CHEVY CHASE
STILL SERE9

Capt. Guy E. Burlingame' flying
police squadron and police from the
Fourteenth precinct swooped down
on fashionable Chevy Chase today
and uncovered one Of the biggest
complete stills ever found in the
northwest section of the city.
The raid was made on 1910 Foa5-
ty-first St.. just four blocks south
of Chevy Chase circle.
More than ten barrels of peach
brandy mash, several quarts of
alleged corn liquor, several gallons
of denatured alcohol, quantities of
gin and liquor ingredients were
seized. along with a complete still
with capacity of 15e gallons.
Police also found a small touring
car in the garage which they say
was loaded with corn whisky. This
also was co.lfiscated.
Although the still was in oper-
alton last night. the three men
who had. been operating it escaped
before police arrived.
Police say they know the men
who were operating the still and
hope to arrest them shortly. One
of them is a well known bootlegger
who has been up before for viola
tons Of the Volstead Act.
Officials Live Nearby
The house in which the still was
found Is in the center of Chevy
Chase, just two blocks from Con.
necticut Avenue. Within a few
blocks of it are the homes Of many
Senators, Representatives and other
high government officials.
The still it believed by police to
have been in operation about thu ee
weeks. All the equipment is of the
most recent type and brand new.
Police have been watching the
house for about three days, and
finally entered about o'clock this
morning, believing they would trap
the three owners of the still.
The downstairs section Of the
house was fitted up as living quar-
tiers, with a kitchen, dining room
and living room.
Upstairs Business Rooms
The upstairs room, however, were
more business-like. One room quar-
tered the still itself, while the three
other rooms were used to store the
finished liquors and the ingredients
Even the nearby neighbors had
no idea a raid was taking place
until the still and liquor were
brought out of the house. Then
a curious throng of housewives
and residents from all parts Of
Chew Chase, D. c., gathered to
view the results of the biggest raid
ever made in the exclusive suburb.
Those in charge of the raid to-
day were Lieut.. McGill Groves and
Precinct Detective Fl. A. Cole, of
the Fourteenth precinct, and CAP.
tain Burlingame.
Others participating were Leo
Murray and Sergt. G. NJ. Little,
both Of the flying squadron.

\. R. |. BUSES
PROSPECTING

Washington's riding public Is
swarming to the buses of the
washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, the annual report Of the com
pany sent to the Public Utilities
Commission today shows.
An increase OF ] .176 1913 passengers
was carried by the bus lines in 1929
over the previous year. A total Of
5,283 $40 persons were carried dur
ing 1925. The increase more than az
counts for the loss Of 100000 pas
sengers reported by the Capital
Traction Company in its annual re.
port.

Iected from passengers riding in the
District, while the revenue from

Commissioners Spurn
D. c. Opinion, Charge
Trade Board Raps Failure
to Consult Citizens
on Bills

Severe criticism of the District
Commissioners, particularly En-
gineer Commissioners j. Franklin
Bell. for failing to consult with
Washington citizens on the city's
needs in recommending legislation
to Congress, is contained in a letter
sent to the city heads today by
the Board of Trade. over the sigma
ture of j. Harry Cunningham,
president of the organization.
Especial attention is drawn to
the matter of the bill providing
extension of Fourteenth Street
through the Walter Reed Hospital
grounds, in which instance Com
missioner Bell framed a "com-
promise" bill with the counsel of
army officers stationed at the hos
pital. but without comforting with
Washingtonians other than his fell
low Commissioners.
Conferences Suggested
The suggestion is made that con-
ferences between the Commission
ers and Representatives of accred-
tied organizations" be held period
locally, ito the end that the needs
Of the Nations Capitol may be
more thoroughly and carefully dis
cussed and considered, and steps
taken toward securing, without de-
lay, necessary legislation"
The crux of the grievance against
the Commissioners is stated in the
following passage from President
Cunningham's letter:
I'm matters of great interest to
the welfare of the city-frequently
most vital to it's future growth-the
Commissioners have caused to be
introduced bills in Congress, and
appeared before Congressional COM
rnittees advocating this or that

