patch from Athens said the former
sultan was living in Smyrna.

A committee Of our citizens has secured
what they believe pleasant way in which to
boost St. Mary's County and to bring together
our people who, after the hard work Of harvest
ing, richly deserve the recreation that will be
afforded. The Radcliffe Chautauqua has been
again secured and those who attended the per
formances last year will remember what high
grade of entertainment was furnished
Besides the entertainment feature, the Chau-
tauqua embraces wider scope. Its object is to
stimulate a renewal Of the community spirit and
pride in the county and thus to promote the
well-being Of our Poop e A community Of
spirit creates an enthusiasm which is apt to dis
play itself in some direction. The old saying
that everything comes to him who waits may
have been true in the old days, but in the pres
ent age, if person wants something he must
90 after it. We believe there is a go-ahead
spirit in the county that on needs slight
impetus to carry us further along the road Of
progessiveness to good results, and we believe
that after we have started with the renewed
energy the benehcients effects will be felt i'm
medately. A number of communities that are
now thriving centers Of wealth and industry re-
ceived their impetus from just such gathering
as is anticipated will assemble for the perform
ances, but even if not much in the way of a
boon" comes from it, pleasant and profitable
time seems assured The dates are September
9th, 4th and | 5th.

In his acceptance Of the Democratic nomina-
tion at Shadow Lawn on Saturday last, Mr..
Wilson gave an account Of his stewardship for
four years of administration of the affairs of our
government that not only reflects credit to him
self and party, but also merits the worldwide
commentator his splendid craftsmanship has
commanded. He showed that he and the par
y had kept the faith, had exercised keen
judgment and careful consideration in dealing
with the weighty questions that have arisen dur
his term as President. He outlined definite
policy for the future. No man since the days
Of Washington and Lincoln has been placed in
such position as Mr.. Wilson, and his able
management deserves to be classes with their
achievements. He went further than merely
justifying his record. Only last week, when
confronted with matter that would have
paralyzed the industrial activity Of the country.
he succeeded In having rushed though Congress
the necessary legislation to prevent SO dire a
calamity.
To all Of our readers we urge the perusal Of
the address. 1t is characterized by straight
forwardness, honesty and keen appreciation
Of the many phased American endeavor. He
has administered his country's affairs with clear
ness, foresight and honor He stands for
American ideals. not hyphenated ofce-seeking
catering to mere votes. Tie not only stands for
America, but he has shown himself capable Of
having his policies in the main adopted, and
they have proven the proper solutions for this
progressive age.

FOR SUCCESS WITH CHICKENS
Not So Much Depends on How Many Are Hatched as Upon What Per
 centaoe Are Raised.

Success with chickens depends not so much on how many are matched as upon what percentage is raised. The cold rains we have had recently found many early matched chicks ready prey. An accident rather than acute reason ing once placed us in possession of what we consider the very best way to save the life of chilled, wet chick. There were so many soaked at one time that we simply could not wrap them separately or place them in the oven. A pan of very warm water on the range prompted the man of the house to suggest dipping the chicks as he had dipped small pigs. For lack of anything better, we tried it, dipping the chicks and wrapping up several to- gether in flannel cloths. It worked like magic. The warm water seemed to affect them much quicker than dry clothes or moderate heat would have done. Since then, we've restored young chicks so far gone we doubted they had any life left in them.

 Very Small Task.

'T have always had my hens nests

Cleaning these houses is such a small task it need not be dreaded writes Mrs. L. B. Armour of Pleasant Hill, La, in Progressive Farmer. Every portion of them can be easily reached. Then they can be

TO DISCOURAGE SITTING HEN
Rocking Coop Will Force Fowl te Roost on Center Shaft-Quick
 Results Are Assured.

"The device consists of a coop made of lath about two feet square and swung on a shaft set a little above the center so that most of the weight will be below the shaft on the lower part of the coop. The ends of the shaft are set on posts about three feet above the ground. It is impossible for a hen to sit on the slated bottom, and if an attempt is made, the rocking and tipping of the coop will soon make her seek moro stable support. and the only one within the coop is the shaft passing through it; and the most persistent broody hen Is usually glad to roost on it the first night,

placed under a sheltering shed during winter and under cool, shady trees in summer.
 They are built on posts 1 feet high and arc IF feet in length and 5 feet wide. There are two rows of IF nests, one on each side of the door. A single 12-inch plank forms the floor of the hall between the nests. Eight-inch blanks form the wall behind the nests. The roof is made of four 12-inch blanks, two on each side. The ones just above the rows of nests are hinged and are opened upward.
 Besides Tightening the work of mite fighting, these houses have dark nests, which all hens like, and are good pro- lection against nest-robbing dogs. A short ladder at each door is necessary for the hens to get to the nests.'

