Gov. Wilson to Speak al Baltimore

Gov. Wilson will speak in Balti-
more in the campaign. Announce
ment of this fact has been made by
Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the
national finance committee. He
stated to w. Cabell Bruce, of the
Wilson Auxiliary, and to National
Committeeman Talbot that the Ma
tional Committee in New York had
included Maryland in the list of
States in which the Democratic
candidate is to speak.
Mr.. Talbot and Senator Smith
are expected to go to New York
Saturday to complete arrangements
fer the trip to this State. 1t is I'M
derstood that Gov. Wilson will
speak in Wilmington in the after
noon, coming on to Baltimore for
night meeting. The date of this raj
ly will not be determined, however,
until the Governor returns from
his present tour of the West.
Gov. Wilson's determination to
speak in Baltimore is due largely
to the insistence of Mr.. Bruce and
State Chairman Vandiver. When Mr..
Bruce made his famous pilgrimage
to Trenton with Mr.. Vandiver and
Daniel ]. Loden, the city chairman,
an invitation was given to the Gov
ernor to address the Democrats of
Baltimore. The Jerseyman at that
time talked SO encouragingly of
the idea that his visitors left under
the impression that he was as near
committed to this program as he
we'll could be without having made
a positive promise.
Then the National Campaign Com
mittee got into the game. 1t was
not at all disposed to include Mary
land in the Governors list of speak
ing places. Mr. Bruce wrote an
insistent letter, receiving prom
Use that the question would be CIV
en- serious consideration. This was
the last heard of it until Mr.. Nor
genthau made his statement, men,
tioning the name of Chairman Nc
Adoo in such way as to give the
impression that he was the au-
thority for the announcement.
While the speaking campaign in
Maryland will necessarily be brief,
it promises to be sufficiently excit-
ing. With Gov. Wilson added to
their galaxy of stars, the Democrats
now have Gov. Harmon, of Ohio;
Oscar Underwood, of Alabama; Ollie
James, of Kentucky, and Senator
Culberson, of Texas, as the coterie
of spellbinders calculated to inter-
est the voters in the result of the
Presidential election. ALI signs
point to an unusual amount of in
difference

BOWdeD.--WheatIeQ.

A very pretty wedding was solem-
nized at Bridgeville, Del, Wednes-
day evening, when Miss Mary E..
Wheatley became the bride of Mr.
B. B. Bowden, a well-to-do farmer
of near Seaford. The ceremony was
performed at the home of the bride
by Rev. J. l.. Johnson, formerly
pastor of East New Market M. E.
Church. Mrs. D. w. Davis,of Den
ton, aunt of the bride, very sweetly
rendered the wedding music The
parlor had been tastefully decorated
for the occasion with ported plants
and ferns, and was lighted with
candles.
The brides wedding dress was
of white satin, and she carried
shower bouquet of carnations and
orchids. The BRIDES maid was Miss
Leila Bamberger, of this city, who
wore lavender marquisette. The
best man was Mr.. William Whit
ney. After the wedding an elabor-
ate supper was served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bowden left on the midnight
train for trip to Niagara Falls
and other points north. Upon their
return they will reside near Sea-
ford.

Public Health Conference.

The semi-annual meeting of the
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of
Maryland will be held in Cam
bridge on Nov. II and Is, in con-
nection with a conference on health
and hygiene.
1t is the purpose of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty, in connec-
ton with the Dorchester Medical
Society and the Board of Trade of
Cambridge. to make this health con-
ference the most noted ever held
in the State.
On the night of Nov. II, a gen.
eral meeting will be held in the
Armory, when subjects pertaining to
the health of the community will
be discussed by the most eminent
authorities in the State. In addi-
tion,iit is expected that the Surgeon
General of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service will detail
an officer to attend this conference.
The lectures will be such that the
public cannot fail to understand the
topics as discussed, and will be
deliberately illustrated by lantern
slides and moving picture films.
The fine orchestra of the Faculty,
consisting of about twenty-five &C
complished musicians, will be in
attendance to furnish music for
the occasion.
Besides the conference Tuesday
night, a most complete and elabo-
rate exhibition by charts, models,
drawings and pictures of subjects
relating to public health and hy-
giene, have been secured and will
be arranged in several public
places, and competent men will be
present during the exhibition to ex-
plain fully the charts and models,
and their relation to the subject of
health and hygiene.
The full details of the conference
and program will be published later.
Last year, in Chestertown,a con-
ference was held, and the hall was
unable to hold the crowd that tried
to attend. 1t is hoped that the
citizens of Cam bridge and Dorches-
ter county will show their apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the Medical
Faculty to make this conference the
most successful ever held in the
State, by hearty interest in this
movement, and by an enthusiastic
and large attendance at the meet
ings

Land Exhibit Committee Named.

