of them, is certainly worthy of our
hearty support. We have only to remem-
Der that "the farmer feeds us all" to be
convinced that this is the most important
occupation OF mankind, as well as one Of
the most honorable. We are all, Ut course,
aware that in point of value, the corn crop
OF our country is by far the most valuable
Of all our products OF the soil; in fact, it
is more than probable that no one crop
ever produced in the world ever equaled
that OF the last corn crop Of this country.
have lately been in correspondence
with y. II. Benson, OF the boys demon
strstion work, of Washington, and / find
that the department will mail to each club
member all the literature that will be
needed to carry on the work.
We think that Minneapolis has one OF
the most progressive experimental agricul-
tural stations to be found anywhere, and
in recent years the experts there have
succeeded in breeding a variety OF dent
corn that natures very early, and it ripens
readily in northern Minneapolis, and lis
good yielder. 1t seems to me that it would
be equally as satisfactory in Maine, as the
climate is quite similar. Our farmers
have lately received many orders for this
corn for seed, some from PARKWAY Oregon
and one order went to distant Russia.
] sincerely hope that this matter will be
taken up at once and that the boys in
every school district in your city will be
enlisted in the work. 1t will certainly
give me great pleasure to be one of those
who may contribute to the fund that will
for the winners.
1t we'll known fact that no other plant
cultivated by mankind produces, acre per
acre, SO large an amount OF food, suited to
man and beast, as does corn, and it is not
only in prose that words of praise are said
Of it, for we all remember Whittier's beau
tiful poem, 1.-THE Huskers' Song" and also
that little gem by Edna Dean Proctor,
which says:
"The rose may bloom for England
The lily for France unfold;
Ireland may honor her shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield Of the great republic.
The glory OF the West,
Shall bear stalk Of tassled corn
OF all our wealth the best.
The arbutus and the goldenrod
The heart Of the North may cheer
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters may rear,
The jasmine and magnolia
The crest Of the South adorn,
But the wide republics emblem
IL our bounteous golden corn"

He Knew His Mother.


The late William James, Harvard
famous psychologist, would often illum-
mate misty subject with an appropriate
anecdote.
Discussing motherhood in . lecture
on psychology, Prof. James once said:
A teacher asked q boy this question in
fractions:
Suppose your mother baked an apple
pie and there were seven Of you-the par
ents and i've children. What part Of the
pie would you get for your portion.
IA sixth, ma'am," the boy answered.
"But there are seven Of you," the
teacher said. "Don't you know anything
about fractions?"
"Yes, ma'sm," said the boy. ~ know
all about fractions, but know AL about
mother, too. Mother'd say abe didn't
want no pie"

Committee i'm Carroll county, has not
in recent years been taking e active
q part in the registration OF election
as III should. In some districts all
the work, for some reason, has been
assumed or done by one or two In
diyiduals. In others there has not
been concerted action. Such q con-
dition was wrong and did not tend to
Democratic success.
NOW l. the time for members OF the
Committee to cast aside any chagrin
they may have felt in the past from
any cause whatsoever. They should
all assemble animated with true
and fearless Democratic spirit. They
should exercise the right intrusted to
them BY the voters and decide for
themselves what u proper and best
for party success Above all things
they must be true Democrats.
Unhealthy dissension or selfish
strife should be avoided; an honest
discussion of all questions raised
should be encouraged. 1t is only by
the interchange Of views and a fair
consideration thereof that the best
will be adopted, and II j. the best
thought OF those elected by the voters
that the Democratic party in Carroll
is entitled, not only 10 receive, but

THE CALL TO ARMS.

a wise move is that made by DR..
Thomas y. Coonan, IL calling the
Democratic County Central Com
mittee together He is its ranking
officer, and therefore the proper per
sen to issue the call, as it deals with
County and not State Offices, as does
the State Central Committee. Tn
vieW III IT, coming primaries it is
mot only q wise, but the only thing to
do.
The various County Central Com
mittees are the closest body OF men
10 the voters III the State. Its MEM
beers are the men who are next to the
people ia their respective districts,
and have to De depended upon to
gauge public sentiment and get out
the vote. Although, owing to being
large in numbers they do not exercise
County influence i'm State matters, az
does the State Central Committee, yet,
it is the most important organization

PARKS.

No town, that does not wish to be
called q village, should be without a
park or playground for the amuse-
ment and recreation OF their citizens.
The hustling, growing and energetic
town OF Hagerstewn, appreciates this
fact, and is preparing to spend dollars
in the acquisition OF many acres Of
land for this purpose.
This should be an object lesson to
Westminster ana stir It up to the &C
QUESTION of land properly located for
the same purpose. Although it has
at present so-called-park, IL is limit
ID in its size, being not large enough
for the boys and girls to play upon;
neither is it of such extent as to en-
able the tired and weary to rest in it.
Westminster can not afford as large
park as Hagerstown, but it should
have a play ground for its growing
population, centrally located. Owing
to the configuration OF the town there
Is no ground available for this pur-
pose, unless il would be the land
back of the Advocate Office, containing
about ~ acres, and owned by Messrs.
II. Peyton Gorsuch, Charles f. Good
win and George w. Albaugh.
a few years ago several citizens OF
the town offered TO buy this
property but their offer was refused.
II, or another property, advantage
ously situated should, however, be
owned BY the public for the good OF
the community and the health OF our
children. mn
So while Hagerstown is getting
park, why should not Westminster
follow this example Let Us get to
gether and acquire ground for q park
and play ground.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Our country has been much dis
turbed and puzzled by the mobiliza-
ion of American troops, 10000 strong,
near the border OF Mexico.
This movement, SO far as the peo-
pie OF the country were concerned,
was a surprise. Nothing that had
previously occurred gave intimation
OF IL, and the country was puzzled 70
know what IL meant.
The FIRST explanation BY the govern
ment of the matter was that thetroops
were gathered in Texas for army ma
neuYers. The presence Of this army
Immediately upon the Mexican from
tier, taken III conjunction with the
fact that there had been for the past
year or two and is now, revolution
airy movement in Mexico, and that It
was uncertain whether President
Diaz was able TO cope with It, led to
the suspicion that the "army maneu-
We explanation did not explain
And subsequent events have shown
that this suspicion was well founded.
The real purpose of our govern
ment seems to have been the thwart-
ing Of the revolution, and the main
tenance of the Diaz government.
This was to D. accomplished, first,
by protecting the Mexican border and
preventing the Insurgents from re-
ceiving from our side, arms and mu-
nitfons of war. I'm other words to
stop flibustering from our country.
And then second, IL necessary to
invade Mexican soil, for the protec-
ton OF American interests, and those
of other nations who look to this
country for protection OF their inter
ests, made necessary By US under the
Monroe doctrine.
There appeared TO De no unfriendly
feeling between this country and
Mexico. and the theory advanced BY
some, that our country was intending
70 annex Mexico, was not the case.
President Taft has definitely stated
that our country had no such inten-
ton, and there is certainly no reason
why it should be SO. We have now
about as much territory as we can
well manage, and any attempt at e
pansion would only multiply our re
sponsibilities. We believe the whole
incident will close without the she'd
ding Of American blood, and that the
turbulent Mexicans will become paci-
fed BY concessions which will be
made In notifications IA the govern
ment of the country.
The Dlaz cabinet mas already re-
signed and he will I'm all probability
resign as president. The normal eff
feet OF this procedure upon the part
OF our government, has, we think,
been wholesome. both upon the Mexi-
can government, and upon the Insur-
gents. and upon Japan, who has been
quietly seeking to obtain foothold
