THE NORTHLAND

Now is the time the Northland calls
And beckonS you from your home,
Out where the pine and the tamarack grow,
And wild things freely roam;
Out where the tnkling waters ooze
From cracks in the hillside rocks,
Then ferret their way to rivers brink,
Then on to the inland locks.
Out where the smell of the cedar hangs,
Out where the camp fires glow,
Out where the trees in the setting sun,
Their long dark shadows throw;
Out where the waters duplicate
The shore-lines landscape long,
Out where the warblers welcome you
With Natures Wid-note song.
Out where you drift on the silver lake,
AS you let your paddles lie
And you catch the CLINT in the waters deep
Of the bright, blue laughing sky;
Out where the evening brings you rest,
With a quiet peaceful charm,
Where you're free from worry and free from care
And free from every harm.
Then when the nights dark curtain folds
You in sweet sumber's ease.
The night-winds Groom your lullaby
In the swayng tall, pine trees;
Yes, nows the time when the Northland calls
And beckonS you from your home.
Where Natures wide and welcome arms
Invite your feet to roam

people are not so enthusiastic Tor war Ill
1887 as they we're in 1914.
In 1914 Germany dominated the air ano
her planes and Zeppelins bombed London
and Paris at will while her own capital es-
caped because of the unpreparedneSs OF the
Allies in the matter of aerial warfare.
In 1887 the picture has changed and the
Germans must know that in another war
Berlin, Munich, Liepsic, Hamburg ana
Frankfort would be the targets OF enemy
planes from the west and enemy planes from
the east. What simple matter for the RllS-
SLAMS. who think nothing of flying from
Moscow to our own Pacific coast via the
North Pole, to pour hell into Germany just
across her border!
While we can not minimize the lmml-
nence of war in world with the Japs, the
Germans and the Italians, there are mighty
forces working for peace and Germany isn't
as cocky as she used to be.

In these States the ticks bite
humans, bringing on a malignant

The problem Of eXtermlnatlng
them is made difficult by the cool
indifference to the ordinary ne

Tt was in September, 1881, that
Dr.. Francis aquired these Ornith-
odoros turicata-"blue bugs" to
you-and he began starving them
right away. Alter he had starved
them with utmost care for hive
wears, he found they they still
ran around like deer" when he
let them out.
So he decided to give them a
banquet. He put them on mon
key and let them feast. He want
ed to see if the infection they car
ry around had survived the star

taken with relapsing fever and
suffered for three months.
Now another period Of Starva-
ton has begun. But it may be a
long pull. Dr. Francis admits he
doesn't know who will survive
longer-he or the ticks. To make
sure that they will not have the
! last word, he has put a 'codicil in
his will providing funds for con-
tinuing the tick tests after he has
gone.

ROOSEVELT'S
DANGER ZONE

ROOSEVEIT'S Telegram has been con-
DANGER ZONE sistcnt supporter of the
New Deal, but the fear
that it entertains for President RooseveltS
demand for shortcut to Supreme Court re-
organization is typical of the fear entertained
by many another admirer of the President.
Among other things The World-Telegram
says:
We have expressed before our belief that his
ideal of better life for the common man is
threatened by his unbending attitude toward the
court question: that his very place in history is
jeopardized. This man, one of those rare leaders
who have taken the side Of the weak and not the
strong, is in grave danger of knocking himself
out. And the queer part about it all is that no
one can score that knockout except F. D. r. him
self.
Failure in his court fight would mean not only
halt to his progress toward better life for the
rank and file. It would mean much more-traglc-
ally more. Get him down. with his own Congress
turned against him, and every mutton-chopper
Bourbon who ever inhaled highball in we'll
stocked club would be out to join in the kill. All
the forces of privilege, frightened and tanned by
him while he was in his aScendancy, would be
back for business at the same old stand. Reaction
would bloom. The 'twenteS would return, the
boom would be on, the financial mushrooms would
flourish. Idealsm would be out. Special privilege
armed to the teeth would strut the highways
and the byways. All the progress the New Deal
Symbolizes would be negated in another orgy of
individuaiSm which would lead to what? Another
crash And that this nation cannot stand And if
ne wins, all ne has acquired is the increased ILL
feeling that is always the penalty of the man
who must have his own way, regardless.
Individually we are people impressed by
speed and eager to get places in rush. Col
lectively we are bunch of timid conServa-
tives afraid of much progress in hurry,
Few dare a sudden plunge into the surf;
most of us feel our way into the breakers,
shuddering when our feet first contact the
cold water,
And how the mob delights in tearing a
peerless leader limb for limb when once
it gets him down. Remember Socrates! Re-

Uncle Sam is now asked to take
up in a big way the business OF
looking into the future and tax
ing care of things that may never
happen.
A Committee on National Re-
sources has just filed a 100000
word report on chronological
trends and national policy with
special attention to the social i'm
plications of new inventions. A
great many new inventions are
bound to develop in the future
and Washington should do some
thing about 'em now, the COM
mittee thinks.
Maybe what we need is De-
partment of Predictions and Fore
casts and a new cabinet officer to
be known as the Secretary of the
YOU Never -Can-Tell department.
The country is charged with
failing to give proper attention to
inventions and new ideas of past
history. The minute it heard Hank
Ford was out behind the barn
tinkering with a horSeless carrl-
age, this development should have
been referred to federal bureau
which would have taken up imme-
diately the problem of how this
might affect livery stable attend
ants, harness makers, buggy whip
designers and blacksmiths.
And years ago when the Wright
brothers made that first airplane
flight down Kitty Hawk way
Washington should have put the
matter in charge of the Bureau of
Crystal Gazing with instructions
to drop everything, and make a
few preliminary arrangements for
a Lindbergh flight.
Away back when SignOr Mar
conf first flashed radio signals, a
smart and alert government would
have turned all the facts over to
some Million dollar bureau with a
suggestion that the day might
come when the country would sit
in an easy chair in front of a $50
set and listen to a 60-piece Or
chestra advertise a washing pow
der.
When Thomas Edison succeed
ed in producing a flicker in an
incandescent bulb the president
of the United States should have
been notified at once SO that he
could get a federal commission
immigration at work finding out
what the ultimate loss would be to
the sulphur match industry and
what would become of gas jets.
All these inventions changed the
pattern of life in America and the
government went on just trying
to take care of the current trou-
bles without reaching out for dis
tant worries.
But no more. We're going to
wake up now and start reaching
out for our headaches in advance.

Lloyd Pusey Accused
OF Brutal Murder
Continued from Page 1
on a charge of murder.

on charge VI murOSI.
Pusey is quoted as saying: eve
started on our preaching tour May II.
We stopped in towns and would preach
in the churches. She and I would
preach together on the same platform.
81 found out she had been married
four times. 1t was the first I knew of
it. From then on, we were constantly
fighting. She threatened to kill me
several times.
"She said last night she was leav-
ing and she wouldn't live with me any
more and that she wouldn't be my
wife. l couldn't stand that, so we
fought. Then I hit her."
Authorities did not Immediately de-
termine where Pusey got the hammer.
There was no intimation, they said,
that any of the multiple marriages
mentioned by Pusey was irregular.
Police Chief Frank L. Merriam, of
Oakland, said Pusey had "bad repu-
tation" when he left Oakland three
years ago. Pusey and two sons had
earned money singing in taverns and
at dances, the chief said.
The accused man is the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Pusey, both of
whom were well-known in Pocomoke
City and vicinity, Mr.. Pusey being q
farmer living in Worcester county,
and specially prominent as a lover of
horse flesh and great admirer of
race horses in particular.
