Notice to the Public

The Dorchester Pomona Grange, ,at
it's meeting on October 10Th, will
make final arrangements for holding
their annual exhibition. These exhi-
bitions are considerable expense to
the Grange, which profits in no way
other than the general public. Be-
lieving that such exhibitions conduce
to better production, marketing and
home surroundings-then by carry
ing out the traditions of our order
for we not only have Ceres" the
Goddess of grain, and Pomona" the
Goddess of fruit, but also Flora"
the Goddess of fiowers-we have
been glad to make the sacrifice in
time and money. Had it not been
for the generosity of our merchants,
banks, and ,public-spirited citizens
throughout the county, it would
have been impossible to continue
them, and the Grange deeply appre-
ciates the assistance and co-opera-
tion of the public and other organi-
cations, and has tried to make it
their show as we'll as ours. The So
liciting committee, W. w. Byrn, Mrs
A. X. Austin, and Fred Hirst, will be
glad to receive articles for the prem
ium list, and I trust they will meet
with the same cordiality and gene
rosity as in the past.

CAPT. SAMUEL A. TYLER
One of The Grand Old Men of Lakes
District Passes Away-Was One of
The Oldest Citizens of the County.

Captain Samuel Augustus Tyler
one of the best known men in the
lower part of the county, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs Ollie
Wroten, on Willis street, this city
last night, at a quarter after ten
o'clock, aged sc years, months and
9 days, having been born in Lakes
district July 2, 1880
He is survived by nine children,
Messrs. Caleb j., C. Allen and Angus
tus Tyler, all of Baltimore; William,
of Lakesville; Mrs. Charles FoXwell.
OF Crapo; Mrs. Jefferson Paul, of
Golden Hill; Mrs. Ollie Wroten, Mrs
Odie Andrews and Mrs. Richard Rob
bins, all of Cambridge.
Captain Tyler has lived practically
all of his life in Lakes district, hay
ing moved to Cambridge only a week
ago. He was known far and wide
for his honesty, his devotion to duty
and his courage in the performance
OF his duty. He was for several
years deputy commander of the
oyster police boats Frolic and Brown,
Smith & Jones, and during the terms
that he served in this position he
faithfully enforced the laws, accord
ing to his instructions, being noted
for the firmneSs with which he per-
formed his duty, and for the further
fact that his fairness to all was nev-
er questioned.
He was deputy on the Frolic at
the time of the big oyster battle in
the ninetieS; in fact, it was the car,
rying out of his instructions to en-
force the law that was, in some de-
gree, responsible for the outbreak at
that time. The oyStermen believed
that they were strong enough to re-
sist the oyster navy and had come ov-
er into the waters of Fishing Bay
for the especial purpose of forcing
an issue with the local boat. Captain
Tyler saw that they meant to rout
him and he charged into them, and
at the time that the State steamer,
under Commander Howard, arrived,
he was indeed hard pressed, but was
holding on just as resolutely as if he
had the situation in control. He
steered his boat from the steps of
the cabin and every time he was ex-
posed a volley of shots greeted him,
but he kept up the fight until assis
tance arrived, and the enemies were
put to flight, number of them being
arrested.
Throughout his entire life he had
the respect, esteem and confidence of
those who knew him, land big in body,
he was big-hearted, and always rea-
dy to do what he could for anyone
in distress.
The funeral services will be held
at st. Johns Church, Kirwan's Neck,
tomorrow, Thursday, afternoon, at 1
o'clock, with interment in the family
burying ground on the farm where
he lived for many years.

The Rural School Term.
(By ]. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, Bureau of Education)

(By ]. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, Bureau of Education.)
The further we delye into the
question of rural school attendance
in it's relation to the length of rural
school term the more evident it be-
comes that we need an aroused pub
! lie opinion for a better rural school
attendance and more rigid and ef-
/ fective, enforcement of compulsory
attendance laws to make sure of this
better attendance-nota alone for the
yes, but as a matter of simple justice
to the taxpayers. 1t is unjust to tax
A to pay for teaching BIS children,
when the authority that levies and
collects the tax from A allows B to
keep his children out of school
whether it be through Indifference,
ignorance or selfishness. Further
more, it is a crime against BIS chill
dren to let him keep them out of
school, Whether poor attendance of
pupils comes from Indifference of pa
rents, a sleeping public opinion or a
lax enforcement of compulsory laws
Or from all of these things-the
penalty falls hardest and most di
rectly upon the children in their lost
opportunity for an education, though
society Emust pay heavy toll in the
end fOrEits own SHINING against such
children.
AS asconcrete example of the mag
nitude and gravity of these problems
in some of the States, take Pennsyl
vania. The enrolment in her pub
lie schools for the year ending July
5, 1913, reached the colossal figure
of 1,461 ,937. The average daily at
tendance in her public schools for
that year was 1,166, ,513-making
her average daily absences climb to
the startling number of 295, 5,424.
The cost of enforcing the compulsory
attendance law in Pennsylvania for
the same year was $198,991.71.
These figures cover both rural and
urban schools. The latest available
statistics on separate attendance in
urban and rural schools of Pennsyl-
vania, 1910 show that the number at
tendingS daily in every 100 enrolled
was 81, while in the rural schools it
was only 76.6. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the rural schools of Penn
sylvania had larger per cent. of pu-
pills in the 295,424 daily absentees
than did its urban schools. Yet Penn
sylvania is one of the six States with
the highest daily attendance
Statisticians claim that every day
a pupil sattends school is worth nine
dollars Ito him. On this basis the
295, ,42A pupils daily absent from
Pennsylvania schools last year cost
over 1866, 900 daily, or for the
school erm of ITO days, over $780,
000,00& For the nation at large
the 5.@0,O00 boys and girls daily
absent from school lost thereby on a
school brm of $50 days, s7,2O0,O00,-
900. I'VE must educate or we must
perish said Beecher.

