To Try Case On Merit.

Chief Judge Hammond Urner last Mon
day heard the petition of Cameron F.
Ohler, of Emmtsburg, to have stricken
from the records Judgment for $lOC
and interest, obtained against him and
Edward H. Rowe and wife by the Citi-
zens Savings Bank. of Thurmont. The
judgement was given upon copy of a
note lost, and Mr.. Cameron claims a mis-
take has been made, in that Edward
Rowe was the maker of the note and he
was the surety. After hearing some
testimony in the case Judge Urner de-
cided that the case was one for trial, and
ordered the case placed upon the docket
for trial upon it's merits at the Septem-
Der term of court. C.. c. Waters repre-
scented the bank and former John c: Mot
ter represented Ohler.

Paving Bull Moose Debts.

After hard days work and while yet
working in the garden at our home, two
gentlemen in Ford auto stopped at our
home and inquired if Firor, the printer,
was about. Hearing the question asked
we quit work and were met by one of the
gentlemen. After introducing himself
we found we were in the presence of Mr..
Jas. r. Baldwin. treasurer of the Pro-
gressive Party, and that he wished to
settle the Bull Moose advertising account
contracted last fall. We washed our
hands, discounted the bill SO per cent
and settled in full. Feeling we were so
much to the good we quit work at once.
Mr. Baldwin is going from town to
town settling with every newspaper man.

Willing To Arbitrate.
Differences Between Railroads
and Employees TO Be Settled
Ry New Law.

For some weeks the question upper
most in the minds of the trainmen and
conductors of all eastern railroads mas
been whether or not to strike. The rail-
road men finally voted to strike and gave
officials a certain time in which to say
whether they would or would not COM
ply with their demands-raise their Wa
pes. A conference was held and it was
agreed to arbitrate the matter.
The agreement between the presidents
of the eastern railroads and their con-
ductors and trainmen provides that they
arbitrate their differences under the pro-
visions of the New 'andS-C Clayton act Gre
ating board of mediation and concllia-
ton.
The bill has already passed the Senate
and its passage in the House was prom
ised by President Wilson and Congresslona
leaders last Tuesday.
The bill provides for permanent COM
mission to deal with railroad disputes,
and creates the United States Board of
Mediation and Cancellation.
1t will consist Of commissioner, with
a salary of 81, 500, appointed by the Pres
ident, and not more than two other OFF,
Gals of the Government already appoint
ed bv the President. There is also an
assistant commissioner, with salary of
S., 900, authorized to act in the commits
sioner's absence.
For settlement of controversies as they
might arise, the measure would provide
for boards OF arbitration of six or three,
to be selected with the help of the board
of mediation and consultation wherever
necessary. The latter board would pass
on any disagreements among the arbi-
traitors.
Awards made by the board would be
executed by the Federal courts.

OLD PLANTS ADVERTISED
UNDER NEW NAME

Washington, D. c., Dec. There
has recently been a considerable
amount of advertising, by the press
and otherwise, of two beans for
which highly extravaganza claims are
made, and for the seed of which ex-
orbitant prices are being asked. One
Of these is being advertised under
the name of the Shahon pea, with the
absurd claim that on three and one
half acres this plant produced 70
tons of hay and $50 bushels of seed.
The Shahon pea is nothing more
nor less than the plant properly
known as the Asparagus bean, or
Yard-long bean. 1t is a close relative
of the cowpea-in fact, by most bot
anists considered mere variety. In
experimental tests with upwards of

starch again; stir again so as to
rinse all particles of starch we'll; al
low to stand for about eight hours.
Remove water from the top, the
layer of pulp, etc. In doing so be
careful not to waste the starch.
Continue this process with new ap-
locations and careful stirring, let

times as it is necessary to effect a
complete separation of starch from
the pulp, peeling, and sediment of
the potatoes. 1t will usually take
four or five washings.
Potato starch is a healthful food
and can be used in at least a dozen
different ways for food purposes in
making buildings, salads, milk
dishes, etc. 1t is both an easy and
economical method of providing a
valuable food product for the aver
age home.
The potato water and wastes in
cident to the process can be easily
utilized on the farm for hogs, poultry
and stock.

HOW TO MAKE STARCH
FROM POTATO CULLS

The Potato clubs which the de-
partment of agriculture has been or
ganizing to teach the young people of
America to grow potatoes were pri-
marily intended for boys. Certain
girls, however, became interested,
enrolled, and have done particularly
we'll, not only in management of crop
but in manufacturing homemade
potato starch out of the unmarked
able culls of the vegetable.
Each girl when she enrolls in this
club work, which now is being taken
up by $4,000 young people, is given
recipe for making homemade po-
tato starch. The office of farm man
agem ent's specialist who is in
charge of the potato club work sup
plies each new girl member with a
printed copy, which reads as follows:
Equipment needed-Two clean
galvanized tubs, large dish pan, one
cylindrical crater, and plenty of
V alter and wiping cloths.
Take five bushels of potato culls.
Wash them thoroughly by the use of
plenty of water and small scrub
bling brush.
Use one tub for cleaning potatoes
and the other for the gratings. Seat
yourself in a convenient place be-
tween the two tubs, with dish pan
and crater in your lap.
Without removing the skin, crate
your clean potatoes from right-hand
tub into the dish pan, empty pan of
Gratings when necessary into the
ell-cleaned tub to your, left; con-
tinue this operation until your left
hand tub is trifle over half full.
Four clean water into tub upon the
potato gratings until nearly full, stir
we'll so as to saturate every particle
OF water.
Remove all Feelings and floatinf
material from top of water; allow
tub to stand overnight, so that starch
will settle to bottom and all pulp and
potato skin will rise to the top of the
%ater. Remove all water carefully
fl ON tub in the morning, as we'll as
the dark formation and sediment on
top of the layer of starch.
