before we begin enJoying three square meals Q day.
 The condition of the livestock ls just as serious as was that of the townspeople. 4 herd of 2l fine dairy COWS belonging to Ben Cheley wan- dcred away yesterday and was found frozen to death. Several oth- or farmers have lost livestock,
 Luther Skelton, superintendent of the school and in charge of our strong.arm squad which mans tho sleds and chops wood, said he would concentrate today on getting fuel and livestock feed in,
 Burning Everything
 The people can't go on burning fence posts, parts of barns and fur- niture. Skelton and dozen men have been chopping down trees three miles from town but they can't cut enough and bring them to town fast enough to meet the fuel demand.
 I think the most superhuman task being performed is that of tho boys in charge of the sleds. Skelton says they will try to use Q tractor today but admits 1t won't speed delivery much.
 It takes the boys about six hours to get eight miles from just outside Allendale to Hatfield. The drifts cover up the telephone wires some places. Yesterday one of the sleds dropped into an eight.foot drift and the horses and two men almost froze to death before the others could shovel them out.
 Can't Mark Sled Road
 It's impossible to mark Q sled road, High winds shift the snow. Just about the time the boys mark a bad drift the winds whip snow over the marker and obliterate tracks.
 There has been no great suffering among the people. Several frost bitten fingers and faces. Townspeo- pie did not get panicky yesterday when the last batch of food left Jones' store.
 They are Q hardy bunch around these parts. We all agree there has UeVcT peeil WltituE ho puu uS btlia but the boys who do the heavy work are far from whipped.

Last year Maryland motorists con-
sumed an average of $40 gal

The average motorist paid $3.50
for gasoline and $32 for Tax!
This tax is enough to buy a suit of

THE NEW FARM PROGRAM

AS a standard for measuring the
extent of soil-conservation and soil
building and the amounts of pay
ments that will be made under the
new farm program, a base acreage
will be established for each farm
participating in the program, accord
ing to j. q. Miller, county agent.
In general, he states, farms base
acreage for any crop or crops is the
normal acreage. The starting point
in determining the soil-depleting
base will be the acreage on the farm
in soil-depleting crops in 1885. AL
lowance will be made for acreage
planted in soil-conserving or soil
building corps in 1885 because of
adjustment programs, or other un-
usual conditions, and in instances
where farms soil-depleting or soil
conserving and soil-building acreage
is materially out of line with that for
similar farms in the same locality.
A ratio of soil-depleting acreage to
all farm land in each county, show
ing the proportion of farm land
formerly devoted to soil-depleting
crops, will be established as a guide
in establishing soil-depleting bases
for individual farms.
1t is explained by Mr. Miller that
two classes of payments will be made
under the new program. Glass
payments, known as soil-conserving
payments, will be made for substitute
ing soil-conserving and soil-building
crops on soil-depleting base acres.
The maximum acreage on which this
class of payment will be made is Is
per cent of the soil-depleting base
acreage, with certain exceptions. The
average rate of payment for the en-
tire country will be $40 an acre, al
though it will vary according to pro-
ductivity of the land.
Glass II payments will be made for
planting soil-building crops on land
which has produced at least one
harvested crop (other than wild hay)
since January /, 1880, or for ap-
proved soil-building practices on
crop land or pasture. The number
of dollars paid under this class can
not exceed the total number of acres
of soil-building crops in 1886, except
IN the case of farms having less than
10 acres of these crops.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH
Edcation Program OF The Maryland
Tuberculosis Association

