Woman's Club OF Elkton

The first meeting of the season of
the Woman's Club of Elkton was held
Tuesday afternoon. November 7.
The program included addresses by
the President, Mrs. !. d. Davis and
Mrs. William Pedrick. Jr., of Balti-
more. General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs Director for Maryland.
Mrs. Pedrick gave most interesting
and informing resume of "The Thir-
teenth Biennial" which was held in
New York City last June.
Resolutions of respect for Miss
Mary Bartlett McIntire, a former
member of the Club, were read and
adopted, as follows:
Whereas, In the passing from this
life of Miss Mary B. McIntire, the
Woman's Club of Elkton has suffered
a loss which not only our Society, but
the whole community keenly feels and
deeply mourns; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Woman's Club of Elkton. desire to
record our sense of loss in the depar-
ture of one whose life has ever eX-
hibited such consistent and unselfsh
devotion to all that is best in human
life.
While not always physically able to
attend the meetings of the Club, she
always manifested cordial interest in
its welfare and her willingness to take
part whenever aclled upon.
None could present a more nearly
perfect example of that highest
achievement of our race. true Chris
tian womanhood. Endowed by in

FRANCE IN THE SENATE.

AS the Wing confidently predicted
last week, DR.. Joseph Irwin France is
elected to the U. S. Senate from Mary
land by a very handsome majority.
DR.. France has made long and tire
less campaign, as result Of which
the more the people have come to
know him the stronger he has proven
as candidate. No one, familiar with
DR.. Frances personal character and
his political ideals, will doubt for a
moment that Maryland will have in
him Senator worthy of her best ira
ditions.

REGRET DUER'S DEFEAT.

The defeat of Mr.. Duer in this Con-
gressional District is to be deeply re-
GREETED. Mr.. Duer is the type of man
whom we need in public life and the
magnificent vote he received in his
own county and neighboring counties
goes to prove how highly he is re-
garded by the people who know him
best. On the other hand his opponent,
Mr.. Price. ran better the farther he
got away from home, and succeeded
in pulling through by very close
shave.

merchant along advertising lines and
the space he declines to buy in local
newspapers is bought by them. This
has resulted in bringing to their
stores hundreds Of customers from the
smaller places and it has also been
factor in creating in these stores
large departments where are received
by mail, orders from persons who do
not come to the stores but who find in
the concerns advertisements mention
of various articles they want.

THE sun SQUIRMS.

The Baltimore Sun seems greatly
"peeved" at its failure to put over
David J. Lewis for the U. S. Senate.
Having lost its temper at the result,
it loses its sense of propriety (if it
ever had any and proceeds to throw
out reckless charges and nasty innuen-
dos with all the low abandon of a
street urchin. But that is a way the
Sun has, you know. Having conducted
a campaign of the most venomous mis-
representation, supplemented by an
eleventh hour attempt at brow beat
ing, it naturally finds it hard to swal-
low the dose which was administered
to it in Mr.. Lewis defeat. But that
does not justify it in continuing to
make faces"-before the public's
gaze at any rate.

to the grower and packer will be thor
oughly discussed. On Thursday. the
Maryland State Gamers Association
will hold their meeting.
One of the features of the Horticul-
tural Society meeting on Wednesday
the 18th will be the presentation of
live questions for discussion by the
growers. Each of these discussions
will be led by a specialist.
Transportation Rates Reduced
The railroads of Maryland will have
reduced rates to Baltimore during
Maryland Week" The railroads be-
lieve in the Show and are cooperating
with the Maryland Agricultural So
ciety to attract larger number from
the rural districts than heretofore.

NON-ADvERTISING MERCHANTS

The country merchant deplores the
fact that the mail order houses are
making inroads on his patronage. How
did they do it? Did they send repre-
sentatives into the rural communities
to solicit trade? Did they simply
open their places of business and wait
for customers? They did not. They
obtained all-not part but ALL1-of
their patronage by the use of printers
ink. They advertised. The average
local merchant does not seem to real
lie, even with this gigantic object les
son before him. that the means en-
ployed b ythese concerns are also at
his disposal. Through the medium of
the printed word they tell the public
what they have to sell.
Experience has shown that quality
for quality the local merchants prices
are no higher than those of the mail
order house and they save the pur-
chaser transportation charges. The
difference is that the mail order house
tells the public what it has to sell and
the non advertising merchant does
not.
The latter frequently advances the
argument against advertising that
everyone knows where his store j.
and what he has to sell. He is wrong.
Everyone does not know what he has
to sell. If he doubts this let him com
pare his present stock with that of
live years, three years or even one
year ago and note the many new
things he has on his floors or shelves,
new things that are the product of in
ventive genius or of changing fash
ions. He keeps abreast of the market
changes but all his customers do not,
hence they do not know what he has
to sell
And there are object lessons nearer
home: i. e.. the large and prosperous
city department stores. They realize
the power of advertising and make
liberal use of it.
These city concerns are taking ad-
vantage of the inactivity of the local

The actual present depleted condi-
ton of the Treasury and the imminent
wiping out altogether of the general
fund balance is not readily apparent
TO the public from the daily treasury
statement as published in the news
papers. For instance on Saturday last
this balance was given as Sl53, no.
500. But included in it. as shown by
the official Treasury Statement of
October q, is $50, 1862 to the credit
of disbursing officers, which according
to experts should be deducted; S45,-
l7l,6S2 for the redemption Of Nat
ional bank notes, which is a general
fund liability, and should be deducted
and ST ,240,985 in subsidiary silver
coin, silver bullion, minor coin and
unsorted currency carried in the gen
eral balance which is not available to
meet the obligations of the Treasury.
Consequently, after deducting these
items there was left in the Treasury
last Saturday only S5,7S7,57O, and at
the present daily loss this will vanish
in few days.

LOCAL GROCER BEATS
MAIL ORDER A0lleE

WhIlr making the rounds OF
the local stores one morning this
week, the Gazette reporter noticed
what appeared to be an unusually
large order on the counters q.
one of our up-to-date grocery
departments.
Upon inquiry the fact was
brought to light that this partic-
ular order was originally intend
ed by the purchaser for Sears
Roebuck & Co. He gave the groc
er an opportunity to see the list
and found there was but 81 cents
difference between the local and
the Chicago prices on an order
amounting to almost $50.
| He concluded that it was worth
~ cents to see what he was get
ting, immediate delivery and the
use of a reliable and we'll known
brand Of goods. and so the local
grocer got the order.
