All persons interested in the pro-
gram are invited to attend one o.

Small Barn Burned
Two Heifers And 800 Chickens Per-
ish In Flames

Two Heifers And 800 Chickens Per-
ish In Flames
The small barn ON the property Of
Annie Slicer, near Pennington, was
totally destroyed by fire on Sunday
morning. A call came to the Rising
Sun Fire Company about the noon
hour, but the barn was in flames be-
fore the fire was discovered by a
neighbor, there being no one at home
on the property at the time.
The firemen responded promptly,
with apparatus, but the structure
was doomed. Two heifers and over
three hundred chicks persisted in the
flames. A brooder house and corn
crib were also destroyed, together
with about 100 bushels of corn.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated in the brooder house, which
was within a few feet of the barn.
The loss is estimated at about
$1,000, with partial insurance.

Winter Stages Comeback
Heavy Snow And High Wind Causes
Badly Drifted Roads

The forepart of last week robin,
were singing, but Old Man White
has since chased them back to shelte
and staged the biggest sort of come
back, with the heaviest snowfall o
the entire winter.
Wednesday night and Thursday
brought us surprise in the form of a
two-inch snowfall, but Friday the
weather cleared. Saturday more
snow fell, while on Sunday and Mon
day it showed almost continuously.
1t is estimated the snowfall wa
fully nine inches, but the tempera-
ture was not low, and much of IL
melted, making slushy, sloppy, slip
perry, travelling and causing numer-
Gus auto accidents.
Tuesday a high wind prevailed all
day, swirling the snow about, ana
drifting roads badly. The main
highways were kept open, as traffic
is heavy on them, but those roads
where traffic is not so frequent were
blocked in numerous places, the big
State Roads plows having much work
cut out for them, requiring them to
be kept in operation all day Tuesday
and Tuesday night.
Our rural mail carriers could get
over but portion of their routes Oh
Tuesday and Wednesday, and the
school buses on Tuesday were or
dered to make return trips with the
out-of-town pupils, shortly afte-
school was called, as it was feared
they would not be able to get over
their routes by afternoon.

Drop In WPA Employees
state Rolls Show Thirty-Five Per
Cent Decrease From
Last Year

The Works Progress Administra'
ion reports that it had 1921 EN-
pIoyed on its Maryland program FOO
me week ended March 4, as compar-
I'd with 20,391 for the corresponding
week of 1885. Harry D. Williar
Jr., Deputy State WPA Administra,
or, said that he hoped that the pres
ent total could be reduced even tur-
her during the coming months, DIS
ebruary and March are usually the
peak months for relief.
Mr.. Willlar pointed out that the

loes not include the entire number
If WPA workers in Maryland, as
here are 4,572 employed on Fedora
Projects administered from Washing
ION. This total also is about third
mailer than it was year ago, I
vas said.
1t is the general opinion in WPA
circles that 1t is going TO be very dill
hcult to get the WPA load much be-
low 10000 for Maryland, as this
number represents the unskilled men
who are not wanted in industry and
cannot be absorbed until they are
given some training.
Some sort of rehabilitation pro-
gram to this end is rumored to be
under consideration in Washington
20 be put in effect after WPA pr7-
grams all over the United States hava
