There is a growing belief that Senator
Blair Lee will soon announce his candi.
dacy for Governor, as so far the announc.
ed and tentative candidates do not seen
to be all-satisfying to the rank and file Of
the progressive element of the Demo
cratic party in Maryland.
This element claims there should be
no real contest 10 the matter. that it is
only necessary to recall Senator Lees ad
vocacy, from first to last, of the principles
Of progressive Democracy as interpreted
by President Wilson and other leaders Of
the party; the contest he made for the
nomination in 1911, when he lost by only
one vote, which in convention days
always assured such a candidate the
nomination for the following term.
But over and above these claims, it is
stated that with Lee as Governor he can
much more effectively put into practice
true progressive Democracy in Maryland
than can be done by any other candidate

SELF Belief The key to SUCCESS.

Do you still believe in yourself? II
10, you cannot become failure. You
can at worst only have failed to learn
as yet the science of success, Of which
self respect is the key. In the great
gamble of life we can afford to lose
everything but our self respect. Money
lost is little lost; friends lost, much
lost, but self respect lost, and all is
lost. Self belief is the husband of self
respect, just as self respect is the
mother of self reliance. Believe In
yourself and you will win through, for
self belief Is the handspring of human
activity and the principal source of
human Improvement. It inspires you
to do things. It teaches you to try
again The man who retains his belief
In himself will never give up trying,
and success is the reward of persistent
effort Self reliance will pull us
through many a struggle from which
the coward fees In vain and in which
The weak succumb. The ability to "get

Lecturer NaIlOuaA FARMERS O11Ou
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
Of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali

but the troubles Of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package Outlines OBJ.
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M

er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub.
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and Co
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable.
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life Of the
community.

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns Of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life. We, need more art, sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.
