A NsWER-I think your suggestion

father might fall in with, II you have
got the notion into your foolish little
head that 1t makes you seem more
grown-up to have your own latchkey.
I. One Of the things that We older
people are likely to forget is the pas
sion for conforming to a pattern that
the very young have. Their ideal is
the rubber stamp. They must all dress
just alike and act just alike and have
Just the same things and say the
same things. And inasmuch as this
is harmless vagary Of adolescence, it
should be gratified whenever possible.

Farm Bureau Adds 1000
Members During 1885

Membership in the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation has increased dur
ing 1885 according to C. E. Wise, Jr.,
Secretary. He reports 1000 new mem
bers for the year in the state orga-
nization and substantial increase In
every county ynit. In commenting on
this, Mr.. Wise ointed to the increas-
ed farm income that resulted from
constructive program for agriculture.
This program has improved conditions
and insures future progress and stab
bilization for the Nations agriculture.
Farmer income has been increased
over $4,000, ,0OO,000 by balanced pro-
gram greatly assisted by the drought.
"In conclusion" Mr.. Wise said, 1--WE
feel that this situation offers farm
ers a chance to adjust their own farm
operations TO meet new economic con-
ditions and then improve marketing

Enthusiastic Support Is
Promised Red Cross Seal
Sale By County Pledges

An enthusiastic pledge of support
from the County Seal Sale Chairmen
and cooperation from many of the
County Health Officers is believed to
insure successful Sale this year that
will reach the desired goal of twenty
thousand dollars in the counties of
Maryland, according to William B.
Matthews, Managing Director of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
1t is hoped that the above goal of
the County Seal Sale will be reached
in order that the gains now made in
the fight against tuberculosis may be
consolidated and new efforts launch
ed. "'It is the desire of the officials
of the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
tion to maintain all of the clinics now
established and to install new ones
where it is felt that they are most
needed. Moreover, it is desirable to in.
crease the facilities of the Miracle
House at Claiborne to accommodate
more children. Although the death
rate in Maryland was reduced last
year it is necessary to increase our
weapons to maintain our gains and to
guard against a possible acceleration
of tuberculosis cases due to the six
years of depression" said William B.
Matthews, Managing Director.
The death rate in Maryland is now
1877 per 100000 population, gain of
I2.7 over the previous year. 1t is still
high, however, when compared to the
rates of other states. To maintain the
gains Of the past years and to con-
tinue the annual reduction in death
rates it is necessary to continue the
fight with greater energy and plan
ming. Doctor Rober H. Riley, Director
Of the State Department Of Health,
said the following concerning the
tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale;
Thirty years ago on death in every
eight in Maryland was due to tuberc-
ulosis. Last year one death out of
every sixteen was charged to that

Kounty Kuryosities
By HILLBILLY HILL

AS ultimate consumers we are not
ed for our bloomers
But resent it when accused of
imbecility;
Yet commodities are traded and
our pocketbooks are raided
On the basis of our eager guilt
bility.
Some things we buy on price, such
as canned goods, lard & rice,
We seldom notice that we are
short weighted
While the chain store owner grins
and strokes his triple chins
We think we have been smart,
and are elated.
We are sold by words persuasive,
toothpaste poisoned and aba
sive.
Our antiseptics do not antisept.
We buy sudfur, lead, and arsenic
in our apples, prunes and
parsnips
By embalming our meats are
freshly kept.
AS ultimate consumers we are
swayed by tickle rumors
But the chemist, for some reason
we ignore.
We accept the sleek advisements of
misleading advertisements
And probably we will forever
more.

Steady Increase Shown
In Total Receipts For
Maryland Farm Products

A steady increase in total receipts
from the sale of the principal farm
products in Maryland was shown in
figures compiled by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Covering the January-August pc
riod of the years 1932-1935, the fig
ures showed the receipts of Maryland
farmers for the eight months in
creased from >$28, 1000 in 1882 to
$39, 1882, 900 in 1885. Receipts for 1882
were $28, $4,000. Those for 1884 were
$35, 100000.
Aid extended by the Federal Gov
ernment in the form of rental and
benefit payments also increased and
combined to send the total receipts
from sale of farm products to still
higher levels.
From January through August of
1888, when the payments were begun
under the New Deal, Maryland farm
ers received $4,000 in rentals and
they increased to $159, 900, and in the
corresponding months of 1885 reached
a peak of $503,O00.
These payments sent the total re-
ceipts of Maryland farmers for the
January-August period of SIS, 8,599, 900
in 1888; to $36,155,OOO in 1884 and
to $685. 900 in 1895.
Still to be added to the 1885 figure
are the total receipts for September
totaling $4,832, 900, exclusive of bene-
fit payments. The September figure
would bring to $44,717,0OO the total
received by Maryland farmers for
their products through September.

