Got Back at Toasfmaster

A. A. Borland Of Pennsylvania when
called on for an extemp0raneous
speech at banquet is said to have re-
marked that ne had somewhat the
same feeling for the POSTMASTER that
certain thief had toward church
bell. This thief had robbed small
town bank, and had apparently made
his getaway in good shape by hiding
in church belfry.
After a time he grew weary Of his
surroundings, and thinking the coast
clear, undertook to slide down the
nearby rope to safety. No sooner had
he started down than the bell began
to peal, and almost Immediately he
found himself surrounded by a good
share of the village population. See
ing that he had no hope of escape, he
looked up at the bell and shaking an
angry fist remarked: "If it hadn't
been for your long tongue and empty
head, wouldn't be in this mess. "-Ex-

When the pumpkins began to turn
yellow, plans were laid for a great
community exhibit. Besides the poul-
try display, farm produce exhibits
from the surrounding country were
entered. Altogether 1t made an i'm.
pressive exhibit, bringing home the
lesson to Point Marion people that
there were great undeveloped op-
portunities within their own door
yards which they had overlooked.
The annual exhibit will be continued
in the future by the bank. A horse
show is sponsored, better seed corn
and seed potatoes are made available
to the farmers for planting and the
bank will continue to build agriculture
in the community as sound basis on
which to work. ut will probably be
some time before we shall see larger
fruits of our endeavors," the banker
says, "but we are looking ahead ten
to fifteen years."

According to DR.. DeVault the
school will be devoted to a study OF
religious, social and economic forces
that are at work in the rural COM

tendance an opportunity TO gain a
closer insight into the many changes
that ar taking place in rural home

Electricity and Bananas

Among the many extensions of the
use of electrical machinery attention
may be called to the employment of
motor driven "marine legs" machine
to unload bananas from the holds of
carrying vessels at New Orleans.
Not only is there great saving of
labor, but it is said that the fruit is
much less damaged than when unload
ed by hand. At Louisville electric
radiators have been employed to ripen
bananas for local consumption. The
fruit is hung in ripenihg rooms and
subjected to temperature of from
70 to so degrees during period of
4S hours. Afterward it is kept in
storage at temperature Of from 60
to 20 degrees.-Washipgton Star.

Go Far Back to Find
Idea of Steam Engine

DR.. Frank II. ViZetelly, managing
editor of the Standard dictionary, says
the original steam engine was the coll
pile at Nero, which was exhibited In
the Serapeum Of Alexandria in the
year $50 B. G. The Serapeum is the
great temple of Scraps, that stood
near Memphis and was built over the
mausoleum of the Apis, or sacred bulls,
out In Egypt.
"The first steam engine equipped
with cylinder and piston was invent
ed by Denis Papin, in 1890. He was
a French physicist, who invented a
condensing engine, siphon and safety
valve. Not until 17O6, however, did
Newcomer and Galley make the piston
engine practical engine, but just to
give you an idea of what an fnterna-
tional thing the steam engine is, let
me say that, although there is no rec
ord of the use Of steam expansion as
a propulsive power prior to the Sew
enteenth century, with the dawn OF
this century an Italian, Giovanni Bat
LloLd ucHd VIA, III WOlh VI Ills Oh
pneumatics, suggested the principle OF
steam condensation and consequent
suction, Incorporated in his water
pump, in 1898, by Thomas Slavery, an
English military engineer, who lived
from 1850 to 1715 and wrote on paddle
wheels.
1T was, as have said before, In
17O6 that Newcomer improved the
pumping engine, adopting the princi-
pie Of cylinder and piston found In
Papin's invention, but this became en-
tirely obsolete when, in 1859, James
Watt added condenser separate from
the cylinder, and this made an enor-
nous saving in the expenditure of
heat. He secured a patent for apply
in a continuous revolving motion to
shaft provided with flywheel, In
1871, but left it to Richard Trevi-
thick, in England, and Oliver Evans,
in the United States, to introduce,
about 1900, the high-pressure engine
that opened the way to Stephenson
and the modern locomotive"

NEW FISHING LAWS

The Conservation Department is
in receipt of a number of letters
from residents of the State, inquir-
ing about the new fish laws passed
by the recent Legislature and which
went into effect June 1, 1927,
The most important Statewide
law, which was passed is known as
the Statewide Anglers License
Bill" and is effective above tide
water. -
For some years non-residents OF
Maryland, taking advantage OF our
excellent highways, have resorted to
the rivers and streams in this State
for fishing. Other States found it
necessary to have resident and nom
resident licenses, and the State OF
Maryland saw fit at the last Legis-
lature to place a similar law on its
statute books.
Nonresident licenses at IS, and
resident licenses at 81, may be sec
ured from the Clerk of the Court OF
any County of Maryland, or from the
SlCl n VI IAS SOuAI VI OOdAAAAOAA 1900
Baltimore City. 1t must be remem-
bered that this does not apply to the
Chesapeake Bay or tributaries be-
low where the tide GIBBS and flows,
but only, above such a point and in
all fresh water streams, ponds and
lakes.
The Department will furnish the
Clerks of the Court with buttons to
be issued when license is secured.
This button is to be attached to the
coat or shirt of the angler, and will
not inconvenience the fisherman by
having a marker sewed on the back
of his coat or sleeve.
In Western Maryland, separate
bill was passed for Deep Creek Lake
in Garrett County, which will be
open for fishing on June LIST. A Ii
cense to fish in this lake Will cost the
resident OF Garrett County $1.25;
the resident of Maryland but not OF
the County, $2.75; and the non-res-
ident of the State, $5.25.

wages.
Suddenly labor saving machinery
was brought in to the old hand meth
cd window glass factories. The coal
business took drop and hundreds
Of people had TO find new employment.
Savings accounts dwindled. Deposits
of the two banks dropped off almost
a million dollars.
Bring in more industries" was be
ing sung at luncheon clubs all over
the land, every town seemed to be
advertising unlimited water supply,
cheap fuel and free factory sites.
Competition was keen and the reward
doubtful.
The question came, "Why not
stimulate the agricultural pursuits
Of the community which have lain
dormant SO long" Farm income
might be increased and production
costs lowered in many instances.
The first move of one of the banks
was the purchase of healthy chicks.
These were furnished by the bank
at wholesale to interested farmers,
payment to be made ynote payable
in six months. The bank followed
through by aiding in the dissemina.
