s On Read;nsr BooIxs

Within certain limits spontaneity
is the best of all principles In read
ing. Provided that the proper super
vision has been exercised to eliminate
the unfit and trivial, boys and girls
might as well be left to shift for
themselves in libraries and cata-
logues. The thing that particularly
attracts them is the thing they should
read. Girls are often forced to
waste time on insipid and colorless
stories, whereas it is books of healthy
adventure, travel, description and
biography that they crave for, envy
ing the happier brothers and boy
friends who have access to such
stimulating works.
In the matter of classics greater
discrimination should be exercised.
Some standard books should be ex-
cluded from school reading because
they are too profound and vital to be
sacrificed" in the name of culture.
They can dispense with compulsion
when the readers are fit to enjoy
them. The fear that they might new
er be read at all is not wholly ground
less, perhaps, as things are, but the
college professors, the critics and the
other literary guides and friends OF
young readers can do much to re-
move that danger.
However, the great fact remains
that all great literature is good for
all ages and meant for all. The same
book will yield a certain kind and
amount of pleasure at 1S and diff
ferent degree of pleasure at 40 or
later. There are men who read Don
Qufxote'' every five or ten years or
so, and they never find it ''unsuita-
ble.'' The same is. true of Shake
speare, of Milton, Of the great his
tories and biographies. Tt is, of
course, prominently true of the
Bible. Indeed, the literature that is
limited to this or that age is of the
special and technical kind that scarce
1y deserves to be classed as litera-
ture. And it is the reading and re-
reading, the assimilation and enjoy
ment of the best in literature that
should be fostered among men and
women of all ages and environments.

GROWERS WANT CONTROL,

College Park (Special}--Plans to
take the inspection OF tobacco out
of politics were discussed by the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, in session at the Maryland Ag-
rfcultural College. 1t was the an
nual meeting of the young associa-
ton, and the chief business transact
ed was the resolution to appoint
legislative committee, which will
draft some general plan to change
the method of State inspection. In
addition, the following officers were
chosen:
President-F. Snowden Hill, of
Prince Georges County.
Secretary - Franklin Weems, of
Anne Arundel County.
Treasurer-William A. Walker, of
Frederick County, the retiring presi-
dent.
Directors-F. w. Hill and R.
Hugh Perrie, of Prince Georges
County; J. w. Frere and James M.
Bowling, of Charles County; George
T. Hutchinson and DR.. 2. R. Morgan.
of st. Mary's County; John H. Drury
and DR.. Philip Briscoe, of Calvert
County; Beale Worthington and Dr.
A. H. Perrie, of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty, and j. j. Brandenberg and Thorn
as A. Watkins, representing the up
per counties of the State that grow
tobacco.
The changes in the State inspec-
ton were brought before the meet
ing, of which Mr.. F. Snowden Hill
was chairman and Mr.. Frank o.
Smith secretary, by resolution in
troduced by Mr.. Franklin Weems,
the treasurer and one of the most
active members. Mr.. Weems start
ed the discussion by his plan to have
the State warehouses conducted by
a commission, instead of chief in
spector. This brought out hot de-
bate. DR.. Richard s. Hill, State to-
bacco agent, who works from the
Agricultural College and not the as
ISOLATION, of which he is member,
however, made a substitute motion.
This provided for legislative COM
mittee, which will draft some plan
of campaign and report to the direc-
tors during the Christmas holidays.
Placing control of the warehouses
with the growers was another plan
outlined for the legislative COM
mittee.
The gathering was not so largely
attended as others, but was repre-
sentative, and in the amount of work
accomplished far surpassed any of
the other meetings of the organiza-
ton, which is seeking to control the
chief crop of the Southern part of
the State. The most important
change in the association was the
increase of the directory from to
IL men. Each of the Southern coun-
ties get another representative.
While the election of officers must
be ratified by vote of the full num-
Der of directors, there will be no
change from those announced.

II Acknowledge The Corn"

II acknowledge the corn mean
ing II give in "I retract," was a
flash of humor lighting up serious
discussion in Congress during the
early year of 1928. Andrew Stewart,
indulging in oratorical license, made
the picturesque statement that Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana sent their hay
stacks, cornfields and fodder to New
York and Philadelphia for sale. But
Wickliffe. a strict constructionist in
words, refuted the charge.
what do you send. them" asked
Stewart, with a shrug in his voice.
Horses, mules, cattle, hogs" was
the reply.
"You feed 500 worth of hay to a
horse,' retorted Stewart, and we can
fancy the triumphant slyness of the
twinkle in his eyes, "and 80 bushels
of corn to fatten a hog. You simply
put that 80 bushels into shape Of
hog and make it walk off to the
Eastern market"
A saving grace of humor come to
Wickliffe. and in an instant he was
on his feet.
''Mr. Speaker" he cried, II ac-
knowledge the corn!''

Rockville Especial representa-
tives of the various farmers clubs
and other similar organizations OF
Montgomery County met in the opera
house here and launched a movement
having for its object radical changes
in the road system of the county.
The organizations represented 1nclud-
ed the Enterprise, Montgomery, White

Montgomery Club, presided, and ).
C. Christopher, of the Goshen CUB,
acted as secretary. Harry l.. He1s-

Resolutions were unanimously
adopted advocating changes In legls-
lation to permit the judges OF the
Circuit Court for the county to SEN
tence petty criminals to county road
and quarry work, and provide Tor
requisition upon the State peniten-
tiary and the house of correction
The resolutions urged that the county
should issue bonds to provide ltselL
with sufficient equipment for road
building; and that the entire conLrol
of the county road system should rest
in board of three road commission
ers, to be appointed by the COVER
nor, together with an engineer and
supervisor.
1t was decided to issue a call for
a mass meeting Of the taxpayers OF
the county to be held at Rockville
on December II, when the subjects
considered will be submitted for final
action, at which time a committee
will be named to confer with State

The Modern Country Store.

1.-THE country storekeeper has few
er bad accounts on his books than he
carried some years ago." said James
A. Chambers, of Coffey, Mo. This
is because he sells at smaller profit
and on cash basis. 1t was not SO
many years ago that we had to carry
accounts for some pretty well-to-do
farmer for six months at time.
1.-THE reason for this changed con-
dition is largely due to the high
prices and large demand for poultry
and eggs. l pay out to one farmer
for poultry and eggs enough money
every month to pay all his grocery
bills and many other current expen-
SEES. Another farmer receives as
much as $50 month from me for
chickens and eggs. The farmers are
raising more chickens now than ever
before, and they are getting the high
est prices for them. The poultry
products of the ordinary farm now
amount to about as much in value as
the live stock or any other kind Of
farm product.-Washing Post.

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real ltrength and the foundation
of solid flesh is now NJ longer as
prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.

she thought she would eat Grape
Nuts too.
"Now she IL fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of

indigestion for years: was a heavy

laborer who was found dead in a
blacksmith shop on the farm conduct

fact that the man died of exposure.
Tuesday evening he left the Lucas
home and started toward the nearby
farm of Louis Johnson. with whom
he made his home, and it as supposed
he stopped in the shop to escape the
stormy weather and fell asleep
