The copper era and Morenci leader., 1914-02-27

One of the most interesting meet Volunteer Fire Department of recent years was that held at the Masonic Hall on the evening of last Satur- day. The results of the meeting were the election of a full force of officers to serve for the ensuing year, splendid banquet, an increase of the interest of the membership, and the beginning of plans for the holding of a widely attended ball, under the auspices of the organization at an early date.
 A majority of the fire boys were present at the smoker, which under the direction of Thos Sidebotham and capable assistants, J. C.. Gaines and F. E. Goode, was all that could be desired, most tempting array of being attractively displayed. While this was the most enjoyable feature of the evening, yet time was largely devoted to the real benefits and progress of the organization, which has already proven it's worth to the community.
 Prime among the measures con- summated was the election of full force of officers to serve for the en- suing year The officers elected were: Thos Sidebotham, chief; P. Riley, assistant Chief; Mat Danen- hauer, secretary and treasurer; Walter Tappin, c a of Chase Creek district; J. c. Gaines, captain of Hills Addition; Ira Dilli- ner, captain of East Clifton, and Wm. Patterson captain of North Clifton.
 Splendid musical efforts by local artists assisted in the entertainment of the gathered fire fighters. Speeches casual, pertinent and otherwise, were likewise on the extempor1zed program. A number of the speakers chose for their subjects the necessity of strengthening the organization to even greater usefulness, and in this

Risks of the Road.

Actuaries OF accident insurance
companies find that the man who
drives a racing automobile in the
speedway contests runs 1000 times
the normal risk of death and injury
He must be charged $3.50 for a $10,-
600 policy covering a period in which
he Is engaged not more than "a hours
practice speeding or actual racing.
The figures are very suggestive to
sane and law-abiding Automobiles,
who are subjected to the risk of life
and limb, because Of the efforts of a
few speed maniacs to emulate upon
the public roads the feats OF the
drivers Of racing cars upon the cour-
SEES especially adopted to fast driv-
ing.
The normal risk in motoring-that
is to say, the risk encountered where
the traffic conditions are normal-is
less than the risk involved in farm
labor, where farm animals and tools
and machinery are handled.
The accident underwriters, we be-
lieve, rate automobile owners accord
ing to their vocation. A business or
professional man who would get the
lowest premium rate IL he did not
drive an automobile gets that rate re
CARELESS of his ownership of an auto
mobile. That is a right rating, be-
cause other than the automobilists,
are run down and MANNED and killed
by the speedster. But there is a con
siderable loss to accident insurance
companies that is due directly to the
violations of reasonable speed regu-
lahons.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

AerOpIanes in War.

Although the Wright brothers were
the pioneers In aviation, and success
full flying with heavier-than-air ma
chimes would perhaps not ever now
be an accomplished fact but for them,
yet the science of aviation in a gen
eral way is further advanced in nearly
all European country. This Is because
the value of aeroplanes in was was
quickly recognized by foreign govern
ments. The United States govern
ment has eXperimented a little with
these machines, but Germany, France,
England and Italy have given much
attention to them, and tests and ex-
periments are constantly going on.
Many races and contests are arranged
for the coming summer. these to be
participated in by private as well as
government aviators.
Aerial defense in war is regarded
in Europe as absolutely essential.
Italy proved its usefulness in Tripoli,
hence the interest of that country in
improving the art of flying. The
Wright brothers once complained that
their own government was the last to
recognize the Importance or their in
yention, and ever now 1t is not sutfi-
GENTLY equipped with war aeroplanes,
in the opinion of aviation experts. Yet
if it is going into Mexico it might find
them useful. They might even be Of
immediate value for scouting purposes

SOY BEANS MAKE VALUABLE
MARYL AND CROP.
Improve the soil anu Yield Hay Oh
High Feeding Quality.
n. =. SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Soy beans make valuable general
crop to grow on the average Maryland
farm since they both benefit the soil
and give a hay Of high feeding value,
practically equal to alfalfa. They are
well adapted to our climate and to
most of our soils good varieties that
will mature in any section of the State
are found on the market
The soil should be in the same con-
dition and be prepared in the same
manner for soy beans as for corn, ex.
cept that soy beans may be grown In
poorer soils than those on which corn
can be proftably grown. Soy beans
will not grow In very poor sandy land
lacking humus as well as COW peas
will. On the other hand, soy beans
are better suited than are COW peas to
the clay soils throughout the State
west of the Eastern Shore and South
ern Maryland. The best soil for them
is a clay loan.
Soy beans may be planted from the
time corn planting Is finished until
the middle OF July, depending upon
the location and what the crop ~
grown for. In general, the best time
is from June LIST to Goth. When crop
or hay Is desired, the method of seed
ing Is the same as with COW peas or
wheat.-by using the drill The rate
of seeding for hay Is about 1 " bushels
per acre.
In growing soy beans for seed, they
should be planted in rows "a to SO
inches apart to allow for cultivation as
with corn. For this about one-third to
one-half bushel of seed per acre is re-
nuired. The planting may be done with
a regular corn planter, or wheat
drill by stopping the proner seed holes.
Few soils lie Maryland are naturally
inoculated for soy beans. When they
are being grown for the first time, in
oculation should be provided for by
securing soil from field i'm which soy
beans have been grown and working
into the soil at the rate Of three to four
hundred pounds per acre.
The principal advantages OF soy
beans over cow peas are their upright
growth, their high and certain seed
yields, from Is to IS bushels per acre,
less trouble in curing for hay and bet
ter hay, and uniform maturing or seed,
which makes harvesting for seed a
simple operation. Where a fair
growth has been made, binding with
the wheat binder and shocking the
same as wheat IS the simplest and best
way of harvesting. When well shocked
the bean may remain In the field all
winter without much injury from the
weather The threshing IL very simple
an ordinary wheat thresher will do the
work very effectively, when the cylin
der speed Is reduced To 500 OF SOC
revolutions per minute, but the separa
tor speed must be maintained at the
normal rate as for wheat.

