"SEND A DIME

The "send-adme" chain letter continues to sweep the
country like wildfre and though threats have followed
protests the posoce department has far been unable
to check it. While many people have already been caught
in the chain there others who still in ignorance
of its operation explanation is not out of place
An individual receives list of six names in letter
asking him TO send loo to the top the list He
is then to that and add his at the
bottom of the list and send copies of the letter and the
list to six others One dime is all anyone sends
But by the time his will have reached the top of
the list it will be in the hands of 1928 persons there
is break in the chain. If each of those sends him
dime he will receive $1,000 from this link in the
chain before his goes off of the list.
Uncle Sam has discovered that while the dime let
ters have boosted the sale of stamps several smooth nd
viduas have found ways 30 make racket" out Of it.
That TO be expected It's hard to start anything in
this country without Selling upon it and twisting
il into crooked scheme TO feather their nest The
dime letter. is interesting game and millions in search
of fun taking part in it. The trouble is that there
are many crooks in America ready to make getrch
quick scheme out of such things So the "dme letter.
will, in all probability, soon fall into evil ways.

Ford Dealers Sponsor
Entries In 500 Mile
Memorial Day Race

The first of ten fast racing cars,
powered by Ford vs. engines, built
under the direction of Harry Miller,
veteran racing car builder, has been
shipped to Indianapolis for tests pre-
limlnary to entry in the 50O-mile race
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Decoration Day. The entries are spon-
sored by a group of Ford dealers.
The ten racing cars were developed
by Miller around the Ford V-8 engine
and will reveal when ready for the
track a number of outstanding engi-
.neering developments.
In conformance with Miller engi-
neering, the cars are of the front-drive
type and are expected to be fully
equal to the rigorous qualification con-
ditions at Indianapolis, where, it is
expected, average speeds of 116 miles
an hour or better will be necessary
for qualification.
Appearing from above like a civ
ing red squirrel" the cars are fully
streamlined, even the axles and the
spring action being "booted." The
bodies are finished smoothly, not a
bolt or nut obstructing free air flow.
The chassis is of the straight
frame type. Springs are transverse,
in accord with Ford practice. The
front drive unit, of Miller design, is
mounted ahead of the engine and is
fully streamlined. The car is unusual
ly low, the driver and mechanic sit
ting in staggered seats well within the
body. A spherical gas tank of Is gal
Ions capacity is mounted back of the
seats in the cigar-shaped rear body.

CATTLE FROM ALL DIRECTIONS

The far-reachlng effect OF high cattle prices

were sent in from Kentucky and shipments received
from Ohio and Michigan. Idaho contributed few loads

markets. although the volume has been reduced somewhat
because OF growing scarcity of fed cattle there The
first OF string of 1000 head of Texas fed steers arrived
In addition to about the number of Texas stockers

markets received California cattle last week. Several car
loads expected here before the end of this week.
large Nebraska feeding is reported to put
1000 head of California steers for finishing Another
port is that thousands of steers have been contracted
for shipment from the Redwood forests of northern Cali
1ora to the eastern seaboad for slaughter the price being
reported as $500 f. o. b. the loading point.
California can be expected to contribute good deal
of beef to the national arder this year. That

These cattle will help fill the need for beef at time when

can be used. Extensive arrange
ments can be made for installment
purchases of appliances. And the
more irons, refrigerators, heaters,
fans, barn equipment, and other
appliances that are in use, the great
er the quantity of electric energy
required. Thus large load is built
up which gives better service at
lower cost. Also this activity in
creases industrial activity and en-
ployment; it helps to lift the nation
out of the depression.
"The program starts with the
assurance of the whole-hearted CO
operation not only of the National
Grange, the American Farm Bureau
Federation and other farm groups
but with that of the operating utility
industry, the manufacturers of bath
room, barn, and other electrical
equipment, the Master Plumbers As
ISOLATION and many other agencies.
Private service companies are
given by the public very special priv
ileges which in turn impose great
responsibilities them to cover
their field adequately. Nobody ex-
poets them to do business at a loss,
In fact, through regulation of rates,
the public guarantees return on
their private capital. But in every
enterprise there is bound to be skim
milk as well as cream. And in Civ
ing to these companies exclusive
right to operate in given territory
it is reasonable for them to give
service in some areas where returns
are less than in others. We canno,
allow these agencies of the public
to serve closely built up territory
only and ignore the farms"

liberalization is not a luxury
but necessity to the fifty million
men, women and children directly
concerned with the present and
future of agriculture; it can lift
great burden off the shoulders of the
Woodworking farmer and relieve the
drudgery of the housewife"
Quoting the above from President
Roosevelt, Martin L. Cooke, head of
the Rural Electrifcation Administra-
ton, in radio address said the
President had granted the following
wide powers to the new agency under
the recent appropriation of $780,
100000 by Congress:
Initiate, formulate, administer and
supervise a program of approved
projects with respect to the gen.
Grafton, transmission and distribution
of electric energy in rural areas"
OF the 100000 farms in the
country, less than 100000 are now
receiving central station electric
service. Eighty-six per cent of all
farm homes are without electric serv-
ice Of any kind and 90 per cent have
no thigh line" service.
"Yet it is sheer nonsense to say
that the farmer cannot afford cleo
trio service" Mr.. Cooke continued.
Sand, as the President has said, con-
ditions could not be more favorable
for extension of electrifcation than
now. Commodities essential in this
work are at low price level. There
is opportunity for mass or area con-
struction, as against the expensive
piecemeal construction which pre-
vailed heretofore. Money can be OBJ
tanned at low cost. Further, a sim
pie yet durable type for rural lines

