pull up the roots and so destroy the
plant. In this way it is said to be
nearly extinct in the State. To pre-
vent this destruction is the design of
the Connecticut law. Massachusetts
is interested in the matter and it is
believed a similar law will be enacted
in that State The Arbutus is one of
the most beautiful and fragrant of all
the American wild flowers and it is
the more highly esteemed because it
is one of the first harbingers of spring
following closely upon the disap-
pearance of the snow. Here in Mary
land it is found in the woodland in
almost every county from the noun
tains to the sea. 1t is eagerly sought
for among the dead leaves in the early
spring and it is to be hoped that those
who love it will see that only the
blossom is pulled and that the roots
are allowed to remain in the ground
to furnish fragrant flowers for another
year BALTIC. Sun.

Raisin Ring to Rule.

Raisin and his gang" will soon be
in the saddle again in Baltimore and
that fair city will be looted, misman-
aged and oppressed for four years.
The debt which was left as legacy
by the Democratic ring will be added
to and the hungry wolves who have
been separated so long from the flesh
pots will gorge themselves, without
regard to the consequences. The
whole fight was the fight of the Dem
ocratic ring, which has made Mary
land politics so notoriously corrupt
in times past and whose shameless
disregard of the peoples interests
piled the debt of the State so high
that it is next to the highest in the
United States. Fair Baltimore groans
at the prospect while the ghouls of
the ring come sneaking, lantern jawed,
famished and yellow eyed from their
retreats to feed once more on the pub
lie and to fatten again at the peoples

The fairest estimate of the cost of
our war undertakings on land and sea
is obtained by comparison of the
outlay for the army and navy for the
year preceding the outbreak of hos
tilities with the expenditure for the
year following. This shows an ex-
cess of expenses for the army in the
past year of $193, All sos, and an excess
for the navy of $52, ,5S6, ,2S0-a total of
$246, 1927, ,S95. If the $20,000,000 paid
for the Philippine Island be added
the net cost up to the end of April
amounted to $266, ,685. Expendi-
ture in the Philippines will largely
increase the amount, but how much
the shrewdest guessing would fail to
disclose.

Anxious for the FRAY.

The Baltimore american, of Friday,
in speaking of the approaching guber-
material election says that the Repub-
licans are impatient that the State
central committee be called together
as early as possible and the arrange
ments perfected for placing the can
didates for governor, comptroller,
attorney general, Legislature and
other officers ia the field, so that they
can repair the breaks made in the
line by the recent election.
The american further says
Governor Lloyd Lowndes is the
only announced candidate for govern
orship ON the Republican side, and
this announcement has been made by
his friends rather than by himself. 1t
is assumed in political circles, how
ever, that he will be an active candi-
date. The friends OF Mavor MaIster
have warm spot in their heart for
the governor because of the activity
displayed by himself and his friends
in the recent campaign and for the
earnestness with which he urged Mr.

dent man would have employed
Jacob after he had left his uncle
Laban. Place no encumbrance on
your farm in the way of a mortgage
if you can possibly avoid it. Better
own fifty acres unencumbered with
twenty-five acres highly cultivated,
than one hundred acres over which

fifty per cent. more than it would
bring to-day. and the blanket, "

benefits OF comforts if not luXuries.
Remember that the winter of con-
sumption must follow the summer of
production.
The necessities of our climate are
the spurs to enterprise, hence the
people of temperate climates are
active, energetic and progressive as
contrasted with those of the torrid
zones where nature is bountiful. pro-
ducing necessarily from January to
December thus inducing Incidence
and Indifference as to the future.
Let every farmer then in Garrett
county turn his attention to the grow
ing of larger crops of food products
and thus hasten the time when we
will see the wagons loaded with grain
vending their way to our mills
throughout the county and returning
to their homes with their supply of
flour, bran, chop and such other nee
essaries for home use as the surplus
will procure from the merchant. Let
us see flour, corn, oats and rye being
shipped away. Then and not until
then, will prosperity dawn upon us.
If our people we're struggling with a
a soil and climate. the adverse con-
ditions of which precluded the posi-
sibilities we have enumerated, we
would not so strongly urge these
matters upon our farmers, but with
all conditions so greatly favoring an
agricultural community we deem it a
duty as county paper to keep before
those most interested the great lead
ing facts inseparably connected with
their vocation, and thus perhaps give
a proper trend to their industrial
efforts.

