fish were obtained and Carroll coun-
.ty1 received the following: 300 bass,
5000 sunfish, $50 suckers, 275 crappie,
$50 rock bass, all of which were
placed in the Monocacy River.
Frederick county also received 200,-
600 yellow perch which were placed in
Double Pipe Creek.
The above information clearly shows
that Carroll county is not receiving
as many fish as it should Therefore it
is suggested that every one interested
in the stocking of streams in this coun-
ty ask the Conservation Commission,
512 Munsey5 Bldg, Baltimore, for an
application blank, which should be
filled out and returned. There is no
reason why man cannot go out to
his pond or nearest stream and catch
a bunch of fish, just as he goes to his
yard for a chicken for a meal. Any

A Poem As A Joke.

Mr.. Patterson on Saturday last,
Goes to the barn to do his task;
he opened the door, but was not feel
ing well,
And he sees a man all dressed SO
swell;
Then he jumped down the steps to get
trace
AS the crook slamed the door just
in his face
Then he opened the door so angry, you
know,
And saw the man was not travels
ing slow.
Mr.. Patterson made haste, the best he
could do,
But it seemed as though the man
had flew"
He then returned, but was not feeling
kind,
He looked around and found Mr..
Boone coming behind.
They went inside and searched the
barn,
But found the crook had done no
harm.
They came to the silo standing by
And lost their nerve, afraid to go
inside;
So they locked the door to make it
safe,
But found in the morning it was all
a fake

WILL YOU HELP?

Newspaper reporters find it increas-
ingly difficult to run down the news
happenings of a community. The COM
ings and goings of people are not so
easy to get as they once were. Once
the reporter haunted the railway sta
ton and picked up much Of his new
matter there. But the station no long
er yields up the personal mention i
once did. More people travel by autt
than by train and so personal event
the gonigs and comings, escape tn
eyes of the news gatherer.
That makes it all the more import
ant that readers turn in their news
TENS at the newspaper Office. Tha
is the only way to insure that q men.
ton of something interesting which
has happened in or to your household
is duly chronicled.

Advice TO Teachera

Let your scholar be never afraid
to ask you any doubt, but use dis
creetly, the best ~allurements you can
to encourage them to the same; lest
his overmuch fearing of you drive
him to eek some misorderly shift !;
as to seek to be helped by some other
book, or to be prompted by some other
scholar; and SO go about to beguile
you much, and himself more.
With this good way of understand
Ing the matter, plain constituting, dill
gent parsing, daily t~ranslating, cheer
full admonishing, and heedful amend
ing of faults, never leaving behind
just praise for well doing, I would
have the scholar brought up withal,

SPIDERS THREAD HAS VALUE


The threads Of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers In their tele-
scopes for the purpose Of giving fine
lines to the field OF view, by which
the relative positions Of stars may be
accurately measured.
For a century astronomers desired
to make use Of such lines Of the great
est possible ~1neness, and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex-
treme limit Of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs
Q-5OOth of an inch thick), and threads
Of the silkworm's cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only 1-2OOth Of an inch thick. But
In 1920 an English instrument-maker
named Throughton introduced the
spiders line. This can be readily OBJ
tanned three or four times smaller
than the silkworm's thread, and has
also advantages In Its strength and
freedom from twist.
In order to obtain the thread the
spider is carefully fixed on a minia-
ture rack" and the thread, which at
the moment of issue from the body il
a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to
q winder, by turning which the desired
length Of firm but elastic thread can
% procured.

Height Of Sea Waves.

