The Sentinel Makes
A Costly Omission

In a story in a recent issue
of THE SENTINEL about the
Rockville Postoffice being ad-
vanced to first class, a list of
the employees was given. Two
men very important to THE
SENTINEL were omitted by some
mischance.
Besides the postmaster his
assistant, the various clerks and
carriers the postoffice has two
men officially called "cus-
todians" who handle the incom-
ing papers, they are: Mack H.
Carlisle and Marion L. Chap
man of Rockville. Both have
a nice sense of humor for they
say cts alright about leaving
us out Of your story-we just
expect twice as large a tip in
the future" OF course they
are joking-we hope.

Continuous Rains
Damage Grains
And Other Crops
Anderson Finds Compensa-
lions In Heavy Hay And
Lush Pastures

Heavy rains and frequent cloud
bursts during the past ten days
to two weeks have caused consider
able damage of crops and property
in Maryland.
Estimates of the damage to
Montgomery Co. farmers wheat
crop vary up from twenty-five per
cent. The extended period of rains
and damp weather has caused
much of the wheat standing in
shocks tossprout to the point where
the fresh green is visible from
roads. Even the wheat still stand
ing awaiting the combine has be-
gun sprouting on the stalk. Damage
to the uncut wheat was estimated
to be less than the shocked crop a
week ago but since much of the
O. w. Anderson, County Agent,
said that approximately one-fourth
of the wheat of Montgomery
County had been saved before the
extended wet spell. OF the remain
ing three-fourths about one-third
is unfit for market which means
that the total loss in the county
will be about twenty-five per cent.
Mr.. Anderson added that this loss
will, Of course, be increased should
the wet spell last much longer.
An estimate of the county's bar
ley crop indicates that probably
one-half of the 10000 acres was
saved. before the rains. Crops on
the remaining 5000 acres are dam
aged to probably fifty per cent.
Threshing got under way again on
Wednesday.
The Farmers Cooperative in
HowaFs County has made arrange
ments TO assist wheat growers in
conditioning andf marketing the
damaged grain Loss in Howard
7Cpun$y has been estimated at a
higher figure than in Montgomery.
According to Mr.. Anderson dam
age from the wet spell will be no.
ticed in many gardens. Tomatoes
are slowed down and there is
extreme danger of potatoes rot
ting in the ground. 1t is, however,
not too late to lok for a good crop
of late potatoes, and late vege-
tables provided we have a favor
able fall.
In summing up Mr.. Anderson
said, Farmers, except those de-
pending largely on wheat, are not
to much hurt. They had good
crop of hay and the corn looks fine.
The lush pastures resulting
from the rainfall have been a boom
to dairy farmers"
Many opinions have been advanc-
ed as the reason for the unusual
rainfall during the month. Some
claim it is the damp shadow of st.
Swithin; some blame it on the lady
who went visiting on st. Swithin's
Dav and took her umbrella along
and according to a correspondent
the most recent claim comes from a
scientist who contends that the
moon is slightly off it's course.

which might prove source of
consolation to those who have
suffered like loss.
OF bitterness there is none
although always felt such an
announcement would embitter
me. With Griffith gone the
ideals of Woodrow Wilson take
ON a greater meaning with me
for in this column during the
past five years the underlying
and paramount thought has been
PEACE. Had we followed the
martyred President Wilson there
could have been no Second World
War with all it's suffering,
anguish, sacrifice and cost. Our.
civilization would have been ad-
vanced instead of on the thresh-
old Of destruction. have al

Now when the greatest trag-

self devoid of all personal hope
of the wars end and denied an
ticipation Of great personal joy
when finally the little Yellow