IRON MEN
(AN rights reserved by EdaUaa,d
S. WorfeLdD

Think of the dollars you put into
life insurance as Iron Men. Iron
Men, you are sending into an i'm
pregnable fortress and in this for
tress they multiply-they are well
cared for-they are disciplined.
These Iron Men are at your beck
and call. You can call them out to
fight for you when you are sick
you can call them out and send
them to bring food and clothing for
you and for yours when you are in
want.
If you live-when you are old
and can no longer fight or fend for
yourself these men come out in
orderly detachments to fight for you
to comfort you-to cherish you
and they are organized-the re-
serve never fails while you breathe.
And when you die-you leave
this disciplined, organized army of
Iron Men behind you with orders
which no one can rescind-"Come
out" you have commanded-"C Come
out of the fortress in detachments
each month and fight for my wife
forage food for my children
keep a roof tight and strong over
the head of my mother as long as
she lives"
Every man is a general whether
he wills it so or not. If he be wise
he recruits his army of Iron Men
while in full vigor and strength
ne writes on parchment his strate-
gy for the battle which always
comes.
Yes-an army Of Iron Men i'm
pregnable in the fortress of a
strong life insurance company is
the only answer for the average
man. Recruit your Iron Men while
you may-fulfll you obligations
thank God for the privilege and for
the strength to fulfill them.

Religion In A
Nutshell
By REV. HENRY K. PASMA,
Ph. D.
CONTRARY WINDS
courtesy of Washington Post.

In the future the logs of sailing
vessels of bygone, glorious era will
be studied for moral and spiritual
purposes. We will want to know how
the old shell-backs did it, how with all
the odds against them-of weather,
sea, and especially of the contrary
gales-they managed to reach in
their wind-wagons their ports of des-
tination. For ours is day in which
we have set our hearts upon the elm
ination of contrary winds, of forces
opposing US in our material, mental,
moral and spiritual world. Mechanical
ton of industry promises to eliminate
the last of backbreaking work. Tasks
which workers formerly tackled strip
ped to the waist, now are done with
supreme ease by white-collared per-
sons. Time may come when only
photographer will know the technical
meaning of calloused hands. The buck
saw, mattock and hoe, together with
the broadax and hobnailed shoes, one
will be able to find only in a musem.
AS the sweat of the brow will become
a thing of the past, so it is likely the
sweat of the brain will be made un-
necessary. Robots and machines will
do the worlds work, with man a
spectator merely, interested or bored
as the occasion may allow. Contrary
winds will nevermore spit spitefully
into ones face. They will always push
one on the back. And that will mark
the approximate time when mans
world will go to pot.
For, somehow or other, contrary
winds have their place in the scheme
of things. jesus disciples "toiled with
rowing because the wind was con-
trary." That was strange. Sent by
Jesus, they were compelled, neverthe-
less, to toll with rowing to save them
selves, to stare Death in the face each
boatlength of the bitter voyage.
Folks have asked all sorts of ques-
tions as to the why of Gods contrary
winds. Here is one answer. In a shell
tered garden cabbage grow swiftly.
But they perish equally swift. Upon
the rise of yonder hill stands mag
| nj
of growth to enable it to push its way
through the underground. 1t took the
heat of hundred summers, and the
sleet and the SHOWS and the cold Of
a hundred winters, and the fury of
autumn storms of whole century and
more, before the oak was an oak, so
its wood could be made into ribs and
planking of sailing vessels, or timbers
of cathedral to serve and last many
centuries more.
By the way some folk talk you
would think they were ready to give
God pointers as to how grow char
acter in people. They suggest He do
it after the fashion of the truck gard
ener growing his cabbages. But al
ways God grew His great men as he
plants and tends and grows to per-
fection noble oak. And He allows
many contrary winds to have their
part in the perfecting of His grand
product.

HIGHWAY SLAUGHTER

1t is difficult for the average citizen to realize that
the single of 1914 total of 3398O people killed
IN auto accidents in the United States increase of Is
percent over previous year. Yet it is true All the
wars in American history claimed only 244357 lives, while
i'm the 15year period between 1920 and 1885 automobile
deaths have numbered $685. SO percent than the
total of all Americans who have fallen in battle there
is another angle to this thing of srewing highways
with motor car wreckage. This is the damage bill. The
monetary cost of highway accidents in 1884 placed at
two billion five hundred million dollars in property damage
alone. Some will certainly have to be evolved and
no matter how drastic be- those who drive motor
must be prepared to grin and bear it.
