Wealth From The Berry

One Maryland county when sand; out
rs an example and an inspiration 10
other Maryland counties is Caroline.
Twenty years ago Caroline was regarded
as one OF the backward counties OF the
Eastern Shore far behind Ken, Queen
Anncs and Talbot the three counties
that used to be pointed to by Eas I'm
Shoremen when they were enreavoring to
prove that the Peninsula between the
Chesapeake and Delaware Bays is the
original Garden Of Eden. But, when the
l"lo census figures were announced, it
was found that Caroline had matched
Talbot in population ana far outclassel
either Queens or Kent. And later, when
the new State assessment was conplet
ed, it was revealed that the taxable basis
Of Caroline was larger than any one of
the three show counties. The taxable
basis Of Caroline has just about doubled
during the past tel years.
And ii is the blushing strawberry 10
which the rapid rise in prosperity of
Caroline is mainly to be attrIDued. In
growing Strawberries Caroline probably
outranks Anne Arundel. Berries from
this Eastern shore county are now NOV
ing to Philadelphia, New York and Bos-
ton by trainloads. And not only so, but
millions OF cans of this fruit viii be put
in the Canneries of the county. The Ar
mours, of Chicago, have established a
siX-acre plant at Ridgely, which, during
the present strawb 'rry Sc. son, will lem
pioy 1000 people, In addition, there are
five or six other canneries in the town
which employ each from 80 to $40 Deo-

Putnam patriot., 1912-06-07

The orator of the day, Major John Mckinley, of New London, was intro duced by Mrs. Leach. Unfortunately, Major Mckinley was obliged to leave early and cut short speech that was highly patriotic and of the kind that produces much enthusiasm. He said that it was especially fitting that a monument should be erected in Put nam, where the earliest settlers who broke away from the massachusetts, colony were heroes, as have been the generations that have followed them. We should be no less patriotic in this century than those who have gone be- fore, he said. This monument stan ds or patriotism, and always will stand for it. Socialism, anarchy and all that list of red devils will in the end be de- feated if we stand by our patriotism.
 Bertha NJ. Lounsbury of Branford, department president of the w. k. C., was the next speaker. After congrat- uating the city on having such fine
  that she was glad to be present repre- senting the loyal women of the w. k. C., who are doing all in their power to inculcate the principles of liberty and patriotism. In closing her address, she said: "if the women did not win the war, they did all in their power to help the men win it." Her tribute to the soldiers and sailors of the war was a beautiful one.
 The D. A. k. glee club then sang gro Thee, Oh Country"
 The last speaker was Commander Oscar Conan of A. G. Warner post. Tn closing he said: Bye and bye the soldier will be gone, but this monu- ment will stand, and future genera tions will know what it is here for and when they read the inscription upon it they will know by whom it was erect ed.p
 The benediction was by Rev. John Van den Noort, pastor of St. Mary's church.
 The Sons of Veterans were well rep. resented at the exercises, members from Danielson, Webster and North Grosvenordale joining with the mem- befs of the local camp in paying trib- ute to the honored dead. They also took an important part in the exercises of the day, acting as official escort for i the c. A. R., and being in charge of the Memorial services at East Putnam and Putnam Heights cemetery. Al | East Putnam the services were con- ducted by Rev. George D. stanley Of i the Methodist church and Rev.Charles ]. Hartman of St. Philips church. Al the Putnam Heights cemetery the ad-

have in a measure demonstrated to these ladies that their efforts were ap- preciated. It was great day for them and their praises were sung by each speaker in turn.
 In opening the exercises, Com rade Joseph Nick achnie, past commander of A. G. Warner post, sounded the key note of the depth of gratitude that is felt for the women of the w. R. C., when he said in introducing Mrs. Leach: "It is wholly and completely fitting that these exercises should be exclusively in their charge.' MT. Me Kachnie traced the history of building the fund from small beginning and told how the noble women of the corps had worked in season and out of sea- son to achieve the triumph now theirs. "And,n concluded the speaker in in- troducing Mrs. Leach, "a large share of the honor and credit is due to Mrs. Leach, president of the w. K. CD
 Mrs. Leach's address was brief and excellent welcome of all to the public service that was to follow and con- tained stirring tribute to the men in whose honor the monument had been erected, and who by their patriotism had made possible united country and an enjoyment of the great bless ings that we trace to the cause. The invocation was pronounced oy Rev. Frank D. Sargent, pastor of the Second Congregational church.
 The address of presentation by whlch the handsome monument was given 10 the city of Putnam was by Mrs.Leaeh, who said that it was to be forever and forever A memorial to the soldiers and sailors of Putnam and vicinity who fought in the Civil war, and remina- ar that this great natlon is not forget ful of the deeds they performed.