WHAT MGrylander can read the
statement of Maryland finances in
another column without feeling proud
of their excellent condition? The
handsome additions made to State
property, the enlarged expenditures
for educational purposes, coupled
with the fact that the State debt has
been somewhat reduced, and that
there has been a splendid Offset to
much of the debt in the sinking fund
this is an evidence of creditable
management for which the Republi-
can State administration deserves a
vote of confidence"

\ Fine Showing,

The record of the First Maryland
Regiment in the matter of applica-
tions for pensions is most gratifying
and quite in keeping with all that
would be expected from the sturdy
sons who have descended from the
famous men who composed the
famous Maryland line over 100 years
ago. Only twenty applications for
invalid pensions have been filed and
only five for dependent pension.
When compared with the flood of
applications that have rolled in from
other regiments this showing is most
remarkable. The First Maryland was
the country regiment, composed OF
boys who have grown up in the Hills
and green fields of Maryland, sturdy,
lusty and fearless. The hardships of
the campaign instead OF weakening
has strengthened them, and the 1900
who went into the army about one
year ago are now back at their homes
and avocatiOns, filter and stronger
than before they left. Not only has
Maryland a right to be proud OF the
record that this regiment has made,
but the Fifth regiment also has made
fine showing. These men were eX-

Political OntInnk.

The KenSingtOn Press speaks with
no uncertain sound regarding the
outlook in Maryland from political
standpoint, and its words are words
| of wisdom and encouragement.
while the result OF the election in
Baltimore Tuesday is by no means
satisfactory says the sprightly little
Montgomery county paper, lit does
not at all follow that the democrats
will carry this state at the November
election. The republican nominees,
rather than the party were defeated
in Baltimore, and the party every
where throughout the state will rally
at the polls next fail with vote that
will be invincible Mr.. Masters de-
feat is largely due to the blunders of
| his managers, some of whom did not
bear high reputation among the
people.
"Republicanism is stronger in Ma
ryland to-day than it was three years
ago when Governor Lowndes was
elected the Press claims. ut is
stronger than it was two years ago
when the state gave Mr.. Mckinley
1000 majority. 1t is stronger than
it was one year ago when Colonel
| George a. Pearre received the largest
majority ever given any candidate for
| Congress in this district and when
Montgomery county for the first time
lined up in the republican column.
The prosperity and the confidence i'll
commercial circles which has extern
ded all over the country and through
out this state are represented by a
successful administration at Wash
ington and Annapolis.
"Our people understand this well
enough, and, however they may vote
in strictly municipal elections, a vast
majority are still with the republican
party"
With party unity in prospect none
need fear the issue of the day.

A Pretty wedding Near Hoyes.

One Of the prettiest weddings that
has been in our neighborhood for
quite awhile was that of Miss Grace
Dewitt, one of our esteemed young
ladies, to Mr.. Clark Pope, of Dunbar,
Pa. The ceremony was performed
at the home of the bride on Wednes-
day evening, May 3rd. This being
one of the most beautiful months of
the year, added still more to the
attraction of the home where every
thing was tastefully arranged. Quite
a number of the brides relatives and
friends-about forty in all-were pres
ent, and all enjoyed themselves in the
highest degree. At seven o'clock the
happy couple descended the stairway
and were pronounced man and wife
by the Rev. Hennen. The bride was

trimmed with cream silk lace and
ribbon with bouquets of orange bios

Miss Alice Custer were the attend
ants and were also handsomely at

the guests were invited to the dining
room where the table was spread with
all the dainties heart could wish, to
which all did ample justice. AS a
token of honor and esteem each guest
brought. handsome and useful pres
ents of silver or chinaware, etc. Last
of all was the merry band OF serena
ders, who always come on these occa-
sions. After blowing horns, ringing
bells, etc, they called for the bride
and groom to whom the boys all eX-
tended congratulations. Afterward
the serenaders were treated to supper
and the groom presented them with
| a sum of money which they divided
| and went home wishing for wedding
every day.
The bride and groom took their
| departure on Friday for Dunbar, Pa,
