Newark has the best firefighting
ominmeut of any town ON the
Peninsula. Indeed, its efficiency
will make it of use not only TO the
town bat to the whole surround,
inc country. Practically every res
idsnt has a sense of pride this week
in eur CHgtne.
Firpmen have been busy during
the week practising, testing and
faniliarizing themselves in the op-
eration of the new combined chem
ical hose wagon and pumping en-
zine which was delivered last Sat-
nrdav. The truck has been much
in evidence on the streets during
the last week, and practically every
one has had the opportunity of see-
ing it.
The new machine is patterned
after the combination engine that
the Reliance Company of Whining
ton purchased from the same CON-
pany some months ago, but it has
many improvements over the form
er machine and some Of the equip
ment is arranged differently, which
adds to the efficiency Of the fire
fighter.
It is finished in two shades OF
red, with gold trimmings, while
many of the parts are nickel-plated
making the machine an especially
attractive one.
The machine is of 80 horse pow.
sr, and the price paid was $4,000
The chemical tank is of 40 gallons
capacity and can be charged in two
minutes. so that even should there
he no stream near it is well equip
ped to cope with ordinary fire with
ont putting on plug stream. Tht
pump capacity is TOO gallons
minute. One of the noticeable I'M
provements over the Reliance Il
that it will have a frame OF alloy
steel while the former has Woot
frame. Several interesting details
Of the engine follow:
Both the front and rear axle i
Of the highest grade of alloy steel
solid forging. The brakes are IN
ternal expanding on rear wheeis
External contracting on counter
shaft. The wheel base is l44 meme
and wheels of artillery type OF sc
Iccted second growth hickory.
The tires are solid cushion, 4
by / IL inches, single in front an
dual in rear. The spark and thro'
te control is above 1S-inch steerln

The results OF The boys corn club
contests ought to be an encourage
ment to the boys to stay on the farm.
What can be done o. one acre can be
done on hundred by applying the
same amount Of energy and time to
the crops. The young man on the
farm has one thing at least r.ore than
bis city brother at all times during
the year, -o-wn; "Happiness." There
is NJ occupation in the world that is
more happy than farming. Farmers
seldom ever get rich but the happi-
ness they enjoy in the quiet pursuit
Of their work is worth more than
anything ell in the world.

Notwithstanding that politics and
many other matters of interest Is
claiming the attention Of the people
throughout the country at the pre-
sent time there is nothing 10 witch
the people of the country are more
interested as a whole than the world
series of base ball games between
the Athletics and New York. The
large numbers that have been pre-
sent to witness the game thus far
played and the interest displayed
throughout the entire ccvntry proves
that base ball is the greatest of ameri-
can sports and the continued inter-
est year by year d, moustrates that
its popularity has never wanned and
is not likely to wane in the near flu
ture.

mkRYlAND is BETTER.


Two Baltimoreans who have just
from tour Of observation
through the agricultural provinces Of
Western Canada are convinced that
in the southeastern part Of the Unit
ed States, and in Maryland particu-
larly, a b. tier agricultural opportuni-
ty is offered to the prospective far
mer Of small capital than is to be
found in Canada. j. A. Tschantre,
secretary Of the State Board of Edu-
cation, and Clement s. Ucker are the
two farm research travellers referied
to. -Four western provinces Of Can
ada and FIVE Northwestern state Of
the United States were visited.
Canada, as sne of the observers
points out, has left nothing nntold in
the persuasiv ADVERTISEMENTS ID CD
have invited immigration to the wes-
tern wheat lands from everywhere,
but more especially from The United
States. Farming opportunity, it is
declared, is much more attractive on
paper than when attempt is made to
realize. The winters are long and
severe, and Canada is prar ticalIy
one-crop country-wheat. Remote
ness from the large markets and from
the east coast ports is a tremendous
handicap to the West Canada far
mers.
Free land is the big inducemeut
which Canada has to offer to capt
ta,istie farmers in search of oppor-
tunity, and there is no denying that
it is drawing attraction II the
Canadian estimates are accurate,
somethin. likg a half million OF
American fsrmers have crossed int
Canada during the past ten yesrs, at
tracted by the government land Of
fers. But, all the same; farming III
Canada is a contest winter six
months long. Forming il Maryland
should be a joy to the man rightly
attuned to his business. The big
markets are near and everything thai
can be grown in Canada can be grown
in Maryland and fifty things can b.
grown in the Chesapeake legior
which cannot be profitably reduced
10 Canada.

