the Banks assts, dividends totaling
% per cent of the deposits have been
paid by the banks creditors, among
which Somerset County was one Of
the largest. Being one of the largest
creditors, the county had so far re-
ceived only part of its share of the
declared dividends an dthe receiver
owed the county the sum of $4,160 at
this time, the balance of dividends
due.
Mr.. Harry C. Dashell, attorney
for the County Commissioners, placed
this bid upon the structure at the time

the county.

the expansion of much needed office
space in several of the now overcrowd-

GRANDMOTHER AND CHILD
DEAD IN A CANNERY

The bodies OF Mrs. Tiara uOrl
about 60, and her 11-year-old grand
child, George, were discovered in the
scale house of a cannery near Liberty
Grove, where they had been living in
a makeshift home.
DR.. r. C. Dodson, Cecil county cor
oner, said they had been dead "about
two weeks and that cause of their
deaths had not been determined. There
were no signs of violence in the liv-
ing quarters DR.. Dodson said.
The woman, fully clothed, was lying
across the bed and the child was UNI
der the bed, attired in night clothes
and q bath robe.
Discovery of the deaths was made
by George Liddell, owner of the can
merry, which has not been operated for
about year.
The cannery is in nearby Liberty
Grove and Liddell went to investl-
gate after being informed by the post
mistress that she had couple of let
tiers for Mrs. Horn and that she had
not seen the woman for several days.
Liddell went to the cannery, saw
the bodies and notified officers.
Rooms in one end of the scale house
had been equipped as living quarters
and Mrs. Horn, a widow, and her
grandson had resided there for some
time, DR.. Dodson said.
Deputy Sheriff's Ralph Robinson
and Robert Boyd, who are working on
the case, said that they are working
on the theory that the woman had
been taking care of her grandson,
who was sick in bed.
ct appeared that the woman might
have died of sudden attack, perhaps
hmorrhages. It was reasoned thai
the boy might then have tried to
climb out of bed, or had fallen out OF
bed and froze to DEATH"
A daughter of the woman, who re-
ides in Media, Pa, was notified Of
the deaths of mother and son.

SOMERSET MAY GET
THE DISPENSARY SYSTEM

Under provisions of bill introduce
ed in the House of Delegates last
week by Delegate Carl Hoffman ID.
Som.), Somerset County may vote or
the question of legalized liquor sale
in 1910 and if it is favored county
dispensary system will be set up.
Delegate Hoffman's Bill which was
referred to the Somerset County Dele
cation after its introduction, would
place the liquor sales question on the
Somerset County ballot at the General
Election in 1910 by petition of forty
per cent of the total registered voters
in the County.
These petitions must be filed with
the Board of Election Supervisors thir
ty days before the date of the general
election. If found to contain at least
forty per cent of the bona fide voting
list the supervisors would be required
to put the question of legalized sale
of liquor on the county ballot.
A companion measure to the refer
endum proposal is now being prepared
and will be introduced in the House
of Delegates this week, Hoffman
stated.
The effectiveness Of this bill will
depend entirely upon favorable vote
for lgalized liquor sale. It automati-
cally sets up q county dispensary sys-
tenn similar to that in Wicomico and
Worcester and several other counties.
All net profits from liquor sales would

MAN-HUNT NOW ON
FOR JAIL BREAKERS

A three-state man hunt got under
way for two men who hacksawed their
way out of the Kent County Jail dur
ing the night.
Police in Maryland, Delaware and
Pennsylvania were furnished with de-
scriptions of the fugitives.
Sheriff Robert E. Lee said the men,
lodged in a second floor corridor with
a string around a bottle and lowered
it through an open window to a con-
federate who put the hack saw blades
in the bottle.
The bottle with some blades in it
was. found in the corridor by Jail Of
ficials.
The escape discovered at about 10
o'clock at night when the sheriff and
his deputy went to put the prisoners
in their individual cells.
The men had filed through q sec
ond story window and descended by
means of a rope made Of clothing.
While had just finished an 1S-month
term in the New Castle Workhouse,
near Wilmington, on q charge Of
breaking and entering. He was re-
leased January 20, and turned over to
Maryland authorities.
Last week, Sheriff Lee frustrated
what he believed to be a planned pris-
on break. He discovered large hole
picked in the wall n a room on the
scond floor whess many of the pris-
oners congregate for meals and re-
creation.
The sheriff said be believed Robin
son was Gin on" the attempted break

counts. Discouraging as this trend is,
l think every young family must
forget interest and use bank ac-
counts just as young people always
have. Banks are the simplest places
in which to store your money. If we
have initiation, you will get the same
number of dollars out Of the bank
that you put into it. If we have in
flation, the dollars you dig up in the
backyard will buy no more than the
phony ones that are drawn out of
the bank.
However, there is no need to put
all your cash in savings bank.
There are four other possibilities
where the interest rate is better and
safety should be as good. First are
the federal savings and loan assOcia-
tions They are paying three per cent
in many instances. A second posi-
bility is a postal savings account,
which pays two per cent. Then there
are the "Baby Bonds" issued by the
u. S. Treasury. They can be pur-
chased in any amount from $25 up,
but no one can buy more than
$4,000 par value in any one year.
You pay $75 for a 500 bond. You
get no interest" each year; but col
lect it all at once at the end of ten
years. It figures 2.9 per cent an
nually. These bonds can be "cash-
ed in' at any time on go days notice.

aforementioned places as it can
be under present circumstances. In
flation or reputation may come. If
so, my guess is that it will wipe out
25 per cent to rs per cent of the
purchasing value of your cash or
savings account. No one, of course,
knows just how. much EepudiatiOn
or initiation we will hove or how
it will come about. Savings accounts,
"Baby Bonds, and even life in
surance would suffer; but neverthe-
less, young people should take this
risk.
When buying life insurance, my
advice to young husbands and faith
ers is to buy straight life insurance
with no "frills". It is the cheapest
form of protection and, after all,
you buy. insurance for projection,
not for an investment. Massachusetts
and New York have savings bank
policies which are considerably
cheaper than private company
policies. The competition of this
savings bank insurance is not en-
tirely fair to the private companies
for the tax status is not compara-
BILE. Yet, it shows the savings posi-
BILE when high sales commissions,
plush offices, unnecessary overhead,
and wasteful distribution costs are
eliminated.
New Houses no Bargain
After a good start on several small
savings accounts or Baby Bonds, and
plenty of life insurance, the next
step for our young family is home.
No one building a house with union
labor is getting any bargain today.
Certain material prices are almost
as high as wage rates. However,
interest rates are low and offset the
other factors to some extent. While
the wages of building labor are as
high, or higher, than in 1929, the
wages of building money (interest)
are only half as high. So I am still
in favor of young couple getting
their home started as soon as posi-
BILE.
Pick out a good centrally located
neighborhood in or near a college
town, if possible. Build a simple,
compact, well-insulated home that
will stand up through the years.
Avoid the type of home that is Gin
style" at the moment. 1t is only a

good protection against initiation as
