Watch For The Placard.

If you are going on an auto trip
this coming summer, or are planning
stay at one of the summer camps
along Maryland waterways or at some
attractive countryside, before you I'M
pack your belongings be sure that the
camp has been duly placarded by the
State Department of Health as hav-
ing met the sanitary requirements of
the State Board Of Health.
In order that the inspection of such
places may be begun before the tour
lists and vacationists take to the open
road, all operators of summer or
tourist camps throughout the State
are requested by DR.. John S. Fulton,
Director of the State Department of
Health, to file their applications for
permits to operate such camps, at
once, with the State Department of
Health, 16 West Saratoga Street,
Baltimore.
Only those camps that satisfy the
requirements of the Board as to the
protection of the water supply, dis
posal of sewage, proper protection of
food supplies and general cleanliness
will receive the permit necessary to
operate such places. The absence of
the Official placard will show that
they have not met the requirements.
Any premises which accommodate
ten or more persons and which are to
be used as camp for tourists or for
vacation outings for a period of six
days or longer, or which are used as
picnic grounds, are subject to these
regulations.
During the season of 1926, 104
camps were inspected and permits
were issued to 40. Of that number,
one was an amusement camp, twenty
three were tourists camps, twenty
five were recreation camps with
quarters for vacation outings. The
camps which met all of the require
ments covered every section of the
State, and were located in eighteen
counties. From the applications al
ready received, it is expected that the
number of licensed camps during the
coming summer will be more than
double the number in operation last
year.

1t will be recalled that when the Nc
Namara brothers were indicted for
blowing up the Los Angeles Times
building and killing twenty-five work
men, the same elements now denounc-
ing the Sacco-V anzetti verdict were
Historically denouncing the "infamy"
of the California courts for persecut-
ing two perfectly innocent radicals.
Mass meetings were held in every
large city; the radical and liberal
press was filled with charges against
the integrity of the California courts;
defense" committees raised huge
funds, and millions of people were led
to believe that there had been some
failure of justice. Unfortunately, in
the midst of this campaign, one of the
McNemaras confessed
Few of those now discussing the
Sacco-Vanzetti case know or care any
thing about the facts. The men were
regularly tried and convicted by the
unanimous action of the jury which
heard all the evidence. The defen-
dants had battery of high-priced at
torneys and all the help in their de-
Tense unlimited money could give
them-so much money that they have
carried on legation for six years.
Their radicalism was not introduced
into the case by the prosecution, but
by the defence.
Prof. Felix Frankfurter, of Har-
ward University, a campus pink, has
written a book on the Sacco-Vanzetti
trial which is quoted by radicals as
proof that there has been miscar-
riage of justice. But it must be re-
membered that Professor Frankfurter
is one of those to whom a radical is
always innocent, and the government
is always wrong. Theodore Roose-
welt denounced him for his partisan
activities in behalf of l. w. WIS
guilty of anti-government violence
during the World War, declaring that
lit was Frankfurther' habit to defend
men who are wrong by attacking
those who are right.
Knowing no more first hand facts
about the Sacco-Vanzetti case than
do their radical and liberal" defend
ers, sound Americans are willing to
leave the adjudication of this case to
the constituted authorities, including
Governor Fuller, who is now review
ing the evidence. But they fully COM
prehend the motives of the radicals
and liberals" who find in this case
just another opportunity to defend
radicalism and attack their govern
ment.

