 Senator Wheeler proposes to do the same thing with silver, some thing that was done for genera tions before until the most colossal swindle that was ever perpstrat- ed upon nation. stopped it.

 Under the Wheeler bill which establishes the value ratio between silver and gold of Is to l, you would go to United States mint with 371A grains of pure silver. the government would add 41A grains of alloy, make it round as it did with the gold dollar, stamp E Pluribus Unum' on it and give it back to you. This would be a silver dollar and this is what the free coinage of silver means. In other words the cost of the alloy and the cost of minting is paid by the government. It cannot be said that there is anything mys- terious about this. It might in- terest you to know that every ma- ior panic that history records has resulted from one and only one thing. IL is true that there have been panics in spots due to various and entirely different causes, but every widespread panic has been brought about by a shortage Of what we call money
 Cause of Rome's Downfall The downfall of Rome was caused by a failure of the Greek and Spanish mines to produce gold and silver. We are facing a similar condition today. though it is not due to the failure of our mines.
 "As if conscious of the helpless lness of man, Providence has wisely provided two metals that are pe- culiarly fitted for money when used together.

metal shortages will continue to cause panics in the future, but serious imitation from production alone has never been known and is not likely to occur
 MT. Hasse quoted from a letter he had written all ether Alaskan Chambers as follows:
 There is no discussion of the economic question in Congress to- day that does not lead to the sil- yer question and it cannot lead elsewhere. There is no question of doubt but that restoration of the money function to silver would reflect improved conditions overnight, and the men who are unSelfishly fighting for this solic- it and need your help.
 IneresGe Commodity Prices
 Tt is conceded by all that re- covery from our economic ills can only come from an increase in the commodity price level, and the Wheeler bill, through money ex- pansion, would bring about this very thing. r No one would deny that debt incurred by a halibut fisherman at time when he was receiving Is cents for his halibut would involve exactly eight times the expenditure of labor on his part to repay that debt after the price of halibut had fallen to 2 cents and so t is all along the line, irrespective of whether debts are private or public.
 At the instance of Hon. Jona- than Bourne who is supporting the Wheeler bill with all the power of his great ability, I am addressing letter to all the Chambers of Commerce in the Territory to ask them if they will not give the Wheeler bill their strongest con- sideration and support
 Tt is the most important bill that has been introduced since the abolition of slavery It is in- tended to emancipate mankind from economic slavery.
 Tt means not alone recovery for Alaska but recovery for the nation and the world

A TREE THAT NEEDS TRIM.
MING

The National Safety Council
points out that the trend of
motor vehicle fatalities might
be likened in shape and growth
to a fir tree. In the early days
of motoring it's first branches
appeared. Every year these
branches have spread wider
until their shadow overcasts
our whole national life. At
various intervals efforts have
been made to enlist public aid
in trimming the tree, with
small or non-existent results.
In 1915, the automobile took
$500 lives. In 1920, it took
$4,000. In 1925, $1,000 per-
sons died unnecessarily be-
cause Of carelessness or incom-
petence. In 1881, the CHASTITY
total reached $4,000. The ac-
cident tree had reached it's
greatest height.
Last year two things hap
pened to the tree. First, it's
nourishment has dwindled,
gasoline consumption being
we'll under former levels. Sec
ond, a certain part of the pub
lie has determined to do some
thing about automobile acct
dents, and do it now. AS a re-
suit, the 1882 branch of the
tree was somewhat shorter
than the year before, by about
1000 lives.
But, as the Council says,
more woodsmen and better
tools are needed. A trimming
job partly done is useless, and
the branches soon sprout
again, larger and tougher than
before.

