lots of it, together with tact and
lots of that, Mr.. Wythe would
say, Brown, you handle that.
And then one day, the direc-
tors met unoficially and decided
TO FIRE the superintendent of
No. 2 Mill. Brown didn't hear of
this until the day after the letter
had gone. "What do you think
oft, Browni" asked Mr.. Wythe.
Brown said, "That's all right.
The letter won't be delivered
until tomorrow morning, and
I'll get him on the wire and have
him start East tonight. Then
I'll have his stenographer send
the letter back here and I'll de-
stroy it before he sees it.
The others agreed, "That's the
thing TO do.
Brown knew the business he
was in. He knew the men he
worked with. He had a whole
lot of sense, which he apparently
used without consciously sum- (
moning his judgment to his assis-
rance. He seemed TO think good
sense.
Brown is gone, and men are
now applying for Browns job.
Others are asking who is going
10 get Browns job--bright, am
bilious young men, digni6ed
older men.
Men who are not the son of
Browns mother, nor the hus-
band OF Browns wife, nor the
product of Browns childhood.
men who never suffered Browns
sorrows nor felt his joys, men
who never loved the things that
Brown loved nor feared the
things he feared-are asking for
Browns job.

BRowN is gone, and many men
in the trade are wondering who
is going to get Browns job.
There has been considerable
speculation about this. Browns
Job was reputed TO be a good job.
Browns former employers, wise,
grey-eyed men, have had to sit
still and repress amazement as
they listened TO bright, ambi-
tious young men and dignihed
old ones seriously apply for
Browns job.
Brown had a big chair and
wide, Aat-topped desk covered
with a sheet of glass. Under the
glass was map of the United
States. Brown had a salary of
thirty thousand dollars year.
And twice a year Brown made
"trip to the coast" and called
on every one of the firms dis
tributors.
He never tried TO sell any
thing. Brown wasn't exactly in
the sales department. He visited
with the distributors, called on
a few dealers, once in a while
made a little talk TO a bunch of
statesmen. Back at the Office he
answered most of the important
complaints, although Browns
Job wasn't to handle complaints.
Brown wasn't in the credit
department either, bur vital
questions of credit usually got
to Brown, somehow or other.
and Brown would smoke and
talk and tell a joke, and untwist
his telephone cord and tell the
credit manager what to do.
Whenever Mr.. Wythe, the
impulsive little president, work
ing like beaver, would pick up
bunch of papers and peer into
a particularly troublesome and
messy subject, he had a way Of
saying, "What does Brown saw
What does Brown say' What
the hell does Brown say'-Well.
why don't you do it, them"
And that was disposed.

Might BE Most Dangerous Radicals
How can we tell who they are"
said one of the dummy runners. "Sure,
they may include persons deported as
dangerous radicals from the United
States or they may be radicals run
ming away from their own home coun-
tries. How can we tell? We ask no
questions. We are paid so much a
head and that is all we require"
yes agreed one of the customs
men in Florida, at is quite possible
that a number of communists, official
and unofficial, are getting into Amer
lea this way. It Is also possible that
the United States has deported some Of
the very persons who are returning on
the booze boats. But we have no proof
of it. We need small fast boats that

Apparently all the aliens being
smuggled into America do not go
from nor through Cuba. The Immi-
grafton Bureau in Washington Is al
legged to have received reports to the
effect that there have been several
instances where large ocean going
freighters have anchored off the
Florida coast--particularly the west
coast-long enough to permit several
forty, fifty and sixty foot power boats
to lay alongside and take off aliens.
How many of these instances have
been reported the writer does not
know. but he was informed by an off,
cial obviously in position to know that
such reports have been made.
1t seems fitting enough to close this
article with the account of the appeal

but he is willing to work as a laborer
while in Cuba marking time. Cuba
wants Chinese labor, and Cuba has
plenty of it. One of the first surprises
the visitor receives is when he OBJ
serves Chinese instead of Cuban labor
in the cane fields and even as near
Havana as Marianao, where the great
American Hotel Almondares and the
beautiful Cuba American Jockey Club
track are located, not to mention the
Casino and some OF the most magnifi-
cent residences on the Western Hem
isphere. It Is explained that Chinese
labor is steadier, more efficient. more
reliable more intelligent and less
given to larger wage demands than
the Cuban. The underlying fact Is
that the Chinese is perfectly willing
to earn n mere livelihood while in
Cuba. The main idea is eventually to
get to America.
A perfectly natural question arises.
why. you ask, does the American
bound Chinese come to Cuba? Why
not leave his ship in Mexico or Cen
trail America?

