CHAPTER 16.
THE vICAR'S POND

The Reverend Hayden Frere sat beside his pond and stirred in it with a muddy stick.
 From the banks of the pond which was at the bottom of the garden, he could look out over Kings Mallard and mediate upor the fifteen thousand destinies which, bounded by the golden bay and the purple hills, wove their ways in and out of that strange pattern that is daily life.
 Round him, as he sat and dab bed historically, the garden lay neglected and wild. For will not be known as saintly old man who loves roses and children" he would say to his intimates, Any other kind of saintly old man, if you must, but not the kind that dodders round with basket and a pruning knife, and I don't like children-or only a very few, very clean ones. I like the creatures in my pond"
 A step behind him made him turn-and his stick nearly slid in to the water.
 "You know you're being child ish, vicar, and you're ashamed of yourself" declared Leila Cane, ad- vancing upon him.
 T say Leila-watch that crea- ture behind the big green stone I'll send him over to the bank.v' The stick plunged and tapped. There nowl There he goes. What dyou think of him?"
 T think he's very well suited to his disgusting little pool"
 No, no, he's not so bad. Watch him peer at me round that old tin. Now, does he remind you Of anyone?"
 'Yes. Of father"
 The vicar began to laugh again, and laughed until he had to wipe tears from his eyes,. You are a mischievous old thing" smiled Leila, lig hting a cigarette from a leather case. But he certainly is terribly like fla ther" Amusement left her voice. Like father, lodging and hiding and smirking at the bottom of his disgusting little pool" She jerk ed her neat head towards the town at her feet.
 "Oh, no, my dear Leila! One pool, you know, is very like an other. Kings Mallard, Toxeter, London, New York, all much the same except for size"
 T wish I had a pond"
 Aren't you going to marry Far rell?" asked the vicar.
 "No, by the way, he's coming up presently to see you before he goes back to Town" she added, and I want a lift. You don't mind my waylaying him here?"
 
 Not at all. I was afraid you had come to tea" The old eyes twinkled relievedly. The vicar did not like tea, but almost every day some charitable matron or other made it her business to call and preside over the tray and the singing kettle.
 T never thought you would catch Farrell, when it came to the point" he added with that devastating frankness that glinted under his amiability like chain-mail under a silken shirt.
 Leila blushed a little but smiled. This mischievous incalculable. wise old man was the only human be- ing for whom she felt any depth of affection, possibly because she was slightly afraid of him. | But you'd-you'd have given us your blessing if"

 { A disagreement was returned by 1 the jury in the big transportation case which had been occupying the District Court since January IA District Attorney Rustgard said the instructions to the jury being fav- orable to the defense caused the disagreement while attorneys foI the defense among whom were Louis P. Shackleford and John G Held, said that the instructions were favorable to the prosecution and that brought about the dis agreement. However, the fact that at one time during the trial the jury called for a reading of the indictment because they had lost track of whom or what was on trial indicated that there was doubt and the disagreement came as no surprise to most people who had listened to it. The title of the case was the United states vs North Pacific Wharves and Trad ing Company, Pacific and Arctic Railway and Navigation Company The Pacific Coast Company, Pa cific Coast Steamship Company c. E. Winn-Johnson, E. E. Billing hurst, w. H. Nansen, Ira Brown, J. c. Ford, J. w. Smith, c. E. Houston, A. L. Berdoe, and F. J. Cushing.

