Fellow Picnic Haters

Cecil Smith and Walter Dawson
have a masterpiece which they want
all fellow picnic haters to read. The
epistle was written by Walter, and
here it is:
Don't ever let anybody ever fool you
into going on another picnic. On Sun
day, loaded down with deviled eggs,
potato salad, iced tea, and tomatoes
we pulled out from Oakland headed
for the country. Everything went
fine until we got to Hoopole ridge and
had a fiat tire. Cecil Smith, the
only other man present, had the good
fortune to mash his finger on the jack
and he had to sit in the shade while
I changed tires.
We turned off on a dusty road, one

Group Action Essential To Solve
Farm Problems
The controversy regarding reduc-
ton of acreage planted in wheat,
which has been given prominence in
the press throughout the country,
serves to emphasize the need for and
value of such events as the Farmers
Marketing Conference that will be
held at the University of Maryland
on August IL to Is, according to DIR.
T. B. Symons, Director of Extension.
A successful marketing program, he
states, must be based upon program
of production that is planned in the
light of all the information that can
be obtained regarding supply and de-
mand as well as other economic con-
ditions.

Will midget golf be followed by
pee wee baseball, pony horseshoes,
and wee wee football?
It is hot enough in Oakland but
consider yourself thankful. Look
what is happening elsewhere. Pop
corn in Georgia is popping on the
stalks in the fields. Hens in Kansas
are laying hard boiled eggs, and per-
sons in those countries have never
heard of Lifebuoy soap.
If the farmers of this section want
it to rain, here is a suggestion. Gov
ernor Richie went into the eastern
part of the State the other day to
make political speech and i'm
mediately it started raining, breaking
long drought. Governor didn't need
it because he is all wet anyway.

How To Be A Diver on 20 Minutes
A day
The crowd was standing around on
German Thayer's pier. Many had been
diving the jack-knife, swan, etc. Sud-
denly / heard the ringleader's voice
say, eve will now have an exhibition
dive from Scoop of The Republican
Office, 1t came like flash of light
ming. He was unexpectedly calling on
me for a dive. No time to beg off
no chance to wriggle down the ladder.
AS l started to get up, heard
litter run around the platform.
"Watch him make a fool of himself"
overheard someone whisper. "He's
so scared of the diving board he will
faint if he stands on it."
"Hell die on his feet" came another
whisper. "This is going to be funnier
than Chic Sales Specialist
I knew they were laughing at me
and expecting me to make myself

started for the board. Almost from
the first step the smiles of doubt and
derision faded from their faces. My
firmness h d them incredulous-
amazed. Instantly the atmosphere be-
came so tense that you could have
heard pin drop, but it didn't. No
smokers nor sneers now-nothing but
breathless attention. walked calmly
to the board-and taking my nose
between my thumb and index finger,
I jumped feet first and let gravity
take it's course-which they had all
been expecting from the beginning
anyhow, and just couldn't disappoint
them.
Even if Scoop could dive, he could
never make the splash that Archibald
son does. Col Bell caught him just as
he hit the water the other day and it
shows him in his usual position while
wound up in jack-knife affair.

NEW YORK MONEY
HELD BACK OF VETS
Henry Ford Accuses Big In
terests of Supporting Boot.
Ieggers of Country.
BY the Associated Press.

by LHe ASSOCIATED ETeSB.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE New
York World today quotes Henry Ford
as saying that the big money interests
OF New York are back of the bootlegging
in this country, and that liquor inter-
eSts are concentrating near his factories
in Dearborn. Mich, because they know
he is q dry.
The World sent a staff representa-
tive to Dearborn to establish, it explains,
how much comfort and prosperity the
eighteenth amendment has brought to
Dearborn. The mission was inspired
by Ford's telegram last week to the
House judiciary committee describing
the amendment as the greatest force
for comfort and prosperity OF the United
States.
do you think I don't know who is
back of the bootlegging in this coun-
try?" Ford is quoted.
1T Is the big money interests In New
York. You don't think that the boot
leggers could finance these big liquor
deals themselves, do you?
do you think don't know that
liquor Is sold in Dearborn? OF course
l know 1t. 1t Is sold here because the
liquor interests are concentrating IN
this neighborhood because they know ]
am a dry.
Prohibition can be enforced, because
we enforce 1t here at the factory. ]
simply won't let men work here If they
drink.
Why are the New York newspapers
so interested in prohibitionp I'll tell
you why. 1t Is because they are con-
trolled and they do what they are told.
Everybody wants to show up Henry
