Another year just ended,

Fresh my love shall ever be,
For as long as there is memory
I shall always think of thee.

tifully carved, covered with silk dam
ask, supported by % glass pillars. and
surmounted by richly carved and
gilt canopy from which crimson cur
tains with fringe and tassel were sus-
pended.
In his advertisement he claimed !:
This bed is magnetico- electric. In a
nelghboriEg closet is placed a cylinder

admission to see the bed. To sleep in
it cost f5G $3.50. Later the rate was
reduced to f25 (SI25). Graham was a
skillful stage-manager and made a lot

Three Boys Won Prizes for e.
ficiency in Judging Value of
Farm Animals.
OLDEST OF The YOUTHS IS II
Boys Learned That Fat May Be Added
to Cattle and Hogs Without Profit
Will Attend the English
Royal Stock Show.

College Park, Md.-Because Warren
Rice, Joseph Glackin and George Wor-
rilow of Cecil county, Maryland,
learned that dairy COW may produce
milk and no money, that beef cattle
may increase In weight without in
creasing in worth, that hogs may add
fat without adding profits and that
sheep may grow wool without growing
in value, they were given a free trip
to Europe to find out what the Old
World has accomplished In the efficient
breeding and management of live
stock.
They carry round-trlp tickets to Liv-
erpool, complimentary tickets to the
English Royal Stock show at Cam
bridge, numerous letters inviting them
to visit some of England's famous es-
tates and what they have left of $115
in prize money.
Warren Rice is seventeen years old,
Joseph Glackin Is fifteen and George
Worrilow comes right between with the
handy age Of sixteen. They are all
farm boys, raised on Cecil county
farms, and the dairy calf, the baby
beef, the gamboling lamb and the
squealing porker may be said to have
been part Of the atmosphere of their

High Temperatures Favor Crops.

Washington. - High temperatures
and abundant sunshine were declared
by the weather bureau in its weekly
weather and crop review to have been
generally favorable for crop growth,
cultivation and harvesting throughout
the country.
Exceptions to the generally favora-
BILE conditions were noted by the bu-
reau in the extreme Northwest, where
it was too wet, in the district from the
lake region eastward where the nights
were rather cool and in many regions
from the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
westward, where there was no need Of
additional rain.
Spring wheat generally made good
progress with beneficial rains in North
Dakota. Rain, however, was needed
in Minnesota and some parts of South
Dakota.
The crop deteriorated or made only
poor progress in Iowa for the same
reason, and in most Rocky mountain
and far northwestern districts, where
not irrigated, the same damage was
reported.
Rain was needed, according to re-
ports, in many parts of the corn belt,
including western and northern por-
tions of Iowa, central Illinois, north
central and western Nebraska, and
the greater part of Indiana. Rain
helped the crop in eastern Kansas,
eastern Nebraska and Missouri.

However, If the navy is cut from
$4,000 to $4,000, as provided in the
naval appropriation bill, the enlisted
compliments of the battleships will
have to be reduced further. for 1t is
impossible to put single ship of
this type out of commission without
a tremendous loss Of power. De-
stroyers In active commission will have

No type Of ship, except the SUBJ

The reduction In the upkeep forces will
mean that the $50 odd destroyers now
wasting away will be augmented.
This waste will have to be made good
In the near future; the conditions of

However, the reduction will not be

With Latest Additions United
States Is Still $500 Officers
Behind Treaty Strength.
SHIPS ARE NOW UNDERMINED
Young Annapolis Graduates Will Ma.
teriaiIy Help Destroyer Force
Many Destroyers Now With
but Single Officer Aboard.

