The purple martin, one of our interesting and very useful species of migratory birds, is with us again, wherever suitable nesting bo.xes ate provided for them. When it is undetslood that the food of the purple martin is all taken on the wing, and consists very largely of such insects classed as pests especially annoying to man and his domestic animals, the advantigeof a i a nesting colony of them on the farm will need no argument. The itumbei of mosquitoes, moths, (lies, and like insects consumed by one pair of these birds while raising their young will run fai into the millions, no doubt.

The fact that the pniple martins to prefer nesting siles near ihe homes of man should, aside from their gieat economic value, endeai them to us. it is said that uhen the English tirst landed in Virginia they found the martins nesting in gourds provided for llicm by lite Indians, and at this day in several Southern States two or three of these gourds, each occupied by a pair of nesting martins every spring, may be teen near almost every negio cabin.

John II. Gatey, who lives on Franklin street, opposite School, several squares fiom Captain Dean's home, heard groans from somewhere outside ol his house. When fully auake he looked from his window and saw a fotm lying in the stiect, near the i opposite the school building.

The authorities expect to surface Denton's Main stieel, from the foot of the hill, at the end of Ihe Causeway road, to the railroad crossing at the e.xlreme cast end at an average width to Eighth street of about twenty-four feet, during this spring and in the early summer.

From Eighth slieel east the solid surface will be only fourteen feet wide. The distance covered will be 4200 feel. The outlay will be heavy but in Ihe expense ihe citizens mostly inteiesled, the town, the county and Slate uil! each bear a part. It one of ihe most hardly used thoroughfares in the county, and, as at piesent, it is almost constantly in bad condition. Eveiy citizen of the town and the county will welcome the improvement at the county seat, which has not kept pace with Easton, Centreville, Chestertown, and other progressive towns on the Eastern Shore.

The Commissioners of the town will find it necessary, after Ihe street's solid surface is put on, to really enforce a new speed limit in town. The noise of trotting horses on such a street cannot be great is the sound. Unless such an ordinance is enforced, as is done in the cities and all other towns with such streets, the clatter will be unbearable. Call Phone Numbers. An official of the C.

P. Telephone Company said recently: "Willi the large operating force thai we have al the present time it would be practically an impossibility for each operator to memorize the telephone number of each subscriber, and further lo keep in mind the many other requirements of Ihe service. A ide from this there are times when matrimony, illness, vacations and other contingencies make it necessary lo change the personnel of our operating force, temporarily at least. Since it is impossible for an operator to make a connection without knowing the telephone number we earnestly ask the public in general lo co-operaie in Hie matter in giving their calls by telephone number and in this nay help us lo give a belter grade of service. In those cases, ol course, whete it is impossible for the subscriber to furnish Ihe telephone number we will make proper provisions to see thai the information is supplied willi as little delay as possible."

Hefore 1897 no telephone message had been transmitted from one city to another, and the idea that the sound of the human voice could be carried over a wire forty or fifty miles in length was not generally entertained. 11 was, however, firmly fixed in the minds of Ihe men who had recently fotined tbe bell company, and they even then predicted that the time would come when the country would be covered by a harmonious network of telephone wires, and the distance over which conversation could be carried ou would be measured by hundreds and thousands of miles, bringing the entire population in communication through a single universal system. Our business men generally have almost daily use for a longdistance phone when one is convenient.

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived is not wise.

And the Loul spoke unto Aaion saying: Do not drinl; wine nor strong thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die. It shall be a statute forever tluoughout your generations. It is good to neither eat llesli nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby Ihy brother stiiinbleth.

Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 want Mr. Wimllc to please tell me how a liquor drinker can abstain from all appearance of evil when be indulges in a thing that continually leads people into evil. Aud how can liquor-seller': abstain from all appearance of evil when they are engaged in a business lhat leads millions people into evil? The Bible says: Be not among wine bibbers.

1 want Mr. Windle lo please tell me how a liquor-seller can help breaking that commandment when he is engaged in a business that makes wine bibbers? The Bible says: Look not thon upon the wine when it is red (fermented). I want Mr. Windle to tell me how a liquor-seller can help breaking that commandment when he sells wine that is red (fermented). The Bible says not to keep company with drunkards.

I want Mr. Windle to tell me how a liquor-seller can help breaking that 1 when he is making drunkards. The Bible says: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. I want Mr. Windle to tell me how a liquor-seller can love his neighbor as himself when he is engaged in a business that ruins his neighbor's boys and sends his neighbor or somebody's neighbor down to everlasting ruin.

Lead us not into temptation. 1 want Mr. Windle to tell me how a liquor-seller can help breaking that commandment when he is engaged in a business that leads millions of people into temptation. The Bible says: Deliver us from evil. I want Mr.

Windle lo tell me how a liquor-seller can help breaking that commandment when he is engaged in a business that continually leads people inlo evil. The Bible says: No drunkard shall inherit Ihe kingdom of God. If it is an aulul bad thing to be a ard, how can it be a good thing to engage in a business that continually makes drunkards? I want Mr. Windle to answer the above question or slop asking Billy Sunday to debate Ihe liquor question with him. In the last nine weeks I have asked Mr.

Windle to debate Ilie liquor question with me live different times, but he lias never taken me up. TILGIIMAN HARVEY. Btirrsville, April 17, 1916. Narcotic Law Effective. A lilile more than a year lias passed since the Harrison Anti-Narcotic law went into effect, and it is now possible in some degree lo make an accounting of it, says Haskin.

There is no doubt but what it has been effective, and it is also certain that its success has been won at a terrific expense in pain and crime. Thousands of persons have suffered, and some of them have died, as a result of being deprived of drugs lo which they had been addicted for years. A whole system of smuggling has been built up to supply their insistent demand, and with this system the Federal officers have waged a dramatic battle. The Harrison law has frequently been referred to as the most comprehensive and effective law yet devised for minimizing the traffic in drugs. It marks an epoch in the history of anti-narcotic legislation because of the fact that it provides a new and original method oi controlling the manufacture, Fale and use of prescribed drugs from the time they imported until they reach the consumer.

It requires everyone who bandies narcotics to register, pay a tax and keep careful record of all transactions ou forms sold by the government. Being itself not a regulatory nor a police measure, lite Federal law can not be expected to take place of the Slate laws designed to restrict the sale and use of habit-forming drugs. Legislators, recognizing the limitations of the Federal law, have during the past year endeavored to elaborate on Ihe provisions of this law by the enactment ol State laws which would serve to control some of the many features of drug abuse not touched by the Federal law.
