RECRUITING ON THE INCREASE
Thousands of Would-Be Soldiers APP
plying to Adjutant General at
Washington For Informa-
ton About Army
Requirements

Washington, July 1.-The American
soldier is again in the spot light.
| Thousands are thrOnging the
recruiting stations all over the coun-
try. Other thousands are writing to
the War Department, making inquiry
as to how they can get in" With
the passage of legislation increasing
the army to 100000, the office of
the Adjutant- General at Washington
has taken on renewed activity.
THE army of the United States
is the best fed, best paid and best
kept army in the world" said Cap
tain Thomas F. Ryan, at the office
of the Acknowledgement of the Army,
in discussing the army as a career.
'The soldiers opportunity for adj
vancement, self-improvement mental
ly and physically, pleasure, or the
accumulation of savings, is of the
best.
"The pay of a soldier ranges from
$15 to 500 month, according to the
grade and length Of service. AS the
soldier receives every necessity free,
his pay is practically clear. He
should have NO difficulty, if he so
desires, in saving while he is in the
army. The Government grants to
every soldier the privilege of depos
iting with the treasurer of the Unit
ed States any amount not less than
five dollars, and allows him four
per cent interest.
upon the completion of thirty
years service, the soldier may re-
tire on three-quarters of the pay he
is receiving at the time of his re-
tirement For example, if a soldier
retires as a first sergeant, the gov
eminent will pay him for the rest
of his life $3.50 a month and re-
quire no service in return.
"The advantages of travel which
army service affords is an important
consideration. The army not only
offers but encourages all kinds of
clean and healthful sports. Each
company has it's own amusement
room where the soldier may play
billiards, pool chess, and checkers.
The separate organizations and posts
have their baseball and football
teams.
Education is a prominent feature
of army life Men who have not
had the advantage Of extensive
schooling will find in the army facil-
tiles for acquiring a good education
At all posts there are schools for
the instruction of enlisted men in
grammar, arithmetic, geography, his
tory, algebra, and other studies COM
prised in a common school course.
There are also schools where en-
listed men can learn the trade of
the saddler, horseshoer, baker, cook
Instruction given in the schools fit
the men to become good practical
firemen, electricians, engineers,
draughtsmen, surveyors and wireless
operators.
The army has recruiting stations
in nearly every principal city in the
United States and in many of the
smaller towns. Should one not be
certain of the location of the near
est station, it may be ascertained
by writing to the Adjutant-G General
of the Army, Washington, D. G.

HIS BACkACHE GONE

Just how dangerous a backache,
sore muscles, aching joints Or rheu-
matte pains may be is sometimes
realized only when life insurance is
refused on account of kidney trouble.
Joseph c. Wolf, of Green Bay, WIS,
writes: Foley Kidney Pills relieved
me of a severe backache that had
bothered me for several months. -
Take Foley Kidney pills for weak
lame back and weary sleepless
nights.-Speidel & Speidel.

Plans For Tones Meet

Arthur j. Ford, of Tome School,
Port Deposit, announces that arrange
ments have been completed with the
Colchester Company for the running
of a special boat from Baltimore to
Port Deposit on May 20 the day of
Tones big field and track meet. The
Susqueharna, carrying 900 passen-
gers, will be used on that occasion. 1t
will leave Baltimore at $50. arrive at
Port Deposit at l o'clock, and return
again to Baltimore at o'clock. The
trip up the bay and the short journey
on the Susquehanna river make an
unusually beautiful ride, and many
Ba atimoreans prefer to come that way
Every train, also. that comes into
Fort Deposit that day is thronged and
hundreds drive in from the farms and
estates of the surrounding country. 1t
is the biggest day, athletically speak
ing, that Tome has during the year
and the greatest affair of the kind held
in the entire South
The program will consist of about
- events, including open events, nov
ice events. rural high school events
midget relay races and dashes and a
faculty relay race.
The victors will receive gold, silver
and bronze medals. A handsome sill
yer cup will be given to the highest
roint-winner in the open events, the
school winning the meet will be award
C silver-mounted plaque, and ban
Eer will be given to the school scoring
the most points in the county high
school events.
Tome possesses a remarkably at
tractive setting for a field and track
meet. inasmuch as the track and oval
are situated on an elevated plateau
carved out of the hill which bounds it
on the north, and the athletic field has
something of the appearance of the
ancient Greek amphitheater. The
grandstand. curved to follow the out
lines of the track, ad.s considerably to
this impression. From the grand
stand there is a splendid view of the
magnificent buildings; the campus,
with the beautiful Italian garden; the
Susquehanna river and the Hartford
hills in the distance.
Never before have as many accept
ances to the meet been received and
rever before has interest and enthus-
iasm waXed so keen. The Tome man
agement is making preparations for a
monster affair, and it is almost certain
that this, the tenth of the Tome an
nual field and track meets. will eclipse
ell preceding ones in size and bril-
liancV

Lewisville's Elopement

Robert NJ. Tryon, of Philadelphia,
and Miss Blanche Evelyn Wilson,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Will
son. Of Lewisville, Pa, walked to Elk
ton. distance of eleven miles, Thurs
day of last week, where they were
married, leaving on the 2:27 train for
Philadelphia, the home of the groom.
Miss Wilson left home with Tyron in
the absence of her parents, and start
ed for Elkton, when some neighbors
saw the couple and telephoned to Mr..
Wilson, at Providence paper mills,
where he is employed. He went after
the young couple but could not get
his daughter to return home. The
bride was almost worn out when she
reached Elkton. and her condition was
not in the least surprising in view of
the long jaunt and the present state
of the roads.

