Field Day At Maple
Shade Farm
Sixth Annual Show Of Cecil
County Jersey Cattle Club


Maple Shadee Farm, near North
East, Md, will be the gathering place
Saturday morning, the 18th, for an
estimated throng of 1000 persons,
the occasion being the sixth annual
field day and show of the Cecil
County Jersey Cattle Club.
The committee in charge, antici-
pating by far the most successful af-
fair of the kind yet held in the
county, this week recapitulated GER
tain important points regarding the
show, as follows:
Place: Maple Shade Farm, the
property of c. A. Beamer, show COM
mittee member, reached as follows:
From Elkton, turn left off Route 40
at Cables Tea Room ON the edge of
North East and proceed about one
half mile; from the opposite direc-
ton, turn right at red light, proceed
down Main Street to Episcopal
church, turn left, drive one-quarter
mile. Signs will have been placed
along the road to aid.
Time: Judging of the twelve
classes comprising the show will
start promptly at 10 a. m. Luncheon
will be served by the Ladies' Aid
Society of Bay View. Judging will
continue through the afternoon.
Exhibitors may bring their cattle to
the grounds Friday afternoon. AMI
mails must be in their stalls by $3.50
a. m. Saturday.
Late Entries: Persons wishing to
exhibit, who to date have failed to
enter, may bring their cattle to the
show, but must present registration
certificates to a member of the show
committee, identified by badge, be-
fore the show commences.
Parking: Adequate arrangements
have been made to accommodate sew
eeral hundred automobiles. A Mary
land State Police officer will be de-
tailed to supervise traffic. A special
group will take care of parking
ranks.
Judge: Bob Tilghman of Holly
Beach Farms, Annapolis. Howard
Barker, breed extension specialist OF
the University of Maryland, will have
charge of the show ring and make
necessary announcements. He will
be assisted by j. q. Miller, Cecil
County Agent.
AS was forseen, competition Will
be extremely keen, especially in the
female classes. An extra class was
created this week by the committee
for cows three years old and under
four. This was caused by the large
number of entries of cows more than
three years.
The American Jersey Cattle Club,
fully cooperating as always with the
county association, has sent three
sets of medals from it's New York
headquarters for award to the three
highest ranking animals owned by
All Calf Club members in the heifer
calf, junior yearling and senior
yearling classes. They are of gold,
silver and bronze.
Catalogues containing all entries
and other related information will be
furnished free at the show grounds.

Deakin And Coleman
Herd On Top
Takes Lead In Production
Average For Month Of July

