BOOK MAKING CHARGE

Tried on an indictment charging
gambling, by making books and pools
on horse races, Paul Codd and Lean
der Gentle were acquitted by a jury
in the Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court here today.
There was insufficient evidence tend
ing to show that Codd and Gentle
were actual parties to alleged gamb-
ling and, furthermore, there was con-
fiict as to the proprietors of the place,
the hotel property at the corner of
Bladen and Carroll streets, where
book-making is alleged to have been
conducted. 1t appeared that several
parties were involved in the rental Of
the property, two or more Of whom are

oughly called for his resignation, and
he has been dropped from the rolls.
Details Not Disclosed
Authorities of the academy declined
to discuss circumstances of the case
in detail, but 1t is generally under
stood that young Lions arrest came
as climax to close investigation
that had been under way since the
close of the last summer practice
cruise, when good deal of pilfering
was disclosed aboard the several ships
According to the story, two students
had been under suspicion for some
time, but only one has thus far been
apprehended. Thefts of money and
other things from the rooms Of fellow
students in Bancroft Hall, the dormi-
tory building, are said to have been
the basis of the charges.
Offenses of the sort have been re-
ported from time to time since the be-
ginning Of the last academic term in
October. How the miscreant was fin
ally aprehended has not been dis
closed.

erred to the work the organization can
do in crystallizing sentiment back of
the war on the high cost of sugar. In
this connection he said:
There is no way TO deal adequate

sity Of life--and the necessities of life
are your concern-except to mobolize
the manhood and the womanhood Of
the country to concerted restriction in
Its use

aroused and determined public coop
Grating toward single end.
"Other like occasions are sure to
call for the moral influence of volun-
tary popular action. #lft
How better can these be met than
through the aid of an agency such as
yours, whose ramiflcatons reach the
rich and poor, the high and low alike.
and thus enable you to serve not alone
by material help, not alone by spirf-
tual influence. but by still further
stage of development too, the use of
your great organization to educate the
people wisely in crises such as these,
so as to help arouse them to COM
bined action whenever their true hui
manitarian needs can best be served
that way?
And so, General and Mrs. Booth,
as the two leaders of a great cause,
great in what it has done and is do
ing. and greater still in what it can
do, it is a privilege to lay at your
feet the genuine tribute of the State
of Maryland?

County Banks
Show Increase
CASH ON HAND HAS INCREAS.
ED; LOANS DECREASED SINCE
JANUARY LIST, 1922.

Interesting figures concerning the
banks of Minnesota have been publish
ed recently, the majority of these
statements showing that banks are
showing increased instead of depict
ed deposits.
Redwood County banks are among
those showing this increase, the in
crease in the cash on hand and due
from banks increasing S346, 250.00
since January LIST, 1922 At the same
time the amount these banks have
had to- borrow has decreased $614,-
10000. Speaking approximately this
means that Redwood County was a
million dollars better off last June
than they were the first of January
1922, and that the county is returning
to it's old-time state of prosperity and
plenty.
The return to this prosperity has
been much more gradual, however, in
those counties that have not a fully
developed dairy industry than it has
been in counties where cows and
cream checks have worked together
for the prosperity of the farmer.
While Redwood County and those
like her that have been slow to adopt
-dairying are showing a good in
crease, the farmers and bankers here
are not Sitting quite so pretty as IN
the dairying counties. The answer is