Washington.-The graduation of the
class OF 1922 Of the Naval academy re-
lieves a very trying situation relative
to our officer personnel question. Last
year there were approximately 1900
officers, including reserve officers on
active duty. But the first of this year
brought about the return of the reserve
oncers to Inactive status. AS this
| affected close 10 500 officers, our serv-
Ice up to the time Of the graduation
| consisted Of only 1000 regulars.
At the same time the British navy
had In active service about 1900 Off
GERS, and the japanese more than
o,ooO. These figures are very lmpor-
tant. We are supposed to be 40 per
cent more powerful than Japan, yet
we have 1000 less than their compile
ment OF officers. We were supposed
to be equal to Great Britain, yet we
lacked 5000 officers of their total.
Since that time the British officer
personnel has been reduced to ap-
pr0Ximately 9,2OO OF all ranks. But
still, it Is to be seen, we are l,SOO OFF,
''''hh Jul putty ue-
spite the graduation of 400 new and
inexperienced but well grounded en-
signs. Our officer strength relative to
Japan, based on the SOB ratio estab-
lished at the armament conference,
should be 11,200 for America to 5000
for Japan.
And so, 1t is apparent that In spite
OF ufnrinl or
$500 officers behind our treaty
strength.
Glad to Get New Officers.
The navy is very glad to get these
new officers. Since the reserves have
returned TO inactive service we have
mad hard time maintaining even 80
per cent of the navy which we retain
under the various treaties. So soon
as their few months of leave Is I'D
these young men will go to their as
signed stations, on the battleships. the
gunboats, the destroyers and the shore
stations.
For some time we have been forced
to maintain destroyers in reserve
commission with but a single officer
aboard Not only this, but some
destroyers have had to be maintained
without a single commissioned officer
In their cabins-with petty officers
commanding. Such condition has
not existed In any other navy in the
world for period of twenty-five years.
1t Will now be possible to reassign our
destroyer officers to do away with this
condition and to bolster up the off
Ger strength of the forces as whole.
Our battleship forces, our first line
of defense, has had but so per cent of
its officer strength for some time. By

Go to Europe to
Study Livestock

1t was agricultural club work, con-
Quoted by the University Of Maryland
extension service In cooperation with
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, however, that first taught the
Maryland boys to extract the nefarious
secrets from unproductive animals.
They soon discovered that some of
their best friends among the barnyard
tribe were merely the recipients Of
charity instead of faithful servants,
as they had supposed.
The truth became more and more ap-
parent as they Travelled about In their
own and neighboring counties in COM
pany with their county agent, w. G.
snarr, who was coaching them for the
state dairy cattle judging contest at
the Timonium state fair They learned
TO note the difference between the
bovine eyes and heads, shapes and
sizes of body, textures of skin, udders
ana milk veins and other characteris-
tics which distinguish the COW that has
been bred for generations for milk
production. They became expert in
rating one fine COW above another fine
COW and in giving reasons for their de-
cislons.
When the state contest was held, in
September, each of the three Cecil
county boys went home with cash
awards Of from SIS to $25 and pure
bred bull calf, in addition to a loving
cup offered as team prize.
Following their experience in match
Ing wits with other farm boys the three
young Marylanders were polished up
and sent to the National Dairy show ut
st. Paul in October to represent their
state In the Junior dairy cattle judging
contest. Here, in the dust of the judg-
Ing rings, they met boys from all parts
of the United States and came away
with fifth place. Warren Rice, how
ever, did better than his teammates
and ran up the highest individual score
In the contest.
Win Cash Awards.
From st. Paul the team went, in easy
stages, to Atlanta, picking up along the
way interesting bits Of information
that came in handy on October 20,
when the Marylanders again went into
action against 13 other state teams.
In this contest the boys were re-
quired to pass judgment on dairy cat
tie, beef cattle, hogs and sheep and
to give oral reasons for their selec-
tons They did It so well that the
judges handed them Sis in cash
awards and pinned to them the big
prize of a trip to Europe which was
offered by the Southeastern Fair asso-
ciation.
Now they are in England, with six
weeks of travel before them. The prize
they Won includes the expenses of
County Agent Snarr, who trained
them; f. G. Jenkins, state boys club
