Forgotten Veterans

Attention was called by Judge
Florence E. Allen, of Ohio, well
known as the first woman judge to sit
on state supreme court bench, to
the neglect by the public of many
war veterans. Judge Allen told of
men who were cheered when they
left for France, but since have had to
beg bread on the streets, and she
spoke Of many former soldiers whose
hearts rankle bitterly with the feel
ing that justice has not been done
them.
The war veterans included all types
of men. Most of the soldiers returned
with the determination to make good
and have done so. Many were disap-
pointed to find their jobs gone when
they got back, but those with energy
and capacity have usually found
something else to do, and have not
lost by the war experience.
Some who have tried hard to make
good, have encountered difficulties,
and in some cases it is difficult to tell
whether they were responsible for
their troubles or not. Sometimes
after man has to look for work for a
considerable time, he seems to lose
the capacity of working efficiently
If a mans ill success is due to his
own fault, then people finally get
tired of doing things for him, even if
he was soldier.
The disabled men should receive
the most hearty sympathy and tangi-
bic help as well. People should make
every possible effort to give them
work where they are capable of doing
it. They do not ask charity, and they
do not expect to be put onto work
which they are not up to doing. But
if there is a chance that they can
make good, they should be given the
benefit of that chance.
The American people owe debt to
all these soldiers, and the debt to the
disabled men is one that can never be
paid. 1t hardly seems as if the people
had commonly realized their full obi
cation to the veterans. They were
asked to offer their lives to the coun-
try, and the people should always
keep their interests in mind, and give
them employment whenever possible.

B. & 0. WORLDS FAIR
IN TRANSPORTATION
Will Be Principal Function of
Year In Connection With
The Road Centenary

A Worlds Fair in Transportation,
or what is believed will be the largest
and most complete outdoor historic
railroad pageant ever displayed, will
be the chief attraction of the Balti-
more and Ohio's two-week celebra-
ton at Baltimore, September "a to
October 8. This will be the principal
function of the year in connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio Centen-
airy.
President Colidge is expected to be
present on opening day. Everybody
is invited. There will be no admis-
sion charge.
The Centenary Grounds will be To-
Gated on the company's property in
the Southwestern outskirts of the
city at point called Helethorp, close
by the railroad and the Baltimore
Washington highway. Work is prog
ressing on the 1000 acres which will
be the site of the exposition. Plans
include loop track over a mile long,
nearly two miles of other track and
grandstand seating 12,O24 persons,
within the 25-acre loop space, various
replicas of buildings and railroad
structures will be erected, represent
ing century-old associations, among
which will be one of the Mount Claire
Station, the oldest in the world.
Hall of Transportation
The Hall of Transportation will
house many exhibits showing the de-
velopment of rails and ties, not only
from the Baltimore and Ohio's earli-
est used, but going back to those on
the tramways of England in the 18th
and 10Th centuries. The development
of many railroad applications, notably
the air brake and the signal also will
be displayed, in careful detail. There
will also be shown reproductions and
models of the earliest European To-
comotives, equipment and convey
ances, even to the vehicle in use in
the days of the Pharoahs. The motor
vehicles, especially as it is correlated
with the railroad, will have its pro-
per place in the show.
There will be special platforms for
those arriving and departing by train
or automobile contiguous to a sub
way passing under the railroad so
that no one will have to cross the
tracks either going or coming from
the Exposition grounds. Parking
space for 5000 automobiles will be
available.
In the transportation expositions of
the 1876 Centennial, the Worlds
Fair at Chicago in 1898 and the st.
Louis Fair of 1903, the Baltimore and
Ohio took prominent part, but these
were held indoors and all the various
historical types of locomotives were
not in motion. By the use of the loop
track for the passage of the pageant
in the open, at a season of the year
when the weather is generally favor
able for outdoor affairs at Baltimore,
an opportunity is afforded to display
a mobile and articulate panorama
three miles long as the many units
of the pageant will move under their
own power.

usually pays to feed some grain to
cows giving 20 pounds of milk daily.
On good pasture pound of grain to
about pounds of milk will be suffi-
cient. If the pasture is short it will
be necessary to feed more heavily.
Early in the season when the grass
is young a mixture of 500 pounds of
corn and cob meal and 500 pounds of
ground oats or wheat bran will be
sufficient. Later in the season when
the grass has become older it will be
necessary to increase the protein con-
tent of the mixture and something as
follows will be needed:
400 pounds of corn and cob meal,
400 pounds of ground oats and 200
pounds of cotton seed meal
Late in the season the grain mix
ture should be the same as the regu-
lar winter ration, which in most cases
contains from 20 to % per cent pro-
tein.
Water is an essential factor in
milk production and an abundant sup
ply should be provided both summer
and winter. Automatic watering
cups soon pay for themselves in in
creased milk production.
Be sure the cows receive sufficient
amount of salt. l per cent of salt is
usually put in the feed, and they
should be allowed free access to salt
in the yard. The two other minerals
needed are lime and phosphorus.
These are best secured in legume hay
and in grains such as wheat bran,
ilinseed meal and cotton seed meal"

