SOUTH AMERICAN AND
PACIFIC PHONE CALLS
REACH ALL-TIME HIGH
Messages Over Bell Systems
RadiOtelephOne Circuits Hit
1000 For Month Of June

Smashing all previous records, tele-
phone calls over the Bell Systems ra-
diotelephone circuits to South Amer
lea and across the Pacific reached
new high with total of nearly 1000
messages for the month of June, ac-
cording to figures of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
The report shows that overseas
traffic generally is less than Is per
cent below what it was year ago, de-
spite the sharp drop in transatlantic
business due to the imposition of mill
tary censorship.
South American business is at pres
ent averaging about three times what
it did last year at this time, while
transpacific business is more than dou-
bic the figure for the corresponding
period last year.
At the outbreak of the war, military
restrictions abroad shut off all private
and commercial telephone service with
Great Britain and continental Europe.
Within ten days, however, general
service to continental Europe, except
France, was restored over two new
circuits.

ELECTION BET SETTLED
IN GREENSBORO, MD.

The election bet between John r.
Meekins, Greensboro butcher and b.
L. Goldsborough, manager of the A
d p Store, was settled on Thursday
night of last week at promptly 2
o'clock when parade was started at
the Riverside Hotel headed by the
Greensboro Band and marched down
Main street with Mr.. Meekins push
ing Mr.. Goldsborough in a wheelbar-
row. Another feature of the parade
was number of boys carrying a cas-
ket in which Mr.. Willkie was sup
posed to be lying. The procession
came down Main street to the park
and then up the street again, Mr..
Meekins pushing the casket on the
return trip.
The street was lined with folks
who had come to see the first of such
parade ever held in Greensboro and
both participants and onlookers got
much fun out of the affair. We have
never yet seen man roll wheel
barrow as easy as John r. Meekins.
G. A. Gale made flash pictures of the

"Beer and bread make the checks

This rhyme of Teutonic folklore,
CHASING beer with "the staff Of life,"
is only one Of hundreds that pay
charming tribute to the health-giving
curative properties Of the universal
malt beverage, beer.
From time to time, physicians have
investigated the beneficial claims made
on behalf of beer, and the conclusion
is: they are accurate, and substan-

Maryland, released the following
statements as representative of the

INCUBATION USED TO
PREVENT HOG CHOLERA

The prevalence of hog cholera in
certain sections of Delaware has
prompted G. E. McCauley, boys All
club agent at large for the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service to sug
gest that farmers and All club men,
bers protect fall ltters of pigs a.
gainst cholera by having them inocu-
lated at weaving time.
Few swine diseases can spread so
rapidly through entire herds as chol-
era. The only possible way to stop
cholera once it gets started is the
use of serum. But even with SER
UNI, those hogs that recover are u.s.
ually weak.
Hogs suffering from cholera are
off feed, have high temperatures,
their coats are roughed, they are
humped-up and they seldom walk,
even to drink water.
Another swine disease that might
be confused with cholera is influenza.
Hogs infected with influenza, or flu,
suffer with high temperatures, ex-
haustion, lack of appetite, couging
and difficult breathing. Swine flu
occurs seldom in Delaware, but some
times appears when animals are
brought into herds from out-of-state
sources. Flu attacks pigs of all ages
and care of diseased animals con-
sists of providing clean, dry pens,
plenty of fresh water and only
small amount of feed until recovery.
Animal disease specialists say that
10 out of every 100 pigs suffering
from severe cases of flu die from the
adisease. These specialists advise
swine growers to quarantine all new
hogs about a month before they are
added to healthy herds.
Because of the similarity of symp-
toms of swine cholera and flu and
because cholera, especially, is ca
pable of destroying entire herds, Nc
Cauley recommends calling a quail
flied veterinarian when hogs appear
sluggish, are off feed and have high
temperatures. He says that much
trouble and actual loss of animals
can be avoided by having a veteri-
marian innoculate animals against
cholera.

LIVING WELL ON
FOOD THAT IS
HOME GROWN

Many farm wives in this vicinity
look forward to a winter of well-bal-
anced meals with a minimum of cash
outlay according to Mrs. Severance,
Home Management Supervisor for
the Farm Security Administration in
Somerset and Worcester Counties.
To these women, Give within your in
come" means, not scrimping to make
ends meet, but living we'll on an
abundance of homegrown food.
producing a family living right
on the farm is provided for by a
home management plan, which Som
erset and Worcester County farm
wives have already worked out with
our technical help and guidance"
Mrs. Severance explained. :;'This
plan anticipates family needs for the
coming year, from cod liver oil to
shoes, its most important provision
being the canning budget"
Pantries are being stocked with
hundreds of quarts of canned fruits,
tomatoes, and variety of leafy
green and yellow vegetables and po-
tatoes, turnips and other root vege-
tables are being stored for the long
winter months ahead. "The we'll
planned kitchen garden,-a very i'm
portant part of the home plan,-not
only yields plenty of fresh vegetables
from spring to late summer" Mrs.
Severance said, "but also provides
those vitamins and minerals which
everyone, especially growing children
needs during the winter for build
ing up resistance and general good
health"
The yearly household budget in
cludes plenty Of milk for the chill
dren and grown-ups and a supply of
meats such as home-preserved pork,
lamb, beef and poultry. "After ALL"
remarked Mrs. Severance, "it seems
rather foolish to sell ones produce
and then buy it at a retail price.
Isn't farmers best market his, own
dinner tablet"
The home plan is tied in with a
farm plan, which is worked out by
the farmer with the aid and advice
of the FSA county supervisor. The
farm plan makes for improved farm
practices, and includes the raising of
calves, pigs and chickens, and feed
for the livestock. Much-needed cash
is thus released for the purchase of
necessities such as clothing, medical
care, or pressure cooker for eff
cient canning, and repayment of the
loan which accompanies the farm and
home plans.
"Long-term loans for the purchase
of seed, fertilizer, tools and opera
ting equipment are made by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, thru
the Farm Security Administration,
to deserving, low-income farmers
who can't get credit elsewhere" ex-
planned Mrs. Severance. "The bor-
rover offers as his chief security his
and his family's absolute willingness
and ability to carry out the farm and
home plans, the purpose of which is
to reestablish the family on self
supporting, independent basis. No
loan is made until its expenditure is
planned"
Mrs. Severance stressed the i'm
portance of planning ahead during
the autumn, instead of waiting until
the spring rush of applications for
FSA loans, Farmers in need of fl
nancial assistance in Somerset coun-
ty may get in touch with the Farm
Security Administration Supervisor,

Secretary of State Francis Pc
trott is unusual in two respects.
Not only is he the best-dressed man
in the O'COnor regime, but he also
is one Of the few secretaries of
State who have spent any consid-

"a competent office staff has been

work except when the legislature
was in session. But with the we'll
dressed Mr.. Petrott things are diff
ferent He spends three or four
days every week in Annapolis and
the Governor is coming to lean up
on him very heavily as one of his
chief assistants
The word is that Governor Her
bert O'Conor plans to leave short
ly for a stay Of several weeks in
Florida, and that Mr.. Petrott will
be more or less in charge of what
ever there may be to be in charge
OF. At present the chief duty
looming up is a Polish Celebration
in Baltimore, scheduled during the
Governors planned absence. And
it is most unreliably reported that
Mr. Petrott is spending his eve
nings boning up on Polish affairs.
He is even trying to learn a
phrase or two of greetings in Po-
lish just to make a hit with the
audience.
