SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS
Colonel AinswOrth, Farm Owner, Ar.
CUES Against Plan Approved by
Recent Farm Conference.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Two real live
issues have been made prominent in
Iowa in recent days. These relate to
a restriction of corn acreage the COM
ing season and the burning of corn
for fuel during the winter. The farm
bureau has organized for a reduction
of at least ne-fourth in corn acre
age, but there is much objection to
this plan. Farmers are not inclined
to make it unanimous. Col Leon W..
Ainsworth, of Des Moines, the owner
of several good farms, voices the
sentiment held by many when he
makes vigorous protest against it
Cutting corn production is not
the remedy for the present financial
troubles OF, Iowa farmers" Aims
worth said today Increased facili-
ties of distribution and a method of
financing those, in need of food must
be worked out. If all the bins in
Iowa and the whole surplus food pro-
ducing territory of middle America
were scraped clean and the grain
properly distributed, the world would
hardly get square meal.
"Thoughtless people are urging
the burning of corn for fuel. We
must not do this. If we missed one
years crop, starvation would follow.
In many places around the world to-
day people are starving. The thing
to do, instead of talking curtailment.
of production and burning of corn, is
to work out means of getting our
surplus to the centers where it is
needed.
'If America is thru building more
battleships, it is possible to arrive at
some means whereby this battleship
money may be diverted toward the
equitable distribution of foodstuffs
ind the stabilizing of the farming in
ustry."
Col. Ainsworth, who was secretary
f the senate during the last general
ssembly, says it is amusing to hear !,

Hint Worth Remembering

If you are jOurneying through for.
est or over mountains, and you be-
come lost, notice the top branches OF
the hemlock tree or the spruce. The
tops Of these trees tip to the east, and
the moss on these trees always grows
on the north side, so you can be guild
ed either east or north, and thus find
your way.

FEM CROOKS ESCAPE

Daily reports of murders, bank rob-
bsries, train hold-ups, swindles, prison
breaks, and so on through the cate
eory of crimes, big and little, some
times lead one to wonder whether
most criminals escape punishment or
ore caught and made to pay the pen
alty exacted by law. AS a matter of
fact relatively few escape. Fortunate
" for society fate always stacks the
cards against the crook and the per-
centage is almost unbearable, says
Can Francisco Chronicle. No matter
how clever the criminal may be, soon
or or later he overlooGs some essen
,ial detail and right there is where
mixer has been slipped into the deck.
officers of the law may make hun
5red mistakes and still win. The crook
need make but one mistake to lose.
The criminal inevitably plays los
ing game. The odds against his sue
cess are prohibitive. Even if all ques-
tion OF right and wrong could be
swept aside it still would pay thous-
and times over to go straight.

A QUILTING PARTY

A very pleasant day was spent at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Grimes, of Mt. Airy, when she had a
quilting party and invited some
friends to join her. The guests began
to arrive at an early hour and be-
gan as busy as bees with their need
les. About II o'clock they were in
vited to dinner where they all did JUS
tice They again returned to their
work but found it quite a task, but
soon finished the quilt and at 8
o'clock they had it all hemmed and
ready for use. About 4 o'clock they
were invited to supper when the tab
lie was laden with lots of appetizing
things. Among those present were
Mrs. William Gosnell, lively and
gay, was the first to start on the
quilt that day;
Mrs. Clarence Baker also came to
sew, but they all laughed and said
she was very slow;
Mrs. George Grimes, quilter true,
but had to laugh a time or two;
Mrs Chas. Wright marked off the
quilt you know, SO all of our stitches
would be in a straight row;
But her own stitches if you should
just glance, would be so zigzag it
would make your eyes dance;
Mrs. Robert Penn, among us too,
quilted until we were all through.
= Another among us was Mrs. Jesse
Hood were too small to quilt, but they
could;
Mrs. Basil Gosnell, was the Queen,
when she grew tired of quilting,
would play the organ and sing;
Miss Eleanor Ely, another guest, but
did not quilt as much as the rest:
Miss Anna Hood was also a guest,
but did not quilt like the rest;
She enjoyed her supper, I'll not say
why,
Just ask a certain young man who
passed bv;
Miss Katheline Penn and Margaret
Hood wre too small to quilt, byt they
were very good.
Mr.. Charles Wright kept us all
grinning, it was quite a hard task to
keen away from the women;
Mr.. George Grimes thought the
quilting a grand success, so they will
have another don't you guess;
Though he was puzzled and wonder
ed and thought in vain,
How a quilt could be made in a
three piece frame;
Master Ralph and Raymond Grimes
came from school, after learning the
golden rule,
Master Orville Wright came last,
after the Quilters had finished their
task.

