V0LSTEAD ADMITS
 ITS IMPOSSIBLE
Father Of Law Says Nation Can't
 Be Wholly Arid

St, Paul, July 19 tP)-Andrew Nolstead, father of the dry law has decided that the time vii ! never come when q person canno get an intoxicating drink if h. wants it.
 Perfect prohibition is as impos sible as perfect prevention of mur- der or robbery, he says.
 Getting him 10 comment upor himself or the cause he espousec is a task requiring patience. He shuns publicity, and for that req. son the country that has come tc regard his name as synonymous with prohibition, has lost trace ot him.
 Six days week the tall, spare man Of n. gray-haired, wrinkled and seldom smiling, is at his desk in the northwest prohibition en- forcement headquarters here. He is the legal adviser.
 Noltscad. as chairman of the jul dietary committee of the lower house of congress, led in the draft ing of the prohibition enforcement act in 1919. Later he was defeated for reelection.
 Out of his experiences in the en- forCement bureau. Nolstead has reached some conclusion. There all ways will be liquor for those who want il, he believes; "homebrew' often is more poisonous than moon shine; the sale of malt and hops combination should be banned; the buyer IS as morally guilty as the seller. and the cafe or hotel serv- ing "set-ups' is morally violating the law.
 Nolstead holds that prohibition has brought great prosperity to the average man; has reduced drunk enncss and poverty; has made re- mote a temptation and raised the social standards of a nation. He thinks Great Britain eventually will try prohibition, and other European countries will follow.
 He has no patience with the claim that prohibition is an at tempt by law 10 regulate morals, and therefore illogical
 flaw does regulate morality" he observed, somewhat heatedly for such taciturn individual. Law has regulated morality since the Ten Commandments were given.
 Personal liberty has been taken away, cry the vets. Personal lib- orty also was taken away by the quarantine laws, and the right to steal was taken away by the law against larceny.
 "Thc American public has to an- sWor only the question as 10 whether prohibition is the best known method of eliminating drunk cunoss, not whether the law is per feet.
 "Granting some basis of truth 10 rha claims of the wet press and others bIackeninG the character of our young people for a selfish in- terCst, VIC contend that the young people of today and most Of those drinkers who are not the class re- cruitod from saloon days are occa- sional drinkers, and never will ac- quire the habit of drunkenness"
 Nolstead stopped ahashcd. Ho had talked longer than he intend- cd He could have made 2 fortune writing books and for magazines. but preferred comparative ohscuri- ty. He once had q good offer 10

ROAD LEVY NOT SUFFICIENT

Your correspondent read the diff

Of the undersigned. who has not

available. The expense of keeping
dirt roads passable for motor traffic
is enormous where the ground is
springy.
There are various expenses which
seem plausible to a progressive COM
munity and which the taxpayer is
called upon to meet which are of
comparative recent date.
Against this we would say there
are roads in this section if continued

ANGLER LANDS SEVENTY-ONE
POUND BASS

A new worlds record in the taking
of channel bass has been established
in Del-Mar-Va Peninsula waters at
Chincoteague Is, Va. Chas. Becker,
Brooklyn, N. Y, on Friday, June 90,
landed a channel bass weighing II
pounds which was 81 inches in length,
with girth of "a inches. The former
record was a bass weighing IS pounds
taken off the New Jersey coast several
years ago.
National attention is directed to
Chincoteague Island as a result of this
remarkable catch. Mr.. Beckman was
fishing with Captain Tom White, in
Koblin's Slough, about five miles from
Chincoteague Island. He was using a
ten ounce split-bamboo tip 20 surf
casting reel and No. IL thread line.
His bait was a chunk cut from a
mossbunker.
From Mr.. Beckman's description of
his battle with this gamy salt water
giant it requird thirty-five minutes to
land it. On returning to the Island the
fish was frozen in a cake Of ice and
shipped to New York where it was put
on exhibition in a display window OF
a newspaper. Later it will be turned
over to the Museum of Natural History
which institution will have it mounted
and placed on exhibition.
Mr.. Beckman is an ardent angler
and has been fishing in Chincoteague
waters for several years. Previous to
his record catch the largest channel
bass ever taken at Chincoteague
weighed SO pounds.

Tanned Ground Squirrel
Makes Good as Mouser

A golden mantled ground squirrel,
tanned by rangers at the Dunraven
Pass station, in Yellowstone National
park, not only made al excellent pet,
but also took upon himself the duties
of mOuser. At first considerable local
comment was caused by the fact that
that squirrel, known as Chippie, had
caught mouse, but Ernest Thompson
Seton, well-known naturalist, states
that this species Of squirrel. which is
really rodent. is in the habit Of
catching field mice Therefore the
step to catching a mouse indoors was
not such long one for Chippie.
Chippie made great hit with the
Dunraven rangers. "Chippie has prov
en- quite bit of company to me"
said one of them. "He will come
when call him If he is within hear
ing distance. He shows no fear Of
me at all unless make a very sud-
den movement.