"Mis-stated facts" We do not
have to do anything further in an
swer to the article in the Times
Crescent last week in reference to
mis-stated facts about tie roads than
to leave this matter to the people,
Does the Times Crescent dare to tel
the people of Charles county that
anyone mis-states fact when they
say that no work has been done on
the road from La Plata to Bel Alton
or from Lo,hair to Mt Republic ex-
cept little fixing at Lothian, the
most Of which is worse than it was
before. Does it dare to tell the peo-
pie that the road from La Plata to
General Winners gate on which an
attempt has been made to fix 1t is
better than before. If SO, we chal-
Ienge Brother Mitchell TO take the
Sta, Roads Commission over both
roads and then publish its opinion Of
the sad roads.

A large portion of the citizenship
Of the County, among whom Mr..
John II. Ritter, our town barber, hiss
many friends, were, It is said, mu,h
CHI yrinLed that he was not named
as one of the candidates for the leg
stature on the "Walter Nit he'll
ticket" the ticket recently named in
he back room Of building in town,
as it is called by many Democrats,
who were not among the few invited
to the pie table. 1t is said tn Mr..
Mitchell in his official capacity as
chairman Of the so-called Democratic
State Central Committee for Charles
county, called upon Mr.. Ritter, and in
his sweet, churub style held ont to
the crednlous the glitter of hon ,rable
office at the formers command to
give away, and vouchsafed him 10
take the nomination for the LegisIa-
ture. Mr.. Ritter, realizing the ex-
pense at fret hesitated, but upon the
assurance that the matter would be
OF no expense to him and believing
this proffer was sincere finally Con
sented and thereupon was assured be
would be put GA the ticket. Mr.
Ritter, not being Sc eli advised as
SOM Others as the atmosphere in
which he was sailing told many OF
his friends OF the Divine command
and began eleclioneering in good
faith for the attractive trophy Lo,
however, VIXEN the cards were deal |
the name of Mr.. Ritter did not show
up and no apology or explanation
has since been forthcoming. Mr.
Ritter good-naturedly slliies = and
smiles again. The better infor ned |

County Democracy leader; another
degree higher up he has climbed tie
ladder of the Anaaias club.

A good many people never seem
to learn ANYTHING or see danger until
someone gets hurt and then il is again
the excuse, Il diin't intend to hurt
anyone" Several days ago an aero
pianist while flying in the air directed
bis machine over building where
some Of his friends were watching his
exhibition and when just near them
shot his machine down near them
without any trouble. He tiled II a
second time and this time struck the
parties throwing them off Il 9 build
ing to the earth forty odd feet below
causing the instant death Of one Of
the parties. People who do these
kind of foolhady things should be
severely dealt with and a lesson long

The NEW TARIFF.

The new Democrats tariff bill
having finally passed both hou es o.
Congress and received the signature
of the President is now the law.
The people have since, the never
to be forgotten Wilson German tariff
was repealed, been living under a
tariff for protection under which they
have enjoyed protection and pros
perlty without bounds, hence the
country is on the anxious bench as
what the conditions will be under the
new tariff for revenue only.
All ready American industries
have moved from this country to
Canada and the people, especially
the American laborer are becoming
fearful Of he future under this
measure.
OF course az the present time no
marked change is likely to occur or
be- noticed but as time rolls on the
real results of the new measure will
be only too well seen.
The new tariff is one for revenue
only as promised by the Dem ocratic
party iii the campaign Of 1912 and
the people will no lorger enjoy living
under protective tariff, benre, it is
likely that ere long a repetition Of
the days of Grover Clevelandism will
follow as night follows day.
One significant fact that must be
noticed by the American people since
the pas sage of the new tariff law is
the statements Of many Of the demo
cratic leaders, to wit: ssThat the eff
fects of the new tariff will not be lell
for a year or more and that it will
not likely reduce the high cost of
living" This is true. 1t will take
about year al least for the full force
and effect Of the new tariff to be
seen AID felt. The new tariff vii.
never reduce the cost of living I'M
less the wages Of the American lab
orer are reduced and the farme- is
paid far smaller prices for his pr
ducts than he is now receiving.
The people await the outcome Of
the new tariff with great anxiety, as
said above, and we fear that the Ell
fects of the new measure will be far
from satisfactory and pleasing to the
American people.
