National Guardsmen
Called to the Colors

Washington. - Virtually the
entire mobile strength of the
National Guard of all the States
and the District of Co!um bia
was ordered mustered into the
Federal service by President
Wilson. About 100000 men are
expected to respond to the call.
They will be mobilized immedi-
ately for such service On the
Mexico border as may later be
assigned to them.
Gen. Funston, commanding
the border forces, will designate
the time and place for move
meats OF guardsmen to the inter-
national line as the occasion
shall require.
In announcing the orders Sec
retary Baker said the State
forces would be employed only
to guard the border and that no
additional troop movements in
to Mexico were contemplated ex-
cept IN pursuit of raiders.

The National Campaign

The great national campaign,
with the presidency of the Uni
ted States as the stake, is now
fully under way.
There were no big surprises at
either national convention. The
candidates nominated were in
evita ble. Wilson aud Marshall,
again leading the Democratic
hosts are opposed by Hughes and
Fairbanks.
Surprise is manifested in some
quarters at the good behavior of
Roosevelt and Bryan as neither
one made trouble fo. their re-
spective parties. ALI good Dem
ocrats, however hope that Roose.
velt will be unable to remain on
his good behavior and will yet
add something to the gaity of
the situation by kicking over the
traces and starting something.
A Faithful Old Soldier Gone
Mr.. David Watson died on
June 18th at his home about 3
miles west of Society Hill. Mr..
Watson was in his 10th year and
was well known in the country,
and his death will no doubt be a
sad surprise to a large mum Der of
his friends in the county. He
was born on Dec. Is, 1910.
Mr.. Watson had been in bad
health for some years and had
been confined to his room about
three months.
He was good man and a
friend in need rs we'll as in deed.
He believed in his place of wor-
ship and was always at his
church for Sunday school as well
as for preaching, when he was
able to go.
He went through the Civil
War and was fortunate enough
to safely return home. Some
years after that he married Miss
Annie Byrd and in 1883 she died |
leaving four sons and one daugh-
ter. Then few years later he |
married Miss Mary Jane Byrd
and they have lived very happy |
ever since.
Mr.. Watson was a devoted hus.
band and loving father, and a
friend to every body.
His remains were laid to rest
on June Sth at the new church
which is about one mile from his
home. The funeral services
were held in the cemetery, as
the church would not have held
half the crowd.
The pail bearers were as fol-
lows: Messrs. j. ii. Dickson,
John Hogge, Lonnle Edwards,
Dave Jones. Ed freeman, and
Joe Gainey.
The deceased is survived by
his wife, three sons and twenty
grandchildren, and three great
grandchildren.
HIS sons are Messrs. Charlie /
Watson, of Society Hill; Will /
Watson, of Darlington, and John
Watson, of Florence.
Our deepest sympathy is ex-
tended to the tereaved ones.

his papers with the Boards of Election

out, are each and every one responsible
for the nomination of their congression-

packing places will be modern in every
particular.
There will be one committee, made
up of experienced men, to arrange for
the transportation and handling of all
potatoes raised here This committee
will also make a constant effort to
awaken general interest in the pro-
duction of seed potatoes throughout

back of the movement, will hold a
number of conferences during the year
with the potato growers and will offer
substantial aid to the movement until
the ASSOCIATION becomes self-supporting.

BOYHOOD RESPONSIBILITIES

Recently small boy in a Maryland
town was asked by his schoolteacher to
write down what he did after school
hours, and the following was the re-
suit.
Il pick eggs, get in the wood, feed
the chickens and get down hay for the
horses and cows, and get in straw, and
have to give the cats some milk, and
water the chickens, and. draw water
for the kitchen, and bed down the cows,
and set the table, and pick I'D chips and
set things straight in the celler."
To most American men of middle age
that list of chores has a very familiar
sound. They are the tasks for which
he was responsible every night after he
left the schoolroom and often it was
the penalty of the rod if he loitered
after school to .indulgessin. an hour of
play with his comrades.
The modern city boy, however, has
far different program from this lad in
Maryland country town. The city
home can furnish no choresland but few
responsibilities. The greatest task its
sons have after leaving school is to de-
eide the momentous question of whether
they will go skating, coasting or to the
movies.
A man who can look back upon boy
hood of old-fashioned school days.
supplemented with old-fashioned chores,
will see how much must be added to the
modern city school system before he
can give his son the same chance to
develop efficiency and character that
he had.

