Editorial
What the Leading Papers
Think Of Germany'S Answer

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE editorially says in part
.sWe have come, then, to the crisis. There is left
only the possibility that what Germany has threatened
she will not do. We can, and the Tribune believes
we should recall Ambassador Gerard, since further
negotiations seem impossible the honor of
the nation is in his (Pres. Wsons) keeping and the
making of the future will be shaped by his decisions
Since Abraham Lincoln no man has borne graver re-
sponsbiity but this time he is of the support Of
a united country, nation and people. But while
waiting patiently and confidently upon his decision,
let us not blind ourselves to the issue shrink from
the eventualities" THE New YORK WORLD says:
..We do not hold our rights subject to anybody's
supervision We are not likely to surrender any of
those rights to q nation that does not have a single

Contract Awarded to Brady Bros.

Without any argument or contro-
versy whatever the board of aldermen
Monday awarded the contract for the
installation of the Fishing Creek re-
lief water main to Brady Bros, of
Frostburg, Maryland, the lowest bid
der. The contract price is about $4,-
1926. The bid of the firm quotes 12,-
inch cast iron pipe at 81 cents, 6 inch
pipe at 80, excavation at 2.75.
The firm according to their bid pro-
misses to complete the work within
rs days after the job has begun.
Joseph NJ Brady, a member of the
firm, appeared at the meeting last
evening and said that just as soon as
his bond had been filed with and ac-
cepted by the city, that the firm was
ready to begin work on the contract,
at once
Mr.. Brady in talking to the alder
men relative to the rights of way,
said that it would be possible to do
the work on strip of land from to
10 feet wide. The aldermen asked that
the firm keep within the right Of way
limit, through private property which
is 16 feet.
An ordinance was passed last even
ing giving the board of aldermen the
right to enter into eondemning pro-
ceedings in the event that any trouble
was experienced in securing rights
of way through private properties.
The contract was awarded to Brady
Bros, by majority vote with Alder
men Elmer McC. Phebus voting against
the measure. AT the meeting last
week when bids for material were
awarded there was some discussion
relative to the awarding of the con-
tract to local bider who declared he
was willing to do the work for the
lowest price quoted in the bids. This
was explained at the board meeting
last evening.

Too Many Girls Ignorant Of Gull
nary Art.

Inferring that an extraordinarily
small number of girls of the present
age were sublimely ignorant of the
culinary arts, and that the Frederick
county school commissioners were to
be commended for adopting the policy
of extending home economics into
every high school in the county, Mrs.
B. John Black, of near Baltimore, on
Saturday night in an address to mem
bers of the Jefferson Grange urged
the adoption of home economic courses
and the glazing need of education for
young women along practical lines.
Mrs Black was given a tremendous
ovation from the members of the
grange, composed of both men and
women.
Mrs. Black is member of the COM
mittee on domestic science of the Nat
ional Grange association, and in her
address gave some very interesting
statements in regard to the progress
made in the establishment of home
economic courses in schools of the
country. She declared that the school
authorities of the various states had
begun to realize the Importance of
education along home economic lines
for girls of the country.
Urging that efforts be made to or
ganize county grange, composed of
five distinct and separate oranges, B.
John Black, master of the Maryland
State Grange, in an address to the
members of the Jefferson Grange,
spoke of the value of such organiza-
tons in solving community problems.
He spoke in complimentary terms
of the thriving conditions of the JEFF
ferson grange and expressed hope
that county grange would soon be
organized. He said that the State
Grange would hold its annual meeting
at Salisbury, in November.
Emory Remsburg, former demon
stration agent in Frederick county,
advanced theory for the preservation
of the rotation of crops in Frederick
county, which because of the general
failure of the grass crop, is threaten
ed. He urged that the wheat fields
be plowed, care being taken to ex-
terminate all volunteer growth of
wheat, and the ground be re-seeded
with grass. Much of the clover plant
ed in wheat fields last fall, died dur
ing the unreasonable winter.
