AMERICAN LEGION 1928
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

1t is indeed interesting and no less
gratifying, to note the steady, consis-
tent progress of our membership COM
mittee, in materializing their "Gigan-
tic 1928 Membership Drive"
Under the active craftsmanship of
Vice Commander Paul Holiday, and
his efficient corps of assistants, in
GLIDING Metz Manion and John A.
Gardner-a city-wide canvass is be-
ing made for eligibles. If you ever
saw military service, either at home
or abroad, then you ARE ELICi-
BILE FOR MEMBERSHIP"
For the benefit of those who are
not able to pay their annual dues
of $500 at once, "our convenient in
stallment PLAN" consisting of six reg
ular monthly payments of fifty cents
each, will thus enable our less for
tunate "Buddies" to enlist their serv-
ices in the BATTLE FOR A BIG
GER AND BETTER POST"
The natural inclination of the av-
erage individual, is to be skeptical
about the things he does not under
stand; the idea, within itself is per-
fectly logical, but not excusable;
therefore, "ACQUAINT YOURSELF
WITH ROOSEVELT POST NO. 30,
SO thoroughly, that you will KNOW
the purpose, value and activities OF
the organization in detail and / as
sure you, that instead of KNOCK

ARTHUR BRISBANE LIKES
NEGRO PULLMAN PORTERS

Arthur Brisbane, the famous
Hearst newspapers columnist, says
For the first time, Chinese replace
colored men as porters on trains.
The Northwestern-U nior Pacific lines
have installed twelve young Chinese
as club car porters in place of Ne
|groes. All but one of the twelve
are American born.
"They will work well, doubtless,
but the public, satisfied with excel
lent service rendered by colored por-
ters, will not like them displaced.
Colored men are descendants of those
brought to this country against their
will, as slaves and for that reason
are entitled to especial considera-
Ition."

The trip will be made in cars and an
inspection of the dairy supply of the

Cement Work Completed Or
Foundation For Gun.

All the cement work necessary for
mounting the American Legion gun
on the Court House lawn was finished
Tuesday by j. W. Whorton, contrac-
tor, and as soon as this hardens, the
gun will be raised in position, it was
stated.
There will be an unwilling service
soon after it is erected, according to
l. R. Rudy, post commander of the
Local Legion post, the exact date of
which will be announced later.
The foundation for the gun has
been placed in the northwest corner of
the Court House lawn, and cement
walk leading from the main entrance
has also been laid. The walk and gun
will be inclosed by small iron fence
to prevent people from walking on the
grass.
Mr.. Rudy wished to announce to all
Legion members that everybody who
was in good standing could avail
themselves of the privilege of pur-
chasing a Springfield army rifle
model 1894, for $1.5O. He also wished
to announce that the Legion met
every first and third Monday in the
month.

SHEEP INDUSTRY WILL BE
AIDED BY SPECIAL TRAIN
Will Start Tour of the Western
Counties from Oakland-TwO
Stops to be Made in Garrett

Development and the further extern
sion of the sheep industry, which has
proved to be one of the most profit
able branches of farmin~ in Maryland
during recent years, will be the main
object of a special train to be oper-
ated by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road in conjunction with the Univer-
sity Of Maryland Extension Service
and the United States Department of
Agriculture the first week in October.
The train will begin it's tour in
Garrett county, one time leading sheep
producing county of the State and
still important in the number and the
quality of its f1ocks. Two stops will be
made in Garrett county, one at Oak
land at 500 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, October 3, and one at Swanton at
200 o'clock the same afternoon.
The following day scheduled stops
are planned for 500 o'clock in the
morning at Hagerstown and for 200
o'clock at Gaithersburg. On Friday,
October 5, the train will visit Ellicott
City in the morning and be at Aber-
deem that afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Exhibits of various kinds, particu-
larly those dealing with the produc-
ton and management phases of the
sheep industry, will be carried in spe-
cial cars aboard the train. The ex-
hibits will be open to the public. In
addition, special demonstrations to &C.
quaint growers with some of the more
common diseases and parasites OF
sheep will feature the program at the
different stops. Short talks by spe-
cialists of the University of Mary
land and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture together with mo-
ton pictures will complete the pro-
gram.
1t is expected that sheep growers
and farmers generally will take ad.
vantage of the opportunity to learr
more about the essentials of sheer
production, in view of the fact that
the sheep industry in the east has
shown signs of increasing stability
in recent years.

