Fourteen picketing farmers
were wounded about midnight
Tuesday near Cherokee, Iowa,
when they were hit by gunshOt
from car going thru the pick
ct lines. Gas bombs were also
thrown from the car proceeding
the shooting. The sheriff, Ar
thur I'll. TiltOn. stated that he
had no connection with the
shooting. Whether the men in
the car were deputies or mot has
not been determined. The sher-
tiff and the County Attorney r.
G. ROdman of Cherokee, Iowa,
have started an Investigation"
Of the shooting. The heriff
has also used the shooting as an
excuse to call on the governor to
establish martial law in the
state.
The sheriff has not even gone
to the trouble of blaming the
shooting on the pickets. Only
farmer pickets have been wOun-
dred so far as is known at
this time. And yet the sheriff
calls for the national guard.
The militia is being called to
crush the strike and for no other
purpose. The sheriffs have been
looking for an incident" to get
in the militia to break the strike

any longer. It's hot as blazes and
the water ought to be warm, even if
it was below freezing this morning.
I'll show up these young bucks who
think they can get in the water faster
than I. I'm only 81 and my blood still
moves pretty fast through my veins.
Boy, the water could feel warmer
on the finger tips, but 1 mustn't say a
word to the others or they'd know
what washout I am as a bullfrog.
What a chill that sent up my spine
and only stuck in one big toe. So

Too late; here comes the others rum

DR.. E. N. Corey, State Entomologist
for Maryland. One pound of sugar
and 1875 grains of arsenate of soda
are boiled in a quart of water until
the arsenate of soda is thoroughly dis
solved. A tablespoon of honey added
to the mixture will attract the ants
more readily.
One of the best ways to distribute
the poison is in shallow containers,
such as pill boxes which have been
treated previously with parafin to
make them water proof. The poison
should puposely be made weak so that
worker ants will carry it back to the
nest and feed the queen and young
ants.
Often the little red ants will not
take the above poison, in which case
the following mixture will prove eff
fective: One pound of sugar, three
ounces of honey and 81 grains of
thallium sulphate brought to boil in
one pint of water, while stirring Wig
orously.
If the large black ants, which are
found so often in the house, do not
seem to relish the poison bait mixed
with honey, then it should be spread
on the inside Of piece of ham rind
as they are very fond of fatty sub
stances. busting around the entrance
places, base boards and crevices with
sodium f1uorid is also effective and if
the nesting place outside can be found
which is usually hollow tree, it may
be fumigated with carbon bisulphide
DIR. Cory warns that since all the
above mixtures are poisonous to man
they should be handled carefully and
the exact amount of poison weighed
out by druggist.

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
J. H. CARTER,
Resident County Agent,

Time Now To Clean Poultry Houses
For Body Lice and Mites
In the spring, among other things,
that a poultryman's fancy turns to,
are thoughts of how to get rid of body
lice and roost mites in the poultry
house. According to the poultry cal
endar prepared by the University of
Maryland Extension Service, nicotine
sulphate has been found most effec.
tive in dealing with body lice and a
solution of crank case oil and crude
carbolic acid or cresol disinfectant wild
eradicate mites.
In dealing with body lice, if the
roosts are dirty, they should be care
fully cleaned with a scraper or stiff
brush and wiped free of dust. The
upper surfaces of the perches and sup
ports should then be smeared with
the nicotine sulphate, full strength,
which may be poured on in a thin
stream and spread with a paint brush
or rag.
Nicotine sulphate BLACK Leaf For
ty) may be obtained from most deal
ers carrying complete line of spray
supplies or from druggists and one
good treatment at this time and an
other in August should keep the birds
comparatively free of lice. One ounce
will treat from twelve to fifteen lin
ear feet of roosts or for a house 20
by 20 feet, holding from 100 to 1876
birds, five ounces will be required.
Crank case oil, to which has been
added about one-fourth part of crude
carbolic acid or cresol disinfectant,
will serve very well in the eradication
of roost mites, according to the calen-
dar. AS with body lice, the roost poles
should be cleaned thoroughly and then
they and all cracks and crevices should
be painted with the mixture. Where
the mites are particularly bad, the
mixture should be flooded on freely.
In covering, include parts of the walls
adjacent to roosts and dropping
boards. Another treatment should
follow in August.
Ants May Be Controlled With Several
Effective POisons
In spite of respect for the diligence
and industry of the ant, there are few
persons who are not anxious to get rid
of them, especially when these little
insects select the front lawn for their
activities. When such an invasion of
the lawn takes place, or for that mat
ter any other part of the home, suit
able measures of control are in Or
der and one of the best of these for
Maryland is poison bait made with
sugar, water and arsenate of soda.
This poison bait is both easy and
inexpensive to prepare, it is stated by
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-06-02

Then why isn't something of that
kind done? The reason is not too
much partisan politics, but too much
personal politics. There is not too
much party discipline in Congress. In
fact, there is not enough of it, either
in the Republican or the Democratic
organization. The proof of this is to
be found in the pitiable plight in the
House at the time majority rejected
the manufacturers sales tax and then
went haywire, with each individual or
little bloc promoting a policy of its
own. The partisan leaders in Con-
gress were not responsible for this
plight of Congress. In fact they would
have prevented it if they could from
both patriotic and partisan motives.
The politics which have mussed things
up in Congress is not partisan poll
tics, but selfish, individual politics.
Too many legislators have been trying
to legislate from the local rather than
the national viewpoint. They have
not asked of themselves the question,

Three years ago, only one man of
the News-Globe organization could be
out of town at time and he had to
leave at the last minute and get back
as soon as possible. Many times

sat through three hours of bunk in
order to make 5-minute speech, then
drive the 100 miles back so as to be
ready for work the next morning.
Nowadays, as many News-Globe
employees as are invited make those
trips and we stay as long as we want
to. The whole outfit could leave the
office now and it wouldn't make any
difference.

