THAT UBIQUITOUS PEST
SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST
Is Due TO Visit Western Maryland
This Year.

The periodical cicada or so-caled
seventeen year locust in an unique in
sect in point OF longevity and subter-
ranean in existence. This insect is
peculiar in America and appears in diff
ferent broods in various parts of the
country.
1t is now known that there are two
distinct races of the cicada. one requir-
ing seventeen years to complete Its de-
velopments and the other but thirteen
years. In the main the former oc-
cuples the northern and northeastern
part of the United States, while the
latter occurs in the southern portions
of the country.
However while the extent of their
ranges is such that the two races ran
yes overlap considerably, Maryland
does not have broods of the thirteen
year race, but the visit Of the seven
teen year cicada this year will be watch
ed very closely.

state will be most effected and Gar
rett county farmers and orchardists
should be prepared.
The story of the life of the cicada is
interesting but its ravages are what
should receive most attention. Young
fruit trees, nursery stock and young
shade trees often suffer, while any tree
that has been given fresh wounds, by
such work as pruning, etc, will es-
pecially be affected. Every kind of
bird finds the cicada a choice article of
diet, but especially the English sparrow
His natural enmity to this insect is his
apparent only redeeming trait.

while small and unusually valuable
trees may be covered with mosquito bar
or cheese cloth, during the time the

A Temperance
Talk to Voters
BY
JASON KEEP

Are you nearer to or farther away
from those little wings, than when you
lisped those little prayers at your
mothers knee? Looks bad, dosen't it?
Having taken stock, now let US get
busy and build up few credits OH the
ledger that will be used in our final
settlement on that last great day. Let
US put at least one temptation from be-
fore our face and from the pathway of
our children. Let US take the hard
est one first. The most suitable, most
persistent, most far reaching, the most
dangerous to health, salty and life
King Alcohol.
You know that the saloons are
standing temptation to degrade, wreck,
and destroy the sobriety, manhood and
lives of the community.
There is not one single reason why
alcoholic drinks should be sold as bev-
erage, in any community. and every
reason why it should not be sold. Sit
down and do some honest thinking on
the subject.
If you build factory, you are Very
careful to place the shafting and belt
ing in position of safety to the en-
ployees.
Youguard against leaving any danger
Gus holes or other meuaces. You do
this for two reasons. You would feel
remorse if some of your employees
were hurt or killed through your neg
ligence. The other reason is that you
be held crimnalIy liable, and might
have to pay heavy damages and per-
haps have to go to the pen.
Now you are a stOckholder in the
larger corporatiOn-the community
and as a good citizen you must help to
remove the pitfalls and snares from
the pathway of your children. You
cannot shirk the responsibility. There
are 152, 900 poor souls die drunkards
eveY year in the United States. Has
it caught any of your children yet?
Can you afford to take chances?
There is no neutral grounds; you are
either for the saloon or against them.
Can you afford to be in favor of the
saloons?

Mrs. William Moore, a witness. told
in vivid and circumstantial way how
a kiss from Or. Price had led to what
she called a tragedy in her home.
"A kiss is a small thing some
times" she said, but in my home it

Recollections

As we we look back to childhood S
hour, how well do we remember that
lrst little rayer we learned to lisp at
Eur mothers knee.
.' Now lay me down to sleep" then
the little addition, God bless papa
and mama and every body. Amen. "
We said that little prayer in conf
dence that our petition would be grant
ed.
AS we grew older this was followed
by that beautiful and all embracing
petition, THE Lords Prayer"
Yes, we remember it, but in what
spirit do we repeat it, if we repeat it
now? Lead US not into temptation
but deliver US from evil -
We rush through it by express, and
act as if we were scared to death for
fear our petition might be granted. A
groundless fear, as long as we are do
ing all we can to keep temptation with
IN easy reach our petitions will not rise
higher then the ceiling.
Mankind at best is weak and it
doesn't take much of temptation to
get half-nelson on the strongest JUS
We may deny it strenuously, but
away down in our hearts we know it to
be true, and all the noise is to deceive
others, and, possible, ourselves.
Now. honestly don't you think it
policy to remove as far as possible the
temptation from before our face. At
least the most dangerous ones?
We all expect to make good before
we die. We look around at our neigh
bors and say to ourselves. Pm bet a
cookie some of those old boys will hit
the ironworks, and if they ever get
wings, they will look like Pittsburgh, F"
while we are on the same road but
will switch off just in time to win a
little harp,
But say, isn't 1t little dangerous?
The switch might be locked and the key
in our other pants. Then we could
meet the other boys at the ironworks
There would be quite reunion but the
weather might not be all that one could
wish.