Protect Our Boys and Girls

To the Editor of The Republican.
In the modern machine age, light
wines and beer are more dangerous
than whiskey and gin. Robbins
Stocked, Commissioner of Motor We
hicles in Connecticut, says: "a really
drunken driver usually is not danger
Gus, because he is easily and quickly
detected. The really dangerous driver
is the man who has had one or two
drinks only, who still thinks he is in
possession of his faculties, but whose
driving judgment has been impaired.
On our highways, moderate drinking
is more dangerous than immoderate. "
Most automobile accidents are
caused by temperate" drinkers, men
who are apparently sober but who
have just a little alcohol in their
system which makes them reckless
and retards their reaction time. A
slight amount of alcohol speeds up the
car and slows down the driver. A
drunken driver is usually spotted"
before he does any damage; it is the
sober" drinker who is a menace to
himself and to society.
PROTECT OUR BOYS AND
GIRLS! On September 18th, go to
the polls and vote AGAINST BEER
as well as AGAINST RATIFICA-
TION. Remembers that a vote for
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
will be in effect a vote to repeal our
local option laws, enacted many
years ago, which made Garrett county
a safer place and more wholesome
place for children and young people.
If Garrett county goes wet" on Sep
TENDER 18th the saloon will be on its
way back to this county. Alcohol is
habit-forming narcotice drug. 1t
attacks the higher nerve centers, blur
ring vision, befuddling intellect, re-
tarding reaction time, interfering with
quick and precise movements.
A mild amount of alcohol makes no
apparent difference in persons be-
havior; but the drinkers reaction time
is slowed down by a fifth of a second
or more. In other words, it takes a
fifth of second longer to apply the
brakes of his car. A fifth of second
seems like very small and unimport-

Whether driving a car or lodging

a baby carriage, whether operating
a tractor or a washing machine,
promptness and precision of move
ments is impaired by the use of alco-
hol in even the smallest amounts. Our
modern mechanical civilization can
not coexist with the traffic in narcotic
beverages.

defense of our children and young
people whose welfare is menaced by
the liquor traffic Vote against ratif-
cation and vote against beer! Vote
against the return of the saloon.

CountyAgent's Column
Emergency Plan is Announced to Re-
duce the Supply of Hogs
J. H. CARTER
Resident County Agent.
Office: Court House, Oakland, Md.


duce the Supply of Hogs
Recognizing that the farm price of
hogs is still only about half the fair
exchange value called for in the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture has announced an
emergency plan for adjusting hog
production.
According to this plan, farmers may
sell at the regular markets their
spring pigs weighing under 100
pounds and their piggy sows due to
farrow within three weeks and weigh
ing over 275 pounds at premium
prices. Farmers will receive a bonus
of $500 a head in addition to the mar
ket price of packing sows on the day
marketed, without dockage, for their
piggy sows. For pigs it is intended
to pay $3.50 per hundred pounds for
those weighing from 25 to 30 pounds,
the price graduating 25 cents per
hundred pounds for each five pounds
increase in weight, to the minimum
price of $500 per hundred for those
weighing from 95 to 100 pounds.
Edible products of these animals

ant length of time. But a modern
automobile travels 10 or Is feet every
fifth of second. Frequently a fifth
of a second means the difference be-
tween life and death.
Real 80 beer has not yet been put
on the market. The brewers are too
shrewd to risk arousing a popular re-
action pending the repeal of the 18th
Amendment, and dealers still have
quantities of NEAR beer" to dispose
Of Nevertheless, even with the mild
beer now sold, traffic accidents have
already shown an alarming increase.
And real beer is just around the corn
er. No wonder the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles in Maryland recently
made plea for extra state policemen
because, he said. the roads of Mary
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-08-31

will be disposed of primarily by relief
agencies. The meat will be purchased
at a price sufficient to defray the costs
of processing, storage and freight.
This meat will not be permitted to
come into competition with meat sold
in the regular channels.
The plan contemplates the purchase
and slaughter of about four million
pigs and one million sows. This will
effect a reduction in tonnage for the
1933-1934 marketing season of prob
ably 1,S00,000,000 pounds.of hogs live
weight, or about 16 percent of the
hog tonnage marketed normally. Such
reduction, according to past expert
ence, should increase hog prices for
the season by anywhere from 25 to 80
percent.
Funds to handle this premium-buy-
ing emergency plan will come from a
processing tax to be levied later on
hogs and hog products. The Secretary
stated that a tax of considerably less
than cent pound would accomplish
the purpose, but it is not decided yet
just what the tax will have to be.
In order that farmers themselves
may obtain the premium on their pigs,
it is suggested that it is desirable
for them to ship direct to market and
tina it is a good opportunity for them
to get together on cooperative truck
or carlot shipments.
