after the conversation related took place, "but I'm afraid I'm not"
 Don't be discouraged, dear" said 'rhe Best O Husbands gently; I'm sure I'm coming on beautifully.''
 T don't know" she sighed pensvely. Now, I've read somewhere that some of these female writers for the news papers say that milk will clean white gloves beautifully and leave no stains. The result of this experiment is now hanging in the bathroom in the shape of a $2 pair of gloves totally and irretrev- ably ruined. and the joke of 1t all is that the quart of milk cost exactly one penny less than what I'd have paid the cleaner for doing the work. so economy No. I was dismal failure"
 "Cheer up, and don't get discouraged so easily" comforted ''The Best O Hus- bands with smile. We all have to pay the price for experience, and acci- dents will happen.'
 ''They will if you use gasoline to clean gloves with replied the little 12-months-

 'If you were doing yoar work in the kitchen and running the risk of making Mary mad" said "The Best O Illus bands,'' as if an inspiration had suddenly dawned upon him, why didn't you econ omize bit further and instead of vast ing electricity have her put an iron on the stove?'
 Not after the experience I had with her the last time we had company" de- murred the little 12-months-old bride You remember she spoiled the tomato bisdue and when 1 asked her what the matter was, she said she got all frus- trated because you came in the kitchen worrying her nearly to death looking Tor corkscreW. and upSettng every thing to find one.

Of course, answered her this way, as I saw storms ahead and l knew we'd rather employ the most expensive tailor in town to press your clothes than lose our one best bet of cook lady"
 "Of course, dear she aequiesced ''bc- sioes there are tailors and tailors, some cheap, some expensive. and we need not go to the one we have formerly been pa tronizing. quite agree with you that 1t would be better to even pay the tailor more than to lose Mary, or even make her peevish about such things.
 Wasn't that a good dinner we had to- night. said the little 12-months- old bridn as they left the table and went out Into tfe sun parlor where "The Best O Illus hands' made ready to enjoy his after dinner smoke.
 "Delicious,' said he with genuine en- thusiasm., "I guess you are right my dear. We will have to economize on the big things instead of the little ones ii such proceedings mean to 'ose us per feet good treasure of cook. We'll jus. go on having and doing the unimportant things and cut out some of the big ones."

anything very dreadful happened? From your expression I should say that the bottom has suddenly dropped out of the universe What is it?''
 Pulling himself together and looking very sober and sombre The Best O Illus bands said loftily:
 "I think we ought to discuss finances. These hard times, you know-the er-er war and this prohibition performance that's coming on and, well-in general the whole situation demands serious con sideration, and there's no time like the present.
 Having delivered himself of this start ling bit of information, "The Best O Husbandss settled back in his chair and waited. whereupon the little 12-months-old bride seated herself comfortably upon the arm of his chair, leaned over and pressed him sweetly, the perfume of her hair and the soft folds of her rose pink gown enveloping him in their fragrance, and forming sort of diaphanous cloud above his head.
 To look at her "The Best O Husbands had to turn squarely round. and then as he saw her fully 1t wasn't so simple, because she was so lovely, and so young, and so inexperienced; he just didn't see

ries because she reasoned, I may never have another chance. This one will have to support me, and if can't stand my life with him can divorce him.
 Such marriage carries in itself the seed of separation. l believe one of the most frequent causes of divorce is just this entrance into the marriage state for some other reason than love"
 It is a strong argument. this by a for mer chief executive of our nation. Think 1t over. you mother, and you father, and decide to give your girl not only as good an eouca ton as possible, but a training in some means of livelihood. This not only to enable her, if she marries, to marry man she loves, for you may be of those unromantic folks who think that doesn't much matter. But give her this chance so that she may not add another item to the work of the busy divorce courts, for you do want your daughter s marriage to be a lifelong one, don't you?

tobacco were completely negatived in the Crimean war. The privations suffered then by the troops resulted in officers and men taking to the panacea adopted hs' their French and Turkish allies. and by it's aid their discomforts were so al- lcviated that ever since the practice of smoking on active service has been coun- tenanced by those in command.
 In consequence tobacco has played a notable and beneficial part in the wars of the past century-in fact. from Wa teiloo to South. Africa. Probably it's soacing and inspiring qualities were never so strongly manifested as in the Franco-German war of 1870. It might be said. indeed, that the crushing de- feat inflicted on the French was due largely to the soldiers lack of tocacco. added, as 1t was, to the breakdown to the commissariat. whereas on the German side the authorities did all they could to insure the troops being plentifully sup piled with the weed.

