RURAL MINISTER'S CONFERENCE
At AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Will Meet Early In August For the
Discussion Of Country Life
Problems.
B. H. BARROW.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The country church is continually
under fire by critics who declare that
1t is not fulfilling it's function, that it
does not stand for something vital to
the needs of the average man and
woman. If this be true, it is a seri.
Gus condition indeed.
That there is some truth in the
statement is now admitted by any
minister who has studied the prob.
lem, but the fact remains that the
rural church has done a wonderful
work in the past and should be
sparingly criticised except where criti-
cisrl may bring about constructive eff
fort toward betterment Countrywide
has changed rural institutions have
weakened and some have disappeared
entirely. Here and there we find a
fourishing country church, alive to the
needs of it's neighbor house and rec
ognized as the most necessary organ.

The country minister of Maryland is
awake, as is demonstrated by the
Rural Life Conference for Ministers
which will be held at the Maryland
Agricultural College, August 4, 5. 6.
Every minister in the State is being
urged to attend and should receive q

THESE DON'T FIGHT.

The advantages of caponizing are
that the birds become more docile and
can be managed easier, their. flesh is
OF better quality and they can be
raised to given weight on less feed
than can cockerels They also bring
a higher price on the market than
most any other fowl.
Simple though explicit instructions
for performing the operation accom-,
pany the caponizing instruments solo

FIGHTING 1T OUT.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Anyone having little nerve and
some mechanical ability can quite
easily learn to caponize we'll enough
to operate on the males of small fiocks.
The operation looks difficult but really
1t is very simple one. 1t is simple
because of the nature resistance birds
have to the attacks of bacteria. 1t
seems strange that the intestinal
cavity of birds can be opened up in
so crude a manner without disastrous
results but such seems to be the case.
Antiseptics are not even used as a
rule because they would faint the flesh
and If the bird happened to be killed
during the operation, it would not be
so good for food.

Controversy Over DIR. Hoffman s
Will.

BY filing an exception to the report of
the trustees and the audit. made in the
case, legal steps were taken on Monday
morning, July 18th, by the heirs of the
late DR.. Charles Hoffman, who at one
time lived in this city, towards setting
aside his will. The exceptions to the
report and the audit were made by At
torneys Stoner and Weinberg, OF Fred
erick, and Frank NJ Stevens, of Wash

which is now the Peoples Fire Insurance

IN trust for certain relatives, naming
Benjamin F. Reich and Henry Williams
as trustees. These trustees resigned,

VIII stipulated that when certain persons
mentioned IN the will had died that the
estate was to be divided as follows: To
Georgetown University, the sum of
$4,000 for its library. Mount Saint
Mary's College was left the remainder of
the estate with this wording in the will:
The rest to the President and Coun.

Prices For Dogs Raised

Since the induction into office of Dog
Catcher Ephraim Eyler, catching howl,
ing dogs has not been a bowling success.
So far this week three dogs have been
caught, and last Friday three which had
been impounded, were killed. Instead
OF getting your dog back now for 81, as
was the case formerly, it now takes two
bucks to recover canine picked up by
the dog catcher. Formerly when dog
was caught and returned. the owner had
to pay 81, and il the dog was killed the
dog catcher received 81. Now the
prices have been evened up. and he gets
81 in either case. Prices continue to 90
up and the cost OF living increases.

Hagerstown Lays off Men.

A number of street hands were laid
of in Hagerstown last week becau. e
there were no funds in the city treasury
to meet the bills. This condition was
brought about by the deadlock between
the Republican Mayor and the Dem
ocratic CITY Council. the latter refusing
TO confirm Mayor SCOTS appointment
for TaxColector.
THERE'S plenty of money available for
the city's expenses and bond redemp
tons, but there is no legally authorized
tax collector to receive the citys money
As the result of the laying off of the
street hands the streets are not being
swept, and all repair work and street
paving has been stopped Only few
hands have been retained to oil the
streets. 1t is understood that for several
weeks one of the Street Commissioners
has been meeting the weekly payroll bv
payments from his own private funds.

.FL0UTS SUGGESTION
TO CALL WAR DRAWN
Supposed Inspired Statement Says
England Aims to Crush Ger
man MiIitarism.

LONDON, Oct. 1h-The Vestmin
|ster Gazette prints an apparently in
|spired statement which is taken as an
|ansWer to the renewal Of hints OF
peace from Washington. The paper
lis in closer touch with the govern.
ment htan any other.
The statement reiterates that
while Great Britain has no desire tC
crush or humiliate the German peo
pie there must be no mistake about
the fact that she intends to take
whatever political measures are nee
|essary to crush German m:litarism
ITO the suggestions the Gazette
says, that we shall be content with
IA drawn war which leaves the Ger,
man Empire under the same influ.
|ence and with the same policy and
methods to disturb our peace and @
)theraten our safety until eventually
we fall prey to it we can return but
one answer.
"At whatever cost we mean to
prevent that, and whatever means
may be necessary to proevnt it we
mean, in the faithful combination of
our allies, to take"
Pioneer press. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1882-19??, 1914-10-17

One or two Negro newspapers have
been inaccurate enough TO make the
statement tina, Hon. A. Rustem Bey,
Turkish Ambassador to the United
States knew nothing about the Negroes
if he thought they would form an alli-
ance with the Japanese. Why anyone
could get such an impr ession as the one
stated above, is a mystery TO US because
at no time, nor in any of his published
interviews has he said anything that
would lead anyone to believe that there
was the remotest possibility Of Negroes
and Japanese banding together against
America. Whether Mr.. Bey's aenti-
ments suited those who read them or
not. what he said should not be distor,-
ed and made to suit the fancy of the
little minded fellows, but he should be
treated fairly. or one thing all Ameri-
cans are assured-he ia man who SAYS
what he means, and means what he
says.

Messrs. Nj. Il. Whittico and T. Ed

ing separated from the gentlemen we
name above by nearly four hundred
miles, it is not our privilege to know
EVERY detail of the matter, but from
what we have learned, after careful
scrutiny OF certain facts, it appears to
us that these brave editors are simply
undergoing prosecution because thew
sought to protect lone colored woman

cause she had been assailed by certain
officers Of the law. This being so. we
can see nothing for them but a prompt
acquittal when they face Judge Keller
and jury when their caee is called for
trial. Here is hoping for their exoner-
alton, because they are always on the
firing line, never failing to defend the
race from assaults made on it both
from within and without.

The Pioneer Press is in hearty accord
with the onslaught made on immoral
ministers by the Philadelphia Tribune,
and congratulates it for doing 80. 1t is
also deserving of the most earnest com.
mendation for what it said relative to
those wearers of the cloth who attended
the recent National Baptist Convention
10 Philadelphia, and disgraced them
selves to an extent seldom reached by
men of the world.' Above everything
else we need clean ministry, and men
and women Of our race in all 81 ctione
should hold up the hands of the Tribune
in it's effort along that line.