The month of July brought about
a change in the leaders OF the Dairy
Herd Improvement Association,
Deakin & Coleman edging their way
tn the front to beat Frank Kelley for
first place. Their average for the
month was 1915 pounds Of butterfat,
677 pounds OF milk. Frank Kelley
ran a close second with 34.3 pounds
of butterfat and 799 pounds of milk.
Frederic Samendinger pushed for
ward with his herd of Holsteins and
JERSEYS to take third place. Thelr
production was 521 pounds butter
fat and 719 pounds of milk. Fourth
place was taken by Glenn and L. II.
McGrady's herd of Jerseys, produc-
ing 3O.4 pounds of butterfat and 66l
mounds of milk. L. Wickes Davis
stands fifth with his herd OF Hol-
stems producing 2S.S pounds OF but
terfat and 844 pounds of milk. In
the Individual cow honors we hnd
No. 18, grade Holstein, owned by j.
It. C. Hopkins & Son again leading
the list with 6S3 pounds of butter
fat and 1851 pounds of milk. II. b.
Crowgey & Son stand second with
C-24, registered Jersey, producing
62.9 pounds of butterfat and 1853
pounds of milk. Third place goes
to Jessy, grade Jersey, owned by
John Lippincott. Her production was
6O.1 pounds of butterfat and 1882
mounds of milk. Frank Kelly takes
fourth and eighth with two OF his
registered Holsteins, No. III produc-
ing 59.2 pounds of butterfat and
1881 pounds of milk, and No. IL
producing 1872 pounds of butterfat
and 1884 pounds of milk. Glenn q
E. R. McGrady stand fifth with
Nightingale, pure bred Jersey pro-
ducing 5S.1 pounds of butterfat and
1852 pounds of milk. No a, regis
tered Holstein, owned by l.. Wlckes
Davis. captures sixth with 55.5
pounds butterfat and 1888 pounds
of milk. Seventh place is taken by
Deakin & Coleman with Princess OF
M. S. pure bred Jersey producing
$50 pounds of butterfat and d1Oo
pounds of milk. Holly Hill Farms
and John Lippincott tie for tenth
with No. IL, pure bred Guernsey
producing $50 pounds of butterfat
and 1888 pounds of milk and Belle,
grade Guernsey, producing 5S.o
pounds Of butterfat and 1860 pounds
of milk, respectively,
During the month Of July 674
COWS were tested, 81 of this number
produced an excess of forty pounds
butterfat. Fourteen cows were sold,
due mostly to low production. The
average for the Association dropped
from 1870 pounds of butterfat last
month back to 24.93 pounds this
month. This decrease was due main
ly to shortage of pasture. With the
shortage of roughage experienced by
farmers, thereby causing a tremend-
GUS drop in milk production, and the
sudden increase in dairy feed cost
ranging from five to ten dollars on
the ton, certainly the dairyman is
more than deserving Of an increase
in price of his dairy product. An
increase of soc per hundred pounds
of milk would help tremendously,
but even that would not balance up
the increase in feed costs along with
q shortage of home grown roughage.
Stick together farmers and fight FOR
that increase, you deserve it, other
states are getting it, why not the
MARYLAND FARMERS?

CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING

The best way to avoid danger is
to keep it in mind and thereby be
prepared. At this time Of the year
when everyone is seeking shelter
from cold weather, a fire of some
sort is utilized to gain warmth for
the body. In the production of the
fire or heat many fumes or gases
are given off. One of these gases,
carbon monoxide, is very deadly.
Unfortunately this gas is practi-
"ally odorless which enhances its
readiness. Constant inhalation of
a small amount will cause one to
be overcome and not to realize
what is happening.
Carbon monoxide is formed when
there is not complete combustion
of carbon products, such as wood,
coal, natural gas, gasoline, fuel
gas, etc. When any of these prod
ucts are burned, it is well to see
that there is good ventilation so
that the fumes will not be breath
ed. The kitchen stove, hot water
heating coil, and other home appli-
ances using open flames from gas,
gasoline, coal, or other carbon
product should be carefully in
spected to see whether or not there
is some provision made to carry
away poisonous gas.
1t is a well known fact that the
fumes from a running motor in an
automobile are rich in carbon mon
oxide. This is one of the greatest

cision ordering a reduction of the
telephone rates in st. Paul of more
than 100000 per year. By its
decision the commission ordered
the rates for residence phones to
be reduced from $3.50 per month
to SITS per month, and also or
dered the rates on telephones used
for business purposes to be reduced
from $1,000 to $500 per month.
The telephone company has ap-
pealed from this decision and the
Attorney-General is now defending
the validity of this rate reduction.
GAS members of a minority
group" Mr.. Rucker said, "the
presence of Attorney General
Harry H. Peterson means a pro-
lection to the interests of all Min
nesota citizens and it is absolutely
necessary that we put forth every
effort to re-elect him to the office
of Attorney General. The Peterson
for Attorney General Voluntary
Committee is being formed and the
public is urged to give whole
hearted support in a united effort
to re-elect him."
Mr.. Rucker announced that in
subsequent issues of the paper
he would go more fully into the
record of Mr.. Peterson. Arrange
ments are being made for the At
torney-General's personal appear
ance at mammoth rally, the date
to be released later. Mr.. Fuckers
organization also urged the citi-
zens to remember that Oct. II is
the last day for registration. You
cannot vote unless you are regis

