TRUCK LINE IN HARTFORD
COUNTY

The Mcmahon Express Corpora
ton has heen granted permission by
the Public Service Commission to
conduct q motor truck freight bust
ness between Bel Air and Darling
ton, Bel Air and Havre de Grace,
and Bel Air and Norrisville via
Forest Hill and shawsville.
I. The Commission refused, how
ever, to permit the company to op-
erate general freight business
between baltimore and Bel Air, as
requested by the Company, on the
ground that this territory already is
served adequately by the Maryland
and Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Company, however, may
carry milk from Bel Air to Balti-
more and return the empty cans to
Bel Air. The carrying OF general
freight was disallowed either going
to or returning from Baltimore.

PUT ONE OVER ON THE
MOONsHINER

The Oxford News of this week
prints the following item, which will
have considerable interest to a num-
ber in this locality who are not
given much to publishing their
movements:
Zone of the prominent moon
sinners of Northern Maryland is be-
moaning the terrible loss that came
to him last week, when thieves
from Baltimore came to his place,
stole 200 gallons Of moonshine and
then stuck him for about $40 in
cash.
Honest to goodness, it amt safe
for an honest man to go out at night
any more. The thieves came to the
home Of this moonshiner, loaded the
liquid in their machine and were
about to start away when he sug-
gested that they had evidently for
gotten the important part Of the
transaction. Instead of producing
cash with which to pay for their
cargo, one of them whipped out a
gun that looked like piece of
coast artillery and ordered the
moonshiner to get aboard. Not be-
ing properly prepared for his de-
mise, he obeyed orders and climbed
in the automobile. Some distance
down the road they ordered him to
turn out his pockets and gathering
up the seventy dollars which he
produced they dumped him out on
the road and went on toward their
destination. The moonshiner was
afraid to call in the authorities for
fear they might investigate him a
little too thoroughly, so there was
nothing left for him to do but cuss.
He is still doing that"

ENDORSEMENT TO
COLORADO CLUB

W. F. Holt, former Imperial Val
ley rancher, writes to C. f. Paris
endorsing the Colorado River Con-
troll Club. The letter follows:
2llS South Harvard Boulevard.
Dos Angeles, California.
August "a, 1924.
Mr. c. E. Paris,
Ell Centre, California.
Dear Mr.. Paris:
| have noted with interest the
efforts of the "Colorado River Con-
troll Club for the control and uti-
lization of the flood waters of the
Colorado River, free from the pet
hobbies and personal interest of
any man or set of men and for the
best interest of all who may be in
terested in this great problem. 1t
seems to me that this is the first
organized movement that has gotten
under way looking to the solution
of this problem along practical and
reasonable lines.
/ have never believed it possible
to pass the necessary bill to do this
work so long as it is hooked up with
the "All American Canal" " for the
following reasons: I still believe
there are enough sensible and level
beaded men in Congress to prevent
the passage of a bill with the dan
gerous possibilities in this "All-
American Canal" project; person
ally, I have always been opposed to
it and have always believed and still
believe that it would be calamity
to the Imperial Valley to have this
project saddled on to it; considering
the tremendous cost of building
maintaining and operating, and the
other dangerous problems involved
I do not believe it is practical oi
feasible and do not believe it is
Imperial Valley press., 1924-08-25

its own merits and let it stand or
fall in 4 billgbY itself.
/ have been amazed at the very
large amounts of the hard earned
money of the farmers of the I'm
perial Valley that have been spent
on this can. American Capal' mat.
ter and I have sometimes wondered
if the people Iwere keeping this
agitation up asa Kind of 'ornamen-
tai proposition in order to have an
excuse for giving some of their pro-
minent and would-be prominent ci-
tizens nice vacation, every once
in while by sending them to Wash
ington at the taxpayers expense.
After all, the control of the
floods of the Colorado is the great
problem for the Imperial Valley
and with this solved the Imperial
Valley will be able to take care of
everything else necessary for its
success and prosperity. The "Colo-
RADIO River Control Club is on the
right track and everybody should
get behind it and help push it
along.

Rev. Colin O'Farell, preached

Twice a tether around his neck
was all that kept the monkey
from biting the minister, who
had to shout to be heard above

The monkey finally had to be
taken from the auditorium be-