suffered a decline in the three years
including and following 1921. The
liquidation that took place during
that period of low prices left the
country with approximately 10000
sheep, which number is about 20 per
cent less than the production five
years ago. Garrett county has always
led in sheep, but it is now the second
county in Maryland. There is some
tendency at present to increase the
size and number of flocks. This ma
tural stimulus in the raising of sheep
must be attended with the use of bet
ter rams and the more rigid culling
of eve focks. 81 notice many of the
rams in use are scrubby, counterfeit
individuals. Practically every eve
flock needs a severe culling The best
way to improve flocks is by the use
Of good purebred rams and by the re-
placement Of unsuitable ewes with the
best eve lambs from the flock each
year. The old thin, worn out eve will
not produce as many nor as good
lambs, as young vigorous ewes. A
high class purebred ram produces
growthier, huskier, more uniform
lambs of better quality that sell
quicker and higher than common
lambs from poor breeding stock"
The sheep business can be made
more profitable by studying the condi-
lions on each individual farm and
keeping that number of sheep which
should be increased to allow fuller use
of better ram, and repay more for
the attention and care given. A few
flocks might be reduced on account of
feed or pasture shortage and to allow
better housing and handling facili-
ties.
A common attitude with too many
flock owners is the feeling that sheep
are a side line. Make them one of
your projects of first Importance.
Give your flock just as good attention
as you would if they were your only
source of income and they will repay
well for the extra care and attention.
There is nothing more profitable on
the farm than sheep, and they deserve
the best.
At the close of the meeting when
Mr.. Clark talked he assured the farm
ers he was anxious to help them in
any way he could because he saw
great possibilities for sheep in Gar
rett county. He also said he saw no
reason why Garrett county could not
lead the state in the production of
sheep and wool, because it had ideal
conditions for the raising of sheep.

The Democratic Political Tide.

Practical politicians have always
been inclined to look askance upon
the prospects for presidential nomi-
nation of the candidate who seemed
to be first in the field with the most
votes. Usually a President DESTROYS
of succeeding himself can accomplish
his own denomination despite the
eleventh hour rally of opponents.
But the history Of the political stra-
tegy of parties, when out of office,
will almost invariably show that the
candidate who year before the
nominating convention seemed to
have the nomination in his hands has
but seldom won the coveted prize.
A few weeks ago it seemed that
the brilliant and efficient Governor
of New York was likely to get the
next Democratic nomination almost
by default. Reports came from all
parts of the country of leading
Democrats declaring their support of
his ambitions. There was apparently
no individual upon whom his oppon-
ents could unite. Being himself pro-
foundly wet, he had the great ad-
vantage of the unequaled genius for
publicity possessed by those who are
DESTROYS of bringing the liquor power
back into American politics and who
are clamorous in urging his claims.
1t seemed for time as though wet
sentiment were going to carry Gap
Smith. to the goal of his ambitions,
or that he, with notable record of
public service back of him, might be
strong enough to carry the handicap
of opposition to the Nations policy
on prohibition.
But it Is quite apparent that the
inevitable reaction has come. 1t be-
gan when two of the distinguished
members of the Wilson Administra-
ton who had been quoted as favoring
Smith publicly disavowed any such
attitude. Former Secretary Daniels
thinks chat the Democratic Party
would make serious mistake if we
should nominate wet man for Presi-
dent" Senator Carter Glass express
es a similar opinion, while Governor
Byrd of Virginia requests that he, too,
be set right in the public eye as one
who was misquoted in support of the
wet Governor of New York. Senator
Caraway of Arkansas declares that
southern Democrats stand so to in
their opposition to Governor Smith,
and a very sagacious observer, not a
politician, c. w. Barron, of Boston,
returning from the South, declares
that North Carolina would go Re-
publican should Smith be nominated.

