THE OLD MAID.

lnE OLD MAID.
In almost every circle of our kindred
there has been some queen Of self sacri-
flee TO whom a jeweled hand had been
at one time or another been offered
to her in marriage, but who staid
on in the old home place because of the
sense of the filial obligation until the
health was gone and the attractions OF
personal attractions had vanished.
Brutal society may call such a one by a
nickname. God calls her daughter, and
heaven calls her a saint.
We like to sing the praises of the sister
hood who remain unmarried that they
might administer to her aged parents.
The brutal world calls these self sacri-
ficing ones peculiar or angular, but if YOU
had had as many annoyances as thev
have had Xantippo would have been
an angel compared with YOU. Ii is easier
Ia take care of FIVE rollicking, romping
children, than of one childish old man.
Among the best woman are those who
allowed the bloom of life TO pass away
while they were caring for their parents.
While other maidens were sound asleep
they were soaking the old mans feet
or tucking up the covers around an
invalid mother While other maidens
were in the cotllion they were dancing
attendance upon rheumatism and spread
ing plasters for the lame back ofthe septe-
marian. and heating catnip tea for in
somnia
Let the ungrateful world sneer at the
maiden aunt, but God has a throne bur
nshed for her arrival, and on one side
of that throne in heaven there IS a vase
containing two jewels. the one brighter
than the Kohinoor of London Tower.
and the other larger than any diamond
ever found in the districts of Golconda-
the one jewel BY the lapidhry- of the
palace cut with these wards, 'Inasmuch

One may be very happy while away
from home, but he is very glad gem

Hagerstown Fair Managers Not
In Acc ,rd With The Press.

The Hagerstown Fair is not being
boosted by the Hagerstown newspapers
as in former years. Indeed, it isn't being
boosted at all.
The newspapers are running an adver-
tisement in their advertising columns. but
that IS ali. And thereby hangs tale.
In other days the Fair Association made
practice of dividing its job printing
among the newspaper offices Of Hagers-
town. The price was higher than Brock
ton, Mass, and New York printers asked,
but the newspaper offices of HagersIown
are not SO well equipped for doing show
printing as the Brockton and New York
offices 1t costs them more to produce
the goods
The Fair Association reasoned that II
was better to pay little more and have
the work done in the home newspaper
offices because the home newspapers
compensated for their higher price by
giving free newspaper stories about the
fair
This year the Fair Association changed
its policy and Brockton and New York
got the job work.
The contest is now on.
The newspapers propose TO demon
strate the value Of their space and prove
to the Fair Association that its economi-
cal streak was bad business.

More Poultry for the Farms.

No careful observer can fail 10
note the increased interest in poultry
raising in the South during the last
year. Like all other lines OF lie
stock raising. il is especially rece!T-
ing attention in the area being IN
vaded BY the boil weeyil. 1t is sinh
ply astonishing what capacity this
little bus-the boil weevil-has to'
making men think ard even act. Al!
lines OF live stock are receiving more
attention than ever before and pout-
try is coming in for its share OF in
creased attention But. strange Is il
may seem the greater par, OF this in
crease in poultry interest IS among
the people in the towns and 20 a
much less degree among the farmers.
This appears 70 Us wrong. Sure;
there is no place where the opportuc-
tiles for raising strong. healthy poui-
try at minimum OF cost. are so good
as ou. on the farms. Not only IS this
true as regards the production OF
utility poultry-eSSs and birds FOR
food-but il is especially true OF the
production OF fancy poultry and birds
for breeding.
By much care. constant work and
intelligent feeding and management.
good poultry is produced on the small
lots in or near the towns: but i re-
quires more Intelligence and poultry

such conditions than il does 20 ac-
complish the same results on III"
farm. WHY then. Is most OF our best
poultry raised in the small Gowns Or
near the cities?
The range which may be given the
birds on the farm. except perhaps
during the breeding season. IS al
most unlimited and this means 4 "a

and ample exercise. Two things mos;

! THAT the power Of the farmer,
long held in cold sortase. has been

made by President Charles S. Bar

in full:
To the officers and members OF the
Farmers Union: Your national and
state officials who have been work
ing in Washington this winter in be-
half OF the Farmers Union have
found that congress IS growing more
responsive to the demands OF the
American farmer than at any time in
It's history.
That we have not written demands
o: the farmers Union into iegis!a-
ton is due, no, TO lack OF influence.
but to the congestion inevitable with
short session and the demoraliZa-
ton consequent upon pending polit-
!cal changes.
So far as a parcels post IS con-
cerned. I am convinced that that
measure. in national and not ~
raj sense. is nearer than any OF our
mem bers. or than, say. OF the po!iu-
clans. imagine
The lobby against the parcels post
has shot It's bolt. Il has exhausted
It's ammuta,ion. II an extra session
IS called. congress vii! in all prob
ability enact a general parcels post.
II there IS no extra session. the
chances are strong that general
parcels post will be authorized at the
regular session next December.
II you vii: dig up the letters I
published last winter from congress
men. you will find that in nearly
every instance they gave non-ccm-
initial replies 10 The question regard
ing parcels post.
But the situation has changed.
At any moment. you may expect

LOUDLY that they have all a!onS beer
