made, the store closing at 1880 in
accordance with the law.
The dispensary has been stocked
with the best known brands of whis-
kies, gin, etc., the prices in some
being lower than bootleg prices, it
is said, and in some cases being a
trifle higher. The difference, of
course is, that the dispensary sells
only bonded stock.
Monday afternoon and evening the
buyers wore broad smiles as they
came out of the dispensary with their
purchases, proudly displaying them to
the world at large.
Louis Saltz was the first buyer of
a pint of Roses, according to report.
The liquor store has had about all
the remodeling necessary and the
shelves are being filled with the stock
the store will offer for sale. It pres
ents a neat and attractive appearance
There has been some comment or
the fact the Crisfield store adjoins
an undertaking establishment, but il
is stiIl too early to tell whether there
is any significance in this.
At any rate, business has been
started in the legal sale Of liquor and
with the recent raise in the county
tax rate before them, Somerset citi-
zens will be painting for the profits
that should go to making their burden
easier to carry.

into his eyes, as though seeking to

voice stopped suddenly, and so did the

gator, whose duty it will be to find
facts about all persons for a license.
AS there has been many complaints
about some beer places, it is predicted
that the Board will refuse quite a
number of them. Grand juries and
judges of the Circuit Court have had
lot to say about a number of places
that sold beer and were disorderly.
After the election in 1910, when the
people will vote on the matter of
county dispensaries, and should these
be adopted, the Board will have con-

proposition should lose the Board will

pointed Woodrow Wilson as manager
and Clarence T. Justice as clerk in
the Crisfield dispensary.
In Princess Anne compromise was

or less as co-managers.
Monday afternoon Of last week the
dispensary in Crisfield opened for
business and made lot of sales be-
fore closing time. The first days re-
ceipts were about $4,000.
The following morning, fourth of
July, a number of sales also were

have the licensing of hard liquor
places.
The matter of an attorney for the
Board is not clear. The States At
torney is not mentioned in the law,
and there is no mention of the en-
ployment of an attorney. So on this
the Liquor Board will consult the At
torney General of the State.
The personnel of the Liquor Board
is such that the county may well feel
safe that all its decisions will be just,
and that some Of the disorderly beer
places will be promptly closed.

couldn't control, I'm glad he's not too
much like Mike; I'm glad, awfully
glad, he's mostly Mickey.
Well, Mickey was Mike Morton, too,
if you wanted to look at it that way.
He had a lot of name Bladley Mich
ael Morton II, little too much name
for such little fellow only 2 IL years
old; no, 2 years and z months in Sep
TENDER.
| Two and half years! It seemed
like centuries. Three and half years
ago she and Mike were happy as a
couple of kids in an illusion-filled
world devoid of realities world as
gay and romantic and thoroughly en-
joyable as ones mood dictated.
Three and half years ago there were
just Linda and Mike and no Mickey.
And now there were Linda and Mick
ey-and no Mike.
Mike Morton had been free soul,
living life for the joy Of it and the
drive he could get out Of it; as free
as the air in which he loved to fly;
rebel fighting free from the letters
Of convention and responsibility and
responsibility with which his family
sought to tie him down.
If you were drawing pictures, Mike
and marriage license didn't seem to
fit in the same frame-"not the mar
rying type" is the expression. He
wasn't-until he met Linda.
No one could blame Linda for fall
ing in love with Mike Morton. Linda
couldn't blame herself. Linda's love
for him was a spontaneous and over
towering thing-the kind Of love
which burns brightly and fiercely and
steadfastly with sure, uncomfortable
flame-until the fuel ran out.
Linda might, have foreseen that
eventuality, knowing Mike. But she
didn't. When you're that much in
love you don't look past the day after
tomorrow.
Linda might have foreseen that the
ties Of domestic responsibility would
be to Mike the same sort of bugaboo
that the shackles which his family
sought to impose, upon him represent
ed. He made money but insisted they
spend it faster than it came in. He
was used to spending money; making
it was novelty.
There was very little money in Mike
Morton's till when Linda broke the
news to him. Of course she had re-
signed her stewardess job when they
were married. She had lot of time
to spend alone at home, planning the
right way to tell him.
They were seated together on the
floor in front of the huge fireplace
in the studio which cost them far
more money than they could afford.
It was foggy outside, so foggy that
you couldn't see the second street
light down the hill, much less the
lights Of the bridge and the view of
the bay they loved so much. The fire
cracked on the hearth and cast dane
ing lights in Mikes hair as his head
lay pillowed in Linda's lap and he
stretched his long legs along the thick
piled broadloom.
"No smoking, please" Linda said.
! Mike looked up at her, a funny
quizzical look, nodded in resignation
and fliped his cigarette into the
flames.
"Fasten your seat belt" she added.
"Stewardess," he squirmed in mock
nervousness, ARE we going to crash ?"
Maybe YOU are, darling" she
answered, "but I hope not. Oh, I

