Collegians To Play Mt. Savage
ShamrOcks Tuesday Night.

Results of games played prove in a
manner that the Oakland Collegians
have strong aggreg cation for basket
ball this season. Out of three games
played, the local five have been vic
torious on two counts.
Meyersdale, Pa, kept Oakland from
having a clean score last evening
when they won over the locals by a
score of 10 to &c.
1t is said that last nights game was
probably the best of tie season so far,
and it was only the last few minutes
of play that Meyersdale tailed her
winning points.
The games won by Oakland to date
were from Kingwood, West Va, with
a score of "a to SO, and FROM Iona
coming by a score of 10 to 81.
While basketball has been for many
years the leading form Of sport for
the local fans, yet the game is still
commanding the attention of many
citizens of the community, and it is
thought by the management of the
Collegians that mora patronage will
be given the team in thier endeavor to
advertise Oakland as town we'll
capable of producing material for
good, clean basketball team as we'll
as for other forms of sporting activ-
ty which come in their lie seasons.

ARBITRATION WITH
MEXICO.

The major disputes between Mexico
and the United States relative to the
oil and land laws may appropriately
be submitted to arbitration. The Unit
ed States government is endeavoring
to protect American property rights.
But certain of the questions at issue
are not clear cut. 1t is not as if the
Mexican government were attempting
to coniscate American oil wells or
American property in land.
For instance, one question concerns
the Mexican law under which foreign
owners of a controllingg interest in
Mexican rural land companies must
dispose of their stock in excess of 40
per cent within ten years. Secretary
Kellogg holds this is an interference
with American property rights. The
Mexican government says it simply
requires foreigners to transfer their
holdings from one form of property to
other forms, and gives them reason
dDlS lIlllS W llldhS GlIS u etIlo1CIs
Certainly this is an arguable point.
On oil lands, the Mexican law re-
quires that foreign owners who had
not begun development work at the
time of the adoption of the constitu-
ton of 1917 must have their titles
confirmed and for period of only
fifty years. That is, if an American
oil company had bought up extensive
tracts of land which it hoped would
produce oil, but on which it had done
no development work before 1917, its
ownership would be limited to fifty
years.
This, too, is certainly a point open
to negotiation.
There are other questions in dis
pute. But it ought to be perfectly
possible in every instance to reach
an adjustment or to find some way
for a peaceful settlement.

AMERICANS AND MONEY.

Mr.. G. K. Chesterton, the unbane
and highly intellectual Will Rogers of
modern English essayists, has been
saying some true and interesting
things about America, of all the lies,
says G. X. c., the worst lie is that
the American worships money. An
American never talks of money in the
hushed and awestruck tone that an
Englishman employs in referring TO
financial matters
Excellent, 1t might have seemed
in i'll taste mad an American said it.
But when an American has listened
all summer to courteous Englishmen
deplore the 'materialism' and the al
legged money-loving propensities Of
the Americans; and when an Ameri-
can has heard the French and Belg-
ians and Italians and Germans say the
same thing, his large international
patience shows signs of strain, and a
word like that of Chesterton's is re-
freshing.
For the truth is, England and the
Continental nations not only worship
money, but grovel before it, says the
Dearborn Independent. 1t enters into
every marriage contract-which is not
true in America; it determines every
social position-which is not true in
America; it controls the entrance
doors to universities and colleges
which is not true in America; it has
the first and last say in bestowals of
title-more than it could possibly do
in America; and in spite of all the
exposed scandals in American politi-
cal life, the concealed corruption due
to money in European political life
goes wider and deeper. Money rules
life in Europe; it does not rule life in
America.
Europeans worship money. The
chief difference between them and the
Americans is that Americans will
work for their money, while Euro
peans want only money that someone
else has earned. To earn ones own
money is rather honorable in America
but it is very much off color in Europe.
Europeans worship money and
therefore attribute to it greater pow
er than it possesses. They think mon
ey will rehabilitate Europa super
stition that could exist only among
the most primitive mammon worship
ers. Americans know the limitations
Of money; they know that they can
make money, and they know that
money connot make them.

the Baltimore and Ohio announces
that it will continue to award again
this year, as has been done for the
past five years, two one-hundred dol
lar scholarships in this state to the
boy and girl who most efficiently COM
pletes their project in agricultural
club work during the year 1927.
The club members may enter any
type of club work recognized and

The winners of Baltimore and Ohio
scholarships have the alternative of
using the scholarships for educational
purposes at any recognized college or
university or in defraying the expense
of an educational trip to the Boys and
Girls Sixth Annual Club Congress and

Chicago next December.
The Baltimore and Ohio has award
ed "a scholarships to date, 43 of which
the winners chose to use for educa-

Fencing Aids Different
Fields on Stock Farms

Any farmer who raises stock knows
that fencing and subdividing his pas
ture so he can rotate the pasture gives
% per cent more feed value to his
stock because it eliminates the big
percentage of feed that is trampled
down. This soon pays for the price
of the fence.
There is another gain, however, real
lied by the farmer who keeps books.
The farmer who has all his fields
fenced off not oSly pastures, but corn,
oats and wheatslands is able to turn
his stock in these fields during the fall
and winter. The stock not only bene
fits from the food value Of the rough
age but is at the same time scattering
fertilizer ON the fields.
One farmer who kept track of his
expenses closely said that the saving
of labor cost in distributing fertilizer,
as well as the smaller amount of com
mercial fertilizer that, he had to buy,
more than paid for his fence without.
counting the other benefits.
This farmer said: EVERY farmer
pays for a fence whether or not he
has it, the only difference being that
the farmer who has good fences gets
big return on his investment"

Little Potatoes
Good for Planting
Avoid Tubers That Are
Badly Sprouted.

