Anti-Saloon League Stands for Publicity | About a month ago it was announced by the Frederick County Anti-Saloon League that the League would publish the names of all persons signing applica tions for liquor licenses in the county, and space was conlracted for in the Fred erick papers for this purpose. The liquor people are objecting seriously to such a procedure, and intend to go to the limit to stop the league from publishing the names of the signers. Various church organizations are supporting the League in its endeavor, and the matter no doubt whl become very interesting. The law requires that all applications for saloon licenses must be filed by April Ist and are left on file until April 20 in which time those who have objections may file their complaints. The League claims the public has the right to know who signs applications for liquor licenses, but so far we have not seen any reason given by the liquor peo pie why they do not wish the names made public. In a recent issue of the Westminster Times, the editor commends the Good Templar lodge of Mt. Airy for deciding to publish the names of persons signing j liquor applications in that town. He al- ; so says, “we have no quairel with the I man who signs a saloon license applica tion. Of course we do not think it is the right thing to do. It costs the county far more in the ruin it works on its man- j hood than it pays into its treasury in li cense fees. * * * “A saloon license application is a pub-, lie document. It is tiled among the offi-! •ial records of the county. It can he j seen by anybodv. Why must it be kept hid? * * It Mr. A. and Mr. B. and the rest of the alphabet want to open a road ' iheir names arc published and they do not object. If the same persons want to men a saloon, wqy should they not say ■in to the public over their own signilure n the public press in the same way. Vh>? Think it over!" Malimla, Neb., Feb. (i, 1913. "lieion Publishing Co., Thurmont, Md. Dear Sirs: You will pardon me for not re newing sooner as 1 have not been to town for going on two months and 1 just re ceived a one dollar bill the other day and | I send the same to you for to renew my paper for another year. Well Mr. Editor everything is all O. K. with us in old Nebraska. We have had good crops of all kinds and pretty good prices. We have nothing to com- | plain of as we are both in the enjoyment j of good health and spirits. Our winter I has been mild so far and no time has it been very cold except about one week that it went much below zero. Our crops have been very good on the dry land farming districts. We are living about seven miles above the Government canal, so we cannot get any water to ir- i rigate our land. We are raising good crops without irrigation and we don’t have any water rent to pay Uncle Sam. Wheat went 20 and 25 bushels per acre, oats 25 and 40, corn 20 to 50. This is on dry land farming as we call it in this country. We are getting to the front alright in Nebraska. If you see lit you may publish what 1 have written and in conclusion I would say that Nebraska is for Wilson but 1 vote prohibition, hut perhaps some of j my Maryland friends will not agree with I me on that subject so here’s good luck to | you and to all of my old chumbs. G. B. G. | The P.MVnI Sx\ indie. For some time agents or persons rep resenting themselves as such, have been in this community olfering fur sale one, two or three magazines for the sum of 49 cents. The scheme is a swindle and persons here and elsewhere in this coun ty have handed over the 49 cents and arc | yet looking for the magazines. During ! the day of the Farmers’ Institute at this place last month, three magazines were offered at our home for 4S cents pro ha- j Ply a special inducement. Just this week j another caller offered three magazines for the remainder of the year to us for simply paying the postage. If you pay over the postage you wonder the remain der of the year why your magazines don’t come. If you want magazines, send your money to the publisher or go to your local representative. Engine Derailed. On Tuesday of this week while engine j No. 724, one of the largest on the West ern Maryland road, was doing some shif't j ing of cars at this place, the driving ] wheels mounted the rail and she went oil' on to the lies. Before the engineer could stop the wheels one side went onto the ground. Due to quick action on the part of men working where the accident oc curred, the engine was kept from going on her side. A number of rails were broken, but the track was not otherwise injured. The tender did not leave the I rails. Traffic was continued on the sid-1 ing. Late in the afternoon the wrecking 1 | crew put the engine on the rails. I Another wreck occurred Tuesday night! 1 at Cranberry, several mileseast of West j minster. The track was blocked several hours and trains and mails delayed. Old Resident Dead. , | Mrs. William B.

Week February 24th, Cohan & Harris offer a new satirical comedy, THE CHILDREN OF TODAY, by Clara l.ipman and Samuel Shipman, with representative company. “Children of To-day,” a play which will apneal to all classes and to every parent, is a modern satirical comedy full of fun and good sense, entertaining from I start to finish. It is by Clara Lipman . and Samuel Shipman and produced under the auspices of Cohan and Harris. The plot is merry and of absorbing in terest, involving the question of authori ty between a widow and her two children. , The young people through over-indulgence by their doting mother, have gradually become so self opinionated that they not only think themselves capable of manag ing their own affairs but dictate to their i parent. They get into company question ed by the mother who having lost her influence appeals to an old friend who 1 settles things in short order using good judgment, marrying the mother andcon | vincing the young people of their mis . take. The play is well written and full of ! absorbing interest and plenty of fun, is splendidly produced and interpreted by an exceptional company. Messrs Cohan and Harris tave left nothing undone to make the performance j one of excellence as regards cast, sur ! roundings and scenic environment. Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