Declaring himself in favor of a
Maryland exhibit at the American
Land and Irrigation Exposition to
be held in New York from Novem-
Der Is to December 2, Gov. Colds
borough has written F. De Sales
Mudd, superintendent of the State
Bureau of immigration, appointing
a committee to undertake the gath
of the States exhibit. The Cover
nor writes:
1.-THE one and only trouble con-
fronting me is that no financial pro-
vision was made by the Legislature
of 1912 to defray the expenses of
an exhibit, though realizing the
vast benefit and profit that, in my
judgment, would accrue to the State
by being able, through the medium
of this land show, to bring to the
attention of thousands of people
who will visit it the varied agricul-
tural interests and resources CEN
tered in, Maryland.
You and a number of other gen.
tlemen who are deeply interested in
promoting agriculture within the
State tell me that, while regretting
the inability of the State to aid
financially in this matter, it will
be possible by way of private sub
scriptions to raise a sum adequate
to make a commendable display of
Maryland's agricultural industries
and resources at this exhibition and
of this I am exceedingly glad.
Therefore, l have decided to
name the following gentlemen as a
commission to represent Maryland al
this Land and Irrigation Show, viz:
F. De Sales Mudd, superintendent
State Bureau of immigration; DR..
Richard S. Hill, director of farmers
Institutes; Ex-senator George TIC.
Gray,of Charles county; J.W. Rama
han, of st. Mary's county; F. Mer-
tens, of Allegany county; David A.
Clark, of Baltimore city; Addison C.
Thomas, of Baltimore city; George
Blakiston, of Baltimore city; Harry
p. Skipper, of Queen Anne's coun-
ty; Irwin 7. Salisbury, of Caroline
county; Prof. H. ]. Patterson, di-
rector Maryland Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station; Frank E. Will
liams, of Cecil county; T. B. Hay

Ego Prices TO Drop.

With many cackle the hen is
getting ready to take on her job
again. The welcome announcement
is made that there should be a
break in the high price of fresh
eggs in the very near future. Eggs
of the fresh variety ruled firm at
% cents this morning, but the mar
ket was very easy, with a steady
supply. Storage eggs were firm at
- cents and ought to take drop
in sympathy with the drop in the
fresh article when it comes.
The melting season, which was
responsible directly for the high
price of eggs the last month or so,
is now about over land the fact that
the weather has continued rather
warm has started the biddies to
laying again. Once started, even
sharp cold spell is not likely to
stop them, if they are properly cared
for.
Another week of such weather as
is being enjoyed now will knock at
least two cents off the price of eggs,
and the reduction may be even
greater than this.

COOP STORY By 5. 0. Stocks

GOOD STORY BY S. o. STOCKS.
The centralia Guard says;
S. d. Stocks, who is making Dem
ocratic speeches in Audrain county,
has been telling a good story that
he applies to the situation in which
the few turn-coat Democrats will
find themselves after the election.
As this is the last week of the cam
paign and Mr.. Stocks will no longer
ncec the story for this point. we viii
tell it to you. A young man moved in.
to a Quaker neighborhood to farm
and on a piece of land adjoining a
very staid old Quaker. The two be-
came friends at once, but the old
Quaker was soreiy troubled because
the young man would swear. He was
very proficient in this much-practiced
art, and would swear at his cattle,
euss his mules and make the air
blue whenever in his estimation the
occasion presented itself. One day
the Quaker said to him: Friend
John, that is a very bad habit you
have and 1 want you 70 stop IT," Il
know it is a bad habit" said John,
"and / have tried to quit IL, but II
seems no use" The Quaker answered
by saying: "Neighbor, ] notice you
never swear when | am with you;per-
maps If you had something that would
remind you of me you might be able
to break yourself" John thought 1t
might work and the old Quaker took
off his coat and made John put 1t
on, SO that when he was tempted 20
swear the coat would remind him Of
the pious old Quaker and he would
desist until the desire or the occasion
had passed off and it would be no
use to swear. In a few weeks the
old Quaker met the young man and
asked him how the plan was working
II the wearing OF the coat had any ef
feet on him. John said: We'll. the
plan worked all right: IL / became ag
grayated and wanted 10 swear, /
thought OF your coat and | did not
swear at all, but ] never in my life
before had such a COMPOUNDED incli-
nation 10 steal. since ] put on your
coat"
