IN BLOSSOM TIME.

In field and forest, on the hilltop and
down in the valley, Nature is unfold
ing the glorious miracle of springtime
Fair as the garden of the Lord" as
far as the eye can see, spreads the
splendor of the annual resurrection.
Where Yesterday there was but faint
tinge of green on trees that long had
been gaunt and bare, there is today a
profusion of white and pink, and ex-
hilarating is the fragrance that is watt
ed to the nostrils. For in night the
trees burst into blossom and wrought
the identifying transformation of the
landscape.
Over the meadows. long dismal with
their tufts of dead grass and their
barren stretches of earth, there has
spread a mantle of living green, in
which the morning dewdrops, touched
by the rays of the risen sun. sparkle
like diamonds. And on all sides the
eye is Toasted and the heart quickened
by the sight of clusters of forget-me-
nots, buttercups and other early visit
ants from the floral kingdom, each add
ing variety to the colors which Nature
provides so lavlshly. And from the
trees and from the fields come trills and
calls and piping notes, for the birds
have returned to their former abiding
places.

THE DIGNITY OF FARMING
BY THE COUNTRY PARSON.

| amused myself the other dav by
carefully reading thru a representative
city newspaper and clipping every news
item or article which had direct bearing
on the farm. No better evidence could
be adduced to prove that increasing at
tention is being given to agriculture by
all classes of the American people. The
day when the farmer was considered
joke and called ''hayseed" by smart
city people has passed. Perhaps the
high cost of living had something to do
with this change of attitude, but be the
reason what it may, the fact remains
that the farmer is being treated with
much more respect than he was wont to
receive.
Aside from the crop and market re-
ports, which, like the dairy and other
advertisements interest the city dweller
as much as they do the farmer, | found
in my issue of the Baltimore Sun of
a November date, dozen farm stories.
Several of them are worth quoting, in
condensed form:
Governor Supports Show.-Governor
Goldsborough will issue general pro-
clamation to the citizens of Maryland
in support of Maryland Week. The
committee has decided to take flash
light pictures each night during Mary
land Week of the crowds in attendance,
and these pictures will be distributed in
store windows at prominent corners.
Corn and Potato Congress. With ex-
hibits from almost every section of
Baltimore county, the annual Corn and
Potato Congress at the Agricultural
High School at Sparks will be opened
this afternoon. Speeches are expected
by representatives from the United
States Department of Agricultural
and the Maryland Agricultural College.
The Girls Flower Club will have an
elaborate exhipit of canned goods.
There was three-quarter column
story under the headlines. Stock

more County" The sub-heads of the

the germ. " West Virginia puts up

There was half column story on a
movement for the bringing to America
of large number of Belgians for set
Element on the vacant farmlands. There
was three-quarter column reprint
from Harper's Weekly of write-up of
Mr.. Lee Worsham, OF Atlanta. Ga,
who is called king Cotton's Right
Hand-Man," in which his successful
fight against the boil weevil and the
wilt or black rot is described.

IN DEMOCRATIC MARYLAND.

A pretty serious situation exists in
Maryland if the conditions as reported
by the chairman of the Industrial Ac-
cidentf Commission obtains throughout
the various governmental bureaus. The
chairman is alleged to have said. ''We
can stand off most of the bills, but
when are we going to pay our telephone
bill?"
Salaries have been held up.
The heads of various bureaus are
lending their departments money for
postage stamps.
This state has taxable basis of a
billion dollars.
Baltimore is spending million dollars
month for booze. .y..
The liquor traffic of Baltimore took in
$25, 900, 5000 during the year 1913. -
1t seems to US that MARYLAND is in, a
worse condition than West Virginia, for
she has the liquor revenue and still
faces deficit twice as large as that of
West Virginia

Oakland, Md

prompt payment in full of my fire in

ton by fire of my house on the 18th of

THE Democratic administration NAV
be sincere in Its assertion that the
army of unemployed is no larger than
usual, but it will at least be forced to
admit that some hundreds have had
their wages cut. If adoption of such
policies be necessary in government
affairs as result of business depression,
the administration can scarcely be
heard to deny that a similar course
must be followed by private enterprise.
The indisputaple fact is that in prac-
tically all industry, wages have been
cut or the number of employees reduced.

THIS is about the time when the
garden fever becomes epidemic and few
escape. However, it is a beneficial
contagion while it lasts and would add
greatly to the general health and hap
piness If it only lasted longer. Hours
in the open with the flowers and plants
and the stimulating labor necessary for
their growth are so many investments
in the bank of longevity where they
honor checks on healthfulness funds.

EVERY city, every town in every age
has had its knockers. They origi-
mated in the days of the Apostles and
they've been on the job ever since. 1t
is noticeable. nevertheless, that the
world has progressed in spite of them.
The only way to treat knoeker is to
ignore him. His only stock in trade is
talk which is about as effective as a
charge of powder without the shot
The knocker will either explode and
burn himself or go to sleep from hear
ing his own voice. In either event he
renders himself harmless to the public.

position OF being plain.

position Of being plain.
A law is only as good as it is enforced.
And we have to elect one official this
year that has the responsibility upon
him to carry out the law, and that is
the States Attorney. And it looks like
we shall have to try new man, as the
present incumbent has repeatedly said
tnat he will not be a candidate this
year. So in making our choice of a
candidate we should take into consider
alton the past record of the man, see to
1t that he was willing worker in get
ting the large majority for the temper
ance cause. See that he has the ability
to conduct the Office and man that
Will go after the offenders without fear
or favor. With this office in the hands
OF our friends we can feel practically
safe, but there is still another official
that is necessary to be the right kind of
man before the chain is solid. and
that is the sheriff We want q man
that will be able to see the violators of
the law.
If man turns his back instead of
attending to his duties, the law as it
stands will not amount to much. Keep
his record well before you when you
mark your ballot; if there is any damp
ness there, spot him for there are others
who are right.
With good temperance officials at the
helm believe that it can be easily
proven that the law will be a great i'm
provement over the present conditions,
and will be great pleasure to all who
worked so hard to get rid of the Booze
shops IN our county, Be careful in
your choice, vote only for men who are
straight, honest, and who you are sure
will work in harmony in the enforce
ment of the law.

My Bark -Eurh Mnthrr.
BY SARA ROBERTA GETTY.

Dear mother of NINE tho the years have been speeding
Since we carried you your grave the HILL
Yet your counsel and guidance today needing
And we long for a glimpse of your tender smile still.
The warm April sun in the evening sinking
AS you summoned your children about your sick bed:
How shyly came! half in awe little thinking
That morning dawned you would be with the dead
Mother of mine, l still see the deep yearning
In your beautiful eyes your children drew nigh
The farewell you spoke in my heart is yet burning;
Good bye, little girls; oh my children good byer'
For the Master your life you had always been spending
You taught us the meaning of Patience and Love.
And now you would leave your young life ending
On earth to continue through ages above.
We carried you out meath the sweet smelling flowers
The years that have passed have been than score
Yet the prayers that heard your knee still ours
And the thought OF your goodness abides ever more.
Rest dark-eyed mother! the flowers about YOU
Are waving their lullabies there where you sleep,
Our lives feel a void to be left here without you,
Yet your memory fresh in each heart we will keep
