other didn't get that far; neve:- heless,
the million and half the farmers
put in mostly missing. The courts are
now full of law suits started by in
dignant stock purchasers.
Recently, western farmer who in
a lifetime of hard work had devel-
oped a first class farm worth $4,000
went into court and asked that a
guardian be appointed for himself. 1t
appears that the stock boomers had
gotten him to sign up for stock in var
ious shady oil companies to the tune
Of $4,000. The guardian repudiated
the notes and the farmer will not lose
his farm.
James A. Davis, of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION of Commerce, says: ut is
safe to estimate that at this moment
there are MORE THAN ONE BILLION
DOLLARS WORTH of wildcat" in
vestments being offered to the people
of this country.
Don't buy. Beware of the sharpers!

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DEC. "a 1920
HOW CHRISTMAS HAPPENED

Few probably know just how De-
cember 25th originally happened to be
fixed as Christmas Day. About $40 A.
d. st. Cyril made careful inquiry as
to the date Of the birth of Christ and
reported, December % as the correct
date. Pope Julius accepted this, and
some years later established the fes-
tivaI at Rome on this date. Before the
close of the century is was accepted
by every nation in Christendom.
"Of all the old festivals" says Irv-
ing in his Sketch Book" 'that OF
Christmas awakens the strongest and
most heartfelt associations. There is
a tone of solemn and sacred feeling
that blends with our conViviality, to
state of haIlowed and elevated enjoy
ment. There is something in the very
season of the year that gives charm
to the festivity of Christmas. At other
times we derive a great portion of our
pleasures from the mere beauties OF
nature. The song of the bird, the muir
1fiur of the stream, the breathing frag-
rance of spring, the soft Voluptuous-
ness of summer, the golden pomp OF
autumn, earth with its mantle of re-
freshing green, and heaven with its
deep delicious blue and its cloudy mag
nifcence, all fill us with mute but eX-
quisite delight, and we revel in the
luxury of mere sensation. But in the
depth of winter, when nature lies des-
poiled of every charm, and wrapped in
her shroud of sheeted snow, we turn
for our qualifications to moral sources.
We feel more sensibly the charm Of
each others society"

FARMERS AND GAMBLERS.

Senator Capper, Of Kansas has
reputation of being the farmers
friend. He has been giving the recent
drop in crop values more attention
than perhaps any other American SEN
ator and his bill to tax the grain gam
bling business out of existence meets
with the approval of all soil-tillers in
Maryland.
The senator says that many times
the quantity of the total crop of grain
has been bought and sold on the Chi
.caao Board of Trade this fall and win
ter, and that the gambling in futures
is the prime cause of beating down
the price of grain He admits, appar-
emily, that the price of grain was due
for a fall, but what he is trying to i'm
plant in the minds of congress is that
LuS WuOlGSiiS SdIHuIiuS DIT SulCdSO
has exaggerated the loss to farmers
many fold All of which will be gener-
ally admitted.
The grain gamblers sometimes force
prices up and sometimes down; but
in either case the price is forced fur
Their up than conditions merit and
forced down further than conditions
merit. And just at the time of the
year when prices should be stabilized
the prices are usually knocked down.
Farmers will never be satisfied with
prices fixed by gamblers They are will
ing to let supply and demand fix
prices, and nothing else

the foundation is good, it is also i'm

These properties are in a good

cation thereof by this Court; and the

purchaser or purchasers.

RY AIR OVER THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN.

King Victor Emmanuel at Rome,
was keenIy interested when he was
told bv Gianna Caproni, the aeroplane
inventor, of a projected giant plane
which would carry 800 persons across
the Atlantic in about Sc hours. Plans
for the machine are now being COM
pleted, and provisions are being made
for dining and sleeping accommoda-
tions on board the aerial liner.
A smaller aeroplane designed by
Signor Caproni will make its trial
trim in January near Lake Maggiore.
This aeropIane will be capable OF car
rying 100 persons distance of 800
miles, it is said Work on the trans
Atlantic plane will be started as soon
as the smaller liner has been tested.
In his conversation with the King,
Signor Caproni told him of his plan to
return to New York next spring and
begin the construction of a new aero
plane factory near New York City.
Several interviews between Signor
Caproni and Colonel James CLANCY,
aerial attache at the American Embas-
sy at Rome, have been held, and the
inventor has met other officials of the
Embassy.

BEWARE OF STOCK SHARKS

The get-rich-quick promotions of
the last two or three crazy years are
coming home to roost, now that mon
ey is tight and the price of commodi-
ties are dropping.
1t is stated in the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington that new OIL
companies, either hopeful or wildcat,
sold billion dollars worth OF stock
to the farmers of one rich western
state in two years. These farmers are
now learning that most of this money
was absolutely thrown away.
In Iowa, two fashily advertised
packing house companies were start
ed and most of the shares were sold
to farmers of the state by statesmen
who received commissions of 25 cents
on every dollar they made the farmer
produce. One of these concerns built
a plant and failed in four months. The

Wool Worth soc a Pound.

q
Mr.. Bedell, Sheep Specialist, Uni
versity of Maryland has been able to
secure a contract for the Sheep Grow
ers of Maryland with a prominent
Wooden Mill of the South, to make
blankets a a very reasonable rate. 1t
requires 10 pounds of clean wool to
make double blanket 72XS4 inches,
which will weigh about 5 pounds. 1t
will cost the farmer So for the MAX
ing of the blanket, 75c for freight
both ways, and ten pounds of wool at
55c per pound, $3.50 This would make
as fine blanket as could be fou
on the market for .$11.25.
A very fine motor robe can be had
by supplying 8 pounds of wool, $500
for weaving, and 75c for express. This
robe can be had in two shades OF
brown, two shades Of blue, or in
plaid.
The blankets come in white, with
pink or blue border, gray, with pink
or blue border, or plaid. There are
two shades of pink, two shades of blue
and two shades of gray.
In order to make the blankets and
robes stronger and more servIceable,
they will contain per cent OF cotton
warp.
All farmers who have wool and
wish to have blankets made for them
selves. or to sell to neighbors, can do
so by getting in touch with the county
Agent before the 10th of January. A
date will be set when all wool of the
county will be brought into the County
Agents office, graded, bagged and
shipped.
