Maryland.

The following poem composed and read
before the Maryland Society of Washing
ton. D. c., by Miss Della Harris Maddox,
of Leonardtown, St. Mary's county, Md:
Oh. Maryland. with your roses sweet
And jasmine flowers snowy white;
Where sun shines with deeper glow
And stars burn with brighter light
Twas there in the hush of the quiet hours
| opened my eyes to a world of flowers.
And the blue Of the summer sky.
Twas there the beauty of life began,
The innocent happy time of youth.
When the glamour of dreams glide swiftly
And the earth is wrapped in a veil of
truth.
When the heart is pure. and love is sweet
And the call of nature full and deep.
Oh, Maryland-my home.
Oh. Maryland with your grass grown lanes
And green hills stretching far away.
Where light and shadows softly fall
And moonbeams in the meadows play
lis there where the fields are daisy blown
And sweet winds whisper. home. sweet
home"
A voice is calling me-
'Tis there the beautiful waters flow,
And banks are sprayed by storm tossed
deep;
'Tis there the winds are hushed to rest.
And the little waves are crooned to sleep.
'Tis there the zephys blow so light
When darkness falls on the wings of night.
In Maryland-my home.
Oh. Maryland, the time seems long.
And sorrow has fallen across the years.
Since childhood joys were slept ~ aside,
And light grown dim through mist of
tears;
But happy memories still come back
Along the trail Of that sunny track.
In Maryland-my home.
The sun that shines DER other lands
Can never seem as full of light;
The stars that glow from skies above
Can never fill so sweet a night;
The flowers will never bloom so fair.
The beauty of God be so wondrous rare,
Save in Maryand-my home.

WHY TELEPHONE
RECEIVER HOOK
ENDS IN RING;
Like Many Other Details, Are Resui
OF Long ExperIme ntatlon.

OF Long Experimentation.
Those classic problems. How old
,Anne?" and Which came first, III,
egg or the hen?" are probably ne
more puzzling to the uninitiated thai
the question why does the hook tina
supports the telephone receiver enc
in two rings?" Is it in order tina
the instrument may be closed will
q paddock? No, for It could still be
dsed-although awkwardly-by hold
ing 1t upside down. Or is 1t, perhaps
in Difference to the feminine convic
ton that every hook should have an
eye?
AS matter of fact, the rings al
the end Of the telephone hook have
been evolved by a gradual process OF
elimination. Like many other details
of telephone apparatus and service
they represent the results of careful
thought and experiments directed to
ward giving the. public the best and
most economical telephone facilities
that can be devised.
The early types of desk telephones
had hooks ending in pair of upturned
horns, This arrangement proved unsat
tsfactory, however, because careless
subscribers were likely, when replac.
ing the receiver, to set It down on
Tue points of these horns In such a
way as to injure the diaphragm.
To obviate this difficulty the hooks
were made for a while with the points
turning downward; but that, too,
proved undesirable, az the prongs
were apt to catch and tear women's
sleeves, curtains, or any other thin
fabric that came near the telephone.
So telephone engineers hit upon the
scheme Of making the hook terminate
in two disks. which couldn't punoture
the diaphragm Of the receiver nor
catch on peoples sleeves. These
disks were in use for time, but
finally 1t was decided to make them
with hole in the center like dough
nut This arrangement not only saves
metal, but also gives the telephone
neater appearance. That's why the
hook that supports your telephone re-
coiver ends In two rings.

Studying Cost OF Producing MIX.

Charles Geist, Of St. Louis, arrived in
Gaithersburg, recently and will be in that
vicinity three or four weeks studying the
cost of producing milk and other livestock
feeding problems.
Mr.. Geist is graduate of the University
OF Maryland and is now in the employ of
the Ralston Purina Company. of St. Louis.
studying feeding methods in various parts
of the country.
In his study of the dairy situation, Mr..
Geist has found that the dairymen making
the most money are those who are max
ing close study Of the cost of production.
Little can be done by the individual
farmer" declares Mr.. Geist. ito raise the
selling price of his produce. However, a
great deal can be done to lower the cost
producing it. He must produce as much
home grown roughage as the stock will eat,
thus cutting the grain cost as low as posi-
BILE. In purchasing Grain. he should buy
that which will produce milk cheapest.
10 order to determine how much it is cost
ing to produce milk, he should keep records
on his cows and weigh his milk. This will
show him which cows pay. as we'll as what
it costs to produce his milk.
1T is truly astonishing how widely the
cost of producing milk varies. With two
farmers side by side. it is not unusual to
find one selling milk that costs twice as
much to produce as that of his neishbor."
While in this territory Mr.. Gest will be
glad to show anyone how to figure his cost
of producing milk and tell him how those
figures compare with those of others pro-
ducing milk under the same conditions.
He may be reached at the Summit Milling
Company. Phone Gaithersburg.
