Asked To Use The Split
Log DragS.

The twenty or more committees

parts of the county to make a whirl-
wind campaign in the interest of
good roads. Committees are to work
in every neighborhood at the same
time, except that the local magis-
trate will go from one neighborhood
to another in his district. Several
farmers and at least one business
man from the city will serve on
each committee.
Indications are that the weather
will be fine and big days work is
to be done.
Farmers are to be called upon in
dividually and organized to work
their own roads with split log drags,
the county agreeing to furnish the
drags and lumber for culverts. On
the pike roads they will be asked tc
haul the crushed stone furnished by
the county and keep their own road;

FOOD POUND DISCOUNT

Consider the lard dish. 1t is a
thin shell of wood, featherlike IN its
bghtness. The grocer obligingly
gives it free with the pound of lard.
Would it astonish you, Mrs. House
wife, to learn that this thoughtful
act of the grocer, multiplied a few
billion times throughout the country,
represents in subtractcd weight of
lard, where the law so permits,
$4,000, 900 annually? Figures show
that these insignificant little wooden
dishes, used for the sale of lard and
butter, take the place of the COM

money to build and endow a uniyer-
sity or a great laboratory for scien-
tific research.
1t may be that if a full pound of
any commodity were given exclusive
of the weight of its package the
price would correspondingly 60 up.
There is reason to believe that some
former 12-ounce pounds of food ad-
vanced in weight 1918 per cent to
16-ounce pounds have also advanced
in cost to the consumer 80 I-2 per

served that Carranza and Villa have
maintained a masterful, a really
most significant silence, from the be-
ginning of this affair at Tampico.
They have done no clustering, made
no silly proclamations, INDUCED no
staggering. They don't propose to
be dragged into the business of de-
Tending the "fatherland" against
their own friends, just because
Huerta would like to have them join
forces with him in the common
cause" If there has ever been rea-
son to fear that our intervention
would unite all Mexicans against US,
that reason does not exist now. The
Carranza party has made plain that
it will not lose it's head and follow
any jingo leadership that spells ruin
of their cause.
There will be no war in Mexico if
the more powerful faction of the
Mexicans themselves continues this
sensible, practical, sane attitude to-
ward the United States. And there is
every reason to expect that it will
do so. Why need we intervene when
the business of cjecting Huerta is

there is all assurance that Carranza

confectioners and bakers. Mr.. Will
Jams emphasized his belief that deep
deep thought, not emotion, was re-
sponsible for the dozens of con-
versions Sunday had made among

MARYLAND AUTO
T. LICENSE LAW.

It is altogether regrettable that
Maryland should insist on the un-
friendly attitude toward the District
OF Columbia that is represented by
its automobile license law. The mo-
florists of this District are singled
out for special and discriminating
treatment in Maryland. Motor driv-
ers from no other State are subject
ed to the conditions imposed on those
from the District of Columbia.
Whether this attitude constitutes a
violation of the Federal Constitution,
1t certainly does violate the proprie-
ties Of friendly and neighbcrly rela-
tionship in a startling way.
Maryland and the District are Pc
culiarly intimate in their relations.
The District is to all physical pur-
poses part of Maryland. Its growth
is fast carrying the Capitals suburbs
out into adjacent parts of Maryland.
The line of division is imaginary,
save in a political way. There is
every reason for the cultivation of
mutually amiable and neighborly at
titudes, rather than for the estab-
hshment of restrictions that in the
end must arouse asperities and re-
suit In mutual disadvantages of the
most serious kind. Washington is
one Of the great markets for Mary
land products, its population is in a
very large part of Maryland origin,
many hundreds of its people maintain
and are proud of their citizenship in
Maryland. Such i conflict as has
been growing up between two such
communities, over so Insignificant a
detail as motor license law, is un-
susdhable and picayunish.

from persons best able to Judge,
what are the results of his work.
The overwhelming pronouncement
in Scranton is that Sunday has
done there a three-fold good. Clergy
men, almost to n man, say he mas
helped the churches. Public Of
ficials say he has lessened crime
and made for better citizenship.
Bus:uess men assert that his cam
paign has put dollars and cents into
their pockets through increased et-
ficiency of their employees.
Over in Wilkesbarre they have
had longer to size up Billy sundays
work. He visited that city one year
ago. From a twelve months per-
spective-plenty of time for emo
ttonalism to spend itself-the verdict
practically was the same as IN
Scranton.

Sunday already has made big
charges in this community, said
Chief Day. 1T is too early yet to
realize their fun extent. But his
influence already is felt in fewer ar
rests for drunkenness and offenses
growing out of intoXication.
I'VE know how some men have
been living, and the police force
has marveled at the change in their
lives. Ten or twelve of my men
have been so impressed with Sun
days preaching that they have hit

THE BABIES, BATTLE.

Problems Of statecraft increasing.
ly resolve themselves into problems
Of the child. Various countries have
tried to increase their stock of
babies; some have RENTED taxation
for fathers; Canada has given a
bounty to the parents of three dozen;
France has admitted the mother of
twenty-five to the Legion of Honor.
Shrewder than the bid for higher
birth rate is the attempt to lower
the death rate, not merely because
lives are saved, but because illness
and unfitness are prevented among
those that would have survived in
any case.
In this most important of all con-
sarvation policies New Zealand is

United States. Her success cannot
b ascribed to agricultural condi-
tons, for with rigorous inspection of
milk and with efficient public health
commissions our cities are nowadays
safer than our rural districts.
