in 1889 for these purposes.
Sales and Income Taxes
The tax measures which the Govern
or Suggested" to the legislature to

The Governor told ths legislators
that he would have a bond issue bill
introduced creating a State debt of
$5,092, 900, of which 500, 900 would be
earmarked as the States contribution
to the teachers retirement fund, and
the $4,S92, 900 balance for "most ur-

Likes Oakland Very Much
BY ARCHIBALDSON

LIKES Oaklanu very MUCH
81 wouldn't trade Oakland for any
town of like size have ever been in,
and have lived in several during the
past ten to fifteen years." said an
automobile salesman yesterday, who
moved here a little over two years
ago.
"Here I find a spirit of good will
among the citizens that aids greatly
in making Oakland a city which l
would call IDEAL" he continued.
This is the expression of a man
who has been in business in at least
two other towns as large or larger
than Oakland, and who has been en-
ployed in other towns within fifty
miles of Oakland. In every instance
he sees a greater future for Oakland
than for any of the other towns in
this section of the country.
He has found here that spirit of
goodwill between the business and
professional men and women, the citi-
zens of Oakland and Garrett County
that he was missing, probably uncon-
sciously. He has found it easier and a
real pleasure to do business here.
So much for his work-a-day.
81 was told about the winters l
could expect up here in the mountains,
but must confess that have been
agreeably surprised. Last winter was
a tough one, but the most healthy l
ever spent in my life. 1t was bad
time for automobile business, but as
soon as the roads were clear and l
could get an automobile over them, it
didn't take long to catch up in sales
and in fact surpass my fondest ex-
pectations. This winter, of course, has
been unusually mild and has not inter-
fered in the least with business, either
to myself or any other business man
in this section, so far as I know.
81 am more than pleased with Oak
land also as a good place to live" he
continued. "The finest people l have
ever known live here, and every day l
find something or other that makes
me happy 1 have at last found the
town of my liking. All conveniences
of the bigger cities are commonplace
here and added to this is the most
beautiful countryside in the nation. l
had heard of the beauties Of this
mountain top, but had not made their
acquaintance, and now I feel as
though they have been part of my
whole life, even though it has been
but two years since first came to
Oakland"
He spoke briefly of the building and
other civic improvements that have
been made since his arrival, and it
was surprising to know that so much
had been done along that line in two
years time, but it usually takes a
comparatively new citizen to notice
such things, even though they are
made for the benefit Of everybody IN
the city.
While he doesn't play golf, he sees,
along with number of other citizens,
the Importance of golf course and
was interested in knowing the course
probably would be built in the near
future.
He has found Oakland to be a good
place in which to live, and is more
than pleased with shopping facilities
offered by the merchants here.

Large End Up" Is Best
to Save Hatching Eggs

Matching eggs to be hauled or
shipped to the hatchery should be
packed snugly into the case with
the large end up, says Berley Win
ton, in charge Of the poultry office
Of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
as Matching eggs are less likely to
be broken when in this position than
if they are packed with the small
end up.
Each normal egg has an air cell
at the large end, Winton explains,
and it is necessary that the mem
brane separating the inner portion
of the egg from the shell membrane
neither be broken or shaken loose.
Research at the National Agricul-
tural Research Center, Beltsville,
Md, has shown that eggs with trem-
ulous air cells Matched only two
thirds as well as the eggs which
had normal air cells. Packing the
eggs with the large end up removes
the pressure from the inner mem
brane.
Winton cautions that the egg case
should never be placed on the
bumper of an automobile, as the
vibration at this point is possibly
much greater than on the floor in
side the car. If the Matching eggs
are hauled in a wagon or truck the
bed should be matted with straw,
which serves as a shock absorber.
In the early part of the Matching
season it is necessary to gather eggs
often as Matching eggs should not
be allowed to chill. They should be
stored at a temperature ranging
from so degrees to 60 degrees Fab
renheit. A frost-proof cellar or base
ment is usually a good place for
storage. 'g's

ing for tremendous vogue, be they

waistcoat belts that button around

entirely of heavy laces like Cluny

First to Grow Timothy

Historians tell us that timothy
was first grown in the United States
by one John Herd, about 1717, along
the banks of the Piscataqua river
between Portsmouth and Dover,
New Hampshire. Whether he inn
ported the seed from England or
some other European country, or
whether he found it growing wild,
we are not certain, notes a writer
in Hoard's Dairyman. About this
time, Timothy Hansen introduced
the crop into Maryland from some
where in New England, and while
Hansen does not appear to have
been the first grower, he neverthe-
less bequeathed his name to the
crop. However, in some parts of
New England and New Hampshire
in particular, Herds Grass" it is
to this day.

| SAILOR HATS AND
TURBANS IN STYLE
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

