SIMPLICITY.

Our thoughtful President-elect has
wisdom in him by the mile; he
dosen't, think it quite correct, in
times like these, to put on style.
And when to Washington he goes to
cinch the Presidential chair, he
wants no costly fur-belows, no bunt-
ing swishing in the air. "Cut out
the pomp," says Warren G., ito all
vain fuss attach the can; simplicity
looks good to me, for I'm a common,
corn-fed man. At Marion, here !
abide, do not travel on float, or
in circus wagon ride, when I go
forth to seek my goat. I am no
Caesar, I'm no king, do not head a
captive train, and / won't ride
around, by jing, upon gaudy, glld-
ed vain. l do not hail with snob-
bish glee the plans that hint of
pomp and state; my flivver's good
enough for me-three cylinders are
hitting great. To Washington eft
soons I'll track. and march along the
storied street, a bingham shirt upon
my back, old fashioned CATERS on
my feet. I'll wear my long jim
swinger coat, the same l wore when
l was wed; l will not ride upon a
float, or have punk garlands on my
head" And over all the smiling
land the voters say, He's safe and
sane! His sentiments are fine and
grand! There are no cinchbugs in
his brain!" For what the country
wants and needs is thrift in every
form and guise: economy! the ma
ton pleads for that with wet and
Woody eyes.-Walt Mason.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCiATION
Maryland Congressman Has Bill To
Protect Migratory Fish.

- O~O~S ~"--9~ -S'~'
A bill to protect migratory fish
and to empower the Department of
Commerce to fix the time and place
of their taking has been offered IN
the House by Representative j.
Charles Linthicum of Maryland.
Citing the depletion of the supply of
fish in his own State of Maryland,
Representative Linthicum urges that
Congress enact legislation covering
fish the same as migratory birds are
now protected.
1.-THE fishing industry is rapidly
being depleted" said Representative
Linthicum. "The grabbing business
in Maryland has lessened SO pcr
cent. in the last five years because
of the taking of the female crab dur
ing Information in the waters of
Virginia, thereby destroying the
mother crab.
SIT is peculiar, but we'll establish
ed, that the female crab resorts to
the waters around the capes ducing
the winter season, where she hiber-
mates until it is time to move North
in the spring, while, on the contrary,
the male crab remains in the waters
of Maryland.
Fishermen have for several years
been catching these female crabs by
dredging during the winter months,
and this has resulted in grave injury
to the crab industry.
"The shad industry of the Chesa-
peake Bay has also been so lessened
that several of the hatcheries have
been closed. This is caused largely
by the catching of shad during the
spawning season near the mouth of
the bay, which prevents the shad
from reaching the fresh waters for
spawning. BY disregard of conser-
walton and wasteful methods, this
industry, meaning much to the fish
erman as we'll as the consumer, nc
longer furnishes employment to the
same number of persons and the
supply is nowhere normal"
Representative Linthicum's bill
proposes to place under control OF
the Department of Commerce all fish
that travel from one water or State
to another, so that no State can be
destructive of an industry so as to
affect other sections. Mr.. Linthi-
cum says Maryland can never ex-
pect to enjoy it's former seafCod
prosperity and prestige SO long as
Virginians are permitted to destroy
the fishing industry, or vice versa.

FIRST TELEPHONE LINE In

Erected AT Vinegar Hill-Reid's
Butter Worker Also Originated
At the Hill.

Colora, Md, 2-2-1921
Dear Editor OF Midland Journal:
Some few days ago I received
letter from my lifelong friend J. A.
Roman and you may be sure that
was ever glad to hear from him, for
he always writes an interesting let
ter. Among other things that he
wished to know, if remembered
when and where the first telephone
was established in Cecil county. If
did, would write it up and send
it to the Midland Journal or to him
or both, so 1 decided to send it to
kboth.
In 1876 Taylor Nesbitt conducted
a wheelwright shop at Vinegar Hill;
and VIM. H. Moore and Harvey T.
Brown were operating a dry goods
and grocery store in the building
now occupied by the Misses Garvin
Sometime in that summer Mr.. Mes
bitt and Mr.. Moore went to Philadel-
phia together to take in the sights
of the Centennial and while looking
around for wonder sights, Nesbitt
saw Bells telephone in one of the
buildings. He looked it over, and
when he and Moore came home they
started out to rig phone" of there
own. They made the wire out of
cotton wrapping Irvine that extend
ed from Nesbitt's shop to the store.
Mr.. Nesbitt made two receivers, Zone
for each end of the line) out of tin
cans, (pint size) covering them with
dried bladder, and they found when
finished that the job was success,
for message could be plainly heard
at either. end of line; in fact in any
part of either room. Well, every
thing was going along fine, until one
some lady customers in the store;
there came a loud laugh over the
phone" which was quickly follow
ed by perfect avalanche of cuss
words entirely unfit for ladies to
hear. 1t confused Mr.. Moore very
much and on a repetition of the dis
order he just demolished the re-
ceiver at his end of line. 1t was
found out after that some of the un-
godly ones went into the shop dur
ing Nesbitt's absence and took their
chance to send some language over
that "phone" that was never seen in
the Rihla Tho hrokan raoaivpr was
replaced and Nesbitt invented a stop
key. So Mr.. Roman and l contend
that the first telephone line in Cecil
county or perhaps in Maryland was
that one at Vinegar Hill.
Taylor Nesbitt was more than an
ordinary man in his line. His
brother Robert, who kept herd of
cows, and made butter, went into
Taylor's shop one day and asked
him If he could not invent and make
him a hand butter worker. Yes,
Taylor said, can draw a draft for
you Bob, for what you want, if you
will get some one to make it for
you, am too busy to fool with it.
Robert got the drawing and went |
up to Oxford Fair and there fell in |
with Reid and explained to him Tay- |
lor's idea of the butter worker. MIR. |
Reid patented the idea and today |
Reds butter worker is ON sale at |
all the dairy supply houses.
Yours &c,
