When you ramble over the coun-
ty you get a chance to hear what
the farmers are talking about
They all talk about the black eye
the machine collector got, and they
all enjoy it, some even have him in
the hospital half killed, and the
man who did it is looked upon as
a real hero. They read the story
in the Producers News and pass
the paper around to the neigh
bors.
They are all talking hard times
and none of them can pay their
taxes but they don't seem to care
much about that part. They are
cussing Hoover and hope he wont
be elected, but they don't think
that Roosevelt is going to be any
better, so they are going to vote
for Foster just to get even with
the other two birds. And they all
hope that Rodney Salisbury will
be our next governor.
The prohibition question they
don't seem to care much about any
more, they have no money to buy
booze with anyway, and they are
getting so they can make their
own beer, some of them even a
little moon, but they sure DOM
like the tax on the malt any bet
ter than any other tax.
The government feed and seed
loans they are not much worried
about, they can't pay them anywa!
so the government can wait a few
;; years longer and then forget al
about it. They are not going t.
give their 80 cent wheat to tn
: government. They would rather
, feed it to the pigs and eat tn
: pigs.
Then there is the Federal Ian
$ Bank. Of all the hi-jacking cor

CECIL MEN CAUGHT IN
LIQUOR RAID

Kent county police early on
Sunday morning of last week
captured an auto truck in Ga
lena loaded with liquor, and
arrested and turned over to
Federal officers Oscar Will
liams, 20, Baltimore, the driv-
er; Maurice Sewers, 81, Guy
Bowers. %, and Alexander
Marker, Negro, all of North
East, Cecil county.
The Kent county officers
were guarding the highways in
search of the Trappe, Md,
bank robbers, and their vigil
led to the raid that netted 12O
gallons of whiskey, a $50 gall
lon still and nearly 10000 gall
Ions of rye mash, and the ar
rest of the four men charged
with the operation of the still
and transportation of liquor.
When the heavily laden
truck, without lights, passed
the officers became suspicious
and gave chase, overhauling
and finding a load of 100 gal
Ions of liquor. Tracing the
route of the truck by tracks in
the mud, the officers located
the largest still ever uncovered
in Kent county, nestled on the
banks of the Sassafras river on
the Cochan farm.
At dawn the still was raided,
one man captured as he was
kindling a fire under the boiler,
and two others nabbed while
they were asleep.
The plant, valued at $4,000,
was wrecked by the officers
with 25 sticks of. dynamite. 1t
was learned that the still had
been set less than a week when
captured, and that only one
run of liquor had been made.

8, at Colora. .<ain made the play rag
ged and forced the umpire to call the
game in the seventh inning.
The Wilmington team took the first
inning when single, two steals and o
fly to the out field produced one run.
The home team came back to tie the
score in the second stanza wnen .,oi st
doubled to drive Eby home. The
Debbert coached outfit went into the
lead in the next inning when poist an d
Crowd doubled. The fourth again
found the count knotted when the
visitors gathered two runs on three
hits and an error. Two runs in the
fifth and like number Ia the xth
gave the Win ngtoa nine a comforta-
BILE lead. But in the seventh the locals
scored two runs after two were out to
tighten up the game. The Nottingham
rally was broken up when Cameron
was thrown out at second attempting
to stretch single.
Eagle Marshall, who turned back
Salesianum in the opening Trade
School game, found himself in trouble
on several occasions but managed to
turn back the Nottingham batters.
Metzgar, the Nottingham twirler, also
pitched effectively but had some
trouble controlling the wet ball.
