More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
MAMIE AND HER CLOTHES

Mamie wears her garters squee-gee
One above and one below,
But the simple little Fiji
Did the same thing long ago.
Mamie's walking dresses show a
Bit of knee below the hem,
But the ladies of Samoa
She has not thing on them.
Many tropic breeze caresses
Meath the palm trees fronded
shades
Shorn and bobbed and shingled tresses
On the South Sea island maids.
In full many a native quarter
Bordering on a coral bay,
Petticoats are worn far shorter
Than they are along Broadway.
Mamie's costumes are so scanty
That they fill with wild alarm
Her dear, sweet, old fashioned aunty
Who is just down from the farm.
But if to the South Pacific
Dear old Auntie CHANGED to roam
She would get most terrific
Shocks before she journeyed home
Mamie says she cannot breathe in
Clothes of the old fashioned styles.
So, indeed, declares the heather
On the sea girt little isles,
Who is happy and contented
Though she neither knows nor cares
That her ancestors invented
Everything that Mamie wears.

POLITICS IN HEALTH OFFICER
APPOINTMENT

The Cecil Wing sees politics in the
recent appointment of a new Health
Officer in Cecil county, at the in
stance of the State Board of Health
The Wing says :
1.-THE State Board of Health has
taken upon itself to direct the con
duct of local health affairs in the
county. 1t has had the effrontery
to influence a Republican Board OF
Commissioners in the appointment
of it's local health officer I'm
fortunately the State Department
was assisted by few county
doctors.
"Such a move is an audacious
meddling of the State with the local
administration and would not have
the approval of those higher up,
the situation were known, if we arc
to interpret correctly the doctrine o.
State and County rights as believed
in by the party now in control o.
State affairs, presuming of course
that they are consistent"

TWENTY sixth ANNIVERSARY
OF RURAL POSTAL CARRIER
SERVICE ON EASTERN
SHORE

For the first time in the history
of the Eastern Shore the human
voice may be broadcaster to the
country as ceremonies incident to
the celebration of the establishment
of the first rural postal carrier ser
vice in the nine Maryland counties
are staged at Wilmington, Md.
Decoration Day, May 81. Efforts
to that end are now being made by
a committee of the Kent and Queen
Anne's Counties Rural Letter Car
riers' Association which is sponsor
ing the affair.
Invitations have been extended tc
a number of prominent speakers
whose addresses will probably be
sent over the air from Station
WCAP.
In day when railroad facilities
and postal service on the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore where not as eff
ficient as now, simultaneous routes
where started from Millington and
Chestertown, serving parts of Queen
Anne's and Kent counties. That
was on May 1, 1900, and the in
novation was brought about largely
through the efforts of, w. Irving
Walker, of Queen Anne's, one-time
member of the Maryland General
Assembly. The mail was taken
from the train at that place and the
local carrier transferred Chester
town rural mail to that carrier at
Saw Mill Woods, a place equidistant
from both towns. Hence Milling
ton has been chosen as the seat o.
the celebration, having, it is said
been the point of the initial rura'
service on the Eastern Shore
Rural carriers from all parts of the
nine counties are expected to at
tend the affair in. large numbers
Decoration Day, holiday having
been selected for that reason.
The interesting parley will begin
at 1870 p. M, with speech-making
and get-together meeting. Nor
man S. Wallen, of Millington, who
was the first rural carrier ever tc
operate on the Shore, will speak o.
his quarter-century of service with
Uncle Sam. w. Irving Walker will
be the historian of the meeting, re
counting the history Of rural service
on the Peninsula. In the evening
banquet will be held in Community
Hall during which it is thought
probable the addresses will be
broadcasted.

