Look Ahead.

1t has been announced that Thomas
A. Edison has perfected his long-prom
ised storage electric battery, and that
1t meets the most sanguine expecta-
tions of it's inventor. In the near fu-
ture, it is promised, revolution will
be accomplished in the application of
physical energy to achieve the ends
of physical endeaver.
If the prediction IS verified, a sin
gle farmland of 1925 will find it an
plant 40 acres of corn from rise to
set Of single days sun, and during
the crop season he will be able to cul-
tivate 200 acres planted to that cereal,
with less draft on his physical consti-
tuition than 10 acres tax him now.
When that day comes, if those roseate
expectations are justified, the hus-
bandman will devote his hillsides to
meadow, and cultivate the level parts
of his farm, after che teachings of
Campbell, and in accord with the idea
of the intensive system.
The mule will become an extinct an
imal and the horse will be bred for
pleasure and for sport only. Farm
life will be delightful A storage
battery in the cellar will provide light
and heat, and in the intense warm
months Of summer it will be put in
requisition to cool the tOrrid atmos-
phere. Hay will be cured within an
hour after the grass is cut by cleo
tricity and stored in the barn ere the
sun goes down that day, a sweeter
and a wholesomer provender for do
meStic live stock.

Modern Improvements on the Farm.

For a number of years 1t has been
almost impossible to rent house In
a city unless the house has what are
usually termed modern improve
ments," but houses In the country
have not kept up with the times and
it is a shame that 1t is so.
There was a time on every farm
that it was most essential to endure
a frugal home, which had few OF the
conveniences known to modern arch1-
lecture. They were necessarily small,
where dining room, parlor, library and
kitchen were incorporated in the
same apartment. These pioneer
homes have been outgroWn in many
instances and more elaborate ones
have been built in their places. But
not enough attention is paid to what
might be termed modern improve
ments and conveniences.
1t is not a question as to whether
such can be afforded. The question
is, Can one afford not to have mod
ern homer" The up-tO-date farmer
needs heat, light, water and commun1-
cation with the rest of the world, ana
such other equipment in home as
the times call for.
The farmer is entitled to the best
of everything is, provided he
farms intelligently and works as hard
as he should. If farmer has not got
up-to-date improvements on his farm
and in his house, it is the result OF
thoughtlessness or bad management.
It costs less in the long run to have
running water in the sink In the
kitchen than to carry it from the well
by hand, and the same general pr1n-
'ciple will hold good in regard to otner
conveniences. 1t is not economy 10
do without such things.

Not What She Expected.

A popular and clever English &C
tress, who is also considered well
above the average in good looks, got
a setback short time ago. Arriving
as was her habit, at the theater con-
siderable time before the rise of the
curtain, she chanced to meet the call
boy.
Good evening, miss
Good evening, Harry" she replied
I'm early, am / not?"
''Yes, MISS said the boy.
.'You see, Harry, it takes long
time for me to make myself beautiful .
The boy looked at her for moment,
then answered grayely:
''Yes, miss, suppose it does"

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, July %, 1909
THE MARYLAND NATIONAL GUARD
ENCAMPMENT.

Our citizens were anxious to have
the encampment Of the National
Guard held at Westminster, and now
that the soldiers have been here since
the 17th, and our people have seen
them in the grim garb of war, they
are more than pleased that this place
was selected for the camp.
We are proud Of the Maryland SOL
der boys and congratulate the Of
ficers upon the splendid discipline
that pervades the ranks Of the mill
tary organization.
The Governor came on Tuesday
evening, spending the night in the
camp, and with his attractive staff,
reviewed the troops on the following
day. This display was everything
that could have been desired, either
from a military or civilian stand
point. An immense throng of our
citizens witnessed the review, and
everybody went away feeling proud
Of our Maryland soldiery, and will
be glad to have them come again to
the beautiful hills of Carroll.
With unanimous consent the Of
f1cers and men expressed themselves
as delighted with the site of the
camp. They were unstinted in their
praises of the beauty and convent
ence of the location, and the excellent
arrangements which had been made
by our citizens for their coming.
1t is conceded by all to be the high
water mark" Of the encampment of
the Maryland National Guard.
AS would be expected from Mary
land soldiers, good order prevailed
in the camp and in the town. 1t has
been a matter of remark, that with
such a number of people, soldiers
and yothers, upon, our streets, the
disturbances have been so few and
so slight. Our people have been able
to see and appreciate, as never be-
fore, the solid strength of this arm
of our state service.
While it is hoped that there will
never be need of our soldiers in
actual warlike service, it makes every
law-abiding citizen feel easier to
know that we have them, in case an
occurs.

