ton of three bull associations, three
c0W-testing associations, the purchase
Of OF head of cattle, and the eStab-
lishment of two more creamerieS.
ITO large measure the increasing
Importance of Southern dairying is
due to educational work. But whether
the dairy business, after being we'll
started, will grow depends on more
material things, including refrigerat-
ing machinery. Heretofore the lack
of adequate means for cooling butter
and regulating the temperature of
cheese-Curing rooms has limited the
advantages of dairying to the north
ern half of the United States.
Before the days of ice machines,
Kansas had a liberal sprinkling OF
cheese factories, but they disappeared
because Kansas cheese couldn't COM
pete with cheese made in Wisconsin
Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and
Canada. Refrigeration changes the
complexion of things. An ice machine
driven by a small gas engine or cleo
trio motor makes dairying indepen,
dent of any particular latitude. What
the South with it's year-around pas
lures will do in dairying when in
vaded by better cows and modern fac,
tory equipment is one of the bright
things on the dairy horizon"

Along the roadway ran,
When suddenly there hove in sight

It's brakes it tightly set,
Its horn blew up, it's gears were

Its nerves were SO upset
But the grutal fellow, with sudden

Fell down-and two wheels passed
over him.
Imagine how that shocked our bright
And innocent young carl
Its mudguards both were ruined
quite,
Its hood got SUCH a jar!
But the brutal fellow was not con-
And over him both the rear wheels
went.

DIR. PATTERSON'S RETIREMENT

DR. H. J. Patterson's retirement
from the presidency of the Maryland
Agricultural College should not be
allowed to pass without an expression
done in advancing the agricultural in
terests of the State. For about a
score of years DR.. Patterson has been
head of the experiment station, he
retaining that position after he was
elected president of the State College.
To it's energies he brought deep
knowledge, a large enthusiasm and
constant industry. The agricultural
advance of the State during the last
two decades has been due to him
probably more than any other man.
He rebuilt the college in the critical
days following the fire and his plans,
it is said, will be followed by the
new president in the proposed extern
sive development of the institution.
Prof. Alfred F. Woods, who succeeds
him, is reputed to be one of the fore
most agri ulturists Of the country He
will be heartily welcomed in Maryland.
But especial good wishes will 60 out
to the retiring president, who will
continue as director of the experiment
station and who may be expected to
make that institution still more valu-
able to the farmers of the State

LET'S HAVE A FIRE TRUCK.

We have heard talk and read so
much about fire truck for Westmins-
ter that it is time to do something.
Talk and reading about the IRE
fighting machine will not get it, we
have to have the hard cash. The
only way, it seems to us, is for our
public spirited citizens and fire COM
pany to get behind the movement and
keep it going until the necessary
amount is raised.
There are a number of citizens who
volunteered to present substantial
checks toward the purchase of a suit
able fire truck for this city. They
certainly are more Of these gentle
men around if we knew it, and there
are various other ways of raising a
good sum of money. Can you suggest
one?
We know, as well as you, our fire
men can cope with any cOntlagratlon
if they have the equipment in time to
do the work. On several occasions
they have been handicapped by the
hose carriages and ladder truck ar
irving late.
The fire truck should be the best,
equipped with a pump. If a ire
should start at Western Maryland
College our pressure would not be
sufficient for a stream of water to
reach the top of the main buildings
without extra force, and a high pres
sure pump is just the article needed.
Don't wait until our city is fire
swept and then explode this, We'll, if
our fremen had arrived sooner with
the apparatus the fire would have
been extinguished with little damage"
Do you want a fire truck? Let's
get it.

A POSER FOR THE JUDGE
The Way The Accused Put the Case Up
to the Court.

Writing of Polish temperament and
talent, Sidney Whitman in Things l
Remember" has an amusing story OF
a bright Polish Jew who traded in
chemicals. He was brought before the
law courts for selling poison without
fulfilling the legal enaCtments bearing
on such transactions.
The magistrate proceeded to read
out the charge when the Jew sudden
ly interrupted him with the question:
Excuse me, Mr.. President. Do you
understand anything about chemi-
cals?"
Mr.. S. the expert, is here in that
capacity" replied the Judge.
And you, Mr.. S." queried the Jew,
do you understand anything about
law"
You have just heard from his
worship that 1 am an expert in chem
icals. If you want to know anything
about law please address yourself to
the Judge"
Il ask you, Mr.. President, just to
consider the case for one moment.
You are the judge of the court and
admit thar you do not understand any
thing about chemicals, and the expert
tells US that he does not know any
thing about law. And l, a poor Jew,
am expected to be familiar both with
the law and with chemicals. Now,
Mr.. President, | ask you how you can
possibly convict me?'

The Fish Hatchery at Havre de
Grace has been ordered closed by the
Government Secretary, because the
State of Maryland does not pass laws
preventing the destruction of eggs
from Matching by the Maryland fish
ermen by the nets they use. The
anchored gill nets being specially
mentioned. These nets, it is alleged,
destroy the shad eggs. Some years
ago. before these destructive nets
were used, the hatchery in Havre de
Grace received 200,000,000 shad eggs,
the best in the market, and paid lib
orally for them. AS the COnserva-
ton Commission of Maryland was
appointed to preserve and increase
the supply of food fishes of various
kinds for the markets of this and
other States, the Commission should
discharge this plain duty placed upon
them If they do this the hatch
cry would be restored and would add
much to the comfort of all the people
Of the State, by increasing the supply
and diminishing the cost Of the best

THE COUNTRY EDITOR Is CLOSE
TO THE LIFE OF HIS COM
MUNITY.

The country newspaper publisher
more than any other man is the one
whose finger is on the pulse OF the
community life about him, who hears
the heartbeat of his neighbors, wheth-
er that heartbeat be in JOY or anguish,
and who sees their tears Of joy and
| laughter.
1t is these things that bring him
close to the life of those about him,
that give him a better understanding
Of men and give him the knowledge
and the ability to help solve the prob
lens that confront the community, be
these problems matters for the indi-
vidual or for his neighbors generally.
II the publisher or editor Of the
great metropolitan paper would know
how the day of the country publisher
is passed, let him read the following
words from the Oakley, (Kan.)
Graphic:
The newspaper business is a great
game. Just in the midst of an obit-
uary of a dear friend and when hot
tears threaten to flow down and blot
out the words you write, there breaks
through the office door the radiant
face of the daddy of a new boy. Tears
and joy mingle in the same breath,
and the giving and taking away of
life are recorded on the same page.
Before you have finished the obitu-
airy the breezy advance man for a
comedy show pops in and asks you to
write scream for his Forty Fat Frol-
icsOme Fairies and how joyous they
are. Before you have done with the
kind words about your departed
friend, the JOY over the new baby and
finished the ShOWman'S advertisement,
a fellow sneaks in to ask you to sup
press the story of the fight that he
was mixed up in. Then, after putting
all the lace and trimmings on the
brides wedding gown, dressing the
groom in the conventional black and
starting them off with congratula-
lions and best wishes, you turn again
to the tear side of life and write,
But the stately ship moves on to the
haven under the hill, and, oh, for the
touch OF a vanished hand and the
sound of voice that is still"
Then comes lull, and the old type
writer is content to record the COM
mon place facts, knowing that right
around the corner and each waiting
his turn stand joy, grief, sorrow,
mirth, sarcasm, wit and laughter.
Small wonder, then, that the news
paper man brings to his business a
devotion that is not found i'm any 9TH
er walk of life.-American Press.