It's great to drop into store and

not feel that you are wasting valuable
time. I like the depression.
1 am getting acquainted with folks
who have been living next door to me

Biblical admonition, "Love your neigh

She is a dandy; 1 am getting ac-

Three years ago l ordered my
clothes from a merchant tailor-two
or three suits at time. All my clothes
were good ones. l was always dressed

political parties, who have positions
of authority going along with their
leadership. Most of these leaders are
really anxious that Congress complete
its program and go home. They well
realize that the best thing for the flu
ture success of the party to which
they happen to belong, is to have that
party's representatives in Congress
help devise a real constructive pro-
gram and hasten through with it to
completion.

"What is the best thing for Uncle
SAM" but what will get the most
votes in my district or my State next
fall?" This has not been the case
with all of our legislators or even
with the majority of them, but it has
been the case with enough of them to
seriously upset the regular party pro-
grams. These statesmen with the To-
Called viewpoint have not stopped to
think that if Uncle Sam goes down
their districts and their states will
go down along with him.
So what we have had in Congress
has been too much non-partisan, per-
sonal politics and not enough party
discipline. With two smoothly work.
ing old-time political organizations in
the House and Senate, we would have
had balanced budget long before
this. Each week that Congress fails
in its accepted task of balancing the
budget the more serious the national
situation becomes. Business men in
America are afraid to start any sort
of constructive program until they
know what sort of legislation is COM
ing out of Congress and Europeans
have become so suspicious of our Con-
gress that for several weeks they have
been withdrawing their gold from the
United States as rapidly as possible.
Isn't it about time we begin to con-
slider the United States first rather
than Podunk County? For if Uncle
Sam does not get back to normally
it is sure thing that Podunk County
won't either.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
BY FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Every once in a while we see state
ments in the newspapers written by
prominent leaders, urging the men,
bers of Congress, on account of the
seriousness of the national economic
situation to forget politics, settle
down, pass tax bill, balance the bud
get and go home, to give business a
chance to start on a much needed re-
covery. Then we see in reply, indig-
nant statements from members of
Congress to the effect that Congress is
not playing politics and that there is
really a bipartisan effort to put
through adequate financial measures.
This square disagreement would
seem to indicate that somebody is mis-
taken, but it is possible that the lead
ers inside Congress and out, are not
so far apart in their statements as
would seem likely at first thought.
There may be politics in both branches
of Congress and without doubt there
is, but it is not partisan politics, but
selfish personal politics. The politics
that is being played is not being fur
thered by the leaders of the two great

MANY people who play social
WI and party BRYCE are at a loss
to know how the new rules and
scoring affect their game.
Even the ones who have studied
the rule book carefully find it full
of references to rubbers and rubber
premiums which have no place in
progressive or pivot bridge at all
As a matter Of fact, the code
of laws issued on Nov. l applied to
rubber bridge only, and did not in
clude instructions for party or So
cial bridge.
Laws for those games recently
we're issued by the American Bridge
League, and will explain Friday
how they differ from the old rules.
The most important change is the
addition of the premium or bonus
Of 100 points for making a con-
tract less than game.
OF course, we all are accustomed
to the game premium of 300 points
when not vulnerable and 500 points
when vulnerable.
Authorities always have felt that
a less-than-game score should have
some value in addition to the count
for the tricks taken.
n
THIS Hotpoint bonus is scored
4 by side whenever it success
fully fulfllls its contract, but the
value of the contract is not suffi-
Gent to go game.
The premium of 100 points is ex-
actly the same whether the con-
tract is undoubled, doubled or re-
doubled, but of course if the dou-
bled or redoubled value of the con-
tract is sufficient for game, then
the game premium is scored in
stead of the less-than- game pre-
MUM.
The new trick values and under
trick penalties will be used, but
these are familiar to most players
by this time and can be found on
any score pad.
In progressive or pivot bridge it
is proper to play four deals and
then progress or change partners,
the side making the highest total
score in the four deals figuring an
additional premium of $50 points
for winning the round.
The rules for vulnerability are
the same as they always have been,
but many players do not have them
clearly in mind and it perhaps is
well to repeat them here.
On the first deal of each round
no one is vulnerable; on the second
and third deals, only the dealers
side is vulnerable; and on the
fourth deal, both sides are vulner-
able.
If a hand is passed out, it shall
not be redealt by the same player
The score for that deal is entered
on the score pad as zero and the
deal passes to the next player.
When this occurs. only three deals

are played at that round instead OF
four.
The rule Of party bridge which is
most frequently violated is the
one concerning plus and minus
scores. Many players record on their
tallies only the points made by their
side and disregard the points made
by the opponents entirely.
That is not the correct wav to
score at progressive parties and is
not according to the rules Of the
game.
a PROPERLY designed tally
IA provides spaces for both MY
Score and Opponents Score"
Both entries should be made at
each round and when the game is
over, both columns should be added
separately. A credit of $50 points is
given for each round won and added
directly into MY Score"
If My Score is larger than "Op-
ponents' Score" chen 1 have a net
plus score for the entire game. while
If Opponents Score is greater,
then l have a net minus score.
The player having the highest net
plus score wins the prize.
Doubles and redoubles should be
permitted at bridge parties, but no
side may score more than 1000
points on one deal.
However, the full amount of loss
should be scored by the losing side.
In cases where slam is bid and
either made or defeated, this limit
does not apply.