FRANCE CAMPAIGN MEETS GENERAL FAVOR

-Four full weeks remain of the Pri-
mary Campaign for the nomination of
a candidate for United States Senator.
There are two candidates in the Re-
publican Party who have qualified by
filing their papers with the Secretary
of State. Doctor France was the first
to qualify and from present indica-
tions has decided advantage in the
race. His supporters have taken the
broad position of proposing a candi-
date who is the most likely to win in
the general election. They argue con-
vincingly that Republican candidate
to be successful must be able to Sc
cure, first, the full Republican vote,
second, the full Progressive vote and
third, a large number of the Indepen-
dents and Democrats. Doctor France
having not been allied with any parti-
Cular faction in the party is generally
acceptable to all elements in the party,
while the assurance of Honorable
Charles j. Bonaparte and the support
of Honorable George l.. Wellington
and other leading Progressives make
it clear that he is acceptable to the
Progressive party. Furthermore, Doc
tor France is just the type of man
whom the typical Independent Demo-
crat delights to support. Thus the
friends of the Doctor feel that he is
strong with each of the three classes
Of voters necessary for success. On
the other hand. Governor Goldsbor-
ough has made many enemies within
his own party during his long career
as an active nolitical office holder and
candidate, Distribution of patronage
and active political leadership inevi-
tably has this effect. Again his nomi-
nation would not be acceptable to the
Progressive Party because he was the
active leader of the opposing faction
in 1912 In the third place, he has

Wilmington Conference In Session

The forty-eighth session of the Will
mington Methodist Episcopal Confer
e.ce opened at Union Church, III
Wilmington, Wednesday morning.

Of Philadelphia, presiding.
Rev, w. A. Wise was reelected
Conference secretary and appointed
KEYS. W. r. Mowbray, W. L. Green
"c,d, l.. Z. Poole and ID. W. Jacobs as
his assistants. Rev. w. E. Gunby was
elected statistical secretary, succeed
ing Rev Ii. A. G.. Westerfeld, who is
i'll. Rev George p. Jones, of Elkton,
was made a member of the Conference
Relations Committee
The paatora. relation of Revs. w. G..
Rooms, Wilmer Jaggard, Il former
pastor Of Zion Circuit. 7. f. Martin
dale, former pastor of Elkton NJ. f..
Church, was changed from effective
t. retired and the relation of II. A G..
Wcstertie.d, who has filled several
charges in this county, from effective
to superHumerary.
On Thursday. ON motion of the Rev.
Mr.. Cooke, 1890 o'clock Friday morn
ing was set as the time for electing
TOUR delegates to the General Confer
ence. An impression prevailed that
Drs. Eodecker, Watt, Stephenson and
O'Brien, the district superintendents,
would be the men chosen.
DR.. CorIran urged the members of
Conference from Caroline, Talbot,
Queen Anne and Kent counties to send
kilograms to the Maryland Senator's
urging them to vote for the Hall Anti
Racetrack bill, which had passed in
the House.
In addition to the Ministerial Con-
ference, the Lay Conference. which
meets every four years, convened in
Union Church Friday morning for an
all-day session, the most important
business to come before the Lay Con-
ference being the election of four
delegates to the General Conference.
Further details of the Conference
work and the appointments will be
given in our columns next week.

been too actively associated with Re-
publican politics to be especially ac
ceptable to the Independent and nom
affiliated classes.
Thus the logic of the situation when
viewed from the standpoint of select
ing a candidate most likely to win in
the general election demands the no.
mination of Doctor France. AS the
rank and file of the party are primar.
lily interested in winning elections ra-
ther than in the mere triumphs of
particular faction. Doctor France
has far outstripped his opponent in
the race The indications are that
Doctor France is leading in every
county in the State except Dorchester
and that he has such united support
in Baltimore City that Governor
Goldsborough is not likely to carry a
single ward. In Baltimore City, he
not only has the support of the regu-
lar organization and of the Heintze-
man influences but also of the anti
organization people, who opposed Mr..
Weller last fall. George w. Cameron
and Levi A. Thompson. the managers
of Mr.. Warburton's campaign, are
working actively for Doctor France.
The France neople have announced
that they will not make a fight in
Dorchester courty against Governor
Goldsborough. This decision is in line
with the best interests of the party
and is convincing testimony of their
sincere efforts to nominate a candi-
aate who can be elected. The Colds
borough people, on the other hand,
have not reciprocated but are trying
to embarrass the Doctor in his own
county, Cecil. the indications being
however, that their efforts are having
little success This is not a wise policy
and is already reacting in favor of
Doctor France.
