MASH FOUND In SPRING
HOUSE ON SAVEDCE FARM
Alleged Owner Reported to Have
Left State-Kight Farm Also
Raided; Home Brew Found

State and Federal officers made sew
eral raids in this community during
the past few days which netted one
arrest and the seizure and destruction
OF a quantity of mash and more than
a hundred bottles of "home brew"
Saturday afternoon Sheriff Guy
Yutzy and Deputy Sheriff W. D. Cas-
teel, acting upon evidence which re-
Gently came into their possession that
all was not what it should be on a
farm located near Deer Park, which
is owned by Charles R. Savedge, Wis
tied the place and in spring house
they found two barrels of mash, al
legged to have been the property of
Savedge. The mash was DESTROYED
and search was instituted for Saw
edge, but he could not be found. Yes
terday word reached the sheriff's Of
flee that Savedge had left the State
and was at some point in Virginia.
Monday evening Prohibition En-
forcement Officers Harvey and Jarvis
accompanied by Sheriff Yutzy and
Deputy Casteel went to the farm of
E. G. Right, a few miles south Of
Oakland, where search of the prem
ises resulted in the discovery and con-
fiscation and later the destruction Of
1874 bottles of ''home brew" beer.
The arrest of Rights son, youth
of about nineteen years, followed, who
gave bond for his appearance. The
farm is operated by young Right and

tious and efficient in performing their
work. The Court knows of but few
criminal violations of a serious ma
ture, nor are we advised of the ex-
istence of any large number of lesser
violations, but the fact that the Court
knows of only a small number of
criminal offenses does not mean that
others have not been committed, nor
does it mean that you should be any
less active, vigilant and careful in
your Investigations. The Court is by
no means omniscient,and many things
may and do occur of which we have
no knowledge and no means of OBJ
tanning knowledge, and even if there
are no large number of violations, the
surest means of preventing an in
crease is the prompt and vigorous
prosecution of those which have oc-
Cured.
There was at one time some ques-
ton as to whether or not the various
io"o VI liiC SlaIC VI ISldI-
ing to or prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquors had been repealed
by the adpotion of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, but it has been deter
mined by the Courts that these laws
are still in force, and hence any per-
son whom you find has violated them
should be indicted. Some difficulty is
being experienced in various parts of
the country with the enforcement of
prohibition land in many places diff
ferences of opinion exist regarding
the wisdom of such laws, but SO far
as the Courts are concerned, and so
far as officials charged with the duty
of enforcing the laws of the land are
concerned, there is only one attitude
to take on the matter-whatever law
exists must be enforced. If the peo-
pie of the country do not think that
some particular law is a proper one,
there is constitutional way in which

Leaders in any line of industry are
those men who visualize future posi-
bilities and work and study to make
their dreams come true. The reali-
cation of an ambition is what men
call success.
In agriculture, with its many diff
ferent branches, there is room, even
in small communities, for several
leaders, and an opportunity for the
realization of many dreams and the
qualification of great ambitions.
An agricultural fair, as the name
implies, is an exposition of the pro-
ducts of the soil. And since nothing
is great or small, except by COMPARE
son, the Garrett County Fair offers to
the individual an opportunity to as
certain the relative merits of the
products of his or her brain, hands
and soil.
The ideas and methods which
have been most successful in produc-
ing the desired results are the ones
that should be more generally en-
ployed. The exchange of ideas and
comparison of methods then becomes
of even more Importance than the
comparison of the products them
selves.
By taking advantage of these op-
portunities, all those who attend the
Garrett County Fair will come to re-
alize that it is primarily an educa-
tional institution and should mean op-
portunity to each individual.
The officers of the Garrett County
Fair are endeavoring to cover the en-
tire field of agriculture as it relates to
Garrett county and adjoining coun-
ties, not only by having on exhibition
the best of material products, but by
divulging the methods that have been
employed to make these exhibits of
more than ordinary merit.
No matter in what phase of agri-
culture you are interested, the Gar
rett County Fair will be an opportun-
ity, and should be an inspiration for
each individual who attends or who
may have an exhibit on display at the
Fair.

TOURISTS" TEST LIQUOR
ATNNSNEAR EVANSVILLE
Visitors Were Federal Enforce
ment Officers Harvey and Jar
Wis, Who Made a Still Hunt

Two tired tourists" drove west
ward from Frostburg Saturday after
noon on the National Highway and
stopped at several roadhouses for re-
freshment. They halted first at Ruff
fo's Inn, seven miles west of Frost
burg, at the top Of Meadow Mountain
in Garrett county, and ordered liquor,
as it was a cool, raw drive over the
intervening mountains. After the al
legged liquor was served, the tourists
they were Federal Prohibition Off
GERS William R. Harvey and Cleveland
D. Jarvis-produced search warrants.
The officers arrested Tommy Ruffo,
the alleged proprietor, charged with
sale and possession.
Ruffo was taken to Grantsville and
given hearing before Justice Zeller,
who held him under a State charge
preferred by the officers.
Officers Harvey and Jarvis also
stopped at Hilltop Inn,near Grants
vile, where they allege they made a
purchase of liquor. They also pro-
duced search warrants at this Inn and
after making an inspection of the
premises, they claim to have found a
quantity of liquor which was hidden
on the property. Frank Knecht, the
barkeeper, was arrested and taken to
Grantsville where he was held under
$500 bond by Magistrate Zeller for
his appearance at the present term
of the Garrett County Circuit Court
in session in Oakland.
From Hill Top Inn the officers went
to the farm of John Wilburn, near
Grantsville. They say young man
whom they identified as Wilburn's
son, ran to the woods with a seventy
five gallon still on his back. The Off
GERS gave chase and the still becom-
ing too weighty, the carrier dumped
it down on the road for the officers to
take home as souvenir. Harvey and
Jarvis continued deeper into the
woods and found a twenty-five gallon
still and two barrels of whiskey mash.
Wilburn was arrested, charged with
manufacture and possession, and was
held under a bond of $1,000 for the ac-
ton of the Garrett county grand jury.
They also dropped in on George
Swauger, a farmer, looking for a re-
ported still, but met with no success.
Harvey says Swauger had some fif-
teen gallons of homebrew beer cool
ing on the back porch and offered the
officers taste. He was cited to APP
pear in Cumberland Monday and ex-
plain to the United States Commits
sioner.

NATION NEEDS NARROWER
 PANTS, BROADER IDEALS
Will Rogers Also Favors College It Takes Children Away at
 Arguing Age

New York. Dec. g CP-What the youth of this country needs, as Will Rogers sees it. is narrower pants and broader ideals. The humorist de- livered his opinion in his only New York appearance of the season at a charity affair last night. He com- pared himself with Bernard Shaw on the grounds that i've both know the worlds all wrong. but don't know what's the matter with it."
 Tn this country" he said. i've built three golf courses to every air. plane. The government isn't sure about aviation. so it's going to wait two more years to find out whether airships are practical We are the only nation in the world that uses our air for speaking purposes only. The next wars going to be in the air. They're not going to shoot anything at you, they're just going to drop in on you.'
 Taking up farm relief, Mir. Rogers observed that now they are saying that what the farmers need is CO., operative marketing. If they cant get as much for their crops as it costs to raise them, the farmers ought to sell together. When the check comes back then they'll be able to cheer each other up"
 Mr. Rogers declared himself In favor of college because it takes the children away from home just when they get to the arguing age" and said he would go to college himself if he had a coonskin coat.
