change for the clearing of wild
berries, nettles and weeds. A va
cant lot rarely helps to beautify
a town.
The idle land in Wrangell
should be put to work. 1t is an
economic waste otherwise. The
money a family saves by raising
its own vegetables can be used to
good advantage in other ways. A
garden will also provide, at very
little cost, the foods the vege-
tables, at least, which not only
improve the flavor and variety of
daily meals but also furnish the
minerals and vitamins necessary
for a balanced diet.

Surely you are mistaken, Santa has

No preparation do l see for so joy

AS Saint Nicholas has always sent,
Where are the cakes, pies, oranges

Why there is not even candy for

The ginger bread horses. rabbits

No toys or presents do / find

We are either forgotten or Santa

This will be Christmas 1882 to
many, unless we help them.

Snallygaster Glides Over
Rockville; .Autoist Scales
Wall on Courthouse Lawn

Despite all reports to the con-
trary, the dreaded Snallygaster, or
winged Bovalopus, is still very
much alive. Between 8 o'clock and
dusk Sunday afternoon, the mys-
terious beast of the air, starved by
the inclement weather, darted down
over "The Rum, Rockville's color
ed settlement and frightened resi-
dents of the county seat out of
their shoes.
A motorist, turning the corner
where Montgomery avenue inter-
sects with the Frederick road, so
far lost his nerve that he drove his
automobile up over the 2-foot wall
and darted across the courthouse
lawn. Spectators, who were able to
give a coherent statement follow
ing the affair, said that large
bird, fully 6-foot in wing spread,
screamed down out of the West and
disappeared over the Run. Men,
women and children ran for cover,
while the motorist in question took
the nearest route to police head
quarters, car and all.
No damage was reported but
fingerprint expert Ted Vollten said
yesterday that he was looking for
shadow marks in the snow in the
vicinity Of Snakes Den, where it
was last reported that the Snally-
caster had it's lair.

In Liquor Search
Montgomery Jury Rejects Case
Of Former Sheriff Nicholson
Against Police

A jury in Montgomery County Cir
cult Court Monday night returned a
verdict for the defendants in the suit
filed by former Sheriff George Mich
olson, of Olney, against Chief of Po-
lice Alvie A. Monkey and Sergt. Guy
L. Jones, of the county police.
Sheriff Nicholson had asked dam
ages Of $4,000 from each defendant,
alleging that his reputation had been
damaged by raid on his property at
0lney, in search of liquor. He was
represented by F. Barnard Welsh, Of
Rockville.
Chief Monkey and Sergt. Jones con-
tended that they had not raided
Sheriff Nicholson's property, but went
to his house by mistake in looking for
the residence of his son Guy Nicholson
for which they had a search warrant.
The sons home is on the same farm.
The police found dismantled still
ID snekeh0use on the sons prop
erty, but he was later acquitted when
he contended that he used the still
merely to supply himself.
The defense held that the police
department had not revealed the visit
to the former sheriff's residence, but
that Mr.. Nicholson himself had made
it public.
