Pc it Resolved, That this Grange put
on record its deep sense of loss in the
going away" of our fellow member
NJ. A. +. Galbreath.
Nj. Galbreath was "a charter member
of oul Grange and always manifested
Il great interest IN its affairs. For q
number of years he was regular at
tendant upon our meetings and parti-
cipatcd in most helpful way In the
discussions and work of the Order. Al
though on account of failing health
he wa, not able to maintain this active
part in the Oranges life during the
past year, yet his interest in It's wei
fare did not abate, US was shown by
his frequent inquiries as to our pro
ceedings.
We shall greatly miss his presence
and wise counsel at our meetings, but
We bow in submission to the will Of
tn" Heavenly Father.
70 Mrs. Galbreath and their son, Mr..

EVEN Up THE TOMATO RISK
Aldino, Md, March 4, 1922.

Aldlno, Md, March \, 1922.
Editors The Egis:
Is the price at which futures have
opened at this season of the year fair
price on which to base the price farm
erS shall receive for their tomatoes for
the coming season? The speculative
character of the future prices puts the
entire burden of risk on the grower.
This h the lowest possible price the
Gamer always sets to pay for the
farmers tomatoes. Why is not the
grower, entitled to figure his cost and
to add Il profit just as the Gamer does !?
Figures taken from all quarters of
the county and given expression from
our County Agents office average the
cot per acre Of growing tomatoes at
$50. Basing this at $50 Blu. per acre,
which is conceded a good average yield
for Hartford County, at 36c shows u net
loss OF $3.50 on the acre. Is there
any good reason why the growers
should present the Gamer this amount
for the privilege of agonizing all sum
mcr In a tomato field?
II he is 80 fortunate as to raise the
300 bushels claimed his profit then is
only $40 per acre.
We're there any guarantee of such
yield we would not hesitate to 90
into it for the zoe or 35c offered on
cvSn less, but il is too one sided and
We are asked to take all the risk. We
are perfectly willing to cooperate to
the end that each shall have a fair but
no; an eNoIbitant profit. Then, Mary.
land need have no fear of Indiana
Utah or Califoria competition, but
give Us some motive for the big in
creased yieldF.
We don't want to scrap, all we ask
Is u square deal and then we will get
down to business in the old time way
Ih' time has come when all should
realize the farmer should have a fan
price for his products II he is expected
to keep on producing. II he doesn't
then some classes are going to suffer
and don't believe il Is going to be
himself 30 much as those depending on
him.

COMMISSIONERS FIX ROAD PAY
AT TWENTY CENTS

At the meeting of County Commits
SONS held on Monday the board
voted to fix the pay of road workers
at 20 cents an hour. Last year the
road men received % cents. The
drop is in accord with declines in pri-
vata life and will meet with the gen
eral approval Of taxpayers.
The resignation of Edward J. Chap
man as constable was accepted.
The Board voted to advertise that
farmers will be instructed TO turn
in lists Of property sold with the name
of purchasers so that il can be prompt
ly placed ON the tax books. This poll
cy has long been advocated by The Aegis
for under the present system thou
sands of dollars worth of property are
lost to taxation for considerable pei
iOd.
A delegation was before the DO ard
uIging ii to recommend the improve
ment of the road from Rutlcdge to
SCaItr'S Corner.

