OUR HERO DEAD

Small George, with Ratchet in
his hand,
Was stalling round his faith
er's land.
He saw a tree all sere and
brown;
Said he, "That tree, I'll cut it
down.
"A tree with leaves, and cher
ries lacking;
1t is no use. " He went to
hacking.
And soon upon the ground it
lay.
Then Georges daddy CHANGED
that way.
He viewed the ruin George had
done.
He spoke. Ibid you do this, my
SOM"
While speaking he had noted
switches,
And so had George, and felt
some twitches,
But looked square into his
fathers eyes.
II cut that tree; I'll tell no lies,
I thought indeed it was no good
But now / know twas made Of
wood
l was sir, tempted to use my
axe,
And these, I think, are all the
facts"
And speaking of that hewing
tale,
George cut it clean, he did not
fail.
In later years, when he was
grown,
His deeds of valor are well
known.
He faced his foes when duty
called,
And never seemed to be ap-
palled;
He trusted in the God of might
And felt that problems would
come right.
His. deeds proclaimed through
all the earth,
Showed him MON of c0l;d
worth.
The passing years, they can but
add
A prestige to the fame he had.
For coming generations will
will hear
OF him, and will his name
revere.
And thus he'll live, as time will
go;
His name, his deeds, all men
will know.

In the days of the California gold
rush everybody was so busy digging
for gold that the homelier household
chores were neglected. With gold
beckoning. no one was willing to work
at plain jobs. There was no land
communication with the East, but
ships were constantly plying to China.
The forty-niners acquired the habit Of
sending their washing to China, get
ting It back In two or three months.
This showed the Chinese that there

MEETING OF DA1RYMEN
AND STOCKsfEN

The producers of livestock and
the dairymen Of Maryland viii be
given the opportunity to consider the
proposed livestock marketing organ
ization which is being sponsored by
the Maryland Farm Bureau Fedora
ton at meeting to be held Thursday
evening, March 3, at 7:30 P. M. in
the Court House at Elkton.
Among the speakers who will be
present will be Mr.. L. B. Mann,
representing the Federal Farm
Board, Mr.. S. B. Shaw, Chief
Inspector Maryland State Depart
ment of Markets, j. w. Jones,
Chairman of the Maryland Farm
Bureau Livestock Committee and
Secretary Treasurer Of the Eastern
Livestock Cooperative Marketing
Association, F. M. Payne, Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation and the
Maryland Farm Bureau livestock
Cooperation Marketing Association,
Inc. and Mr.. Lloyd Balderston, 3rd,
Maryland's Master Farmer for 1882.
For years, it has been the ambition
of organized Agriculture to set up a
cooperative marketing agency in
the Baltimore market, and within
the last several months, possibilities
of successful agency have been
made possible by a similar interest
on the part Of the following states:
New York, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, North Carolina, PEN
nsylvania and Maryland.
The Eastern Livestock Co-opera-
tive Marketing Association was in
corporated and has entered into
agreement with the Maryland Farm
Bureau Livestock Cooperative Mar
keting Association to serve the pro-
ducers and dairymen of MARYLAND.
1t is hoped that the producers will
subscribe to the movement so that
active operations can be started in
the immediate future.
In livestock, as in no other commo-
dity, the leaders feel that immediate
success can be accomplished which
will result in the saving the produ-
GERS many dollars, not only in the
saving of commissions, but in the
actual increase in prices received for
the product.
It is understood that a producer
buying one share of Common Stock
at $l.OO share not only becomes a
member of the Eastern Association,
but is automatically member of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Livestock
Association.
The livestock to be marketed
through the association will include
hogs, sheep and lambs, beef cattle,
and Gull dairy cows and young stock
which the dairyman has to dis
posed of.
AL Cecil County farmers who are
interested in securing the most
money possible for livestock are in
vited to attend the meeting at the
Court House on Thursday evening,
March 3rd, at 7:30 P. M.

 rectors, Match Firm

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Damages aggregating s249, ,981 .oOo are asked from eight American directors of the International Match Company in the Supreme Court.
 The suit was filed yesterday by the Irving Trust Company, trus- tee in bankruptcy, for the late Ivar Kreuger's concern.
 The action, seeking specific dam ages, charges that the directors approved of dividend payments at various times since September g, 1926, when the corporation had in- sufficient assets to meet them.
 Among the defendants are Don aid Durant, Henry o. Havemeyer and Percy A. Rockefeller.
 The motion is also one seeking an accounting, which is combined with the damage suit. and alleges the directors wrongfuliy abdicated and delegated and surrendered to the Executive Committee, headed by Kreuger, their powers as di- rectors.

 without finding any of them fully prepared to deal with him, and had left completely baffled and defeated.
 Another source of complication has been the fact that one or more of the secretaries frequently have appeared wholly in the dark as to what the others and the President himself were doing about routine matters.
 Overlapping and lack of co-or- dination probably cannot be en- tirely eliminated from such sys- tenn but the more there is of it the more the President suffers and the weaker is the organization on which he relies for very im- portant things.

 T have no particular love for our American friends as far as business is concerned" said Fuller but I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

Two Speeches Are Slated For Friday Spring
 field, St. Louis

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. - With election day just one week off, President Hoover returned to the Capital today prepared for another Western swing starting Thursday in winding up the campaign and will probably continue to California to vote.
 Plans for the fifth Western jaunt were shaped today on the special train which arrived from the New York giant rally in Madison Square Garden last night.
 Definite arrangements now sched- uled are as follows: The President will speak in Springfield, Illinois, next Friday afternoon and in St. Louis Friday night.
 If the President continues to the coast, a speech will be made in Minneapolis, Minn., maybe.
 Friends of Hoover believed there will be no time to stop in Denver or Salt Lake City on his way to California.

 That issue is now clear. It was great speech by a great Presi- dent" said Senator Hebert.

Who's Wet; Who's Dry? That Is One Question Neither Side
 Has Been Able to Really List
By BYRON PRICE

There is so much straddling this year on prohibition that, neither the Anti-Saloon League nor the Association Against the Prohibi- tion Amendment, which have been canvassing sentiment among can didates for Congress, has been able to compile anything like a complete list of who's wet and who's dry. =. Thirty-six Demo- crats and four Republicans run ming for the House won't worry about the election returns; they are unopposed.
 Whatever it may mean as to New Jerseys electoral vote, Frank Hague is prominently reported to have been the principal intermed- nary during the peace negotiations between Franklin D.

With Gene Tunney, Tad Jones and AL bic Booth mixed up in the Con- necticut political scrimmage, the state might be suspected of over emphasis on athletics were it not for the classical presence also of Professors Hiram Bingham, Wilbur Cross, ct al.
