Rouqh and tumble

Jim Wolf Will tell you that
law enforcement in Charleston
was a rough-and-tumble affair,
but effective. Listen.
Jim Burnett WAS our Justice
81 the peace, and he backed up
his authority with two big six
shooters. Not only did he admin
ister the law, but he'd go out
and make his own arrests and
hold trial right on the sidewalk,
with the prisoner covered by
the two big guns, and collect the
fine right there.
~ remember one time that a
couple of state or county audi
tors rolled into Jim's office and
said they had come 10 audit his
books and see what had become
OF the fine moneys.
Jim hauled out his guns and
laid 'em on the desk and then,
in his soft voice, said:
Self-Sustainin'
Gentlemen, COchise County
pays me nothin' an i pay Co
chIse County nothin'. This Il
self-suxtainin' office and I've
never seen any need for keepin'
books. Good mornin'. gentle
men Jim was lingering his
two guns in a kind of sugges-
tive manner, 30 the auditors de-
parted"
Charleston was on the old
road between Fort Bowie and
Fort Huachuca, and there was
so much fighting along that strip
Of highway that it came to be
known as The Fighting Trail"
Listen 10 Jim Wolf:

dition in Union Hospital, Elkton,

To many people in the county,
the name Rural Women's Short
Course means only a phrase heard,
or seen occasionally in the papers.
To another group--the farm women,
the rural women themselves who
have had the privilege of knowing
at first hand what it is, it means an
open door to opportunities for learn
ing, a promise of wider horizons of
thought and vision, memory OF
happy, busy hours spent with hun
dreds of other like-minded women
in common effort of learning and
listening. The 1941 Short Course"
was an experience that few who
shared it will forget. Forty women
from Cecil County went to College

was for moi recreation. Along with
this release, however, came wild
ening knowledge from the classes
which often opened up new lines of
thought, or pent-up ideas. Many of
the instructors, indeed, found, from
the very practical discussions, that
they had things to learn, as well as
to teach. Among the possible sub
jects for class study were: Nutrition
and foods, home furnishings, cloth
ing, home management, family liv-
ing, landscape gardening, poultry
raising, recreation, Public speaking,
parliamentary law, better English,
music appreciation, leadership de-
velopment, All Club work.
To many other women, the as
sembly periods were the high lights
of each day. Each assembly from
1912 A. M. and from "a P. M.
opened with Is minutes of lively
singing under the leadership of the
music director, Mr.. Harlan Randall.

Motor Vehicle Law
Enforcement
Accident Provoking Driv'
ers Must Be Penalized

The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission is studying with interest
results of the rigid enforcement of
motor vehicle laws over the three
day Fourth of July holiday.
For the first time in the history of
motoring in Maryland, at the sug-
gestion of the Traffic Safety Com
mission, violators of rules and regu-
lations which are commonly listed as
the cause of the greater number of
accidents, were warned in advance
that they would be subject to the re-
vocation of drivers licenses.
With the steadily rising death
rate i'm the State from traffic acct
dents, despite continued pleas for
courtesy and caution in driving
made by the Commission since its
establishment by Governor Herbert
R. O'Conor in 1899, the members of
the Commission feel that the time
for leniency is past, and that care
less, accident-provoking drivers
must be driven from the roads If
law-abiding motorists are to be
protected from injury and death.

Campaign Against
Ragweed In State
Drive Sponsored BY Gar.
den Club Women

A drive against ragweed has be-
gun in this state, sponsored by the
Federated Garden Women of Mary
land. Ragweed pollen is the chief
cause Of hay fever which yearly
strikes 100000 persons in this
country.
The Department of Agriculture
advises that ragweed should be cut
twice each year, first just before the
flowers form and again before flow
ers develop on the low-growing
branches that shoot out after the
first cutting. In this vicinity big
ragweed begins Towering about Au-
gust /, and common ragweed two
weeks later. If the cutting down Is
delayed until the flower buds form,
pollen will ripen on the severed
plants and get into the atmosphere
in spite of the cutting. Cut down
ragweed as soon as 1t is recognized.
Now is the time.
The Department of Agriculture
urges especially the cutting down of
ragweed along highways and in gar
dens, in fields and stubble lands.
Ragweed infested pastures should
be moved just before the weed be-
gins to flower, with the cutter bar
of the moving machine raised SO
that the ragweed is cut to 10 in
ches from the ground. Later in the
season second cutting may be
necessary, with the cutter bar set
close to the ground in order to
cut the low growing branches that
have developed since the first cut
ting. Statistics ON the amount of
water required to grow ragweed
demonstrate it to be great con-
sumner of water. Ragweed is a soil
thief. 1t is said that one ragweed
plant in 100 square feet of soil will
remove more than twice an inch of
rainfall.
The Adirondacks and the North
ern Peninsula of Michigan have
for years put on concerted efforts to
destroy ragweed everywhere within
their boundaries. They have sue
ceeded. And the Island of Nantucket
is now attempting the same control.
Freedom from ragweed and its pol
len which induces hay fever have
made these communities the mecca
of hay fever victims, and brought
thousands of dollars into their state.

declared "45, 100000 people are not

They are literally digging their

Flames Wreck Yacht

The yacht, maria" owned by p.
E. Williams, superintendent of the
Elkton Gas Company, which he
bought at Rock Hall, Md, some
months ago, and later greatly inn
proved, was practically wrecked by
fire one night last week while tied
up to the wharf in Big Elk Creek,
in the rear of the plant of the Elk
ton Supply Company.
The origin of the fire is mystery
as it is understood that there was
no gasoline abroad the raft at the
time. 1t is believed that some one
who was in or near the craft threw
lighted cigarette or cigar on the
craft and that it landed in some in
fiammable material.
The Elkton Fire Department ex-
tinguished the flames. The loss is
estimated at about $500.