PHOSPHO-GERM HAS NOT PROV
EN- IT'S MERIT

The Maryland Experiment Station has
received number Of inquiries concern
ing the merit Of phospho- germ, ma
terial that is being sold in this State
not a. "a fertilizer but as a soil vitali-
ger. This material has not been IL
censed by the State Chemist since the
Agent, selling the phospho germ claim
that their product does not come I'M
der the provision Of the Stat" Fertiii-
ger Law.
The Maryland Agricultural Expert
ment Station has not had a chance to
test out the merits of this new product
but the Virginia Department Of Agrl'
culture has found that the total analy-
sis OF the phOsphogerm- gives III of
W available nitrogen, g u ~ OF
potash. and a. OF va of available phos-
phOric acid. In carrying on 4 checked
demonstrations with potatoes total
yield of potatoes receiving $40 pounds
Of 5-s-3 fertilizer yielded HOS bush.
els. The average total yield from 96G
pound. Of phospho germ was b9.2 bu
per acre. The North Carolina Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture bulletin for May
gives Inv dnulS HiN VI PHpSphp BNi'
showing that the material consists
mainly Of finely ground rock phosphate
and dried organic matter. Al the Vir'
GINA Experiment Station the phospho'
germ has been used on several crops
including potatoes, spinach, and cab
bage and results Of all the work with
out one exception were unfavorablc
to the phospho-germ. 49,.
/ Under date Of February 20, 1922
DR.. johnson, Director Of the Expert
ment Station writes that the bulletin
| issued by the Department Of Agricul'
ture, outlining the work Of the phos'
pho germ is absolutely fair and impair
tial. The last paragraph is especially
important In view Of the fact thai
phospho- germ agents are making
claims OF favorable results for theiI
product. The above is given for thu
information of farmers of Harfor'

WEEKS ASSA|LS
 'FL|VVER KING
Cabinet Member Brands Ford Statements in Interviews as
 'Unwarranted Criticism

WASHINGTON. Jan. F. Secre. tary Weeks, in a formal statement today, described as ''unwarranted criticism" the assertions of Henry Ford that action on the proposal of the Detsoit manufacturers for pur' chase and lease of the Muscle Shoals. Ala, nitrate and power projects had been unnecessarily delayed by the war department.
 The war secretary, in his state ment, added that Ford, during their conference here last Saturday, made no complaint as to delay and gave the secretary to understand that he would make no public statement on the conference. Weeks statement was brought forth by charges of un- necessary delay in declarations by Ford prior to his departure from Washington after the conference.
 Secretary Weeks statement said:
 'Yes, have noticed the comments made by MT. Ford relating to his of fer for the Muscle Shoals plant. The facts are that after MT. Ford left my office, he sent his secretary to me tc say he did not wish to make any statement to the press, and asked that I make whatever statement seemed necessary, relating to our in. terview. This I did. The statement in effect, was that I proposed to transmit MT. Ford's offer to con. gress, the only action I could take, as even Mir. Ford knows I cannot sell real estate without authority of con gross. and that nothing could come of his offer, involving an appropria tion as it does, without action of con gross.
 Apparently by the time MT. Ford reached his hotel, he had forgotten the message he had sent me and, fl I am correctly quoted. indulged ir unjust and unwarranted criticism. regret MT. Ford, by this action, seems to have put himself in the class o those who go to the press with that kind of sentiment rather than saying it to the individual concerned"

CLAIM BRITISH
 USING SLAVES
English Legations in Abys- ( sinia Accused of Keeping
 Subjects in Bondage

LONDON, Jan. 17.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-That Abyssinia Is the last home of open slavery; that in it's capital, Addis Adeba, there are more slaves than free men, and that the British legation there is full of slaves owned by legation servants, are as- sertions made by two correspondents of the Westminster Gazette. who late ly have been in Abyssinia. The news paper today publishes the first article by the correspondents, detailing con- ditions in Abyssinia.
 The correspondents assert that Of the slaves alleged to be in the Brit ish legation, many are British sub- jects, having been captured by slave traders in British territory. They de- clare that not only are the slaves who enter the legation compound not in stantly set free, but that if they have escaped from their owners, the latter can enter the compound to re-capture them.
 The article declares France, Great Britain and Italy, having bound them selves under the arms convention of 1919 not to supply munitions to the Abyssinians, it is now only America who is importing or seeking to inn port, arms into Abyssinia-arms des- tined to assist the slave traders.
 At present, the article continues, there is large consignment of Amer ican cartridges and automatic rifles at Jibuti Ca French port on the Gulf of Aden), awaiting the consent of the French authorities for it's transporta- tion into the interior, and it is believ- ed that the French. not being much in love with the convention of 1919, and fearing an incident" with the American government, which probab- 1 ly knows nothing about affairs, may shortly give their consent
 The correspondents describe con. ditions in Abyssinia as anarchic. The country has fallen into corruption and | decay. Brigands abound There is 1 no sanitation. Travelling in the in terior is dangerous, but any trader who dares tell of conditions would be blacklisted and probably expelled. In an editorial, the newspaper sug-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-Severe shocks felt in many sections of Los Angeles tonight shattering window glass in some quarters and shaking frome buildings in nine distinct shocks between 7:10 and S:30 o'clock agitated many residents. Many be- iieved them earthquakes, while others attributed them to big gun practice of four dreadnaughts of the fleet.
 Navy officers at San Pedro CLOS Angeles harbor), said the battleships were too far from shore for any con- cussion due to their guns to be felt. At Venice and Long Beach, more than 20 miles closer to the dreadnaug hts than this city, no shocks were felt.
 The shocks were of such extent in residential sections here that from several places it was reported that residents left their houses and con- gregated in the streets. Cracks in clustering were reported from some residences.
 At Santa Barbara, about 100 miles north of here, tremors var1ousiy ar- tributed to firing of big guns of the Pacific fleet and to earthquakes were