WOULD HAVE CANAL MADE
SPEEDWAY FOR AUTOISTS

Cumberland, March 13.-Local mo-
florists are discussing the feasibility
of filling the bed of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal for roadway, now
that it is thought it is to be abandon
ed as a waterway within the next few
years.
1t is thought it may not be operat-
ed this wear, as it is losing PROPOSE
tion and the prospects are not very
bright with the impending coal strike
and the already heavy loss of coal
contracts by Georges Creek operators.
1t is contended that if the canal
bed be filled from bank to bank it
would become the finest low-grade
highway. in America, extending from
Cumberland to Washington. Such a
road would be the autoist's delight,
winding along the valley of the Poto-
mac and eliminating steep grades ans
hills. of the National Highway be-
tween Cumberland and Hancock.
1t would be the key to the South
also. it is said, for tourist traffic
from the West, which would be divert
ed at Harper's Ferry.

My dear Mrs. Shipley:
In reply to your letter of the 18th

The petition states I'VE, the under
signed citizens of Carroll County, Vet
Grams of the World War, and mem
bers of the American Legion"
The reference to members of the
American Legion is an ambiguous
one, and in my opinion, one that was
used to mislead the citizens of Car
roll County, and the public at large.
If that was not the case, then al
most every organization, club, socie
ty, etc, would have been mentioned
in the same manner, for in looking
over the llSt, Hnu tne proportion vi

Use OF NEWSPAPERS.

A good hand at figures has figured
Il out that 100000 newspapers are
sold in the United States every day.
This is five to every sixteen people.
A century ago it required months for
one mart of the world to learn what
the other half had been doing. The
oue half was not much interested in
what the other half was doing or had
done because there was little or no
relation between them and their af-
fairs. Today the world is a small unit,
saws the Illinois State Journal. One
mans affairs are the affairs OF many
other men. What affects one commun-
itv will affect many others. Hence
everv citizen should be able to read
and to understand what he reads.
furthermore, he should be daily
reader OF at least one reliable news
paper that prints the news impartial
". whatever may be its opinion on
subIic questions or on the news that
comes into its Office. The greatest
menace to newspaperdom today is the
newspaper that colors the news or dis
torts group of facts so as to give aid
and support to its personal or poltl-
cal friends or it's own particular
views as to what should be and what
should not be. Editorial opinion is one
thing. The uncolored, unbiased facts
which are news are another.

NEW COTTON EXCHANGE
ACCUSES PROSECUTOR
Says Banton's Office Repre-
senfs NeU York Board.

Albert Massey; counsel for the Amer
ican Cotton Exchange. in the trial yes
terday before Justice Marcus in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court
accused the office of the District Attor-
ney with representing the New York
Cotton Exchange and declining to prose-
cute alleged offenses. The charge
flashed out in tilt with Hugo Wintner
Assistant District Attorney, who is
prosecuting the American Cotton Ex-
change for bucketing. 1t brought a
sharp and indignant denial from the
prosecutor.
Mr.. Massey made his charge when he
had tried unsuccessfully to question
John S. Oliver of the cotton brokerage
firm of Oliver. Houghton & Co. concern
ing transactions with members of the
New York Cotton Exchange. Mr.. Wi,t-
ner interposed an objection to the testi-
mony and Justice Marcus upheld him.
Mr.. Oliver, a director of the American
Cotton Exchange, testified, however,
that his firm had purchased cotton.
often in large quantities, from the New
York Cotton Exchange and held 1t TO
be able to make deliveries" He said
also that he had purchased from the
New York Cotton Exchange ito make
commissions
James Eblin, another member OF the
American Cotton Exchange, and Martin
Goulko testified in defense of the eX-
change and defended their acts as
brokers. They admitted under cross
examination that they had ind'ulged In
cross sales.
The case may go to the jury early
next week
