MAKES NO PROMISES
tBy United Press)

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.--
The pilgrimage of the job hunters to
the home of Vic Donahey, governor
elect, is on. Every train brings new
self-styled possibilities" and hotels
are crowded with men and women
seeking appointments to state offices
from the newly elected executive.
Donahey, at his home on hill over
looking the city, has been meeting
them all-until today. This morning,
with his brother he stole away for
"a few days rest" and incidentally
to do little hunting himself.
The governor-elect would not admit
that the siege of hungry applicants
for state positions had anything to do
with his decision to spend. a few days
hunting rabbits.
Il haven't decided upon a single
appointment" he said There is
plenty of time yet for that"
Will Keep Promises.
But there were two points about
which the governorelect was en-
phatic: That he will keep all his
campaign promises, Including the one
to fire all members of the state pub
lie utilities commission and that there
is to be no fuss and feathers" to his
inauguration.
Two years ago the state spent So
600 for an amplifier on the State House
steps" said Donahey. There will be
rothing of that sort at my inaugura
ton"
Tuscarawas county turned out IN q
body last night for the Home Coming
and reception in honor of the county's
first governor. A parade headed by
city and county officials moved
through downtown streets and wound
up at the Union Opera House. The
Elks took part through a special dis
pensation. Donahey is a past exalted
ruler of that order.
Four Bands Play
Four bands played. Donahey and
his family were in an automobile with
an escort of horsemen. r. E. Haver
man, banker offered congratulations
on behalf of the county where foul
generations Of Donahey's have lived
since the grandfather of the New Gov
ernor was born here in 1904. Donahey
responded briefly. Mrs. Susan Alber
son headed committee of women as
sisting in the reception.
In his address, the governor eleci
said he will call special session o.
the legislature If 1t is humanity posi-
BILE. TO recodify the state laws.
THE requisites of governor are com
mon sense, common honesty and the
courage of grizzly bear" he said.

MAKER ON FIRST AUTO ROAD

MAKER ON FIRST AUTO ROAD
AS the result of the joint activity of
the Hoosier State Automobile Associ-
citation and the Kokomo Chamber of
Commerce memorial was erected on
that stretch of the Pumpinville pike
three miles southeast Of Kokomo, Ind,
where on July 4, 1894, Americas first
mechanically successful automobile
was given it's first road test.
The tablet, in the form of large
sign, designates the exact spot where
the inventor and those who accompan-
led him for the test first set in motion
under its own power the car that
marked the beginning of the automo-
bile industry in America. The tablet
bears statement of the important
event that took place there % years
ago. The tablet constitutes only
temporary marker for the historical
spot. 1t is the expectation that it will
be replaced by a permanent memorial
"a shaft of granite bearing a bronze
tablet. 1t has been suggested that the
permanent marker be provided and in
stalled in time to permit its formal
dedication on July 4 next, which will
be the 2Sth anniversary Of the cars
first trip.

THE VALUE OF SHARKS

There are some people who main
tain that everything in the world was
created for or made for some good
purpose, value, or mission, but since
the SHARK scare" some years ago,
some people think sharks are of no
value. A full grown shark is from
Is to 20 feet long and weighs 1000
pounds.
1st-Some of this enormous fish is
used for food.
2nd-The fms are eaten by the
Chinese who greatly relish them.
3rd--The liver yields about 80 gal
Ions of an oil that is used for medi-
cal purposes, and brings $40 to $50
per gallon.
4th-The skin is tanned into leath-
er for use in making purses, grips,
hand bags and so on.
5th-Last of all the teeth, bones
and entrals of the shark are dried
out thoroughly, and then are ground
up into good fertilizer. Almost
1000 pounds of fertilizer can be made
from one big fish.

ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given by Mrs.
P. E. Heimer in Town Hall, this place,
Tuesday evening was one of the lead
ing events of the season.
The first part of the program con-
sisted of readings, solos both vocal
and instrumental, and piano Duets, all
of a high class and most cleverly rem
dered. The High School Orchestra
opened the program with a number
of selections under the direction of
Prof. C. C. T. Stull; piano solo, Miss
Kathleen Weddle; reading, Mrs. Heinz
er; song, Mrs. Heimer, Miss Ruth
Weybright accompanist; reading, Mrs.
aeimer; piano solo, Miss Mary Freeze
leading, Mis-. Heimer; piano Duet,
Misses Isabel Shaffer and Julia Cas-
sell; song, Mrs. Heimer; piano Duet,
Miss Ruth Weybright and Mrs. B. B.
Dotterer.
In the second part of the program
Mrs. Heimer gave her Interpretation
of Hamlet" which clearly demon
strated her ability as reader. This
and the various humorous sketches
rendered proved her to be versatile
and clever entertainer.
The second part of the program
was interspersed with instrumental
music by Miss Esther Heimer and Mrs.
B. B. Dotterer.
The entertainment was fairly well
patronized, and judging by the liberal
amount of applause the entire pro-
gram was thoroughly enjoyed.