sion, if at all, is much to be preferred.
A large back bone may indicate
large spinal cord and strong nervous
temperament. A strong, level, broad
loin and fair width of back throughout
are necessary.
RIBS: Sufficiently long and arched
to provide a capacious body. Flat
and short ribs go with poor feeders
and defective constitutions.
HIPS: Tend to be prominent in
male and females. Hip points in male
should be neat and moderately close,
not wide, while those of the female
may be more widespread and promi-
nent.
RUMP: Long, wide and level.
Backbone prominent. Fat rump is
Objectionable.
THIGH: Muscular rather than fat.
Long, thin back edge and curve on in
side. Thick thigh and deep twist are
unfavorable to large udder develop
ment.
HOCKS: Muscular, clean and thin.
Should point directly back with ample
space between.
LEGS: From hook down should
stand square. Toes pointing as near
ly straight as possible. Shank bones
should be smooth and short, showing
quality and refinement of bone.
TAIL: Proper length (fieshy part to
hock.) Brush to 2 or inches from
feet. Tail head level.
UDDER: Most important part.
Moderately thick, filling up well be-
tween the thigh, extending high up
behind and well along the belly. Teats
3 or 4 inches long on same level and
enough apart to be comfortably
grasped in the hands. Udder soft
and pliable, showing much shrinkage
when MIXED out. Hind part should
show much elasticity, with many folds
of skin. A mellow, soft, skin AMI fine
coat of hair should cover entire udder.
Common defects: small, poor fronts
with teats elevated or close to hind
ones; small teats; meaty udder; small
udders. Large cows have larger I'D
ders.
MILK VEINS: Tortuous, with
large milk wells" Usually extend
about half way to fore legs. Small
veins and immature teats ('rudimen-
taries") found in front of and on each
side of the scrotum, (D said to indi-
cate milking qualities; (2) said to in
dictate placing of teats and formation
of fore udder on offspring.
ESCUTCHEON: Back of thighs or
between them. Line of hair turning
to oneside or upward ("milk minor") .
QUALITY: Shown in character of
skin and hair, size of horn, ear and
bone, and general proportions. Skin
should be mellow and pliable, thin,
with short hair. Also yellow, oily
secretion, conspicuous at ears, be-
tween thighs, about udder and scro-
tum, and at end of tail.

Sheep Survey of Garrett County

Mr.. X. A. Clark, Sheep Specialist of
the University of Maryland, accom-
panied by County Agent McGlone,
visited many sections of the county
in the interest of the sheep industry.
Mr.. Clark made thorough study of
the sheep in the county and said that
most lambs that he had seen in Gar
rett county were earlier than usual.
Lambs in the flock which l observed
are growing we'll and are above the
average. The lambing percentage is
strong, ranging from 100 per cent to
$50 per cent. With the lambs coming
early and the spring well advanced,
the crop will probably move to market
ahead of the usual fall rush." said Mr..
Clark.

KNOCKING THE KNOCKERS

1t is not surprising that nation
wide cutlery has been raised against
the conviction of Sacco and Van
zetti as payroll murderers by the
courts of Massachusetts,. Nearly
seven hundred thousand dollars has
been raised and expended in the effort
to clear these two men, and a good
deal of clamor can be raised with that
amount of money. Communists and
socialists throughout the world have
taken the matter up, and indeed the
comrades have attempted to blow up
three American legations in foreign
lands, to prove their interest in
orderly justice. The home of one of
the states witnesses has been blown
up and threats have been made
against the judges and prosecuting
officials who have had to do with the
case. Every socialist, communist and
self-styled political "liberal" in the
United States is attempting to prove
that these two men are being rail-
roaded to the gallows on no ground
other than that they are foreigners
and radicals, the truth being that the
only reason this cutlery is raised is
that they are radicals.
Now radical, in the opinion of
other radicals, is never guilty Of any
crime of which he is accused. He is
always the victim of "frame-up."

