THE UNITED STATES GOES
ON AS USUAL
BY ]. E. Jones

Washington, D. c., August--For
many weeks the people of the
United States have lived in state of
excitement and fear over the Eur
opean war, principally because the
German raiders have been horrible,
and successful in their methods
Our Government programs have
been whipped into shape and every
thing is on the move. The United
States will be on war basis to de-
fend our country and the Western
Hemisphere by the time the Germans
conquer Europe, and are ready to
come-up-and-see-us and try to fast
en- us to their "axles."
The last loud speech by Hitler is
threat to destroy England, but
between the lines there are notes
of desire for peace, for the likely
reason that the tyrant has bitten
off more than he can chew, and is
troubled about enforcing his author
ity over the innocent victims he has
battered down. In any event Great
Britain is ahead of us, and We are
compelled to await the outcome be-
fore anticipations that Swastikas
will be presented to the nephews of
Uncle Sam. We are not next on the
list, even though some of the poll
ticians in Washington are hysteric-
al enough to believe that we are.
The plans are made, the money
is voted, the contracts are being let
and U. S. national security is in the
bag. The work will be finished and
ready in plenty of time to greet
Herr Hitler as soon as he can get
ready to come over here and try his
game on us.
Suppose we give this war stuff a
breathing spell' and turn our
attention to the important business
before the American people.
Foreign trade, commerce and trav-
ell have been badly upset, but the
United States is having better times
than the other-fellows, and our
Hemisphere is sufficient unto itself
and capable of taking care of all
problems. The war plans and manu-
featuring enterprises are EXTRAS
in the industrial scheme. They don't
and will not supplant regular manu-
featuring and activities.
But get the fact straight in your
mind, that the United States is
going on as usual. That's Democ-
racy--and regardless of wars and
political battles Democracy will
survive.

1910 the 100000 aliens in the
United States must go to any one of
1900 post offices and be registered
and ingerprinted in accordance with
the Alien Registration Act of 1910.
Aliens will be registered at all
first and second class post offices
and at all county seat post offices,
of which there are total of ap-
proximately 1900 in the country
Forms will be translated into six
languages.
The blanks contain Is questions
Most of the questions are routine,
covering names, ages, physical des-
cription, places and dates of arrival

present citizenship status. One Dues
ton asks for full information on
any past criminal record, except
minor traffic violations.
All those who register are re-

CHESAPEAKE BAY FISHING
FAIR

It's Fishing Fair time again! With
six shots roaring from the cannon of
the Coast Guard Cutter, CALYPSO,
the 5th Annual Grand Contest will
get under way Saturday, at 500
A. M, August 10th, at Crisfield, the
seafood capital of the U. S. A.
Really, the Fishing Fair is just a
big carnival on water, the like OF
which you never saw before. Ex-
hibits, contests, and tours fill the
two day program, and what pro-
gram, for the biggest fish, the big
gest angler, the best fish caller, the
best decorated boat, the youngest
angler, altogether nearly 100 troph-
les and prizes and mammoth crab
feast free to. contestants.
At an average Fishing Fair twelve
to fifteen states and several foreign
countries are represented. But
according to inquiries this year, it
would not surprise Association offic-
ials If more than the usual five to
six thousand anglers attend from
fifteen to twenty states. For certain
ly, this is the largest anglers con-
vention in the world. Here the visit
ors will see row boats and ocean
liners, millionaires and coal miners.
All anglers look alike to each other;
they talk together; the high and low
are equal, just as all men are equal
before fishes and even fish doesn't
care who catches it.
Crisfield has made great prep
arations to entertain by setting up
a special guided tour of seafood ex-
hibits and packing houses, another
to the famous Tangier and Smiths
Islands and to historic points on the
mainland. OF special interest is the
amateur photographers tour under
the direction of Norman Harring-
ton, the best young professional
in the United States. He got that
way riding hobby of picture--tak-
en- with Brownie.
This year anglers may register
by mail, thus avoiding the rush at
the registration booth.
You'll see boats from every port
on the Chesapeake and If you look
carefully you will see the prize
Irish bats and the black and red
swallows, birds always exhibited at
the Fishing Fair Grand Contest.

BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT
UNITE FOR DEFENSE DRIVE

With the Presidents Advisory
Commission working toward the
double objective of aiding the Allies
and at the same time carrying out
the country's defense program,
American business and the Govern
ment have begun to mobilize the
nations industrial power. For the
first time since MIRA days, business
is back in harness pulling with the
Government in it's plans for large
scale production of defense equip
ment.
Government officials and industr-
ial leaders have decided that or
anization of industry for war equip
ment production cannot wait upon
the wars outcome, despite Frances
defeat on its own battlefields. The
Natl. Defense Commission, charged
with getting action from industry,
is operating under full authority
from the President to get results.
Both William s. Knudsen and Ed
ward R. Stettinius are devoting full
time to their tasks. Mr.. Stettinius
is busy now surveying and prepar-
ing plans to acquire stocks of raw
materials in which the United States
may be deficient. Mr.. Knudsen is
seeking to develop order and stand
ardization out of comparative chaos
in airplane and military equipment
types. The tasks of Ralph Budd, in
dealing with transport problems,
and of Leon Henderson and Chester
Davis, will come later. Mr.. Hender-
son is charged with watching prices
to warn of any danger signs of
runaway, while Mr.. Davis has the
important task of finding markets
for the surplus production of Amer
lean agriculture.
President Roosevelt has told
newspapermen that he had not yet
run against the problem of determ-
lining priorities in manufacture of
equipment for defense. Under Sec
ton 100 of the National Defense
Act of 1916, the President has the
power:
/. To place orders with any fac
tory in the United States and to
require that factory to give preced
ence to government orders.
2. To requisition and to operate
the plants of any producer who re-
fuses to comply with the request of
the Government
3. To punish with Jail sentence
and fine anyone who refuses to fill
a governmtnt contract under the
terms of the law.
1t is under the Defense Act of
1916 that authority is given to
create and enforce plan of indus
trial mobilization. The War Depart
ment has such a plan, but it is the
Presidents decision to operate in
event of an emergency through ex-
listing government agencies, sup
plemented by the National Defense
Commission.

GOVERNMENT. LOANS TO
FARMERS

A summary of five years exper-
fence in the rehabilitation of needy
farm families by the Government
Farm Security Administration shows
that more than 100000 farm
families were on relief during the
depression, and that relief payments
did not cure, and that rehabilitation
loans have been made to more than
100000 farm families which could
not get farm credits.
Although much of the $385,OO0,-
900 loaned to the 100000 families
is not due for repayment for several
years, more than 100000 has
been repaid. The FSA is optimistic
enough to estimate that from 80 to
IS per cent of all loans eventually
will be repaid, in spite of whole
sale defaults.

One of the greatest mistakes white
men made when they spread over
this country with its continental
climate was to do poor job with
grass. We plowed up millions of
acres of grassland; we overgrazed
millions of other acres. We thought
too much and we still think too
much, in terms of plows and cult
vators. My guess is that even today
not one farmer in ten uses good
pasture methods. Too many still fail
to realize that on certain lands in
grass, heavy rains wash away less
than Ia ton of soil to the acre in the
course of a whole summer while
the same kind of land in corn or
cotton may lose hundred times as
much soil.--H. A. Wallace, Secretary
of Agriculture.

PENNSYLVANIA OPEN SEASON
ON DEER

When the open season on deer
comes along in Pennsylvania the
coming December there will be an
open season on both does and bucks,
according to an announcement just
made at Harrisburg by the State
Game Commission.
While both does and bucks wall
be fair game for the hunters, shoot
ing of spike bucks will be prohibited
as usual.
The opening of the season on does
follows the death of thousands of
deer in Pennsylvania the past win
ter and the months following from
starvation. The deer population of
the State is too large for the avail
able food supply, hence the decision
to cut down. the herds by removing
restrictions against shooting of
does.

The innocent often suffer most in
this world--and that is true in the
case of war. There will be famine
in Europe this winter, say the
authorities, and only two powers
will be comparatively immune. Those
are the two belligerent powers--Ger-
many and England.
Germany has Systematically loot
ed the granaries of the countries she
has seized. And the English feet is
still adequate to keep her merchant
shipping going.
Famine means plague, disease,
untold misery. And If it comes. it
means the collapse of the Europe we
have known. It takes many years
Tor q people to recover from the
effects of even one season Of starva-
ton and malnutrition.