 peries being released by Elizabeth ,. i Howell. Emily Tourtellotte, May hui-
 Ter. and Frank Gleason, and falling gracefully from about the attractive
 nile of granite surmounted by bronze l figure of Civil war soldier, standing

 The inscription is on bronze plate, above which is, in bronze, the insignia of the G. A. K.
 The first view of the monument brought forth & lusty cheer from the hundreds who witnessed the unveiling and patriotic airs were played by the American Band, which furn ished mu- sic during the ceremony.
 Mayor Archibald Macdonald accept ed the monument on behalf of the city, saying, "It falls to my lot as mayor, and also by special request, to accept, in behalf of the city and town, this beautiful monument. You we'll know that talking Is not in my line, but I am proud to stand before you on this occasion and perform this duty. The completion of this monument is the result of long and hard work, prinei- | pally done by the ladies, and in it's completion due largely to the efforts of one lady whom you all know. 1 am | sure that 1t will be source of perpetu- al pride to the citizens eftthis eommu, nifty. It will stimulate patriotism, and while giving te the soldiers of that great war for the preservation of the union their just tribute, will serve to deepen the patriotism of the present and future generations, so that should the occasion ngain arise the same loy- atty and devotion to the cause will again be manifested. Soldiers, may 1 you keep ever before you the great principles for which you and your comrades fought Citizens, Jet us with profound gratitude ever remember the valor by which ,..th rough hardship and suffering, this heritage was preserved.
 The flag which the corps also pre- sented to the city was raised by a guard of honor, and as 1t tloate but from the stall the band played "Rally round ithe flag The presentation was made by Mrs. Leach, and 1t was accepted by Mayor Macdonald, who said: al accept with profound pleas- ure the gift of this beautiful flag, the emblem of our common country. To my knowledge this Is the first flag ever owned by the city. We shall cherish 1t not only as your gift, but as representing those stirring scenes when the future of the country was at stake and when brave men baptized 1t with the warm currents of their life blood, and which in commemoration of their brave deeds this monument Is to be dedicated"
 The dedication with ritualistic cere- monies by the w. k. c. was finely conducted by the officers of the corps.

Memorial Dav

It would take more than threatening skies, an occasional shower, and fine drizzling rain to dampen the ardor of the citizens of Putnam, and especially the men who fought to preserve the Union, and those nearest and dearest to them, on such an occasion as lthe unveiling of Soldiers monument. Although all might have wished for bright skies and warm sunshine as better fitted to so solemn, though joy ous, ceremony. But as this could not be, il was not allowed to mar the interesting program in observance of the day and event.
 All as arranged was carried out to the letter, and Jupiter Pluvius with. held his showers at times when bare headed men and women were doing reverence to the soldier dead.
 The streets early filled with people, and many followed the procession to the cemeteries where abundance of
Putnam patriot., 1912-06-07

flowers and new flags were laid upon the graves of those for whom final taps had sounded.
 The interest of the day eentered in the unveiling of the new soldiers mon- ument at the junction of Grove and Ring streets, and long before the cere- monies began the streets in the vtcini- ty, lawns, and piazzas, were crowded with people.
 At half-past two the procession re- turned from Grove street cemetery and halted at the yelled monument. The Woman's Relief Corps was in charge of the ceremonies. It is to this band of patriotic workers, Mrs. Lillie E. Leach, chairman, that the city at last has the memorial to her soldier end sailor dead, that has so long been desired. It has been a labor of love on the part of this woman's organization {, but 1t has been no less a labor, and has been trying and self sacrificing one. But the culmination of their work and plans witnessed and applauded by hundreds of their fellow citizens, must