MEMORIAL DAY

The fact that the ranks of Civil War veterans
have thnned to the point where it is longer possible
for them to stage parade on Memorial Day does not
that this long cherished holiday is be abandoned
America debt of gratitude to those who have passed
and Memorial Day will always offer her an opportunity
to make payment
While originally intended day upon which to pay
tribute to those who engaged in the between the states
it has to be recognized day upon which to honor
all those who have had part in any in which this
nation participated The silent march to the cemetery the
roll of the drums the placing of flowers the little green
mounds which soldier dead-no matter in what
they fought-shoud be faithfully observed today
as it has been back through the years when of them
than now were here to take part in such observance
Surely the date of May 80 be overlooked by
citizens Surely they cannot be forgetul of its origin its
purpose Though may forever be at peace-and what
blessing that would be-we cannot erase from memory
the record of the past Our struggles to maintain place
free and ibertyoving people forms the brilliant
chapters in history &c. though there par
ade to the cemetery roll of the drums there be
flowers for the graves of those in whose memory the

ments, expressed satisfaction over the
outcome of the AAA vote which ex-
pressed itself 8 to 1 in favor of the

Rural Electricity
For Maryland Is
Now Big Project
Primary Object OF Program Is
To Reach Homes AS Cheaplv
AS Possible

Plans for getting the 100000 900
rural electrifcation project into aetna,
operation were outlined in WASHINGTON
last week at a conference between
Morris L. Cook, of the Rural Electri-
fication Administration, and special
committee of American Farm Buresu
leaders headed by its national prest
dent Edw. A. O'Neal, who was recent
ly appointed member of the Works
Allotment Division by President
Roosevelt. H. H. Nuttle and C. E.
Wise, Jr., of the State Farm Bureau.
were the Maryland representatives.
The primary object sought under
the various plans, it was emphasized,
was to bring electricity to as many
farm homes as possible with the funds
allotted-and at the lowest possible
rates. Standard specifications covering
rural line construction are being pre-
pared with this end in view, accord
ing to Mr.. Wise.
Although in the extension of lines
into the rural sections, the private
power companies will be given the
first chance, the plans also include
provisions for granting loans for sim
liar purposes to existing municipal
power companies, and for setting up
of cooperatives. In the latter case, the
cooperative would build the line and
buy the electricity at wholesale rates,
and pay off the government loan
through the retail differential.
$15O,0O0,OOO was the original sum
requested by Mr.. O'Neal for rural
identification in his recommendation
for P. w. A. ALLEGATIONS two months
ago. Both Mr.. Cook and Mr.. O'Neal
see in this program an opportunity
for large increase in the demand for
electricity and electric appliances,
thereby improving the business of
utility companies and increasing man.

New Life Saving Devices
To Be Shown At The
Boy Scouts JambOree

Imagine initiating the back, or the
shoulders, of your shirt by blowing
into the sleeves, and thereby securing
sufficient buoyancy to support in the
water no less than three persons. But
this is only one of the new wrinkles
developed by the National Health and
Safety Service which will be shown
to such gathering as the 10000 Boy
Scouts encamped at their Washington
Jamboree, this coming August. An
other method by swimming rescuers,
of using things nearest at hand in
cases of emergency, will be that of
initiating pair of cotton trousers, and
so turning them into a life preserver
that likewise will keep three, and per-
haps four, people afloat in the water.
The demonstrations in canoeing will
be, perhaps, the most thrilling OF all.
Most people think that only Esquimaux
have the knack to turn their kayaks
entirely over in the water and bring
themselves bobbing safely up on the
other side, but, at this Jamboree the
Boy Scouts will witness exhibitions
calling for even greater skill, such as
showing how one person, from a canoe
two miles off shore, can recover the
supposed body of man from the hot
tom, and without the loss of the canoe
DR.. James E. West, Chief Scout
Executive of the Boy Scouts, says
that there will be hundred SUCH in
tensely interesting demonstrations in
the lore and practices of Scouting to
enrich the knowledge of the 10000
Scouts who will be in attendance at
the Jamboree.
Each Region and each Council is
planning to show something unique.
In one of these exhibits it is planned
to show the visitor every outdoor fire
that man has built. The Scout who
sees one-tenth of the Jamboree Camp
VIII take back thousand ideas with
him to the Troop back home. He will
see the performance of many special
ists. Texas and Oklahoma have among
their delegates some Of the best ropers
IN the country. Maine Scouts are
bringing a leader who is the cham
pion woodchopper of the world.
Each Region will have its band,
twelve full bands. San Francisco's
well-known band will probably he in
the van. 1t has one hundred and
twenty-five boys, each one of them an
Eagle Scout. There will be scores of
ME and drum corps. 1t will be a jolly
camp with music from the first day
to the last.
