ROOSEVELT AND GARNER

After a fiye-day session of the
Democratic National Convention, in
Philadelphia, and a flood of oratory
such as a nominating convention
never before was subjected to,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N.
Garner were formally notified Satur-
day night of their denomination for
the Presidency and VicePresidency
before a vast throng assembled in the
open air at Franklin Field in the city
of Brotherly Love.
The President and Vice-President
both delivered short addresses &C
cepting the honor conferred upon
them by the representatives of the
Democratic party.
After having been placed in nomi-
nation before the convention for the
Presidency, the business of seconding
became a terrible affair, running
through flow of oratory delivered
in fifty-seven separate and distinct
speeches, a speaker from every state
and territory in our vast country coll
tributing to the flood of eloquence.
No matter how enthusiastic the
delegates to the convention may have
been, it is a safe bet that these sec
onding speeches wore them to a
FRAGILE before the end was reached.
The convention was one long,
noisy, happy, harmonious affair, ap-
parntly, and everybody was especially
happy when the end of all that use
less speech making was reached.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

On July 4th, 1875, the Declaration
of independence was adopted and
the United States of America assert
ed it's rights to be numbered among
the sovereign nations of the world,
That was 100 years ago. Since then
the nation has developed in power
and achievement far beyond the
dreams of it's founders. 1t has enjoy
ed eras of development, growth and
prosperity. 1t has surmounted lean
years and eras of hard times.
Today it has proved itself better
able to meet the problems of world
wide economic adjustment and main
tain it's leadership than any OF the
other nations of the world. We
shall owe tribute to our forefathers
forever, who gave US the foundation
of independence upon which to build.

DON'T DISTURB THE PEACE!

Here is an excellent Fourth of
July motto, suggested by the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters:
"Dont disturb the peace" There
are many ways of enjoying the 4th
without subjecting yourself and
others to- the din and danger that in
variably accompany use of fireworks
and firearms.
In years gone by, newspapers OF
the 9Th of July were always packed
with accounts of the hundreds of in
juries that had occurred on the pre-
vious day from misuse of explosives.
Many deaths resulted, and innumer-
able cases of blindess and manning.
Property loss customarily ran far
into the thousands, and one year the
entire business section of town was
wiped out by fire that started in a
fireworks store and soon was beyond
control.
Fortunately, many communities
now outlaw the sale or use OF fire
works and even in towns where they
are permitted the public seems to be
learning that Independence Day can
be adequately and pleasurably cele-
brated without them. In progress
sive communities, planned celebra-
tions include baseball games and
other athletic contests, parades--
and, finally, carefully organized fire.
works Displays supervised by experts
in the handling of explosives.
If you have an urge to shoot off
fireworks, 1t might pay you to think
that one little accident may cause
blindness, loss of limb, dangerous
burn-and perhaps death. Fire.
crackers and Roman candles and
rockets may be fun-but they aren't
worth that gruesome potential price.
On the 4th, don't disturb the peace!

FARM EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES
INCREASE

A definite increase in farm en-
ployment of hired labor and an in
crease in the rate of wages paid this
spring compared with year ago is
reported by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics. The bureau antici-
pates a continuance of higher levels
of employment and wages through
the summer.
During the spring, farm wages
paid per month with board averaged
S2O.S9 the country over, compared
with S19.11 in April a year ago.
There is usually an advance with the
coming of the summer season. Wages
per month with board fell from an
average of S35 the country over in
1929 to SIS in 1898. The average
for 1885 was about SO.
A preliminary estimate indicates
that about $400,00O,00O was paid to
hired labor on farms in 1885, with
prospect that the pay roll will be
considerably larger this year as
result of the higher wages and the
larger number of workers employed.
From 1924 to 1929 the pay roll
for farm hands averaged about
$9OO,00O,O00 a year. When the de-
preston set in, the total dropped, af-
fecting both the number employed
and the rate of wages paid. In 1880
The pay roll of hired labor on farms
was estimated at $500, 100000; for
1881, S537,OOO,OOO for 1882, $780,
OOO,OOO;, and in 1888 the low point
of s352,OOO,OOO was reached.
The estimated number OF hired
hands on farms dropped from $685.
900 in 1929 to 1,770,000 in 1885,
but is somewhat larger now. There
we're SO hired hands per 100 farms
of large number of farmers repre-
;enting every State, who made re-
ports this spring and who reported
70 hired hands per 100 farms year
ago, 70 in 1888, and 106 in 1929.
There were 100 hired hands per 100
arms in July year ago, compared
with 1O1 in July 1888 and 1879 in
July 1929.
Farmers-forced to economic
during the depression as result of
lowered income-reduced wages and
aid off hands. There was consider
able substitution of family labor for
aired labor with more family labor
AVAILABLE when the depression caused
a reversal of the normal migration
from farm to city. The Bureau does
not maintain a record of moneys ad-
vanced to members of farm families
for their labor But it recognizes
that the number of persons in the
,arm home during the depression
was increased in many instances by
members formerly engaged ip indus
trial and other urban employment
who, no longer employed, returned
to- farms operated by their parents
or other relatives and received en-
ployment there.
Bureau economists believe that
the number of hired farm hands and
the volume of farm pay rolls will in
crease as farm income increases.