Plant the small ones and save ex-
pense, is the advice of f. A. Krantz
of the division of horticulture, Univer-
sity of Minnesota, to potato growers
who are beginning to think in terms
of seed for next spring.
Mr.. Krantz says that whole small
potatoes are even better to plant than
seed pieces from large tubers, pro.
vided they come from vigorous,
healthy plants. If planted when
weather conditions are unfavorable
there is less likelihood of the whole
small potato rotting in the ground
than there is of the seed pieces cut
from large potatoes.
Growers who have kept up seed
plots will be perfectly safe in planting
their small, unmarketable stock" says
Mr.. Krantz. "The small seed potato
should be firm in substance, with the
first sprouts just beginning to appear,
and should be of minimum weight Of
two ounces. Badly sprouted small po
tatoes should not be planted. In a
time Of high prices like the present
growers can make saving by using
their smallest tubers, if properly
grown, for this years seed. But do
not increase the acreage"

Calf Feeds Necessary
to Make Rapid Growth

If calf eight weeks old is to make
rapid growth it will be necessary to
feed it some milk with grain and hay.
II 1t. is impossible to feed. it milk it
will make fairy good growth on the
following mixture: Shelled corn, 80
pounds; oats, 80 pounds; wheat bran
30 pounds, and linseed meal, 80
pounds. Mix and let the calf have
all it will clean up without waste. The
oats and corn may also be ground if
desired. The calf should have all the
bright clover hay it will eat and also
all the water it will drink. Alfalfa
hay, can be fed instead of the clover
hay but it is not so rood for young
calves as is clover hay, since it is
much richer iQ protein, which in some
cases, does not agree with the calf.
The calf should have clean box stall
and have plenty of sunlight.

Imported Varieties Of
Glover Not Recommended

Tests of clover seed on experimental
plots at Ontario Parish, in Knox coun-
ty, Illinois, showed severe winter kill
ing among all imported varieties Of
clover. Of the Chilean, Rumanian,
Hungarian and English clovers emore
than IS per cent were dead. The
French seed, which is supposed to be
fairly hardy in Illinois had less than
a 10 per cent stand, and of the Italian
there was hardly plant remaining.
The most successful stands were from
seed from Ohio, Michigan, Canada and
Idaho, in the order named.
Under present national regulations
all of these foreign clovers are stained
red so that the purchaser may .recog-
nize them Immediately and be warned
that they are not satisfactory for
planting in this country.

Feed Beef for
Spring Market
Plan Is Favored Because of
Low Price of Cottonseed
Meal and Hulls.

Because of the low price of cotton
seed meal and hulls this winter, win
ter feeding of beef cattle for the
spring market might be good venture
for farmers who are favorably located
for the work.
Favorable Fattening Dates.
"The most favorable dates for fat
tening beef cattle are between Novem-
Der l and March l." says Prof. r. S.
Curtis, animal husbandman at the
North Carolina State college Cattle
do better in the winter months and
there is not so much danger in feed
Ing the meal. Those who wish to be-
gin this work should do so at once,
otherwise the finishing period may ex-
tend over into the warm months. Con-
ditions then are less favorable for
feeding cottonseed meal, farmers ARE
busy in spring and the manure must
be hauled out at an unfavorable time"
Professor Curtis states that when
one starts to feed beef c.: tile with the
meal, each animal should be given one
pound daily and the amount be gradu-
ally increased so that full ration
be given at the end of 80 days. A safe
rule to follow for the full ration is
one pound of meal to each 100 pounds
live weight of animal, using 2h to 8
pounds of hulls for each pound Of
cottonseed meal used. Where farm
roughagesS are available the hulls
should be decreased. 1t requires from
DO to 120 days to put decent finish
on beef cattle. Rations should be
given them twice daily and water and
salt kept before them at all times.
Gain of Beef Animal.
A beef animal should gain from 100
to 200 pounds during feeding period
of 120 days and under average condi-
tons there should be margin of two
cents per pound between the buying
and selling price. Most feeders figure
that If they can break even and have
the manure clear with so to IS per
cent of the fertilizing constituents of
the meal in it, they have done a good
piece Of work. The finished animals
are usually marketed during the early
spring.

One way to save labor is to put 1t
on the best land.
To keep the loafer hens from eating
up the profits why not eat up the
loafer hens?
The term unit as applied to
fertilizers means 1 per cent or 20
pounds in ton.
A farm inventory is the first step in
keeping farm accounts On the
average farm it requires about one
half day to take it.
Many dairymen consider lbuckwheat
middlings equal to gluten feed for
milk production. They l. I'VE about
the same total feed value as wheat

The comparatively high prices that
have been paid for summer milk for
the past few years have had tend

Tender and Palatable
Meat Is. Most Desirable

If farmer will fatten his heifers
and kill and dress them properly he
will have very tender and palatable
meat. A quick finish is desirable be-
cause it is economical but beef that
is fattened slowly may be very good
too.
Care should be taken not to excite
the animal before killing, as this ad.
versely affects the quality of the
meat. The carcass should hang for
at least a week of ten days before
