Example Of RepsbIlcaalsa.

There is big sugar factory at
Longmont, IA miles north of
Boulder. Sometime since a
Boulder citizen, desiring to buy
some sugar, inquired of a local
merchant the price. Not liking
to be held up, he sent to Kansas
City, purchased ten sacks. paid
local freight back to Boulder, get
ting the sugar laid down in his
home so cents cheaper than the
Boulder merchant could sell it to
him. You can imagine his sur
prise when upon examining the
imprint on the sacks, he found
that the sugar had been made at
Longmont. Republican policies
make such unfair conditions as
this possible. Shall we continue
them another four yearsf Well
we guess not.-Glenwood Ava.

SOCIAL WAR AT NEWPORT.
Vanderbilt Divorce Splits the Colony
Into Factions.

NEWPORT. r. l., July "a Newport
social war. due to friends of Alfred Van
derbilt and his former wife, Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt. taking sides as re-
suit of the divorce has been started. and
a big split in their large circle Of friends
has resulted.
Some take Mrs. Vanderbilt's side of the
case, and others lean to Mr.. Vanderbilt.
There Will be an interesting rivelry be-
tween the two sets during the summer
here and during the winter in New York.
On the occasion of the charity bazaar
at Mr.. Vanderbilt's farm at Portsmouth,
for st. Mary's Church, prominent wom-
an In the cottage colony found her name
among those present. She forthwith
sought the reporter who had used her
name in connection with the affair and
gave him to understand that she was not
present. and did not expect ever to set
her foot on the farm again. She wished
the reporter to be careful in using her
name further In connection with anything
Alfred Vanderbilt held there or any place
else.
Other social matters in connection with
the farm and Mr.. Vanderbilt are being
discussed in the clubs and in the cottage
colony. 1t became generally known yes
terday that Mrs. Vanderbilt is to give a
concert on the lawn of her Newport resi-
dence, which was given her recently by
Mrs. F. o. French. Mrs. Vanderbilt s
mother, for the benefit of st. Mary's
Church, in Portsmouth, and a set of
bronze doors. for the same church. has
been presented by Mr.. Vanderbilt who
last year gave the church $4,000 as an
endowment.
. AS a result of the recent fete at the
Vanderbilt farm for ST. Mary's Church
something like $1,000 was taken in ad-
missions and sales, but there is nearly
$1,000 in expenses to be met. which Mr.
Vanderbilt may assume the responsibility
only $500.

sion held in Baltimore, as follows: Be-
ginning at the Charles county line near
Mattawoman and running to Clinton.
to Camp Springs. to Silver Hill, to the
District of Columbia line. Camp Springs
to Upper Marlboro, to the Anne Arundel
county line at Harden Beginning at the

more to La Plata Chief Engineer Crosby
reported that he is ready to begin work
on the roads in st. Mary and Calvert
counties. The surveys will be made with
in the next two weeks and specifications
prepared for awarding the contracts.
The recent rains In Prince George coun-
ty have not materially benefited crops
that are well advanced. This is especial
injured by the prolonged drought. The
late sugar corn. most of which was plant
ed Just prior to the rains, will receive
the benefit of the showers. The worst
sufferers from the drought are the plant
ers of small gardens. the crops in which
were practically destroyed before the
rains came. The early potato crop has
suffered materially.
