foods, Of the Maryland State Conser-
walton Commission, stationed at Mt.
Michaels. while inspecting a barrel Of
crabs, got his head too far in the
barrel and in jostling the crabs about,
one big channel crab grabbed him on
the chin with one of its claws. He
tried to knock it off, when the crab
grabbed his lip with the other claw
The crab did not show signs of re
lenting, but rather brought pressure
to bear. Inspector Barnes executed
the Charleston in trying to shake off
the crab. He called for help and one
Of the men in the packing house ran
to his aid and lossened the crabs grip
by breaking off both its claws. In
spector Barnes is now walking around
with his lip swollen and his chin bad
ly torn.

DELBERT RHOADS'
GOOD SERVICE

Delbert Rhoads represents the
northern portion of McCOne
county on the county board and
has accomplished much for his
district. The system of roads be-
ing built in all parts of the coun-
ty are worth more to the farmers
than can be estimated. In q
county without railroads good
wagon roads take on extra value.
The McCone county board Is
working in harmony and carrying
on the business with the greatest
economy consistent with efficient
service. Anybody can stir UP a
fight but t takes cool Judgment
and tact to work with others and
accomplish what is needed in the
present age of conflicting ideas
and interests.
Mr.. Rhoads was nominated to
succeed himself, on the Democrat
ic ticket. Party lines are some
times invisible in local matters and
Republicans and all other parti-
sans in McCone, especially the
northern part, can not serve their
personal and county interests bet
ter than to vote for Mr.. Rhoads
for a secord term. So far IS OPP
portunity has offered to interview
them, this is the view Of the vot-
ers in many parts of the county.
Don't forget to look in the Demo
cratic column and mark an "X'
before the name of Delbert
Rhoads for county commissioner
The Herald does not feel that
it is getting out Of bounds in com
menting on this matter across the
river because it circulates in near
ly all parts Of northern McCone
county and its readers look to its
columns to keep them in touch
with current affairs.

Pensions continue to be one OF
the heaviest drains upon the pub
lie treasury. During August Oh
this year, the Pension Bureau re-
ports, eighteen and onelhalf mil
lions of dollars were paid out in
pensions to 501,298 recipients
This number of pensioners repre-
emit a loss of ASP during the
month of August. 1t is interest
ing to note in the bureau report
that only nine Mexican War vet
Grams are drawing pensions from
the government. There are 1,u64
WIDOWS of veterans of that war
craving their monthly dole. No
veterans off the War of 1872 are
listed, but 10 widows of veterans
of that long forgotten struggle
still depend upon the government
for their livelihood.

Almost one family in every ter
in Washington and vicinity
changed its address during ano
around the first of October. The
estimate from the public
service companies, called upon to
change OF to install new light and
gas meters.
This year the rush has been SO
great that the transfer companies
have been swamped with moving
orders. The change commenced
the latter part of September and
it will not be over until near the
end of October.
One reason for these annual
moves is the fact that Washington
has a large transient population,
made up in part of families OF
army and navy men here for short
assignments between stations. 9th
ers include those who come to the
Capital on business, rent homes
for a while and then move ON,
their places taken by other tenn
porary residents.
Another factor is the ever pres
emit restlessness of the average
family which is not anchored to
one spot by a mortgage ON the old
homestead. Always there is the
possibility that the other house or
the new apartment may be better
than the present one. Or perhaps
