lecturers will leave Washington and will
cover a number of States that have up
to this time been uninstructed in corn
growing by means of clubs.
A number of farms in each commun-
ity are cultivated under the direction of
the expert from the department. These
farms are models and are made concrete
examples, for the other farmers see the
results possible on one piece of land they
rarely fail to make use Of the improved
methods that may have been used.

Taft and Roosevelt

The Republican warfare is
growing merry, and it looks as
If the Roosevelt followers will
give the Taft men a hard fight
in Worcester, although the
followers of the President seem
to be confident that they will
carry the county. II all depends
upon the way the negro will
vote. Some very bold threats
are being made against him by
men who are the strongest kind
of Republicans. A leading
Republican declared that if the
negro voters did not support
Roosevelt in this county he
would be in favor of disfran-
chising them. Another one
said Amen. "

Clark and Wilson

The Democratic contest in
Maryland seems to have mar
rowed down To Clark and Will
son. although Harmon is on
the official ballot and is in the
running. In Worcester County
there is slight division between
the two. just as many organi-
zation people are for Wilson as
for Clark and there does not
seem to be much sentiment
against the nomination of either
one of the two. Clark and
Wilson are considered as good
men as the Democratic party
can find to win with, and most
of us are satisfied with either
one. In fact most of the Demo
Gratis think the ticket to be
voted next Fall should he Will
son and Clark. or Clark ard
Wilson.
The primaries will be held
Monday week, May 9Th. and be-
fore that time the voters will
have come to a determination
as to which they will vote for
Champ Clark or Woodrow Will
son.

Deafne.s Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for.
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness tcaused by ca
tarrhl that cannot be cured by Halls

In and Out.

Which is the better indica-
ton of the real views of "A can
didate for public office---what
he does when he is in power, or
what he promises to do if again
placed in power:
In spite of appeals TO Colonel
Roosevelt on behalf Of laboring
men, the famous gag order
of 1902, forbidding employees of
the Government from memoir
ializing Congress on any mat
ter, stood unrepealed through
out his administration until
later set aside by Taft.
In the spring of 1906, when a
deputation of laboring men
asked Roosevelt to favor a bill
so amending the eight-hour law
as TO make il efficient, he would
give them no help.
Now that III eight-hour law
demanded by the Federation of
Labor, for which President Taft
stands sponsor, has passed the
Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives and hangs fire in the
Republican Senate, Colonel
Roosevelt has suddenly recalled
himself. In his stumping tour
he has declared himself in fav-
or of a universal eight-hour law.
In view of the record of what
Teddy could not be persuaded
to do when he had the power,
and of what he now promises
10 do in case the people should
forget his under no circum-
stances" pledge and elect him
for a third term, what are hon
est workingmen to think.

A Good Mayor and City
Council.

1t is stated that Mayor Cord
dry will not be a candidate for
collection. To many citizens of
Snow Hill this is bad intelli-
gence. Mr.. Corddry has been a
most progressive Mayor, and
under his direction the town has
gone to the front as one of the
best kept towns in the State.
Mr.. Corddry has given much
time to tn, consideration Of the
welfare of Snow Hill, and many
persons have spoken highly of
his administration of our town
affairs. The town has good
streets and as general thing
they are kept i'll neat and or
derby manner. The cost of the
improvements made in Snow
Hill has been lower than the
same work has cost in many
other towns of the State.
During the ten years that Mr.
Corddry has served as Mayor of
Snow Hill there have been
many changes streets have
been graded and macadamiZed.
and sidewalks of brick and ce-
ment have been placed along
nearly all the principal streets
When the improvements We're
first inaugurated there was
much opposition, but as time
went on and the great improve
ment to the town was seen and
felt.those who opposed the work
became reconciled, and finally
gave credit TO the Mayor for the
backbone he had to do the right
thing at the right time.
We trust that the successor
of Mayor Corddry will continue
the policy of improvement
When our streets were inn
proved and new sidewalks were
laid. then the people awoke to
the fact that their homes must
be in keeping with the new or
der of things. As a consequence
Snow Hill has beautiful homes
and is a beautiful town She
lacks factories. but no one can
charge Mr.. Corddry with a lack
of interest along these lines as
he is doing all in his power as
a large manufactures and eX
tensive employer of labor to
keep Snow Hill going
We congratulate the people
that Mr.. Corddry served them
tn years. and we trust his sue
cessor will receive the same
commentator.

Clark, of the City Council.
whose terms also expire, are
conscientious public servants.

A brief stop was made here. and the

bound for the isthmus because he be-
lieved the time had come to provide for
a civil government for the Panama Canal

Having had experience with the canal
and it's builders for many years. he said
he thought it incumbent upon him to pro-
vide for the future government of the
zone and not leave such matters to his
successor, who was not at all familiar
with the details Of the work.
At Miami a special observation car was
attached to the Taft train, which the
parts expects to use during the trip on

commences:
by the conclusion of the armistice be-
tween the Turkish and the allied troops
the first period of the war with Turkey
has been concluded.
After a lengthy eulogy OF the memorable
exploits achieved. ii concludes:
You should profit by the present mo-
ment to rest, in order to prepare your
selves for fresh efforts. I'm which case
have no doubt you will cover your ban
ners with new and imperishable glory.
Special significance is attached in some
quarters to the two sentences quoted.

Gratifyingly Large Sale of Red

The sale Of the Red Cross Christmas
seals has already exceeded similar sales
in past years. 1t was announced at head
quarters in the Chamber of Commerce to-
day. More than 10000 seals have been
placed on sale. and it is known that up
ward of 100000 of the seals have been
disposed of.
All of the proceeds Of the sale go to
the support of the day camp for tuber-
cular patients. at 14th and Upshur streets,
which is conducted by the Red Cross So
ciety. There scores of poor boys and
girls, in the early stages of consumption,
are given proper treatment, plenty of
fresh air and good food.
The more seals we sell the more chill
dren We can care for" said a member
Of the committee In charge Of the sale
today. Every penny which residents of
Washington spend for seals is returned
to them a thousand-fold in the safe
guards which our fight against tuber-
culosis provides them. Is IT not far bet
ter to spend a few pennies to prevent
disease than to pay hundreds of dollars
to wipe it out after it has once found
headway?'
