made to reorganize and set in opera
ton real American Legion Post here
in Garrett county.
There is an available membership
of approximately five hundred men
throughout the county. The men who
ave been in any way attached to the
81 ,es of the Great War should still

q together in an organization like
HE failure to have an organized
post excludes all service men from
any recognition in Legion affairs
What the National organization is
doing is of vital interest to all and
our support should be given. The
social and fraternal side of Post is
worth much and should be encour-
aged. So come and help boost real
post that can be made live as long as
there are men to carry its standards

A Woman Protests.

Last Friday mornings issue of the
Baltimore Sun, in its Peoples Forum,
printed the following vitriolic letter
from an Oakland woman protesting
against the antagonism shown the
Volstead law, which is always given
prominent place in the columns of
the Sun and in other papers of like
wet tendencies. The author of the
letter is quite well known and has no
hesitancy at any time and upon any
occasion in giving voice to her con-
vicitons as expressed in this letter to
the Sun:
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: |
as one woman born and reared in the
State of Maryland, arise to refute the
assertions of certain women who seem
to pride themselves on their attitude
concerning the liquor question. l in
wardly seethe and could heartily
adopt Carrie Nations methods if
were physically fit and there was the
ghost of a show such methods would
be effective.
First, that the whiskey purveyors
were never respecters of persons OF
laws either before or since the reign
of Volsteadism and the boys who were
lured in before are furnishing the re-
cruits of today because nearly all the
old topers have gone the way of all
flesh. deny the statement that be-
fore Volsteadism liquor was not sold
to men under Fl. l am speaking now
of four very promising young boys
who are today filling drunkards

RAILROAD GIVES SCHOLAR
SHIPS TO FARM CHILDREN
Baltimore & Ohio Promotes Ed
ucation in Rural Sections BY

Believing that Agricultural Club
work is a necessary system of educa-
ton for our rural youth, which sys-
tenn must continue to grow so that it

numbers of rural boys and girls, the
Baltimore G. Ohio Railroad announces
that it will award a 500 scholarship

most efficiently completes his or her
project in Agricultural Club work.
The club member may enter any
type of club work recognized and SUI
pervised by the University of Mary
land Agricultural Extension Service,
such as Corn Clubs, Potato Clubs,
Sewing Clubs, Canning Clubs, Calf
Clubs, Pig Clubs, etc.
The winner of the Baltimore & Ohio
scholarship will have the alternative
of using the scholarship for educa-
tional purposes at any recognized col
lege or university in the State or in
defraying the expense of an educa-
tional trip to the Boys and Girls Fifth
Annual Club Congress and Interna-
tional Livestock Exposition at Chi
cago next December.
The Baltimore & Ohio has award
ed so scholarships to date, 33 of which
the winners chose to use for educa-
tional purposes at their respective
State universities, while II chose the
educational trip. Of the 33 Club men,
bers who elected the scholarships for
educational purposes, Is are now in
college in the States of Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virgin
la, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

ships to date are: Katharine Baker,
Edgemont, Washington county; Nor
wood G. Thornton, Elkton, Cecil coun-
ty, Maryland.

Baltimore & Ohio Poultry Clubs being
conducted in certain Maryland coun-
ties, the prize winners in which are

Monster Hog Raised In Garrett

The hame weighed 1870 pounds each
and the shoulders, before being trim

much lard was rendered from the i'm

The hog measured s feet nine inches

LOCAL BOOTLEGGERTAKEN
INTO CUSTODY IN PENNA.
William Durr Sent To Jail at
Somerset, Besides Being AS
sessed S1O0 Fine by Court

The Salisbury correspondent of the
Meyersdale (Pa.) Republican gave an
account in his letter of last week of
the arrest and conviction of an al
legged Garrett countian on the charge
of bootlegging at Salisbury Saturday
night, February 9th. The article
follows:
William Durr, one of several Gar
rett county (Md.) bootleggers who
have long been transporting illicit
liquor into Salisbury, was arrested
last Saturday night by Constable F.
J. Swartzwelder, at the instigation Of
District Attorney Cober. Durr had
long been suspected of transporting
booze into Salisbury and when arrest
ed five pints of whiskey were found
on his person in that many bottles.
The liquor, as we'll as the offenders
Ford car, was confscated and the Gull
prit was locked up in the borough Jail
until Sunday when he was committed
to the county Jail by Squire R. A. Kid
ner in default of bail in the sum Of
$1,000 A few local "rummies" APP
peared before Squire Kidner and Of
fered to go on bond for Durr, but
the squire regarded the whole aggre-
cation not worth more than about Is
cents financially and good deal less
morally and refused all overtures Of
the would-be bondsmen. The prisoner
was accordingly taken to Somerset on
Monday where he had a hearing be-
fore Judge Berkey. Durr admitted
that he had been trafficking in wet
goods, but when questioned by the
court as to the name of the person he
obtained the liquor from his memory
was so bad and his answer SO unsat-
isfactory and evasive that the court
gave him 80 days in Jail in addition to
hundred dollars fine and also requir-
ed Durr to pay the costs of prosecu-
ton
