Borrowing Trouble
Minnesota has really had troub-
les enough of her own lately, and
the legislature is one place where
that fact ought to be admitted. Yet
a prominent feature Of last weeks
House deliberations found Farmer
Labor leaders looking abroad for
still more trouble by inviting wo-
man who represented the Spanish
Loyalist faction to speak before
them. Tax troubles and relief bills
were to be put aside to hear pleas
for one faction in a bitter fratrici-
dial strife thousands Of miles away,
as Representative s. A. Stockwell,
leading Minnesota Farmer-Labor-
lite and prominent official of the
League to Aid Spanish Democracy,
moved for a House recess to hear
the speaker. Ordinarily, brief re-
cesses Of the kind are a matter Of
course and arouse no protest what
ever. This time, however, a minor
ity felt that so bitterly controver-
sial subject might be avoided
and time more profitably spent on
troubles nearer home. Representa-
tive Burt ]. Costello, Of Wabasha,
speaking with restraint about
foreign troubles" yet obviously
moved by the feeling which so
many members of the Catholic
church share regarding deeds Of
the lobbyists in Spain, protested
against taking House time for
such a discussion. The administra-
ton leaders motion to recess was
put, and some twenty members
joined Representative Costello in
voting against it. They showed the
determined vigor of their protest
by rising from their seats and fill
ing out of the chamber in a body
as the outside speaker began her
plea for SPANS Loyalist troops.
"A situation in which church
group to which many of us belong
is involved might, out of courtesy
at least, be kept out of public dis
cussion among Minnesota's law
Makers" a member of the minor
ity's "walk-out" group declared.

Is 1t safe to use old jar rubbers

No, always use new rubbers.
Rubber deteriorates with age, and
those left over from previous
years should not be used. "A good
jar rubber should be soft and
elastic and should return to its or
iginal size and shape when
stretched. If bent sharply, 1t

How can I treat my sheep for

Trim off the wool around the
affected part, kill the maggots
with gasoline and smear pine tar
over the open wound. Watch the
lambs carefully and repeat this
treatment If necessary. Many

When I sheared my sheep not
ed the fleeces were carrying con-
siderable chaff. grain and weed
seeds. How can I prevent this?
This condition, which every year
causes a great many sheep breed
ers to lose considerable money, can
be remedied in a large part by the
use of properly constructed feed
racks. Many Of the combination
grain and hay racks work success
fully and are easily constructed.
They may be of the wall type, or
the type from which sheep feed
from both sides. In addition to CIV
ing protection from foreign mater
ial, these racks are feed savers, es-
pecialy of roughage. Sheep that use
hay or straw stacks for feed racks
are bound to produce fleeces with
a high percentage of chaff or
straw. Wool so produced grades as
a reject and sells for many cents
less per pound than clean wool. In
many instances, the extra care in
producing clean wool will pay for
the cost Of shearing. P. A. Ander-

AUTOMOBILES ARE
TAKING TOLL OF
NUMEROUS LIVES
Number Is Twice AS Large AS
Over A Corresponding Per-
iOd Of Last Year

A communication from the Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, Walter R.
Rudy, to the Democrat" states that
fatal accidents have doubled the total
number for the corresponding period
last year, having been "a for the first
three months of 1896 and 149 for
1887.
There is also decided increase in
the number of pedestrians killed in
Maryland last month. Of the total,
number of persons killed in February,
1850 were pedestrians, while in March
the percentage was increased to 500
AS in the past, most of the fatal &C.
cidepts have been caused by exper-
fenced drivers; that is, persons with
years or more operating experience.
Besides pedestrians killed in March,
who numbered 81, 6 lost their lives
in other auto collisions; by railroad
train; by running into a fixed OBJ
ject; and in non-collisions.
It seems that the highest number
of fatalities occur between 1901
o'clock, A. M, and loo A. M, and on
clear weather; and Sundays are the
fatal days. There doesn't seem to be
any way to stop the highway killings.