Let "Stars and Stripes" Fly over
Public Buildings During Star

# the Mayors of the cities and the
Governors of the States throughout
the country fall in with Mayor Pres
tons suggestion, as they now give
evidence of doing, the Star-Spangled
Banner will fly from the public build
ings Of every municipality of 5000

Centennial Week next September
when the birth of the national anthem
will be celebrated in Baltimore.

Mayor James II. Preston, of Balti-
more.
May l, 1914.
Hon. David Z. Walsh,
Mayor of Westminster,
Westminster, Md.
Dear Sir
In September Of this year will. oc-
cur the Tooth anniversary OF the birth
of the Star Spangled Banner" and
the achievement of American indie
pendence. Both these events were
made possible by the successful de-
Tense Of Baltimore against the British,
and that they may be fittingly com
memorated, we will hold from Sep
TENDER 9Th to 18th, celebration that
will excel all others of like character
For more than year, the citizens of
Baltimore have been working dill
gently to complete plans that are in
keeping with the high dignity OF the
anniversary. Thousands from all
sections will come to our city to pay
homage to the author and the song
that has never failed to thrill with
pride the heart Of every loyal Ameri-
can.
But while the gathering will be
great in numbers, throughout the
land there will be millions who will
find it impossible to come. 1t is only
proper, therefore, that some steps
should be taken to make them feel
that they have part in the great
national celebration. 1t seems to me
that no better method could be adopt
ed to bring this about than to have
the national standard, the STARS and
Stripes" flying over every public
building, business institution and
residence in every city during the
entire celebration. To you. the
Chief Executive of your city, appeal
for cooperation, and feel sure that
the general use of the American
Flag during Centennial Week will not
only aid the cause OF patriotism but
present to the world striking pic
ture of the strength, purity and 10y
atty of which the 'Heaven-born Ban
ner" is the emblem.
Anticipating with pleasure an ex-
preston or your views on this sub
ject, I am,
Very truly yours,

SEMINARY cAMMENCEMENT.

nnfnd

Dr. Elderdice breaches BaccaIaureate
SermOn-Six Students are Grad
uated.
The first event in the exercises con
nected with the thirty-frst commence
ment OF Westminster Theological
Seminary was the baccalaureate ser
vice, which took place Sunday morn
ing in the Methodist Protestant
Church Of this city. The baccalau-
reate sermon was delivered by Rev.
Hugh Latimer Elderdice, ID. d., presi-
dent of the seminary, and, while it ex-
pressed strong fraternal regard for
sister denominations, was an earnest
plea for fidelity to the standards Of
the Methodist Protestant Church.
His text was Romans xvi: 80: And
Quartus brother" His theme was
The Minister as a Brother. He said
in part:
who was Quartus2 Tradition
says that he was one Of the Seventy
Disciples and that he became Bishop
OF Beretus. No one knows who he
was: he was brother. The proper
noun Quartus is not SO important as
the common noun, brother. 1t il the
most comprehensive and significant
name that can be given the Christian
minister. In Old Testament times the
religious leader was prophet inter
pretlng God to man, or priest in
terpreting man to God, and his work
was with the nation rather than with
the individual. In New Testament
times he retained both the prophetical
and the priestly offices, though the
nE 49, 1n++
abolished, and his work was with the
individual rather than with the ma
ton. In our times he L. still a pro-
phet and a priest. for he comes from
God to men and he goes back to God
with men, and the name that best ex-
presses both these functions Is
brother.
The sermon to the alumni of the
seminary was delivered Sunday even
ing BY Rev. Arminius Gray Dixon. A.
b., B. d., OF the class Of 1901, now
pastor Of the Methodist Protestant
Church at High Point, N. @.

An Expensive Dish.

Caruso, the great Italian singer.
dined at a private house in London,
and he was so pleased with a dish of
macaroni that the cook had sent up
to the table that he insisted on going
down to the kitchen to offer his
thanks in person. Not only did he
thank the lady, but he offered her the
choice Of a ticket to hear him sing at
Covent Garden or a song on the spot.
The cook, not trusting very much
to the remembering capacity of IA
nous tenors, said she would have the
song on the spot. So Caruso, leaning
against the kitchen dresser, imme-
diately favored her with La Donna
9 Mobile" in his most brilliant man
ner.
AS somebody pointed out afterward:
"Caruso expects at least $4,000 for
q private concert, which makes the
cooks macaroni the most expensive
dish ever eaten."-Dramatic Memoir.
