A dairy farmer cured a sit-down
strike in his barn the other day. After
the cows were in their stanchions, all
ready to be MIXED, the farm hands re-
fused to begin their labors unless they
received raise in wages.
The farmer let the bull out of his
pen and into the barn. In a very few
moments there were no more sit-down-
ers within sight, and it wasn't long
until they consented to come in from
the pasture and woodlands and begin
milking.
A Question For Farmers
How did the nest egg get its repu-
tation? 1t never does the hen any
good.

We are hopeful that no more trees
will be cut down from along the streets
of Oakland unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Oakland's streets, lined with the
beautiful maple trees, give the many
summer visitors and its year-round
residents much pleasure. Oakland has
been envied many times by citizens of
other towns for its lovely streets in
the summertime.

Your Income Tax

An anonymous writer has written
to the U. S. Treasury Department at
Washington in regard to the blank he
was required to fill out concerning in
come tax. The returns were due on
March Is:
Dear Secretary: The enclosed form,
on which am asked to make report
of my income for the last fiscal year,
is returned to you with my respects
and deepest appreciation for this sub
tie form of fiattery. l am particularly
impressed by its resurrections of old
forms and figures of English speech,
such as compensation from outside
sources" met profit received" Gin
come from rents" "interest on bank
deposits" etc.
One question 1 got a great laugh
out of was, "Were you during the tax
able period supporting in your house
hold one or more persons closely re-
lated to you?" Boy, you don't know
the half of it.
Say, Mr.. Secretary, you would be
surprised. There are so many persons
closely related to me staying at my
house that l am what you would call
surrounded. Only the other day three
more distant cousins Of my wife blew
in, making a new high for the mo-
ment, and one of them brought a
friend.
For the last four years my house
has been full of strangers, all claim
ing to be my cousins or aunts or
something. l can't identify half of
them. And what burned me up was
when my wife's Uncle Jerry, who has
been living with US a year, slapped me
on the back the other day and asked,
Haven't 1 seen you some place be-
fore?"
The blank says it will allow me
$400 for each dependent relative and
/ would say the Government is over
pricing them, as l would trade the
entire lot for 81 and throw pair of
bicycle pants and magic lantern in
to boot. Two of my wife's aunts you
can have for the asking.
The blank also asks me to ode
scribe your business as provided in
Item g." and 1 am glad to answer,
Lousy, Mr.. Secretary" And it asks
me to center on line l of Schedule A
my total receipts for 1885," 1 wish you
would stop joking, Mr.. Secretary.
Fun is fun, but enough is eno,iSzA, g.!
you can carry anything too far.
Then you say something about an
allowance for "obsolescence, depre-
citation and depletion" That's where I
come in. AS an American business man
1 am study in obsolescence. am de-
pleted, Debated, depressed, denatured,
denounced, deranged and detected.
Yours in a barrel,

In my column of three weeks ago
asked what would be the result of the
new marriage law for Garrett county.
Fred w. Refs, writing from Balti-
more, advances the answer that the
result would mean $1.OO times the
number of licenses issued, plus two
to three nights room rent and eats
for two to four persons for two or
three days (would-be groom and would
be bride and in some cases two wit
nesses).
This, he thinks, will increase the
need of rooming houses and hotels,
but that the 48-hour wait may weaken

BERLIN, June 4 Q.N.S0.-Hel-
muth Hirsch, 21-year-old German
Jewish American citizen and art
student, was executed under the
Nazi headsman's axe today.
His execution, revealed in a
terse official announcement, was
carried out after an appeal to
Chancellor Hitler for clemency had
failed.
Urgent eleventh-hour pleas by
United States Ambassador Viii
liam Dodd, who asked that the
sentence be committed as a "ges.
ture" towards the United States,
were also turned down.
Dodd, it was understood, argued
that Hirsch may have conspired,
but there was no actual attack on
Hitler or any other high Nazi Of
ficial, and that the sentence as
imposed by the court was more
severe than usually ordered in
other countries.
Hirsch, son of a one-time nat
uralized American whose long
absence from the United States
had expatriated him, was con-
victed of high treason by the
peoples court of Berlin, It was
charged that high explosives were
found in his possession.
Public announcements of the
execution was advertised in Grim
son-colored posters and placards
which were pasted up all over
Berlin on advertising pillars.
After stating the youth had been
faxed" the. statement added:
"HirSch was sentenced to death
March 8. He was convicted of
violation Of the law relating to
explosives. He came to Ger.
many on behalf of circles abroad,
plotting high treason for the
purpose Of committing explosive
crimes"