FEED COWS LIKE HOGS TO
MAKE DAIRYING PAY

If the dairyman fed his cows az
the hog man feeds his pigs, there
would be more money in dairying
according to the Larrowe Institute
Of Animals Economics.
1.-THE hog man interested in get
ting his pigs to markable weight in
the shortest time and with the least
effort and expense has tried ration
after ration for his pigs until he is
now pretty close to the best ration
for accomplishing the result he il
AFTER the Institute states. For
the hog man, the proof of the feed
is in the feeding. Contrast this at
titude with the attitude of the dairy
man. Instead of finding out what
given ration will do with his own
cows in his own barns, the dairyman
has continued to make up his ration
on the test-tube theory of chemical
analysis, which has little to do with
the amount of milk the cow will
give. The dairyman tests out gaso
line in his own car, but he feeds his
COWS on the ration arrived at with
pencil and paper. Is it any wonder
that under the standards of our
present knowledge the average COW
in view of her possibilities is not as
good as the average hog
While the stomach lis the only
true guide on what a given ration
will do for the COW, there are GER
tain characteristic elements that
every good dairy ration possesses,
according to the Institute. In the
first place, the ration should contain
a variety of foods. 1t should be
bulky and it should be palatable.
But in the selection of his ration
the dairyman who mixes his own
iced is at a disadvantage to the
dairyman using ready mixed
ration. There is wide range of
difference in the analysis of the in
gradients or even different lots of
the same ingredients that go into
the making of dairy ration, and
it's not uncommon for the same
mixture to work out well
one week and be a failure the next
On the other hand, the commercial
feed maker through actual tests with
,ows and the use of chemical and
mechanical means to analyze an6
mix the many ingredients that &C
into their feed, are able to make
ration that is standardized and uni
form and which will give similar
results under like conditions.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

At last the trial shipment" and
something similar to. the ''satisfac~
ton or money back" guarantee have
been extended to include the CO
operative marketing of farm pro
ducts and for period of two
months, beginning April 20, Mary
land poultrymen will be given an op
portunity to market their eggs
through the Atlantic Coast Poultry
Producers Association without tax
ing out membership in that or
ganization.
In a letter addressed to poultry
men of the State, L. A. Cooley.
manager of the cooperative egg
marketing organization, makes plair
that the offer INVOLVES no obligations
of any kind and that the eight
weeks trial is based exclusively or
the confidence that shippers will be
pleased with the net returns from
their eggs.
Shipments, it is explained, should
be made as to other receivers.
Payment will be made once a week
as is customary with member
shippers. The object of the trial
offer, according to Mr.. Cooley, is to-
increase the volume of the associa'
TONS sales to a minimum OF 1900
cases of eggs a week. Up to this
point and slightly beyond, it is said,
the association can increase its
business without increasing its over
head costs and thus effect savings
for the shippers.
The Atlantic Coast Poultry Pro-
ducers' Association was organized q
number of years ago and has
operated successfully as a co-opera-
tive selling agency on the New York
market. Its membership includes
poultrymen in Maryland, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and other Atlantic
Coast States. F. M. Payne, of
Frederick, is vice-president and di
rector in the organization for the
Maryland membership.

FAMOUS MEXICAN MUSICIANS
TO OPEN CHAUTAUOUA

III vi Elm &51AOIhOQ0A
A year ago DR.. Paul Pearson
found Senior Felipe Llera, Sonora
Llera and their ten-year-old-son
performing with President Gales
summer he brought them to the
United States. They instantly be-
came popular, and are now well
known through their Victor records
on the opening day of our
Chautauqua.
In order that the music of his
country might be worthily present
ed, the Mexican President ordered
a special set of serapes made for the
company to use as a backdrop.
Against this background their native
costumes make a picture which can
not be forgotten.
Senior Llera's own compositions
are we'll known in Mexico and South
America. Many of his own songs
will be sung by his wife and their
son. In addition, they will give
other typical Mexican numbers, be-
sides the more usual classical and
popular selections.

