Pointing out that every State but
five had liquor laws of their own and
that many municipalities also had
enforcement statutes, the assistant
attorney general said local peace
officers numbered 175,O00, compared
to the 1850 Federal agents-a much
more adequate force for. making the
statutes effective. ..

Recently it was learned also from
Prohibition Director Woodcock that
no reduction in expenditures could
be expected in the enforcement bur-
eau. Congress appropriated $4,000,
900 for the present fiscal year and
this sum has to be divided with the
Treasury's industrial alcohol bur

total overhead of the two was some

SERVICE YOUR HOME
AS YOU DO YOUR CAR

When a man makes an investment
of $4,000 or of $4,000, he ordinarily
does all that he can to protect the
principal and to make the best use
of his returns.
Perhaps the greatest investment
man ever makes is when he buys
or builds his own home, and yet few
home owners service that invest
ment with adequate protection. If
he is to get major profits from home
ownership, a man would do well to
take as good care of his house as he
does of his automobile, applying the
same economy of subjecting it to pc
riodic checks. The automobile man
ufacturers have convinced car own
ers that regular checks on the oil,
the battery, tires, radiator water,
and motor extend the period of ef-
ficiency in a car and protect the in
Yestment for a resale or turD-in.
If home owners would check their
houses as they do their cars, judi
ciously spending few dollars once
or twice a year to prevent wastes,
they would be not only avoiding the
heavy expense of cumulative major
repairs but would also be keeping
their investment primed to its fullest
working capacity. When needed for
security or for an immediate turn
over, that investment would be ready
to serve them at once. Houses that
are obsolete or down-at-the-heel are
entered on the red side of the ledger.
The first indication of the condi-
tion of a house is, perhaps, the ap-
pearance of the porch, steps, and
railing. Good lumber gives almost
life long service, but in many cases
weather and decay have combined to
weaken the joints and boards. A
broken step or railing and scaling
porch paint detract from the trim
appearance of any house. here is
little expense in dressing up the
front of the house, as knOtty pine
can be used for the spindles in the
as a tight, sound knot in no
way impairs the stiffness of the wood
when it is used verticall.
When the major parts of the eX
terror and interior wooden portions
of the home are checked, it is wise |
for the householder to check the
roofing, the drains, the plumbing,
walls, and ceilings. Tests will be
given the house by the local contrac-
tors just as the automobile mechanic
gives tests to cars, and minor repairs
can then be made to keep the house
at its highest point of efficiency.

AT Cambridge it was reported that
Noysters were the usual size, but

D Forecasts from the State Conser-

&opened were that oysters would be
plentiful and of good size.
= Reports from deputy commanders
in Annapolis, West River, Herring

INSIDE INFORMATION

Take it for granted that your child
will eat happily everything served
to him, and be sure that he becomes
acquainted with a variety of foods.
When making apple jelly flavor a
few glasses with mint and add green
colOring. This will be appetizing to
serve with lamb.
Onions for storage should be we'll
ripened and thoroughly cured. Do
not store thick necks," or those
that are immature or soft. Good
storage onions will rattle almost like
blocks of wood when poured from
one cOntainer to another.
The ordinary fly net is of little
value in protecting horses from flies.
A blanket made of double thickness
of burlap, arranged to cover COM
pletely the ANIMALS back, sides, and
neck, is the most effective and mex
pensive protection against flies. The
legs may be covered with old trous-
ers. Leather nets or strips of leath-
er attached to the bride help to keep
the flies off the head. The stable fly
is particularly troublesome in Au-
gust and September.
During the work season feed the
farm horse only at regular intervals.
He needs concentrated feed for en-
ergy to do hard work, and the feed
ing of quantities of roughages in the
work season should be limited to pc
riods of rest. Excessive feeding of
hay is inadvisable; it is expensive,
reduces the horses efficiency, and
may cause respiratory troubles. Give
about two-thirds of the daily hay al
lowance at night, most of the re-
naming hay in the morning, and
only a small amount at noon. Some
hay should be fed before the night
grain ration. If the horse does not
clean up the grain ration in Tea-
sonable time, reduce the quantity.
Lettuce requires high fertiliza-
ton. In southern New Jersey the
growers apply one ton of bone meal
per acre just before planting the fall
crop. This gives a slowly available
but constant sources of plant food,
of phosphorus. CONNER
cial fertilizers analyzing from to
per cent nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent
phosphoric acid, and to per cent
potash are recommended by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. Apply
these broadcast at the rate of one !
lon or more per acre. Top dressing |
Of nitrate of soda, at the rate of not
more than 300 pounds per acre, may
be applied to the growing crop.

UPHOLDS CONTRACTS
FOR MAIL VESSELS

The impetus given to the upbuild-
ing of the American merchant ma
rine was pointed to as zone of the
great accomplishments of President
Hoovers administration" by w. Irv-
ing Glover, Assistant Postmaster
General who is in charge of the in
ternational postal service and the
supervision of ocean mail contracts.
Replying to an attack on the
American merchant marine policies
by A. P. Moeller, Danish ship owner,
at the recent Baltic and information
al maritime conference at Copen-
hagen, Mr.. Glover said that under
the American program fiftyS. six ves-
sells now under contract are to be
built at cost of over $300,000,O00.
'The people of the United States
are proud of this record" he assert
ed. Labor is enthusiastic over the
building program. The reports of
the great shipbuilding yards show
an increase in employment of 21 per
cent in nine months.
America is proud of it's merchant
marine and in five years it will be
even more so. Uncle Sam is just
striking his gait and when he does,
look out. There is shipping room for
all the world on the seven seas. But
the United States is planning to oc-
cupy it's seat and not be pushed off
by those other countries which might
be glad to see this accomplished"
Mr.. MoelleT, in addition to criticiz-
ing the American merchant marine
building program with its mail sub
ventions, introduced a resolution for
an "Open door policy" among the
maMtime nations of the world.
''Days are coming" Mr.. Glover
commented, when the fleets of all
countries will be called upon to car
ry the cargoes of the countries of
the world, and the United States will
never be satisfied to see its trade
carried in foreign bottoms.
"If Mr.. Moeller thinks the United
States can be frightened by mere
words and threats from its determi-
nation with the aid of Congress and
the Jones-White law, as admins
tered through the PostOffice Depart
ment, to have a real merchant ma
1 lllG WnlCn Will lnciluIdAu lam
with the nations of the world, he is
sadly mistaken.
"The United States is more deter
mined than ever to have a merchant
marine second to none. America is
trying to fool the American
people by letting foreign countries
control the seven seas with policy
which is almost one of complete
ownership.
"The United States is through
standing idly by and allowing great
sums of American dollars to drift
abroad and find their way into build
ing the great liners of recent produc-
lion, giving benefit to the foreign
wage Garner, while those in the
United States stand by and see the
ways of the American shipyards idle
md the seamen of this country twid-
lie their thumbs as foreign flagships |

Continued from First Pagel

the degree of insect infestation will

Gated during the next few weeks
because of the activity of the Orient

pest in this section of the state. The
situation has reached the stage,
therefore, that by only organized and

mentary control measures can in
Hesitation be reduced to a point at
which the codling moth can be con-
