patch.
The land was withdrawn by Presi-
dent Taft last year so an examina.
ton could be made by government ex-
perts to determine the volume of coal
deposits throughout the region. A
considerable portion Of the territory
withdrawn by executive order is un-
derlaid by extensive Ignite coal de-
posits, making necessary a reclassi-
fication before it goes permanently
into the hands of settlers.
The surveying party engaged in
classifying the lands embraced in the
withdrawal order is making rapid
progress and is pushing the work to
completion as speedily as possible.
This fact encourages the hope that
it will not be long until the classif-
cation will be completed and the
greater part of the lands will again
be restored to the public domain and
be subject to homestead entry.
This will enable the homesteaders
who make entry of the restored lands
to make Communication (cash) final
proofs without the necessity of sign
ing away their mineral rights, and
the patents ~(titles) issued by the gov
eminent covering these restored lands
will give the homesteaders full title
to the land, without any reservation
as to coal or other mineral, as is the
case in ordinary homestead proofs
where classifications had not previous
ly been made by persons working I'M
der the direction of the United States
geological survey.
The Ignite coal beds in that part
of the state are proving of great bene-
fit to the homesteaders Of the re-
gion. 1t is a prairie region, and the
extensive coal deposits effectually
solves the fuel problem for the home
steaders who have occupied such parts
Of the region as had not been with
uTdWH ny the executive OrQer or laSt
year.
The veins of Ignite coal in many
Of the deposits average in thickness
from five to seven feet and extend
several hundred feet back into the
hills, the exposed portions of the coal
veins usually being in the sides of
gulches, where flood waters have
washed away the faces Of the veins
and exposed them.
Many of the mines are Of so great
an extent that the homesteaders for
many miles around can for years to
come secure their coal supply there
at minimum cost.

WHAT Is CAMPBELL SYSTEM?

The principles of the Campbell sys.
tenn apply to every country, to every
climate, and to every kind of soil. 1t
is a system for the perfect fitting of
the soil for the growth of plants, no
matter what the plant may be, wheth-
er it be wheat, or corn, or cotton, or
peanuts.
The Campbell system Of soil cul-
ture provides for the preparation of
a seed and roo bed containing the
proper amount of both air and water
for the liberation of the greatest
amount of plant food. In the semi.
arid regions and in the irrigated dis
tricts this means the storing of mois-
ture in the soil for the use Of the
plant in time of need. In the humid
regions it often means ditching and
subdrainage, but at all times and
everywhere it means an equalization
of moisture in the soil throughout the
growing year, so that periods of
drouth, that are bound to come, shall
have little or no effect on the crop
yields.
The trinity Of the Campbell system
are the Why, the How, and the When.
There is no guess work about farming
under this system. The farmer who
knows the Campbell system and uses
it, intelligently knows that he will
get a crop when he sows his seed
hail and insects alone excepted.
First, the farmer must know why
he must do certain things. He must
know the scientific principles govern
ing plant life and it's relation to the
soil. If he does OF know this, he is
liable to misinterpret conditions and
make grevious errors. Second, he
must know how to do the necessary
things. He must know what ma.
chinery to use, and how to apply it.
A deep cultivation where a shallow
one Is needed may destroy his crop.
Third, he must know when to do
things. To pillow when the soil is
dry is fatal, to cultivate corn in the
morning when it is half grown may
do more harm than good. the stalk
being brittle. damage may result
from the least contact.

