HEAVY RAINFALL IN
CITY AND ELSEWHERE

In course of the electrical storm
that swept every section OF Anne
Arundel county Letween S and 3
O'Clock last night, bolt of lightning
struck a tenant house on the farm
of former State Senator Frank NJ
Duvall, of st. Margaret's, Third dis
trict. and flames which spread rap
idly soon reduced il to ashes. An
emergency fire call was sent TO the
volunteer firemen of the city. and
q truck was dispatched from the quar-
ters OF the Rescue Hose Company.
but efforts OF the firemen were OF
no avail, as the flames were be-
yond 'subduing by the use OF chemi-
Gals.
Mother And Son Escape
The dwelling was occupied By
Ralph Bowers. and his mother, both
OF whom escaped without injury. The
fire was the second in the ST. Mar
garet's neighborhood from like cause.
A few weeks ago. blaze caused by
lightning destroyed the Marden frame
dwelling house overlooking Mill
Creek, not far from the scone OF last
nights fire.
The storm was severe in some Sec
tions OF the county, but the Duvall
fire is the only item of serious dam
age that has been reported. The hea-
Wy, dark clouds that hung over the
southern and western horizon from
$3.50 in the afternoon gave every in
dication that very severe storm was
in the making. They were wicked
looking clouds that began to roll over
the city on the crest of heavy wind
from the northwest Here In the
city the electrical part OF the storm
was light, but the rain fell in tor
rents for 10 minutes or more.
The storm was followed by gen.
tie, but steady rain, that continued
almost throughout the night. While
the storm was at its height, the
flashes of lightning were almost con-
tinual and the heavens were brilliant
ly illuminated.

NUGGETS FROM SENATOR
COUZENS

The recently appointed senator
from Michigan, Mr.. Couzens, could
scarcely expect to escape the collec-
tors of wise sayings. Especial inter-
est is given his words by reason of
the conditions under which he came
to Office, his experiences and the sue
cess which has attended them. There
are few men who retire early in life
to escape the golden food pouring in
on them, and fewer still who follow
that with success at public service.
1t naturally follows that more i'm
portance is attached to his words
than to those Of the ordinary man.
SO when he declares that his phlos-
cphy has been to let the future take
care of itself, we listen. 1t sounds
reasonable when he says:
you must do what you can the
best you know how each day OBJ
viously, YOU cannot have your mind
absolutely absorbed in what YOU are
doing and at the same time be
worrying Or strategizing about your
own future activities or ambitions
A man must get his reward from his
work. Work itself is the best, the
only reward. The right kind of man,
with the right kind of record, seldom
has to seek position or office. Uusally
the office seeks him.
This is encouraging, likewise this
which he told 3. c. Forbes:
Il would rather take the judgment
OF 10000 average workmen than the
judgment of the 10000 biggest BUSH
ness men in tho United States.
Their judgment on any public ques-
ton is saner and better than the
judgment of The most prominent
business men in the country. Work.
ingmcn are the least selfish of all the
groups there are. Most of the labor
troubles come from labor's leaders,
not from labor itself"
Well. workingmen have votes a.,
we'll as good sense, but on the whole
Mr.. Couzcns may be correct in hrs
estimate. With regard to some ques
tions the judgment Of the business
men ought to be superior by reason
OF their wider experience, but is
their judgment more likely to be
warped by the stress and strain Of
their endeavor? Possibly.

NOW FOR WINTER SPORTS

Real winter weather, this we are
having, just the variety to awaken
interest in the matter of winter
sports. The boy with his new sled
and skates--Christmas was kind to
many Of them this years. by no
means the only individual giving Of
thought and time to this fascinating
subject. There is the individual who
is occupying every spare moment

fellows expense II he may wheedle q
membership as a price for the i'm

victim. however. He has not been
victimized. rather he has been put
in the way of betterment. There are
comparatively few who might not
probably respond to the call Of win-
ter sports.
Many of us here in Maine have not
enjoyed opportunity to comprehend
the extent to which winter sports in
Maine might be developed and with
what profit, not only to the promot-
ers but to the participants as WELL
Those who are revealing the posi-
bilities are public benefactors. Meet
them at least half way. Sec what
we may do to help the work along.
Among these is our townsman, Mr..
w. H. Gannett. He has been over
in Switzerland recently. and, it ap-
pears. has been giving them some
Information respecting the art Of

NOT so BAD A PLACE

New England is not so bad a place
for farming, after all. To make sure
of this Secretary Styles of the New
Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation
has been making a tour of the coun-
try and has come to the conclusion
that the New England farmers are
better off than most of their COM
petitors. He found one farmer in
the West who told him that in 1919
he had an offer Of 100000 for his
farm, had $4,000 in the bank and his
farm we'll stocked. Today he has no
money in the bank and a $4,000
mortgage on the farm which. he
doubts il would sell for the amount
OF the mortgage. He found tenant
. farmer in Texas who one year ago
] had practically nothing, but was able
to get assistance though he is now
$500 worse off than nothing. This
he found to be representative of con-
ditions there. In New England out
side the dairy business and potato
growing, which have been hard hit,
he finds the condition of the farmers
hyperion to that of the West and
South.
Why shouldn't they be better off :?
They are within easy access to the
best markets in all the world; their
competitors of the West and South
are Handicapped by the high freight
rates. We have a good soil here in
New England if it is properly at
tended to. We have facilities for
learning how best to do that if we
will but take advantage of them. The
conditions are unfavorable right now
- when the farmer isn't able to secure
prices for his products proportionate
to those received in most other lines
eof endeavor. But those whose vision
extends beyond their noses realize
such conditions cannot always en-
.dure. When men who have made
success of their business affairs and
are acquainted with agricultural
conditions throughout the country.
men like Mr. Park of the Jefferson
Farms enterprise, see opportunities
and demonstrate the faith that is in
them it is time for the rest of us to
wake up; to ask ourselves whether
we have really learned the ad-
vantages of our soil. if we understand
ways and means flor getting the most
out of it. We are slowly cooperating
to get the products of our farms more
directly and cheaply to the con-
ssumer, altogether too slowly. This
is something greatly needed. Are we
doing all we can to help it along?
This winter season is the fallow sea-
son for our fields but ought not to
be for our brains.
