Editorial Comment
Worse Than a Crime"
(Boston Herald)

p (BoSton Herald)
When British labor compels the
newspapers to cease publication be-
cause of the opinions they express
and the news they contain. then
British labor commits a blunder of
the first magnitude, such a blunder
as famous Frenchman long ago de-
clared to be worse than a crime.
Labor needs a free press. Capital
can get along without the freedom OF
the press. Democracy Is founded
on a free press Autocracy must
control the press or it cannot con-
tinue to rule, Mussolini climbs to
power and Immediately forces the
press into submission.

Baths historic old city hall, with

one. according to the views of most
people there. 1t has stood the sun

now occupied by the boards of alder
men and common councilmen and
city officials are showing the ravages
of time on the structure. The hall
was built before Bath became a
city, along about the year 1888.
There have been some great speeches
in the old hall, among the speakers
having been Charles Sumner who
spoke in abolition days. In 1894
there was a surplus in the national
treasury and considerable sum was

attack of heart trouble. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kegel left here a week ago

living he was taken so i'll it was
necessary for them to stop there.
The funeral services were held

of 1918, settling on their home

THE THIRSTY STRAWBERRY

Owing to the large water re
quirements of the strawberry, es-
pecially at tthe season of ripen-
ing, it has been found advanta-
geous to provide irrigation for
the crop even in humid regions.
In seasons of sparse rainfall
other growing essentials, such as
sunlight and temperature, are
likely to be most favorable, and
fields provided with irrigation
facilities during such seasons
may yield two or three times as
much as those not so supplied.

Town Built Upon Valuable Oil F;o1'
May Move in Favor of Derricks

HUNTINGTON BEACH. Calf.
Ii may become a town that had
to move. The community of
some 10000 persons has discovered
that it has three oil fields, declared
by oil men to be without precedent.
Black gold was discovered in the
northern portion of the city some
six years ago. The town grew and
prospered. Because the oil derricks
were several blocks from the center
Of town. they did lot interfere with
stores and homes.
Last spring a wildcat well drilled
northwest of town discovered a sec
ond oil pool. This project was sew
erai miles from the center of town
and again no fear was felt that oil
might cause the removal of the town
from its present location.
Drill Downtown
But a short time g oil operators,
with a "hunch' that oil existed un.
der the entire city, drilled a well
within the city limits in the west
end Of town. A special election had
to be called to get necessary permits
sion.
The citizens voted to open a few
blocks for oil drilling. The well
struck oil and a mad rush started.
Since the first well was drilled more
than 100 rigs have been erected and