TWO HORSES DROWN

Harry Trout, who farms the Gran
vile M. Smith farm on the Gas House
pike near Frederick, lost two horses by
drowning Saturday morning. Elmer
Eyler, hired man, who was on one of
the horses, narrowly escaped death
by drowning.
Early Saturday morning Trout de-
cided to take a two-horse wagon to
the Monocacy River, and give it a
thorough washing. Eyler hitched the
horses to the wagon. and drove to the
river. Eyler was on one of the horses
and Trout on the wagon seat.
The team and wagon were backed
into the river at a place called "Sweet
Hole" They backed in some distance
and one of the horses took fright and
commenced rearing, and was soon in
deep water pulling its mate in with it
Both horses were harnessed tight and
were unable to get loose and were
drowned. Eyler was thrown between
the struggling horses. His head was
caught and nothing but his feet was
visible above the water for some time
Trout, being unable to swim, could moi
go to his rescue. Eyler managed tt
free himself, however, and swan te
shore. He suffered no serious injury
from the accident.
A -six-horse team was required tt
pull the two horses and wagon from
the river. The horses were between
three and four years old, were heav!
draught horses and valued at $2O(
each.

LULLABY

My baby is tired and so is the bee,
That clumsy old fellow
All black and yellow,
That buzzed in the clover today;
My baby is folding her hands at my
knee,
And the butterfly too
All gold and blue
Is folding its wings so gay.
The drowsy old bee has a soft downy
nest,
Baby, my sweet,
The butterfly sinks on flower to rest,
Baby, my sweet,
While here on my shoulder your own
head is pressed
Baby, my sweet.
The sun trails his cloud garments over
the west,
They have slipped to the waist
Yet he seems in no haste
To be hidden away in his bed;
Just there by his bedside a star-can-
die rests
And with slow, sleepy blinks
Low and lower he sinks
Till we see just the top of his head.
Our Father who loves us will watch
thro the night
Baby, my sweet;
Watch and waken each child to a new
days delight,
Baby, my sweet;
Bring the sun back to greet you with
face warm and bright
Baby, my sweet.

FOR FLETCHER'S
Q a STO RIA
CORPORATION
MEETING

MEETING
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Agricultural Corporation of Maryland
met on Friday evening, March oath,
in the High School Building in Thur
mont. About Is stockholders being
present.
The object of said meeting was to
form a club for Thurmont and adj
joining districts of the stockholders of
said Corporation for the mutual bene-
fit of the farming industry.
A club was formed by electing L. R.
Waesche president and Allen Hoover
secretary and treasurer.
1t is not the intention of this asso-
citation to interfere or run down any
business of this community, but rather
to help build up. We find all manu-
facturers, railroads, labor organiza-
tons, who'll sale and retail dealers,
commission houses, if not organized,
they are in secret pact to make and
maintain prices, but the farmer, who
produces the food to feed them all,
and the raw material to clothe all, not
able to put price on any article he
produces. When the manufacturer finds
the market overstocked he simply re-
duces his output; the farmer is sub
jected to the seasons. If he curtails
his acreage and has a poor season, he
impoverishes the nation, therefore he
should have more say in the prices he
receives for his product in order to
remunerate him for his labor, be it a
good crop or poor one, therefore it is
necessary for the farmer to organize.
We could cite you what the Milk As
ISOLATION has done for the milk pro-
ducer-ask any of the members and
they will tell you.
Now we are going to ask every
Trainer in this neighborhood to buy
one or more shares of stock in the Ag-
ricultural Corporation of Maryland,
price ten dollars per share, and become
member of this club.
Remember, in numbers there is
strength, and don't say "let John do
it will come in later" the whole state
will be organized so come in at once.
When the farmer is prosperous the
whole county is prosperous, therefore
while you are helping yourself you are
helping the whole county.
Taking 1918 as 100, being the index
of all products, we find Dec. 1920 farm
products LA, food 172, cloth and
clothing 220, fuel and lighting 236,
metals 157, building materials 266,
house furniture BAG.
On December 1921 farm products
113, food 139, cloth and clothing 1856,
fuel 1877, metals 119, building material
2O3, house furnishing 218.
When farmer has to pay from 26
to 1O5 per cent. more for what he buys
than what he sells, he can't make
ends meet; so come to the Thurmont
High School Building next Friday
night, March 31st, prepared to join the
Thurmont Farmers Club.

PERSUASION


The scent of earth new-up-turned by
a plough,
The far off, lazy whistling of boy,
A robin boldly calling from Dough
The answer shy, soft, rapturous, tense
with joy
Then just before me as I round a
curve,
Jostling and crowding meath worn
rail fence,
So suddenly that l forsooth must
swerve
So joyously they burst upon each
sense:
With fragile arms outspreading
With lifted faces pleading,
The biting wind unloading,
So airy, so enhancing,
On dainty tiptoes dancing,
With seeming shy advancing,
A thousand wind flowers nod and sway
Cajole and coax, beseech and pray,
And beckon me to come and play.

where they were established nine years
ago when the Farm Bureau work in
Canyon County was initiated under
the leadership of Robert M. White, as
president of the bureau, and T. Nj.
Nichol as Secretary. H. A. Ireland
was the first agent employed and es-
tablished the work on firm and per-
manent foundation. During its nine
years of progress, the bureau has
grown from nothing to a membership
at the present time of almost 1900
farmers.
1t is expected that the new quarters to
be opened August lst will result in ad-
ditional prosperity to the Bureau The
reason for the change of headquarters
is that the business of the bureau has
grown to such an extent that it is i'm
possible to properly care for the men,
bers of the present office rooms.
