REQUEST CLEANUP

person ever held a license for the
sale of liquor and at the same time
carefully observed, or attempted to
observe, the laws under which he
operated. But we would and do de-
clare that all such persons are the
rare exceptions; that as a rule
wherever there is a liquor license in
any form there is constant and per-
sistent flouting and violation of the
law.
1--WE would also respectfully re-
mind our honored judge and mayor,
and all of our fellow citizens that
the conditions of which Judge Len
non complains and concerning which
he and the mayor enter into contro-
versy between themselves, are in ex-
act fulfillment of all that we and
other like minded people forecast
when we were seeking to prevent
the setting up of licensed liquor
places in Jul city and county, and
when these honorable and esteemed
officials, and others of like mind
with them, were pleading for the es-
tablishment of licensed places and
assuring the public that ~bootlegging
would greatly diminish if only we
could have legalized liquor.
"And now, with such conditions
prevailing as the judge points out,
since it seems the law does author.
ize somebody to revoke the licenses
of these beer ''joints," we submit
that public officials, honestly and
sincerely committed to the enforce.

CAT TAKES MOTHERLESS
CHICKENS UNDER CARE

Believe it or not, Byzantine Farm,
near Berlin, has a black and brown
house cat mothering ten little chicks
in an upper corner of the hatchery
house at the farm.
The cat removed the lid from box
of grade A chicks and took them one
at a time like kittens to corner on
the second floor of the hatchery where
they were found by one of the work.
men. She seems well contented with
her little brood as they pick at her
eyes and crawl over her. If she hap
pens to get on one and it makes a
noise, she gets up and moves.
One of the workmen said that he
had not seen the cat around the farm
for more than a month until Monday
of last week, and then he thought she
might be killing chicks and had in
tended to shoot her.
Mr.. G. A. Gale went to the farm
Tuesday afternoon and made pic
ture of the cat and her chicks. Mr..
Farlow intends to enter the cat and
chicks at the Kent and Sussex Fair
in Maryland.

SEVEN HUNDRED
SIGNED UP FOR
ELECTRIC ROUTE

The engineers have completed the
preliminary survey of the more than
700 signers in the three counties who
wish to obtain electric survey thru
the rural identification project.
The engineers are now preparing
a map and will outline tentative
power line to serve the members.
Mr.. w. P. Coppinger of the Wash
ington office of the rural electrifica-
ton administration visited the office
of County Agent C. 2. Keller last Mon
day and stated that he was well pleas
ed with the progress that had been
made and that the project will be a
mong the first considered as soon as
the necessary maps and papers can be
presented to the administration for
consideration.
He suggested that right of way
easements be obtained at once, so that
there may be no delay in stalking out
the line as soon as approval is given
in Washington to the cooperative to
go ahead with the project in the three
counties of Worcester, Wicomico and
Somerset counties.
Since the project is practically as
sured of approval there is still an
opportunity for farmers to sign men,
berships and have their farms includ-
ed in the survey.
After the lines are staked it will
be very difficult to make any changes
to include another road that was not
included on the original survey.
At this time there are 265 paid up
signers and prospects for more than
300 which should assure at least 100
miles of line.
Farmers who have not already
joined the cooperative can sign their
applications with the local commit
teemen or at the office of the county
agent.

ACTS, NOT SOFT
WORDS To DECIDE
j. s. SAYS GREW
Warning Issued to Japanese
at Luncheon Given to
Admiral Nomura

Tokyo, Dec. 10 Up Joseph
Clark Grew, outspoken American
Ambassador. told a distinguished
japanese luncheon audience today
that Americans were firmly de-
termined to fulfill their obligations
and uphold their rights and that
they would Judge Japan by its acts
not by the persuasive garb in which
its acts were clad.
Grew spoke at luncheon OF the
apan-America Society. a farewell
to Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura,
new Japanese ambassador TO the
United States.
Both Nomura and Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Matsuoka, in speeches
preceding Crews, had emphasized
the present strain in Japanese
American relations. and attributed
the strain to American misunder-
standing of Japanese policy.
Matsuoka warned Americans that
Japan would be faithful to its new
Allies. Germany and Italy, and that
its foreign policy would revolve
round the alliance
Grew thanked Matsuoka for his
"enlightening" speech.
"On some points we are all in &C
cord--a desire for peace and calm
judgment. and Admiral Nomura S

continued. "Other points are op-

tMatsuoka) of the Misrepresentation
that the interest of American peo-
pie in China is largely sentimental.
"Mr. Matsuoka lived long enough
in the United States TO know that
the American people are funda-
mentally peace minded. But they
are firmly determined on certain
matters-their obligations and
rights. He also knows that with
the American people the only thing
that counts is facts and actions
regardless Of the persuasive garb
in which they may be dressed.
