John D. Feitz, a citizen of this place,
died at his home on Walnut street, aged
So years, Z months and - days. Several
years ago the deceased was stricken with
paralysis, but after time he was able
to walk about town. Saturday last he
was again stricken, this being the cause
of his death.
Funeral services were held yesterda y

In MemOrium.
In sad but loving remembrance OF my
dear husband and our dear father, Jacob
w. Lidie, who departed this life one year
ago, Dec. 2, 1918.
Oh, God, what weight of sorrow
Must we, the loney ones, bear;
The silent room, the empty bed,
The lonely, vacant chair.

Panama Exposition.

With the closing of the gates to the
public on November &c. in order that the
last month of 1914 may be devoted en-
tirely to the rapid installation of foreign
and domestic exhibits, the San Diego
Exposition enters on the last lap of the
pre-opening period. On Dec. 81 at sun
set, gates will once more be thrown open
and at midnight, with the arrival of 1915,
telegraph flash from the White House
and the boom of the guns on the battle
ships in the bay of San Diego will open
officially the first all-year exposition in
history.
President Wilson will not be in San
Diego on New Years day and the tele-
graphed signal must serve as substi-
tute for his presence. Two months later,
according to Information from Washing
ton, the President will pass through the
Panama canal with the fleet of Ameri-
can battleships and proceed up the coast
to San Diego, the first port of call, for
a two day stay at the Exposition. He
will then move on to the north for the
sister exposition at San Francisco, which
will open on Feb'y 20. His stay in south
ern California will be marked by special
celebrations, notably the most impressive
of the Aztec ceremonies and tremend-
Gus showing of the midwinter flowers OF
southern California where frost never
comes.
Many reservations are now being made
at the local restaurants, more especially
those on the Isthmus and elsewhere in
the Exposition grounds, by large parties
from different parts of the west intent
on being in San Diego for the opening
night, looked upon as the "big night in
southern California history. Uniforms
for the Spanish bandsmen, the Spanish
dancing girls, the conquistadores who
will act as attendants and tho Balboa
guards. the name of the Pinkerton oper-
atives who already policing the grounds,
have arrived and the display is striking.
The whole atmosphere is Spanish.
The pigeons of the campaniles and cor
nices overlooking the Plaza de Panama
at the San Diego Exposition have now
become so tame that many of the colony
of 1900 will feed from the hands and
shoulders of the casual visitor as well as
the Spanish boy who has been training
them. The sight of the thick coveys
sweeping down from the lowered cover
ed walls is singularly like that at st.
Marks in Venice. The gorgeous pea
cocks which strut over the lawns in Las
Huertas de Montezuma and the pepper
grove, overlooking the Canyon Espanol
and the ocean, are fairly tame, and even
the myriad goldfish in La Laguna de las
Flores and the smaller lagunitas of the
botanical gardens have been trained to
rally at the sound of a gong which an
nounces the arrival of dinner time.

LOCAL OPTION AND PROHIBITION
IN MARYLAND.

Maryland does not have a general
local option law.
In order to vote on the question OF
license" or 'no-license' a special
act of the Legislature is required.
The last Legislature granted the
right to vote on the license question
to four counties, namely: Charles,
Carroll, Garrett and st. Mary's.
Charles, Garrett and Carroll coun-
ties have held their elections and St.
Mary's will vote August 3, 1915.
The act granting the vote in Cecil
county requires the question to be
submitted every four years. The
question cpme up again this year.
The dry" majorities in the coun-
ties voting are as follows; Charles
375, Carroll 1916, Garrett 1904. and
Cecil 1902.
As the result of these elections three
new counties are added to the no
license" territory of the State and
1O5 saloons must close May 1, 1915.
154S square miles are added to the
States "no-license" territory and
60, 435 to he" no license" population.
By special acts OF the last Legisla-
ture "no-license" district was Gre
ated in st. Mary's county closing 5
saloons. Petersville election district,
Frederick county, was made no
license" territory and five saloons in
Knoxville were put out of business
and no-lcense" district bordering
on the District of Columbia in Prince
George county was created closing 2
saloons.
For six years the Anti-Saloon
League contended for the passage OF
a general local option bill. After this
measure met with defeat for the third
time in the legislative session of 1912.
The League dropped the local option
question and started the war for State
wide Prohibition. A bill proposing
to amend the Constitution 80 as to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors within the State
was submitted at the 1914 session OF
the Legislature and went down to
defeat.
The Anti-Saloon League is now
busily engaged in perfecting plans
and organization for the purpose of
securing a Legislature that will sub
nit the question of Statewide Pro-
hibition to vote of the people. The
matter will be presented at the session
of the Legislature of 1916.

Apple wood, used almost exclus-
lively for saw handles, also furnishes
the material for many so-called brier
wood pipes and particularly for the
large wooden type used in printing
signs and posters.
One of the most expensive woods
used regularly in an established in
dustry in the United States is box
wood, the favorite material for wood
engraving. 1t has been quoted at

The Traction Engine Test.
Threshing Outfit Arrived At
Frederick Last Week.

The threshing outfit which was brought
from Cumberland to Frederick over the
State Road to demonstrate that the en-
CINE could be operated with smooth
wheels on steep grades, arrived in Fred
erick last week. Much has been said in
the local papers regarding the trip, the
State Road people claiming the trial a
big success.
Mr.. G. o. Grossnickle, OF Frederick,
has his opinion regarding the success
Of the trip and also of the assertion of
Frank H. Zouck in regard driving the
engine with only one wheel cleated.
The Frederick County Farmers Asso-
citation favors smooth banded traction
wheels and passed the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the members of the
Farmers Association commend the State
Roads Commission for its efforts to prove
by q practical demonstration that trac-
ton outfit can be hauled over State roads
with smooth wheels and that the bands
used are inexpensive and can be easily
replaced.
LAS interested taxpayers we further
recommend that the threshermen be re-
quested to cooperate by using this simple
method or some other equally effective
in protecting our improved roads from
possible damage"
1.-THE assertion of Frank H. Zouck, as
sistant chairman of the State Roads
Commission, that a traction engine can
be operated on State roads with one
cleated drive wheel, and the wheel equip
ped with smooth bands, is branded as
impracticable by George o. Grossnickle,
of the firm of Collins & Grossnickle. He
claims that the construction of traction
engine makes such move impossible.
"Mr. Grossnickle declares that the oper-
alton of traction engines in Frederick
county and on State roads causes no
more than ordinary wear and tear. in
reply to the impractical suggestion of
Assistant Chairman Zouck, of the State
Roads Commission to use smooth bands
on one drive wheel of traction engine
and cleats on the other" he continued,
81 want it understood that this is simply
impossible
