ANNOUNCEMENT

To the Voters of, Worcester County:
After due elaboration and because
of much urging on the part Of my
friends and associates, ! have decided
to become a candidate for the Office
Of Clerk of the Circuit Court for Wor-
cester County, subject to the wishes
Of the voters to be expressed in the
coming Democratic Primary Election.
Believing that my experience Of
nineteen years as Assistant Deputy;
and of two years as Chief Deputy
Clerk have properly qualified me for
the positinon, and believing further
that the people appreciate the cour-
teous and efficient service which /
have always endeavored to render, I
am convinced that they are fairmind-
ed enough to reward faithfulness
without regard to sex.
Should / be nominated and elected,
] pledge to the office my full time
and attention as heretofore given, and
to the people my best efforts to serve
them well. Respectfully,
BESSIE BOWEN,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1926-09-04
FARM kCTS!e

After the pigs are weaned 1t takes
only sow sense to keep them growing.
Usually the farmer does not save
money--he accumulutes live stock and
other forms of farm property.
Don't count your pigs before they're
weaned unless you provided narrowing
quarters free from round-worm in
festatiOn.
Farming with just the hands and
the feet goes hand in hand with de-
linquent taxes.
In two months field of weeds can
sap the ground of moisture that would
mature next years crop.
Fall blowing improves the physical
condition of the soil, kills insects, and
puts the land in excellent condition
for spring crops.
For best results 1t is as important to
cultivate the young orchards as 1t is
the potato or the corn crop. 1t may
also be necessary to continue the cult
walton after the trees come into bear
Ing.

NANCY Hogs Not
in Much Demand
To Obtain Top Price Feed
ers Must Have Animals
Free of Disease.

(Prepa.ed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The raising and marketing of hogs
Is now more profitable enterprise
than 1t has been for a number Of
years. On June rs the price of hogs
In the Chicago market ranged from
$3.50 to $500 hundred pounds.
Swine growers and feeders are inter-
ested in getting the top price. 1t Is
important, then, that the animals
reach the buyer in good condition,
well-tinished, and, especially, free Of
disease.
Depreciation In Value.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture calls attention to the de-
probation in market value of animals
affected with skin disorders. 1t fire.
Quently happens that hogs with mango
are allowed to reach the market. This
condition often affects growth and
fattening and makes the animals less
desirable. The carcasses Of such hogs
have an unsightly appearance, the
cuts of pork are reduced in value, and
In some cases II Is necessary to re-
move the entire skin In order to make
the meat salable. Hogs affected with
mango In the advanced stage are con-
demned as unfit for food under the
federal meat inspection regulations. 1t
Is only reasonable for the packer to
pay less than market quotation for
NANCY hogs, or refuse to buy them
at any price.
Hog mango is caused by insect-like
parasites called mites. The sores In
the early stage are found on the head
around the eyes, nose, and ears, and
from these parts they spread, accord
ing to the activities Of the mites, until
the entire skin is involved.
Prevent Mango.
Mango may be prevented by keeping
the hogs In clean pens or pastures,
away from filthy wallow holes and by
the use Of oilers or rubbing posts.
Crude oil (petroleum) is effective in
keeping the animals free Of parasites,
including mango mites. While there
are various types Of hog oilers on the
market, a simple homemade one may
be arranged by driving q post firmly
in the ground and wrapping 1t secure
~ with gunny sack. OIL Is poured over
the post from time to time to keep the
cloth saturated. II q clean cement
wallow Is provided, the oil may be
poured on the water and In this way
reach the skins of the animals. A
sand wallow may be utilized also In
sections where hog lots are sandy. A
space about 20 feet square Is provided
with side boards to 10 inches high,
the space filed with clean sand and
the oil spread over the sand. The hogs
will get the benefit Of the oil in the
sand bath. The sand should be
changed from time to time, otherwise
some of 1t may become hard.
If the herd has become affected with
mango, dipping will be found effective
in destroying the mites. Full informa-
ton concerning mango, it's prevention
and treatment, is given in Farmers
Bulletin 1O85-F, copy of which will
be furnished, as long as the supply
lasts, upon application to the United
States Department of Agriculture,

STICK TO POSTS
AMID DANGER OF
FALLING SHELLS

: When the naval ammunition depot
at Lake Denmark, N. j., exploded in
July, there were many acts Of hero.
ism and devotion to duty recorded,
but few are more noteworthy than
that of the six telephone girls at
Rockaway who stuck to their switch
boards under extremely dangerous
conditions for thirty-six hours, at the
risk Of their lives.
Rockaway was one Of the heaviest
hit towns in the stricken area and 10
one of the centers of telephone com.
munication. The operators were
warned to leave the building, but SO
many and so important we're the calls
for help, for doctors, for ambulances.
as well as those seeking information.
that not only did the three girls who
were on duty at the time remain there,
but three others, realizing the serious.
ness Of the crisis, volunteered their
services.
1t was nearly thirty-six hours later
before relief could be sent to the six
girls, but during all that period they
remained constantly on duty, stop
ping long enough to get a bite to eat
now and then. The six girls we're:
Mrs. Johanna Doyle, Miss Adeline
Leonard, Miss Evelyn Bowe, Miss
Harriet Fox, Miss Mary Richards and
Miss Mary Bowe, the latter, who came
all the way from Lake Hopatcong, to
give what help she could.

A bill was introduced in the He use

Your Congressman delivered a
speech in the House, yesterday, on
the Deep-waterway project. This
speech was an answer to the argu-
ments put forth by the flag-wavers,
who are, in the name of patriotism,
advocating the so-called "all-Ameri-
can" route to the ocean. The text
of the address is far too comprehen-
slve to quote in full, or even to any
considerable part, for this letter.
However, on the subject of patriot
ism, | may quote:
1--WE have heard considerable in
the northwest, in my State of
Minnesota, about loyalty to the
flag. We know something about
loyalty. The battlefelds of the
Civil War, of the War with Spain,
and the World War, are conse-
Grated with the blood of Mime
sofia soldiers 1t was a Minnesota
Regiment that turned the tide of
battle at Gettysburg and when the
battle was over less than ten per
cent of its men were left to re-
spond to the roll-cell. We i'm the
middle-west are living up to the
high tradition, but we have come to
inquire when we see the flag wav-
ed, just for what purpose the wav-
ing is being done, and what bene-
fits are to be derived by the flag
waivers, provided their plan, rather
than some other plan, is adopted"

raise the money without anyone to
pay it.
Of every dollar that has been
spent on the fine trunk highways of
Stevens county, the residents of
Stevens county have paid only Fl
cents all told, and the resident of
Stevens county who is not doing
more than one-fifth of his total
travelling on the trunk highways is
indeed the rare exception. In other
words, there have been expended on
the trunk highways of Stevens
county $S0S,527 of which amount
but $156,523 was contributed by us
in auto and gas taxes since this
system of financing trunk highways
was started.
If that doesn't effectively dispose
of the cry that less money should
be spent on the trunk highways and
more on the country roads, then we
don't know arithmetic. The trunk
highway system really isn't getting
enough money even now to put that
spstem on the most economical basis,
and we people who pay only 81
cents out of every dollar spent on

hardly in position to complain
about how the money should be
spent.
In fact we should be among those
who ask for higher automobile
taxes, for every man determines his
own automobile tax by the kind of
a car he chooses to buy; for higher
gas taxes, for every man determines
the amount of his gas tax by the
number of miles he chooses to drive,
and for that matter, he should be
asking for raising of the state tax
levied under the Dunn law, because
under that law we always get at
least a dollar for every half-dollaa
we pay, and that money goes entire