FIND ROPES AND CAPS ON BODIES War Department Data Shows Two Soldiers Buried With
 Nooses Around Necks BURIAL. PLAN ASSAILED Watson Attacks Interment of War Heroes in Plots Next
 to Those of Murderers
BURIAL PLAN ASSAILED

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. After presentation of testimony by way o1 denial, war department records, sub .mitted today to the senate commit tee Investigating charges that Amer ican soldiers had been hanged with out trial in France, showed that on the bodies of two men dug up in the cemetery at Bazoilles, ropes and black caps in which they were put to death had not been removed.
 Edwin E. Lamb of Hartford, Conn. a colonel overseas, testified that in the case of one of the men, the hody was Dlaced quickly, in coffin. and so far as he recalled. the rope and cap were not removed. But in both cases, other witnesses declared, they were removed before the bodies were prepard for shipment home.
 Senator Watson, Democrat, Geor gia, whose charges concerning illegal executions led to the investigation attacked the burial of men hanged for ''unmentionable crimes" alongside oi soldiers who fell in battle. Asking a witness if white. men and negroes were buried in the same part of tn, cemetery, he was told that they were that all were soldiers.
 Taking up the charges of former service men that bodies shipped here from France were handled in helter skelter fashion, officers and men at tached to the graves registration ser vice declared there was no founda ton for such assertions. and insisted that not one body was brought home until identity had been positively es tablished.
 John Sebastian, sailor of Jackson vile, Fla, told how, when in a pri son at Gievres, he saw the bodies o two negroes lying face down on ths ground and was informed by tht guard that two negroes had beer lynched. He was unable, however to say whether the bodies were those of the men put to death by a soldier mob.

LARGER RESERVE BOARD FAVORED Senate Votes, s to 9, For Ap- pointment of Member to
 Represent Agriculture HARDING O.K.'S CHANGE Power of Congress to Decide on Bank Construction Is
 Also Given Approval
HARDING O.K.'S CHANGE

WASHINGTON, Jan. r. The first step to bring about farmer rep resentation on the federal reserve board was taken late today by the senate i'll the passage of the Kellogg Smith compromise bill increasing the boards appointive membership from five to six, and providing that the agricultural interests shall have a spokesman among them.
 The vote was 63 to g. Seven of those who opposed the proposition were Republicans and two Democrats. They were:
 Pomerene, Ohio, and Williams, Mis-. sissippi, Democrats; Brandegee, Con- necticut; Calder, New York. Edge, New Jersey; Reyes, New Hampshire; 1; Mclean, Connecticut: Moses, New York, Republicans.
 ~ Construction Regulated
 By the bill which constitutes an amendment to the federal reserve act the limited designation of the law is wiped out and instead of the specific provision for the naming of two bank CTS to the board, the statute, if agreed to by the house, will direct the presi. dent, in making appointments, to have due regard to fair represen. tation of the financial, agricultural industrial and commercial interests and geographical divisions of the country" The measure also provides that hereafter no federal reserve bank may enter into a contract for banking homes if their cost is to ex. ceed $250,000 unless the consent oi congress is first given.
 There were many attempts to change the compromise, but all save the amendment restricting construc. tion, by Senator Harris, Democrat Georgia, were killed The agreement on the compromise, which bore the approval not only of all the agricul tural bloc leaders in the senate, but that of President Harding, held throughout.
 Senator Smith,, Democrat, South
