Mills, Shoe Ca» consumers really unite, benefiting themselves by joint action? In the United States there has been a tendency to answer such a question negatively. While the theoretical value of 3(uch things as consumers' leagues and middle class unions has been conceded, there has been a general inclination toward the notion that all such combinations are practically of only slight and temporary effect. Whether the overall clubs will encourage more optimistic thinking about things of this sort it is yet too early to say. They certainly show encouraging signs of doing so. Still at best, overall clubs are transient. As an indication of the GUNNING SEASON OPENS Reports Received State That Wild Fowl Is In Abundance In County. Gu**ing li«enses have been selling in Baltimore county "like hot cakes;," and a.« * result of the eleventh hour rush th* Clerk's Office at Towson has bees « busy place this week. Monday ushered in the open season on wild fowl. If you are a hunter or interested in game protection and propagation, you will bear in mind that wild fowl tan only be killed between November 1 and January 31. Wild fowl includes ducks, geese, brant, jacksaiips and crow bills. Another thing which is most important to the hunter is this: All persons desiring; to hunt in this State must have a hunter's license in possession, and & new law passed by the General Assembly of 1920, requires every person to wear an arm tag, which is furnished free with the license, and this tag must be worn on the left arm between elbow and shoulder in open view to the public. Failure to comply with this law means prosecution, and to avoid this embarrassment the State Game Department takes this means of notifying sportsmen to be sure they are equipped with the necessary lieense and arm tag before venturing to hunt in this State. A good sportsman will never neglect to have his license and arm tag and we are looking for a banner season this year, due to the fact that we~ are certain the sportsmen realize the Game Department is doing all within its power to replenish the covers with new stock and furnish them with good hunting. Numerous, reports received by this Department makes it certain that wild fowl this year is greater in abundance than ever heretofore. There will be plenty of sport for everyone; however, no person should try to take advantage of this elean and wholesome sport by (Continued on Page 8, Col. 3,) consumer's facility in organizing they are only superficial and temporary. A present movement in the United States that is much more to the point, and therefore the better worth watching, is the quieter but more pervasive effort to establish cooperative stores. Possibly this sort of activity has attracted lesp than its merited attention in this country, because cooperative movements are no novelty. Almost everyody has had Vsome experience with a cooperative society. Many have counted such experience to their cost, rather than to their enefit. Cooperative societies, of a sort, are an old story, eve nin the United States. Yet there is. nevertheless, a new sort of cooperative activity in the country, a sort that is winning success. Out of the old failures it is building a way to new prosperity. It is beignning, apparently, to realize some, at least, of the cooperative ideals. Those who are active in this movement t?ll, us that there are almost 4000 cooperative stores in the country today where onlv 500 existed two years ago. They tell us, too, that new s/tores of this kind are being established at the rate of a hundred a month. They explain this almost incredible increase by telling us that the cooperative stores are the means of cutting down the cost of living for all who patronize them. Because the stores) do this, they are attracting attention, winning patronage. People who find it none too easy, in these days, to gather the dimes that go to pay for loaves of bread, are becoming interested in stores that en- (Continued on Page 7, Col. 4,) HIS ADMINISTRATION FACES AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK TEACHERS WANT INCREASE Petition Filed With School Board Asks For More Compensation.

Benson that he will have in the near future a limited number of copies of the cloth bound memorial book containing eulogies on the life and character of the late J. Fred C. Talbott for distribution. Those desiring a copy of this publication should get into communication with Mr. Benson at once. "Rainy Day" Philosophy*" "For this information you don't have to pay, It should keep you in fine feather; Lay something by for a rainy day, And you'll always have dry weather." —Luke McLuke in Cincinnati EnQiiirer. There are so many better reasons for saving money that we do not like to urge people %to save for the proverbial "rainy day." However, it is well enough to be prepared for any contingency that may arise, and ready money is usually a great help in time of trouble. If in your own particular case you can find no other reasons for saving, then by all means save for a "rainy day." And may you "awaysi have dry weather!"