BEER is HERE-WHO WILL
DRINK 1T

Our country has resolved to
raise a revenue of $150,000,000
from beer. To secure this rev.
enue, at $500 barrel, the
brewers must sell thirty mil
lion barrels of beer containing
thirty-one gallons each. This
means an average for every
man, woman and child in the
United States Of TT gallons.
But in spite of a great adver-
Using campaign in the papers,
magazines and over the radio,
many people will not drink
beer. Many states still pro-
hibit sale of beer to children
and many homes will keep
beer from the children in 9TH
er states. Factories, and rail-
roads are not likely TO permit
sale of beer to employees and
thousands of students in uni
versities will not use it. This
will mean that the revenue
must be taken from the pock-
cts of the rest. Some people
who want il will not have mon
ey enough for beer and the ne
cessities of home life. And the
Equalization of beer does not
mean that the nature of alco-
hol has been changed. 1t is
still a habit-forming, narcotic
drug, which taken in small
quantities, has the power to
create the appetite for more.

DEPRECIATION in THE
DOLLAR

The depreciation in the dol
lar in the long run should have
the following results, according
to a statement made by Frazier
Jelke & Co.:
1t should make debts con-
tracted on the basis of a higher
price level sustainable without
principal reimbursement, par
ticularly in the farming Sec
tions. The farm price of wheat
has advanced from about 25
cents to around so cents a
bushel.
Since boarded and unem-
ployed dollars obviously are
worth less every day in pur-
chasing power, idle money will
go back to work.
AS the full significance of the
events of the last few days is
realized, there should be a de-
cided Improvement in trade
and an increased optimism
among business men; this was
the result in England when the
gold standard was abandoned
in 1881.
Imitation always creates talk
of more imitation; therefore
business men, investors and
traders who have been fearing
lower prices for the past three
years now will begin to antici-
pate higher prices.
"The question is no longer
whether we are going to have
imitation or not" the COM
pany's report continues, "but
just how much imitation are we
going to have.

REVISING MOTHERS DAY

In the bunch of literature
sent out from Park Avenue, in
New York city, to boost Moth
er's Day, the very first state
ment is this: "The observance
of Mothers Day has become
largely commercialized Tor the
increase of business"
Yes, that is true-and what
a sad admission! Here is a
day-the second Sunday in
May each year-set aside by a
resolution of Congress ''for the
expression of our love and rev.
erence for the mothers of our
country" and we find that it
has been dragged in the mud of
commercialism, for the sake of
making profits for a few favor
ed lines of business! Indeed,
it is sad.
The circulars this year do
admit that conditions have
changed. They say: 20 f
course, send flowers, candy,
kilograms to your mother, if
she is living. But, remember
-myriads of widowed mothers
and orphaned children are to-
day praying, not for flowers
but for flour; not for candy
but for bread"
We do not mean to say a
word to discourage the obser-
vance of Mothers Day by such
little attentions as sending
flowers, candy, kilograms and
letters-but we would plead
rather for the kind of thought
fulness which prompts child
rem to think of the mother eve
ry day of the year-and not
just once a year.-Pathfinder.

TAX ON CHAIN STORES

Governor Richie has signed
the bill passed by the General
Assembly, imposing a tax on
chain stores in Maryland. The
tax ranges from SIS each for
two and not more than five
stores, up to $3.50 for each
store in excess of twenty.
The Governor stated that sit
/, is the duty of the state to I'M
dertake to restore to it's indie
pendent merchants and bust
ness men their equality of op-
portunity and to preserve for
them their equal right to work
and earn a living at pursuits
which have been established
since the beginning of thel re-
public"
s'The bill undertakes to do
this by subjecting the chain
stores whose operations are
imperiling these opportunities
and rights of the merchants of
Maryland-to the burden of
graduated license fees of the
kind prescribed"

BURNED BY BATTERY ACID

Pinned in the cab of his
truck, when it overturned on a
hill on the Churchville-Dublin
road, Granville C. Boyle, of
Carsins Run, Hartford county,
was badly burned and blinded
when the acid from the battery
of the machine ran over @his
face and into his eyes. He was
released from his perilous po-
sition by Gardner Umnbarger,
who had witnessed the accident
from nearby field. Mr.. Boyle
was taken to the Baltimore
Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital.
1t is thought the sight of both
eyes will be saved. His face
will have a few scars from the
burns.

