School Exhibition Day

Wednesday was School Exhibit Day
for Cecil county and teachers and pu-
pills from all parts of the county gath
cred at Elkton for the parade and eX-
ercises. Some 1000 children, accom-
panied by their teachers and several
bands of music, made an impressive
showing as they marched through the
streets, carrying their school banners
and Maryland and National flags. The
parade was followed by d lunch serv-
ed at the High School Building, after
which speeches were delivered by DR..
j. f. O'Brien, of the U. S. Depart
ment of Education and by DR.. NJ,
Bates Stephens, State Superintendent
of Education.
At the conclusion of the speeches
there were out-of-door athletic con-
tests, amongst them baseball game
between the Elkton and the Calvert
High Schools, in which the former
came off winner by the score of 6-3.
In the High School building We're
exhibits of the work being done by the
various schools of the county and
they were viewed by many of the visi-
tors.
The raw, cold, lowering weather did
much to mar the gala spirit of the
occasion, which was otherwise quite
successful.

letic Club team of Elkton by the score
of to 3, in one of the most interest
ing games that has been played here

consecutive hits by Marcus, Heath,
and King and scored twice in the

Heated, and both scored on Kings
single. This put the Elkton boys in

But the acts of the Theatre of God
never pail. They live as long as mem
ory lasts, and in the end they lift us
to the realms of perpetual joy.
1t is good that we enjoy life-that
we seek recreation-thatw we find hon
orable means of driving dull care
away.
But it is even better that we include
in our program, weekly visits to that
theatre which is the essence of all
goodness, of all greatness, and of
every bliss.
In mapping out our course for the
winter months let US set aside each
Sunday for visit to the greatest of
all theatres, the Theatre of God.
And much wisdom, peace and con-
tentment will be our earthly reward
There is room for US all, and no
ticket is required at the door

Maryland Poultry Raisers Should In
crease F!ocks
College Park, Md.

College Park, Md.
In an interview, Professor Roy H.
Waite, Poutryman at the Agricultural
Experiment Station, urged that poul-
try keepers in the State aim to in
crease their production during the
coming year owing to conditions
abroad. He said in part, "Production
has been seriously crippled in large
area of the world and there is going
to be sudden demand for poultry
products sometime during the coming
winter.
Will the Maryland poultry raiser he
prepared to step in and help furnish
food for the world! Present low
prices cannot long continue. The
markets report that the movement of
poultry is sluggish and the fact that
the prices today are lower than usual
at this time of year seem to indicate
that poultry is being dumped on the
market on account of the rising cost
of feed. Hold on to all the pullets and
year old hens you can for there is
bound to be a reaction, but of course
don't over stock and run too much
risk of disease.
On account of the present high cost
of feeds it will be necessary for you
to practise the most rigid economy in
the matter of feeding. Economy,
however, doesn't always mean cutting
down on feed, but it does mean adjust
most profit will be realized. Utilize
ing the outlay and income so that the
all available waste products and when
you buy, purchase the lower priced
feeds, providing their feeding value
justifies their use"

Worse Things Than The War

The greatest war since time began
is raging in Europe, with ramifica-
tions in eastern Asia, and on the seas
and in various colonial possessions of
the contending powers. The whole
world mourns the cost in suffering and
waste, in loss of lives and property.
War is indeed terrible. The sor-
rows of the widows and orphans must
move the hardest heart to pity, and
economists regret the useless dissipa-
tion of the fruits of mans toil-the
works of art he has created the build
ings he has erected, the bridges and
railways and ships he has constructed
and the food which he has produced
from the earth by his toll. Humanity
and economic reasons both cause US to
deplore the slaughter of thousands of
men, all in their prime and period of
greatest usefulness. Another serious
consequence which follows war, is the
lowering of moral standards through
the excesses of the camp.
But war is inevitable. So long as
there is greed and lust upon the earth,
so long will there be fighting. So long
as peaceful and Industrious peoples
develop fair lands and acquire desira-
BILE possessions, so long will covetous
nations attempt to take away from
them the fruits of their labor. So long
as nations become overcrowded and
men can find no room for the exercise
of their energies, so long will they at
tempt to overrun the lands of their
neighbors. In such cases the attacked
clansmen must fight to retain both
their possessions and their honor, and
no matter how terrible war may ap-
pear, it is the lesser of two evils. Slav-
cry and dishonor are worse than death.
AS Macaulay, the sweet singer, put
the words in the mouth of the Roman
Horatius.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late,
Then how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his gods?

The Gr latest OF All Theatres

In a few short weeks the winter
nights will be upon us, and our
thoughts will turn again to the thea
tre and to other forms of amusement
But there is one theatre which we
should keep ever in our minds-which
should have first place in our thoughts
first call upon our time and our
energies-which is capable of afford
ing US greater enjoyment than all
others combined.
1t is the Theatre of God!
1t is the church!
Varied forms of amusement are
right and should be encouraged. They
are necessary to a proper development
of mind and body.
But the Theatre of God is essential
to the proper formation of character
to the creation of zeal in the service of
Right-to the incubation of ideals OF
honor and justice in the hearts of all
peoples.
Other theatres come, and thrive, and
pass away.
But the Theatre of God lives for
ever
1t can never die.
Others afford us amusement for the
moment.
