High School Varsity Wins
From Three Elves In
Half Hour

The American Legion-Comp&ny
l. five lost in a hotly contested
game 22-21 to the fast Greenfield
Mass, team. The contest was
marred by rough tactics on both
sides.
N. H. s. Varsity five defeated
the Freshmen five 1872. the Soph-
omore five 20-2, and the Junior
five 1872 in a medley contest Of
three 10 minute periods, the re-
sulting score being 1876, N. II. S.
showed excellent form in their
first arnearance or the Armory
court, and did well to pile up 48
points against three different
teams in 80 minutes. The Juniors
put up the best game against
their heavier opponents in holding
them down to II points.
The first period of the Green
field game opened bv pretty shot
by Manning, visiting right for
ward, closely followed by another
counter by Hayes. Then Stevens
broke into the scoring for the
local five with a nice toss from
the side. Manning cut loose for
two more. Stevens registered
again for Newport and Kennison
succeeded in batting one through
the meshes. Greenfield dropped
three more through before the
whistle sounded ending the hale.
The score at the end Of the first
half was 1T in favor of Green
field.
During the second half New
port played the visitors to a stand
still scoring fourteen points
against five. Bigclow broke into
the scoring columns by dropping

CHARGE WOMAN
WITH SETTING
SCHOOL HALL FIRE
Mrs. Florence Bullard Is
Arrested by Newport
Police

Mrs. Florence Bullard was
lodged in Orleans county jail at
Newport Friday evening charged
with settino the fire which came
so near destroying the old School
Hall Wednesday afternoon.
She was arrested by Constable
Ora J. SWEET, Friday eveninp and
was taken to the Newport House
where a hearing was conducted
before A. G. Preble, State Deputy
Fire Commissioner of Barre and
States Attorney Albert w. Far
man. She at first proclaimed her
innocence, but after a gruelling
CroSs-eXamination broke down and
confessed, according to the officers.
She was taken to jail to await Il
further hearing, and trial.
In this case the police say the
woman had d fancied drudge to-
wards the Red Cross Thrift shop
which has been opencd lately in
one Of the upper rooms of the
School Hall. and which has sec
ond hand clothing both for sale
and TO dispense to hhc needy. The
woman had been a frequent an
plicant for help, and it was
learned that at least one article
given to her, she had sold. She
was told at the next application
that no more clothing would be
given to her.
Wednesday afternoon as J. H.
Martin the ianitor Of the school
buildings, was about his work
at the School hall, he met
woman with a bundle under her
arm leaving the building. She in
quired when the Thrift shop would
be open. On being told that it
was only open Tuesday after
moons and evenings she walked
away and Mr.. Martin returned TO
the basement to work. A few mo-
mcnts later his attention was ar
rested by a cracklin~ noise and
he came up stairs to see smoke
pouring from overhead. Hurrying
upstairs to the gallery he found a
sturdy DldZe near tnc u0Of OF the
room used for the Thrift Shop.
He at once secured a hand ex-
tinguiSher but could not put out
the fire with it and telcphoned to
Fire Chief Hamilton Green,
who was soon on the spot. To-
gethcr they used a second hand
chemical and then made use of
the chemical engine from the hose
house which adioins the Hall, the
hose being long cnouoh to use
without moving the truck. The
fire was soon fought to finish,
though it was necessary to tear up
flooring as the flames penetrated
the partitions.
1t was most fortunate that NJ.
Martin arrived on the scene at an
opportunc moment, as the flames
would have made rapid headWay
with the old structure.
1t was plain to be seen that the |
fire was the work of an incenHary

Gently appointed by Gov. Albert G.
Richie as Associate Judge for the
Second Judicial Circuit of Mary
land, comprising the five counties on
the upper half Of the Eastern Shore,
in delivering his first charge to a
grand jury in Queen Anne's county
said:
Quite number of years ago the
voters of this county in their
wisdom, saw proper to pass what
was then called the Local Option
law. This law was passed upon,
district by district, by the qualified
voters of that county. 1t provided
against traffic in intoxicating liquors
and was well enforced. But since
the passage of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Volstead Act 1t
has been thought that It was no
longer necessary for local officers to
see to the enforcement of the Local
Option Law. This is an entirely err
roneous impression. The Local OPP
ton Law is as much in force today
as it ever was, and it makes illegal
all sale, manufactures or traffic in
intoxicating liquors, Just as much as
it did before the enactment, Of Ma
tional Prohibition. Constables, JUS
tees of the peace and other officials
are duty bound to participate in the
enforcement of the law, irrespective
OF their individual opinions. And.
whatever may be the opinion of any
officer as to the wisdom of the pas
sage Of the law, any constable or
justice Of the peace who does not
assist in properly enforcing the law
should resign and let people take
their places who are willing to en-
force it."

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract Sc
we're colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution OF
treatment, and knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their
chances instead of giving their coles
the needed attention. 1t should be
borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality,
makes the system less able to with
stand each succeeding attack anu
paves the way for the more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take
such desperate chances when Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous
for its cures of bad colds may be had
