financial embarrassment. Until the con-
ditions improve so that the people may he
permitted to resume their wonted avoca-
tons. and until the opportunity shall
come again to all to earn competent liveli-
hoods, not dollar should be expended be-
yond that which will fairly and reason
ably maintain the state establishment
i am sure your judgment will approve
the practice of that economy on the part
of the state which we witness on all sides
among her citizens to bring the expenses
within the income.
The increase of population and the
growth and development of our material
and business interests of necessity in
crease the volume of business between
the citizens and the several executive de-
partments. If prompt and adequate
transactions of the business of the state
demands increased clerical assistance, it
should not. in my Judgment. be withheld,
but the only reason for additional cler-
ical force in any department should be
that of necessity.
During recent years in some of the de-
partments the clerical force has been
temporarily increased. but because of no
specific appropriations their compensa-
tion has been paid out of the several funds
created for contingent expenses. My at
tention has been called to several enact
ments by your honorable bodies and other
proposed enactments which create adii-
tional offices. The department OF bank
ing, by your wise legislation, largely en-
larged and adjusted to the proper super
vision of all state financial institutions,
provides its own independent revenue, re-
lieVes the state not only from any addi-
tional cost, but from the former expense
of supporting the department out OF he
treasury.
As to Additional Offices.
As to proposed legislation involving the
creating of additional offices, 1t Is not
my province or purpose to forestal leg
islative action. l may, however express
the opinion that no office bearing sal
airy should be created unless there is alb.
solute necessity therefor.
But, in cases where the necessity does
exist 1t would be false economy. in my
Judgment, to cripple the administrative
efficiency by permitting the payment OF
such necessary help out of funds created
to meet only the contingent requirements
Of the several departments. The rep.
resentatives of the people having in
charge the great interests of the com.
monwealth, legislative, executive, educa.
tional agricultural, manufacturing anl
commercial, should, and l have not doubt
Will, exercise the spirit of economy which
has for its purpose the prudent care OF
every interest within the bounds of the
state.
This true economy can best be observed
by your honorable bodies in such wise
and prudent appropriations of money Il.
will hold the expenses of the government
within her revenues.

A reminder of early banking in Kent
county put in an appearance at the
ChestertOwn National Bank several
days ago. 1t is a matter known only
to few of the oldest citizens of Kent
that in 1910 the little town of Milling
ton was the seat Of an apparently pros
porous banking institution. One Of the
notes Of this old bank for FIVE dollars,
dated 1850, showed up for collection
and was of generally interest. On its
face 1t read; State of Maryland, 8, No.
4,OO4. The Commercial Bank of Mill
ington promises to pay to the bearer
on demand five dollars, January 16,

president. The face of the note was
profusely illustrated, while the reverse
was blank. The bank was operated
by Brooklyn, N. Y, parties, and when
It finally went to the wall caught the

The distressing drowning accident in
Isle of Wight bay, or Assawoman bav.
as it Is sometimes called, happened at
a point 64 miles north of Ocean Citv.
directly opposite the place where it is
being urged to locate life-saving
station. The water is really continu-
alton of Sinepuxent bay. Captain
Dunton, of the Ocean City lifesaving
crew, says that if a lifesaving station
had been there on Saturday last some
if not all of the lives lost might have
been saved. The place of the drown
ing is about midway between the Ocean
City life-saving station and Fenwick
Island station.
The Shakers have made a great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be the
most successful remedy for stomach trouble
ever introduced 1t Immediately relieves
all pain and distress after eating, builds I'D
the feeble system and makes the weak
strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than sO-called tOnics. The Cordial
not only contains food already digested,
but is a digester of other food. Food that
is not digested does more harm than good.
People who use the Cordial insure the di-
gestiOn of what food they eat and in this
way get the benefit of 1t and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
haye sent druggists for free distribution,
contain much interesting information on
the subject of dyspepsia.

WOOL DRESS GOODS

Let us look at the case
fairly. Dress stufs have been
abnOrmally cheap. Makers
are tired of losing money and
orders will not be booked for
goods at prices to interfere
with advances.
We own large quantities of
stufs suitable for early Au-
tumn wear. Three-fourths of
these lots, at a guess, came to
us under even the lowest
market rates. The rest we
can afford to lose money on
and mark them uniformly low.
The opportunity is yours.
To-day's goods are at Fl 6gures
from half to two-thirds the
recent lowest prices. They
will be relatively cheaper
when you compare them with
goods soon to arrive.
