PEA CANNEPY PROPOSED
Do the Farmers of Oakland and the
Surrounding Community Want It?

A number Of farmers in the vicinity
of Oakland have consulted the County
Agent as to the advisability of grow
ing garden PEAS commercially, and
have expressed a desire to try out the
proposition, provided someone could
be induced to put in a cannery.
Messrs. n. Il. Fooks & Co., of Pres
ton, Maryland, have agreed to put in a
cannery in this section of the county
provided the. farmers will agree to
grow between hundred and two hun
bred acres Of peas.
The climate of Garrett county is es-
pecially suited to the growing of peas
and the quality of the product is said
to be superior to those grown in East
ern Maryland. The crop is easy to
grow as the peas are drilled in like
wheat and require no cultivation. The
vines are cut with a mower, hauled to
the picker or thresher, where the peas
are hulled and the farmer paid for
the green peas.
They fit we'll into the rotation, can
be sown between the seeding of oats
and corn planting and harvested after
the oats harvest. After the crop is
off, the soil is in fine condition for
wheat or rye. One of the first reuui-
sites for peas is a neutral soil. They
are a legume, and, if inoculated, will
serve the same purpose as soy beans
or COW peas for improving the soil.
1t is not necessary that all the peas
be grown in one community-thresh
ers may be put in any community, the
peas hulled and only the green peas
would have 10 be hauled to the can
merry. As an example: If the farm
ers around Accident wanted to grow
peas for the cannery, a thresher could
be placed at Accident, the peas hulled
there and the green peas hauled to
Oaklarl on truck. thus making it
possible to bring the peas grown on
one to two acres at one load.
Mr. Fooks, of the above firm, has
agreed to come to Oakland, meet with
the farmers of the county and explain
to them the agreement that he is will
ing to enter into. Wednesday, Feb
ruary 18th, has been set as the day
to meet and discuss the proposition
The meeting will be held at the Court
House at ten o'clock in the morning,
and the place of meeting will be the
County Agents office. Mr.. Fooks will
be here at that time and all interested,
either directly or indirectly. are asked
to be present. All points will be fully
discussed at this meeting.

PASSENGER TRAIN 3 DERAILED
While Going at High Rate of Speed
Through independence, West Va.

Baltimore and Ohio passenger train
No. 3, which is due in Oakland at GAS
every morning, was completely de-
rallied on Friday morning while pass
ing through the town of Independence,
thirty-five miles west of Oakland, at
high rate of speed. The engine and
nine cars composed the train, and only
the locomotive remained on the rails.
All the coaches plowed up the track
for some distance and halted in an up
right position. The accident occurred
on down-grade.
The derailment is said to have been
caused by section of rail break
ing under the heavy train. The
wreck crews from Cumberland and
keyser assisted in clearing the road
way. No passenger or trainmen were
injured, although everyone on the
train were more or less Jared up.

SIMS CONVERSATION
TO BE INVESTIGATED
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE ques-
ton of exactly what was said In the
conversation between Rear Admiral
William S. Sims and three members of
congress in Paris during the war prob
ably will lead the senate committee
the award of naval dec
orations to prolong the hearing in JUS
tice to both sides.
Admiral Sims denied that he had
made statements belittling the partici-
patton of the American army and
navy in the war as attributed to him
by Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina, one of the trio who talked
with the admiral in Paris, and sub
Stimulated in part by Senator Glass,
who was representative at the time
of his visit to France. Senator Glass,
however, explained that he did not I'M
derstand Admiral Sims to wish to dis
credit the army" but had believed he
was simply telling us what he had
heard and thought to be true"
Representative Whaley of South
Carolina, the third member of the con-
gressional party who was unable to
appear before the committee because
of illness, has requested that he be
allowed to testify Monday Chairman
Hale, however has not set a definite
date for resumption of the investiga-
ton.