How One Usher
Board Raises
Money
C. E. Newman, Editor,
Minneapolis Spokesman:

-. T.. newman, EQlCor,
Minneapolis Spokesman:
Some months ago when the Min
neapolis Spokesman first came into
being the members of the Ushers'
Club of Zion Baptist Church
thought it would be worth while
to secure a number of copies of
the paper each week and dispose
of them to those persons who were
unable to subscribe for the paper
by the year; or who might buy the
paper one week and not be able to
purchase it the next; or even to
some stranger who might be in our
service and wish to take a copy
back home.
The venture has proven quite
successful. There are those, in our
church, who depend upon us to Sc
cure their paper as regularly as
they do their dailies. The mem
bers of the board feel amply re-
paid when we are able to count be-
tween one and two dollars each
month that we can add to the
church treasury from these sales.
Zion Baptist Usher Board.
Editor, Recorder:
I always look forward to read
ing your editorials. I find them
very interesting, and in most in
stances I agree with your views;
particularly the one entitled "Does
Judge Bardwell Favor Mob Law"
/ congratulate you for taking such
a courageous stand. Certainly you
will be criticized by a few-a few
opposed the abolition of slavery.
So don't be discouraged. Keep
that editorial before the public. I
believe the desired effect will be
had.
Yours for greater newspaper,

threats to life because there is al
ways a tendency to start and to
warm up a car in small closed
garage. This should never be done
because carbon monoxide is formed
so fast that one may be overcome
before he can get out of the seat
to get fresh air. Always remember
to see that the garage doors are
wide open before any attempt is
made to start an automobile.
Do not take carbon monoxide
poisoning potentiahties lightly. See
that all gases are properly con-
Quoted from the immediate air
that you are breathing.

HERE and
THERE
By W. M. Smith

1t was really thrilling sight to
see the way the young folks
streamed into Phyllis Wheatley
and Halle @. Brown last week on
the opening nights. There was
neither dancing nor card playing,
nor any other form of amusement
which are usually thought of as
alluring to the young. Just full
and fascinating recital of things
that the community houses have
stored up for her young folks
boxing lessons for the boys-to
make another Joe Louis, perhaps,
of some ambitious boy; electric
cooking and fancy dressmaking for
the girls and there was singing and
piano playing in a way to awaken
the ambition of any young person.
Yes, the youngsters are all right
and Halle Q. Brown and Wheatley
House are preparing to give them
a big break this winter.
This column would like to know
why a dozen or more of the en-
ployees of the Minneapolis and ST..
Paul post offices were not in on
the very successful celebration of
the anniversary of the Alliance
last Sunday? Perhaps they didn't
know about it. Perhaps they were
scheduled to work and were unable
to get away. Perhaps they know
that if the organization makes
jobs more secure and working con-
ditions more desirable and lessons
hardships and injustices, they will
share the benefits just the same as
if they helped to bring them about.
Perhaps - but why go further -
these dozen were not out-Why?-
Your guess is as good as mine.
A very healthy interest is de-
veloping among Minnesota men
and women of the race in the field
of political activity. Some are
tying up with Roosevelt, others are
boosting the Landon candidacy
the Farmer-Labor party has its
adherents. You may be sure that

weak and defenseless. Attorney
General Peterson pied the merits
of the law before the United States
Supreme Court and in a decision
which is regarded as one of the
most important ever given by the
high court, the Minnesota Mora
forum law was held constitutional.
Also, by the terms of this law,
taxes on a home valued at $4,000
were reduced $4,000 a year.
Framed Relief Bill
"At the request of Governor
Floyd Olson, the $5,0O0,000 relief
bill was drawn in Attorney General
Peterson's office. Thereafter, when
it was attacked in court as uncon-
stitutional, the Acknowledgement
successfully defended the constitu-
tionality of the measure before the
Supreme Court of Minnesota, and
secured a decision which not only
established the validity of this law
but made possible the enactment
of the $10,O0O,O0O relief law by
the 1885 legislature. These laws
enabled the state to give much
needed relief to thousands of it's
destitute, but worthy citizens.
Secured Phone Rate Reductions
Through the efforts of Attor-
ney-General Harry Peterson a re-
duction of telephone charges
amounting to approximately $780,
900 per year has been definitely Sc
cured for the 100000 telephone
users of the Twin Cities. In St.
Paul alone, the Railroad and Ware
house Commission rendered a dc