Ideal Type of Dairy Cattle

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Triple
form in cows. Comparing with beef
cattle they have less thickness in
body, less breadth of back, narrow
thighs, slender neck and more mus
cular character in general. Males
notably narrow at withers and more
divided between hind quarters;
females rather sharp over withers and
full and heavy behind, with udder of
ample proportions. Rather long, deep
ribbed, muscular, not fieshy body and
shortness of leg is notable in the high
class male freshness with either sex
is distinctly Objectionable, unless with
young animals not yet in location.
HEAD: should be lean, broad of
muzzle, large of nostril, moderately
short and broad of nose, with some
dish to face. Prominent, clear, calm
eyes, wide apart beneath broad, full
forehead. Cheeks deep and lower jaw
strong. Ears fine, medium sized, thin
and pointed, must be neatly placed
and covered with fine hair on the out
side, with longer hair at tip and edges.
If there are horns, they must show
quality and not be coarse and shelly.
Pool should be covered with thick
layer of fine, long hair, especially in
cold weather. Yellow color of inner
skin of ear and yellowish, waxy color
to horn, are regarded as indicating
that a COW will yield milk rich in fat.
NECK: Tends to be long and mus
cular. Especially strong with the
bull and heavily muscled, and usually
has a prominent arch. With the cow
it is thin and long. Lower part of
neck has more or less dewlap, this be-
ing thin edge of skin extending from
the brisket upward. A deep neck with
much dewlap, fullness at the throat,
or a short, thick neck show lack of
quality and type and are objection
able
SHOULDERS: Should incline at
good angle well into the back, lying
fairly close together and forming
rather refined, narrow and sharp
withers. With the males, greater
breadth of wither isdesired. Shoulders
are usually somewhat prominent but
should not be heavy or meaty.
BREAST: Not so wide as in the
beef; brisket narrow and sharper and
not carried quite so far forward.
CHEST: Does not show great thick
ness, but should be amply deep with
reasonable spring of rib. Crops are
usually somewhat deficient in dairy
cattle but at this point the ribs should
have fair arch from the back, show
ing ample chest room below. Front
TANKS we'll filled out showing good
constitution and the ample chest ca
pacity.
FRONT LEGS: Straight from side
and front (No crookendess at keen
or wide turning in or out of toes.)
Knees close together show narrow
chest, and lack of constitution.
BACK: Often shows a droop from
withers to hip line. A strong back,
well sustained, with but little depres-

POLITICAL OWNERSHIP

The United States has been pro-
crossing steadily in efficiency and
prosperity since the period of post
war reconstruction began, and it may
be added that efficiency and prosperi-
ty usually go hand in hand. One OF
the striking examples of this progress
can be found in our American railway
systems.
At the close of the war these sys-
TENS were practically wrecked. Gov
eminent control, tantamount to gov
eminent ownership during the war
had completely disorganized them and
it seemed that they had been scram-
bled almost past the unscrambling
point.
But a few years of private control
have worked wonders. The railroads
are again back to normally. Operat-
ing conditions have improved, the ser
vice to the public is tremendously
better and the railroads are making
money. What is true of the railroads
is true in lesser degree of the other
great public utilities which were
placed under government control dur
ing and Immediately after the war.
The changes in these other instances
may not be so striking but it is Wis
ible just the same.
The lesson is one which will not
be lost on the American public. The
example of our railroads under gov
eminent and private control is a
complete answer to the radical de-
mand for government ownership Of
railroads, and other public utilities.
They call it government owner
ship and that is what the radicals
advocate theoretically, but as a
matter of fact the term political
control" would be more appropriate.
For government control means politi
cal control, with all its evils. Every
one knows how railroad costs mounted
during the war. With government
control permanently established the
costs would grow steadily, and eff
cheney vanish.
Instead of the railroads being run
efficiently for the benefit of the thous
ands of stockholders they would be
operated for political benefit. Rail
road jobs would become political
favors and therefore multiply like
housefies. And there would be built
up a political machine in our great
public utilities the like of which has
never been known in modern govern
ment. Government by bureaucracy,
or by office holders would no longer
be danger but an accomplished fact.
And what applies to the railroads
applies to other kinds of business.
You might be an advocate of gov
eminent operation of railroads and
other utilities today. But the thing
spreads and by tomorrow others
more radical than yourself would be
demanding federal ownership of
stores and factories and farms. And
so on until the government became
one tremendous all-absorbing ma
chine with everyone working for it.
When this stage was arrived at we
should have bolshevism, with the
only difference that we had entered
that blissful state through the back
door.