Farmers of the nation will be more
strongly organized by the end of
1886 than they have ever been, in
the opinion of John ]. Lacey of
Chicago, editor of The Nations Agri-
culture and information director of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton who spent part of last week with
Maryland Farm Bureau leaders.
Experiences with the AAA and with
the new soils conservation act, as
well as previous attempts to estab-
lish a national program for agricul-
ture have convinced farmers of all
sections of the country Of the need
for strong organization if agriculture
is. ever to get its fair share of the
national income, Mr.. Lacey told
Maryland leaders.

FOURTH OF JULY FACTS
Compiled BY The State Department
OF Health

The following data concerning in
iuries received in Fourth of July ac-
cidents caused by fireworks, in the
counties of Maryland, in 1885 are
taken from the records of the State
Department of Health. They serve
as the text of warning from DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the Depart
ment, against the irresponsible use
of fireworks and other explosives, in
volving risk to life and limb, in this
years celebration of the birthday Of
the nation.
Following the unusually large
number of Fourth of July accidents,
last year, physicians in the counties
were asked to send brief reports to
the State Department Of Health of
the cases they attended. In re-
Spouse, records were forwarded con-
corning injuries to SO persons. The
accidents occurred in the following
countless Allegany, IS; Anne
Arundel, s; Baltimore, 81; Cecil, 8;
Dorchester, A. Frederick, 5; Garrett,
1; Hartford, 6; Prince Georges, 3;
Talbot, 1; and Washington County
IA.
An equally unusual number of ac-
cidents occurred in Baltimore City.
Of the SO persons in rural Mary
land, referred to in the figures which
follow, "a were white and colored.
Two were under five years old; Is
from 5 to 8; % from 10 to IA; Is
from Is to 10; % were 20 years old
or older; the age in three was not
stated. Here is what happened to
them:
The hand or fingers were injured
in Al instances. One victim had to
have two fingers of the right hand
amputated as a result of the injury
The head and face were involved
in 25 cases. Six of these had in
juries to the eyes, with probable loss
of the eye in one case, and puncture
of the iris in another. The ear
drum was punctured in one case.
The chest and abdomen were in
volved in II cases; the back in two;
the arm in two.
Injury due to burns was reported
in 80 instances; decorations in 81;
burns and decorations in IL; burns
and abrasions in 3. One death from
tetanus (lockjaw) resulted from one
of these injuries which was caused
by an exploding firecracker.
Eight of those injured had to be
treated in hospitals.
Largely as the result of the cam
paign started number of years ago,
by the American Medical Association,
there have been fewer accidents from
Fourth of July fireworks" DR.. Riley
said, than formerly. But last years
list shows how readily such warnings
are disregarded and how frequently
they must be repeated.
"The figures speak for themselves.
Every one of these accidents was un-
necessary The facts are presented
herewith in the hope that they will
help to bring about saner, and GER
tainly a safer, observance of indie
pendence Day, this year"

Headlight courtesy" will go a
long way toward decreasing night ac-
cidents on the highway, the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland de-
clares in a safety bulletin criticizing
motor vehicle operators who persist
in "blinging' other users of the
roads by refusal to employ the lower
headlight beam in passing.
This particular form of highway
discourtesy is dangerous alike to the
discourteous driver and the victim
of his bad manners" said Garrison
P. Knox, Manager of the Club, be
cause in numerous cases the driver
blinded by on coming lights crashes
into the offending car, with dis
astrous results.

SING
the BEAN

DARDS of old could have found
ID no more splendid subject to
sing than the lowly brown bean,
especially if it were served in a
low brown pot, fragrant with the
mingled goodness of brown sugar
and crisp brown bacon! Mingled
with it are "reminiscences of the
songs that the pine trees sing out
in Maine woods where beans are
eaten by Woodsmen who know the
worth of long hours of baking in
earthen ovens.
Sing the bean then, and repeat
chorus of very good bean dishes
which you have tried and found
not wanting in universal appeal.
Here are two recipes which will
start you off singing in tune:
Encore! Encore!
Beans and Cheese Casserole:
Dice four slices of bacon and fry
crisp. Remove. Drain off most of
the fat, add one-fourth cup pecans
and brown gently. Add one-third
cup diced cheese, the contents OIL
one can of New England oven
baked beans, the bacon dice and
salt to taste. Pour into creased
individual casseroles. Cut two
slices of bacon in halves and place
a piece of bacon on top of each.
Bake in the oven until the bacon
is crisp. This serves four persons.
Baked Beans and Hamburger:
Chop one onion, add one-half
pound of hamburger steak and
brown in two tablespoons of fat.
Add the contents of one can Of
tomato soup and the contents of
one can of oven-baked beans. Salt
to taste and heat thoroughly.
Serve plain or over slices of hot,
steamed brown bread. This serves
six persons.@

collected by the Bureau of Public
Roads of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture Every State reported

increase being 1874 per cent in New
Mexico. Increases of more than 10
per cent are reported for Alabama,
Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Carolina, and
Utah.
The average tax rate was 3.S cents.
Gasoline consumed on highways
amounted to over 16 billion gallons.
This figure includes some non-high-
way consumption in 13 States that
do not allow refunds of the tax for
non-highway use. During the year
the tax rate was increased by one
cent in Connecticut, Delaware, Ne
braska, New York, and Pennsylvania.
In the State of Maryland the APP
proimate amount used on highways
was 2O4,S5O,0OO gallons, an increase
in consumption over the previous
year of AT per cent. The tax rate
in Maryland is cents per gallon,
