The Call of the Land

The Call of the Land
By R. FREEMAN
1t throbs through the noontde brushes
Where the gaunt street canyons yaWn,
1t thrills in the traffics bushes
In the dark before the dawn;
Now vibrant and tense with pity,
Now ringing with sharp command,
Summoning souls from the city
Hank to the Call of the Land!
81 have fed your mouths from my bounty
Since the days when you toed alone,
And turned up my virgin meadows
With your spades Of wood and bone.
have watched your eyes grow restless,
[ have seen you pause and part,
Drawn from your ancient mother
By the lure OF the court and mart.
"Engulfed in the sordd city
And deaf to my warning cry,
have you reel and stumble,
I have seen you faint and de-
[ have heard your sobs OF anguish,
/ have heard your groans of pain,
And [ raise my voice to save you,
| reach you my arms again.
ss'Are you broken in heart and body?
Are you shrunken in mind and soul?
Haste back to me, your mother,
And my care will make you whole.
Are you shaken in faith, discouraged?
Are you buffeted bruised and sore?
Creep out to from the cutters
And I'll make you men once more.
ssCome out to me in the open
From the night where you cringe and grope;
Let your thews grow hard with labor,
And your hearts grow big with hope
You shall stand with your heads in the sunshine
You shall stand with your feet on the sod,
And your faith in shall lead you
To a surer faith in Cod

CHAPTER X.

There was another than the foreman who was happier than ordinary words would have expressed, now that Jack son Jones had stated, with what seemed to be finality, that he intend ed to continue at the business which had made his fortune and had made Jonesville. But Josie felt a strange need for reserve in her young employ CTS presence, a need which she had not felt the night before and one which she could not explain.
 Her impulse was to rush into ey- travagance of praise after he had sent the foreman out into the works to tell the men that he should not sell his patrimony to the trust but for some reason which she would have found it difficult to explain fully she said not word about it. Instead she turned to him with matterof-fact expression and the words of commonplace occasions

State GraTge Holds
Its Annual Meeting
MARYLAND Farmers and Farm Women
VIII Meet In Baltimore To Con-
slider Rural Problems.

With the coming Of the Maryland
State Grange TO Baltimore on the 18th
and 18th Of December, We find many
Interested to know what this organi-
zation stands for and what ii has ac-
complished.
The Grange is the organization OF
the whole country community, yltally
interested In the betterment Of the
home as well as the improvement Of
the farm, open TO men and women
alike and ready TO include in its mem
Dership the boys and girls who are
last growing into the active life of their
neighborhood The Grange is the edu-
Gator OF the farmer in better farming
methods, in better business practice,
and in better country life. The first
object Of the Grange is to train the
farmer to help himself and find him
self.
The social side Of the Grange is the
side that really touches the farmer
first and brings his family into closer
touch with the other people of the
neighborhood. Too often the country
neighborhood is broken up into social
sets or circles or again there is lit
tie or no social life at all. Things
are dead" the young folks will tell
You, nothing doing around these
parts" The Grange changes this. The
Grange is broad enough to take into
it every interest in country life and
every one interested in it. It brings
people together who have had hardly
bowling acquaintance 1t makes them
feel free TO speak their thoughts out
In open meeting" without fearing too
much what this or that neighbor will
say. II brings home to them the fact
that they are all members Of a COM
mon neighborhood and engaged in the
common and united effort Of making 1t
a more desirable place in which to
live. If the Grange accomplished moth
ing else but the making Of better neigh
bors and better nelghborhood spirit, II
would be still well worth while. Copies
Of the program for the State Grange
meeting will be gladly mailed to any
one writing to the State Lecturer,

SELECTING PROFITABLE LAYERS
FROM THE FARM FLOCK.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

At this season Of the year the ques-
tion Of how to pick out the laying hen
often comes up. Many have recon-
mended the use of trap nests. This
may sound very we'll to persons who
have had no actual experience with
them, but any one who has looked
after trap nests knows that 1t is no sim.
pie matter. Attention has to be given
at intervals every day if a complete
record is TO be had. They have to be
looked after Sundays and holidays as
well as other days, fourth Of July and
Christmas included. OF course, trap
nests have their place, but it isn't in
the hen house Of the average farmer
or poultryman. How then is the poul.
try keeper going to pick out the busi-
ness hen? 1t is quite simple mat
ter. The hardest problem perhaps is
how to get hold Of the birds. If one
doesn't mind spending an evening now
and then with the chickens they can
be easily handled after dark. If the
work must be done during the day a
sort Of darkened corner can be fenced
off in the poultry house and the birds
driven in where they can be very read.

