Second and Third Grade News


 In consequence of the study of the principles of arbitration in connec- tion with the Pronunciation of War" pact, the second and third grades decided to adopt this method in the settlement of knotty prob lem regarding the ownership of some marbles. As the question involved highly technical points in the game, such as grabbing dakes, killings, va rious dough babies, etc., (possibly even the Spaulding 1880 Rules for Marble Playing), the judges were required to be high class specialists in the game as we'll as able and fair minded jurists. Jack Waters, Leon ard Campbell and Harry Sundberg were chosen judges.
 Billy Gross, ably assisted by his star witness, (whose vigorous, not to say belligerent manner on the stand must have, one felt, thorough ly cowed the opposition) put up forceful exposition of his side of the caes. Leonard Churchill and Albert Teller of the opposite camp, being of pacific dispositions were willing to accept a compromise in which Billy got three marbles and each of them only two apiece, the difficulty apparently being the division of the extra marble.
 The boys were stumped by this problem in higher mathematics and probably would have been willing to draw straws or anything else rather than figure it out. The judges stated that their difficulties were increased by the tendency or the contending parties to all speak at once in moments of tension. How ever, the verdict was unanimously accepted without motion of appeal.
 One feels that moral might be drawn from the incident, namely, that the individual putting up the most strenuous holler gets the best

 Last week the biology class went on two field trips. The first one took them to the beach near the cemetery where they collected mus sels, clam shells and small spider crabs. The second trip proved to be very unsuccessful. The class went to the old min pond but on ac- count of the ice did not find any an- imal life whatsoever.
 The Girls Athletic Club went to the park on Tuesday, April 8, and after playing an exciting baseball game, had very appetizing supper. The girls returned to town about 5:30 o'clock in the Bug driven by Einar Ottesen.
 The first Student Dance sponsored by the Girls Athletic Club was giv- en last Friday evening at the gym. The dance began at 9 o'clock and broke up shortly after 12 o'clock. At 11:30 a lunch of cake and cof- fee was served by the girls.
 A test on musical signs and abbre- viations was given in Music Appre- citation last Tuesday.
 Report cards were given out last Tuesday. The grades showed much improvement over the last six weeks grades.
 All of the six-weeks' exams were completed Friday, April II.
 Miss Crouch's room went on a field trip Wednesday morning to the beach to collect different specimens of animal life there.

Dairy farming is one of the leading
agricultural industries of Maryland
Milk probably will always be the pri-
mary dairy product of the state be-
cause of the demand for fluid milk by
the four comparatively near large
cities, Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburgh.
The average cow gives birth to her
first calf at about two and one-half
years of age and thereafter remains
in the milking herd for approximately
five years. In 1928 is was estimated
that there were $4,000 dairy cows
two years old and over on farms in
Maryland. On the basis that one
fifth of the dairy cows on the average
will have to be replaced annually this

AN ORDINANCE
of the Mayor and Town Council

SCOOPS COLUMN
BY SCOOP--HIMSELF

The prison gray paint which was
just recently applied on The Republi-
can office by Combs G. West, partners
in the art of building makeup, didn't
have any effect in keeping Scoop in
Oakland because here he is sitting on
his bunk at scout camp with a sun
burned back, and briar scratches all
over his legs.
Thus far the ants have stayed out
of the bed, and the flies out of the
soup, but the hornets still remember
me from last year.
Due to the long drought Scoop
thought it was necessary to sacrifice
the camp in order that all might have
rain. No one ever went to camp
without hitting rainy period, and
true to old custom, it happened. The
scouts are now taking credit fol
breaking the dry spell.
Since Scoop is on his vacation
there really shouldn't be anything In
this column this week, but the boss
editor insisted because he wanted his
subscribers to be at least partially
satisfied.
Archibaldson might add something
to this before it gets in print, but
doubt it. He likes to keep his reputa-
ton.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-08-07

means that 37,400 heifer calves must
be raised each year simply to main
tain the present number of dairy cows.
In order to allow for probable deaths
among the young stock, some increase
in the size of the herd, and to permit
careful selection, the dairyman finds
it necessary yearly to keep approx
mately three heifer calves for each ten
COWS; for Maryland this means the
raising of $1,000 heifer calves annual
ly.
The high prices asked for cows, the
difficulty of buying healthy cows at
any price, the probability of intro
ducing diseases into the herd and the
fact that the experiences of many
dairymen show that usually little or
no improvement results from the
practice of buying cows to maintain
the herd, is tending to discourage this
practice and to encourage the breeding
and raising of the best heifer calves.
The most practical way to improve
the quality of dairy herd is to use
only good purebred sires and to raise
heifer calves from the best cows in
such a way that they will be strong,
healthy and vigorous at maturity.
The question is, How do you know
the sire you are using is a good one,
will his daughters have an increase
milk production over their dams? The
most satisfactory and economical way
to determine the value of herd sire
is through Dairy Improvement As
ISOLATION. By using the records of a
Herd Improvement Association it is
possible to select the best calves from
the highest producing dams thereby
increasing the value and the income
from your herd.
A Dairy Herd improvement asso-
citation has been recently organized in
Garrett county and is doing excellent
work. Every dairyman is invited to
make inquiry in regard to results OBJ
tanned. The County Agent will be
glad to discuss this work with you.

County Agent.
