POMONAGRaNGE MEETS
AT MT. AIRY
COUNTY AGENT FULLER GAVE A RESUME
OF BILLS PENDING IN CONGRESS
175 CHANGERS PRESENT.

Pomona Grange met at Mount Airy,
Saturday, December 4, with seven OF
the nine oranges Of the county repre-
sCnted. There were about 175 grangers
present.
After a short business session, the
meeting was turned over to Lecturer
J. K. Smith. Prof. Smith called on the
Master and Lecturer of the Student
Grange, of the University of Maryland
They both gave some fine points as to
the workings of an ideal lecture hour
which means much to the interest
shown in a, local grange.
County Agent Fuller reported on the
State Agricultural Society meeting at
Salisbury, and gave a resume, of the
bills pending in Congress, which are
OF interest to the farmers. A resolu
ton was later passed on favoring the
passing of the Capper-Volstead Bill
giving the farmers the right to coop
crate in the selling of their produce;
the French-Capper, "Truth-in-Fabric"
Bill, requiring manufacturers to hon
estly label their products as to the
percentage of wool or shoddy they
contain; the Vestal Bill requires a
Standardization Of containers; the
Smith Bill, granting credit to Germany
to the amount held in this country
from the sale of Alien property.
The Nolan Bill, which puts a tax of
! per cent. on all farm land valued
over $4,000 except buildings, and the
Townsend Highway Bill, which pro
vides for through" roads for touring
and long distance hauling are not
conductive TO the building up of the
agricultural interests OF the county,
and the passage Of these bills was op-
posed.
After a very fine lunch, served in
the social room of the hall, by the
ladies of Mt Airy Grange, Pomona
Grange was again called to order by
the Worthy Master, c.. +. Beck. Prof.
Smith introduced Mr.. Reuben Brig
ham, of the States Relation Service, u.
S. Department of Agriculture. He gave
a very inspiring and instructive talk
on the local grange, and especially the
lecturers hour.
Miss Rachel Everett presented the
question of disposing of wool by hay
ing blankets and robes made.
The following resolution was then
presented, and passed unanimously:
Whereas, Miss Rachel Everett,
Home Demonstration Agent for Car
roll County, is leaving our county on
o leave of absence, to take a course at
the University of Chicago, and
Wheras, Miss Everett's work in this
county has been highly satisfactory
t. the citizens Of the county, and es-
paciaEy helpful to the women and
children of the rural districts, and
has created a remarkable community
spirit throughout the county,
Therefore be it resolved, That the
Pomona Grange of Carroll County, at
its regular session held in Mt. Airy on
December 4. 1920, desires to extend to
Miss Everett it's hearty thanks for her
work in the county, to wish her sue
ccssful and pleasant vacation and as
sures her our individual support upon
her return to the county, when, we
are sure her services will be even
more valuable because of her know
ledge of conditions in the county. and
Of the esteem in which she is held by
our people. -

he does say: I'VE take the stand that

must be a speedy return to consti-

This seems to imply that like it or

A Tribute to Maine.

1t is especially gratifying at this
time to have attention called to the
following fine tribute from Professor
Charming. Harvard's authority on
American history:
Maine, to me, stands for fearless
patriotism and community spirit. =
The first New England settlement
was made on her coast: that it
failed was due to causes outside
herself.

days she did her part, always stand

ity."
The Journal has Hon. Alfred John
son Of Brookline, Mass, to thank for
bringing the above to our notice. Mr..
johnson, as grandson of Judge AL

the convention which separated
Maine from Massachusetts,, was ask :

spection,

The hundredth anniversary Of her
statehood-March Is. 1920 to 1920.
affords Maine a pleasant opportunity
for retrospection. Surely no State
in the Union has had u better or
dered existence; none has been found
more consistently in the right as re-
cards it's attitude toward public
questions from slavery TO prohibit
ton: none has responded more
loyalty to The needs of the country or
more sympathetically to the needs
Of humanity.
Located in corner Of the great
union of states her thought and
purpose have been national in scope,
never isolated or provincial. A.
though then a province of MaSsa-
chusetts her sentiment did not fol-
low that state in its attitude toward
The war of 1912. Her representa-
lives have been leaders in national
thought and possessed OF q broad
outlook. No State is better known
throughout the country than is
Maine, because of the leader
ship in affairs of government, be-
cause of her pioneers who have car
red Maine traditions in every state.
and because nowhere else may be
found more favorable and attractive
possessions Of seashore, Of lakes and
forests, Of pure air and water, nor a
people more worthy to be entrusted
with American ideas and traditions.
The tabulation of the vote on the
question of setting Maine off from
Massachusetts, shows that this part
Of the State was strongly in favor:
where Cumberland gave but 1915 for
the measure and 1894 against, Ken
nebec gave 1850 in favor with only
1440 voted for separation and 237
against. Penobscot's vote was small,
5s4 for and 231 against. The first
Monday in April was the date of the
election following admission of the
State. William King was elected
governor practically without opposi-
ton and the county of Kennebec
chose. as senators John Chandler of
Monmouth, Joshua Gage Of Augusta
and Timothy Boutelle of Waterville
The first legislature chose John
Holmes of Alfred and John Chandler
as United States senators.
And SO was launched Maine. The
century has been but a Cay in the

dog had killed the lads chicken
worth $1.75, and when Palmer told
him to ascertain who was the owner
Of the dog SO that the value might

paid the lad $1.75 for the chicken
and charged him $500 for legal ad-
vice, from all Of which it may be
possible to infer just about where
the public gets Off with Mr.. Palmer.

pccted to lead the threatened revolt,
HindenburS and Ludendorff, have
not been definitely mentioned in con-
nection with Saturdays proceedings
General Ludendorff, who has been
represented as the brains and energy
of the military party, has had q con-
ference with the new chancellor but
the result OF the meeting has not

ly announced his candidacy for the
office of president and may take an

The announcement of his candi-
dacy is significant. President Ebert,

Stuttgart. was elected first presi-
dent of the progressive re-
public" for 4 term of seven years on
February II. 1919, by the National
Assembly at Wemar, and thus has
served only one year of his term.
The Hindenburg candidacy would
not naturally be made prominent I'M
! less a revolutionary change had been
in contemplation.
| The new governemnt has declared
| its intention to keep the terms of the
peace treaty ''as far as it's fulfillment
| could be reconciled with German
honor and the countrys economic flu
ture." This statement, too, seems to
have a reservation written between
the lines. While the makers of the
treaty tried to draft a peace
, Oh nOnOf ana one that could be full
filled economically. there is oppor-
tunity for wide divergence of opin-
ion on what constitutes honor and
the economic future.

It's Time to Get
Back Into Clover

Washington, March 15-Decline in
clover culture by American farmers
seems to have gone so far as to
threaten to be serious and for the
good Of the nations corn and wheat
crops it is time to get the land back
into clover. the Department Of Agri-
culture advises. Productiveness of
land under corn and wheat decreases
most rapidly. Rotation of crops is
earnestly advocated by experts who
say the most important is corn
wheat clover. with oats in place of
wheat where corn occupies the land
too long to permit seeding wheat in
time.
Experiments show that in contin-
uous culture for 20 years. the yield
of wheat fell from 9.24 bushels as an
average for the first ten years to
5.19 bushels for the second ten years.
while in a 3-year corn wheat clover
rotation the yield of wheat rose from
9.9a bushels in the first ten years to
1913 bushels in the second decade.