1t is noteworthy fact that during
his so years practice at the English
bar, Sir Edward Clarke was never in
strumental in securing a death penal
ty, unless an argument against a pris-
oner before the privy council on a

more remarkable. perhaps, is the rec

Sing for Prisoners.

Prisoners were put on their dignity
Sunday afternoon at the Frederick
Jail, when ten Hood College girls
went to the institution and sang songs
during the regular Sunday afternoon
services. 1t was a rare occasion for
the prisoners and they showed their
appreciation by taking an active in
terest in the services. A horse thief
asked the girls to sing Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight" and passed
around song books for that selection.
Il want it understood that not only
did the prisoners enjoy the services,
but the deputies and I did," said Sher-
if Conard, last night.
The trip to the Frederick Jail is bu-
one of a series. of Sunday tours which
the college girls viii take to various
institutions in the city this term. On
November. 28, a trip was made to the
Home For The Aged" a prepared
program was given, including piano
selections and solos. On the same
day the Loats' and Episcopal Orphan
ages were visited. Stories were told
and games were played with the child.
ren at these institutions.
Visit Other Places.
On Sunday, November %, twelve of
the college students went to the City
Hospital, where a fine program was
given. Later the plan is to include
Montevue Hospital.
1t has been planned to have every
girl in the college make at least one
trip to these institutions or any one
of them. 1t is social service work
along lines as suggested by the Y. w.
C. A.
The students who participated in the
services at the Jail yesterday were:
Misses Alliene Dechant, Ethel Lowe,
Anna Book. Catherine Hotel, Esther

Gettig, Sara Given, Margaret Wehler
and Barbara Wineman.
For years it has been the custom 10
conduct services at the Frederick
Jail on Sunday afternoon for the pris-
oners. Those who conduct the serv-
ices are: Messrs. John Gomber, Lew

Fewer Employees at Montevue

Fewer Employees at Montevue.
Fewer employees are advocated for
Montevue. While the County Com
missioners have made a big reduction
in the maintenance of that institution
it is reported that by the elimination
of few of the employees and the abb
olition of some offices even a larger
saving can be effected These sugges-
tions have been made by several large
taxpayers of Frederick county.
Several of the County Commissioners,
when approached about the matter,
were non-committal 1t is reported
that some of the commissioners are
favorably disposed to this idea.
1t has been suggested that the
County Commissioners eliminate the
office of clerk at Montevue. The duties
OF clerk, explained this taxpayer
could be taken care of by the superin
tendent of the institution.
The present Board of County Com
missioners has cut the number Of en-
ployes at the institution. When the
county's insane was moved from the
building to State Institutions, several
nurses and wardens were found to
be useless.
There are enough men at the in
stitution in charge of the farm work
to run tract Of land three times that
size," said one man last night. "Of
course, | know that you can't expect
to save thousands of dollars by simply
abolishing offices, but some money
can be saved and the institution can
be operated just the same"
This brings up the old question Of
dlsposing of the building. The com
missioners hope ultimately to have the
State take them over. From reliable
source it is reported that some eff
fort might be made at the next ses-
sion of the Maryland Legislature to
have the State buy the building. The
county would then acquire a smaller
property.

About the Nightingale.

It is said that few birds lend them
selves to captivity so readily as the
nightingale. To be sure, they should
be confined in an aviary or a large
outdoor cage. The story is told Of
one nightingale which never sang
again after it went from its old owner
to a new one.