Battles Won by Tobacco

From T1t-Bits.
 The value of tobacco on active serv- ice is now so well esteemed by the mili- tary authorities that today one sees the British government doing what 1t had never done before-supplying free tobacco to the troops.
 Only within comparatively recent times. however, has the necessity been officially recognized Wellington condemned the practice of smoking as baing "a species of intoxication occasioned by the fumes of tobacco"

For one of the most important offices
to be conferred upon any citizen of this
city and county, another aspirant has
announced himself-Mr. McGill Belt.
of Urbana District, is candidate for
State Senator. Sometime ago The CIT-
IzEN expressed itself in very strong terms
about the Importance of this office to the
people of this community, and the ne
cesSlty of having some one to be able to
meet the exigencies of the situation as
they present themselves to the taxpayers
of the county and State. Mr.. Belt feels
that his previous experience in the Leg
islature, to which he was elected by a
substantial majority in 1918. will enable
him to take care of the peoples interests
in this regard. and for this reason he has
come out for this important place. Mr..
Belt is very well known in this city and
county, having been most active in DO
lltical alters. He was born and raised
in Urbana District, his father having
been j. Lloyd Belt, very well-known
resident of that district also. At pres.
ent Mr.. Belt resides in the second pre-
clnct, about nine miles from Ur1ana.
where he is interested in farming and
real estate matters. Besides other bust.
ness connections. Mr.. Belt is director
of the Peoples Fire Insurance Company
OF this city. He earnestly urges bis
many friends to get behind him in the
fight for the nomination, and promises
them his very best efforts, not only to be
elected if chosen, but to give his mind
and thought to the interests of his con-
situency in Annapolis

To Encourage Athletics in Schools
Lime Kiln, Md.
May %, 1915.

To Encourage Athletics in Schools
For the first time in the history OF
the county the school commissioners
have fixed a definite policy by which
athletics shall be encouraged in the
schools of the county The commits
sioners at special meeting yesterday
went on record as favoring athletics
in the schools of the county, but will
not permit study hours and periods to
be devoted to athletic work. Super
intendent G. Lloyd Palmer and the
school commissioners will pass on
all plans for athletics in the schools
of the county. All schools will be re-
quired to submit schemes for athletic
activities during the school year of
1856 to superintendent Palmer who
will in turn present these plans to
the school commissioners.
Fifty-seven teachers of the county
have filed requests with Superintend-
ent Palmer to attend summer schools
in the various part of the country.
The school commissioners feel that
the voluntary action of the teaching
staff to become more proficient in
their work is very commendable and
that it will materially help the gener
al efficiency of the teaching for the
county.
The annual examination of teachers
of the county will be held in the Girls
high school on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of the week of June IA
The school board has the following
scholarships to award: Washington
College, one; Western Maryland, two;
Maryland Agricultural College, one;
and to the Maryland State Normal
School, IS, boys and girls. These
scholarship examinations will be held
during the teachers examinations.
The Harmony Grove school prop
erty has been sold to T. B. Hayward
for $500. The school was closed last
year by order from the school board
and requests from the patrons of the
school. The children of that section
are attending the schools of Freder-
lex.
The school commissioners have de-
cided to add Manual Training to the
course of instruction of the Middle
town high school,
Trustees for many of the schools
were named yesterday. Not complete
list has been named by the board of
school commissioners.
Work has been started on the VOLTS
vile school The building is to be
one of the finest school buildings in
that section of Middletown Valley.
