France In Western MARYLAND

Dir. Joseph Irwin France, Repubu-
can candidate for U. S. Senate, con-
cluded weeks campaigning in Alleg-
hany and Garrett counties on Satur-
day night, when he reached his home
near Port Deposit for a week end 5
rest. This week he has spent in Bal
timore, comforting with political work
ers and getting up his mail. The re-
ports from the western end of the
State al! predict that DR.. France will
poll very large vote in that section,
where Congressman Lewis, his Demo
cratic opponent has become much
weakened by his devious political
course and his erratic governmental
theories. The men of the mines,
farms and machine shops, as we'll as
business interests declare themselves
fatty against any further continuance
of the Wilson administration.

Another Job For State Machine

The Smith Harrington Democratic
State Machine continues to show its
power and to land jobs for its hench-
men. It's latest performance is to
force the appointment of "Bill" Gar
land to a clerkship in the office of the
Industrial Accident Commission. The
Commission baked at the appoint
ment, but the Smith orders had to be
obeyed and Garland-of most unsav-
ory fame-lands the clerkship, an
other tribute by Smith and Harring-
ton to the power of "The" Kelly of the
red-light district.
Anybody, who can stand for the
political performances of the Smith
Harrington Democratic Machine in
this State, can stand for ANYTHING.

Bad Harvest Weather

The farmers in this section have
every reason to be in a very anxious
state of mind. Since wheat was cut
the season has been unusually rainy.
Almost no wheat has been threshed
and very little stacked or put into
barns. 1t has been too wet. The result
is that much anxiety is felt as to whe-
ther the wheat in shocks is going to he
able to withstand the incessant rains.
A good deal of damage has been done
already and more is likely to follow
unless weather conditions improve
rapidly.

Urges Civic Activity.
That Rotary is the greatest dor
mant power in the world today and
that through its direction great good
can be accomplished in civic affairs,
was the thought advanced by James
o. Craig of Chicago. on the sub
ject What Part Should Rotary
Clubs Play in Civic Affairs?" Mr..
Craig called attention TO what had
been accomplished by the South
Bend Rotary club in securing a play
ground for the city. He cited this
as an illustration OF how Rotarians
could assist in directing the plans
OF city betterment and thus often
accomplish much good without adj
ditional expense. 1t was the duty
of members, he said, to awake the
dormant power Of the clubs and
thus develop a civic asset.
Donald NJ. Carter Of Chicago led
the discussion on this subject. He
called attention TO the idea that the
destiny Of this country is 20 develop
self government. we have now
Dnly the form of self government"
he said. and we do not know how
TO use that form. 1t is our place to
lead the people in learning self gov
eminent by practice There are
city state and national problems TO
take up and Il is by activity in these
matters that we must keep alive the
principle of self government"

MEETING Of R0TARIANS BROUGHT
TO CLOSE WITH BIC BANQUET

Rotarians had called attention TO
the fact that their vision was OF men

a discussion Of the subject OF

Frank L. Mulholland. past interna-
ti0nal president. II was the Opin-
ION that men who sought TO do bust

Hotarians were men who were sim
ply seeking their financial gain
through a pull and were men
unfit for membership in the organ
ization. II was held that the en-
hlem of the organization could not
properly be used as a trade mark

rotary" declared Mr.. Mulholland.
The man who becomes a Rotarian
must become one in order that he
may better the service rather than
that he may be served. The great
mission of the organization, par
ticularly i'm other countries, is to
break down the barriers which exist
between men Of various occupations.
New clubs are being formed on this
basis of service and the work that
they have started is "a work that
commands the admiration of the
business world. The admiration OF
members for their organization is
growing and Will continue to grow
in proportion to the advance of the
organization in the estimation of
non-membeTs."

Pres't Dick Miller of the Indian
apolis club urged careful attention
90 the weekly MONDAY meetings Of
Eotarians These meetings. he said,
were of vital Importance to the eX
istence Of Rotary for they were the
dynamic force which brought out the
spirit of the organization. This
spirit was kept alive not by senti-
mentalism but by the commingling
of men having the same aim. There
was particular need, Mr.. Miller held,
for the retaining of the roll call
at least once a month. He urged
also that simplicity be maintained
at the weekly meetings, although
not 20 the extent Of detracting from
the interest of the meetings which

tives, had prepared her for the long
race.
She stopped on shanty boats, and
at Vulture island she heard that she
was only day behind the little red
shanty boat. But now she had a
chance to travel with an old farmers
family. 1t was threatening weather
the spring crop rains seemed to be
at hand-and for a week she fioated
no more than few miles a day, hop-
ing for clear weather. .~spss.' 'Fzsss.sSt
. The next time she heard OF the little
red shanty boat it was only three
days ahead. Then, one murky norm
ing, she abandoned her friends, took
: to her canoe again, and started on.
AS she padded, the clouds broke
away, the sun came out, and the girl
knew that she had done well to fol-
low in the canoe. w
The river was full to the bank.
Orioles were singing in the elrns, and
bluejays were screaming in fiocks.
At night the mocklng birds were
dreaming In the willows. y ~
Lottie padded all day long, and
when night came she did not go ashore.
The river, she knew, was safe for the
100 miles to Mussel Shoals. Tired out
at last, the vengeance seeker curled
down on the straw in the bottom Of
the canoe and went to sleep. The sun
awakened her. 4
It was glorious spring day. Birds
song, the scent of countless blossoms
filled the air, the pale green Of new
born leaves colored the landscape,
and the river itself was the color of
liquid gold. In her heart the girl felt
that the chase was nearing an end.
She was weary and sad, and the
thought pleased her. y
She scanned the shores carefully,
watching the inlets lest the little red
shanty boat be tied up in one. AT
Decatur she studied the shanty-boat
town till she had seen every boat in
It, A few miles below she saw the
big floating sawmill, and one of the
deckhands warned her that the shoals
We're not far below.
Just before sundown she spied a
shanty boat making toward the south
bank in the bend below her. She ran
her canoe into the shadow OF the
trees and floated slowly toward the
