HOGS SWEPT AWAY
BY ICY TORRENTS
Much Damage Caused by Ice Gorges
Near GrantSYiIle.

The recent heavy rain OF Wednesday,
Jan. 6, and breaking up of the ice on
the river, did considerable damage
around in different places in this vici-
nifty, numerous cellars being flooded
and other damage done. On Wednes-
day night the Casselman river began
overlooking shortly after midnight to
such an extent that the destruction to
surrounding property was great. At
Little Crossings, about a mile east of
town, the water rose with an angry
roar, impenlling the mill and other
buildings near the river. VIM. Miller.
W. K. Stanton and others began blast
ing with dynamite in order to change
the current of the water, by disgorg-
ing some of the ice. Their efforts were
not entirely effectual as the water rose
swiftly and steadily, filling the engine
room of the mill to depth of five or
six feet and carrying away a number
of outbuildings near the river.
Four large hogs, just ready to be
slaughtered, were carried from their
sty near the mill and swept off in the
rushing torrent of the water. ice and
derbis. All efforts to rescue them
were futile at the time, and not until
long after daylight could they be trac.
ed, and then three of the beasts were
found lodged among the ice along the
river bank, shivering, frightened, but
otherwise safe except that one of them
had lost his tail in the struggle among
the icy waters. The fourth pig has
not yet been found and is doubtless
dead. 1t, however, was the smallest
of the four and was valued at about
twenty dollars. Several hundred dol
lars worth of damage was done to the
surrounding property.
At Davis, about three miles south of
here, the water rose to an alarming
depth and the fire whistles were sound
ed as signals to bring men to the rescue
of the big saw mill and other places
where destruction threatened. Dyna-
mite was used here, also, to avert dis
aster from the flood. The damage to
property is considerable,-Rep

UNCLE SAM TO OPEN AN
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
POStmaSterS, Rural Carriers and Other
Government Employees 20 Find
Jobs for she .IObIeSS.

A NationalEmployment Bureau reach
ing into every section of the United
States will be put IN operation by the
Department of Labor this week, carry
ing out the suggestion of President Will
son in the Indianapolis speech for "a
systematic m"'lo@ of hl,r;og = Worl-
ingmen of America. Preliminary work
for the bureau has been completed. 1t
was announced tonight by Commissioner
Caminetti of the immigration Bureau,
and instructions sent to the postmasters
and rural mail carriers throughout the
country and to nearly 200, 900 field
agents of the Department of Agricul-
ture who will co operate with the Labor
Department to bring the jobless men
and the manless job together.
The general plan of the Employment
Bureau was outlined by Mr.. Caminetti
as follows:
Notices will be posted in all postoffices
announcing that applications for work
or workers will be received by the post
master who will be supplied with forms
to be filed out and forwarded to the
Labor Department agent In charge of
the zone in which the office is located,
The distribution branch of the immigra-
ton service will handle this part of the
work and to them also will go the re-
ports of the Department of Agriculture
agents as to sections where help is need
ed in harvesting or other work. Appli-
cants will then be informed of the place
where they can obtain work of the kind
they seek and at the nearest point to
them, the postal service acting as the
distributing and collection agency for
applications and replies throughout the
transactions

Don't Blame The Editor.

We presume there never was a news
paper in any locality that gave all the To-
cal happenings. 1t is often that somone
comes or goes that the reporter did not
see. 1t happens that the family is
missed several times. They get the
impression that the editor does not care
to mention them. This Is mistake.
In most country towns the local work
Is the hardest work connected with a
news paper. 4 man may be a good
editorial writer, but fiat failure in
local work and vice versa. Editorial
material is obtained by reading news
papers, sometimes by using scissors.
Personal and local happenings can't be
read and clipped from newspapers, not
by a jugfull. 1t takes physical exer-
ton as well as mental to get out four
or six columns of local news in a town
of this size. Don't be afraid to tell the
editor or reporter that you have friends
visiting you. There are lots of people
who are interested in your friends. You
owe it as duty to them to let your
friends know of their doings. Perhaps
you think the paper shows Partially,
but just see if the paper does not treat
you right if you give it chance. Elk

Grow Suna0wers For Feed.

We would suggest to Garrett county
farmers the ACCESSIBILITY of growing
sunhowers. In the past they have
been considered pest. Now there are
hundreds OF acres being used to produce
1t. Recent experiments have shown
that the seed of the plant. when mixed
with certain other seeds, makes an ex-
cellent poultry and hog feed. Poultry
raisers find it especially valuable.
The sunfiower will thrive on land that
will not grow other crops. Soil that is
too poor to produce good corn will pro-
duce big crop of sunhowers, and land
that is too broken for wheat and crops
requiring the use of power machinery,
may also be Utilized for this crop.
In preparation for planting, about
the same amount of work is required
as tor corn. The fields are plowed deep
ly, and good seed bed is made. The
sunfower seed is then drilled in like
corn, the planter being adjusted so
that the plants will be about fifteen in
ches apart. Planting taxes place in
that climate the first week in July, and
the plants are ready to harvest by the
first of October.
The plants grow from fifteen to eight
cen feet high and produce heads from
sixteen to eighteen inches in diameter.
To harvest the crop, wagons are driven
along the rows, the heads are cut off
and piled in the wagon boxes. The
seed is then thrashed by failing.
An average yield of sunhower seed
per acre is 400 pounds, although as
high as 1000 or 100 pounds have been
secured, and as low as 1900 pounds is
produced in some seasons. The price
IL s.. LUuis Is ;3 per hundred for the
seed. To raise the crop cost about Sc
per acre. Most of this is labor. 1t
takes about four pounds of seed to
plant an acre of land, and the seed
costs on an average five cents per
pound. This makes the net return to
the grower about $35 or S36 per acre.

Announcement has been made by the
Department of Agriculture that the

completely raised from the following
Maryland counties: Allegany, Anne
Arundel, Charles. Dorchester, Garrett,
Kent. Prince Georges, st. Marys,

All traces of the infection, if any

eclipsed more than twice in one year
and NAV escape entirely as will be the

both be of the sun, and when seven
occur five of them must be of the sun.

Jailed For Stealing Tree.

John Denygan, aged 80, of Roslyn,
Long Island. was sent to the Nassau
county Jail at Mineola for one month
by Justice of the Peace Seaman for
stealing cedar tree from the front
lawn of the country place of Clarence
H. Mackay at Roslyn. Denygan was
anxious that his children should have a
Christmas tree, and being unable to
buy one, he crept up on the Mackay
lawn and helped himself to one of the
best trees in sight.
