Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoils that death has won,
We would say as time is fleeing
Calmly say, Thy will be done. -
Tho cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou dids't give, and thou hast taken;
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
By thy hands the boon was given;
Thou has taken but thine own:
Lord of earth and God of heaYen.
Evermore, Thy will be done.

Why Not Beans.

The European war is going to make
food prices tend upward, consequently
the farmer who raises food crops will
find rising market for his products.
On nearly every farm one or two acres
of beans could be raised without inter-
fering with the "big" crops.
Every farmer knows the essentials
of bean culture, learned from garden
experience; and if the crop be not too
large it can be quickly picked, summed
a few days, and failed out by hand or
run through pea-huller.
AS for market. every groceryman
in the land sells beans He must buy
from somebody-why not from the
farmers of his territory? This country
has never raised enough little white
beans for its own use, large quantities
being imported from Mexico and else
where each year. Now, while others
are busy with their wars, is a good
time for US to plan to supply this de-
ficit.

STATE SELLS TREES Ar COST
fEse Advice Given as 10 neihods Of
Laying Cat and Planting Groves.

Through the liberality Of the State
and the enterprise of the State Board
Of Forestry, the landowners Of Mary
land will this spring be able to get
forest and ornamental trees at cost. AT
the same time they may have expert
advice when and how to plant, and
trained men will be furnished at cost to
supervise and lay out forestry work
within the State 1t is important to
order early, for the supply Of some
species is already exhausted. These
trees are available for commercial.
ornamental or protective planting, such
as windbreaks, etc, and many farmers
will doubtless accept the opportunity to
add value to waste places or improve
the appearance Of their homes.
One year ago the board established at
College Park a nursery for the growing
Of forest trees. Though begun so
recently, this nursery contains at the
present time close TO a quarter million
trees, which are of suitable size and
age for planting in the spring. Among
the varieties available to landowners of
MARYLAND are white and lobloly pines,
Norway spruce and Douglas fir, black
walnut, black locust, white ash, tulip
poplar and red oak. Ali are valuable
timber trees and species of rapid growth.
The conifers, in common with the locust
and oak, show excellent development on
variety Of soils. All are most suitable
for refOrestlng the waste lands found
on many farms. AS to the white ash,
black walnut and tulip poplar, these
trees. while requiring somewhat better
planting sites, are all well known for
their value, both as shade and timber
trees. In price they range from $3.50
a thou sand for locust seedlings to S.. so
for white pine transplants. and all
orders are packed and boxed free of
charge.

4 Correction By the Garrett County
Creamery Management.
} the Editor Of The Republican,

To the Editor OF The Republican,
DEAR SIX: In your issue OF February
%, there appeared the following state
ment:
1T. W. CastaeI, proprietor OF the
Oakland Creamery, paid Garrett county
farmers last year $4,000 for their milk -
As that statement is somewhat err
roneous. l am asking that it be correct
cd.
The fact is that the Garrett County
Creamery paid out to the farmers of
Garrett county for milk and cream the
sum Of Sl2,0lI.35 during the year 1914,
one patron alone having received $66i.
IA during the year for his product
Present indications show that a much
greater sum will be paid out this wear
than was last as many farmers are en-
lar1ing their herds and others who have
not patroHized the creamery heretofore
have given ro.ice that they are going
20 take advantage Of the opportunity to
receive monthly cash income through
the creamery.
We wish to make this the banner
year for the farmers of Garrett county
and for the creamery, hence We should
be very glad to talk dairying to any
farmer in the vicinity of Oakland who
has not already seen its advantages.
Very truly yours.

STATE ROAD SYSTEM COM-
FlETED BY July FIRST
Every county Seas - Maryland VIII
Ee Connected with baltimore.


Frank II. Zouck, assistant to the
chairman Of the State Roads Commits
SOP, today expressed the opinion that
Marg isnd's main arterial his hwaw sys-
TEN viii be completed in accordance
With the original plan to connect up
eve~y county seaC With Baltimore city
by not later than July /.
Most Of the system has been finished
and the portions vet to be built, with
the exception Of two CT three very short
Inks, are now under contract. The re-
naming contracts, covering the short
links referred to, viii be AWARDED in
the very near future.
And when the system has been finish
ed it will be possible, varying slightly
the favorite expression Of a member of
the las. Legislature, to travel over a
thoroughly modern highway from Oak
Iand among the snow-capped peaks of
Garrett to Ocean City, on the ocean
kissed shores Of Worcester"
Some people seem to be under the i'm
preston that the plan for the State
highway system calls for connecting Up
the county seats, not only with Balti-
mere, bat with each other as well This
is mistake, though many of the county
seats will be connected with each other.
The county seats OF Howard, Fceder-
lex, Washington and Allegany counties
connect with Baltimore by the Freder-
lex and Old National pixies, running
through Ellicott City, Frederick city,
Hagerstown and Cumberland on INTO
the extreme northwestern corner of
the State, from where a branch road
has been built down to Oakland, the
county seat OF Garrett.
a road running from Rockville, the
county seat of Montgomery, connects
with the Frederick pike at Ridgeville.
Another connection with Baltimore is
afforded through the District of Column
bia and thence over the Baltimore
Washington boulevard.

Woman's Missionary Society

1t has been several weeks
since we have had the pleasure
for various reasons not necessary
to mention, of communicating
any Missionary work as done by
the w. M. S., M. E. Church OF
Okolona. The happy partici-
pants from Okolona in the all day
Missionary Rally in Amory Aug.
9Th were Mesdames Gordon
Davis, W. O. Harbour, A. S.
Miller, Maggie PANEL, D. A.
Gulick, U. S. Brooks, formerly
of Amory and M. B. Dottery.
o, what an inspiration we re-
ceived from the soulstiring talks
made by by our most worthy
and noble leaders, Mrs. Hoyle,
Con. Pres, Mrs. Haughton, dis
trict Secty., and many others
who had won distinction in the
mission field. The impetus
given us by reconsecration, re-
newed efforts, with our beloved
Pres, Mrs. Keller at the front,
has resulted, not only in addi-
tional members in our Okolona
Aux, but in the organization of
new Aux at Derma and other
places by herself and Mrs. W.
0. Harbour.
In answer to an appeal from
Miss Daniel, deaconess of our
cooperative home at Corinth,
we, under the auspices of Mrs.
Erma Nix, have ready a box of
jellies, jams and preserves for
the Home. When we remember
the los, 000,0 in India who
never know what it is to eat
from the cradle to the grave,
are we not eager to share more
of our many blessings wherever
they are needed?
Last but not least is the most
delightful social meeting held at
Mrs. Garnette's Sept. 9th. Mrs.
Keller called the house to order
in her usual lady-like manner,
requested Aunt Laura" to
open the devotional exercises.
After the business proceedings
Mrs. PANEL had quite a number
of nice selections on Social
Service" treating of child-labor
or the adolescent period.
Judging from the charming
strains of music as rendered by |
the Misses Cannon, Mrs. Gar
nett's neighbors, the deity
of the choicest viands,
salads and creams, the repartee
of the guests in response to
and selections handed
them showed the most careful
painstaking by our lovaple host
ess to make the meeting one
never to be forgotten and highly
enjoyed by each and all present.
