A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

In a letter to the Westchester
Count democratic Club on the occa-
sion of its annual dinner in New York
city, Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo gave a summary of the work of
the Wilson administration ard, among
other things, said that Prosperity
has been restored Would it not be
appropriate to inquire when prosper
ity was lost? The Democratic admin,
istration took charge of the affairs of
the United States government at a
time when prosperity was at its
height. If the adoption of Democratic
economic policies in government had
the effect of destroying the prosperity
which then existed, what possible
credit can the Democratic administra-
ton claim for restoring" that which
it had already destroyed? Even
though it should succeed in bringing
the industrial affairs of the United
States to the high plane which they
formerly occupied, is not the state
ment of the Secretary of the Treasury
an unqualified admission that at least
the Democratic party has deprived the
American people of large part of
their industrial prosperity for per
iod of several years. The promise of
the Democrats during the 1912 cam
paign was that American industry
would not be injured. It's plea, after
lapse of two and half years, that
prosperity has been restored" is an
admission that its campaign pledge
was violated.

Presidential Campaign Begun

The National Campaign of 1916 has
already begun. Democrats-both de-
serving and desiring-have renominat-
ed and reelected the President; and
ha!f a score of Republican "favorite
sons are emerging into the presiden
tial arena.
The personal phase of the canvass,
however, is not yet acute-nor will 1t
become so for many months. That
the President will receive renomlna-
ton is certain. He wants it, and his
power of patronage will give it to him.
Therefore, whoever may be the Re-
publican nominee, the opposition lead
ership is settled; and the issues of the
canvass of next year are determined.
They are, broadly speaking, Republi-
canism against Democracy, Wilson
against some Republican who is
thoroughly representative of the
party as it is and has been and vii. be,
the policies and practices Of Demo-
cratic administration and legislation
against those OF the Republicans.
This phase OF the next National con-
test is already under discussion. The

Home Garden Demonstration

A home garden demonstration has
ben arranged by County Agent G. F.
Marsh at the farm of Mr.. E. w. Jack
son, near Elkton. His garden plot
will be used to demonstrate how an
half acre of ground, when properly
planted in diversified crops, will not
only supply family of a dozen people
with an extensive variety of fresh
vegetables, but also how, by canning
and drying the surplus, the family
supply of vegetables during the win
ter will also be provided for. A part
of the surplus will be sold in the adj
joining town and will prove a consider
able source of revenue for the younger
members of the family during the
summer. This demonstration will be
conducted in cooperation with Prof.
S. B. Shaw, orchard and garden ex-
pert of the Maryland Agricultural
College, who, with Mr.. jackson and
the county agent, have carefully plan
ned the best kinds and varieties of
vegetables for planting. Accurate re-
cords of the yields and disposals will
be kept, also time of planting, matur-
ing. fertilization and cultivation. This
will furnish some valuable data at
the end of the season for the conduct
of home gardens generally throughout
the county. The crops grown have
been selected with the idea of supply
ing every home need, and the idea of
the demonstration is not only to show
what should be grown and the best
methods of culture, but also to demon
strate the actual dollar and cents
value of the farm garden in supplying
the necessary food products for home
use.

LIGHT is ENERGY.
II the Rays Are Not Absorbed They
viii Travel on Forever.

If one could get an inclosed room
with perfectly mirroring walls and
light an electric bulb in it for sec
ond and then suddenly annihilate
the bulb the light would go on re-
Aecting back and forth forever. So
if one could look into this room a
year later he would see the lighted
bulb, which no longer existed, mir
rored in all the walls Of the room.
However, if the bulb had been
left in the room after being ex-
tinguished it, being dead and not
perfect reflector, would finally have
absorbed all the light back and
have converted it into heat
If light from an object is not abb
sorbed it, being energy, travels on
forever. Take a church steeple with
the sun shining on it and no clouds
above. The light reflected from the
steeple will 60 out into space and
travel forever unless it strike some
matter in space. SO person on a
distant planet could see the steeple
if he had glasses strong enough
the matter of seeing being merely
to receive enough light from the
seen object to impress the retina.
If this celestial observer were
very far away the light of course
would take some time to get to
him and he could not possibly see
the steeple as soon after the sun
struck it as could an observer on
the earth.
In the regions of space there are
rays of light that were reflected
from people and buildings ages ago.
If some one were there to catch
these rays he could actually see
things that long ago ceased to ex-
list except as light rays.
Astronomers do actually see such
things, for they can look at stars
whose light has taken forty years to
get to the earth. If these forty
year stars were to 60 out no one
on the earth could possibly see
them go out for forty years. They
would still be seen in the sky as
bright as ever for forty years more.
This fact demonstrates more
plainly than any other that what
one sees is light and not objects.
A friends face, for instance, is not
seen. Nothing is seen but the light
reflected from that friends face.
The friend could be annihilated and
one would see his face for a short
time thereafter-that is, would see
the light from his face.-New York

The gigantic tropical firetiies
which swarm in the forests and
canebrakes of most of the low lying
West Indian islands once proved
the salvation of the city of Santo
Domingo. A body of buccaneers,
headed by the notorious Thomas
Cavendish, had laid all their plans
for a descent upon the place, in
tending to massacre the inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actual
ly put off their boats for that pur-
pose. As they approached the land,
however, rowing with muflled oars,
they were greatly surprised to see
an infinite number Of moving lights
in the woods which fringed the
bayou up which they had to pro-
coed, and, concluding that the Span
iards knew of their approach, they
put about and regained their ship
without attempting to land.

The Arabs of Syria.

Among the Arabs Of Syria man
changes his name after the birth of
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
"father Of" Thus, if the son is
called Fudle Allah, Goods bounty"
the father will henceforth be known
as Abu Fudle Allah, 'father of
Gods bounty" In like manner the
mother would become known as
En- Fudle Allah, mother of Gods
bounty" This custom is not meEe-
ly one of common speech, but ex-
tends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strange
ly, even when a man though mar
ried has no son the courtesy of ORR
entail society demands that he
should be addressed as Abu Salim
or Abou Mahmoud, after an imagi-
nary son whom politeness conters
upon him.

PerpetuaI Fires.

The following are some of the
perpetual fires in the world.
The sacred fire of Baherem, re-
puted to have been kindled 1900
years ago, burns in temple in the
village of Jodwada, India. This fire
was consecrated by the Parsees in
commemoration of their safe voy-
age to India.
In the vaults where the czars of
Russia are buried two great candles,
one at the head and the other at
the feet, are always kept burning.
When the tomb of Pallas, son of
Evander, was opened in the twelfth
century, they found lighted lamp
hung above his head, which had
presumably been burning for 1000
years.