The Farm and The Farmer
nv WILLIAM a. sAN1oRN

CLAUDE DILLON-I as a farmer,
object to day light saving. as it makes
our banking hours far too short, also
for any other business we want to
DO. We must lose the best part Of the
afternoon in order to get there in
time.
C. A. HARRIS-The day light saw
ing law is the biggest nuisance farm
ers have to contend with. l am
bitterly opposed to it.
NEWTON GILMER-I think it fool
ish. II the factories want to go to
work an hour earlier all right. Nature
never changes or reserves her laws,
why should man try it?
ISAAC p. DAVIS-1t don't benefit
the farmer can't see as it would do
the cities any good. We farmers have
had enough of it.
r. H. HOUSEWORTH-I cannot use
the new time, therefore 1t is very in
convenient in making dates with pro-
fessional men and in getting into town
before the closing OF the banks and
stores.

Osborn May Be Recalled
In Election Fraud Trial
(By Associated Press)

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. Ii
When federal district court opened
today there was a possibility that
Chase E. Osborn would be recalled for
cross examination in the Newberry
election conspiracy trial. The former
Governors testimony consumed a
large part of yesterdays sessions and
attorneys for the defense deferred
cross examination until they could
have time to communicate with two
defendants mentioned by the witness
and who are absent on account of ILL.,
ness. The importance of Osborn's tes-
timony was not minimized by defense
attorneys who had previously init
mated that his examination would be
most thorough.

SALE GROWS
FROM LOCAL AFFAIR
TO COUNTY event

AS one glances over the newspapers
and note the vast volume of farm sale
advertising that appears from day to
day one is impressed with the manner
in which times have changed during
the past six years.
Evolution has had its effect upon
farm sales, the same as it has had
upon every other human activity.
There was a time when the individual
who was going to have a public sale
went to the printing office and had
some bills printed which he tackled up
at each cross roads, in livery stables,
the postoffice and grocery stores.
Sometimes the printer gave him a
reading notice in the newspaper as
sort of testimonial Of appreciation for
the job of printing. Later there grew
up the practice of supplementing the
bills with smaller announcements that
were mailed to persons whom it was
thought might be interested
Then came the automobile and the
farmers no longer stopped to chat at
the cross roads and stand in the rain
or snow to read a sale bill nailed to a
fence post. With the coming of the
automobile the livery stables began to
disappear
With the extension of the rural de-
livery system the farmers no longer
congregated regularly at the postoffice.
Farmer Becomes Business Man.
With the new order of things the
farmer became business man whose
time is too valuable to waste in loaf
Ing in grocery stores: he transacts
his business and goes his way to other
important things.
q ts hot c,,l
farm sales are now advertised in
| newspapers; the man who is selling
sends his announcement to the pros.
pective buyer through the newspaper
the same as any other business man
and 1t is read in comfort and more
painstakingly than formerly. AS a
consequence the crowds at the sales
are larger and the prices are higher
than ever before.
Many farmers are also becomine
rather ethical in the matter, some oil
! them now hesitate to even hand out
bills at another mans sale. They
take the view that it is his day and
his crowd, drawn together as a result
Of his advertising and his effort, anC
that they have no moral right to dc
anything that may detract in any way
from the success Of his sale.
The whole proposition is merely
evidence of the new day in which we
are living and the new manner If
which things are done. The farmer
who is going to have public sale nov
talks to thousands through the news
papers. where he formerly talked tt
scores through bills on fence corners
And the automobile has widened the
scope Of his clientele to degree once
undreamed of.

To Peel Off Blotchy,
Rough or Chapped Skin

To remove roughness, chaps, freck-
les, blotches, or any complexion
difficulty, the best thing to do is to
remove the skin itself. This is easily,
painlessly and inexpensively done by
the application of ordinary mercolized
wax, procurable at any drugstore in
the original one-ounce package. The
wax absorbs the defective outer skin,
little each day, gradually bringing the
second layer of skin to the surface.
The pores are unclogged and the face
breathes in the life-giying oxygen. The
new skin is beautifully soft and spot
less, bearing the healthy glow OF
youth. Just apply the wax as you
would cold cream, only not rubbing it
in. In the morning wash it off with
warm water. It's the most effective
complexion treatment known.-Adver-
tlsement.
