FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JAN. 29, 1915
WESTERN MARYLAND AND THE
GOyERNORSHIP.

III there Is any one question OF pub
lie consideration upon which there is
unity OF opinion among the people
Of the counties on the Western shores
or thu Chesapeake, including oi
course, Baltimore city, 1t is that the
Governor to be elected in November
next, must be citizen Of this section
of Maryland. On this question there
OF all classes and OF all shades OF
political opinion in that part Of the
State west of the Bay.
The Eastern Shore, comprising less
than one sixth of Maryland, % far
as population and wealth are concern
ed, has furnished the chief executive
the last sixteen years, and has furn-
ished "a very large proportion of iii
the prominent State officials during
the same period of time. The Demo
Gratis On that side OF the bay Oh part
of them, are now asking for con-
tinuation of thu same State of affairs
and are demanding the Governorship
for the ensuing four years. IL is q
fairly safe prediction to say that their
request will not be granted. To
nominate another Eastern Shoreman
would jeopardize the election and
would probably result in the success
OF the Republicans next fall. In view
of the openly expressed sentiment on
this subject therefore, the Democrats
may be relied upon to select as their
candidate man from the Western
section OF the State.
Carroll county will present to the
Democratic voters former State sen
ator Beasman for the nomination
Our candidate is man whose long
record OF efficient and able public ser
vice at Annapolis, is a guarantee
that he Will thoroughly safeguard the
peoples interest. In this crisis in
the financial affairs of Maryland's
State government, when extrava-
gance end carelessness in the
administration Of the States funds
have created an alarming deficiency,
amounting to more than one million
dollars, such man as Mi. Beasman
is needed at the head of affairs. He
knows what ID needed To check furth-
er extravaganza and recklessness, and
his record ia such matters il an a.
surance that lie will put stop To
such criminal folly in the future
The Democratic party needs him All
Annapolis, and above all, the people
of- Maryland regardless Of party
need him there, and the Advocate
believes he will be nominated and
elected.

It Pleased Him.

You never know what child will
do next" remarked mother last
week. Recently, for instance, ]
bought some toothpowder highly flaw
ored with wintergreen and gave ii
to my eldest boy, Charlie, who ID ten.
I've been having trouble In getting
Charlie to clean his teeth properly
and thought the new powder, because
Of its intense flavor, might encourage
him.
ia couple OF weeks later / noticed
that lot of the new toothpowder was
gone. Feeling much pleased, said to
Charlie: How ID the new powder
doing? Is it keeping your teeth nice
and clean?'
/" III don't know was the reply.
Don't know-haven't you been
cleaning your teeth every day with
III? Most OF its gone
Sure it's gone. I've been eating
it. It's fine

SEED TIME.

The seeding operation is the most
important i'm the farmers yearly rou-
tine. Upon 1t depends to large de-
gree the success or failure of the
labor which follows. Now T. TO-
time to give attention to the seed
which will be used when the spring
comes On. You may use seed OF your
own growing, seed selected carefully
and studiously from reliable catalogs
now available from the most reliable
seed houses, or YOU may wait until
the last moment and use such seeds
as may be available when the rush Of
spring work IL upon you The method
you pursue will have greater bear
ing upon the success Of your seasons
crops than the hard work you will
have to do later on. Good seeds alone
will not insure good crops. But g.
lection of good seed, freeing it from
weed adulteration and grading il for
strength or vitality il work OF i'm
provement which requires less actual
labor and time than any other equal
ly important feature in crop growing.
a farmer in Chester county, this
state, last year planted corn OF vary
ing quality as seed. He gave the en-
tire plot the same cultural treatment.
His crop showed difference Of 60
bushels per acre between the best
and poorest; all because OF seed diff
ferences. The dairymen and the live
stock breeders are becoming thor
oily alive to the importance Of sure
bred sires and selection Of female
breeders according to individual merit
and demonstrated worth. The prin-
ciples are the same in the selection
Of seed from which your crops are
grown. What has been done by many
III the improvement or live stock Is
now being done by a few in the i'm
provement Oh the grains, fruits and
vegetables Improvement by intelli-
gent breeding il Just a. positive with
these ID with live stock, and usually
more rapid. We can not all be plant
breeders, but We can secure the bene-
fits Of such work by the use of seeds
and plants that are developed for VI
by those who are skilled In the work
Now is the time to lay in your supply
or best seeds obtainable for the spring

