EVERYBODY'S GARDEN

Someone has said that the wild flow
ers of the field are 'everybody's gar
dem" Nature plants all this lovehness
by the side of the road, and tells all
harassed and anxious folks to come
and enjoy its beauty, without spending
any money for fertilizer, or strain
ing their backs with the spade.
Said the Persian poet Hafz: Learn,
o student, the true wisdom. See yon
bush afame with roses, like the burn
ing bush of Moses. Listen, and thou
shalt hear, if thy soul be not deaf, how
out from it, soft and clear, speaks to
thee the Lord Almighty"
What is the word the Lord Almighty
speaks to US here in Garrett county
through such bush. 1t is that it was
the purpose of the Maker Of the world
that life should be filled with beauty.
He gives US the materials out of
which we can create happiness. If we
miss it, it is due to our own Incidence
or wrong doing.

DOES PROPERTY HAVE
RIGHTS?

One of the charges frequently made
by the so-called liberal against those
who disagree with him is that his OPP
ponent is seeking to place property
rights above human rights. In asser-
tions of this nature he falls into the
popular error that there is distinct
division between human rights and
the so-called rights" of property.
At a matter of fact, property has
no rights. Most property is inanimate
of its very nature. For example: an
undiscovered continent might be tenn
ing with oil, and timber, minerals and
fur bearing animals, but the so-caIled
property has not rights of its own.
1t remains in its natural state until
chance brings the coming of man.
Then all things are changed. But what
man brings with him are his own
human rights to develop and to own
property.
So there are no real property rights,
only human rights. The most precious
right which man possesses is his splr-
itual right, the right to worship God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience, to enjoy the freedom of his
own soul. The next most precious priv
ilege is the right to own his own body,
to do with it as he will so long as he
violates neither Divine law nor the
human rights of others.
Then the next right which is pre-
cious to him, the right which shows
that he is a civilized being, living in
civilized community, is the right to
own and to accumulate property, to
use it for his own good, for the good Of
his own loved ones, of his neighbors
and the community. 1t is the enlight-
ened right to earn and possess the
material blessings of life, which the
misguided "reformers" often miscall
the property right" This is in fact
one of the greatest human rights and
marks the difference between civiliza-
ton and darkness, between law and
anarchy, between progress and decay.
When a man seeks for selfish pur-
poses to incite those who, due often
to their own lack of initiative or in
dustry, have acquired no property OF
their own, to force the frugal and in
dustrious man to divide with them
the fruit of his labors, they usually
talk about property rights" and the
necessity to bend these to "human
rights" What they are really seeking
TO do is not to exalt human rights
above any so-called property rights
but to force redivision Of the accu-
mulated property Of the world, and this
by no means in accordance with human
rights.

DO YOUR PART

Fire Prevention Week is to be OBJ
served from October 6 to IL. And
here is a thought worth considering
in the meantime:
Friendly fre-fre under control
is one of mans greatest boons. 1t
keeps US warm, cooks our foods, mott
Yates our industries, and serves us in,
countless other ways.
Unfriendly fre-fre out Of control
is one of mans greatest enemies.
1t destroys property-causing ire
parable economic loss. 1t menaces life.
1t hampers progress. 1t threatens
community development and indus
trials activity and employment.
A building, for example, represents
something beside money. 1t represents
energy, achievement, labor. If it is a
factory building, it represents crea-
tive, productive wealth. When fire de-
stroys that building, insurance will
give back part of the money it cost,
but nothing can give back the energy
shat was wasted. Nothing can make
up for the work lost, the jobs de-
stroyed, the diminished purchasing
power the fire caused. The indirect
costs of fre-costs which cannot be
put into a balance sheet-are the real
measure of our national fire waste.
Those indirect costs are many times
the direct costs.
Somewhere, as you read this, a
home is being burned to the ground. A
factory building is smoldering ruin.
A man is screaming in pain from a
burn that will prove fatal. All this is
the result of someone's oversight,
someone's carelessness, someone's
stupidity Everyone should be will
ing to do his part to minimize such
happenings in the future.

CountyAgent's Column
Miniature Storage Cellars Found
Practical on Farms
]. H. CARTER

Practical on Farms
One practical and economical meth
cd of keeping certain vegetables and
fruits during the winter months is
by means of barrel or wood packing
box storage cellar which may be con-
structed at home at low cost. This
type of cellar will serve very well
as a storage place for such vegeta-
bles and fruits as apples, pears, tur-
nips, cabbages, beets, carrots, pars-
nips and potatoes.
Care should be exercised in select
ing the site for the cellar as the con-
tents must be kept cool and moist and
yet not be permitted to freeze. For
this reason a we'll drained hillside with
a southern exposure is ideal but if this
cannot be found the box or barrel may
be placed on it's side on fiat ground,
provided it is well insulated against
heat and cold. Where a hillside can be
used the box or barrel is put in a
horizontal position against it.
Before the box or barrel is put into
position the inside is carefully lined
with heavy grade of paper and it is
divided into two, three, or four COM
partments so that the fruit or vegeta-
bles can be kept separated.
Next, the container is put into posi-
ton and is we'll insulated with leaves,
saw dust or straw and earth. A layer
Of leaves or straw is put on first, then
about three inches of earth, then a sec
ond layer of straw or leaves and finally
as severe weather approaches, sec
ond layer of earth.
If a barrel is used the head will be
found useful as a door to the cellar.
To provide accessibility only leaves or
straw are banked over the head of the
barrel. Earth may be added for safety
when colder weather arrives.

Unconscious Ministries
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

And at midnight, Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns unto
God; and the prisoners were list
ening to them.-Acts 1925.
What an example of indomitable
faith and joy! In the blackness of
the filthy dungeon, their feet locked
in the torturing stocks, their backs
still sting from the wicked lash, their
bodies still aching from the rough
handling of the mob-"At midnight,
Paul and Silas were praying and
singing hymns and the pris
oners were listening to them"
'The prisoners were listening
that is the phrase | wish to under
score. The apostles sang simply be-
cause of the irrepressible joy in their
hearts. But all unknown to them the
other prisoners were listening, were
being touched and transformed by the
contagion of their courage and conf
dence.
This is the fact of unconscious minis
try. Often when we least realize it, we
are influencing for better or worse the
lives of others. We cannot all preach
sermons, but none of US can escape
being an unconscious minister. By
our words and deeds, by our conduct
and character, we help or hinder
others.
Let US bear our burden cheerfully.
Let US do our duty willingly. Let US,
like st. Paul, be always rejoicing"
and when we least expect it, some
weary and stumbling traveller on the
journey of life will hear our song and
take fresh courage.

An item quoted in full: "The most
independent man in Garrett county to-
day is the man who owns the farm. 1t
he needs a little change he sells a
few fat sheep and pockets $50. If he
wants an automobile, he sells five or
six head of fat cattle and buys one. If
he and his wife want to visit the eX-
position at San Francisco, he sells
100 or 200 bushels of grain and is on
the way The farmers are the lords Of
creation these days" How about it
under the New Deal?
The county fair was being boosted
through advertisements and otherwise

The Oakland Garage was advertis-

Two Oakland lads, otherwise law
abiding and peaceful, but probably
led on by the movies to deeds of dar-
ing and deviltry, hired two saddle
horses from Liveryman Maroney and
journeyed to Terra Alta. They car
RED their artillery with them and
proceeded to "shoot her up" in true
western style. They were overtaken
two miles from town and escorted
back to Terra Alta where they were
sentenced to six months in the King
wood jail and pay fines of $50 each.
A laboratory for the use of physi-
clans and the general public Of this