Maryland has brought herself to the
front among the progressive states of

views on the issues that will be involved
in the approaching national campaign,
the Allegany countian refers to the
fact that the Sixth District Republican
Congressional nominee, like the party's
candidates for president and wee presi-
dent. and for national offices through
out the country, will be bound to stand
by the platform, which will be built and
ratified by the Republicans assembled
in national convention in June next.

will make for the progress, protection,
prosperity and preparedness of thenation

tor gives as his guarantee his progress

his appeal, Senator Zihlman says his
duties at Annapolis will prevent him
from making an extended canvass of
the district, but that he proposes to
devote the time between the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly and the
May primaries in an effort to meet
personally as many of the voters of the
district as possible. Senator Zihlman is
already well known throughout the
Sixth district, as he thoroughly can
vassed that entire field in 1914, when he
made remarkable fight against the
then strongly mtrenched Congressman
David j. Lewis. His personality left a
lasting mark throughout the district
and the Senator has already received

had been some little talk about the sale

THE HOME TOWN.


Occasionally we hear perpetual poun-
ders rapping the home town. We find
them exhibiting some article Of wear
ing apparel or something else that they
purchased in an adjoining city, and we
frequently find them asking for some
particular make of shoes or something
else that they know the home merch-
ant doesn't handle. These are the
boys who never have a word of en-
enlargement for the home city or any
enterprise therein and who seem to
take secret delight when the plans of
the boosters occasionally seem set back.
You never find them at the boom meet
ings. you never find them hoping with
the optimists, but always pounding
with the pessimists. They never hit a
homer for HomerDurg, they never bat
high IN the houghers league, they never
have their enthusiasm warmed in the
sunlight Of good cheer. Chilly fellows.
these. frigd fellows. and forever frown-
ing. These hinder Homeburg. Thew
are the knockers who put the knock in
the machinery that propels the people
on their way up hill.
What relief it is to get away from
these fellows and into the group that is
filled with the fire of enthusiasm. You
know the group, Jerome, the group
that has faith in the future that feels
certain that the long delayed era of new
life will come. And with enough of
boosters behind the hope for higher
things, behind the hope for bigger
and better city, the hope is certain to
be some day realized. Boosters build,
and in so doing they help hope. Hope

has to be helped.
Out in the mining regions of the
West are many great cities of yester-
day, sad remnants of the glory that has
gone, of long since ''petered out" and
the mad rush has raced onward and
elsewhere. But still there are the
boosters, the faithful, sitting amidst
the neglected and deserted buildings of
the boom days, firm in their conviction
that the boom will return, certain that
the skeleton will revive Its lusty life of
yesterday. What a splendid lesson
these faithful old pioneers present!
Not long ago visited city that in
creased but single person between the
years of 1900 and 1910. But that city
has its boosters who believe that it
should have exactly the population and
the industries that Louisville, KY,
now has, and they feel firmly that one
day Louisville WILDE on the Indiana side
of the Ohio. That's spirit-the real
booster spirit-the spirit that defies
decline and hopes for the height of the
hill for Hamburg.
There must be a strong manifesto
ton of civic pride at home, Jerome, be-
fore there can be any strong magnet to
attract an influx from without. Be-
cause a brass band makes loud and
pleasing music it attracts a crowd
always. And in the same manner folk
flock to the city that makes the most
noise, and the noise of thrift, of in
dustry, of concerted action, is the noise.
New York, for instance, is getting to
be quite town because it has always
made quite a noise. So if you have
something to say. say it for and not
against the home town. If you have
something to buy, buy it at home. If
you have hammer hide it, or hide
yourself.
