Mr.. ]. A. Enlow Celebrates His SOth
Birthday on st. Valentines Day

Birthday on st. Valentines Day
Born on the IA day of February,
1850, on what is now known as the
Charles Dewitt farm, just north of
Hoyes, in Garrett county (then Ale
gany) James A. Enlow came into the
world on st. Valentines Day, 80 years
ago, one of eight children that blessed
the union of John and Priscilla En-
low. 80.
Born to parents in humble circum--
stances, his mother dying when ne
was but six years Of age, the home
and family circle broken, Mr.. Enlow,
as a child suffered much hardship and
mistreatment at the hands of man
with whom he was placed at the death
of his mother. Unable to stand the
hard work and harsh treatment, he
ran away to neighhor's home, where
he was welcomed, the lady of TIE
house, at the point Of gun, proven
ing the man with whom he had lived
taking him back from whence he had
made his escape.
Mr.. Enlow wildly recalls his boy
hood days after his father relocated
in Garrett county; of the large f1ocks
of wild pigeons that had tie be driven
from the buckwheat fields; of the deer
and other game with which their
home table was supplied and many
other events of those primitive times.
Mr.. Enlow has lived to see many
eventful changes, and until he was %
years of age, Garrett county was a
part of Allegany, from which it was
carved A few months after he was
born, Zachary Taylor, President of
the United States, died and was sue
ceeded by Fillmore. He has therefore
lived through the administration of
10 presidents; was living when the B.
& O. railroad was built to the Ohio;
when the Western Union Telegraph
was established; when Chicago and
st. Louis were first reached by rail;
when Europe was connected to the
United States by cable; the first oil
well dug; the Civil war; the first post
al money order issued; the financial
panic of '73, the incadescent light, the
telephone; the photograph; the radio;
the airplane; the automobile; the limo
type, and many other epoc-making
events and inventions.
His consistent Christian life, his
thoughtful and kindly nature has en-
deared him to host of friends, who
wish for him many happy returns and
many years of continued usefulness.

BY JURY,
BUT JAILED

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, June
a6.-The unusual situation Of be-
ing acquitted on q prohibition
charge by a grand jury and then
receiving q sentence of 10 days
. In Jail from the presiding Judge
was experienced in the Corpora
tion Court here by Duff Grady
local hotse-trader.
Grady appeared in court to
appeal Police Court conviction
on the ground that "he had
paved the streets of, Fredericks-
burg in fines and was unwilling
to continue the improvements" ="
The grand fury conceded with
Grady's opinion and returned a
verdict of not guilty"
However. Judge F. w. Coleman
Awas not to be outdone. He called
to Mr.. Grady:
"T'm convinced you are
drunk and consequently / SEN
tence you to 10 days in jail"
Assuming the attitude of Napo.
leon, Mr.. Grady responded:
That's better than making
me pave any more streets. But
; say, Judge, do you know where
] can get anything good to
drink"
He was rushed to a cell.

Is Leading
World in Free LOUe

VIENNA, June 26 Q.N.S0 f..
Austria is the country of illicit
love. Austria is leading the
worlds statistics for illegitimate
children. Almost one-quarter Of
the total number of babies born
last year in the country of wine,
song and love wereA illegitimate.
But, what a surprise, free love,
as far as statistics show, is not
focusing in gay, easy-going and
progressive Vienna. Vienna's rep
utation as free love paradise
is rather unfounded.

ANOTHER disappointment. Another call

promise to come again. She nearly cried when
they were gone. When she aOanted friends so,
achy couldn't she win them?
Then an old school chum she hadn't seen in
years-a doctors wife-came to visit her. And
from her she learned the truth. Found out
about ''B.O.', the polite term for condition

No more lonely, unhappy days now. Friends

German Ship Merger

BERLIN, June 26 QN.S).
With the first payment of TO-
100000 marks from the United
States in settlement of claims for
German ships seized during the
war expected to be forthcoming
within two weeks, plans went
forward today for the gigantic
merger of the Hamburg American
and North German Lloyd lines
and their subsidiary companies.
The ship award payments are
expected to speed up the pro-
jected merger, which would con-
solidate all big German shipping
companies into one mammoth
trust. The merger is expected to
be completed by next spring.

Highway Action To
Awaits Elections

HARLINGEN, July 24-No action
will be taken toward asking the
state to take over the short route
from Edinburg to Harlingen until
after the state elections r over.
This was decided Wednesday at
a meeting at Santa Rosa. sponsored
by the Lions club Of that town. which
was attended by businessmen from
all localities interested in the prof.
ect.
The route already is hard sur
faced except for a three-mile
stretch between Edcouch and San
Ia Rosa in Hidalgo county. The
unfinished sector is across a flood
way.
Harrington delegates to the meet
ing were John II. Floore. secretary OF
the chamber of commerce, and s.
Finley Ewing, Harrington business
man. They reported much enthu-
siasm at the gathering and that
plans would 20 forward rapidly for
putting over the project as soon as
the time is ripe for such action.
