Negotiations for Federal eradirc

swine specialist at State College have
resulted in a plan of procedure wb;cb

And there you are-you can tako
your choice as to where the credit i
lue
The Department seems to feel that
hog producers of the state have hoon
losing a large sum annually bv al
lowing buyers to classify pork as
"oily soft or hard" procedure which
on it's face puts it in the power of tho
buyer himself to pay as much as S15O
less per hundredweight
The extension Service doesn't an
pear to believe much loss has resl1lt-
ed. Says its release:
"Of the $4,000 hogs shipped from
cooperative swine markets in Eastern
North Carolina since January |. 1927
less than six per cent have graded
: soft and oily at the packing houses
But whoever did it, it seems there

Complain Of Benefits
Paid Workers

The Unemployment Compensation
Board has run afoul of the wrath
of Southern Maryland farmers, and
has decided to change it's policy in
that area to keep from disruptlng
the traditional economic system, it
was revealed by William Mines
Ma'av, chairman.
Mr.. Maloy said the board had
started paying benefits this spring
to workers laid off i'm Calvert county
oyster packing houses, only to find
they were substituting the farmers
usual summer labor supply.
"Oyster packing is not seasonal
business under our law because it
operates for more than twenty weeks
year. Mr. Maloy explained. Con
sequently, when these packers laid
off their men, we began to pay them
unemployment compensation.
"Then we began to get complaints
that men were receiving checks and
at the same time holding employ
ment. We also got complaints that
many men were refusing to accept
jobs because they were getting
checks from us.

Traffic Tolls Less

Automobiles have killed only two
thirds as many persons in Maryland
this year as for the corresponding
period of last year, Walter R Rudy,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, as
serted in his monthly accident report
Thirty-four fatalities occurred in
July, against fifty-four for July,
1887, Mr.. Rudy reported. 1t was the
sixth month this year in which traf-
fic deaths were below the 1887, fig
ure. The one exception was April,
in which death went one over the
April, 1887, total.
For the first seven months OF
1888, the traffic toll was 207, as
compared with 319 for the cor
responding period of 1887.
OF the thirty-four deaths in July,
five were in Baltimore and twenty
niIe in the counties. Twenty of
t1Hse killed were pedestrians and
for of the pedestrians were chill
DIN. OF the others, six were operat-
ing cars, seven were passengers in
cars and one was riding bicycle.

FARM SALE UPHELD

The trustees sale of the Tillie
Williams farm, located near Theo-
dore, Cecil County, to John Potts
of near Leslie, Md, was upheld
in an opinion handed down in
the Circuit Court at Elkton, by As
sociate Judge j. Owen Knott.
The farm was bid in at the sale
a year ago by Mr.. Potts. Later, one
of the heirs filed suit asking that
the sale be rejected on the grounds
that he had made an agreement
with Mr.. Potts to have the latter
purchase the property for him.
Potts denied that he promised to
buy the farm for anyone, however,
he acknowledged the plaintiff had
spoken to him about financing him
If he purchased it.

Charlestown Residents
Want Yacht Basin

On the heels of the approval OF
the War Department engineers OF
the dredging of a channel 60 feet
wide and seven feet deep in the
Northeast River to North East,
residents of Charlestown, many OF
whom are yacht owners, have started
a movement to have the govern
ment provide them with yacht
basin.
There has already been a small
appropriation made to improve har-
Dor conditions at North East, three
miles up the river from Charlestown.
Charlestown yacht owners, however,
contend they have difficulty in an
choring their crafts safely, except
in the channel of the river.
A new yacht basin, they contend,
would result in many more pleasure
boats making Charlestown their
home port.

PEAK OF UNEMPLOYMENT
DEMAND

That the peak of the demands on
the Maryland Unemployment Com
pensation Board has been passed
for this year, at least, is indicated
by the steady decrease of the num-
Der of claims filed for two months
past. l. -
June was high month for claims
and payments and the aggregate
of new or original claims was H.
1888, or about 453 a week day. In
July the figure went down gradual
ly until the total was only 1852 or
a trif1e less than 800 for each week
day. The first four week days of
August produced only 1,0O7 new
claims or 252 day.
What has piled up work for the
Claims Department has been the
number of claimants who came back
the second time-who were reem-
ployed after getting benefits and
then were laid off again. These are
classed as additional claims. They
make much work for the depart
ment and among them are many
which should not have been filed at
all.
The figures show that there have
been filed at least $4,000 claims
which might as well have been rul-
ed out before they got to the desks
of those who have finally to pass on
them. The prospect is that in the
future there will be fewer of these
ineffective claims to delay the work
of the department.
The Board continues to mail bene-
fit payments at the rate of nearly
10000 a week.

Find Cattle Buried In
Hay Stack
Farmer Looking For Missing Son
Finds His Stock

While Joseph DeVoerk, farmer
living three miles from Elkton was
having Sheriff Eugene Racine start
a search for bull and a COW which
he thought had been stolen, the ami
mails were buried under several tons
of hay and nearly smothered.
He found his cattle while looking
for young son who he feared
might have been caught under the
hay rick.
Last Wednesday DeVoerk missed
his COW, and when the following
morning he found his bull was gone
also, he thought that thieves had
carried both the animals off, and
notified Sheriff Racine.
The sheriff searched the farm for
footprints and clues but could find
none. Then he notified all police
departments in Delaware, Maryland,
and Pennsylvania to be on the look
out for the missing cattle.
While looking for his little son,
who had strayed away from the
house Saturday morning, DeVoerk
noticed that the hay rick seemed
upset. Fearing his son, in play
ing on it might have been buried
under the hay, he started to clear it
with pitchfork
Unexpectedly he came upon the
bull and COW, both barely alive.
