Ask to be Shown

1t is a generally accepted fact that
even after the experience which the
public has passed through during the
past few years in the matter Of life in
surance developments "details are not
necessary that the average man buys
life insurance from an agent instead Of
the company he is selling insurance
for, and takes his word as to the guar
antees, the provisions Of the policy and
the companys record, losing sight Of
the fact that the company is only re-
sponsible to the extent Of the contract
1t issues. I have been making the un-
qualified statement in these columns
for the past nine years that the Mu-
tual Benefit Life Ins. Co., Of Newark, N.
j., had a record for equitable treatment
Of policy holders unapproached by any
company in the world and that 1t is
sued more liberal policies and carried
them at less cost than any other COM
pany I have always been able to
prove this when asked to do so, and
am today Don't you think that before
accepting a policy from any other COM
pany, regardless Of claims Of agents,
it is to your interest to ask to be shown
wherein the Mutual Benefit excells all
others? You are really more interested
than l am, whether you realize 1t or
not. SAM M. GRlST,
Special Agent.

happened to be any voter in this sec

the colonel asked was that they apply

these officers might say. He was per

Business.

MIR. Carnegie, when recently asked
what business really means, said:
"The root of business must always
be service to the community. The
real business man is one who furn-
ishes some commodity that the COM
munity needs" At first thought this
definition of business seems vague
and far from the idea of the average
man.
However,upon reflection the thought
grows and takes on more definite
shape and we gradually realize that
Mr.. Carnegie's definition is very true
one.
Service to a community means de-
mand and demand means business.
The Sykesville National Bank was
founded in 1901, and has been success
full from the very first, and why?
Because it was of service to the COM
munity; there was a demand and 1t
filled that demand.
The directors are naturally proud
of it's statements which are publ1shed
from time to time and they are espec1-
ally proud of the showing made by
their last report. The net earnings
between the two last statements have
averaged $500 per month, the largest
so far in it's history. This means a
6 per cent. dividend and $4,000 to the
surplus account with good balance
left for undivided profits for this year.
Besides this it pays over $4,000 each
year to depositors on savings accounts
and time deposits. 1T serves the bus1-
ness community we'll, it pays its de-
positors handsomely, and the stock
holders have a profitable investment; /;
truly a bank of the people.

A Step at q Time.

A tariff for revenue only such as the
friends of free and fair trading will
fight for till they get 1t, is not pres
ent possibility. But there is possi-
bility of taking a forward step toward
the desired end. The tariff as 1t
stands has become not only shelter
for unbearable plundering monopolies
but also a positive hindrance to the
growth of many manufacturing indus
tries. A large body of manufacturers
will give active assistance in the ef-
fort to so revise the tariff as to make
it protective to the extent of cover
ing the difference between the cost of
production at home and abroad, but
not prohibitive. They do not want
to be put at disadvantage in seeking
foreign markets for their wares by
being compelled to pay duties on
necessary imported material.
In this fight the manufacturers are
making against the stand-patters OF
their party they should have the ac-
tive aid of all friends of tariff reform.
1t is better to take half a loaf than no
bread. Just in proportion as we are
able, after supplying home demand, to
sell our manufactured wares in COM
petitive outside markets we shall
carry conviction of the advantage of
free trading to the mass of the people
suffering from undue exaction under
our present system. asa ea

Make Friends With the Birds.

Our fayorite birds here, and more
are coming. They are spying out the
land where they may build their neat
cottages and set their habitations for
the summer. They should be encour-
aged to stay close to us numerously,
and will do so if you meet them half
way.
By way of instruction to the house
holder. we give the following advice
bv Professor Surface, of our State
Department of Agriculture, to induce
birds to tarry by our doorstep, in our
hedges and the trees of our lawn:
1-Do not shoot them or permit
them to be stoned or frightened.
Erect nesting boxes. In these
ten or more species may nest
3-Prohibit unusual noise around
the premises during the nesting sea-
son, particularly while birds are Sc
lecting sites for nests.
4-Provide nesting material for use
in constructing nests.
5-Put out trays of water and mud
for robins, swallows, etc., to use in
building.
Greet and preserve old posts,
stumps and logs with holes in them.
7-Suppress prowling cats and dogs.
S-Plant a few extra trees and berry
bushes. Give the. birds their share of
fruits to pay for destroying insects.
9-Plant some of the native fruit
bearing shrubs and trees around fen
ces. These may be service berry,
raspberry, blackberry, elderberry, wild
cherry, choke cherry, mulberry, haw,
grape and blackberry.
10-Permit a scheduled corner to
grow up as thicket for shy birds.
11-Feed and water them during
times of scarcity OF food and water,
both in winter and in summer. Give
grain in the straw to quail in winter.
12-Mark the spots where nests are
built in the field and have the farm
ing implements drawn around them
without destroying them.
13-Discourage egg collecting and
needless slaughter OF birds.
14--Discover and check their natural
enemies, which vary with locality.
15-Put band of tin a foot or more
wide, around tree or post containing
nest, to keep climbing enemies from
eggs and young.
16-Discourage the manufacture,
sale and use of air guns, sling shots,
etc.
17-Do not use for ornamentation,
wearing, or otherwise, the feathers or
parts of birds that are killed solely for
that purpose.
1S-Organize societies, such as
chapters of the various State Audubon
Societies, for the study and preserva-
ton of the native birds.
19-Aid in disseminating knowledge
of existing laws, in enforcing them,
and in effecting proper new laws for
the protection of birds.
20-By personal effort promote the
general and specific knowledge of the
value our native birds and the neces-
sity of protecting them.
21-And the growth of public opin-
ion on this subject by advocating the
observation of bird day in all schools,
the introduction of bird studies, and
by other means.

Waste on the Farm.

From authoritative reports by gov
ernment officials it appears that some
2,687O2 cattle die III the United States
annually from disease and exposure
most of them from neglect. From the
same source it is also ascertained that
the loss of sheep from the same causes
is as great.
These figures only serve to show
what wasteful people we are. one
of the excuses the beef trust makes
for high prices of provisions is the
enormous death rate of live stock on
the range and on the farm, most
of it due to pure triflingness of the
herdsmen and the graZier. Indeed,
the losses by neglect and exposure
greatly exceed the losses by disease.
1t would be impossible to estimate the
waste of farm products after they ma
ture in the field; but it is enormous,
some of it due to scarcity of labor,
but most of it traceable to thriftless
husbandry, or, in plain speech, down.
right laziness. One source of waste
is imperfect cultivation, for millions
of farmers persist in half cultivation
of large areas when they would make
more by proper tillage of fewer acres.
Then there is immense waste in the
disregard of intelligent rotation of
crops. This is the worst sort of waste,
for it means devastation of soils that
requires years of provident tillage to
replace. All over the East are aban-
doned farms that would today be gard
ems if they had been given intelligent
cultivation. That farmer is not fit for
his vocation who does not increase the
fertility of his soil every year he culti-
Yates it.
Under the new system of ''dry farm
ing" invented by Mr.. Campbell, some
where out West, 'droughts have been
robbed of most of their terrors; and
if forests that were wantonly Destroy
ed were restored and conserved, the
frightful wastes occasioned by floods,
amounting to $100,000,000 annually in
the Ohio Valley alone, would be
avoided.
This is magnificent country of
| ours, but we have used it like the
prodigal who dissipates his patrimony
in riotous and ruinous living.
The vast wealth we have accumu-
lated was acquired by reason of the
many advantages we enjoy, one of the
principal being the cheap food pro-
duced on the farm. Unless there is
less waste, that cardinal source of
prosperity will soon be thing OF the
past.
