War Insanity, Says Commentator

Boake Carter, radio commentator said before
the Northwestern Lumbermens convention in Mime
apos, that there isn't going to be any world
unless America starts it.
He said follows: The United States should
be more concerned in building up its business
than trying to the democracies of the world.
The propaganda which is being broadcast today,
trying to involve this country in foreign difficulties
is designed by the left wingers to divert attention
from integral shortcomings and their faces
-. We don't have to have war-it would be insanity
to get into one"
AS one of our citizens aptly stated we spend
the insignificant of dime to relieve suffering
and rehabilitate lives, and then spend millions to
blow them to bits.
Surprising Action
The action of the county commissioners in dis
missing the County Highway Commissioner, Glen c.
Buckley surprise and disappointment.
Under the law his term of office does not expire
until next May. When he asked if there any
reason for this action if there were any charges
against him, he told there charges.
Thus have a very efficient official dismissed be-
fore his term expired, and for apparent reason.
He has been very competent and faithful official,
honest, fair to ALL played favorites, and did his
utmost to protect the interests of the taxpayers
The commissioners clearly violated the law in this
action and appeal to the court would probably
nullify their action.
That is the situation, understand it. The
commissioners have had very satisfactory record,
and to start in the year in this manner is to be
regretted-and this is putting it very mildly-St.

Cat Catches Mouse,
Dies of Shock

MANKATO = Splatterdash, the
cat which patrolled the storeroom
of a local food store Is dead. Well
known to customers of the store
because of it's interest in what they
were purchasing and because of
the strange collar that 1t once wore
to keep it on duty in the storeroom,
the cat died shortly after killing a
mouse. Splatterdash was placed on
mouse patrol work in the food
store when still young and showed
some promise of becoming a good
mouser, but the kitten soon lost in
terest in the game and took to
conducting his patrol in the front
of the store. Finally collar made
of cardboard was devised by the
kittens owner to keep it In the
bounds in the storehouse. But still
Splatterdash caught no mice. A few
days ago the cat was sleeping on
the storeroom floor, when a mouse
grown overconfident, apparently
bumped into Splatterdash, as it
ambled across the floor. Acting un-
CONSCIOUSLY uIlueT natural cat
reflex, Splatterdash swiped at the
mouse with it's paw and that was
the end of the mouse. The shock
was too much for the cat. 1t went
into complete collapse, and des-
pite the attention of veterinarians,
passed away.

Produce Man Finds
FOur-Legged Chicken

KIESTER-Four drum sticks
from one chicken may be asking a
lot but might not be impossible at
that. S. p. Dollum, local produce
dealer discovered a chicken recent
ly that had four legs. The extra
leg had grown out beside another
leg set straight back among the
tail feathers. Mr.. Dollum decided
an extra drum stick wouldn't be
bad for dinner, so beheaded the
fowl. When feathers were remov-
ed it was found that the extra leg
had two feet. There's an idea for
some of our poultry raisers. Why
not develop a four legged chicken?

Thomas II. White Will Retire
From N. u. Experiment Station
His Sweet Potato
Experiments Mean
Much to Growers

A man whose work has been worth
more than $4,000 per year to the
sweet potato farmers of Maryland
is retiring from the University Of
Maryland Experiment Station at
College Park.
Thomas H. White, who started his
horticultural work on the campus
over Al years ago, is regarded as the
father of the Maryland golden sweet
potato, now marketed to the extent
of more than 100000 bushels an
nually. Farmers have been realizing
10 to Is cents more per bushel than
on the varieties produced before
Tom" White perfected his type.
The Maryland golden experiments
began in 1915, when Mr.. White no.
ticed big-stemmed jersey sweet po-
tatoes appeared in two colors-
straw colored and orange or carrot
colored-the latter being regarded
as better. The Maryland golden re-
suited after six years OF planting in
one patch only orange Jerseys with
orange streaks through the flesh.
Mr.. Whites achievements at the
experiment station have not been
restricted TO- yams, however. He has

States with his parents and three
brothers In 1888 under auspices OF
the Church Emigration Society,
which had received requests from
several prominent Charles County
md families for settlement OF
English families there.
The younger Mr.. White, who had
developed liking for horticultural
work early in life, was somewhat
disrnayed to find the county a corn,
wheat and tobacco section, but, in
1891, he succeeded in obtaining as
