CORMAN AT
..- CAMPMEETINC
Makes a Splendid Address on
Topics Of Religious
Character

Senator Arthur p. German, Jr., who
is candidate for the Democratic nom-
ination for Governor attended Meth
odist Campmetting at Hebron, Wicomico
County, the latter part of last week.
Mr.. German was called upon unexpect-
edly to address the people. In part this
is what he said:
"Some of my earliest recollections arc
of campmeeting to which my grand
mother used to take me as boy, and
the impressions which received there
and the inspiration which was given me
have remained with me all my life and
have been of incalculable value to me in
private and public life and will always
be so.
"You gather here to hear the word of
God explained to you by ministers who
teach us laymen the right Interpretation
of Divine Scripture and show US the right
path. These little children whom I see
before me can mingle with each other
here at camp and enjoy with childish in
nocence their juvenile romps, but at the
same time they are gaining impressions
which will last them all through life.
IL am great believer in the great
power Of the home and the unceasing
efforts which all of US should make to
have there an environment which shall
truly follow the teachings of our Divine
Lord. The home is the foundation of the
nation; without it parties would crum-
BILE and the federation of States itself
go to pieces; but with the true spirit in
the family, with the word of God as the
inspiration of each fireplace, no one need
worry about this country.
"Out of good homes come good citi-
zens, and the fruit of good citizens Is
great and prosperous country. But
back of the home is the spirit which is
the ruling passion of the world-the
great mother-love. am filled always
with profound sense of alteration Of
the loving mother who guided my foot
steps as babe, who watched over me
as boy. who advised me and prayed for
me as man.
'Ts there any of US here who has not
such a memory? Who of US can say
that it has not fashioned our lives and
that the best that is in us found its
spring in the hearts of our dear moth
ers? AS time goes on the love of our
wives supplements that of our mother,
and the womanly influence continues all
through life."

Give Skin to Friend.

In order to assist their unfortunate
friend, Charles Godfrey. about dozen
young men of Elkton, visited Union
Hopital and each submitted to having
about two inches of skin taken from his
arm, which was grated to the arm of
Godfrey. Several months ago while
young Godfrey was at work in the fiber
mills at Newark. DEL, his arm was
caught in the calendar rollers, which
tore nearly all the flesh from the men,
ber. For some time the physicians at
the local hospital feared that the arm
would have to be amputated. DIR. w. ID.
Cawley, who is Godfrey's special physi-
clan. is now of the opinion that the in
jured arm will get entirely well in course
of time.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

Will Study Poultry at Columbi

Will Study Poultry at Columbia.
Beginning September /, 1911,
the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture and Experiment Station
is to have a regularly organized
poultry department. The pur-
pose of the new department is
to investigate the various diseases
and pests that effect farm fowls,
to study the relative utility of
different breeds of poultry for
various localities of the state,
to experiment with the problem
of feeding poultry for breeding
purposes and for market, be-
sides giving regular courses Of
instruction in. poultry husbandry
to students.
The Federal Experiment Sta
ton at Columbia with its well
equipped demonstration rooms
and laboratories offers exception
al advantages for carrying on
the proposed line of work. The
new three story Veterinary build
ing now nearing completion will
supply unusual facilities for the
investigation of poultry diseases
and methods Of combating them.
More over, all the work of in
vestigation and experimentation
will be carried on where hun
dredS of students and thousands
OF farmers can come in direct
contact with it and learn the
lessons of successful poultry
growing at first hand.
So while the new Poultry De-
partment will find at Columbia
a home already largely equipped
and fitted to its needs, every one
Of the four hundred and more
students, every one of the ten
to fifteen hundred farmers who
come to Columbia during Ear
mers' Week." every visitor to
the University of Missouri, will
find there an Agricultural Col,
lege and Experiment Station fit
ly representing and caring for
the great and growing poultry
interests Of Missouri.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS
BRIGHT.

Prospects for the election of
a Democratic president have
never been brighter" declares
Hon. James I. Lloyd of Miss
ouri, chairman Of the National
Democratic Congressional com
mittee, who was in charge of the
campaign which resulted in the
present heavy Democratic ma
Jority in the House. "The Dem
Ocratic party is popular from one
end of the country to the other
acause the present House has
carried out prediction promises,
and made a creditable showing
in every way" continued Mr.
Lloyd. The many inveStiga-
tons conducted by Democratic
committees have shown to the
satisfaction of every intelligent
man in the country that the Re-
publicans are guilty of mal-ad-
ministration, and should be re
lieved of power"
"The President has raised an
issue which will rage with un-
abated fury until the close of
the polls in November 1912"
When Speaker Champ Clark
threw down this challenge in
what is now regarded as one of
the most brilliant and militant
speeches of his entire career,
it meant not only that the Dem
Ocratic fight for lower cost of
living was to- be one to a finish,
but that Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, who started life as a poor
barefoot country boy blowing
corn on a rocky hillside in Ken
lucky, had entered on the last
leg of a journey to the White
House. And to the ears of
Cark'N friends in the crowded
chamber the din of applause al
80 sounded sweet, for to them
