In those days memory shows many a
bright and blooming face many characters

not experienced darkness and gloom as
well as hope and brightness in this change
able voyage of ours
In the memories of my youthful days
there appears none brighter than that of
my well-beloved friend Colonel Simon. AS
dealer in 'ready-made clothes" there
was none more honest and accommodate

In those days it was my pride Cor my
weakness, perhapsO to sport a Prince
Albert coat found that it gave me re-
spectability among strangers. but not to
much extent among homefolks But Simon

long, he clipped them; If they were toe

all right to me, because had implicit
confidence in the opinion of Simon.
Well, Simon grew old and grew suspi-
cious of his judgment in the fit and price

States women are furnishing leaders in the
moral, social and industrial solutions of
the present. In the suffrage States they
are voting, as elsewhere they are thinking
and working. All the arguments of any
real interest against woman suffrage have
been destroyed by the single historical fact
that industry has gone out of the home
and woman has had to follow it out. The
argument that she does not want the VOTE
whatever it may have been worth, is ceas-
ing rapidly to have any foundation, even
in fact. What we have of practical tests
in several States and municipalities, backs
up the theoretical arguments, the voting
of the women being altogether progressive
and wise. The situation has solved itself.
The question is no longer open. Practically
every progressive mind is convinced.-N

Mammoth Crops OF Potatoes And
Apples.

Mr.. JOS A. Fontaine arrived at the home
OF Mr.. Thomas C. Keys, near this town, OF
Monday last from the county of Columbia
state OF Washington. He is paying visit
to relatives in Maryland, his native State
Mrs. Keys is niece of his, and after
spending several days with the family he
left for the Eastern Shore. where he was
born. to see his brothers. He will remain
IN this State until near the close of this
month, when he will return home to an
swer the roll-call in the Legislature of his
adopted State, as that body meets on the
LIST of January, 1918. Having served term
as legislator, he was reelected last fall
Mr.. Fontaine, as young man, went to the
West in 1870. With good common-sense
alone to guide him, he was led on to for
tune. now commanding a liberal share of
of the worlds goods
On his present visit he brought with him
an Irish potato of the Burbank variety
and presented it at this office, weighing
pounds ounce, measuring in length
II and l-2 inches and in circumference
II and "a inches. He stated that great
many potatoes similar in variety are grown
in his county weighing two pounds more
than the one described, but they are not
quite so smooth in growth. and he selected
one of more even growth, thinking it would
be more pleasant to the sight of those who
look at it.
The apple crop in Washington this year,
he says, is amazingly large. The farmers
will not be able to turn the large surplus
into money, and thereby they will sustain
heavy financial loss in the crop, because
it does not pay to ship apples to the East
under present conditions. He stated that
Washington could furnish Maryland with
apples cheaper than the latter could grow
them. He has endeavored to have his fell
low-countians in combination establish
booths in the city of Baltimore from
which to sell apples at retail after they
are shipped from Washington to central
depository in the city especially arranged
for the purpose of receiving and keeping
them sound. He suggests that each booth
be replenished every morning with fresh
supply and sold to the poor boy, or to
anybody else who wants them, at a mod
crate cost, by the single apple cent or
two, and larger quantities in proportion,
thus saving to the consumer the middle
mans commission and reducing the high
cost of living that much
The citizens Of his county have not en-
Unused over this piece of enterprise to dis
pose of the crop suggested by him, but
later he expects to see it adopted and
Baltimore supplied with apples ripe, red
and rosy" of a delicious and surprising
flavor
If the scheme brings a remunerative re-
turn. then other cities of the East will be
invaded and their citizens fruited and
feasted