"OUT TO LUNCH"

France persisted still observing a
government enforced 1.-TWO hour
noon hour" Her people were "out
to lunch" economically, politically
and militarily when the Germans
marched in. This is the only pos
sible conclusion to be drawn from
news reports, and in them lies an
eternal warning for America.
France carried ''social reform
to the point of national decay. Polit-
ically we have been following a
parallel path. We too have been
chasing rainbows of unreasoned
reform.
The world owes no one living.
The impact of realism, not Hitler,
destroyed France. There is no secur-
ity except that attained by constant
labor. This is not theory. 1t is a
basic law which will intimately de-
eide our future individually and as
q nation, as it did that of France.
For long years we have acted on
the belief that by arbitrary shorten
ing hours of work, penalizing ambi-
ton and profit, and curtailing pro-
ductive enterprise, we could, some
how, someday, lose ourselves in the
distant blue haze of collective Sc
curity. We have been gyrating in a
vicious, futile circle, labor against
capital, politician against business
man. Witness the sitdown strike,
the provocative, DEMONSTRATING
extremist generalizing on scattered
abuses by industry, the pathetic
picture of thousands of communi-
ties and millions of individuals dy-
ing for free" public money--each
striving to get a share of the loot.
These are the things that destroy
nations, and make rich paturage
for fifth columnists. They destroyed
France. If we go back to work now,
a nation of free men under a system
of free enterprise. they will not
destroy us-we will not be caught
tout to lunch"

GUERNSEY FIELD DAY DUE TO
BE SUCCESS
Judge For National Dairy Show
To Tie Ribbons

BE SUCCESS
Judge For National Dairy Show
To Tie Ribbons
The Guernsey Field Day for Har-
ford, Baltimore and Cecil County
cattle to be held on Friday, August
18th, at Mr.. GLADDEN. Davis Geneva
Farm" near Rocks is expected to
be one of the finest events of the
kind held in the East during 1910.
For sometime this has been recog-
nized as one of the best small parish
shows held by Guernsey breeders
anywhere, and the measure of its
success is best illustrated by this
biting the twelfth consecutive year
for the show.
The fact that Mr.. Guy Harmon,
manager at Blakeford F a m s.,
Queenstown, Md, has consented to
serve as Judge is expected to be a
big drawing card. Mr.. Harmon has
long been recognized as an expert
judge, and some months ago had the
distinction of being selected to
judge Guernseys at the great Ma
tional Dairy Show to be held in
| Harrisburg. Pa, next October. 1t
should be real education for any
mon make his placings.
In order to encourage small farm
erzbreeders, $3.50 from state fair
funds will be paid each animal
shown, with the Limitation that no
exhibitor can receive more than
$3.50. To particularly promote the
breed in Hartford County, Brooke's
Cross Farm has offered $25 in cash
for the best two-year-old heifers
bred and shown by countians. This
money will be split three ways, and
is expected to draw some really
pleasing two-year-olds from Hartford
herds.
To meet growing demands, new
classes have been provided this year
for three-year-old cows and two
year-old bulls. Previously these en-
tries have completed at a disadvan-
tage against older animals.
AS has been the custom since the
show was organized, attractive sill
yer trophies will be given the win
ners in each GLASS, in addition to the
usual ribbons. Donors of trophies
this year are: p. G. Turner, Brooke's
Cross Farm, Wheeler Boyce, Brook
hardwood Farm, c. c. Spencer, John
D. Worthington, Coolbranch Farm,
Mt Ararat Farm, T. Harold Brown,
William Price, DR.. w. e. Gallon,
Miss Anna Carrere and the Mary
land Guernsey Club.
In connection with the show, Mr..
Lotus NIL. Merryman, nationally
known Guernsey salesman, will
auction off three bull calves which
have been donated by GLADDEN. Davis,
c. C. Spencer and Brooklandwood
Farm to help finance the show. Sew
eral heifers from various farms will
also be sold.
All entries must be in the hands
of County Agent H. M. Carroll by
Monday, August 18th, in order that
suitable catalogue may be pre-
pared
In the interests of health animals
from accredited herds must be Bangs
tested 60 days prior to the show,
while those from other herds must
have had a clean test within 80 days
of showing.
Judging of young bulls will be-
gin about 10 a. m, and from then
on something will be scheduled con-
stantly except during the lunch hour
A greatly improved road will make
it easier than ever to reach the
beautiful grove where the show is
always held, so mark Friday. Aug.
ust 18th. down on your calendar and
don't fail to attend.
