Of years and we have come to the
point. where we must take the cost
into consideration.
I am only a common farmer. but
one who has observed and has taken
considerable interest in school affairs
for the past 20 years, and am espe-
cially interested in the education OF
the rural populace of this great state
Of ours. I am an advocate OF educa-
ton aud more education and believe
money spent on education is a good
investment. but believe VIC should ex-
pcct 100 cents worth Of education for
every dollar spent for that purpose.
I believe a college education should
be looked upon as a financial asset,
even though 1t a not be immediate
ly converted into cash after gradu-
alton.
While our boys and girls. pupils of
our rural schools are deserving Of first
consideration, education means some
thing more than this, and viewing
education in this larger sense, I see
in DR.. Picks suggestions certain pro-
posals that will tend to retard rather
than advance rural education.
DR.. Pick states The teacher training
situation in North Dakota is similar
to the glutted wheat market and
mentions the fact that the one-room
rural schools of the state offer the
largest field to the teaching profess
sion and suggests enacting q law that
would require at least n year nor
NAL above a high school education to
teach In the state. He stated that

St. Patrick in Jam!
Hebrew Paternity
Is Alleged!

HARRISBURG, Pa, March
25.-St. Patrick, patron saint of
the Emerald Isle. has already
been labeled a Welchman, and
now they are trying to make
him Hebrew.
The latest report on the race
of the saint was made by State
Senator Salus, of Philadelphia,
reporting to the State Senate
here. The senator began an in
vestigation of the birth date of
st. Patrick, acting upon a reso-
luton offered in the senate on
st. Patrick's Day, based on pos
ters which had been placed
about the halls of the capitol,
calling attention to a st. Pat
rick's Day celebration on March
"a instead of March 27.
Senator Salus and two as
sistants discovered the saint
may be claimed by the Hebrew
race. since a man named Patric-
ius led the Jews in the fourth
century against the Byzantine
Empire.

Jamaica, N. Y.
The Smith car, according to

MURDER QUIZ
Death of Keeper UnsoIved as
Government Agents Seek to'
Identify Vessel Near Scene

CRISFIELD, Md, March Is.
An apparently murdered man, .
but with no wound or evidence.
of how he died. :
This is the enigma which COM
tinued to haunt Department Of
Justice operatives today as they.
entered on the second week Of
their investigation into the
strange death of Ulman Owens,
55-year-old keeper of the lonely,
windsWept lighthouse on Holland
Bar, in Tangier Sound, three
miles from land. =
More Agents Sent
In an attempt to break through
the mystery, two more agents
have been sent here and an
autopsy has been performed In
an effort to find traces of poison
or to confirm the verdict of a
coroner's jury that Mr.. Owens
died of heart attack.
Such a verdict is contradicted
by the fact that the lighthouse
bore evidence of a terrific strug-'
gle, when Mr.. Owens body was
found March Is after the light
had failed to shine for two
nights. -'sr.
The keepers living room was
almost wrecked. A bloodstained
knife lay near the body and
Sheriff Luther Daugherty found
a bloodstain on the outside wall
of the lighthouse. -
Bruise Over Eye
But the body bore no wound,
beyond bruise over the eye,
which the examining physician
insisted could not have caused
death.
Sheriff Daugherty and Mr..
Owens family believe the keeper
was slain by liquor runners oper.
ating in Tangier Sound. -
This theory assumed first rank
in the minds of investigators to-
day, when it became known that
a vessel without lights was seen
near the lighthouse early on the
night of March IA, when MIR.
Owens died. ~
This information was contained
in a report by the captain Of
the steamer Marydel to Dis
trict Attorney Simon E. Sobelon
at Baltimore.
The skipper described the vessel
as a. converted submarine chaser.

COUNTY HEADS
HOLD CONTROL
Of FORCE
Severe Restrictions Placed
on Securities; Oath Provided
Where Realty Is Submitted

ANNAPOLIS, March 25.-Com-
plete control of the Prince
Georges county police force would
be given to the board of county
commissioners under the terms
Of bill introduced in the house
Of delegates yesterday by the
county Democratic delegation.
The bill provides no continuance
OF connections between the force
and the sheriff.
The professional bonding bill,
promised by both political parties
in the last campaign and recon-
mended by the October grand
jury, also was submitted by the
Prince GeOrgians.
Aimed at alleged collusion be-
tween justices, police and bonds
men, the bill provides that any
judge or officer of the law ac-
cepting fees from bondSmen
will be subject to dismissal.
OA SVAACA IS DCAluCu
Under the police bill, II con-
stables at large will be appointed,
uniformed and equipped. One
appointee will serve as chief of
police at $2,100 per year; two as
sergeants at $1,000 per year, and
The remainder privateS at $500
per year. Each man is granted
$500 per year for maintenance of
automobiles and uniforms.
Although the chief would be
directly in charge of the men,
complete control would be re-
served for the county commits
SlonerS, who are designated to
draw up set of regulations for
the force.
The commissioners could re-
move any man from the force on
five days written notice. No pro-
vision for suspension by the chief
was made.
Bond Oath Provided
The bill further provides a po-
lice headquarters in Marlboro and
a substation in or near Hyatts-
vile. Members of the force
would be on duty at these sta
tions day and night.
Perhaps the outstanding feature
of the bonding bill is the oath
whereby terms must be made be-
fore surety may be accepted. The
bill provides that the true value
of real estate offered as surety
must be given, its assessment as
listed in the assessors office,
liens, judgment and other IN
cumbrances, included. If unin-
numbered. the bill states, property
may be given for bond at four
times it's assessed value.
Any bondsmen breaking this
oath, it is provided, may be prose
cuted for perjury.
