INVESTIGATION OF COUNTY
DEPENDENTS BEING MADE
Ninety People On List Require
Levy of $4,000 or More Each
Year, Public Records Show
LAWS HAVE BEEN ABUSED

AS side issue in the work of the
countrywide relief organization pro-
gram, but at the same time a very
important one, Miss Susan H. Dab
ney, member of the Children's Aid
Society of Baltimore, is now in Oak
land making an investigation of the
conditions surrounding the people on
the county INDECENT list, and whether
riot they are worthy of the help
which they are now receiving each
month from the County Commission
ers.
Miss Dabney is an associate worker
of Miss Katherine T. Kirwan, who has
been the head of the relief work Of
the county since about month before
Christmas and who has just returned
from her home to continue her work
here.
Ninety Dependents on List
There are ninety people ON the
county dependent list and an appro-
priation of approximately $4,000 is
made in the annual levy to cover the
cost of their maintenance. Expenses
incident to the dependents have gone
as high as $4,000, it is stated.
Miss Dabney will make a personal
investigation of each individual case,
inquire into the reasons why they
should be supported by the county,
whether or not they are able to work,
the size of the respective families and
whether or not they are as represent
ed on the record books in the Commits
sioners' Office.
List Has Grown
The dependent list has grown so
rapidly in recent years that the Com
missioners felt that a thorough in
vestigation was advisable, even
though many petitions for county aid
had the required five signatures OF
citizens and taxpayers of the COM
munity in which the applicant or APP
plicants resided.
Taken Advantage VI
That this requirement has been
taken advantage of is shown in the
fact that several weeks ago man
who receives aid from the county paid
his automobile tax and ordered his
1892 license plates from the voucher
issued to him by the county, according
to County Treasurer J. J. Ashby, Jr.
Several unworthy cases have been
stricken from the books within the
past Several weeks for reasons de-
veloped by thorough investigation, it
was learned from the Commissioners
yesterday.
This investigation is being made
at the suggestion of the Commission
ers and in keeping with the policy OF
the relief workers that nobody should
receive financial assistance, food or
clothing, without a payment of some
kind in return, providing those seek
ing aid were able to work.
Those on the list of dependents who
are incapacitated from work, will not
be affected.

Arctomys Monax Wants To Give
Up Job To Some Other Forest
Denizen In Garrett County

A personal interview with Arctomys
Monax, Familiarity known as Ground
hog, at his home in the Sang Run cave
on Monday of this week, as to his
chances of fooling the people again
this year with his capers on Febru-
airy second, brought to light number
of strange circumstances.
He became irritable upon first being
reused, but finally admitted he was up
against a stump this year. With
weather conditions in Garrett county
such as they are-dandelions in front
yards, onions in the garden, rose ram
blers with new leaves, buds budding,
temperatures of spring-he said he
didn't know whether to take a chance
next Tuesday and come out of his hole
or not.

II CLUB NEWS

There is a newspaper. The Globe
News, with live publisher in Amaril-
10, Texas. The publisher realized that
it was to everyone's interest that the
farms of the surrounding country be
operated on the most profitable basis.
Many of the farms had little or no
livestock, and grew too much grain.
Better care of livestock was also needed
on many farms. The paper conducted
a pork production contest with the idea
that the results would be great eye
opener And they sure were.
Imagine the surprise of the commu-
nifty when it was found that All boy
had made the best record in the con-
test. He was 16-year old J. T. Nc
Daniel, and he had won in competition
with lot of men who had raised hogs
a good many years. The boy gives
credit to County Agent G. B. Martin
who as his county club leader helped

Saxon Words "Waes Haze" J"
Meaning "Be in Health"

CHRISTMAS fare has always oc-
~ cupied a big part in Yuletide
celebration. Our Anglo-SaXOn fore"
fathers were excellent trencher-
men, and eating and drinking were
a necessary part of every gala day.
Stuffed boars' heads, peacocks,
geese, capons, pheasants. mince pie,
plum puddng-these decked the
board. The turkey was unknown.
That excellent fowl did not enter
into the bill of fare until the dis
covery of the New world. Of course,
there was drink aplenty. Punch
was the customary waSsail bowl.
This bowl takes it's name from the
Saxon words, ''waes hael," meaning
''be in health" 1t was great bowl
of punch into which baked apples
were thrown to enhance its flavor.
Mince pie originated in 1885. 1t
was first made from mutton. The
ruritans condemned it as an un-
godly dish, and the Quakers would
have none Of it.

him to apply SONS of the most approved
ideas for raising healthy and profitable
pigs.
One thing outstanding in the boys
record was that there had been no hogs
kept on the farm, SO there were no
facilities for them. They boy had to
provide them, and in doing so he was
very thrifty. Most of the things he
needed to raise pigs he made with his
own hands from plans the county agent
supplied from bulletins and books. The
boy made two self feeders, he con-
structed a self waterer from an old
barrel and some cement, built a cement
bath for the pigs, and a shade out Of
poles and bundles of grain of little
value. He also made three individual
hog houses which he moves to fresh
ground as needed. He also laid out
three pastures. These aids and bal.
anced ration did the trick.

grower.
Simething of the same sort is
happening with tobacco. In Italy
the government is the only manu-
facturer of cigars and cigarettes. It
used to import tobacco, mainly from
America. Now in the Southern part
of the peninsula and in the Afri-
can colonies Italy is growing five
sixths Of its own tobacco.
DISCIPLINE 49, honest dealings
All Italy is regimented. Every
business, industry and occupation is
organized. The Italian Parliament
is composed of members elected by
400 trade, industrial or agricultural
groups; they do not represent dis
tricts, they represent occupations.
These occupational guilds or syn
dicates have absolute freedom to
combine in any enterprise that is
for the public welfare. So has every
individual the right to make as
much money as he can, provided he
does it honestly. But there is plenty
of governmental supervision to see
that the public interest is served.
A number of persons who were
not satisfied to do business hon
estly, but persisted in disonest meth
ods, were summarily removed by the
Fascist organization.
Mussolini's government is ex-
tremely practical in it's methods.
