asked him if he was in need of a boy
to do general chores. Mr.. Smith said
he was not he had one that was salts
factory, not knowing it was his own
chocolate drop he was talking to.
Then the boy yelled into the phone:
"T'ank you, Mr.. Sniff, I wuz jes
checkin' up on myself" I sorta think
Hitler was checking up on himself. "
He was trying to see just how much
"the peepul" thought of him. He
wanted to see how mad they would
get over an attempt to shut off his
wind. So, I've got hunch he knew
the rank and file of peaceful communi-
ties had no hankering to constitute
the rank and file of serried armies.
He wanted to see how they would
flock to his support. Up to this time,
the flocks don't obscure the Sun.
Well, he's welcome to all his little
beer parties. I'll wager he looks down
the cellars now before he looks into
beer stein. He'll be just as careful
hereafter as the old maid who slept
in a folding bed. Every night, of
course, she had to let the thing down
before she could retire for sweet
dreams; and, every time she did it,
she looked to see if some man was not
concealed Hereunder. Some evil mind
ed person was cruel enough to say she
suffered everlasting regrets because
she failed to find one there.
You know this is queer war some
way. Did you ever see two male
felines cussin' one another, lashin'
their tails little, eyes glaring, claws
set, ready to spring-and all the time
creeping away from one another with
almost imperceptible motion? A sor-
ia war without any fighting? That's
the way it looks to me across the big
ditch. Every once in while Hitler
comes out with blast about what
he's going to do, then waits for the
Allies to do it. The night his beer
drinking came very near to being a
death draught, he was bolstering up
his cohorts with the assurance that
Germany would win hands down. Why
the need of bolstering? He'd better
go out to see if invasion of British
and French territory would be the pic
mic his trek into Poland was. think
he's got some sneaking idea it would
not be, and another idea like unto the
first that he hasn't any strangle hold
on what he has gained. He may have
to rassle two mighty strong men be-
fore he can prove he can dash 'em.
l have an idea he's tackled more than
he can hold down.

CAUTION GIVEN AGAINST
FRUIT ON HIGHWAYS
Continued from Page -

in cooperation with the Inspection
Service of the University of Maryland,
and the farmers and orchardists, great
care is taken to protect Maryland
fruit against damage from the chemi-
Gals used in the sprays, and to prevent
fruit holding traces of such poisons
from reaching the Maryland markets.
Samples of Maryland-grown fruit
are collected from representative or
chards by the Inspection Service be-
fore the crop is harvested, and are
brought to the chemical laboratories
of the State Department of Health to
be tested for traces of left-over-spray
containing arsenic or other poisonous
substances. If excess spray residue
is found the growers or shippers are
notified that it must be removed be-
fore the fruit may be put on the mar
ket. The growers are very coopera-
tive and work readily with US.
"Other states are giving similar
service to the growers and consumers
in other parts of the country, but in
spite of the care that is taken, we
hear every now and then of cases of
poisoning that have occurred from
the use of carelessly handled and un-
washed fruits and vegetables.
Sometimes the best-looking and
most attractive vegetables and fruits
are those that have been most heavily
sprayed. You can't trust to appear
ances. It is always safest to wash
both fruits and vegetables, thorough
ly, before using Them >

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of our dear
mother, Elizabeth Mcdaniel, who de-
parted this life one year ago, Novem-
Der 20, 1888.
A loving one from us has gone
A voice we love is still
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Weep not that her tolls are over
Weep not that her race is run
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like hers is done.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o'e1
On the borderland we left her,
Soon to meet to part no more.
When we leave this world of changes
When he leave this world of care
We shall find our missing mother
In our Fathers mansion fair.