NUMBER OF CALLS FOR
BEETLE CONTRACT

A number of calls have recently
come to the County Agents office for
the control of the tomato flea beetle
which appears about this time of the
year when the plants have just come
up.
Any good copper dust applied to the
plants will control this insect. Spray
ing with Bordeaux 1850 "a pounds
copper sulphate, 6 pounds hydrated
lime to 80 gallons of water to which
has been added 2 or pounds of ar
senate of lead) or busting with any
commercial dust, should be started as
soon as the plants come through the
ground.
This treatment is also effective
in the control of leaf spot diseases.
Repeat if necessary every ten days.
For further information the grow
err should get in touch with the
County Agents office.

Well, Sir, l had call one day last
week from two of my Chestertown
friends, who selected time for Wis
it when l had gone out to lunch on a
banana and they even left before l
could get away with the "banan"-
you know they must have been in a
hurry. don't believe they stopped
long enough even to get away with a
banana.
One of the Kent Countians was that
Teller Russell, who edits the ENTER
prise"; the other was Bill Collins, of
the Transcript. Both are column
lists, the former calling his "The Lam
cer"; the latter, "The Curbstone Dip
lomat."
Russell is the guy who used to wade
into "Chirps" once in while, and de-
sisted only when he was so thoroughly
licked he had to seek cover. Maybe
some of you people used to read this
column when it was getting back
at the LANCER" it sounded more like
a one-sided talk through a telephone
than anything else. I know nobody
knew what was attending to, half Of
the time. 1t was a god-send to those
who do look in on this side of the
paper when the order to "cease fir.
ing" was finally given.
Bill Collins has "growed up" so fast
and so tall I hardly know who he is
but he's all right, no matter if he
did fool me to death once by some OF
his unmeaning, unnatural dispositions
as "Curbstone Diplomat" upon the
question of prohibition. I thought
something was the matter with his
brain and I was forced to call him a
"Soapstone Diplomat"
However, they're both fine fellows
They're promoting a venture in jour.
nalism about which you all will heal
more later, and I hope they may be
eminently successful.

from the
Democrats Pen
from the

Well, Sir, l received letter this
week from-well, no matter whom or
where-but it was written on print
ed letter head, and advertised line
of business which, in some instances
is rather remunerative.
Further-some-more, the writer ask
ed me if knew where he could get
rooms and board for several months
this summer in farm house. Only
plain food and good clean bed de-
manded. In addition, the ocean side
of the Eastern Shore is specified. in
order, l suppose, that the bed and
board be famed by the breezes that
temper the heat, miles away from the
surf-beaten shores of the old Allan
tic.
And yet, further-some-more,o on top
of all this, the information is vouch-
safed that this prospective boarder is
ian old-age pensioner," and II am
able to take care of myself" in the
bargain, was the assertion, and was
asked what it would cost to run an
lad" in the Democrat" for week
or two. Outside of all this, my cor
respondent was very, very decrepit.
Well, you know, took great COM
fort from this short, pithy note. l
allowed myself to bridge the distance
between my present youthful years
and the time when I would sink into
the sere and yellow. I pictured slow
and peaceful passage into the evening
of life, feeding upon the fruits of the
earth, away from the MOL and toll
of the big city, and sleeping delectful-
ly under the zephyrs from the vast
expanse of waters which cooled my
brow as 1 gracefully relinquished my
self into the arms of Morpheus.
Now, wouldn't you like to be old
and a pensioner under those circum-
stances? Or is there no compensa
ton for you as the weight of senility
settles down upon your shoulders?
Well, maybe this situation of the seek
er for summer peace and quiet, will
give you surcease from gruesome an
ticipations, and throw ray of light
blind the dark cloud, which gets big
ger and bigger as the tally of years
approaches the allotted number of
three score and ten.
Well, hope my seeker for rest and
repose will find cozy nook, plenty
of fried chicken, breeze direct from
Ocean City, bed which will WOO tir-
ed natures sweet restorer, and good,
honest, kind-hearted folk with whom
to while away his idle hours. And
when at night, he seeks his couch,
may he not forget to pray for bless
ing to rest upon Government which
forgets not it's people, but remembers
to supply comforts that make a holi-
day of old age, and the last days of
pensioners their best days.