SOME IRISH CoaNoMENS.
Msanlnss Attached to tho Most Como
 mon of khe surnamee.

Meanings Attached to ths Most conI.l
 mon of ths surnamse.
 The fact is not generally known that Ireland was the first country in mod ern Europe to enforce the adoption of surnames by law. The act prescribing their general use was passed more than. a. hundred years before the Anglo Nor man invasion. whereas surnames did not come into general use in, England until the days, of Queen Elizabeth nor In Wales till late In the seventeenth century.
 There are some interesting meanings attaching to the mOst"common Of Irish names. says the London Tit-Bits. Here are few with the curious changes of spelling that have come, about since the names first originated:
 Murphy came from 'O'Murphy, Nor phey and Morphew. meaning "superi orr" Kelly came from O'Kelly. KIely, Keeley, meaning flor war;" 0'Connor came from ConnOrs, Conerty, meaning helper" and Dougherty from O'Do- herty, Doherty, Daughaday, meaning destroyer" It is noticeable that all Irish names at the first stage in their history had "O'" before them, the first change consisting of dropping that "0." It will not be necessary there. fore to repeat the name with the "O'" before 1t.
 Sullivan was originally Sillifant and Sullivant, meaning quick sIghted;" O'Donnen and Mcdonnell and all com binations of that name were Donald, Daniel, Dona, meaning dark chief" Moloney was O'Mulowney, Meloney. Mullany, meaning thoughtful" Me Cormack was O'Cormack; McCormac, Mccormick, meaning son of the crown" Flynn was Flann, meaning red" Flannigan was Finnigen, mean. ing druid" Boyle was Boylan, Bo- land, Bolan, Boylin, meaning "benlgn;" O'Brian was Bryan, Bryant, Brines, Bryon, meaning author" Brady was McBrady, meaning ship captain" and Macauley was O'Cawlew, McGawly, McAuly. McAuliff, Cawley, meaning "echo," or literally "son of the rock"

GRADING DIAMONDS.
Qualities In Stones of the First, Second
 and Third Water.

Qualities In Stones of the First, Second
 and Third Water.
 "A diamond of the first water should be entirely COlOrIeSs and transparent, without any inclusion or flaw says the Scientific American. Tt Is of the second water If 1t is colorless with small but unimportant faults or if 1t iS without faults, but with some traces of color, and third water If 1t Is cOlOrless. but with larger faults or if it is dis tinctly colored. The correct valuation Is therefore very difficult and often subject to the jewellers judgment For this reason Professor ROsiwal gives to the layman the following hints:
 'The requisite in stones of the first water Is perfect lack of color or, what Is more highly prlzed, a tinge of blue In general, beautifully colored dia monds command fabulous prices and are to be found only in the treasure vaults of princes.
 Stones of the second water are nu merous. They are supposed to be mi croScOpicaly pure, but almost alWayS show some inclusions. There are often times traces of yellow color in this grade, and because this can be seen best in sunlight one should never buy diamonds at night, for the prevailing lights cause stones that are even no ticeably yellowish to appear clear.
 Most of the stones of the ordinary market are Of the third quality, and the dealers try to cover up their faults by combining them Into groups for Dor der stones or for the popular pendants, diamond hearts. marquise rings, etc While they may be cOlorless, they are often so full of flaws that they would be ranked as bort, or diamonds good only for mechanical purposes, If there had not been such demand for the gems as to increase the price"

A Cause of Drowninu,

In swimming under Il blazing sun the body Is submerged at low tempera ture, while the full force of the sun bCats on the unprotected head. To add to the obvious dangers of such a state Of things the blood Is forced into the head by the pumping action of the limbs in swimming. thus causing the al teries in other parts of the body to be overfued. The consequence Is often q violent headache. which may be fol lowed by insensibility. The swimmer sinks and unless help Is at hand adds another to the long list of the mysterl ously drowned.
