NAL friend to whom ne had eX-
pressed himself, was visited by sev-
eral distinguished gentlemen with
close White House connections and
scared into state where he confessed
he did not dare confirm the staten ent.
Later, M. Hopkins went before a
Senate committee and repeated his de-
NAL under oath. No one ever had any
real doubt that Mr. Hopkins had made
the remark. His friends used to say
and still do-that Harry had to deny
t; there was nothing else he could
do" Mr.. Hopkins himself was quite
cynical about both the remark and
the denials. Certainly, it was signifi-
cant that after his denials the re-
mark continued to be generally al
iributed to him as though he had
made no denial at all A good many
millions will remember that remark
long after everything else about Mr..
Hopkins has been forgotten. His
lasting fame" will rest more upon it
than upon anything else. 1t seems
strange that not one Of his many Gu
logists has seen fit to mention it.

Lists Of names were recommended
and submitted by Parent-Teacher
associations in each community, and
members were selected by the Board
of Education. the county superinten-
dent of schools, and the County Com
missioners. The Oakland High com
mittee has been at work for some
time.
The law did not require the appoint
ment of committee for installing the
sanitary equipment in the Swanton
school building, designating such work
should be directed by the school board,
superintendent and the county COM
missioners.
The act provides for sums not to eX-
coed the following amounts to be used
for sanitary equipment, additions to
school buildings and new school build
ings:
Swanton (sanitary equipment S.
goo; Friendsville, $4,000; Grantsville
$4,000; Bloomington, $4,000; Acct
dent, $4,000; Kitzmiller, $4,000
Oakland High, 100000.
To provide these amounts it was
stipulated that $4,000 be levied eacI
year for six years, which would ac
tually provide $219000. A total OF
$4,000 also was provided in the coun
ty levies of 1914 and 1915.
Estimates from a number of indi.
duals place the construction of an AIDE
quate new building for Oakland High
school at from 100000 to 100000.

Do all dairymen, regardless of
where they live, have the same prob
lem? | would say, "Yes." Danymen
wherever they may be are interested
in securing the greatest net income
from their dairy business. 1t is true
that every dairyman may go about
his accomplishments in a different
manner; however, there is one must
for AN efficient damyman. He must
know his dairy business, Knowing his
dairy business is a pretty big order
for any farmer; and even if he knows
the cost Of production Of milk for
each individual cow and is not able
to put into practice a good, sound
management program, he will still
be an efficient dairyman.
Let US consider the data collected
on approximately 5000 Maryland
COWS on Dairy Herd Improvement
Association tests in 1943 and 1914.
Cows producing $50 pounds butterfat
consumed one hundred fourteen dol
lars worth Of feed, giving, a net
profit of $31.00 or cost of 76c per
pound of butterfat. Cows producing
200 pounds butterfat cosumed one
hundred twenty-nine dollars worth
of feed, giving a net profit of $500
and cost Csc to produce a pound of
buttelfat. Cows producing $50 pounds
butterfat consumed one hundred
thirty-six dollars worth Of feed, Civ
ing a net profit Of $1,000 or cost of
54c per pound butterfat. The 300
pound butterfat COW consumed one
hundred forty Eight dollars worth Of
feed, had a net profit of $155.00,
costing 400 to produce pound of
butterfat. A cow producing $50
pounds butterfat consumed one hun
bred fifty dollars worth of feed, gave
a net profit Of $4,000, the cost of a
pound Of butterfat being Abe. Cows
producing 400 pounds butterfat con-
sumed one hundred fifty-four dollars
worth Of feed, gave a net profit Of
$4,000; the cost Of a pound Of but
terfat was $50, A COW producing 450
pounds butterfat consumed enc hun
bred eighty-two dollars worth of
feed, had a net profit Of $4,000, and
butterfat cost 40c per pound.
The above records show the higher
producing COWS are much more eff
ficient. Compare the return Of the
cows producing $50 and 400 pounds
butterfat. The 250-pound cow had a
feed cost of $4,000 as against $154
for the 400-pound COW. The 400
pound COW gave net profit above
feed cost of $4,000 as against the
250-pound cow and only $50 from the
400-pound COW.
There are several herds in the
county now producing over 400
