Asking their active support, conf
dence and friendship, Sydney E. Mudd
is sending letters to Republican lead
ers throughout the Fifth district mott
flying them formally of his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for Con-
gress.
Some time ago Mr.. Mudd stated that
he proposed to make a very active
campaign for this nomination. His let
ter is in keeping with that statement.
Mr.. Mudd is being opposed by Oliver
Metzerott. of this county. who is sup
posed to have the backing of Govern
or Goldsborough, Thomas Parran and
other administration leaders. Mr.
Mudd's strength rests upon the old
Republican organization.
Unusual interest attaches to the fight
because it will determine to a very
large extent which faction of the Rep
ublican party will hereafter be in con-
troll, not only in Southern Maryland,
but throughout the State.

Six Southern expositions on wheels

Each train will he composed ..
specially equipped display cars in
which will be exhibited the agricul-
tural and industrial products of the

will carry a corps of lecturers ami

Two of the trains will invade Canada,
moving to the far East and returning
to the South through New Englanl,
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-

The entire enterprise will be under

President and General Manager of tn :

up and operated the first seed corn

The principal feature of the travel

displays designed to show the mani

general farming live stock and hog
raising. The exhibits of corn, other
cereals, tobacco, cotton and forage
crops will be made especially strong
and comprehensive The travelling ex-
position will tour sections of the
country where the cereals and live
stock are the great agricultural pro-
ducts and where farmers are accus-

be featured for it is known that in

ment Of his parishioners, and for the
purpose of bringing to light any undis-

dormant among them, he instituted a
competition in wood carving, selecting
such subjects as man on horseback,
walking, blowing and performing sim

were startling. In practically every

If a rug is thrown over a burning
object it must be wrapped closely in
order to exclude air. The burning
goes on just the same as long as air is
present. Water for anything but an

over an alcohol blaze-or any other

it may be smothered easily. Pull down

own their own jobs. This is demon
strated by the fact that large pro-
portion of settlers who have gone in
to Southern trucking and fruit raising
have come from large canters of pop
ulation in Northern cities
In outlining plans under contem-
plation for the travelling expositions,
Mr.. Manss said:
In briee, our plans contemplate thu
installation of at least six travelling
Southern expositions in which will De
arranged, by skilled men, such eX-
hibits made at the Panama Exposition
by the states, railroads, land COM
panies, cities, counties, and associa-
tfons of the South as will meet the
requirements for a thoroughly repre-
sentative display of the agricultural,
industrial and civic South. Each train
will carry staff of lecturers and
demonstrators who, with the aid CT
literature, stereopticon slides and
motion picture films, will give illus
trated talks on the South, it's climate,
soils, cities, railroads, waters, noun
tains history, industries, and all its
possibilities and opportunities
1T is fortunate that these moving
expositions will be on the road during
the winter months when the norther9
and western farmer has the most lais-
ure time on his hands. Climate is the
unique asset of the South and no bet
ter season than winter could be select
cd to bring into sharp contrast the
winters of the South and the North

the South a farmer can make his farm
work all of, or almost all of the
twelve months in each year for him.
"Then there is another motive bacl;
of this contemplated enterprise, a
motive in which patriotism is the es-
sence and that is to check the imml-
grafton of the American farmer into
Canada. Canadian officials are boas--
irg that during the last decade nearly
million western and northern farm
ers, with an average of $1,000 in cash
and goods, have crossed the boundary
line to become Canadian citizens. 1t IS
