take this means of retraction.

he told an incoherent story of be
ing attacked by four masked and
robed men, who set his home afire
and then threw him in the flames.
Failing in their efforts to burn him
with the building, he declares, they
beat him, and then threw him in a
machine, taking him to the mead
ows, where he had laid four days
before being discovered.
He declared that he had been
crawling through meadow grass
and fighting hordes of mosquitoes
for almost four days before his dis
covery Friday night. During that
time he had had nothing to drink,
or eat His condition is pronounc-
ed as grave at the Atlantic City
Hospital, where he had been rushed
following his discovery.
His discovery gives one of the
most battling near murder myster-
les police of the county have had
to solve. Hooded men, an autono-

of an alcohol explosion, with a 'nys-

The face of the cripple was al

OUR WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS

Every county has it's weekly
paper. Here in Maryland many of
the counties have two or more. 4
few have three or more.
And editors of these papers arc
vitality concerned with agriculture
and with rural people. Agriculture
is as important to them as it is
to the farmers themselves. These
editors have their problems just as
the farmers have theirs. Circula
ton and advertising, their two chief
sources of income, do not come
by magic. Circulation comes slowly
and advertising frequently comes
under presume.
Farm people have not given
enough thought to cooperation with
the weekly papers. Unquestionably
each farmer should be regular sub
scriber to his weekly paper. Ii he
subscribes for it he will read it be
cause the weekly paper carries news
and information about and concern
ing the people of his county For
tunately many of them carry great
deal of agricultural news from
Washington, Baltimore and Annap
oils and from elsewhere and that is
exactly what farmers want.
If every farmer in each county of
Maryland would keep his subscrip-
ton paid in advance he would be
making an investment which would
he very valuable for him and for
his family; and his editor would be
happy and could get out better
paper than is possible with limited
circulation.
Then, too, farmers ought to do
more advertising. Frequently they
have some little something for sale
which is slow in being sold, whereas
it would be sold promptly il little
advertising was done in the local
paper. For a fraction of a dollar it
can be turned into cash. An animal,
for example, that is costing good
money every day to keep, can be
turned into cash right away by the
simple use of some printers ink.
The Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is deeply interested in the
weekly papers of Maryland. Nine
out of every ten of them are likewise
interested in the Farm Bureau and
want it to succeed. Therefore, if
YOU are not on the SubScrip-
ton list on your weekly paper, we
suggest that you get on it right
away and stay on it.-Maryland