Where there's new fashions there's
always new thrills. Just about the
most exciting thrills registering on
the new seasons program are the
nifty" little sailor hats and tur-
bans that are made of bizarre plaid
or stripe crepes or taffeta silk.
These are the sort that the moment
you see them you make up your
mind in a flash that your happiness
depends on acquiring just such a
chapeau. The sailors are covered
as smooth as glass with the striped
silk Tor the plaid) with perhaps a
little whirligig of ribbon for a finish
or a rakish wee feather; and then as
if that is not enough to entice you,
more than likely a matching scarf
adds to the allure, or if not a scarf,
one of the new romantic gypsy
sashes that ties so nonchalantly
about waistlines these days. Cast
your plainest dark crepe frock I'M
der the witchery of these plaid or
striped silk accessories and it will
take on untold glory and glamor.

Proper Care Of Harness
Will Lengthen Durability

Care of the farm harness greatly
1engthens it's durability. Wash and
oil it occasionally, advises writer
in Wallaces' Farmer.
For washing, use tepid water, a
neutral soap such as CASTLE or white
toilet soap, and a sponge or fairly
stiff brush. A dull knife will re-
move hardened grease. Then rinse
in the water and allow the harness
to hang in warm place until it is
no longer wet, though still damp.
Next oil it and leave it in a warm
place for twenty-four hours before
using. Do the oiling or greasing
, while the leather is still damp; 9TH
erwise, it may take up so much
grease that it will pull out of shape,
or it may take up sand and grit.
Harness should never look or feel
greasy.
Neatsfoot or castor oil, or mix
ture of these with wool grease, is
preferred for treating driving har-
ness. For heavy harness, use meats
foot oil, a mixture of neatsfoot and
tallow, or all of these wool greases,
to make paste having about the
consistency of butter. Apply the oil
or grease literally to the work har-
ness. Have the material warm to the
hand, and rub it in thoroughly. After
the harness has hung in a warm
room overnight, remove the excess
oil or grease with clean, dry cloth.
Too much grease darkens the leath-
er and soils the clothing.

IVES, indeed, fashion is in an ut
.terly feminine romancing mood
this spring. Hats gay with ribbons
and flowers and laces, suits pretti-
fed with the daintiest frilliest lin
gerie blouses worn for years,
dresses of prints so fowery and null
ti-colorful as to dazzle the eye and
that which is a sure sign of the re-
turn of romanticism in the mode
the revival of the laciest, the dain-
test, the most adorable fuffy-ruff1e
neckwear and dainty snowy lingerie
touches that even the widest flights
of ones imagination might ere de-
wise.
And now that we know that frilly,
ultra-feminine neckline and wrist
line fantasies are going to be the
very thing let's look up some of the
enhancing things which shops are
showing this season. The group pic
tured is typical of the many charm
ing, f1attering jabots, collar-and-cuff
sets and Gibbs" that smart women
are wearing to give an extra spring
like touch to their tailored silk and
their sheer wool dresses.
In the first place there's nothing
smarter than finely pleated laces
for neckwear. The good-looking col
lar and cuff set that gives so keen
fashion touch to the simple crepe
frock worn by the young woman
standing below to the left in the
picture is of rather heavy lace
in dark shade of ecru. The "
shaped collar is extremely fattering
and together with it's wide cuffs
makes a picture" With this lace
three-piece you can give infinite
variety to a winter-weary wardrobe
or it will enhance your newest frock
to glamorous degree.

Agricultural Hints

Grazing of woodlands destroys
more woodlands than the forage is
worth.
Rolling pastures in early spring is
beneficial if heaving has been
severe.
Horses usually need some grain
each day to put them in condition
for spring work.
The best time to set strawberry
plants is in early spring, as soop
as the ground can be prepared.
The United States acreage Of
fresh vegetables for market in
creased from $4,000 in 1919 to l..
$4,000 acres in 1885.
AS substitute for chestnut, hem
lock is recommended as the best
native tree to plant for use in rough
construction work on the farm.
Manure applied on wheat fields
to be seeded to clover or alfalfa
will provide extra plant food for
the legumes and will act as a mulch
to conserve moisture.

The Leghorn

The Leghorn for years has been
a widely known breed in the United
States. Leghorns were brought into
this country from Italy. The first
varieties imported were the Single
Comb Brown and the Single Comb
White. There is every indication
that this breed originated in Italy,
where fowls of a similar type have
been kept for many years. The
breed is noted for it's alertness, it's
stylishness of carriage, and the
graceful blending of sections.

Broodiness Inherited

Where only an occasional bird in
the flock is broody this can be
remedied by using this bird on the
home table, but if there is large
number of broody birds then the
best thing to do is to dispose of the
entire flock. These birds should not
be used for breeding purposes as
broodiness is an inherited trait and
it will be best to start a new flock
with baby chicks from breeder
whose flock shows satisfactory pro-
duction.
