An Associated Press dispatch from
Elkins, West Va, under date Of June

sons to his deathbed today and told
them, the sons said, that he was Fay
Ford, brother of Bob Ford, who killed
Jesse James.
The sons, Lenville and Darnell How
ard, related their father, 81-year-old
Pearl Howard, said that Bob Ford was
killed at Lumberport, W. Va, 16 years
ago where he engaged in lumber oper-
ations. The father declared Bob Forc
lived under the name of James Ross
and posed as his (Fay's) brother-in-
law.
The Towards quoted their father as
saying:

Ants in the garden, lawn or home

effect control by this method One cas-

boiled together until the arsenite of
soda has dissolved. Honey added to
the mixture will make it more attrac-

The poison should be placed in a
small container which has had holes
punched in it; waterproofed pill boxes,

and will be taken by most house-fre-

Sometimes the little red ant will not
take the poison bait, in which case a
mixture of one pint Of water, pound
of sugar, 8 ounces of honey, 81 grains
of Thallium sulfate and Is grains of

GIRL WEEDS BROTHERS
STEPSON AT WINCHESTER
To Reside In Cumberland; What
Is The Relationship Existing?

Miss Maxine leila Oss, Cresaptown,
daughter of George Oss, North Lib
erty street, Cumberland, and Kenneth
Harrison Swartzwelder, Potomac Park,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. W. Oss, Har-
risburg, Pa, were married May 20 at
Winchester, Va, according to an an
nouncement made last Saturday. Mr..
Swartzwelder is employed at the Gel
anese plant.
The bridegroom is a son of Mrs. Oss
by a previous marriage. His stepfather
is brother of his wife, so his brother
in-law is also his father-in-law. L. w.
Oss, a son of George Oss, Cumberland,
married Mrs. Swartwelder, who thus
becomes the mother-in-law of her hus-

Ants May Be Controlled By A
Number OF Methods

Summer brings problems as we'll as
pleasures and not the least of the
problems is the black and red ant
which moves in upon the average
household at this season of the year.
According to Dr. George S. Langford,
specialist in Insect Control for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, these insects may be con-
trolled in a number of ways.
If the nest can be located by follow
ing the rail of the workers to the
point of disappearance, the inmates
may be destroyed by injecting little
carbon disulphide, kerosene or gaso-
line into the nest by means of an oil
can or small syringe. Still another
method is to punch several small holes

VACCINATION AGAINST
TYPHOID FEVER ADVISED
State Health Officer Riley Thus
Addresses Vacati0nists

eff you have not been vaccinated
against typhoid fever within the last
year or two, go to your doctor or the
nearest health officer and have him
give you the three shots that will pro-
tect you against that disease" This
advice comes from DR.. R. H. Riley.
Director of the State Department of
Health, and is addressed especially to
young people-boy and girl scouts,
camp fire girls, hiking clubs, campers,
and trailer tourists-but it also APP
plies to all others, not protected
against against typhoid, who are MAX
ing plans for out-of-doors, away from
home, activities, for auto trips or for
holiday tours by boat, but, train and
even by airplane.
"You take typhoid by way of the
mouth" DR.. Riley continued. "Eacn
case comes directly or indirectly from
some previous case. You eat or drink
the germs that cause the disease, in
food, water or milk contaminated BY
the discharges from persons who are
i'll with the disease or who have had it
at some time.
"The protection of public water sup
plies from pollution; the pasteuriza-
ton of milk; inspection and supervis-
ion of food supplies; the cooperation of
individuals and communities in the
sanitary disposal of sewage; the
steady improvement in household SAN
itation and hygienic habits; the care
full medical supervision of every case
of the disease; study of sources of in
lection and follow-up of carriers Of
typhoid, have greatly reduced the dan
ger from the disease. 1t is much less Of
a menace than it used to be. But there
are still sources of infection to which
individuals are exposed that can not
be reached by public measures, and for
which vaccination affords the only
protection.
persons who are apparently well,
but who have had the disease at some
time, may continue to discharge the
disease germs. Such persons are
known as carriers and if they are not
careful in their personal habits-if
they do not wash their hands thoro-
ughly after they have been to the
toilet, and always before handling or
preparing food for others to eat-they
are likely to contaminate any food
they touch. Flies carry germs from
contaminated sewage to food and are
another source of danger.
Health departments, State, city
and county, are waging constant war
fare against typhoid all the year
round. Special efforts are made dur
ing the vacation period through the
sanitary supervision of summer camps,
picnic grounds and public eating
places, to reduce any possible danger
of vacation typhoid from such sources.
Vaccination gives personal protection
against the disease. ..r..
$50 go to your doctor-or the near
est health officer-if you haven't been
protected recently against the dis
ease and have it done. 1t takes some
little time for the vaccine to'take eff
feet. Don't wait until you are ready t.
start off. Have that attended to first;
then go ahead with your other prepa-
rations for your trip"