Suez Once a Natural Chanel.

There is every reason to believe that
some 5000 years ago, in the time OF
King Solomon, there was an open
channel through Suez, by which the
light draft vessels of the Phoenicians
passed through on their voyages to
Asia and to the gold regions of Oph1r,
which are now known to be in Africa,
and reached from the east coast OF
that continent In the course OF
time the two seas (the Mediterranean
and the Rcd, by action of the waves,
filed up the connecting channel, and
SO it remained until it was opened by
the French under De Lesseps for trafc

Great Pine Line Begun.

A special to the Baltimore Sun from
Grafton, w. Va, July 10, says
1.-The natural gas line to be con-
structed by the Philadelphia company
between the Lost Creek field and Bal
timore was commenced today and the
work will be rushed to completion.
Three hundred laborers were started
to work at Lost Creek, and the num-
ber will be augmented when the work
gets in full swing. The company has
been experiencing much trouble in
securing teams, and has been offering
S6 day for a double team and driver.
This is the highest price ever paid in
the region. The line will be 16-inch
one and one of the most important in
the country. Fifty cars of pipe are
now at Lost Creek.

held on board the yachts STANDARD and

GERMANY ROUSEO
By j. S. PROTEST
Washington's Intervention May
Not Halt Chinese R. R.
Loan.

BERLIN, June 16.-The American
protest at Pekin against the conclu-
sion by the Chinese government of the
loan agreement with German, British
and French banks for s27, 800, 900 for the
construction of the Hankow-Sze-Chuen
Railroad, without having given Amer
lean financiers an opportunity to par
ticipate, has made a stir in diplomatic
circles and among financial houses with
far East interests.
The action of the State Department
is regarded as intended to keep alive
the Chinese-American agreement of
1904, in order that the present loan
shall not be taken as a precedent. 1t
is not supposed Washington seeks a
cancellation of the loan contract.
Chancellor Won Buelow holds that Ger
many and the United States can CO.
operate in China upon a wide interpre-
tatiop of the open door" policy.
1t is held that American participation
in future Chinese railroad loans in CO.
operation with the existing interna-
tional syndicate, must be reserved for
future discussion.

deputy moved that an article be added
to the constitution stipulating that mo

caused great tumult. especially as it

FINAL ARGUMENT
ON CIVIL SERVICE
McGuinness Case Before Court
of Errors on Constitu-
tiOnal Points.
Especial to the Evening Start

TRENTON, June 1.-THE reargument
for appeals sued out by former County
Collector Patrick j. McGuinness and
others, of Essex county, in an effort
to have the civil service law declared
unconstitutional, was started in the
Court of Errors and Appeals today.
The argument was confined to the
points raised by the court some time
ago as to whether the Legislature has
a right to pass a law giving to a State
committee powers over a municipality
without first having submitted the
proposition to the people and after it's
having been accepted by them.
The s%upposition is that the court will
declared that the civil service law is
constitutional in so far as 1t may affect
State employees.
The other question as to the consti-
t~utionality of the act in so far as 1t
affects municipalities seems to be the
point upon which the court is in doubt.
A decision is not looked for for a con-
siderable time.