TALBOT COUNTY LAUDS
NEW LIQUOR BOARD

There is much speculation as to the
new Talbot Liquor Board, which has
just been appointed by the Governor.
It will have entire charge of issuing
beer licenses. All of the licenses will
be thoroughly investigated, COM
plants heard, and upon the report re-
ceived the Board will act. It also
has the power to employ an investi-

for the direct personal approach she
had to hear.
"I said," he shouted, "what cloud
did they steal you from? Angels in
uniform-fine stuff
That was in May, only four months
after Linda had completed her nursing
course and started as hostess on Trip
[9.
In June, Mike had sold both his
planes and had talked his way into
a co-pilot's job. In July, on the fourth,
they were married.
It wasn't until month after their
marriage that, Linda learned why he
had sold his planes and had gone to
work. He wanted to be near her
but that wasn't all. He was on his
own.
She hadn't thought to ask much
about the Mortons, his father and
mother. She was too deliriously hap
py to think of it 80.
Linda wasn't the wife that Bradley
Morton, of the financial canyons of
Chicago's State Street, and Mrs. Brad
ley Morton of Lake Forest and Palm
Beach, had planned for son Michael.
Nor was flying the career which had
been mapped out for him. Michael
Morton was to have been sixth or sew
enth vice-president Of the Big Bank,
no less, until papa retired and Mike
took over the board chairmanship, as
foreordained.
Mike didn't tell her much, tried to
laugh it off, but she learned then that
he had been disinherited in a s'never-
darken-my-door" scene which would
have seemed much funnier if it hadn't
really hurt. But it did.
And then something had happened
to mar their ecstatic happiness; some
thing by which she lost a large meas
ure Of the Mike with whom she had
fallen in love -.
Linda didn't hear DR.. Thorpe re-
enter the room. When he told her to
take the rest Of the day off, that her
nerves were upset, she noticed in her
compact mirror that her eyes were
red and her face a mess.
She didn't remember how the hand
kerchief got into the hand of the skin
ned knuckle. But it was wet.
Mickey was joyously surprised
when Linda came home early that
day. Mrs. Blauer was equally sur
prised, but not so joyously. She
thought-and rightly-that something
was wrong with Linda.
"You poor, dear child" the mother
,ly neighbor woman said soothingly,
wiping her spotlessly clean hands on
her apron in gesture characteristic
of habit of long years. "Now you
lie right down and I'll get you a nice
hot cup Of tea.
,"Why an ordeal like that" Mrs.
Blauer continued, after Linda has ex-
planned, "would be enough to take the
spunk out of Spartan, let alone a
slim little thing like you. Amputa-
tions on roof-tops, hum! The ideal"
AS Linda slipped into negligee
and lay down on the studio couch in
the front room which was both parlor
and dining room of her small apart
ment, Mickey came to her side, blue
eyes wide.
Funny, Linda unused, lying there on
the couch and looking deep into his
baby blue eyes, tenderly stroking his
flaxen hair, he doesn't look like Mike
outwardly, but you can see Mike Nor
ton in him.
In way, Linda thought, mentally
censuring herself for a feeling she

BRIGHT MOMENTS
m GREAT LIVES

Future events cast their shad-
ows before them. When Admiral
Richard Byrd was II years Of
age. he wrote in his diary that
sons day he would explore the
north pole. Perry beat him 10
IL. But Byrd became a pioneer
in aviation and exploration and
is the leading explorer OF south
pole regions. At the time Byrd
was graduated from the United
States naval academy at Ann
apolis, the following prediction
appeared beside his picture: Go
where he may, he cannot hope
to find the beauty pictured in
his mind. Most of the time
he wanders around with a far
away dreaming look in his eyes.
He has already lived a life
rich in experience, and he will
live a life richer still"

SEEKS ANSWER TO
NAZI-RUss ALLIANCE

Editor. The Times One OF the
characteristics Of Teutons and
Slavs was a fierce hatred for
each other The former. OBJ
sessed with Noriic superiority
complex. would view the latter
as an inferior race worthy Of
sabjagatlon and enslavement:
while the Slavs would look upon
Germans as oppressors who
threatened 10 annihilate them
nationally Their hatreds were
geographic, religious. economic.
political, etc.
The above holds good in the
old order OF things. In post
war times. the Nazi super-hatred
was specifically anti-bolshevik,
while the Russian was anti
fascist. For a German to be
pro-bolshevik would mean be-
heading; while a Russian would
risk being shot for adhering 10
fascism--a counter revolutionary
crime. Thus considerable
number OF the intelligencia were
mercilessly executed for con-
spirscy with fascist powers.
One Of the notices Of COM
munism up to this time was
United front against war and
fascLsm. No COMPROMISED The
definition and relationship of
communism to fascism may be
found in the proclamation of the
Third International of Aug,
1885. and which was considered
perfectly orthodox until last
week: "Fascism is the most
vicious enemy of the working
class and the tolers."
That the position Of fascism
TO communism was Just as bitter
may be seen from an anathema
promulgated by Hitler on Feb.
Fl, 1888: But above all stands
the cooperation of those two
great powers Japan and italy,
which like Germany have rec
ognized in bolshevism a world
menace and are therefore de-
termined to oppose the commun-
ist International in united de-
Tense"
And now these two powers,
proletarian and capitalist, who
tried not very long ago to ex-
terminate each other over little
Czechosloyakia. are close friends.
Russia is our eternal friend"
exclaims Herr Hitler. while the
swastikas are waving in Moscow.
First intimation of this came TO
the world with their trade pact,
then with non-aggression pact,
and now, believe it or not, with
de facto military pact.
All these glaring contradic-
tons require immediate harmon
izing and the tireless nszi-com-
munist apologists are busy burn
ing midnight oil trying their best
in this unexpected and laborous
task. Can they succeed?