LOCAL DEMOCRATS TAKE DEFEAT GOOD-NATUREDLY ON "THE MORNING AFTER" As Usual There Were Some Bets To Be Paid—Bit Early To Predict' What Effect Tuesday's Electioo Will Have Upon Future Operations, But Democrats Do Not Appear To Be Dismayed. "For once in my lifetime everything I voted for went through!" exclaimed a veteran county Republican at the Courthouse on Wednesday morning, as he scanned the columns of a morning paper, which told the story of the election in figures that could not lie. And then he chuckled right out loud! He had voted "straight" for all the G-. O. P. candidates, and "agin" the charter, and his vote was literally "swallowed up in victory." O'ne of the pleasing things about the "morning after" was the good-natured way in which the Democrats, long used to victory, took their dereat, and the smiles that the Republicans wore—r-smiles that simply wouldn't wear off. As usual, there were some b ts to be paid. A prominent young member of the Towson bar, whose name we can not in good conscience divulge, paid his bet like a true sportsman yesterday at noon when he entertained a coterie of hisi friends at luncheon at the Hotel Towson. Another had promised his wife a trip to the "bowery" and he paid. State's Attorney Jenifer who, as chairman of the Democratic Speaker's Bureau, had "stumped" every nook and corner of the county, dryly observed that the Republicans probably would have won "even if we hadn't made so many speeches." And then he joined heartily in the laughter Which his witticism had provoked. And so it happened, all along the line. Sheriff Mahle came in for aome good-natured "joshing." He had predicted, with more than ordinary assurance, that Congressman Benson would lead the ticket in the county, but he ate his part of the "crow" without a murmur. While admitting that he was a poor prophet, he asserted he was still a good Democrat, and predicted that Congressman Benson would "come back" in good time. Quite a number of local Democrats gathered at headquarters in the Masonic Temple, over The Jeffersonian office Tuesday night to hear the glad returns, but along toward midnight they began to stretch and yawn and most of them decided to take to their beds and sleep it off. It was a dismal sort of a night anyway! It is said, somewhere in the never-to-be-forgotten literature of the ages, that a drowning man will grasp for straws. So it was with the faithful Democratic band in the temple. As they realized they wei*e . going down they grasped for straws, and lo, they found one! It was the mortal remains of the proposed county charter, and they clung on to it as their last and (Continued on Page 6—Col 4) Drawn f.-om phots <£>"by Hjrria & tying CONFIRMED CLASSES Bishop John G.

SHORE ROBBED OF L $70,000 Worth OF "Fire Water" Alleged To Have Been Taken By Three Men. of the attack, in which automatla pis-in the lower end of Baltimore county, and a man named Edward H. Nicholson; who claimed ti be a deputy sheriff of the county, were arrested late Wednesday night following an investigation by the county po'ice of the alleged theft at pistol points of $70,-000 worth of liquor from a shore near Back River. William Koontz and Samuel Tanner were the two soldiers implicated in the affair. Nicholson's' alleged confession was the police, admitted their connection with the affair. One of the mem, it is said, told the authorities the details if the attack, in which automatic pistols and an army truck are said to have been employed, and informed them were the liquor had been hidden. Nicholson's alleged confession ¦ was obtained following Tanner's statement. Nicholson broke down and pleaded for mercy, police said. The whiskey was stolen from a shore said to be owned by H»nry Bletzer, prize-fight promoter. Telephone wires were, cut to prevent communciation. Following the theft came searches of houses in the neighborhood by armed parties, apparently in an effort to recover the liquor. Nicholson's home in Back River was one of those searched, a band of men, armed, forced Mrs. Nicholson Monday night to allow them to ern through the house and adjoining buildings. i a? is what the police said was told them by Tanner: "We knew Bletzer and his associates (Continued on Page 4, Col. 4) That there is no conceivable way for Warren G.

VICTIM OF BRUTAL ASSAULT Young Man Shot By New Acquaintance Near Owinys Mills. Going upon the invitation of an acquaintance to call upon a young woman, Charles Baugher, 24 years old, of Baltimore City, was shot by his unknown friend. The shooting occu-red on th Reisterstown road, near Owings Mills, Wednesday night. About 8 o'clock Baugher met his new friend in a restaurant. Tne friend said that he knew a couple of nice girls who lived in the country and he asked Baugher to go with him to pay a social call. Baugher consented. The two had alighted from the Ow-inga Mills car on the Reisterstown road just before the edge of the hamlet was reached. A dark lane at one side of the road was supposed to lead to the home of the young women. Baugher said he stepped in front along this road because it was narrow, when suddenly he heard a sharp report directly in back of his head and a stinging sensation as a bullet struck him. In quick succession three other shots were fired at close range. At the first shot Baugher started to turn around, and the fourth bul'et lodged n his right temple, a hair line from a (Continued on Page 4, Col, 5) GREEN IS ACQUITTED Fletcher Green, a well known farmer of Baldwin, this county, was acquitted in the Circuit Court at Towson on Thursday of the shooting of Robert Minor, the tenant on his farm. Green claimed that he fired at Minor in self defense, A A. Piper and C. Gus Grason, attorneys, represented the defendant. The election is over and the >itizens of Baltimore county, as in other sections of the United States, are g'ad that it is. Peeling runs high during a national campaign, but the moment the decision of the electorate is announced the thought in the pub-lie mind is that of p'easure in that the event has passed. The spirit of America is that the voice of the majority must ru'e in th enation's affairs. From this traditional standpoint, there must be no departure now. Figures associated with the election results will be studied and conclusions reached . in the course of time. There -will soon be a return to our cusomary pursuits as a people. The period of congraulations over a victory will merge presently with the prompt obedience of our citizenship to the mandate of the men and women who this year formed the majority.
