"Sealer" Seals for Painting.

The term "sealer," used in con-
nection with painting, refers to q
coating formulated to fill the pores
of unduly absorbent surfaces, in prep
aration for painting. BY preventing
the absorption Of oil from the paint
they not only reduce the number Of
coats required, but insure a more
uniform appearing and stronger film.

Bangs Disease

Washington Dairymen lose thou
sands of dollars yearly from Bangs
disease infection in their herds,
according 10 Dir. Otto J. Hill, ex-
te.i sion dtalyman at Washington
safe College, who says the loseG
result from reduced milk yield

creased depreciation and lessened
bIUeding efficiency.
Greatest loss IS in reduced milk
yiesd following abortion. This loss
frequently AMOUNTS to l6 to SO
Per cent. A recent summary of
aborting COWS showed that the av-
srage yearly fas production fol
lowing abortion was 22G pounds,
while following normal calying
fr the same cows, the average fat
production was S24 rounds, a diff
ference of So MOUNDS.
Fortunately reactors do not a

great for those animole which d.
lose their calves prematurely.

Calf losses are not Important to
the breeder of grade cattle. How
ever, this annual loss Is Consider
able where an attempt is being
made to breed up a herd. In a so
COW herd with Is aborters, the an
nual calf loss is eight. This may
rs%roy a sound breeding pro-
gram.
The average productive life Of
aborting' COWS is about five years;
or one year shorter than the pro-
ductiye lie of normal cows.
The lowered breeding efficiency
Of Bangs disease reactors tends to
lower pre- COW production since it
lengthens the lactation period.
Cost Of keeping difficult breeders
is considerable. The number of
cows becoming sterile is also in
creased,
To prevent these losses Bangs
disease must be controlled by re-
moving the. reactors. Free tets
may be occurred by aprlvinr to the

as the month for expressing publicly
the national gratitude, February, April,
May, August and December have been
designated at times.
Wednesdays and Thursdays were Sc
lected by the Puritans of New England
for their festive occasions in connec-
ton with giving thanks for abundant
harvests because they desired to have
them as far as possible from the Chris
tian Sabbath, which they observed with
strict simplicity.
The turkey typifies Thanksgiving vi
ands because Governor Bradford Of
Plymouth sent out four hunters to pro
cure supply of game for the feast
after the first harvest in the fall of
1921. Conspicuous among the game
birds and animals bagged by the hunt
ers were numerous wild turkeys, which
we're common In the woods of Massa
chusetts. From this circumstance arose
the popular association of these hand
some and tasty birds with Thanks
giving.
In time the day was. observed in
Connecticut; later the Dutch of New
Netherland proclaimed a public day
for giving thanks. During the Reyo-
lutiOnary war congress recommended
days for Thanksgiving Thursday, No
vember 26 1883, was proclaimed by
President George Washington the first
national Thanksgiving day after the
setting up of the REPUBLIC.
After President Adams proclamation
for the observance of April %, 1909, an
other one wasn't issued for IL years
when President Madison revived the
day and designated a Thursday In Aug
'ust, 1872, as the day for Thanksgiving.

THAAkSGIVING day is more in
terwoyen with the nations his
1 tory than any OTHER American
holiday and has had the most check
cred career of them all. a historical re-
view of the long chain of circumstances
surrounding this most pleasant harvest
festival reveals.
While Thanksgiving, as an annual
event under the auspices of the state,
is legacy from the early New Eng.
land colOnists, it nevertheless was first
proclaimed as national day for giving
thanks by the first President, George
Washington, who was requested to do
1889, writes Clifford Ernest in the Chi
cago Daily, News.
At intervals from then on to The
present 1t has been observed nationally
by proclamation of the President. The
longest interval during which no proc
lamation was issued and the day was
only observed by some and that section
ally, was about 80 years ago.
This hiatus In official national graft
tude occurred between the presdencies
of James Madison and Abraham Lincoln.
During this lapse the southern states
objected to Its observance by presi-
Dental proclamation on the ground
that It was a relic of Puritan bigotry.
During this long period of supremacy
Of the South and West In national at
fairs the festival was confined chiefly
to the northeastern states.
Thursday has been most generally
selected as the day of the week
for observing the holiday. However,
Wednesday has been occasionally used.

CANNERY REPORTS LARGE
CROP OF PEAS THIS YEAR
Company Will Can Over 100000
Cases Before End of Season

With $4,000 cases of peas already
canned, the Mt. Airy Canning COM
pany will have the most successful
season it has ever had in this county,
according to reports this morning from
the Office at Loeb Lynn.
1t was estimated that $4,000 more
cases would be canned before the plant
closed the latter part Of this month,
making total of 100000 cases. Last
year there were approximately $4,000
cases canned.
There as 215 employed at the pres
ent time and the cannery has been
working day and night to take care of
the crop. Farmers are being paid $50
per ton this year for their peas and
some of them are reporting that they
have been getting as much as two tons
to the acre.
The raising of peas furnishes ready
cash to quite a number of farmers of
this section and the company furnishes
employment to approximately 200

JENNINGS YOUTH NABBED;
THREATENED 80 MINERS
Melvin Hoover Charged With
Malicious Destruction Of Prop
erty and Attempt To Kill
TO HAVE HEARING FRIDAY

Melvin Hoover, IS, is being held in
the Garrett County Jail here pending
a hearing on charges of malicious de-
struction of property and assault with
intent to kill.
State police were called to Jen-
nings on Monday to aid residents in
capturing the youth, who held thirty
miners at bay in a coal mine for more
than an hour, it is alleged, and shot
at Louis A. Morgart, operator of the
Louis mines at Jennings, officers were
told.
The State police, who were called
from LaVale sub-sation, arrived at
Jennings where they were told that
Hoover was endangering lives of the
residents of the community with a
shot gun and had attempted to break
up several automobiles, smashing the
glass and spark-plugs of the ma
chimes parked out in the open.
The officers were also informed that
Hoover had been drinking.
AS the miners attempted to leave
the mine after a days work, Hoover
is alleged to have threatened them
with a shot gun and kept them virtual
prisoners in the mine. Some time later
he damaged his gun and the men
were thus enabled to reach him and
hold him for some time before he
eventually made his escape. He was
later taken prisoner by the State po-
lice and brought to Oakland and put
in Jail, where he is being held for a
hearing on Friday, according to in
formation from the States Attorneys
Office
When apprehended the second time
by officers they reported that he had
secured another gun and that he had a
third one at his home.