Llera said Il see that you Amer

brought well over $4,000 or a total
of almost $4,000 from the flock Of
only SO ewes.
Such harvest, however, is not pos
sible without a return by the owner.
He must lay the foundation by Sc
curing desirable ram and must have
good basic value in the breed of sheep
he is raising.
While there are more than 10000
900 sheep in the United States, only
463,504 of these are pure bred. An
nually the number of pure bred sheep
increase in proportion to the total
number of sheep, which is favorable
indication for a continuance of quality
for years to come. The sheep owner
realizes that only on quality may he
build a permanently profitable bust
ness in sheep raising.
A close study Of breeds most suit
able to existing conditions and most
advanced methods of feeding and care,
always carries with it a large divi-
dend in results obtained. Your sheep
deserve good attention.

PURE BRED SHEEP

An auction sale of seventeen
pure bred Hampshire rams under
the auspices of the Maryland Sheep
Growers Association has been plan
ned for Farmers Day at the
| University of Maryland, Saturday,
May 30
The rams, which were purchased
from a breeder in Michigan, have
been shipped to the University of
Maryland Experimental farm at
College Park where they will be
cared for until the date of sale.
They came in company with ten
yearling Hampshire ewes and ten
three-year-old ewes, the latter with
fifteen lambs, which were purchased
by the University of Maryland to
supplement the small Hampshire
flock established at the institution
several years ago.
According to K. A. Clark, live
stock specialist for the University of
Maryland Extension Service and
secretary of the Maryland Sheep
Growers Association, the rams are
of excellent quality and their sale on
Farmers Day is expected to attract
farmers from all parts of the State
The sale is the first to be held
under the auspices of the Maryland
Sheep Growers Association and is
expected to stimulate interest in ina
provement of Maryland sheep fiacks
that has been rather marked in
recent years. According to Mr.
Clark, nearly a hundred pure bred
rams were distributed to farmers of
the State last year as the result of
sales during Better Sires Week.
Just prior to that a carload of one
hundred pure bred Hampshire ewes
were purchased comparatively by
Maryland farmers from a breeder in
Idaho. In addition many pure bred
sheep have been introduced on farms
through the efforts of county agents
and specialists of the Extension
Service.
The purchase of the rams was
made possible by the cooperation
of the Baltimore Union Stock Yards
which advanced the money to the
Sheep Growers Association for the
purchase of the animals.

ALL FOR HEALTH
from State Dept. of Health.


Here's the latest news from
Governor Richie" the Health
Gnome remarked as he stopped at
the State Department Of Health for
a brief visit. 1.-TWO important
items" he continued.
First His Excellency has is
sued a Proclamation, all signed and
sealed, setting aside the first of May
as Child Health Day in the sovereign
state of Maryland.
Second pay good heed to
this--the Governor will go on the
air CHATS official English for
broadcasting, he explained ION
Friday evening, April 80, the eve
ming before May Day, from Station
VIDAL in Baltimore city, between
six and six-thirty, and will tell the
grown-ups about health in Maryland,
particularly the health of the
children.
q understand, he went on,
THAT plan is being worked out so
that all the children who will begin
going to school next fall, are gotten
ready for tin health way-dur-
ing the summer. Maybe he will say
something about that.
Beginning with Governor Richie
as our top-liner, we are going to
have an all-star program for Child
Health Day in Maryland" the Health
Gnome continued twirling his little
green cap. "All sorts of pleasant
things have been planned for the
children, with some more serious
ones for the grown-ups. For the
special benefit of the Sandman
Circle and other young radio fans
Hazel Knox will broadcast May Day
songs and stories, from VIDAL on
Thursday evening, April 29, and
Monday, May 3, at six O'Clock. On
other selected days in May, there
will be stories by leaders from the
Playground Athletic League. On
Friday afternoon, April 30, nearly
every school will have something
special in the way of songs, games.
plays, sports, or athletic events.
There is too much for just one
day, so we have to begin, as you
see, before May Day, and the exer
cises will continue all through the
month, and so far as that is con
cerned, all through the year. The
round up of the children so that
they can enter school 100 per cent
healthy will last all the summer.
That is one of the jobs assigned tc
the grown-ups.
at does take lot of work tc
make every day health day for
the children. This is surely my
busy week." the Health Gnome re
marked, as he gave final twirl tc
his jaunty little cap. There was
flash of green and once more he was
out of sight.
