Delightful Picnic.

The picnic held by the United Breth-
rem Sunday School in Eylers Grove Sat-
urday last proved to be delightful af-
fair. While no great big crowd of people
were present, yet those who were there
seemed to have very good time. Elder
Welty Fahrney of Frederick, Rev. Ship
ley of Buckeystown, and Rev. Harner of
Thurmont, made very interesting ad-
dresses in behalf of the Temperance
cause. The festival held in the evening
was very largely attended.

with the belief that the United
States is the only nation Of Import
ance west of the British Isles. Most
of us retain that subconsciOus feel
ing in later years and have it Jared
out of us only after rude awaken
ings through information that has
to be thrust upon us.
Nine. Nelson believes It would be
worth while to sacrifice something
of our knowledge of Europe for a
more intimate knowledge of the
annals of the American republics.
In them exist experiments in poll
tics and in democracy that furnish
Illuminating information to the stu
dent Of politics and economy. South
America has not been solely hodge
podge Of revolutionary states. Some
Of the countries there have histories
worthy of the closest study; none
more so than the Argentine Repub-
lie, whence Nine. Nelson comes.
Nine. Nelson has demonstrated
the superior merits of education in
spreading propaganda. Instead of
preaching the advance Of women
instead of urging them, when they
were unprepared and unified, to
jump into the arena Of economic and
political life-she has gone among
the South American nations spread
ing the gospel Of education for
women in colleges and universities,
until nearly every such institution in
Pan-American nations has
thrown open its doors to women. Her
claim that education of the young,
instead of preaching to the old folk,
is the way to better International
ism among Pan-American nations is
worthy of consideration.

NOW FOR SOMR REAL
PRO0RESSi

Let it be borne in mind always
that the select committee of Con-
gress which has recommended the
abolition of particular method Of
making Federal contributions to
District support, does not recon-
mend that the contributions be dis
continued. Rather, it recommends
that a policy of liberal and continu-
Gus contributions by the nation be
! adopted.
There is no more reason why the
relations between national and local
governments should not be read
Justed now, than there was, forty
years ago, when the half-and-half
plan was adopted to meet the ex-
igencies of that time. A new ex-
igency has arisen, demanding differ
ent handling. Then, the town was
bankrupt; the particular thing it
needed was to be saved from its
creditors. Today conditions are SO
completely changed that everybody
wants to be the creditor of the
town; its credit is substantially the
same as that of the Federal Gov
eminent, which is the best in the
world.
But while this much of financial
rehabilitation has been wrought I'M
der the half-and-half plan, there is
yet wide field in which the need for
advancement Of a very different sort
is keenly realized. The Government
has not been able to keep pace with
modern tendencies in the handling
of what may roughly be called social
and community problems. There
must be determination of many new
policies toward new issues. The
people of the city are entitled to a
larger voice, freer hearing, a more
generous recognition of their pri-
mary concern about many things
that intimately affect them as resi-
dents here, while having only re-
mote relation to the status of the
city as Capital of the nation and
real world-city.
Throughout the report of the Sc
lect committee breathes the spirit Of.
candid recognition and frank under
standing of this state of affairs. The
anomalous form Of government here
must always somewhat subordinate
merely local sentiment and aspira-
tons to the larger national purposes
in dealing with the city. But, after
all, Washington is not alone in this
subordination of local concerns to a
higher authority; the State legis-
latures have not granted real home
rule to their cities; New York is
hampered at Albany. and Chicago is
not infrequently ham-strung at
Springfield. Washington needs, as
those cities do, larger part in the
direction of its own affairs; and
there is gratifying indication, in the
and understanding report
of the select committee, that that
fact is to be recognized in future.

FEEDING THE CALF

Take SIS worth of yearling calf.
Take $15 worth of fodder and feed
it to the calf. If the calf isn't worth
more" than $50 by that time It is
plain to be seen you've embarked on
a losing deal. Better have sold your
calf and your fodder separate in the
first instance and spent the rest Of
your time selling lightning rods.
That is the way our farmers
figure and that is why there was
some very earnest discussion recent
ly before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science in
Chicago. The particular science
which it was sought to advance was
that of stocking the calf so there
would be profit in it. 1t seems
now there isn't.
"There has been a constantly de-
Ginning per capita consumption Of
meat in the United States" said
President H. j. Waters, of the
Kansas Agricultural College, "yet
we eat almost double the average
individual amount of meat con-
sumed by the people of the world.
Meat production or any form of ami
NAL production must yield larger
tangible profit than is obtained
from the selling of raw materials
from the farm before we may hope
TO keep enough people engaged in
the meat business to supply our
needs"
For twenty years, DR.. Waters
showed, animal production has been
losing ground. Within the memory
of men now living the raising of
cattle consisted simply in following
them about as they grazed on the
unfenced prairies and of killing off
part of the herd whenever the
market seemed favorable. That
was making nature foot the bill for
the calf's keep. 1t was getting
something for nothing, which isn't
business, but charity.
But with food animals constantly
diminishing in proportion to popu-
lation something else has to be
done. Here is a problem for our
ambitious youth. Let them con-
slider the calf and tell us what to
do about him. 1t may be a pressing
problem in their generation.

sLUMs IN WASHINGTON

Washington has been hearing
some unpleasant truths about itself
recently Before the American Civic
Association a noted city planning
expert said that the city planning
OF the National Capital extended
only to it's front doors. He asserted
that the interiors Of blocks had been
neglected, that houses were not pro-
vided with adequate lighting, and
that our back yard planning had
been almost negligible.
Now comes Senator Works, who
has shown himself friend of Wash
ington, and calls attention again to
our slums. We are accustomed to
proudly tell strangers that we have
no slum sections. That may be true;
but we do have slums in homeo-
pathic doses, surprisingly near our
best homes, and adjoining our best
streets. In the aggregate these
slum blocks, courts, and alleys
would not form Stun section which
any city would like to own. Be-
cause our sore spots have been scat
tered they have escaped the notice
Of many casual observers,
Perhaps Senator Works arraign-
nent of some phases of Washington
affairs is too severe. We do not be-
lieve the city to have been dominated
by slums, by saloons, by red light
district, or by vice of any sort. But
previous surveys have shown that
there is plenty Of room to clean up,
and after eliminating a few spots
like Willow Tree alley there is
enough left to be done without set
Ting back upon our oars.
Fortunately Senator Works, un-
like some other critics, puts the
blame where it belongs, sGuarely
upon the shoulders of Congress. He
points to the condition that long has
distressed Capital residents, of a
Congress spending money without
question upon all sorts of pork bar
rel and vague reform schemes
throughout the country, and then
pairing appropriations to the penny
when it comes to maintaining the
National Capital.

giant kelp Of the Pacific coast, the
alunite deposits of Utah, the field
spar rocks Of our Eastern noun

in California, will furnish ample
supplies of potash in the future, and
that cheaper electric power will ex-
tract nitrogen from the air in such
quantities and at such rates that we
shall not have to depend on Chile,
this outlook is only cold comfort to
the farmer now preparing to make
ready the soil for the next crops.
He will have to learn to utilize all
those sources of potash which have
been recklessly or ignorantly wasted,
Tree trimmings, brush cuttings, use

the valuable manure obtained be
