1SSW DSdl.
There are many reasons which
make Mr.. Ickes the logical choice.
He would, if appointed, come up for
election in November, 1910. That
Is reason No. l, because the issue
at the polls is going to be pro or
anti-New Deal and no better ex-
ponent of New Deal philosophy,
strategy. tactics or behavior could
be found than the Secretary Of the
interior. 1t would mean clear
cut issue before the voters of ILL
nois.
Reason No. 2 is that Secretary
1ckes. who is sometimes called Hon
est Harold" has administered the
p. w. A. along with the Department
Of Interior, Job involving the ex-
penditure of billions of dollars, and
there has been not the remotest sug-
gestion of irregularity or scandal
connected with his conduct of these
two Offices.
Views Already on Record.
Reason No. 3, however. is the most
important of all. Mr.. 1ckes is one
OF the few members of the cabinet
who has appeared before audiences
on behalf of the administration from
time to time, and hardly any other
member of the cabinet has discussed
as many public policies as he has.
What the Secretary has said in his
addresses affords an insight into
his views, and the chances are he
would stand on his record OF public
utterance, for he is not the kind to
back away for reasons of expediency
so often employed by candidates for
public Office.
Under the parliamentary systems
Of government abroad, 1t is GUS
tomary for a cabinet minister to
stand for election. In a sense, the
opportunity of having a cabinet
secretary 60 before the people of
q large state In a national election
is a step to be encouraged rather
than discouraged. It has many ad-
vantages. Thus II Mr.. Ickes were
elected Senator, he would find the
pressure groups quite active and
he would have the chance to do
what so many liberals have often
advocated, but which 50 few of |
them practice when they hold elect
ed off1ce-he would be able to tell |
the pressure groups to Jump into |
Lake Michigan. This might lose
him a number of votes here and |
there, especially since whoever Is
elected Senator in Illinois in 1910
will be up again in 1912 when the
term of the late Senator Lewis ex-
pires. But it would be a signif1-
cant test Of fortitude in politics
1t would be an interesting test
also OF liberalism to have a man
like Harold Ickes in the Senate and
subject to reelection within two
years. Members of the Senate who
have convictions in one direction
but cast ballots in another and de-
fend their course on the ground |
that It's the only way for good |
man to stay in the Senate would |
look with eagerness to see how q
man like Secretary Ickes Jared.
Might Serve as Spokesman.
So far as the administration Is
concerned, it might be loath to
lose Secretary Ickes, though If the
Republicans are going to win in
1910, there would have to be a
loss of the services of the present
Secretary of the Interior in jan
uary, 1941, anyway. If, on the
other hand, the Democrats are due

Harrison Beachy, so, of near Jen~

after a hearing last Thursday night,
charged with involuntary manslaugh-
ter, following an accident on the
national highway near Somerfeld, Pa.
Sergeant ]. A. Blair, Of the Penn

failed to stop after his light truck
struck w. D. Collier, 80, of Somer-
field, who was walking along the high
way near his home on November %.
Police said Beachy continued on to a
point about a half-mile from Somer-
field where the trucks gasoline sup
ply became exhausted. Beachy re-
turned to Somerfield to obtain gasoline
and when he arrived townspeople took
the man in custody and held him until
the motor police arrived.

Cumberland Wins Verdict in The
Court of Appeals In Damage
Suit Against City

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
reversed a decision in a damage case
brought against the City Of Cumber-
land by Milton Turney Of Oakland, and
declared the city was not liable for the
automobile accident in which Turney
was injured.
The decision of the Court was
handed down last Thursday at Annap-
oils. A jury in the Circuit Court at
Cumberland had returned verdict in
favor of Milton Turney against the
Mayor and City Council of Cumber-
land, awarding damages Of $1,000 for
injuries sustained in an automobile
accident atop Washington street last
year. The decision was made on the
grounds that the defendants were
liable for streets presenting a hazard
to safe driving. This decision was re-
versed by the Court of Appeals.
The likelihood exists, according to
Lewis M. Wilson, counsel for Turney,
that two other suits growing out of
the same mishap will be brought to
trial at the next term of the Circuit
Court in Cumberland.

NEW POULTRY BREEDING
FARM BEING ESTABLISHED
Records Are Kept In Effort To
Improve Poultry Industry Here

In an effort to improve the poultry
industry in Garrett county, Paul M.
Friend has established a poultry
breeding business on his farm south
of Oakland. Mr. Friend is being as
sisted by Harvey M. Riley, who has
had special training in trap nesting
and care of hens for breeding pur-
poses.
Garrett county is credited with hav-
ing certain natural conditions favora-
BILE to poultry production and the con-
troll of poultry diseases. The poultry
industry in this county at the pres
ent time brings an average income Of
$3.50 per farm, or about twenty-three
percent of the total farm income, MAX
ing it a $465,000 industry during the
year of 1888.
Mr. Friend says this income can be
increased if proper steps are taken.
According to Dr. M. A. JUL, poultry
specialist, a 100-egg hen costs 8.03
pounds of feed for each dozen eggs she
lays, while 250-egg hen costs only
81 pounds of feed for each dozen
eggs laid. Each 250-egg hen therefore
saves the poultry raiser AS pounds of
feed on each dozen or a total Of SO
pounds per year. This equals net
profit of approximately $1.85 per hen.
1t is the aim of those interested in
breeding better poultry to produce
hens that inherit the ability of high
production, which is the means Of low
ering the cost Of egg production, which
in turn makes for greater profit. All
birds used in breeding on this farm
are from pedigreed birds and are di-
rect descendants from j. A. Hanson
White Leghorns. This breeding pro-
gram is being carried on in coopera-
ton with Atkins Chickeries and Triple
Star Breeding Farm at Pomeroy, o.
Trap nest records are being kept to
know the production of each individual
bird and blood tests have been made,
the results of which show no reactors
to pullorum.
This newest breeding farm plans to
develop a type of White Leghorn
which will show superior producing
ability under average farm conditions,
and these birds now under trap mus
produce $50 eggs or more without the
use of wet mashes, medicines or arti-
fetal light or heat, or they will not be
retained in the breeding pens, M.
Friend said.
