Things are beginning to look
again like 1918. Cotton ON the

CURSE OF TENANT SYSTEM
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
commented editorialIy on Sunday
about the large amount Of wheat
rye, oats and wool that Talbot
raised sixty years ago, and asks
the question why Talbot and 9TH
er counties cannot do the same
thing now? To this inquiry per-
nit us to make this answer: Tai
bot county can; we have simply
been curesd for over a half cen
fury by the tenant system; up
until the time Of the boil wee
vii negro and a mule brought
in good returns, but now it takes
brains and judgment to farm
and incidentally some elbow
grease thrown in for good meas
ure. A few years will no doubt
sec Talbot at the head of the
peach growing list and Talbot is
also fine county in which to
set pecan groves.-The New Era.

MYSTERY


Rafael Schermann, known to
Vienna police as "the man with
the X-ray eyes," visits America.

lty to look at bit of handwrjt-
ing and be able to tell all about

under which it was written. He
mas helped the police solve many

In America, Schermann will
demonstrate before scientists. He
comes at the psychological mo-
ment. The nation is swept by a
wave of intense interest in the psy-
chic. These waves come roughly
every 80 years, following BIG
wars.

if John Shanks shows that his de-
partment sliced 172 stills and parts
of stills for the fiscal year ending
June 80, last.
These stills ranged in size and value
from small home made affairs made
from milk cans and wash boilers to
elaborate plants with as high as a so
gallon capacity. These seizures are
for stills alone and does not take
into consideration the vast amount or
mash, finished moonshine and other
materials used in the making of IL
quor which are also given in the re-
port.
The state sherif's department made
a total of $50 arrests during the rs

lations of the prohibition acts. or

ting the state in fines imposed the
total cum of ~$l9,42S.S4. There was
a total of 354 seizures of all kinds,
ranging from the broken glass of a
throw onto a sidewalk to automobiles
in which liquor was being transport
ed. There was enough moonshine and
mash taken to float a ship t dumped
in a lake bed.

NEW SCHOOL FACULTY
ENTERTAIN OLD FACULTY

AT a great expense" on November
Z, 1923, the new faculty of Miller High
School entertained the old faculty at
a Very elaborate four curse dinner.
The dining room and tales were arts,
tically decorated with cherry bios
SONS. Japanese parasols, chrysanthe-
NUNS, and butterflies.
The guests we T. escorted to the fes-
tival hall by Honorable Edward Evans
assisted by the charming Miss Turn
quist. After having partaken of the
second course, the guests were asked
to consult a sealed envelope which had
been placed berleath their tavCrs. Eacn
one was expected to discuss the sub
ject suggested. Miss Jennings founa
that she had bQen lucky CD enough
to be the POSTMASTER. After a pre-
liminary speech, spiued with native
wit. she was clever enough to turn
the tables and the entertainers founo
themselves somewhat surprised since
II was necessary for them to discuss
their "weighty' subjects. However,
Miss Gates, Miss Wilson, Mr.. Roche
and Mr.. Evans did admirably.
Following the fourth course, wo
found in our midst Midshiez Zand-
schishe, the Japanese wonaer. The
greatest living mind reader of the
times. Very cleverly and intelligentIy
she answered the questions asked by
the guests.
The latter part of the evening was
spent in a less dignified amer Tho
~sagacious faculty, young and ola,
handsome and otherwise. maze merry
until a late hour at a Cucu-Bow-Bow-
Hunt.
Each guest departed, leaving with
the new teachers HE personal check"
of appreciation for the hospitality
shown.

SUMMARY OF NATIONAL
CONDITIONS
BY John Perry Federal Reserve

By John Perry Federal Reserve
Agent.
Production and trade continued
in large volume during Ap;il. There
was some slackening of business
activity in the latter part Of the
month and during the early weeks
of May, partly on account Of seas
onal influences.
Production. The Federal Reserve
Boards index of production in
basic industries declined about 1
per cent in April. Production OF
lumber. anthracite coal, and mill
consumption of cotton decreased,
while there were increases in the
output of pig iron and petroleum.
There was a further increase in the
number of building contracts award
ed in April, but the value Of build
ing issued in 1913 cities was Is per
cent less than the record figures Of
March. The decrease was due chief
ly to a curtailment of new projects
in New York, as the aggregate value
Of permits at other reporting cities
showed an increase of 20 per cent.
Car loadings continued to be much

MIR. C. E. Baker of the WESTERN
BLOOMER GIRLS Base Ball Club,
was in the city making arrange
ments for the first appearance of
the WESTERN BLOOMER GIRLS
Base Ball Club in Winslow which
will be on Wednesday June 18th
with the Winslow club.
General Agent Baker states that
in introducing this club of high
class lady players to the public in
general he wishes it to be under
stood that they do not travel with
the intention of d awning crowds,
just through the novelty of ladies
playing ball, but really draw the
people through their ability to play
a wonderfully interesting, exciting
and scientific game of ball, and
when taken in consideration that
WESTERN BLOOMER GIRLS are
composed of young ladies, the games
they play are all the more remark

larger than in the corresponding
weeks of previous years, owing
chiefly to heavy shipments of manu-
featured goods In spite of present
heavy traffic, the shortage of freight
cars has largely disappeared. I'M
pIoyment at industrial establish
ments continued to increase during
April, although plants in Eastern
states reported some reductions in
their forces, and there was an in
crease in those states in the number
Of concerns working part time.
Increases in ware rates were an
nounced by many concerns, and
average weekly earning Of factory
workers increased about 1 per cent.