otherwise the same, the Democrat
would have won in a straight-out
fight with a Republican Moreover,
in a number or districts in which the
Republican candidate won out over
the Democratic last November, md
in which the Progressive candidate
polled a considerable vote, the result
was % close that had the Progressive
not been in the field and had ma
jority of them refrained from voting,
the Democrat would have been elect
Cd 90 it still really il debatable
question whether, judging by the
late election, and considering only
the three large parties, thu Demo-
cratic party is not a majority party.
Partisans will probably continue to
debate that question. Unbiased per
sons will simply see that the country
IL very evenly divided indeed, and
that no party can count upon a
walkover i'm 1916 The party that
wins will probably be the one that
can capture the greater part Of those
Il 800, 900 votes that were cast for the
Progressive candidates last Noyem-
Der. In 1912 there were more than
100000 Progressive votes cast. The
big decrease in 1914 shows that there
was a strong tendency on the part or
the Republicans who had left their
party in 1912 to return to the fold
That 100000 did resist that tendency
is an indication that they have been
pretty thoroughly alienated- IN IL
quite possible, then, that If the Re-
publican and Democratic parties rs
tain their present characteristics. the
latter will be able to make in 1916
quite a. strong an appeal a. the for
mer to the voters Considering these
things, one il struck anew with the
political expediency OF the kind OF
speech which Woodrow Wilson made
the other day at Indianapolis Read
between the lines, that address was
a forceful appeal to men who be-
lfeve In the things the Progressive
voters profess to believe in II was
the kind OF talk calculated to make
the Progressive voter who is begin
ming to realize that h. may have tn
vote for some other than a Progress
sive candidate next year, turn his
face toward the Democracy. We do
not know that President Wilson con-
sciously had this thought in mind
when he delivered his political
speech, but it would not be surpris-
I'M IL II should be shown that he did

From present indications it would
seem az IL the Rev Billy Sunday il
giving it to Philadelphia about as hot
a. he gave it to Pittsburgh last year
What he says about that ancient
quaker city is certainly enough 70
make its citizens sit up and take
notice. Still he must consider it bet
ter than New York for i'm declining an
invitation to the latter place he is
credited with remarking that, There
is little hope the Lord will ever be
able to save such hell hole as New
York" Doubtless both places, a.
well as some others, need cleaning up.

Annie Davis, who was last year The
grand champion girl OF Texas and
came to Washington with the other
champions, has this year come to the
aid OF her father who raised cotton
crop and couldn't sell it. She had
saved up her money to take a course
at an industrial school, but the cotton
crisis came along and her money was
given to help the family This young
woman from the funds which she
earned last year has purchased her
father team of horses and a wagon.

One girl cleared last year $3.50 from
her turkeys and 1888 from her chick
ems. In addition, being an all-round
farmer, she has made profit from
her garden and canning work. This
young woman's success has evidently
made an impression on her father, for
during the past year he has reduced
his cotton acreage one-haIf and has
put in vegetable products These are
not for home use alone, for he has in
stalled a small home Gamer and the
whole family are going to help In
canning the stuff for market.

The Texas girls have shown an un-
usual interest in poultry in addition
to their canning and garden work
This is only the first year Of the poul-
try work, but already 250 young wo-
men have accomplished actual results,
and in not a single case did the girls
fail to make profit. The result has
been that in many cases the whole
flock OF poultry on farm has been
turned over to the daughter. The
marketable value of infertile eggs has
been emphasized, for in the past great
quantities of eggs were sent to the
market when they were beyond the
point of using.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

ONE TREE BRINGS 500
Single Sugar Pine Yields Enough Lum-
ber to Build Suburban House

Washington, D. c., Feb. 9.-The gov
ernment has received $99.40 in settle
ment for single sugar pine tree which
was cut in trespass in the Stanisaus
national forest, in California, and
which yielded more than enough actual
lumber to build good-sized suburban
frame house. The tree scaled 1898
board feet and was valued at S5.25 per
thousand feet.
Not many trees contain enough lum-
Der to build two-foot board walk near
ly two miles long, and this is believed
to be the first ease on record in which
a single tree felled in national forest
was valued at almost s1O0 on the
stump, although national forest timber
Is frequently sold at considerably high
er rates.

KILLS BOY BREAD THIEF
Grocer Shoots Youth Whose Home Is
Quarantined and Without Food

Cleveland, Feb. 3.-Joseph Findura,
grocer, was arrested yesterday, charged
with the murder of Dominic Margold,
16, shot and killed while breaking into
a breadbox left in the doorway of Fin
dura's store by baker Findura told
the police his bread had been stolen
every morning for several weeks aud
that early yesterday he "laid in wait
for the thief -
The dead youth s home had been
quarantined because of diphtheria and
his raid ON the grocery store was for
food.
Flndura said he had shot from his
bedroom window, and when Margold
fell he fired at another boy, who es-
capped. Findura then notified the po-
lice.
