LEWIS PUTS DAMPER ON
SUMMER CAPITAL PLAN
Congressman Says President Will No,
Move to Maryland Except in
Case of War.

Baltimore. Nd. Aug. S.-Representatfve
David J. Lewis has thrown a damper on
the movement to have q site selected in
Maryland for a summer capital for the
Federal government in a letter which
he has written Secretary Lloyd T. Mac
Gill. of the Frederick board of trade.
who has been urging Braddock Heights
as a location for summer home for
the President and executive headQuar-
ters. Since the "summer-capital idea"
was first broached a number Of loca-
tions on the shores of the Chesapeake
and in the mountains of Western Mary
land have been suggested.
Mr.. Lewis writes that he Is familiar
with the attractive availability Of
Braddock Heights, and wishes that the
capital of the United States had been
placed there in the beginning" for it
would have added greatly to the efici-
ency of public men,"
The Congressman declares that there
Is no probability that another site even
for sumer purposes. will be taken for
the Federal capital, unless some such
misfortune as the government being
driven from Washington by the hand of
war should develop
The Frederick board of trade, however,
will continue to bring Bradock Heights
to the attention of the President and
Congress for a summer capital, and Blue
Ridge Summit, now the summer home
Of many Latin-American diplomats, IL
also suggested, and other Maryland
points are claiming recognition. Vir-
gfnia wants the proposed summer capi-
tai on the other side of the Potomac,
and its efforts to secure the location
will be stoutly resisted by Marylanders
Gov. Goldsborough and the Annapolis
people think Bay Ridge would be an
ideal site.
But for George washinston's personal
preference for Georgetown, Western
Maryland would have had the United
States Capital. When the Potomac won
the night for the location of the Federal
territory" in 1870, over the Delaware and
the Susquehanna. it's site was fixed by
Congress on the River Potomac. at some
place between the mouth OF the Eastern
Branch and Conococheeague.
Washington was to make the selection.
He visited Williamsport and found
town where the only building thirty
years before. when he had first gone to
the Conococheasue with Braddock's
army. was the hut of Col. Cresap. He
thought It was inferior for the ten miles |
to the Eastern Branch site.

Buffer State.

Paris, Aug. ?.-That Germany. if vic
torious in the great war, intends to
create a buffer state between East Prus-
sia and Russia out of Poland and Silesia,
is the prediction made today in a news
paper issued by exiled Poles in Paris.
Germany has no idea of constituting
Silesia and part of East Prussia in the
new kingdom of Poland. but simply to
constitute small quari-independent
state TO serve as a buffer against Rus
sis," says this newspaper.
But Poland will not allow herself TO

spite her tragic situation. German tute-
lage would be slow but certain death.
Germany is already a vast cemetery OF
Slavic peoples. who. during the past
thousand years. have been devoured by
German political cannIbaiism.'

nounced the opening of their Dee mill
on or about April /.
1--WE have grown tired of the watch
full waiting period and will make the
start, even though we do not continue
to run through the entire season.
Timber bought in many localities
10 years ago, is not worth today any
thing like the purchase price and the
statement one often hears, that timber
is liability rather than an asset, is
not without merit.
when will there be change for the
better? Well, that is hard to say-not
in the immediate future, think. Pros
perity will come when there are pro-
fits in business to make it.
''The theorist. as usual, is offering
suggestions and arguments for the bet
termen of conditions, but, if followed
do not work out. There are many not
so ready as he to commit themselves to
propositions that spell failure before
fairly begun.

on account of an unsatisfactory year,

ORCHARD WAGES
WILL BE CUT

Local apple growers will endeavor to
cut the cost IN production of apples
this year by making substantial de-
eresses in the labor scale. The orch
ardists of the Pine Grove district met
last Thursday and made plans for the
organization Of all growers in the dis
trict, in order that the wage scale may
be maintained.
Hereafter It is proposed that not
more than 81. 70 or 81 and board, be
paid for the ordinary days work in the
orchard. Heretofore this had usually
cost 81 so per day.
While the matter of packing will be
left with the shipping organizations.
who should name the price the packer
should receive and his sponsibIlities,
we suggested that not more than three
cents per box be paid, where the pack
er follows grading machine, says G.
A. Reed, who attended the Pine Grove
meeting. Where women do the work
OF men, they are to receive equal pay"
Mr.. Reed declares that local orchard
lists have made very poor arrangements
for handling their labor. I'VE have
found but few bunk houses" he asys,
and yet those growers who have
erected structures to house their pick
ers and fruit thinners say that the work
has certainly been we'll worth while.
1t gives the laborers a place to dry
their wet clothing after a rain, place
to get warm and to engage in sort of
social intercourse.
While individual growers will be ex-
pected to make arrangements with per-
manent laborers as they see fit, all are
asked not to pay over S45 per month for
new, inexperienced men, who are fur
nished with houses.
