Gan estimate of present worth of

$65, 300.
"This, together with the bank bal
ance reported by the Treasurer and
only $1,000 Indebtedness on the water
wagon would indicate a very satisfac-
tory financial condition.
"May say in closing that it has
been an honor to have served as
your Chief and a pleasure to have
served with you. I will endeavor
to continue to serve in any capacity
desired by you.

w. VALENTINE WILSON, Chief"

WE DEPLORE WAR as much as
Congressman Ludlow. We also believe
in mandates to the people whenever
feasible and wherever proper. But we
do think that the Ludlow amendment
died noble death. Congress and our
administrative powers should not be
coerced in settling momentous ques-
tions which may need speedy and
emergency action. It is a serious
thing to declare war. 1t might also
prove serious, if not fatal, were we to
await a mandate from the electorate
when some foreign nation threatened
our very existence. The real problem is
to work to remove the causes of war.
If we are to maintain our dignity as
a nation, if we are to trust our gov
eminent to the duly constituted au-
thorities, then we must give Congress
a free rein in making decisions-a job
delegated it by the Constitution.

AS WE SEE IT
By MONTCO

THOUSANDS IN MARYLAND will
dance on Saturday, January 20, when
the Presidents Birthday Parties will
be celebrated in practically every COM
munity of the State. The Presidents
Birthday is January 80, but that date
falls on Sunday. All of the money de-
rived from these parties will be used
to fight infantile paralysis. Senator
George L. Radcliffe, chairman of the
parties committee in Maryland,
stressed the point that the celebra-
tions are in no manner to be con-
sidered political, or partisan, but are
purely means of raising funds to
combat the dread disease.

was won by Ignatius Blount. The
magnificent sum of $40 was the
premium. Shades of buciwheat

WE HAVE MAINTAINED and
still maintain that pinball, slot and
claw machines are difficult to classify
when it comes to determining which
type of machine is legal under the
present law. We do not believe that
one person out of a hundred feels sure
of his ground in the matter. 1t seems
that with certain attachment, skill
is introduced in the playing of the
contrivances. All and sundry are
nickel-catchers. We do know, on the
other hand, that many business men
pay their rents in these times of re-
cession with the income derived from
slot machines and punch boards. We
Americans are looked upon as queer
people when it comes to gambling.
Europeans fail to see the difference
between legalized gambling, bookies,
pin-ball machines and raffles.

WHILE WE ARE on the subject,
what about the removal of the street
car tracks? Will the State Roads
Commission ever get them out? The

ingly wiggled out of the situation.
The people of Rockville have been
more or less apathetic about getting
these dangerous and unsightly rails
out of the way. Why don't we all
sit down and write letter to DR..
Homer E. Tabler expressing de-
mand for the immediate removal Of
the tracks? It might help and it
would at least keep US from going

Tobacco Store Stocks
Largest Variety in u. S

Bricelyn-Bricelyn prides herself in
having the greatest tobacco store in the
entire state, and we doubt if there is
another one like it in the United States.
o. c. Miner is the proprietor. Born in
Kentucky, the heart of the tobacco in
dustry, Mr.. Miner has had a good
background for his hobby, which he
started only four years ago. Last fall
Mr.. Miner took trip to his old home
and at the same time went through 10
states locking for new brands of to-
bacco. In Chicago the best tobacco
store he found carried 101 brands Of
tobacco, and one in Memphis had 81
brands. From this trip Mr.. Miner
brought back with him an additional
selection Of 158 southern brands. He
has now in his store $50 different
brands of which 139 brands are cigar
cites and 10 brands of Dip snuff, pow
dered, as used in the extreme south.
He has tobacco in his store that re-
tails at s1.40 for 81 ounces and Gig
arettes as high as eighty cents for ten.
He has a book containing a list Of
every tobacco manufacturer, leaf dealer
and cigar store in the United States.
Customers go to this unique store in
Bricelyn from great distances and Mr..
Mineer intends to continue his hobby
until he is sure that he has the best
tobacco store in the world

Unemployed Must Report
Each Week to Get Checks

JobleSS workers receiving unemploy-
ment must report their continued I'M
employment each week to maintain
their eligibility for the receipt of bene-
fits.
This basic requirement Of me un-
employed compensation law is stressed
by Frank T. Starkey, Industrial Com
missioner, in charge of the state UNI
employment compensation division
mo benefits can be paid for any
week of unemployment unless the
claimant has properly reported his con-
tinued unemployment for that week
thereby maintaining his eligibility, y
Commissioner Starkey stated. Most
claimants are aware of this simple re-
quirement of the law, but those who
are not and complain when their bene-
fit checks cease to come cause needless
work on the part of our adjustment de-
partment.
'@The amount of benefits determined
to be due to an unemployed worker car
be paid him only if he maintains his
eligibility. Those claimants who fail
to report their continued unemployment
are assumed to have ceased to expect
benefits and the issuance Of checks te
them is stopped until they again es.
tablish their eligibility"
Mr.. Starkey explained that unused
benefits remaining to the credit of &
claimant when he returns to work re.
main TO his credit for period of ap.
proximately two years from the tim.
they were established.
