KEEP UP THE
MILK FLOW IN
SUMMER DAYS

One way to produce the additional
dairy products that dairy farmers are
being asked to supply is to keep up
the milk flow during the summer sea-
son, according to John A. Conover,
specialist of the University of Mary
land extension service.
Good pasture, Mr.. Conover says, is
the cheapest feed for milk production,
but cows need some grain in addition
to pasture. The dry weather of April
and May, he states, was very hard
on pastures and it will require some
time to bring them back. Ordinarily,
they do not stay good for very long
period and dairymen are advised to
watch their pastures and increase the
grain allowances as they decrease in
yield.
Cows giving IS pounds of 4 percent
milk, if on good pasture, Mr.. Conover
says, will usually need no grain; cows
giving more than that amount should
be fed one pound of grain to six
pounds of milk.
A grain mixture recommended for
feeding in the early part Of the sea-
son contains IL to ID percent of pro-
tein. Later in the season, it should
contain from Is to II per cent Of pro-
tein. These mixtures may be made
largely of homegrown feeds.
BY summer feeding of grains, Mr..
Conover states, the cows will be in
better condition for fall and winter
production.

CARELESS DRIVERS MUST
BE DRIVEN FROM ROADS

Isaac S. George, designated general
chairman of the Maryland State Traf
fic Safety Committee by Gov. O'Con-
or, declares drivers who refuse to
obey simple rules for their own and
others safety will have to be remov-
ed from the road"
"The reports on most accidents"
said George, who also is executive
secretary of the Maryland Council Of
Defense and Resources "show many
drivers have an utter disregard for
law and the commission proposes to
do something about such offenders.
"Fines do not seem to deter this
class of driver and we are confident
we will have to tighten our operators
license law and make revocations in
many more cases than we do now"
Gov. O'Conor named members of
the commission, outgrowth of the
Safety Committee organized by the
Governor in 1889. The commission
was formed under provisions of bill
passed by the last General Assembly
and will serve as a coordinating agen-
cy with public and private agencies
in promotion of traffic safety.

collie MILLER MAKING
GOOD AT BASE BALL

The Honolulu "Star Bulletin, of
Saturday, May 81, contains the fol-
lowing item:
Collie (Big Boy) Miller is the
Packs No. 3 hitter and besides
being the All-Schofield center
fielder last season he was run
ner up to his teammate, Elres
Downden, the Schofield batting
champion. Miller wound up with
a cool 1882.
Cole Miller, one of the best ath-
letes Pocomoke ever produced, is play
ing in what is known as the "Scho-
field League" and his team is known
as the "Wolfpacks."
The "Pack" won the pennant in
1887, and they think they have the
material to come through again this
year. They claim to have seven in
300 class and one of these has 400
average. Coles old fellow team
mates in Pocomoke will be glad to
hear of championship honors going
to his club.

LIQUOR GROSS SALES IN
SOMERSET WE'RE $46,679.72

The two dispensaries of Somerset
County have turned over to the Com
missioners of Somerset County, $780,
1910, and to the cities of Princess
Anne and Crisfield, a combined total
of $6,707.23. This represents the net
profit for the year ending April 80,
1941.
The gross sales were $46,679.72
greater than the previous year, max
ing an increase in profit of $9,219.-
90.
The dispensaries have proven to
be a great source of revenue for the
county and the two cities concerned.
During the year, the Liquor Board
advanced the County Commissioners
thirteen thousand dollars to be used
by the Board of Education. The Com
missioners would have been forced
to borrow this money had it not been
for the dispensaries.
It is understood that the tax rate
can be cut the lowest this year than
it has been since 1896. Last year the
tax rate was $1.53, and it is hoped
that it can be cut to $3.50 for the
coming year. The liquor dispensaries
are largely responsible for this re-
duction. We have been informed by
1.-The County Commissioners that on
" each one thousand dollars turned over
by the Liquor Board means a reduc-
tion of approximately one cent on the
tax rate. Therefore, on receiving
over twenty thousand dollars from
the Liquor Board makes the liquor
dispensaries directly responsible for
the reduction of taxes twenty cents.
Part of the money turned over to
the County will also be used toward
the Welfare Organizations.
The City of Crisfield intends to
use its share of the profits towards
extending the water mains, and to
: ehminate dust from Somerset Ave.
lnue until it is surfaced, and the re-
mainder for general civic improve
ment. Princess Anne's share went
toward liquidating the bonds on the
water works.
It is indeed gratifying to realize
that if liquor is to be consumed that
the profits benefit each and every
citizen regardless if for or against
the liquor set-up, and the money be-
ing spent for civic improvement, edu-
cation, welfare and lowering taxes
proves that the liquor trade is most
profitable business.

