THERE is growing interest in the
great Bible Conference to be held at
MountainiLake Park August 7th to 10Th
inclusive. Supt. Reed is receiving or
ders for season tickets from all parts
of the country. An Episcopal clergy
man of Wheeling, W. Va, ordered two
tickets Monday. By the payment of
$1.O0 extra, a seat may be reserved for
the entire ten days. A season ticket
costs 81. There will be three big ex-
cursion days, Bryan day, Sunday school
day andssTemperance day. Special ex-
cursion trains will be run and low ex-
cursion rates will be given for these
days. We speak of this great confer
ence at this early date, so that our Car
rett county people may be posted on
this great event and have time to get
their affairs in shape so that they may
hear these eminent speakers. Bishop
Hughes is almost a Garrett county boy.
In the early days his father was a
Methodist preacher in this section of
the country and was one of the original
cottage owners and founders of the
Park. The Bishop has won a great
reputation as bralny man, forcible
speaker and a great instructor. Do not
miss this event of life time.

A DEMOCRATIC CRIME.

One of the greatest crimes charge.
able against the Underwood tariff bill is
the practical destruction of the Amer.
can sugar industry. There is nothing
psychological about it, as President
Wilson knows by this time from the
revolt of the Louisiana Democrats.
Congressman Fordney, of Michigan,
contributes some interesting facts with
regard to the effect OF the Democratic
tariff on the industry. He is firmly OF
the opinion that the reduction in the
sugar tariff is rapidly sounding the
death-knell of the industry, and that
its only salvation is the redeeming Of
the country from Democratic rule.
Mr.. Fordney has obtained figures
showing that thirty-six Louisiana sugar
estates have gone out of business since
the passage of the Underwood tariff law,
last October. OF these, twenty-four
have gone into the hands of receivers,
and twelve have been seized bv the
sheriff because of court action for debts.
In Michigan the situation of the sugar
industry is only slightly better, accord
ing to Congressman Fordnev. The
Michigan factories are still running, in
the hope that Republicans will even
tually come into. power and make a
change in the tariff. The Michigan
factories will make no profits this year.
They make about 25 cents on hundred
pounds, while the New York sugar
retiners declare that they must make &C
cents per hundred in order to live.
A few days ago New York sugar
refiner rushed into print with state.
ment claiming that the consumers are
getting cheaper sugar under the reduc.
ed Democratic tariff. On the very day
when he issued his statement the quota
ton of the New York refners (includ-
ing his own company on refined sugar,
wholesale, was 4.30 cents pound.
Exactly one year previously. before the
reduction of the tariff, the wholesale
price of refined sugar was APO cents a
pound. In other words, with the tariff
third of cent lower, sugar sells at
wholesale ten cents a hundred higher.
1t is difficult for the consumer to extract
much comfort from this showing.

This is a hat with considerable dura-

Flowers, SO much in evidence on

pend on ribbon alone for decoration.

BUSINESS AND THE TARIFF
Secretary McAdoo Tells a Little Story
to illustrate What He Thinks
Effect viii Be.

Since both the tariff and the cur

that newspaper men should go there
to query the chiefs with questions
about their probable effect on bust
ness.

Gently, there's nothing to it. The
country has been subjected to revi-
sions before, and always has survived
them successfully. Generally speak
ing, the attitude of business is of re-
ceptive Indifference toward the
changes that have been made, because
business men have made up their
minds not to let such things interfere
with their business. 1t is just like

Thus far the aforementioned &C.

Simple waists of plain net or Of
lace are to be had in the department
stores at a very reasonable price,
that is in the neighborhood Of two or
three dollars. Or a foundation waist
may be made a very little cheaper at
home. But those to be had in the
shops are cut on good and u~p-to-date
lines. These waists make the best
of foundations on which to drape the
