TO ASK FARMERS
TO INCREASE
FARM PRODUCE
National Campaign Explained to
ga Committeeman Who Must
Contact Every Farmer
In County

In order to learn of the national
campaign to increase production of
food so that the details can be ex-
planned to every farmer in the terri
tory, a meeting of all county and
community ga committeeman was
held last Friday in the office of John
H. Carter, county agent. The meet
ing was called by P. F. Breuninger,
chairman of the county under the U.
S. D. A. defense board. Also attending
were representatives of the Farm
Security administration, the Exten-
sion service, the County Farm Bureau
and the Grange.
The program to be followed was
outlined by E. |. Oswald, assistant d.
rector of extension, University of
Maryland; Simon T. Downey, state
chairman of the AAA program; j.
w. Coddington, Bureau of Agriculture
Economics, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture and secretary of the State
Defense Board; n R. Quisenberry, of
the Farm Security; and w. C. Aist,
field representative of the AAA, Col
lege Park.
A canvass of all farmers in the
county is to be made by the AAA
committeeman during the next two
months. Farmers are to be asked to
produce more turkeys, chickens, pork,
eggs, milk, butter, tomatoes, better
quality beef, etc, for defense work
ers and the people of nations at war
against aggressors, it was explained.
There are 2,275 farms listed in Gar
rett county.
1t was cited also that a vast re-
serve supply of food rich in nutrition
values must be created as it will be
needed after the war is ended
There is nothing compulsory on the
program, it was stressed. Farmers
will be asked to increase their produc-
tion and to cooperate in the program,
but their decision rests entirely with
them. 1t is entirely voluntary.

sible during the next few days.
The immensely of the campaign is
realized by the amount of paper used
in producing the circulars. 1t required
more than two tons of paper to pro-
duce the more than 10000 eight-page
bills More than $4,000 of these were
mailed through the Oakland post
office, and the remainder were dis

AHunting Tale
OF Two Bucks
With Locked Horns

Three hunters brought in a tale
this week of two large bucks which
they came across in the woods with
locked horns and one of the bucks
dead from the struggle.
Since three of the hunters vouch
for the experience, it can be taken
for granted that it is no ordinary
"fish story"
Marvin Harrison, Charles and
Bert Browning, of Thayerville, were
hunting Saturday on thousand
acres" on the east side of Deep
Greek Lake, and south of Glendale
bridge.
Their dog became excited about
something and returned to the hunt
ers and consequently led them to a
place in the brush that had the ap-
pearance of quite a struggle within
a diameter of about 100 feet. Within
the brush the hunters found the two
bucks with horns locked, and at sight
of the men one deer dragged his en-
forced companion along the ground
for fifty feet before becoming ex-
hausted. The hunters then prepared
to pry them apart and with a mighty
jerk the one broke loose and bounded
away. The remaining one, it was dis
covered, had been dead about five
days.
Both bucks were eight pointers
and would tip the scales at $50
pounds each, according to the hunt
ers.

that no one cares enough to

it seems that stage decorating is

those little services any more.
Thanks to the Trainees for giving
our eyes those restful views of the

be around our churches at Christ

they will not fall in line with other
lazy people who do not give any
thing of themselves to make pro-

selves out to them to get some

donation for a price. Nothing will
ruin a decent city quicker than
that practice. 1t is unadulterated
hijacking and racketeering and
has no place in an American city.
I have learned another thing in
the last two years-that every po-
lice officer is not a crook and a
CRATER. In fact, I believe that
there is about the same percent
age of crooks in the Police De-
partment that there are in most
any othr business, or profession,
and most of those who might fall
within that classification are there
because some good citizen first
made him the offer to get out of or
into a jam. Most police officers
are just as honest as most busin-
es men, and If given the same OPP
pOrtunities would react in about
the same way.

Transit i.

. The Seattle Transit System in
its disseminating the one hour
transfers which could be used for
return trips, has shown itself to
be reactionary body and more in
terested in showing profit than
in giving service. Now, with the
additional revenue gained from de-
priving patrons of a unique priv
ilege, they are paying higher sal
aries to the bus drivers. They keep
the locations of the transfer points
a secret & tell you that the trans
fer is no good when you get on
somewhere else. Perhaps, they
can't afford the ink necessary to
print the transfer points on the
transfer or else they like to be
mysterious.
Another evil that is creeping
upon this city is parking meters.
Now, they want to install mach
ines which will prevent legal park
ink unless the person drops a nick
ell into a slot-no gum comes out
either. Between the two, the Tran
sit system and the parking meters,
a bicycle is probably more practic-
al. }w

vice the public is needing most in
the office of Mayor.
Norton is the only candidate in
the Mayoralty campaign this
spring who has fourteen years of
practical experience in city govern
mental duties and activities. His
record has been one of service to
every man. woman and child in
our city. Having served in the min
istry for more then 6 years before
entering the service of the city,
Norton is well known for his ac-
tivities in Child Welfare and char
liable work. He is not the crusad-
er type, but pledges himself to
fearlessly enforce the laws of the
city so that every citizen may rea-
lie a clean and wholesome city for
their home.
For more than a year Norton
worked in the parks, playfields and
from first-hand knowledge he
knows the needs for betterments
and greater protection for Seattle
children, realizing that the child of
today is the man or woman of to-
morrow. Norton has always
fought for protection against the
things that cause juvenile delin-
quency and will continue his fight
for the children of Seattle after he
is mayor.
Norton advocated police train
ing for many years, having organ
lied and headed the same for many
years.
Practical experience and prac-
teal knowledge is something that
calls for years of hard work and
training. The City of Seattle is the
largest business corporation in the
State of Washington. Still there
have been times in the past that
the voters of our ely havey elected

unqualified and incapable repre-
sentatives to head this corporation.
Fourteen candidates are now seek
ing the position of Mayor in the
election; some very fine gentlemen
qualified and experienced along
some lines.
But the voters of Seattle must
visualize a greater Seattle now
facing better times than in many
years past. Can we afford to gam
BILE with men who wish to exper-
iment with our city government?
Or will the voter select man who
has worked hard and received the
required training to qualify him
to represent the city intelligently,
fairly and impartially?
VIM. l.. Norton has a provn rec
ord of efficiency; he has a record
of fair dealing with his fellowmen
and the ability to serve all of the
people of his city.
