S.tt;n' in the editorial sanctum Of
a newspaper Office the other day |
overheard one of the reporters Civ
ing the rewrite man an account of a
wedding which he had just covered"
He reported it IS follows:
AS The Reporter Told If
"Well, Al, that big ham of Mike
Jones finally landed a meal ticket;
and by the same sad token, that
skinny antique, "Hatchet Anne
Brown has lassooed a male.
"The crime was perpetrated at Old
Man Browns shingle shack down on
the lagoon, and Preacher Bentley.
holding his nose with one hand and
Bible in the other, raced thru the
tans. Nudge Holway and her half
wit burden, from across the alley.
lounged in the doorway during the
show.
"Hatchet Anne" made Mike cough
up to the preacher the 81 bill she'd
showed into his pocket for that pur
pose. and Immediately resumed her
interrupted work on Mrs. Van Duen's
wash. Mike had to go over to the
lean-to and get his rocking chair, so
he was an hour late at his accustom-
ed place around Hedly's grocery
store stove.
But All, lissen, you know "Hatchet
Face is not too much removed
relative of the Boss wife, and the
orders are to give this the velvet
finish, so go to it, kid, and do your
stuff"
SO the re-write man "went to it"
and this is the way the paper re-
corded the wedding of the big ham
Mike and Ratchet Faced Anne:
As The Story Was Printed
THE cozy home of Mr.. B. B.
Brown, 1918 S. Lake street. was the
scene yesterday of the elimination of
one of the city's most charming ro-
mances, when Mr.. Browns beautiful
daughter, Miss Harriet Felidna, was
united in marriage with our prom
inent townsman, Mr.. Michael Sted-
ley Jones.
"Only immediate relatives and in
innate friends were present at the
ceremony, which was performed BY
Rev. L. L. Bentley, of the Second
Baptist church.
Following the ceremony we'd
ding dinner, the steaming delicacy of
which had permeated the house, was
served to the guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will reside at
the Brown homestead until a new
residence, which Mr.. Jones is plan
ming, is erected on one of the more
pretentius sites along James Boule-
ward"

ORGANIZE, COOPERATE,
ADVICE TO FARMERS

Speaking at farm bureau meet
ing at Monroe last might, Edward
Nordmon, Commissioner of Markets,
states that it was generally con-
ceded that the bane of modern agri-
culture was an over-supply of farm
products compared with the demand.
Mr.. Nordman said that farm leaders,
in their efforts to remedy this stu
alton, are asking farmers to curtaii
their production.
Stressing the fact that, in his
judgment, this policy of curtailment
was neither possible nor desirable,
Mr.. Nordman pointed out that a big
majority of our farmers are either
renters or are heavily in debt and
are, for these reasons, not in a po-
sition to curtail their production.
But even if they were, there are no
good reasons, in Mr.. Nordman's
opinion, for their doing soG in the
face of the fact that millions of city
people are getting along on the
barest necessities of life and are but
meager consumers of such products
as poultry and eggs, butter, cheese
and cream, and fruit of different
varieties. No one doubts, said Mr.
Nordman, that the consumption Of
this class of goods could, from the
standpoint of health ana general
welfare, be advantageousiy doubled,
but it is kept down because there
is not the purchasing power to pro-
cure the product.
Regarding the periodical closing
down of manufacturing plants as a
result of consumption tagging be-
hind production. Mr.. Nordman
stated that this was also due to the
curtailed purchasing power of FARM
ers and city consumers. This is sub
stantiated by the fact that there is
room on a big majority of farms and
in most of the city homes for vastly
greater amounts of machinery and
far greater supply of household coz
veniences than such farms and horse
holds now have. These things, how
ever, are not purchased because peo-
pie can not afford them. Therefore,
instead of curtailing down produc-
ton, Mr.. Nordman expressed the
opinion that study be made to get
at the reason for the country's pur-
chasing power being constantly be-
low its producing power, stating that
it was the latter situation that need
ed mending and not over-production.
A remedy could then be applied in
the light of facts brought out by
such investigation.
So far, in the experience of Ameri-
can agriculture, said Mr.. Nordman.
our whole effort to improve farm
conditions has been directed at
greater efficiency in the production
and distribution of farm commod-
tiles. From now on results will de-
pend upon the amount of intelligent
thought we bestow upon such mat
ters as the farmers overhead ex-
pense, including interest and taxes,
and on the purchasing power of the
farmers customers. There is pos
itively no likelihood of ever getting
farming on a profitable basis unless
this be done, he said.
Mr.. Nordman concluded his talk
saying that organization and coop
Grafton were the instrumentalities
through which the farmers and pro-
ducers would finally achieve Che re-
ward to which their labor entities
them.

Declared For Free Press.
$50 felt our forefathers-the foun-
ders of this republic-when they pro-
vided in the very first article of the
Bill of Rights for a free press. They
meant such freedom as they endeav-
ored to give in every phase of our
. Self-governing people - freedom of
worship, freedom of speech and free
dom of opportunity, but always sub
Ject to the limitation that this free
dom should not infringe upon the
rights of others nor endanger the
maintenance of our common govern
ment.
within these quite proper limita-
tions, the American journalist en-
joys unrivaled opportunities, which,
to eevery right-mlnded man. mus,
carry corresponding obligations. In
the phrase of the Bible, OF him to
whom much is given, much shall be

PUMPHREY IS FINED.
ON GAMING CHARGE.
Found Guilty of Gambling
Table Operation in Prince
Georges County.

Elmer Humphrey of Suitland,
Prince Georges county. Md. was
found guilty of operating a gaming
table in Prince Georges county to-
DAY by Justice of the Peace Harry w.
Gore. A nominal fine Of $50 and costs
was imposed.
Conviction came after trial held
yesterday afternoon in the court
house at Upper Marlboro before
Justice Gore. Humphrey entered
plea of not guilty and testified that
he had never operated a gaming table
as charged in the warrant
The maximum fine possible under
the Maryland statute dealing with
the offense is $500 fine or six months
Imprisonment in Jail. The warrant
citing Pumphrey for operating a gam
ing table was issued shortly after
February Is. charging him with an
offense on that date. States Attor-
ney Bowie promised further action in
regard to operation of other alleged
gambling houses in Maryland near
Washington. The verdict today by
Justice Gore contained no admonition
against reopening of the alleged gam
bling house.
The case of James A. La Fontaine
and Phillip j. Steubener, ,co-defendants
with Pumphrey in the warrant, charg-
ing all three with operating gaming
tables, will go to the circuit court for
a jury trial.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 1s.-John
c. Stafford, charged with conspiracy

had defaulted on two previous bonds.
Stafford had pleaded not guilty.
1t is charged that when he was con-

liquor laws he requested to serve at
Upper Marlboro and hired another
man to take his place, as a result of
which two county officials were
