The black heavens, the downpouring
rain, the balls of fire from the Roman
candles and the colored flares made a
scene of wierd beauty which was en-
joyed by the few hundreds who had
faith enough in the city's advertising
the fire run to come out and see it.
It certainly rained yesterday, but
George T. Nixon, the local weather
mand had it all fixed so that it only
rained while the visitors were in the

The band gave pleasing program

He was thrown out on his head and
shoulders and his neck broken, caus-
ing him to be paralyzed from his neck
down. He is perfectly conscious,
knows the different relatives and
friends and has even been able to at
tend to business affairs. Mr.. Wod-
worth is in hospital at Council
Bluffs, and four different specialists
have been watching the outcome of
it all. They consider it remarkable
that he ever regained consciousness.
Mr.. Woodwork is 81 years old. His

WHERE DO YOUR FOWLS BOOST

Do you ever look into your hen house
to see how the fowls are spending the
night! 1t will pay yoa 70 keep track
of how your birds arrange themselves
for the night, especially during the
cold winter months. This is one phase
Of poultry culture that seems to be
overlooked by most writer's.
We hear about colds being caused
by all manner OF things, but did 1t ever
occur to you that isolated cases OF
colds might be caused by birds roost
ing apart in a drafty portion Of the
house7 l have seen hens roost on
nests, feed-hoppers. cross braces and
even on drinking vessels. What is
worse. l have seen many take cold
apparently from no other reason than
that they were in a very cold and
drafty place. The best way to keep
them of such places is to provide
slopinss tops so that the birds cannot
obtain a foothold.
1t is especially important to look
after this situation when you have
more than one male In the pen. Have
you ever puzzled over the fact that
one male bird seemed to stand the cold
weather better than the others? 1t
might be interesting for you to watch
proceedings about roosting time some
cold night. This may be about what
happens: The more timid rooster"

TWO THINGS NEEDED

Wicomico County.

JESSE M. HUFF UNGAONs
Wicomico County.
Education is a most important mat
ter In our country life. Our farmer
boys and girls should be trained in
country Industries. Our boys should
be taught the general principles Of
farming, farm management, crop and
animal production. and the like. This
work should be started in the els-
mentary grades. continuing throughout
their school days. Our girls should
learn household economy and home
sanitation. With such training in child
hood. any country girl Is better fitted
for the many problems which confront
her In later life.
A consolidated school In each rural
community instead Of so many small
one-teacher schools would meet an
urgent need in many communities. Ad-
vantages gained by having consoli-
dated school are more competition, bet
ter equipment, and more specialized In
struction. Our high schools ought also
to be provided with means for giving
agricultural courses, particularly.
winter short courses for the benefit Of
the older farmer boys. They should
also have classes for training rural
teachers, as many OF our teachers do
not understand the needs and prob
lens of country life. Our normal
schools should train teachers especial
ly for country schools. Our Agricul
tural College ought to be looked up 70
as the greatest institution in the State
devoted to teaching agriculture. Stu
dents either intending to be teachers
or farmers should be encouraged to
attend it The agricultural short
courses held there are Of immessurable
value to the agricultural interests.
We need also to promote local or
ganizations in our rural communities.
Local Improvement associations work
effectively for improved roads, better
schools. and more effective local gov
ernment. Women's clubs are useful
In aiding our country mothers to be-
come better home keepers, and secure
necessary recreation. Boys and
Girls Clubs give the boys enthusiasm
for farming. and teach them improved
methods. while they create in our girls
an interest in household economy and
give them the social life they need.
The local grange has rendered valu-
able services in promoting improved
living conditions. better agricultural
methods, the elimination Of unneces.
sary middlemen. economy and honesty
In government, and satisfactory edu-
cational facilities.
In Maryland. particularly. the An

have been particularly helpful in AZ
fording an opportunity for the States
agricultural resources and q meeting
place for our city and country people.
The Essay contest for the boys and
girls Of the public schools, which they
supervise, is an inducement TO US to
study our agricultural problems and
help us become more useful men and
women. II is good thing that we
have these societies and associations
in our State. They are much needed.
We should have them in every com
munity in Maryland.