FARM PRODUCTS PRICES
VARY WIDELY IN
STATES

A wide range of prices of
farm products in various parts
of the country is reported by
the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics. New England farm
ers are getting better prices for
most of their products than are
farmers in other parts of the
country, and farmers in the
South are getting the lowest
average prices.
On the average for all the
States, farmers were getting
only 10 cents a dozen for eggs,
on March Is; they were get
ting 9 cents a pound for live
chickens, 80 cents a bushel for
potatoes, 81 cents a pound for
hogs, and Is cents a pound for
butter. A ton of hay was
bringing $685. on the average.
Eggs in New England were
bringing an average of 1872
cents a dozen on March Is as
contrasted with 60 cents a doz-
en-, or approximately two eggs
for a penny, in the West South
Central States. Butter was
bringing an average of %
cents a pound in New England
against 1873 cents in the East
South Central States, and but
terfat % cents a pound in New
England against 1875 cents in
the West South Central States.
The average farm price of
hogs in New England was $4.1S
a hundred pounds on March Is
as contrasted with an average
low of $2.87 in the West South
Central States. A milk COW
could be bought for. an average
of $51.59 in New England on
March Is, but in the East South
Central States a milk COW
could be had for an average OF
$2l. 40.
A year ago, the average of all
prices of agricultural products
was approximately 20 per cent
higher than it is today, as
shown by the Bureaus index of
81 in March 1882, as contrasted
with so in March 1888. The
1909 1914 five-year average
equals 100. The decline in the
past year has been greater than
the reduction in prices paid by
farmers for non-agricultural
commodities, with the result
that whereas on March a year
ago the ratio of prices received
to prices paid was 81 as an in
dex figure, it is now only 40.

May the First is Child Health
Day, so proclaimed by act of
Congress. Parents, teachers,
schools all will be studying
what has been done and trying
to see what further can be ac-
complished. May the First,
too is Economically associated
with the old rhymes of May
Day dances and with old Gus
toms of tying May Baskets on
door knobs, the giver to be
unseen.
There was another old GUS
tom in the English villages
which was particularly picture
sque. At sunrise men, women
and children particularly the
children = assembled on the
village green and with drum
and bugle leading the way went
around the boundaries of the
village. Beating the Bounds
the annual parade was named.
Now on this May First, 1888,
the most insistent call of the
day is that people should not
so much remember boundary
lines as the necessity for coop
GRAFTON between communities.
Visitors from many lands have
come to Washington to discuss
how this may be done and the
world be thereby benefited and
this does not mean a lessening
OF home loves, but a recogni-
ton OF them and a desire to
work together for good of all
villages and counties together;
counties and states; and states,
nations, the world. Common
need and common good!

BOGUS MONEY SEIZED
THREE MEN ARRESTED

What is believed to have
been a scheme to pass a large
number of counterfeit S. bills
at the Havre de Grace race
track was frustrated on We'd
nesday with the arrest of three
men and the seizure of sixty
five bills.
l.. B. Wilson, of Raleigh, N
c., and L. H. Holsclaw, Wash
ington taxicab driver, were ar
rested early Wednesday by
State Patrolmen Menash KATE
and c. r. Parker, while the
third man, Jesse c. Foster, was
arrested by police of the North
ern District, Baltimore.
The men were questioned by
Bartholomew Bratton, Secret
Service operative, who said the
three apparently had passed a
number of the bogus bills and
were on their way to the race
track when arrested.
Wilson and Holsclaw were
stopped by the state officers
shortly after they are alleged to
have passed a counterfeit bill
on Charles Sappington, night
operator of a service station
near Elkridge.
Sappington notified the Saw
age sub-station of the State
police, and Katz and Parker
shortly thereafter stopped the
taxicab which was driven by
Holsclaw and found a number
OF counterfeit bills in Wilson's
clothing, they said. The bills
were turned over to Bratton.
The three men were arraign-
ed before j. Frank Supplee,
United States Commissioner,
Thursday.
Following is a list of coun-
terfeit notes said to be in cir
culation:

COOKING TO CONSERVE
FOOD VALUES
I. Vegetables.