The Association conducts meetings
before school, P. T. A. and other
groups in an effort to bring the neces-
sary knowledge concerning tubercu-
losis and good health before the peo-
pie At most of these meetings talk
is given and a motion picture shown.
The points stressed at these meet
ings are: the need for periodic medical
examinations; that the. earlier that
tuberculosis is discovered the quicker
and easier the cure; and the signs to
look for to discover the disease. These
are not infallible and are: fatigue,
hoarseness, cough, chronic indigestion,
afternoon fever, loss of appetite and
loss of weight. Also stressed are the
'best methods for preventing the dis
ease. This is combination of the
above, sanitary care of open cases and
the use of good health habits.
Thirteen hundred fifty-five persons
in the state died of tuberculosis last
year 1t is estimated that there are
approximately 1920 persons in the
state i'll with tuberculosis today
some known cases and some unknown.
tuberculosis is the Greatest cause of
death between the ages of Is and As.
More young women die of tubercu-
losis btween the ages of Is and 25
than from any other cause.
There were approximately 10000
deaths from tuberculosis in the coun-
try last year,
Millions of dollars are lost in earn
ing power each year because of the
invading qualities of tuberculosis.
Millions are also spent each year in
caring for the tuberculous.
The Association maintains clinics
throughout the state and the Miracle
House, both of which contribute much
toward educating the public about
health and tuberculosis.
Literature on tuberculosis, health
and cleanliness is distributed through
out the state and is available on re-
quest.
The Association acts as an informa-
ton bureau for those requesting
knowledge of the disease or advice.
The Maryland Association also CO.
operates with other agencies such as
the National tuberculosis Association,
the National Negro Health Week Com
mittee and others in their public
health activities.

LOBBY INQUIRY THROWS LIGHT

For months Fred G. Clark, ma
tional commander of the Crusaders,
radiocast pungent attacks on the
New Deal from a little room above
an Ohio barber shop. For months
also, the Farmers Independence
Council bombarded Congress with
kilograms hostile to phases of the
New Deal. The American Liberty
League. the Southern Committee to
Uphold the Constitution, and the
Minute Men and Women of Today
were other knockers of the New Deal.
Since the activities of the Black
Lobby Committee, much has been
learned of the background, the con-
nections and interconnections OF
these organizations. The Black
Committee set out to determine If
these groups represented spon-
taneous, numerically large and varl-
ed mass of dissidents against the
New Deal. The testimony has dis
closed the following:
The Crusaders, one-time leaders
against prohibition received $4,000
from Irenee du Pont, who also con-
tributed $S6,75O to the American
Liberty League.
The Farmers Independence Coun-
Gil, which, from its name, would
induce the public and Congress to
envisage a militant mass of farmers,
was revealed to have a membership
of three farmers, to have as its
Washington address that of the
American Liberty League, to have as
it's founder Stanley F. Morse, who, at
the time of the councils foundation,
was acting as consulting agricultural
engineer of the American Liberty
League.
To establish the interlocking ma
ture of anti-New Deal propaganda
and to prove that it emanates from
no broad popular base, the commit
tee submitted evidence alleged to
show that several men had helped
finance all of the aforementioned
groups.
The Black Committee has yet to
investigate the American Liberty
League and the Sentinels of the Re
public. The committee is bent upon
providing data to help Congress in
the drafting of legislature to correct
abuses in lobbying activities. Many
see in the disclosures the need for
laws obligating the fullest clarity as
to who is doing the lobbying and for
what.

UNIFORM TRAFFIC SIGNS MAKE
HIGHWAYS SAFER

Traffic control by signs, signals
and regulations is one field at least
in which countrywide uniformity
would be highly desirable, says the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department Of Agriculture
Variations by local authorities Offer
40 advantage, and are likely to cause
accidents.
Recently a driver passing through
a strange city was responsible fol
the death of a pedestrian at an inter.
section. He ignored a red light moi
n the standard position to which he
was accustomed in his home city
This death was not result of speed
ing or willful violation of the law
but was the result of variation in
local practice.
The Bureau of Public Roads has
co-operated with the American Asso-
citation of State Highway officials
and the National Conference OF
Street and Highway Safety in issuing
Uniform Vehicle Code recommend
ed for adoption by the States.
Both sets of recommendations
have been widely adopted. The Blu
reau believes they should be made
universal.