Joe Selenski and Joe Odebraski
have taken the job of painting
st. Isador's Catholic Church.
They began working on this job
Monday.
James Lynch, residing three
miles west of town, has started
building a new house on his
place. Jim built new barn
two years ago and with the ad-
dition of a house this year he
will have a fine place.
A. B. Fruen, Martin Swanson
and G. Henderson visited in town
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Fruen has
filed for nomination on the Re
publican ticket for congressman
in the 10th district, and he is
visiting most of the towns in this
district campaigning for this Of
flee.
A celebration will be held in
Sturgeon Lake on the 5th of
July. The park concessions, fire
works, and dance will be put on
under the auspices of ST. Isador's
church, and they are planning a
big event for this year. A base
ball game will be played on the
local diamond in the afternoon,
the local team meeting some
other strong aggregation.
The town board of Sturgeon
Lake is grading a stretch of road
from Tony Chimelewski's farm,
west one half mile across a tam
arack swamp to the corner of sec
tions 81 and %, connecting with
the other town road to Denham.
The opening of this road will
shorten the drive from highway
No. l to Denham two and one
half miles. The new roadway
will be open to travel by the 18th
of June
The Sturgeon Lake base ball
team trimmed Bruno by a score
of II to 1 on the local diamond
Sunday. This was the second
defeat that they have handed
Bruno during this season. P. An
derson, pitching for Sturgeon
Lake, had the situation well un-
der control all through the game.
He struck out twelve men. The
team made a very good showing
in this game and it looks as if
they have now hit their stride.
A single by J. Southerton and
one by J. Moffat accounted for
the only score that Bruno re,
ceived. Sandstone will be the
opposing team for next Sundays
game and it will be played on the
local diamond. This no doubt
will be a hard fought game as
Sandstone defeated Beroun, the
league leaders, last Sunday, ano
they will furnish a lot of oppo.
sition for the locals.

Eorfh's Doubtful Age

A scientist of Princeton university
believes that recent discoveries In
radio-activity have given us means of
estimating the age Of the earth. Ura-
mum loses one-half of its radiating
power In 100000 years, and the pres
ence of this element in the earth's
crust would indicate that 1t is not less
than 1,0O0,OO0,OOO years old.

S strange that 50 many American communities

is strange that SO many American communities
have not perceived that truth %se
We have in America millions of people whose
minds are at a stage of arrested development.
They made beginning of education, which woke
up their minds to certain extent, but when they
quit school they quit learning, and settled down
into state of mental inertia, which is harmful to
their own chances for advancement and which
prevents them from developing into intelligent
citizens.
Public Libraries operate to keep such people
mentally awake and growing Many Of them of
course would never take books out of such an in
stitution, and yet their children probably would,
SO that the family would constantly be rising to a
higher level of intelligence.
The states vary greatly in the amount of atten-
ton they have given to library development.
Some states have placed library in every town,
while in some they exist only in small proper
ton of the larger and more advanced places We
need nation wide movement to place library in
every town in America, which would mean great
deal for national progress.

RELIEVING THE FARMERS

For four years the national capital has been the
scene of inte1minable controversy about the
troubles of the farmers, particularly those of the
middle west and northwest, but it has proved al
most impossible to obtain any agreement on the
things that ought to be done. large part of the
farming population has had hard time and
opinions differ as to how far they are responsible
for their own troubles.
Without attempting to say how far the govern
ment ought to go in measures to help the farmers,
there are at least four things the farmers ought to
do for their own benefit and which no one else can
do for them.
|. Train themselves for scientific methods
Farming is highly technical process, and people
can't expect to make any great success of it with
out fair measure of technical training. Not
many people would think they could manage a
chemical business without special training, and
handling the chemical elements of the soil and
OF plant growth is about as difficult.
q Avoid paying too much for land A farm
business carrying an exaggerated overhead
charge for land is in as bad hole as railroad
carrying Watered stock
g. United with their neghbors for some form
of combined marketing" The business men and
the wage-earners have advanced their status by
organization, and the farmer can't expect to win
out without some such organization
T. Produce attractive social and educational
conditions in their home towns, so that bright
young people will feel inclined to stay at home in
stead Of rushing to the cities. These four prnci-
pies would go long way to put the farming COM
munity on it's feet in Carbon county,

TRADE EXPANSION

town depends upon two factors, attracting new
customers from outside, and holding those in the
city who have formed the habit of going else
where.
The desire of people to make trips elsewhere for
shopping purposes, arises from kind of underly-
ing feeling that bigger places have better stores.
1t is we'll to remember that the costs Of doing bust
ness in bigger places are greater, and someone
has to'pay those costs.
What we need is spirit of loyal boosting of our
commercial enterprises among all our people. Let
us all shout for the business interests of Red
Lodge every chance we get, and our business will
grow.

you that you will encounter some
greater problems in after life than

You must be able to do we'll something
or many things worth while.
So, Farewell, Seniors, Vale and
Farewell. You are the sons and
daughters of good, honest, hardwork-
ing Christian Fathers and Mothers.
You should succeed and you will. You
are all right and in a way l am sorry
| have said so many harsh things to
you. You have worked faithfully and
you deserve success. Your teachers
have done their best for you, so now
it's up to you.
just as soon as you can do SO with
out serious injury to yourself, try and
forget considerable amount of the
idealism that has attended you thus
far. Life is serious, practical prop
osition. Face it; stand right up and
