LET'S PUT THE SPIDERS
nIHT on DIICINESS

Mark Twain once edited a newspaper
in Missouri. One of his subscribers
wrote Mark that he had found a
spider in his paper and wanted to
know whether it meant good or bad
luck. Mark replied:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good luck
nor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking yer our paper
to see which merchant is not adver-
Using, so that he can go to that store
and lead a life of undisturbed peace
ever afterwards"
Admitting that Mark Twain's letter
wasn't one of his jokes, how many
spiders could we accommodate today in
the usual town?
Let's put spiders out of business,
along with flies and mosquitoes.

USE WATER TO WASH MUD
OFF CUTTER BAR OF MOWER

In some parts of the South the
owe is not started until after
the dew is off on account of trou-
BILE caused by mud clOgging the
knife. his mud is caused by the
crawfish chimneys mixing with
the dew from the grass. After
the dew is off. the dry dirt does
not do much damage. One large
hay-grower keeps a barrel of wat
err and several quart bottles in the
field that is being moved. When
the mud begins to dry and clog
the knife, tho mower is taken to
the water barrel and drive in a
circle while in gear. and water is
poured from the bottle on the
knife and the mud is soon all
washed out. This practice allows
a full days moving. 1T is one of
the suggestions contained in

and ended in New York. The ship
was built for the United States Ship

Two hundred and fifty members of
the American Legion, headed by
Franklin D'Olier, former national com
mander, and representing every state
and every branch of service, will sail
for France August 3 on a pilgrimage
to the former battle zone of the world
war.
The pilgrimage is at the instance of
President Millerand, who on behalf
of the French Government, invited the
American Legion to send a represen-
tative delegation of former service
men to attend the unwilling of the
Flirey monument and to participate
in a series of events planned especial
ly for the Americans.
The Flirey monument at Flirey,
France, is a tribute of the citizents of
that town and Lorraine to the valor of
the American troops who delivered
their soil from German occupation.
Flirey is in the old Toul sector and
once "a the regimental headquarters
of several American divisions.
A replica of the Flirey monument
was presented recently to President
Harding by Ambassador Jusserand,
who at the same time transmitted
President Millerand's invitation to the
American Legion through it's nation
al commander, John G. Emery. Be-
cause of stress of Legion matters in
this country, Mr.. Henry will not go
to France with the Pilgrimage, hav-
ing selected Mr.. D'Olier for the lead
ership.

In another column, Hon. Ro.
bert Grain offers an opportunity
I'd our farmers to improve their
cattle through breeding to regis
tered short horn bulls. Mr..
Grain has upon bis farms in
Charles county the finest herd of
cattle to be found in the State.
II is easy for him to dispose of
every bull upon his farm at more
than three times the price he is
offering them to the farmers Of
Charles and st. Mary's counties.
But his mate desire to aid South
ern Maryland prevails, and he
makes his offer from a public
spirited rather than a financial
motive. In these days of low
priced tobacco, our farmers need
to turn their attention to stock
and other lines of agriculture.
1t costs no more to raise a short
horn beef than it does to raise a
scrub. The former doubles the
latter in weight, and accordingly
in profit. Any wise farmer will
avail himself of the opportunity
offered by Mr.. Grain. We regret
he has but twenty bulls to offer,
but this number will tend to start
a few of our farmers along right
lines, and others will profit by
their example.

ARE THE JAP ANESE

Not II You Judge Them By
Their Telephones, Says
Julian Street

Although the Western World has be-
gun to take for granted that the Jap
anese have reached an enviable posi-
ton In the world because Of an alleged
efficiency In all matters, a close inspec-
ton of actual facts shows UP the Jap
Is almost childish. Writing for Nc
Clure's Magazine in an article entitled,
"Are the Japanese Etficient?" Julian
Street, noted traveller and writer. gives
many instances of stupid Japanese in
efficiency, particularly as to tele-
graphs, telephones and transportation.

there is only saved from being as ter

the lack Of subterranean features.
"But II is In all matters having to

"It is like opera bouffe. Though the
demand for new telephones far exceeds
the supply, the government makes no
appreciabie effort to remedy the situa-
ton. Every year an absurdly small
number Of lines is added to the exist

among those who have applied for
them. Thus, II a man be lucky in the

State Reorganization

Governor Ritchie's plan to re-
organize, reconstruct and CONSOLE
date the various executive and
administrative departments of
the State Government has now
assumed definite shape. The sur
vey of the State departments as
now constituted has been COM
pleted and with it there has been
submitted a tentative plan Of re-
construction, whereby the eighty
five agencies or units that now
comprise the State organization
will be consolidated into twelve
departments, each of which will
have supervision over one or
more bureaus, the latter covering
the entire field of State activity.
Undoubtedly many abuses and
much waste of money and energy
have accompanied the tendency
in recent years to create commits
sions, many of them composed of
three members, when it is a well
recognized principle that the best
results are obtained under a
single administrative or executive
head. Quoting from the report
on the present system: THE
multitude Of executive agencies
in the State not only tends to re-
suit in duplication of effort and
to involve the State in too great
an administrative or overhead ex-
pense. but also makes it exceed
ingly difficult for the public and
the General Assembly to compre-
bend the present structure. Citi-
zens desiring to take up matters
with the State Government are
bewildered. An organization
made up of eighty~five units en-
gagged in administering the ex-
ecutive functions of the State can
not only lay no claim to simplicity
but cannot be properly controlled.
Adequate supervision of the ac-
tivities of all of these agencies
by a single individual, the Cover
nor, is a physical impossibility."
Governor Ritchie's next step
will be to submit the plan Of re-
organization to a carefully select
ed commission of representative
Maryland men, who will study it
carefully and then recommend to
him the plan that, in their judg-
ment, is most suitable for sub
mission to the General Assembly
of 1922.
On this commission every coun-
ty in the State is represented by
its ablest men. When one reads
the list of those whom the Gov
ernor has selected big men for
a big job-he is at once impress
ed with the Governors sense of
the Importance of the work in
hand and of his determination to
trust it to none but the best minds
of the State.
For St. Mary's he has selected
DR.. f. F. Greenwell and Hon.
Joseph A. Coad, and upon their
selection he and the State at large
are to be congratulated. Both
are possessed of the requisite
ability, are staunch advocates of
the application of business princi-
Piles to State affairs, and each Of
them may be relied upon for
frrnk and fearless expression Of
his opinion of the details of the
new plan.
