When Your Foot Is Asleep.

After being for long time in con
strained attitude a peculiar numbness
and pricking are often felt in the arm
leg or foot This is caused by some in
terruption to the circulation and can
usually be removed by rubbing or ex
ercise. The reason of the sensation
which is decidedly uncomfortable while
1t lasts. is that pressure for II certain
length of time deadens the sensibility
of a nerve When this pressure is sud

GET READY FOR MARYLAND
WEEK.

At the recent meeting of the Exec.
utive Committee of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Society and affiliated organ
izations, it was decided to hold the
Maryland Week Exhibition this year
from November IA to 18. 1t Is urged
by the committee that local oranges
and farmers clubs begin to plan at
once for exhibits to the state show.
1t points out that members Of such
organizations have been in the past
among the most active supporters of
the show With the passing years this
competition has grown steadily keen
er and those organizations or individ-
uals that win laurels at this years
show should be hard at work plan
ming for their part in the big affair.
There is no better way for the local
grange or club to place itself and its
neighborhood on the map than by win
ming a high place in the club exhibit
class. The members who Immediately
after harvest turn their earnest at
tention to planning such an exhibit
are laying the foundation for a fruit
ful career as the most useful organiza-
ton Of their community. Neither
should they attempt such an exhibit
without first holding local show for
the benefit Of their own neighborhood
IN this work the help of the County
Demonstration Agent will be found OF
the greatest help. There is no work
in which he is more anxious to sue
ceed than in developing local spirit
and pride in agricultural production.

HUGHES MAY ACCEPT
G. 0. P. NOMINATION
JUSTICE REFUSES TO REPLY TO
QUERY PROPOUNDED BY EDITOR
OF CHICAGO HERALD.
Believes New York Man Will Decide
to Make Race for the
Presidency.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 4.-The belief
that Justice Hughes of the United
States Supreme court will accept the
republican nomination for president if
he is the choice of the convention next
June is expressed in the Herald in a
story evidently prepared by James
Kelley, editor of the Chicago news
paper.
The Herald on Sunday said:
I'm view of the great and growing
curiosity all over the country as to
whether Justice Hughes of the United
State supreme court will accept the
nomination for president should it be
given him by the republican national
convention in Chicago next June, the
editor of the Herald week ago on
Saturday wrote letter to Mr.. Hughes
asking him that question.
Justice Hughes has not answered
and will not, so the Herald is in
formed.
Aside from any construction that
may be placed on the Justices silence
the Herald has excellent authority for
stating that Mr. Hughes will accept
the nomination and make the race as
the republican candidate for the presi-
dency

Building up the National Guard to
point of efficiency where 1t would
really be a bulwark against an In
vading foe, was advocated as the
first step in preparedness by Mr.
JeWett.
Two other speakers presented in
teresting arguments for preparedness
They were Detroit military men who
are making special efforts to arouse
industrial executives to the economic
! advantages of Strengthening the Ma
tional Guard and at the same time
creating a higher standard of eff
cheney among the workers
Major Waldo gave talk outlining
the character and scope of the Ma
tional Guard and dwelt particularly
upon the duty American industries
owe the country and which should
earn their cooperation in policy
that meant safeguarding their inter
ests. The major made it plain that
while he desired peace with all his
heart, it must be Peace With Honor"
as Lincoln said, and he showed that in
all history no nation could maintain
peace and honor without the power to
fight for it.
Captain Pickert, who represents
the cavalry branch of the National
Guard, stated that all the business
men of the country should follow the
example Of such concerns as the Paige
and Packard, whose executives are in
terested in America for Americans"
and who are giving their time and
energy to the work OF organized pre-
paredness.
The lack of information on the
National Guard by the average Am
erican citizen is the only thing that
keeps this important institution from
being an efficient military unit,
claims Captain Pickert. He further
stated that the military training was
valuable from an industrial stand
point because it made better citizens,
taught men how to keep physically
it, made them alert, quick to act, will
ing to obey their superiors, and in
tact, created greater efficiency in the
workers.
Both Major Waldo and Captain
Pickert are firm in the belief that
American captains of industry have
| share in the responsibility OF this
nations preparedness and should give
more attention to the future by instil-
ing into the minds of their men the
deals of American citizenship and
oyalty.
