Mass Meeting to be Held In
The Interest Of Trolley
Railway Line.

Believing that installing trolley rail-
way for freight and passenger service
between Princess Anne and Sinepuxent
bay via Snow Hill will be of much ben
eft, both to the people along and near
the route and Snow Hill, we. the under
signed citizens, cordially invite all citi-
zens within three miles on each side of
the proposed route from Public Landing
to Snow Hill, and within three miles of
the proposed route via Corbin, two miles
South of Corbin to assemble at the
Opera House, Thursday, September 81,
at 3'p. M, in Snow Hill. to hear Mr.. j..
w. West discuss the benefits of such a
road, the cost, ways and means for
building the same, cost of maintaining
the road and approximate income an
nually.

JOHN w. STATION,
WILLIAM F. JOHNSON.
c. l.. VINCENT,
anu OtittIo.
Mr.. West gives the following reason
for the faith within him:
First-A trolley railway equipped
ready for service, costs less per mile than
what is commonly called Estate Stone
Roads,"
Second-That trolley lines are paying
in sections in other States where they
have about one-halt the advantages pre-
scented on the Eastern Shore.
Third-That trolley lines enhance the
value of farms along the route from 80
to 100 per cent. That such lines more
than double the population along the
line within four years.
Fourth-That farmers sons and daugh-
tiers along the line will have High School
advantages in our county seats.
Fifth-That Public Landing can be
made great water resort when con-
nected with trolley road.
Sixth-That the road will bring toma-
toes to canning factories, potatoes,
strawberries, melons, cord wood, logs.
lumber, mine props, ETC., to shipping
points, thus opening up great section
far from the railroad.
Seventh That ten thousand dollars
will establish ten factories along the
line including a creamery, cheese facto-
ry, ice cream plant, broom factory,
shuck mattress factory, excelsior plant,
pickle plant, and other enterprises Civ
ing the farmer market and business
for the railway, while ice, fish, bread,
and fresh meats may be delivered daily
by local car. with stops for every mile,
to those along the line.
The road will develop the country, in
vite enterprises and pay. A test has
been made for two miles to ascertain
whether enough stock can be subscribed
to build. The land owners were listed
three miles ON each size OF the proposed
route for two miles in length which gave
a test six miles wide and two miles in
length. Three thousand dollars above
cost of two miles could have been raised,
if necessary. Stock not to be paid up
until road is ready for service. Sub
scriptions on paper mot legally binding)
to be taken first to ascertain if enough
stock can be raised.
Attend the massmeeting, and hear all
the details. j. w. WEST.

The time has come for revision.
All men admit it, save the preying
few, but all men may not get what
they want.
1t is idle to deny the difficulty of
the problem.
1t is idle to deny that the tariff
has degenerated into local ques-
ton. The tariff that suits Florida
does not suit Minnesota. The tariff
that delights New York is hated by
Montana. Now who shall arbitrate?
If the tariff commission can only
do its work so we'll as to take the
question out Of politics and put it on
some scientific basis we shall breathe
again and the Wandering Jew may
lie down to pleasant dreams.
Is this too much to hope for?
Well, then face it with gloomy per-
tinacity and watch we'll what man
ner of men you send to congress.
Too much of the peoples time has
been wasted on this question. We
want less discussion and more action

realized that Democratic success
would net the P. R. something less
than nothing.
So watch congress. It has plenty
of time ahead Of it and a nice warm
summer spent in the sheltering arms
Of the heated capitol hath its charms.
George Author Of the Minneapolis
Tribune has apparently the same
notion others have with reference to
Rockne in the Third. On this mat
ter he observes:
State Senator A. j. Rockne has
been in Minneapolis. He went away
without saying whether he would be
a candidate for congress in the Third
or not. Mr.. Rockne appears to
think there is plenty of time to get
basy if it should dawn upon him
that getting busy is an excellent
program. He is disposed to plough
along in the middle Of the road, but
whether he has established the exact
geographical center with the same
precision with which Sam Gordon
has determined it, does not appear.
Mr.. Rockne processes to believe this
is critical time. not only in the
history Of the party, but Of the en-
tire country and is credited with
doubling the wisdom Of EXPLOSIVES

BUY A COW

The creamery business in Red
wood county is declsively on the
gain.
Keep the good work up. 1t can't
gain too much.
Abas the man with the wheat idea.
Wheat is fine in its place. But its
place isn't on every acre of Red
wood county land.
Let there be more cattle.
Cattle make you independent.
You can laugh at the weather man.
Of course your laugh may cut your
profits but when raising wheat un-
der adverse weather conditions
who can laugh?
Therefore buy COW. Buy two
cows if you can. Keep on buying
In the end you can look the whole
W orld in the face and owe not any
man.
The honest and Industrious cows
of this county in 1910 cleared up
a matter Of $230.989.36 on their
product to the creameries.
This is only a part of the story.
Not a pound of dairy butter is
counted in this. How much the
dairy business amounted to no one
knows. That it was considerable
seems reasonable to suppose.
| At the present price of butter
and eggs an active COW and an ener-
getic hen will come mighty near
keeping the average family.
Just as a suggestion. Try it anc
see.
Go out and buy COW. Then grail
down hen and let the weathermar
do his worst.

ANSWER

ANSWER
The warmth Of life is quenched with bitter frost;
Upon the lonely road child limps by,
Skirting the frozen pools; our way is lost;
Our hearts sink utterly.
But from the snow-patched moorland chill and
drear,
Lifting our eyes beyond the spired height,
With white-fire lips apart the dawn breathes
clear
It's soundless hymn of light
Out of the vast the voice of One replies
Whose words are clouds and stars and night
and day,
When for the light the anguished spirit cries
Deep in its house of clay