COMMUNIST FALSEHOODS
THE persistence of the Communist pol

|'I,f1E persistence OF the Communist policy to lie
about the American Federation of Labor un-
ions is again revealed in editorial in the Daily
Worker, which Identifies itself as the Central
Organ of the Communist Party, U. S. A.. affiliated
with the Communist International of Moscow, in
regard to the action of the Milwaukee convention
Of the National Letter Carriers Association, A. f.
of L. affiliate, relative to proposal that the pay
ment of the assessment of one cent per member
per month to the American Federation of Labor
for organizing purposes be stopped.
'At the recent convention" the editorial says,
'the National Association of Letter Carriers voted
ito discontinue the payment of the war chest as
sessment to the Executive Council" By the term
Executive Council" the Daily Worker means the
Executive Council of the American Federation of
Labor.
This statement in the Daily Worker has no
foundation in fact. A resolution recommending
that the payment Of the assessment be discon-
tinued was referred to the Resolutions Committee
of the Letter Carriers convention The Resolll-
tions Committee recommended that the resolution
be rejected. The convention by rousing vote
adopted the recommendation of the Resolutions

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR UNION
AGREEMENTS

0NE of the fundamental principles of the Amer:
ican Federation of Labor calls for the settle,
ment ne OF disputes over wages hours and work con-
|ditions by agreements, negotiated between repre-.
|sentatves of trade unions and representatives OF
employers. The application of this principle avoids
work stoppages and prevents violence promoted
|by anti-union elements.
The tragic thing is that frequently the refusal
to recognize the union as the representative OF
employees causes the dispute to extend over long
period with strikes and often antiunion demon
StratiOns and then, after weeks and often months
Of discord, the employer finally consents to deal
with the union, which he could have done in the
irSt place and avoided both the work StOppage and
anti-union demonstrations.
An example OF this is seen IN the recent strike
of six American Federation of Labor unions against
the Warner Construction Company which has the
contract for constructing the big Green Mountain
Dam on $44,0OO,OOO federal reclamation project
lin Colorado. The unions involved were the Inter
national Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffers,
Stabemen and Helpers Of America; the 1nterna-
tiona Hod Carriers, Building and Common Labor
ers' Union of America; the international Union of
Operating Engineers; the international Brother
hood of Electrical Workers of America, and the
international Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers.
Armed vgantes deputized by sherifs at
tackled and wounded union pickets. The Governor
of Colorado called out the militia to protect the
strikers against violence. The Colorado State In
dustrial Board intervened A number Of large
Colorado corporations lined up with the company
against the strikers.
Finally, the Building and Construction Trades
Department of the American Federation of Labor,
entered the scene The controversy was taken to
the United States Department of Justice and the
United States Cancellation Service. The services
of Father j. w. Mcguire of Chicago, well known
for his work in the adjustment of labor disputes,
were also requsitioned. Negotiations by telephone
were initiated from the Nations capital with the
representatives of the company in Colorado. At
last, after the strike had been in operation for six
weeks, the Warner Construction Company signed
a closed shop agreement with the A. F.. of l..
unions.
In view of the work stoppage, the subversve
activities of the anti-union vgiantes, the calling
out of the State militia to prevent violence against
trade unionists, and all of the other economic and
social disturbances in Colorado which accompanied
the strike through fault of the unions involved,
it is apparent that all of these troubles would have
been avoided if the company had consented to rec
ognize the unions before the strike, instead of
after many weeks delay.
Adjusting labor controversies by agreements
is the manifestation of supreme craftsmanship by
both representatives of the employers and repre-
sentatives of the unions.

THE EUROPEAN WAR was two days old when
grocery stores announced a jump in prices for

Some of us can remember what happened in
1917, when food jumped out of reach and million
aires were created overnight at the expense of
the bellies OF the people.
If this is sample Of what we must expect be-
fore the war is well started, it is time for the
Federal government to find means of restraining
present owners of our food supply, or we may
have little war of our own.

Zens it has been no small problem to feed them in
the past nine years and to use the excuse of Hit

Organized labor is congenitally opposed to die
tators at all times, but if this country is unfortu-
nate enough to get into the present disturbance,
expect the worst.
Meantime, however, it devolves upon some
body with authority to stop the present inclina-
tion to profiteer in foodstuffs before the situa-
tion becomes more serious.
