Long after Miley left Greg sat motionless on the side of the sway ing bupnk. Why the crack about the nurse following the repetition of the query about his having been alone on deck? Was 1t accidental or based upon some knowledge?
 Rollins stifened as 6 thought struck him That knowledge could have been obtained only from the man at the rail. Or-he paced the floor = could the man have been Miley himself2
 He shook his head. No, that wouldn't do. If 1t had been Miley, he wouldn't be trying to focus attention on the fact with Rollins who might have seen him. It was an old failing, thought Greg, born of the habit of deliberately sus- pecting "the least likely" char acter in fiction mystery tlarillers.
 Sleep came htfully. The cabin was terribly stuffy. Greg opened weary eyes and looked at the porthole. Regulations prohibited opening 1t during hours of dark ness, but who would know the difference as long as he didn't switch on the cabin lights?
 He stood on his bunk and un- screwed the heavy clamps.
 The cold gust of wind and spray fairly took his breath, but 1t was grand. He inhaled deeply; then prompted by some impulse stuck his head out of the porthole. He couldn't see very far into the night. The waves were noun tainous and black - all except for the water being cut by the ship Itself. Little flashes of light came from the whitecaps. That would be phosphorus.
 Toward the bow, 1t seemed not quite so dark. He could clearly make out the side of the ship all the way to the bow and thrilled at its great strength and tireless- ness as 1t plowed through the night.
 Afterwards, he often wondered what made him look up since 1t forced him to twist his head in a very awkward position, especially with the ship tossing about.
 But there wasn't a doubt in the

The sentry explains he left his post for 8 time because Inc became seasick, and when he came back he stumbled over the body of Tees.

You needn't be so touchy. I've got an investigation job showed on me which you should want to assist. My purpose in asking that question is simply that the sentry on duty saw an officer standing in the shadow of the lifeboat near the murder scene around midnight. I thought you might have seen one of the boys out there when passing with Tees and didn't want to put him on an awkward spot by admitting you left him there."
 Rollins was relieved but man. aged to hide 1t. They chatted on friendly terms for Q while before Miley rose to leave.

AGENT GRANT
SUGGESTS WAY
TO CONTROL ROT
Distinction Recommended Of
ALI Places Where Seed PO-
tatOeS Are Stored

r. T. Grant, agent for Worcester,
suggests the following for the control
of potato bacterial ring rot in the
county:
On farms where ring rot has occur
red, clean out and disinfect all places
where seed potatoes are to be stored.
All dirt and refuse should be either
buried or hauled to the woods and the
walk and floor should be disinfected
by spraying either with Bordeaux
$3.50 or formaldehyde, pint to IL
gallons of water.
Disinfect all old potato bags, bar
rels, baskets, crates or containers by
thoroughly soaking or spraying with
the formaldehyde solution above be-
fore cutting the seed.
Disinfect all potato machinery by
spraying with the formaldehyde solu-
ton above.
For seed for the early crop use
either home grown seed grown as re-
commended, which has been inspected
and has passed all requirements for
certification, or northern or mountain
grown certified seed from growers
recommended by your County Agent
or Specialist in Plant Pathology to
have seed likely to be free from bac-
terial ring rot.
Treat seed before cutting for 80
minutes with 1-1O00 solution Of bi.
chloride Of mercury or dip in organic
mercury (Semesan-bel) or yellow OK
ide of mercury. Dry tubers prompt
ly after treating.
In cutting by hand, first cut a
piece through the stem end. Discard
all tubers that show discoloration. IF
many tubers show discoloration do

schools today. Half-time teachers re-
ceive full pay. Teachers and. princi-
pals, salaries are too high. I fail to
see. why, every superintendent wants
a large school. I believe it is done
to feed his ego. Sometimes he cuts
grades in two thus using up more
classrooms and employs more teach
ers. tn8
A good teacher does not need the
costly useless paraphernalia loaded
upon her ITO help her to teach" It
gets out of mode and the principal
advocates something new and just as
high in price every year. For
teacher to protest is to lose her job.
The new and changing ideas are all
heavy on taxpayers shoulders. If
they were superior to good teaching,
then why do our children still have
the same problems that we used to
have. If new ideas are better, why
has not modern education outwitted
the bore and misery of homework.
There are many classes imposed upon
our children that could very easily be
cancelled from the school curriculum.
We need school economy all over.
Poor management and spending must
stop. A good lawyer hired by the
people to refute the senseless expen-
ditures in education going on at
school meetings certainly would help.

