BOYS DEMONSTRATION WORK.
THE CORN CLUB.

The Z. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture have organized Boys Corn Clubs
all over The county for the purpose Of
getting the boys interested in farming
from practical standpoint Mr.. ".
r. Lintbicum who is a local repteseu-
tative Of the Department here when
interviewed about the matter had the
following to say:
The Boys Corn Clubs Of the United
States Department of Agriculture AT
Washington, D. G., were organized
for the following purposes:
a. 70 offer the rural teacher s
simple and easy method Of teaching
practical agriculture in the school ia
the way it must be acquired to be oi
real and lasting service, mainly by
actual work upon the farm.
Corn was selected fordemonstration
because it is a plant that can be pro
fitably produced in most sections Of
the United States. The boys, espeei-
ally the country boys have a common
knowledge Of the corn plant and the
lesson seems cay. Further. corr
Yields more food t. the acre in
most sections of our country than any
other grain crop, and good crop
stands for cheaper food for men and
animals.
10 To prove that there is more il.
the soil than the farmer has ever got
ten out Of it; to inspire our boys witt
a love Of the land by showing then
how they can get large yields Der acr.
by filling it 10 a better way and thus
be helpful TO his own family and the

BOYS GET BUSY.

To another column we publish an
interview with Mr.. W. r. Linthicum
III reference to the Boys Corn Club
that be desires to organize through
out the county.
The scheme devised by the U. S
Agricultural Department is to get
boys not onlyinterested in farming but
practical farming is an excellent
thing and SHOULD receive the encour-
agement OF every citizen Of the
County. A special prize will be a.
warded the boy making The best
yield on one acre in Southern Mary
land, and several prizes in the
County. It is further provided that
the parent hr guardian Of the boys
entering this contest shall give the
said contestants the revenue from
the said yields. This is most ex-
cellent proposition and every boy i
the county should write to Mr.. Lin
thicum or DR.. Stabler at once to enroll
their names in the contest This a
contest worth every boy't
while and none should fail to get in

and fertilization. We feel that IN
bringing before the boys OF Southern
Maryland what is known as 1.-THE Boys
Corn Club Work and interesting them
in the same, we will mculcate In the
bov the ambition 10 make his native
soil yield abundautly. So that not on
~ will our granaries be well filed, but
instead Of buying the products Of the
soil, such as bread, potatoes and hay
from other sections, we win have
enough for our families aud stock, and
some to sell the other man.
Now a word to the fathers of these
boys Many Of the boys in the Clubs
who begin to study agriculture in this
way viii continue the study in the
Agricultural Colleges: Others will con-
TIME such efforts on their farms, and
all Of them will make more useful and
more efficient citizens. From the
pleasant and profitable experience of
owning and managing theirsmall plots
taey will develop into independent. in
telligent farmers. Success in this
work is good training for usefulness in
any line. The question is. How many
boys can be reached and influenced
thus to succeed? A word to the
fathers Of these boys: Give to them
your encouragement, your counsel,
and the net proceeds from the one
acre we are trying to get them to cul-
tiyate. Your hearty cooperation with
the boy is Of great value.
All boys in the county between the
age Of 10 and 20 years are eligible to
membership in the Clubs who have
their fathers or guardians consent
The boy who makes the greatest Yield
at the smallest cost viii be given free
trip to Washington, an audience with
the President, an audience with the
Secretary Of Agriculture and diploma
from the same.
There win also be cash piizes to the
winning boyo from the county.
All boys on the Eastern side Of the
p. B. and W. r. r. who wish to join
must send their names to w. r.. Lin
thicum, La Plata, and all On the West
side to S. S. stabler, Grayton. Nd

THE CITIZENS MEETING.

The town citizens meeting held here
on Monday was gratifying in at least
one sense, to wit; that it was attend
ed by many Of the best business men
and taxpayers Of the town. Of
course some Taxpayers Of the town
were absent and among them those
who make the loudest noise and do
the least towards the accomplish
ment for anything feasible along bust
ness lines for the town.
From the sentiment at the meeting
it was clearly demonstrated that a
water plant for the town alone was
not only an unfe asible proposition
for a stock company to make sue
cess but that the town itself could
not stand such a proposition, the
latter demonstrates that eur con;en-
ton sometime since thst the spend
ing Of $4,000 or $4,000, by the town
for a water plant was TIE height Of
folly. If it could not pay stock
company then it necessarily follows
that the town could rot stand such
an expense.
However, when the proposition of
establishing an ice plant and laundry
and water plant in connection their
with was bros ehed the question Ct
improving the town took on a differ
ent turL. 1t was believed tyH
those present that such proposition
if properly manage would pay and
at the same time be a great benefit
to the town, in which behalf we most
hearty concur. Tbs proper way to
meet this proposition if found FEAST
bic by the committee named at the
meeting in our minds would be by
forming stock company in which
every citizen Of the to IN could take
stock and conduct the same along
business lines.
That such thing as a laundry and
ice plant would prove of incalcuable
benefit to the town cannot be cues
toned, hence, If it is found a feasible
proposition by the committee all Of
whom are good business men, then
let the people all over the town take
stock and back up this proposition.
Mere talk amounts to nothing. Talk
accomplishes nothing. 1t it is feasi-
bic, we repeat, form a stock com
pany and let the people take hold
Of the proposition and make it sue
cessful. Action along business lines
and not talk is what is wanted now

flown over the heads Of Secretary Of

who have been at daggers points since

CARDINAL ON wOMANS
SUFFRAGE.

Cardinal Gibbons IN an excellent
interview during the past week ex-
planned the position Of the Church
on this subject and stated at the
same time his personal views of the
matter. When Miss MiIholland's
statement was shown him in refer
ence thereto he declared;
The Cardinal declared that Miss
Milholland was in error whsn she
said the Catholic Church was oppos-
ed TO equal suffrage and had taken
extreme measures even to prevent
women OF the church reading Iitera-
ture pertaining to The question.
The statement Of Miss Milholland,
in which she quoted a Western pre-
lats as to the opposition Of the
Church to equal suffrage, was read to
the Cardinal.
lie then said:
aThat is an erroi. The mission
Of the Church is to define faith aud
morals In other matters individuals
decide for themselves. The Western
prelate' quoted must have spoken As
an individual. Personally. | am op,
posed to female suffrage, because ]
am in favor Of perpetuating the real
dignity OF woman.
'sThe Christian religion has exaIt-
ed woman to her present sphere.
She is no longer the slave Of man or
the toy Of his caprice, but the equal,
the peer IF man. She is The queen
Of the domestic kingdom and her
proper sphere is at home.
"She is Justly honored everywhe e
by reason Of her sex. Now, il she
were to embark on the ocean Of po-
litical life, is is very much to be fear
ed that her dignity would be impair
ed, If not jeoptrdized.
"Observe the effect Of this present
agitation Of ranv women. As soon
as women seek the arena of poiitic-
they may expect 10 be soiled by is
dust. And the grace and charm IN
terent in woman would be very seri-
ousiy impaired BY her rule contact
and contact. n with mea IN political
life.
~Womau's sphere is the home, aud
as wife and mother she will have
ample occasion to engage all her time
and faculties. The wife who absents
herself from home habitual.y inevi-
tably neglects her children and causes
her husband to suffer BY her absence.
"The country has already quite
enough voters. Although womet
may not now exercise suffrage, th
finest amoag them are voting by
proxy. Their power is inealculable.
We cannot exaggerate tie inlu nee
Of a good woman on the men Of ..er
circle. Let me illustrate by an anec-
dote:
"W g read that ThemistocIes was