INVENTOR PREPARING FOR
RADIATOR SHIELD OUTPUT
Edward C. Lawrence Having
Large Quantities Manufactured

Production of the Adjusto Radiator
shield for automobiles in large guam
titles has been started by Edward c.
Lawrence, its inventor, and quite
number of sales have already been
made, is has been announced.
The Adjusto Radiator shield, for
which a patent has been applied, is
said to have many advantages over
the shutter type of shield now in use
on a number of cars. The shield was
installed last winter on the inventors
car for test purposes and has proven
to be entirely satisfactory, and now
the new shield is being put on the
market and it is expected the demand
will be large in preparation for the
winter months.
Made In Baltimore.
The frames for the shield are being
made in Baltimore and then shipped
to Oakland to the Lawrence Manu-
featuring Company where they are
assembled and the finished product
turned out. When completed the
shields retail at Sc and can be INSTALL
ed on any radiator in thirty minutes
at very small cost, the owner stated.
The shield is nothing other than a
winter shutter, controlled on the in
strument board Of any car and can be
opened or closed or only partly OPP
ened, at the will of the driver.
The main advantage is said to be
that when it is open it is really all the
way open. Their care no Instructions
to the radiator and as a result the
car will not heat during warm or eX-
tremely hot weather, while during the
winter it is so arranged that it is al
most impossible for the radiator to
freeze. The shield closes from the
base of the radiator where the water
circulates the least and at which point
the water or liquid is always the
coolest.
Mr.. Lawrence is now preparing tc
issue a booklet with illustrations OF
his invention shown in different posi-
tions-closed, half closed and entirely
open and these illustrations will al
once show the advantages over the
shutter type of radiator shield. The
shield is being demonstrated on 6
number of cars in Oakland and else
where in the State.

PROSPERITY NO ACCIDENT
SAYS HERBERT HOOVER
1t Was Planned and Worked Out
On Shrewd Party Policies
Over a Period of Years

- Newark, N. j., Sept. 17-In
his address here tonight on La
Dor Problems, Herbert Hoover
emphatically declared that this
country's prosperity during the
last seven years has been the re-
suit of carefully considered Re-
publican governmental policies.
Mr.. Hoover warned that a
shift of government at this time
owing to the fundamental differ
ences in the avowed principles Of gov
eminent in the two parties might SER
iously interrupt the effectiveness of
the policies to which he largely at
tributes prosperity.
"Ours is the only country" he said,
''of which anything like such prosperi-
ty is true. Where other countries have
barely succeeded in struggling back
to pre-war bases, we have managed to
improve our situation far beyond that,
and in such a way as to reflect that
improvement into conditions sur
rounding our humblest homes"
Mr.. Hoover said in part:
Real wages and standards of living
of our labor have improved more dur
ing the past seven and half years OF
Republican rule than during any SINH
lar period in the history of this or Of
any other country.
When l speak of wages l refer both
to those who work at the bench anc
those who work at the desk. Nol
is this addressed to men alone. More
than ten million women march tt
work every morning side to side with
the men. l include also the woman
who stays at home. She is partner
in the job and the wages.
The very foundation of economic
progress to our industrial and bust
ness employees is full and stable EN-
ployment. A continued surplus of un
employed workers means decreasing
wages, increasing hours and fears fol
the future. To protect labor, 10 main
tain it's prosperity, to abolish power
ty, we must so organize our economic

houses of farmers nearby and prey on
the birds of the forest.
"And even if they don't find the
chicken coop, who wants to keep an
army of cats. They'll only turn into
two armies before long and in a few
short years, an open season on the
feline species would have to be pro-
claimed by the game warden. pro
viding of course the S. P. c. A. didn't
try to interfere.)"
The Republican is no authority on
the care of kittens or cats, but as
this is the season for giving out adj
vice, could it suggest the following?
If you like cats, keep them.
If you like the cats kittens, keep
them.
If you don't like cats kittens, get
rid of them either by shooting or
drowning-not by taking them to the
edge of town where somebody else
must be responsible for your irres-
possibility.
If you like cats but don't like the
cats kittens, and don't have the heart
to get rid of them except by driving
to the edge of town and dropping
them-then- don't keep that kind of
a cat.