The records Of average height In
feet observed at sea are approximate
~ equal to half the velocity Of the
wind In statute miles per hour. For
those occasions on which the wind has
had as full opportunity as 1t ever en-
joys Of doing its work, direct proper
tionality still holds good, but the con
slant is higher. 1t has been found
that ~seven-tenths best satisfies the
available observations between q
strong breeze and a whole gale. The
same simple proportion, however, does
not hold when dealing with the heights
corresponding to the gentlest breezes.
The highest wave finally formed are
those travelling at q velocity which is
equal, within the error Of observation
to that Of the wind.-Brooklyn Eagle

promises Eve that he will return soon
and marry her.
AS the days go by and Philip does
not return Job tells Eve that Philip
is dead. Months later when he sees
the Driftwood drop anchor off the is
land, he hastens to hide Eve. When
Philip asks for her Job tells him that
she is dead.
Broken-hearted Philip returns to
the yacht and is about to sail when he
sees two figuers struggling in the
light tower. Hurriedly going ashore
he finds Eve in the embrace of Jim
Smoot, the bullying mate of the yacht.
Knocking the man down he rescues
Eve and goes to demand an explana-
ton from Job Coffin. The excit-
ment has been too much for the old
man and they find him dead at the
foot of the stairs.
With nothing to hinder them Philip
and Eve leave the island, which has
been SO long a prison for the girl, and
soon after a quiet wedding takes
place in the little church in the vii
lage.

Victory Of Courage.

The man or woman who ventures
much may fall often. but he will
achieve in proportion to those very
failures because he will use each one
as a stepping stone to higher effort.
But the man or woman who Quib-
bles. reconsiders, hesitates and weighs
every gain against a greater loss is a
predestined failure, because his very
attitude should be avoided.
He who falls with his face forward
In the battle is not q failure, but a
hero. Failure lies in turning the back
on the foe, to retreat before the n
envy.
When we speak Of success we
should not think In terms OF money
or position OF fame, but of moral
courage, high endeavor, honorable
achievement. And when these are
translated into active service the
world will become that Utopia Of
which so much has been written and
sung.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

LIBERTY BOND BUFFERS

It is rather disillusoning find after all the glory and enthusiastic patriotism of times, that large
 number of Liberty Loan buyers have left their bonds, only partly paid for, at the banks.
 Boldly they displayed the buttons in their coat apels, glorously they displayed the posters in their windows, proving to admiling neighbors and friends how much they loved their country how thrifty they were. low well off They still bask in the sunset of that effulgenctbut they haven't got their bonds.
 There may have been for some of the buyers did not finish paying their bonds. There always people who by of sickness death emergen cy find themselves unable to carry their plans. But nOR nal do not account for anything like the number of people who made first payments and did any thing further about the matter. They have just been careless for the most part With the ending of acuai warfare. their feeling of urgent necessity left them and under the stress of rising prices for peaceme comodi- ties. they have believed themselves unable to cover the remaining payments. That little self-denia to redeem their reputations people of their word and at the time to make little provision for the fnturet
 Americans too happy-go-lucky. They live too much i'll the day. little do they turn their minds to the days to Fair weather does not last forever. The Liberty Bond should be taken up without further delay.

SORGHUM SUGAR
FOR ARIZONA

Every Arizona farmer should plan: smal. patch of long sweetening" or sorghum for syrup. says NIT. s. P. Clark Extension Agronomist Univer- siiy of Arizona. and every community should cooperate in buying a small mill with vats, and should boil what they need for their own use. With the abnormally high price of sugar everyone is looking for suitable sub. sti,ute. and ihe making Of sorghum syrup is not a difficult or technical operation There is usually someone in the neighborhood who krows how and would be willing to supervise the work for the community
 Good molasses contains from three to four times the sweetcning proper. ties Of Karo and other syTups. IL can be used both as table syrup and for sweetening in cookery. It 1t is 10 be stored for winter use it should be boiled low.
 A light seedy vartty of sorghum such as Japanese Honey Dri? Sumac, or Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane, will make a better quality sorghum than the black seed variety The syrup will be lighter amber color and not SO strong 's favo. Every acre of sorghum used to make mollasses bats the Sugar Trust in the eye" so every farmer should get in the game.
 University Of Arizona Extension Circular. No. l9, gives suggestions concerning the making of sorghum syrup.
