Sublime to RidIcuLoNA

A slightly tipsy gentleman
walked into the telegraph office,
took a pencil, spent three or four
minutes in deep thought, and
wrote this message to a friend
in st. Louis:
''Tra la, ira la, ira la, ira Ia"
He signed it and presented it to
the lady behind the counter.
After checking it, she said:
''That will be 81 cents"
The gentleman paid her and
she said: "You used only eight
words"
"What would you suggest add
ing?" he finally asked.
"Well, how about just adding

flames Immediately thereafter. At the
home of William Nazelrod nearby
the lightning at the same time also
struck a ladder against a tree, driv-
ing splinters into the tree, and also
entering his home and splintering the

l57 Terminal Pay
Bonds Cashed 1st Day
Two Oakland Banks Pay Out
S31, ,290.94 To Veterans On
Tuesday

Oakland's two banks cashed total
of 157 armed forces leave bonds for
veterans on Tuesday, releasing $751;
290.94 in cash.
There were 102 bonds cashed at
the First National Bank totaling $20,-
72767, and Cecil Smith, cashier, said
90 percent of these received cash.
The bonds ranged anywhere from $50
to 1862, plus interest. There were 55
bonds amounting to $40, 0,56327 cashed
the first day at the Garrett National
Bank.
Bank facilities were exhausted here
to handle the veterans. Both banks
required Identification in one form or
another and all veterans had to ap-
ply in person. No lines formed but
both banks were filled throughout the
day, not only with veterans but with
regular customers who had business
to transact, the banks having been

accumulated by the ex-soldiers and
sailors. They were entitled to 80
days leave year, but in wartime
few got that much. 1t was stipulated
that the bonds could not
be cashed for five years.

Woman Is Hurt;
Three Men Held

Three NindeX men were arrested at
the Western Maryland railway sta
ton in Westernport at 6:30 p. M,
Tuesday and turned over to Garrett
county authorities who said the trio
had gotten into a fight with woman
Saturday night at tavern on the
Vindex road between Oakland and
Kitzmiller.
The woman, identified as Mrs.
Maude Martin, 80, Westernport, is a
patient in Potomac Valley hospital,
Keyser, where she is being treated
for a fractured left shoulder. Her
condition was reported as salts
factory.
Deputy Sheriff Paul W. Fisher
said the trio, Kenneth Boyce, Monzel
Sims and Sheridan Sims, the latter
two brothers, all of NindeX, were ar
rested on warrant charging them
with disorderly conduct. The warrant,
he said, was obtained Sunday by Lee
McRobie, operator of the tavern,
from Magistrate James E. Barrick,
Ktzmiller.
Deputy Fisher said the three men
were waiting at the Westernport sta
tion to board a train for Cumberland
when they were arrested by Chief Of
Police Burza Hanlin, and assistant
chief, Leonard Murphy, Westernport.
Sheriff J. S. Teats, Constable Roy
Sewers and Deputy Fisher brought
the trio to Oakland.

Comfortable Laying
Houses Will Increase
Egg Production

To obtain best results in egg pro-
duction, laying houses must be prop
erly managed and should be designed
to keep hens as comfortable as pos
sible, states DR.. Morley A. JUL, head
of the University Of Maryland Poul-
try Department.
"Given a good flock of layers" Dr.,
JUL added, good management is the
most important factor determining
profits" In house which has a we'll
insulated roof, he explained, the litter
will be kept much cooler in summer
and drier in winter than in one which
is not insulated, and the birds, being
more comfortable, will lay better.
DR.. JUL recommends the "built-up"
litter system as the most satisfactory
method Of maintaining dry litter
and reducing the labor involved in re-
moving the litter. When the pullets
are housed, he explained, about two
inches of dry litter should be placed
in the house and, from time to time,
enough litter should be added to keep
the top layer dry until the litter is
about eight inches deep.
Mash hoppers low enough to enable
the birds to eat while standing on the
floor tends to increase the consump-
ton Of mash and results in better
laying by pullets. The mash should
be stirred each day. AS the level of
egg production increases, more liberal
feeding will be necessary.
Other "tips" which DR.. JUL passes
along to poultrymen: water contain
ers on wire platforms will help keep
the litter dry and prevent the spread
of disease; wire netting under the
roosts will keep the birds out of the
manure, result in fewer eggs being
soiled, and reduce the spread of
disease; culling the flock regularly
will increase the efficiency of egg
production.