EXPERIMENTAL PLOTS SEEN BY
POTATO GROWERS

Farmers who attended the annual
Worcester County Potato Tour in
that county on June FL, among 9TH
er things, were given the opportu-
nifty to So nnrannits of demonstra1
TOY menfs which have
been on there for a number
Of years. One OF the more important
of these demonstrations, according
to DR.. R. Jehle, pathologist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, was the seed source plots
wEere, after experimentation for
three or four years, it was found
that northern grown seed gave the
largest yield; mountain grown sec
ond largest, and fall grown seed the
smallest yield. However, the yield
from one kind of fall grown seed
was approximately the same as the
yield from one of the northern seeds.
The difference in yield from various
individual growers in the same To-
eality was as great or greater than
the average difference in yield
obtained in seed from different
sources. The results indicate that
the methods employed in the pro-
duction of potato seed stock are
more important factors in influence
ing yields than the locality in which
the seed is grown.
The tourists were also able to
inspect the plots where certified and
uncertified seed were planted. The
results of these paintings for the last
five years showed the average yield
for certified seed to be 1892 BUSH
els per acre, while for uncertified 1t
was only 1888 bushels. In the ma
jority of the tests it was found that
the seed which came up and matur-
ed the earliest gave the largest yield.
The smallest yields were obtained
from plots with the largest number
of missing weak and diseased plants.

Invention That Would
Dispel Fo0s Awaited

No practical way has as yet been
found for dispelling fogs, declare
weather bureau meteorologists. Many
schemes have been advanced for the
artificial dissipation Of fog, but the
places that have always been notori-
GUS for the thickness of their atmos-
phere still have their murk.
Shortly before the World war the
city of Lyons, France, voted money
for preventing the formation of fog
in that city by coating the Rivers
RhOne and SaOne with oil. About the
same time the Cottrell process of cleo
trical precipitation, which is success
fully applied in treating industrial
dusts and fumes, was tried on the
fogs of the California coast. but moth
ing seems to have resulted. The ma
val aircraft factory at Philadelphia
has tried to eliminate mists by means
of electrified sprays, but no tangible
results have been announced. Schemes
for draining off fog-laden air from fly
ing fields and for warming the air
over such places and thus causing the
fog to evaporate have been investi-
gated and found impracticable.
On a small scale and in favorable
circumstances fog can be dispelled.
say the meteorOlogists, but all known
methods are too costly for commercial
use.

NEW GAS TAX LAW IN PENNA

July LIST the tax on gasoline in the
State of Pennsylvania increased
from three to four cents gallon.
The fourth cent of tax continues for
one year, the tax reverting to three
cents July 1, 1880. The next year
is expected to net the State approx
mately $30,OO0,OOO in gasoline tax,
as compared with slightly more than
$22,G00,O00 during the last year
under the three-cent tax.
Two precautions are being initi-
ated by the State coincident with the
higher tax to be certain that the
money which motorists pay to deal
ers as gasoline tax is actually paid tc
the State. One of the precautions
is requiring a bond from each filling
station operator to pay the tax
money. The other is requiring tax
payments to be made to the State
every month instead of once in three
months.

HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAKS IN
MONTH OF JUNE

The disease was reported to exist
on Is premises in Maryland against
nine year ago, and ten year aver
age of Is for the same period. Nine
were classed as backyard outbreaks
while six occurred on farms where
logs are bred and raised. All of
the outbreaks were primary.
Montgomery county had five out
breaks, Frederick three, Charles
two, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Dor
chester, Howard ambient each one
case of the disease.
Thirteen of the outbreaks were
apparently due to infected pork in
garbage, table scraps, kitchen swill,
etc., while two were due to the pur-
chase of infected hogs.

JULY 4th 1870

That surging crowd, with anxious|
faces, whispered voice,
Had waited on that summer day forl
many hours,
While those in council chamber|
made the choice;
Should this, our land be free, or
under foreign powers?
Listening tense for the signal, the
ringing of the bell;'
Hanging in the state house tower,
would proclaim the news.
It's iron tongue, to patriot souls,
would tell
What those grave, earnest council
men would choose.
Waiting. almost fainting in the July
blazing sun;
Standing long and fearful in the
crowded way;
Hoping, yet fearing of what the men
had done; S.
What would be ventured on that
fateful day.
But bark! speaks loud to all, that
iron tongue,
Ringing out good news, that glad
some summer day;
No sweeter news to them could ere
be rung;
Nor cared tkey not, what they might
have to pay.
Over all the countryside the news
was sped,
Of what was written on that summer
day,
BY patriot souls, long numbered
with the dead,
But living still their deeds, will live
Away.
