SONG OF THE BROOK
Good Evening.

I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make sudden sally And sparkle out among the fern, To picker down a valley. By thirty hills hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorps, little town, And half hundred bridges Till last by Philips farm flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But go on forever.

COST OF LIVING

1t is common knowledge that one of
the features of the New Deal has re-
suited in the increase of commodity
prices, or, if you please, the cost of
living. Statistics show that this con-
dition came under controlled infa-
ton as commodity prices were pushed
up and the index shows that they are
almost at a peak and about eight per
cent above 1888.
The reason? The answer is the old
fundamental law of supply and de-
mand. The government gave little
though of Mother Nature when it re-
quired many acres of cotton, corn and
wheat to be plowed under; then came
the drought in the middle west States
which turned from a local mishap to a
great disaster. So, farm commodity
prices advanced at a steady climb,
the cost of living is somewhat in
creased, not by controlled initiation,
but by the law of Nature, which no
one will ever be able to control.

DROUGHT CAUSES

The great drought and famine came
upon the Middle West, according to
opinions collected from many people
by the Rev. L. NJ Birkhead, of Kansas
City
Because pigs were killed and cotton
and wheat plowed under;
Because of divine resentment at
liquor, night clubs and nudity;
Because automobiles poured out so
much carbon monoxide gas;
Because droughts come in cycles,
and it was time for one;
Because the country tolerates Com
munists;
Because farmers tried to cheat the
government in crop reduction;
Because there were spots on the
sun;
Because radio waves dried out the
air;
Because modernists and humanists
have spred heretical religious opin-
ions;
Because man has been improvident
in over-cultivating the soil, cutting
down forests and wasting water.
Take your choice. Whatever part
divine wisdom may have played in this
tragedy, human foolishness shouldn't
be overlooked, especially as repre-
scented in that last paragraph.

THEY DON'T MIX

Whether you are wet" or dry,
this fact will interest you: Repeal of
prohibition has resulted in a tremen-
dous increase in drunken driving, &C
cording to reports Of police bureaus,
safety departments and similar or
CARNATIONS. No one knows whether
this is due to people driking more now
than during the prohibition era-but
it is fact that more people are talk
ing drinks and then getting behind the
wheels of their cars.
A driver does not even have to be
noticeably drunk to be dangerous. In
vestigations show that very moderate
doses of alcohol produce the following
effects on the average driver: Slower
reactions, less uniformity in response,
a narrowing of the field of attention,
a rise in self assurance which breeds
recklessness, and general decline in
mechanical efficiency. The change oc-
curing may be relatively slight-but
when the driver is in sole charge of a
hurting mass of metal, it becomes
important indeed. A man who shows
few signs of his drinking, and is a
pleasant and rational companion, may
become g menace to the public in his
car.
Today, with liquor on sale in many
states, legislation to curb drunken
driving should be made even sitter
than in the past-and should be en-
forced to the letter. Alcohol and gaso-
line don't mix.

Emphasizing this today, Mr.. H. C.

that await those who invest even mod
estly in reconditioning of homes and
other buildings that have suffered
during the era of economic stress.
"The opportunities now offered to

concerned than ever have been offered

asserted, at is possible to borrow be-

of work at carrying charges much be-
low those normally charged.
"For years it has been possible to
purchase the things that go into the
house-furniture, radios, refrigera-
tors, etc, on the installment plan-but
this is the first time that liberal in
stallment credit has been extended to
cover all types of real property i'm

can important point, too," Mr..
Riggs said, "is that every repair pro-
.ect undertaken now results in saw
ing to the property owner in two
ways: First, reconditioning that seems
of minor Importance at the present
time will prevent costlier repair bills
later on; and second, the cost of build

sweet clover is about one-half normal;
production of alsike clover, red clover
and timothy is only one-half normal
and is the smallest on record for each
of these three kinds of seeds. Many
other kinds of farm seeds will not be
available in normal quantities during
the coming year.
Farmers are advised by Mr.. Holmes
that it is not too early to make plans
for meeting their seed requirements
next spring. He warns that those who
delay are likely to find that suitable
seeds are not to be had at any price.
1t is always advisable, he says, to
make provision for seed requirements
before the best seed stocks are ex-
hausted and while there is still time
to have seeds tested before they are
planted. He emphasizes the special
importance of such precautions under
conditions existing at the present
time.

stands ready to give farmers of the
state the information needed to use

THE ASSOCIATE JUDGESHIP

With the retirement from the bench
of Associate Judge Albert A. Doub, of
Allegany county, following his service
of many years as a jurist Of ability,
vacancy will necessarily exist, which
will be filled by appointment by Gov
ernor-elect Harry W. Nice at the time
Judge Doub retires as a result of
reaching the age limit as provided by
the State Constitution. The appoint
ment to be made by the Governor will
be until the general election to be held
in the fall of 1888, or about three and
one-half years.
Washington county, by reason of the
fact that that county now has resi-
dent Associate Judge in the person
of Judge Wagaman, is prohibited from
having second Associate Justice,
hence the choice will come from either
Garrett or Allegany county.
For more years than can be remem-
bered Allegany or Washington county
has had one or two judges residing
within their bounds. Garrett county,
in its history of more than 60 years,
has been entirely ignored insofar as
the appointment by the Governor or
by election of the people of judge
is concerned
Today the opportunity presents it
self to the people of the county to
at least endeavor to have the county
recognized in this matter. Garrett
has some legal minds within its con-
fines that compare favorably with
those of Allegany county and deter
mined effort on the part of Garrett
countians should be made to impress
this fact upon the mind of Governor
Nice when the time comes to fill the
vacancy created by the retirement of
Judge Doub.

Supply of Some Farm Seeds Is Much
Lower Than Normal

Supply of Some Farm Seeds Is Much
Lower Than Normal
More than usual difficulty in obtain
ing supply of certain farm seeds of
satisfactory quality for planting their
crops next season is likely to be ex-
perienced by Maryland farmers, ac-
cording to Forrest S. Holmes, who is
in charge of the seed laboratory of the
Maryland Experiment Station. He
states that the 1884 production of
many kinds of farm seeds is the small
lest for many years, and that the
situation is further aggravated by an
unusually small carry-over of seeds
from previous years.
Among the kinds of seeds of partic-
ular interest to farmers in this State
Mr.. Holmes mentions alfalfa, alsike
clover, red clover, sweet clover and
timothy. Production of alfalfa seed,
he states, is four-fifths of normal;