Green, yellow, and orange
color in vegetables usually in
dictate the presence of certain
vitamins, and when vegetables
are cut up and cooked in water
some of the minerals dissolve.
Chemical changes due to cook
ing also affect flavor, color and
texture. The science of cook
ing vegetables, says the Bureau
of Home Economics, seeks to
conserve all possible food val
ues and at the same time give
appetite appeal"
Slow baking in a moderate
oven comes first as a means of
conserving food value in cook
ing vegetables. Squash, pota-
toes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and
onions, for example, contain
enough water to form steam
and keep them moist, and the
skin holds in the steam. In
casserole cooking the earthen-
ware baker, or heacy glass
container, with a close-fitting
lid, takes the place of the vege-
table skin by holding in the
steam and juices.
We can steam, boil, or pan
vegetables that cannot be bak-
ed. Steaming conserves food
value, but spoils the attractive
green color Of some vegetables.
1t is satisfactory for carrots,
squash, sweet potatoes. par
ships, and wax beans.
Boiling requires less fuel
than baking, but greater pre-
cautions are necessary to pre-
vent, loss of food value. Use a
small quantity of water. Have
it boiling when you put the
vegetable in. Cook just long
enough to make the vegetable
tender.
Green vegetables lose their
greenness very easily, so for
spinach, brussels prouts
green cabbage, green snap
beans, peas, turnip tops, and
kale, leave the lid off the kettle.
This allows volatile acids to es-
cape and preserves the green
color. Do not use soda to in
tensify greenness. 1t destroys
some of the vitamins.
Planning is an excellent and
economical method for cooking
vegetables. Cut the vegetable
into small pieces and cook with
a little fat in a flat covered pan.
The water that cooks out evap-
crates, so there is no extra
liquid, and the cooking time is
so short that the loss of vita
minis is probably slight.

MARYLAND FARM INCOME

Cash income from all Mary
land crop and livestock pro-
ducts in 1882 is estimated at
$39, $780, 900, according to a re-
port of Richard G. Ross, agri-
cultural statistician for the
Maryland Crop Reporting Ser
vice. This compares with cash
incomes estimated at $780,
600 in 1881, $63,454,000 in 1880
andl $S6,O25, 900 in 1929.
The decreased income values
since 1929 were caused largely
by declines in prices paid to
farmers for their commodities,
though production of many
crops has been erratic in each
of the past three years. 1t will
be recalled that in 1880 prac-
tically all the crops except
winter grains suffered from
severe drought. In 1881 some
spring sown crops suffered
from summer drought Last
year the wheat crop was one OF
the poorest on record and in
addition several other crops
were injured by dry weather.
Milk accounted for over a
third of the total cash income
last year, it's value being esti-
mated at $14,O45,000. Chick
ems and eggs ranked second as
income producers, their COM
bined value being $6,421,0 900.
The value of truck crops was
$5,225, 900, that of tobacco, 49,
$4,000, that of cattle and cal
yes, $1,74S,000 and that of
wheat, $1,549,000.
Income from livestock pro-
ducts held up better than that
from crops, when 1882 values
are compared with 1929. To-
tai cash income in 1882 was
about 46 per cent as great as in
1929, while income from live
stock was nearly IS per cent of
that in 1929, and the income
from crops was only SO per
cent as great Milk values are
still maintained at fairly high
levels, the 1882 income being
about two-thirds as great as in
1929. The value of chickens
sold was SO per cent as great
and that of eggs was So per
cent.
Income from last years to-
bacco crop will probably be
about So per cent as great as in
1929. Similar comparisons for
other crops are: corn, 80 per
cent; wheat, Is per cent; hay,
rs per cent; potatoes, 35 per
cent; sweet potatoes, 20 per
cent; apples, % per cent;
peaches, "a per cent; truck
crops, Al per cent, and straw
berries, 46 per cent.

Only three of the twenty
three counties of the State re-
ported outbreaks of hog chol-
era during the month of March.
These were Carroll, Montgom-
cry and st. Mary's counties.
All of the outbreaks were
new or primary ones, there
being no report of the spread of
any case.