good, no matter for whom you
vote.
Our advice still is that you cast
your ballots for those men and
measures that mean most to the
welfare of the group. You may
trust the other group to vote for
what they consider the best inter-
ests of that group.

Finlayson School Notes

This week the assembly program is
in charge of Miss Harrison. The as
sembly programs have been so we'll
coached and acted that each has been
the entertainment hit of the school
week.
Just one more week of basketball.
On Friday the boys played at AskOy.
AskOv is rated as one of the best
teams in the district. Nevertheless,
our boys tied them in the number of
baskets made during the first quarter,
and OutscOred them to 5 in the Sc
cond quarter, but Askov's superior
reserve power and free-throwing ac-
counted for a 20 point difference in
the final score. With distinct re-
versal of form the boys were badly
beaten by Barnum Monday.
Finlayson was with the winners in
the sub-district declamatory conest at
Barnum. Florence Lentz, talented
freshman, won first place in the hui
morous division. Esther Elsola, tai
ented senior, won second place in the

dramatic division. Harold Lindquist,
who mixes basketball with oratory.
placed in the oratorical division.
Florence Lentz went to the district
contest at Sandstone Wednesday Ct
this week.
The other day Fred Johnson was
seen coming from town running at
full speed. There was no particular
reason, Fred just likes to run. Last
spring he won five firsts and three
seconds at the county track meet.
That probably is an all-time county
record.
Spring is generally conceded to be
the time of the year when sickness
is most common. Parents are asked
to inspect each child before he goes
to school so that infections will not be
spread, and so that teachers will hot
have sick children to care for. If
child becomes sick during the day,
the home is notified if they have a
telephone. If they do not have a tele-
phone, the child is brought home if
the roads are passable. and convey
ance is available. If neither of these
procedures is possible, then the child
is put to bed in the warm hospital
room, where it receives such care as
is needed. When a child appears to
have the beginnings of something Sc
riOus, a doctor is called for those chill
dren that cannot get home. One or
more child is sick in school every
day.

Grades
The eighth grade English class has
been very interesting lately. The
class has started a Ready Workers
club, and every two weeks the pu-
pills choose officers. At present, Ed
ward kolesar is president, Edna Ash
craft, vice-president, and Edward
Swan, secretary. The pupils report Oh
| books and give the lite history of the
author. They also dramatize parts of
certain books.
The eighth grade students are
having frequent vocabulary drills in
general science and are becoming ac-
! quainted with many new science
terms.
The project system is working out
splendidly in eighth grade history.
Many have passed the &C" block and
are working on the "B" block. 1t is
very interesting since the pupils know
just how fast they are progressing,
and how they stand.
The fourth graders gave a short
Washington program Friday.
Irene Ziegler, Wesley Brechbiel,
Norman Lewellin, Robert Fosberg and
Mia Clark have the most books in
their library book pockets.
The fourth graders have just fin
ished study of Switzerland in geo
graphy.
Mrs. George Clark visited the third
and fourth grade rooms Friday.
The primary grades have George
Washington on their sand table, cut
ting down the cherry tree. They
learned some of the rules of conduc:
that Washington wrote in his copy
books. They made a Little Black
SambO" poster recently.
The first and second graders start
ed their health booklets recently, and
the cutting is free-hand.
Mrs. Fleming visited the primary
room recently.
The second graders had a Washing
ton program for the first graders re-