1.-THE following article, clipped
from a recent issue of 1.-THE Rural
New Yorker was sent to the "Dem-
ocrat" by ar-taxpayer of Worcester
County, with the request that 1t be
given space. His request is granted,
and the story is presented to readers
at whatever value they may put upon
it. It is not intended to reveal the
sentiments of the paper.-Ed.]
eve Visit a New School," in one
of the past r. Ny. issues, is typical
of the complaints heard so often in
New York State about schools. There
is however remedy for this awful
situation.
Everyone must go to those always
so poorly attended school meetings.
Don't miss one. Vote "No" with en-
phasis when that glib, smoothtongued
school superintendent from whom all
ideas flow, tries to "put over" a high
ly priced project. If you persist, it
can be done. Prepare speech be-
fore hand. It will carry weight. Vote
"No" loudly at the P. r. A. meetings,
those hotbeds of trouble at which
the suave principal persuades the gull
lible parents that we need an enrich
ed program at your expense when it
isn't necessary at all. Make it your
business to visit the school. If it is
a public building you have a perfect
right to go there.
You will be amazed at the shame
full waste of money in education TO-
day. In one school three nurses are
employed where one alone is needed
In order to get a new building the
superintendent will often create num-
erous and non-essential offices-thus
crowding classes for the visitors in
spection. I noticed a three-roomed
kindergarten to gain this end, three
offices for the school nurse and two
for the superintendent himself. Rural
schools are torn down in order to
force residents TO vote TOT a new
school.
ON school needs an expensive psy-
chologist to test the mentality of our
children. Any teacher can do it. Par
ents need only to buy the test mater
ial to do it themselves. 1t is the
greatest humbug in education today.
A school cafeteria has never yet
paid for it's running cost. Meals are
often charged and never paid for
This place of eating is extremely I'M
sanitary. 1t is the seed of i'll health
spread among our children and should
therefore be abolished.
There are too many teachers in

Or to mark the day and date.
But lives of good men often tell
How we, too, might live so well,
That our good works will follow on
And endless path when we are gone.
We've laid his body, cold away,
In the bosom of the earth;
Where he served his useful day
That dawned with his own birth,
But his soul has taken flight,
Far from the reach of mortal sight;
Away from time and tears and sod,
Into the bosom of his God.

In Mr.. Scher's death, Pocomoke

of a splendid citizen, generous man.

had proved his worth, and left name
honored by all who knew him.
The following poem contributed by

the general citizenship and the all.
round worth of the deceased:
In Memory of Phillip Scher
Some one is missing in our town;
That man with pleasant face;
In vain we look for him around,
For no one takes his place.
Thoughtful of all folks in need,
Whatever the color, race, or creed,
He was surely most happy when
He was proving himself a frien'.
His name was short and easy said
By all who knew him well;
Not "Philip"-just "Phil" instead,
And the reasons we can tell.
He filled a place in our town life
That can't be filled. by men Of strife;
Great love for all, malice for hone,
Pictures we'll this missing one.
Successful in his business, too,
He knew what goods to buy; T"
He sensed the taste of me and you,
Displayed them to the eye. :
Not satisfied with just a sale
"This" he said, els but to fail;
If I can't make friend by that, "a
I'll leave those dresses where they're
att"
Fraternally, he was just the man
Well worthy of his brothers;
Easy to love and understand,
When meeting with the others.
"The good of all" was his motto,
Whether he voted Eyes" or "No";
If he lost, he never pouted,
If he won, he never shouted.
He was son of Abraham
And true to his conviction;
There was no hypocracy or sham,
To spoil his benediction.
Jews and Gentiles all around
Scanned him closely, never found
An attribute so very thin,
We could not love the man within.
But words are idle oftentimes
And fail to carry weight;
Save the proper sound for rhymes
