Motor cars carry the thirsty gentlemen to Littlestown and and bring them back.

The ets also claim that the increase in the county tax rate has been due to the loss of revenue derived from saloons. This revenue was said to have been $10,000 annually. The last legislature enacted a law designed to restrict the shipments of liquor into Carroll county and to curtail the treating habit at home. The wets declare that this law has fallen short of its purpose. CARLISLE FAIR $25,000 FOR HOME Woman's Will also Provides for Other Charities.

The Boosters' Club also heard reports at their meeting Tuesday evening from the committee appointed to secure plans for the erection of rows of houses.

Plans were submitted for brick dwellings with six rooms and bath, to cost S1200 each in rows of ten. The committee was continued and instructed to see what progress could be made in securing funds for the erection of one or more such blocks.