To get back to the Italian. Once
the Italian, who rarely is received by
moneyed . relations, gets into the
Tampa district, he is taken in charge
by a padrone. 1t is this padrone who
had arranged to have his passage from
Cuba to Florida paid. Usually this
costs the padrone SIS. There is but
one way for the immigrant to repay
the money and that is to work for the
padrone. That far and no farther is
your correspondent able to go. Here
the facts given him by the dummy
runners are exhausted. They do not
care what becomes Of the italian after
the padrone receives him. They have
been paid for their job and have no
time TO branch out into sociology or
economics. But 1t is not uninteresting
to speculate upon the future of the

try that he is given to believe prom

APPEALS FROM DECISION OF

lent Sunday evening near Mt. St.
Iary's College, Mr.. E. Carbaugh, of
Catoctin Furnace, was taken before
Justice J. H. Stokes of Emmitsburg.
lie was fined $25 and costs. An ap-
peal was taken to the Circuit Court.
The testimony at the hearing show
ed that Albert Harbaugh, of Highfield
was driving car in the direction of
Emmitsburg when he met the machine
driven by Carbaugh, travelling toward
Thurmont. Harbaugh's automobile
was on the right side of the road and
the car operated by Carbaugh cut a.
cross to the wrong side of the high
way, it was said, and side-swiped the
Harbaugh machine, breaking the front
left wheel, ripping away the running
board and damaging both tenders on
the left side of the car.
The sheriff's office was notified and
Sunday night Deputies Smith and
Bartgis went to Catoctin Furnace and
arrested Carbaugh and took hSn< be-
fore the Emmitsburg magistrate.

IN u. S. COURT

The financial difficulties of Amman,
Horner and Company, bankers, En-
mitsburg will be aired in the United
States district court in the near future.
Judge John C. Rose late Monday af-
ternoon issued an order giving the
banking firm until December 23rd in
which to file reply to a petition ask
ing that they be adjudged involuntary
bankrupts.
The petition was filed with the court
by Newman & Newman, Leslie M. Co.
blentz and Leo Weinberg, attorneys
for Albert B. Close, administrator;
Mary E. Martin and Ersa S. Six.
The application for bankruptcy was
based upon the receivership proceed
ings in the circuit court at Frederick,
the petition pointing out that Reno s..
Harp had been appointed receiver f0S
the banking firm by a decree of the
local court. The application for bank
ruptcy was necessary in order to give
the U. S. court jurisdiction. 1t is the
aim of the petitioner to have trustee
in bankruptcy appointed by the Fed
eral court to take charge of the af-
iairs and property of the firm.

CORN EXPORTS INCREASE

Exports of corn from the United
States for the first eight months of
1922 exceeded the exports for the en-
tire year 1921 by 2,488,743 bushels,
according to figures compiled by the
United States Department of .Agricul-
ture. The total exports for 1921 were
128,974,505 bushels and for the first
eight months of 1922 131 ,463, ,248 BUSH
els. These figures do not include corn
meal and corn flour, of which 452, 2,766
barrels-the equivalent of 1,811,064
bushels of corn-were exported during
the first eight months of 1922.
Nearly half the exports of corn from
the United States in 1921-58, ,582, ,806
bushels-went to Canada. Much of
this corn, however, was later shipped
to Europe, Canadian statistics show
ing that only 100000 bushels were
imported from the United States for
consumption.
The Netherlands was the largest
market, except Canada, for American
corn in 1921, having received 17,843,-
AGA bushels. The next largest mar
kets in order of receipts were United
Kingdom, Germany and Mexico.