single one proves anything at all in
favor of Sunday as a Sabbath. Care
fully examined they prove the reverse.
Another thing l want to call First
Days attention to is this, had Christ
changed the commandment. as he
claims, is it not reasonable to suppose
that one Of his apostles would have
made some mention Of it?
Matthew wrote six years after Christ
and he spoke of Sunday as the first day,
not the Christian Sabbaah. Matt. z8:l.
Mark wrote ten years after Christ.
He calls the seventh day the Sabbath,
and the day following, the first day,
Mark 1911.
Luke wrote twenty eight years after
Christ, and gives the days of the week
in this order: the preparation day, the
Sabbath and the First day. John wrote
sixty three years after Christ and he
observes the same order; no change.
Christ was explicit when he gave
IiiCill q iiCW JUO.
"A new commandment | give unto
you, etc" He also speaks plainly when
his teachings disagreed with those of
the prophet Matt. 5: 1884 38-39) and
tells US in no uncertain language that
they had been taught certain things,
but He commanded them different.
Now do you suppose for an instant that
had He wished to change one of the Ten
Commandments that He would not have
been just as explicit or even more so?
Will First Day" please express his
honest convictions on this point?
Christ lived our example. He never
kept the first day of the week as sacred;
He ever kept the Sabbath, (Jno. 1910
and commanded US to do likewise IF
ye love me keep my commandments. "
Jno. 14:l5. Again we are told to fear
God and keep his commandments for
this is the whole duty of man. Feel.
1913. blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of life and may enter
IN through the gates into the CITY,"
But where is the commandment to keep
Sunday? It's not in the bible. 1t is IN
the Roman Catholic catechism together
with the declaration that there is no
scrlptdral authority for it.
First Day says G. w. Els summary
is without foundation. and is contrary
to the teaching of the New Testament.
| know that the summary was a poser
for him. If he could have found one
passage of scripture to refute "a point
made in it, it would have been produced
in big letters, but he could not do it,
and | will give him till "dooms-dav in
the morning" to do so but he never will.
In conclusion let me say to First
Day if he poses as a champion of that
unscriptural institution and teels it his
bounded duty to challenge the teachings
of the Seventh Day Adventist, | am
sure can find him a man who will
meet him on the public platform. and
hold his own to the binding claims of
the Seventy day Sabbath. | will 90

and let the public hear both sides, from

arguments. G. w. E.

APPLICATION FOR LICENSE.
No. 81 March Term. 1911.
In Repetition of G. l. Lovegold Tor
Licenses to Steal Horses.
Hon. John Fairmind, Judge of court
Of quarter sessions of Almostany Coun-
ty, State of Pennsylvania:
II hereby make application for
special licenses to steal horses. | am
willing to pay literally for the privi-
lege. am embodied to make this APP
plication by reason Of other special
privileges petitioned for about this time
of year by other citizens of good moral
character. The business for which they
are asking license produced at least
three-fourths of all the crime commit
ted in the county the last year. 1t has
filled our borough lockups and the
county Jail. 1t has made our criminal
court the most expensive in the history
of the county.
The business for which | ask a IL
cense ! deem less injurious to the com
munity than the business of selling in
toxicating liquors either at wholesale
or retail.
u. l pledge myself not to take
away the senses of any man nor rob his
purse.
20. obligate myself not to cause
men to beat their wives, damn their
children into the world, commit muir
der, or raise he'll in the community. |
only want to steal their horses.
81. And if man has a soul, which
most men consent to, | promise to do
nothing to destroy this germ of immor-
tally, but leave it to its own moral
course. | only want to steal horses.
II I furthermore, solemly prom
Use that if the licenses Is granted | will
not steal horses on Sunday, nor on cleo
ton day, nor on legal holidays, nor
after ten O'Clock at night | also sol
EMMY promise not to steal colts, nor
horses that have no sense, or old
broken down plugs.
"5. Your honor will see the license
l pray for will result in less harm to
the community than license to sell
Intoxicating liquors. OF course, may
damage the property of a few well-to
do people, but their bodies, their minds,
their regulations, and character | am
above impairing. | only want to steal
their horses.
''6. | would further enforce nv
application by reminding the court that
you can't run the county without the
license fee; that if | don't steal horses
somebody else will; that all attempts
to prohibit horse stealing only result in
producing sneaks and liars; that I am
a liberal contributor to the political
jackpot, and that 4 control more votes
than most of the other applicants for
license
II also call the attention of your
judicial mind to the number and (espe-
cially) character of those subscribing
to my petition.
Trusting you will grant my petition,
