Terigue was killed in his sleep when wind from an open window ex- tingulshed the gaslight under a water heater in his room. BOY, 16, WEDS GIRL, 18.

Rufus Rain, as I stood sadly cussing beside my busted wain; “it doesn’t make things bet- ter to swear by donnerwetter—the smiler and forgetter is truly safe and sane. A bearing or a journal succumbs to constant wear, but still,” remarked the colonel, “it is no use to swear; so cheerily get busy, and fix this ancient Lizzie, and use no lan- guage dizzy, and do not tear your hair.” I knelt upon a thistle to ply my two-ton jack, and bravely tried to whistle while grease ran down my back; and with no further show- ing of words profanely flowing I got the old bus going and jolting down the track. That eve I found the col- onel inside his cattle shed; he raised a row infernal, and sultry words he said; a cow supremely gifted with prize ring science lifted a cloven foot and shifted the whole top of his head. “Of course,” I said, “it's rot- ten to stop a fierce left swing, but let it be forgotten, and let us dance and sing; it won’t reduce the swell- ing to stand around here yelling, your tale of anguish telling—it won’t relieve the sting.” The colonel, in his dudgeon, cussed on, in many styles, he seized a large elm blud- peon and chased me seven miles. When some old cow has licked me, and xpmled my hat and kicked me,” he cried, “you can’t afflict me with optimistic smiles.” (Copyright) WALT MASON. 00K We bake enamel in any desired color o hardware, furniture, hospital equip -« ment, etc. See us first!

FUEL OIL ORDERS RECEIVED MARYLAND’S YULE TREE BILL IS PUT AT $38,000 State Forester Estimates 50,000 ‘Were Used—Little Vandalism Reported. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 30.— The number of young pines in Maryland was lessened by approximately 50,000 due to the Christmas season, accord- ing to State Forester F. W. Besley, who estimates the total value at ap- proximately $38,000. Few cases of “Christmas-tree van- dalism” have been reported:to the state forestry department this year. Investigations are being made by tree owners and the state department to institute legal proceedings where van- dalism was reported. There apparently was a great de- crease this Christmas in the number of persons who thoughtlessly muti- lated and destroyed trees without au- lhlo';‘lly from the owners, Mr. Besley said. FIVE-YEAR FARMING PROGRAM OUTLINED Virginia Advisory Council Com- pletes Study of Plans to Boost Industry. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., December 30.— More economical methods of produc tion, better methods of marketing, th production of more home supplies and the fitting of production to consump- tion are the four outstanding recom- mendations in the Virginia agricul- tural advisory council’s five-year pro- gram for the development of Virginia agriculture, made public here today by the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce. The program is the re- sult of continuous work since August, 1922, by representatives of 34 co-op- erating farm organizations. The report shows the gross income of Virginia farmers in 1923 to have been $187,000,000. Three State-wide surveys and one State-wide county survey are recommended by the com- mittees. These recommendations in- clude a soil survey of the entire State. The committee on dairying ur- gently points out the need of a sur- vey of milk and milk products by the State Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural College. The present condition of the or- chard Industry is made the subject for a third survey, urged at once. A recommendation calling for an assessment of one cent a barrel on all fruit inspected, for purposes of advertising, are made. Forest Conservation Urged. Some of the other more important recommendations are the close co- operation with and support of the State Forestry Department in the development of State and private forests; the formation of a State- wide egg co-operative marketing as- socfation to co-operate with the national association; a State-wide survey by counties of the amount of hay grown to escertain if it is suf- ficient for local needs; the greater production of seed potatoes in the elevated sections; that farms used for corn production of corn yielding less than 20 bushels to the acre be turned to some other use; the en- couragement of co-operative tobacco growers' marketing associations; treme caution in the further expan- sion of cotton raising.

CHURCH HISTORY ENPHASIS URGED Catholic - Historians Declare Records of Past Are Inadequate. By the Associated Press, PHILADELPHIA, December 30. Speaking before the American Catho- lic Historical Association, Dr. John M. Cooper of the faculty of the Catholic Iniversity of America emphasized the necessity of bringing to the fore the primary office of the church. Students who are taught details of history do not remember them after a few months, Dr. Cooper said. “Text books composed largely of such material as that are not much use to the young people who are learning something of the history of the church,” he asserted. “Instead of such useless information, text books should dwell on the success of the church in eliminating sulcides and divorces and many gross supersti- tions. Historians are too hesitant to record the failures of Christianity, such as warfare, for finstance, and the reintroduction of slavery in Amer- ica and Europe. Would Teach Human Side. “We should train the boys and girls of today not to live in a fool's para- dise, but to understand that the church is not a structure in the clouds, nor is its membership drawn from the angelic hosts. Church his- tory that records only the career of the church as an international organ- ized society puts the cart before the hors Others who addressed the meeting were Dr. Hugh Graham of St. Teresa College, Winona, Minn,, and the Rev. Joseph an. The Rev. Francis Betten, chairman of the standing committes on bibli- ography, read a paper in which he de- clared that in many instances Catho- lic students were compelled to refer to works written by non-Catholics for enlightenment on historical matters. The Rev. Peter Guilday, secretary of the ociati the classical ob, ons against Cath- olicism were needed.