Equipment Is Better Than Ever
For C. M. T. Camps

The many new and interesting fea-
lures planned during the past winter
for Citizens Military Training Camps
in the Third Corps Area, have made
it necessary for camp commanders to
start preparations for the summer en-
campments earlier than usual, this
year.
Trainloads of equipment have been
transferred by motor transport from
Camp Meade, Maryland, to other
points in the area and this is now be-
ing put in perfect condition for the
citizen-soldiers.
At Fort Eustis, Virginia, approx
mately 1000 uniforms are being dyed,
in order to insure uniformity in color.
This will please former students who
have worn the mixed colors, previous
ly issued summer campers. The SWIM
ming pool at Eustis is now being
provided with new diving platforms
and will be completely encircled with
new floor.
At all of the camps baseball diam
onds, tennis courts, polo grounds, golf
courses, ETC., are being put in fit con-
dition for the making of new world s
records, which is not at all improbable
in view of the large number of college
athletes who have applied for admis-
sion this year.
At Third Corps Area Headquarters,
baseball, basketball, track, tennis and
other athletic equipment is now be-

COOLIDGE SITS TIGHT

The man who is criticised for talk
ing too little escapes the grave
danger of saying too much.
There's Calvin Coolidge, for illus
tration. qse
Just now other Republicans, anxi-
ously nursing Presidential ambitions,
want him to say out loud whether
he intends to retire or be candidate
for another nomination.
And Calvin doesn't say word.
Just keeps on saving wood.
That bothers the other fellows.
They don't know just what to do. If
Coolidge were to say now that he
won't run again, all the job-holders
would get busy hunting another
coat-tail to tie to. At the next session
of Congress the Presidents influence
would be nil.
The tight-lipped occupant of the
White House, by keeping his own
counsel, commands the situation. The
jobholders are afraid to desert him,
because they would be out of luck if
he should later decide to run, for they
know he can get the nomination if he
wants it. They also know that unless
Democrats show more sense than
they have shown since they got all
messed up in 1920 Coolidge will be
elected hands down.
Any Republican President is sure
of the Solid South in the nominating
convention-for there IS a Republi-
can as well as Democratic Solid
South. It is made up of the federal
jobholders and their lieutenants of
both races, together with some others
who are Republicans because they
hope to get jobs. Political expediency
demands that there be enough Re-
publicans in Southern States to hold
the jobs under Republican Presidents.
Coolidge can get most of the dele
gates from Republican States too,
because there are not only the hold
ers of federal jobs, but also those
who hold State, county and munich
pal jobs and want a Presidential
candidate who can play them through
to victory.
But that isn't the only advantage
held by the President who knows
how to hold his tongue.
If the Democrats should surprise
the country and get together smash
ing liberal progressive Jeffersonian
platform, with candidate to match
tiff the Republican administration
should get into an unpopular mess
because of it's foreign policy below
the Rio Grande or across the Pacific
if things get worse for the farmers
and they get mad enough to revolt
if business goes mad and things are
in the doldrums-why, then, Presi-
dent Coolidge can take it or leave it
alone.
So it's safe bet that practically
all of the delegates to the Republican
National Convention of 1928 will have
been chosen before there will be an
informative peep from the speeches.

THE PRESS.

"This growth and power of the
press carries with it great obi
cations. 1t is automatic that a
free press can exist only in a
free country. One of the first eff
forts of all kinds of absolutism
is to control the press and the
schools as the sources OF in
formation and education of the
people. Where the press is free,
as it is in our country under
the guarantees of the national
and State constitutions, it has a
reciprocal duty of it's own to
perform toward the administra-
ton of the government, of Civ
ing true reports to the people
of the actions of public officials"
President Coolidge.
President Coolidge said, at il
natural that the press should repre-
sent the character of the government
under which it lives and of the peo
pie which it serves"
This is undeniable, but, as between
the two, the press should be far more
careful to represent the charactel
and aspirations of the people.
Government can only remain fret
so long as it reflects the public will
and the press can only contribute t.
free government by accurately re
f1ecting the public will.
X. A. Bickel, president of the
United Press, put his finger on the
vital point when he said, during his
introduction of Mr.. Coolidge, "Tht

Uncle Jerry Conover, Dairy Specia-
list, University of Maryland, who WISH
ted Garrett county last week says:
every dairyman looks forward
eagerly to the time when he can turn
his cows out on pasture and thus be
relieved of the necessity and expense
of feeding grain. However, it is only
the poor dairyman whose life is thus
made easier.
The good dairyman with the good
cows must keep on feeding grain, even
though he has excellent pasture. A
COW on good pasture will eat about
100 to 100 pounds of grass a day.
This is only enough to enable a cow
to make 25 pounds of per cent milk
a day. She must be able to get this
grass in a few hours so that she can
lie down or stand in the shade of a
tree and contentedly chew her cud.
1t is only then that she starts her
milk factory. If she is obliged to
travel over large territory to secure
the necessary hundred pounds of
grass she will not have much time for
milk production.
1t is well to wait, therefore, until
the grass gets or 6 inches tall be-
fore turning cows on pasture. This
gives the grass a better start, the
cows will get filled sooner, the pasture
will last longer and you will get
greater production.
Cows giving more than 25 pounds
of per cent milk should be fed grain
in addition to good pasture, and it