NIGHT WhTGHMAN LOST
LIFE IN FIRE At BOND
Plant Of North Maryland Lumber Co.
Consumed. EntaiIing Loss of 100000

The large and comparatively new mill
of the North MARYLAND lumber Compa-
ny, located at Bond, this county, was
entirely consumed by fire last Friday
morning at an early hour, and the night
Waterman, Albert Mackert, of Cumber-
land, was burned to death, his incinera-
ted remains being found in the boiler
house attached to the mill.
Following the news of the fire Sheriff
Shartzer and Justice Teats accompanied
by State sAttorney j. c. Renninger, went
to Bond at the request of the owners of
the burned plant and held post norton
upon the remains of the Waterman. The
testimony of witnesses tended to show
that Mackert was an epileptic and in ac-
cordance Herewith the jury composed
of Messrs. N. U. Bond, j. w. Lantz,
Stephen G. Ashby, George D. Reckley,
w. E. burst, W. P. Shatfer, W. r.

that the man while under the influence
of spasm, fell and the mill was ignited
from the flames of a torch he carried

The mill and town site at Bond was
purchased about two years ago from

COUNTY REPUBLICAN
TICKET A GOOD ONE
Mr.. Weimer, Candidate for Legislature,
Received Heaviest Vote OF Any
One on Ticket.

The Republican primary election, as
well also as the Democratic, was held
on Tuesday of this week, but the latter
had few candidates to vote for, the
fight centering about members of the
State Central Committee and delegates
to the State Convention With this
fight on among themselves the two fac
tons of the local Democracy bent every
energy to select men favorable to Lee
or German with the result that Lee ad-
hcrents were chosen by a majority Of
less than fifty.
The Republicans, however, had a full
ticket in the field with the exception of
County Surveyor and Clerk to the Cir
cult Court. For the latter position
certificate OF nomination was issued to
Mr.. Z. Z. Tower two weeks ago, hence
his name did not appear on the primary
ballot but it viii be on the ballot at the
general election.
With ten candidates IN the field for
House Of Delegates, the fight naturally
centered about these with the Office of
sheriff a close second. Mr. Z. A.
Weimer, of Oakland, candidate for
House Of Delegates, led the fight and
received the nomination with total
vote OF 772.
The ticket to be voted at the general
election will be as follows, according to
unofficial figures published elsewhere in
this paper to-day, as the Board Of Elec-
ton Supervisors will not meet until late
this afternoon to make a canvass Of the
vote.
For House of Delegates, Samuel
Lawton, John A. Long and Edwin A.
Weimer.

CORNERSTONE LAYING
Impressive Ceremony Conducted by
Members of Local Lodge at
the New Building.

On last Friday afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock the cornerstone of the new
Knights of Pythias Building now being
erected on Third street just opposite

Grand Officers taking part, during
which Grand Chancellor Harry L. Price.
of Baltimore made an appropriate
speech giving some interesting statistics
of the Order Of Knights of Pythlas
Grand Inner Guard G. Semmes Hamill
also gave a short talk saying just the
right things in his usual able manner.
Contractor Bolden expects to haYe
the building completed some time in
November, and Garrett Lodge No. 113
is certainly to be congratulated upon
being able to erect a building which
will not only be credit to themselves
but also to the town and county such as
this will be.
At the regular meeting of Garrett
Lodge on Friday evening Grand Chan
cellor Harry L. Price, Grand Keeper of
Records and Seals Hendricks, Grand
Prelate Shaffer and Grand Inner Guard
G, S. Hamill, Sr, all made very inter
esting talks after which delectable re-
freshments were served and the Lodge
was dismissed with every member feel
ing very enthusiastic over the bright
prospects for the future of Lodge.

Many Officers Seek
Service With Army
On Mexican Frontier

Army officers on leave and those on
detached duty have been delug1ng the
War Department for the last three or
four DAYS with requests for assignment
to duty with the commands which are
to form a part of the so-called ''maneu-
yer division" in Texas ard southern Cal
ifoTnia.
Some of the officers have come to
Washington in person and sought the
influence of their friends in the War
Department with the chief of staff. Re
quests Of this kind are being granted
wherever possible. 1t is not considered
worth while detaching officers from the
service schools, although this may be
done in cases where officers are needed
with their commands.
Later. If the troops are kept in the
field. the officers who are taking post
graduate courses will be ordered to the
scene for instruction. Some of the adj
