Maryland COP. Heads
Under Fire

While all over the city unstinted
plaisc could be heard for Senator Hard
ing and Governor Coolidge, who came
out plainly for the citizenship rights
fer colored people this week, their '!h-
e1uivoral uttcranccs only serve to IN
crease hostilitics against the local re-
publican party.
If the head Of the national ticket,
voters declare can come out IN 1aN"'
of equal opportunity, anti.'ynch'n@'
and will promise to be fair without re-
gard to race, why should they suppor'
a local administration, which by nH
action, if not by its words declares for
no higher Jobs than toilet cleaners?

Harding and Coolidge, but tn" HttArk

Duties of the Interstate Commerce

The Interstate Commerce Commits

these days from various parties who
feel that they have been injured by
this body. When one considers the
duties and power this body exercises
it is no wonder. 1t has been author
lied by Congress to prescribe the max
imum, minimum, and absolute rate to
be charged on transportation; say when
railroad may be extended; when it
may abandon part of its line; when
it may buy more cars or engines, the
kinds it may buy; allow or forbid the
issue Of stock or bonds; how, when
and where trains are to operate; and
has been directed to take from rail-
road that earns more than 6 per cent
a definite portion of the excess and
invest the money so taken. Then in
between times figure out plans for the
consolidation of the railroads. 1t is
thought by some that if the Commits

0. K. Spires, while in reminiscent

rather fast record milking cows, and
while he does not claim to be the
state champion, we would like to see
a milking contest staged between Mr..
Spires and the fellow who thinks he is
entitled to the blue ribbon. Mr.. Spires,
who operates a big Guernsey farm
north Of Burlington, MIXED q cows
might and morning for two months, be-
sides marketing the milk daily in Mi

miles. In 81 minutes he MIXED six
cows, all giving good messes of milk,
and he MIXED IA cows in one hour
and three minutes.
Mr.. Spires has nothing but full
blooded Guernsey cows on his farm
now and between the months of April
and October, this year, marketed over
$4,000 worth Of milk in Minot.

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.

If there is any one thing more than another
that has aided the farmer in making his farm
stead more attractive, his live stock more COM
Portable and his farm more valuable, 1t Is con-
crete on the farm. 1t is of the most eco
nomical and suitable farm-building materials. IN
permanency it cannot be surpassed. In fact. 1t
is unequaed in this one respect. Concrete is
also one of the biggest factors in making build
ngs rat and mouse proof Needless to say, rats
and mice have always been a constant menace
to the farmers grain bins and corncrbs. but the
widespread use of concrete the farm has great
ly reduced the damage done to stored grains.
Perhaps the greatest value of concrete, how
ever, is the fact that 1T be mixed by the farm
err himself Instead of having to depend upon
expensive masons and carpenters he can employ
his spare time In concrete construction because
concrete work is something that anyone can learn
with a little practice
