WINTRY WINDS AND COOL NIGHTS
Send Sherwood Forest Summer Col
onists Home To Seek Shelter
By Warm Fireside.

Iglehart, Oct. !, 1917.
The very cool nights and short days
have sent the summer colonists back
to their winter homes with regrets.
Those who have left within the last
few days are Mr. and Mrs. Portor
Houston and family, Miss Taylor and
nieces, Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes, Mr.. and
Mrs. Desch. Mr.. and Mrs. Dorsey, DIR.
McMsins, Miss Black. DR.. Fiske, G.
Tyler Smith and family, Theo. Mather
md wife, s. Gillian and family, Capt.
, and Mrs Lawton, Miss Knipp and sis
Ter, NJ. r. Creighton, Mr.. Chandlee,
Mr.. and Mrs. Num-, Mr. and Mrs W..

There were fifty young ladies who
spent the week end at Clospton, Sher-
wood Forest, and all had delightful
ime. Each and every one will be
missed for it is hard to tell if some

Mr.. and Mrs. W. T. Startzmsn and

pleased to see her out again.

season and ii has proved quite sue.
cessful one, although labor has been
quite scarce.
Is it really so that those in Annapo-
lis and county who join the Home
Guards can be called away to any part
of the state for duty? How will that
protect our homes? If that is the
case it will keep great many from
joining, who, otherwise. would join
to protect their home and neighbors.

LIST SPOILED 81 ADuLATI0A
Great Piano virtuoso Never Employed
to Best Advantage the Great Gift
That He Possessed.

1t is only whea we remember Liszfs
profession that we can read the riddle
he presents. From childhood up, he
was the idolized piano virtuoso. He
was petted and adored all his life. lie
was smothered all his life under TIE
adularion showered upon him in every
capital of Europe, showered upon him
in every tangible form by women of
the highest society. His was not a
character profound or fine enough to
right itself. He never managed to de-
velop out Of that stage, to contact
with truly nourishing things. On the
contrary, he became completely up
modern Capua, came TO love 1t and to-
crave the rose leaves and the clouds
Of perfume. His music is largely an.
inspiration toward it, an attempt to-
perpetuate about him the admiration,
and adulation, the glowing eyes and
half parted lips, the heaying bosomsa
1t is a mechanism for procuring for
himself the Pascha power he desired.
Indeed, beside List, Chopin seems a
veritable anchorite. True, List i'm
terested himself in music for another
reason. If it served to procure him
the particular ''place in the sun" that
he craved, it furnished him also with
a most engaging pastime. He inter-
ested himself in music as one might
interest oneself in a sport as one be-
comes more proficient in it. He stud
led its rules, its teachings, its tricks.
With what keenness he mastered them
his compositions show. But that inter-
est was only minor. The other was
the major.-Paul Rosenfield, in Seven

would not give them these valuable

To-day, when the nation needs all its

more. The time has come when such

be enacted as war measure, based
upon principles fair to all sides. These
principles 1 believe to be briefly as
follows:
"d} The thing to do with water
power is to develop it. Whatever re-
tards or restricts the development of
the public is against public policy and
hostile to the general welfare"
"(2.) Water power belongs to the
people. The sites whefe it is produced
should always be held in public hands.
for only SO can effective control in the
general interest be secured.
"(3-) Where public development is not
desired, the right to use the water power
sites should be leased for periods long
enough to permit sound. attractive and
profitable investment, but never longer
than fifty years. At the end of each
lease all rights should return to the
people who gave them.