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

At the Lyric Theatre next week be-
ginning Sunday, Frederic Mckay, will
introduce that wildly popular American
comedienne, Miss Irene Franklin and a
carefully selected company in what he is
pleased to announce as one of the best
II not in fact, an actually superior play
comedy in three acts, with songs, and
suggested by the fascinating story, "The
Melting of Molly" by Maria Thompson
Daviess, and made into stage form, as
Mr. Mckay claims, with all the ele-
ments of a decidedly delightful comedy
1t is in New York City that the play
starts on its career of action with be-
witching Molly Carter" as the ever
dominant figure, and it is in New York
that the action of the play remains and
where the clash of interest come and
are worked out along very clever comedy
lines.
According to advance advices the
comedy promises to prove one of more
than average interest and it is also re.
ported affords Miss Franklin and her
company the opportunity to present the
quality of acting that is always appeal
ing. Also, that each member of the
company, has found most congenial
character, and that by intelligent hand
ling of their parts will add another
laurel to Mr. Mckays notable achieve
ments in play production. During the
action of the play Miss Franklin will
sing some of her latest song hits and
Mr. Burton Green with the special OF.

troduce some musical numbers of the
highest order.

Enthusiastically, the Empress clientele can
look forward to witnessing a new and
novel headliner as well as geneuine
vaudeville treat.
In addition to these glorious players
the bill will have its usual quota of COM
edy acts. One of these is the play of
comedy screams, "The Millinery Sales
man." with Joseph Remington and his
capable company in the various roles.
Remington is funmaker of the merri-
est caliber and his portrayal of the man
behind the ribbon counter is a series
of roars and yells of laughter.
The remainder of the bill gives equal
ly large promise of delightful entertain
men for which the Empress is so justly
famous. There are, for instance, such
high-class, top-notch acts as Walter
tiawley and Inez Bellaire, the merry
man and the dainty song-bird; Ogden
and Benson, smiling pair from song
land; Watch Harvey, mastery and pop
ular accordion genius: the Smileta Sis

And, of course, the comedy films are not
to be forgotten as a merry-making fea-

THE GRAND.

A comedy treat is promised local thea
trc-gocrs next week when David Belasco
brings the newest Winchcll Smith and
Victor Mapcs success, THE Boomerang"
Very subty and agrecably treating of
love and jealousy this charming light
comedy has registered at the Bclasco
Theatre the most emphatic success that
has been recorded on the New York
stage i'll recent years. 1t has been beau
tifully and artistically produced by MIR.
Belasco, who has given it setting
wherein its remarkably human qualities
and its rich and sparkling humor might
not be lost That he has been richly re-
wardcd needs no more convincing evil
dencc than the fact that "Thc Boom
erang' has been playing in New York
continuously since it was first revealed
there year ago last August, not even
being interrupted by the intense sum
mer's heat. 1t comes to Cincinnati di
rect from Mr.. Beasco's Theatre in New
York and goes from here to Chicago for
the balance of the season.
"The Boomerang" is in three acts and
is said to bear evidence all the way
through of having been staged by a mas
ter hand, 1t acquires its title in that a
young physician, who sets out to cure a
patient of lovc-sickncsS and jealousy,
falls in the end a victim OF his own rene
dy. The story has to do with a wealthy
Young chap, Bud Woodbridge, who is in
love with Grace Tyler and is insancly

mother, fearing he is ill., and knowing
nothing OF his heart affairs, takes him
to Doctor Gerald Sumner, who has just
returned from abroad and hung out his
Shinplc. The doctor examines But, but
can find nothing the matter until, as he is
feeling the young mans pulse, the names
of Grace Tyler and Preston Dewitt arc
mentioned by the doctors assistant The
acccleration of the pulse gives the doctor
his first clue and he learns the whole
trouble by few questions.
DIR. Sumner has just engaged a very