of age, in his home at Taylorville,
Worcester County, by colored man
first called Orphan Jones, but after

The consequent arrest and trial of
Lee whose case was removed to CAM
bridge. The conduct of his counsel
Bernard AIDES and the feeling engen-
dered by his method of defense; the
carrying of the case to the higher
court and the final trial held in Tow

It appears that the same Bernard
AIDES who denfended Lee and placed
such a big expense burden on Wor-
cester County and the State, and who
in 1884 was candidate for Governor
on the Communist ticket, is now hold
ing responsible position in the Uni

resentative D'Alesandro, one of Mary

out and is demanding his immediate
discharge from government service.
Representative David j. Ward, of

McCartney's letter.
my Dear Mr.. President:
Attention is called to the 'hrst
oficial United States war poster,
which represents five apelike figures
in German uniform, with grotesque
and bestial faces and wide open
mouths, singing the Horst Vessel
song and the subtitle, o Yeah?'
wonder whose confused and de-
praved mind conceived the picture
and who in the department vas
not on the alert to allow its release
rs this the plan on which We are
to ask our sons to wage the struggle
for the defense Of Christian civiliza-
ton and the principles Of human
dignity about which ne have all
been so eloquent in recent years?
Nothing in Hitler's ministry OF
propaganda Of hate or the Com
munist posters In the anti-God
museum in Moscow is worse than
this. If We can't win this struggle
for light and liberty without ap-
pealing to blind, malignant fears and
hatreds, which have already SO
strewn this world with 50 much sor-
row and deSolation. we might as
we'll ''let them come and take it. "
mo doubt it is just things as these
and the calling Of ugly names across
the waters that have gotten US where
We are. I know that I speak the
sentiment of thousands
Il realize that. involved as YOU
are at present, with so many press
ing concerns, this letter has little
chance Of ever falling under your
attention, but perhaps. through
some channel it may reach effective
sources and, my appeal to you sir
is that orders be Immediately sent
out countermanding and withdraw.

which is an outrageous insult tc
the cause for which We are asked tt

way Of life.
Accept, sir, In all earnestness

Askov High Wins
From Finlayson

The Askov high team had close
call Tuesday evening on its home
floor but finally emerged victorious
over Finlayson 26 to % in a game
marred by numerous fouls and rough
ness. Fifteen personal fouls were
committed by each team and of the
free shots Askov connected for six
points and Finlayson for seven.
In other games the same evening
the Askov second team lost to Fin
layson 10 to and the Askov indie

of 80 to 20 score against Sand

also defeated the Kerrick quint the

a much closer score, 80 to 80.

adopt the following measures: Warn
the public that influenza is spread
from person to person directly in
nose and throat discharges or indi-
rectly, on hands, common eating and
drinking utensils, towels, etc.
The advice is that whenever pos
sible, avoid associating with sick
persons, especially those who show
any upper respiratory symptoms;
avoid crowds anywhere; avoid the
use of common eating and drinking
utensils, towels, etc.; avoid hand
shaking and the exchange of pen
ellis and other articles likely to be
placed in the mouth.
Prompt isolation of all persons
showing any upper respiratory symp-
toms, is also recommended with a
view to protecting the patient from
unnecessary contact with people who
might be carrying the dangerous
pneumonia germs rather than for its
value in the probably futile task of
checking the outbreak ITSELF"
