EDDY MEMORIAL
THING OF BEAUTY
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS CONTRI-
Butte $150,00O TO ERECT MON
UMENT. TO FOUNDER

The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy
the discoverer and founder of Chris
tian Science, erected in Mount Auburn
cemetery, at Cambridge, Mass, has
been turned over to The Christian
Science Board of Directors by Elbert
S. Barlow of New York, who had
charge of it's construction. Over a
year. and half has been required to
complete it. Christian Scientists
throughout the world have con-
tributed, as expressions of sentiment,
the entire cost of over $1500OO.
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite and consists of an open circu-
lar colonnade of eight columns Is feet
in height surmounted by connice and
cresting. The space inside the colon
made is to be filled with growing flow
ers. The columns rest on a stylo-
bate of three steps, which also rest, at
one side ON broad platform of Pomp-
ton pink granite and, at the other,
double flight of circular steps. These
are flanked on each side by a large
pylon. The pylon were exhibited a
short time ago at the American Insti
.ute of Architecture in New York, and
we're pronounced by several experts to
be the finest pieces of carved granite |
,ver executed. The detail is elaborated
g an extent never before attempted |
n granite; some of the stems and 7,
caves are practically free-standing, so
great is the relief.

INSTITUTIONAL personal encoun'

chusetts and Alexander Bannwart oil
Dorchester, Mass, in which the sena-
tor knocked his opponent down, oc-
Cured in the corridors of the capitol
Bannwart, the Rev. Paul Harris
Drake of Christ church, Dorchester,
and several other men and women of
pacifist delegations called Senator
Lodge to the door of his committee
room and asked him to vote against
a declaration of war with Germany.
Senator Lodge replied that if Presf-
dent Wilson asked for such a declara-
ton he certainly would support it.
"That is cowardice," retorted one of
the group.
National degeneracy is worse than
cowardice," replied the Massachusetts
senator.
''You are a coward" said Bannwart.
Lodge.
Bannwart advanced and struck the
senator, who then, despite his 67 years,
launched a blow that sent Bannwart
spraw1ing on the hard tiles of the cor
ridor.
Bannwart and several of his friends
were taken in charge by the capitol
police.
Bannwart told the capitol police he
was not the aggressor and contended
shat Senator Lodge struck the first
blow. In other respects his story did
not differ greatly from that told by
employees in the senator's office.
After Senator Lodge finished with
the pacifist, David B. Serman of this
city stepped in and, according to spec
tators, pummeled Bannwart, cutting
several gashes in his forehead and
spreading blood over his face. Bann-
wart was taken to a police station
with directions that a charge of as
sault on Senator Lodge be preferred
against him. The others in the group
with him were allowed to go.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES
MUST co TO FRONT
FEW EXEMPTIONS WILL BE ASKED BY
G0VERNMENT.-HOPE TO ESCAPE
DRAFT GONE.

A ruling issued by The Postofhce
Department shows tina: department
officials will make few requests for
the exemption of postal employees
from military service. Postmasters
are iLs tructed not to ask for exemp-
ii ~ iOr carriers or laho-nrs Ut Tor
cleik, in second-class offi'es below
the s. 900 grade, clerks in Grst class
offices below the $1,100 grade or any
above these grades unless they are
qualified distributors of mail.
The ruling is the first formal action
by an executive department in COM
pliance with President Wilson's order
directing that department officials in
dicate exemptions and that the re-
quirement Of indispensability be rig
idly enforced.
AS generally construed, the postal
ruling shows the purpose of the ad-
ministration to make the government
departments leaders in freeing valu-
able employees for war service.
The entire mail carriers force, num-
bering thousands of men, of whom
a considerable percentage are within
the draft age limits, is excluded from
exemption except for physical reasons
or because of dependent families Ev-
cry portion of the country is reached
by the ruling as even the rural car
riers are included.

INSURANCE CASES UP AGAIN.
Defendants Get Verdict at Rockville
old Dispute Aired.

The business of the Grangers Mu-
tual Storm and Fire Insurance Com
pany of Carroll county, which was
flooded with hundreds of claims five
years ago when Carroll, Frederick
and hailstorms and hurricanes, aired
more cases in Rockville Thursday be-
fore Montgomery counties were rid
died by Justice A. H. Henderson. Some
Is farmers were being sued for as
sessment claims, made by the receiV-
ers of the company, F. Neal Parke and
Charles o. Clemson, this city Leo
Weinberg, Frederick, and Robert B.
Peter represented the defendants.
1t appears that the insurance COM
pany never paid its claims. Instead
it made several assessments, one in
1912, '13 and IS. Subsequently the
company failed and the receivers were
appointed. Then the series of suits
were brought in an effort to collect
these assessments.
1t was held by Judge Hammond Ur-
ner and Judge Peter in Rockville last
September before which circuit court
several cases were aired, the statute
of limitations applied in reference to
the assessments in 1912, but as for
the other, if the insured shared loss
in 1912, before there was any assess
ment, the insured could set off the
loss against the assessment.
The justice Thursday, with the eX-
ception of several cases where the
statute of limitations applied, decided
for the defendants.
Charles O. Clemson appeared for the
plaintiffs

Heavy Electrical Storm Hits This
City.

On Tuesday afternoon about SIS
o'clock the heaviest electrical rain
and wind storm of the season passed
over this city doing damage to growing
corn and vegetables.
The storm started with q few clouds
gathering in the southwest which
brought fine shower, but the wind
shifted to the west and the clouds
seemed to meet a storm coming from
the east which caused sharp light
ming, extremely heavy peals of thunder
and a down pour of rain and hail, ac-
companied with a high wind, that
leveled the growing corn and vege-
tables in the gardens, and also dam
aging trees.
A tree on West Main street blew
down and rested on an electric wire
which caused the residents of Col
lege avenue to be without light until
the tree was removed. The c. & P.
Telephone Company had their troub-
les also. Many telephones were burn
ed out.
A bolt of lightning shot down the
steeple of St. PauPs Reformed church,
Bond street, but did no damage.

Birds Help Farmers Defeat Germany.

Food is needed for our armies. Birds
help the farmers produce that food by
destroying insect pests. Therefore
birds may be considered as one of the
Allies. In the August Farm and Fire
side we read:
Birds are almost as busy as bees,
and their work in increasing crop
yields is highly important. One of the
cheapest and me st effective ways to
fight insect pests that annually take
crop toll estimated at $800,000,000 is
to aid in the preservation of bird life
Few people realize how many insects
are destroyed by birds. A teaspoonful
of chinch bugs has been taken from
the crop of one quail, and an adult
bird has been known to eat 5000 plant
lice in two hours Such worms and
bugs as infest our gardens are favor
ite food for bldebirds, robins and
many other kinds of BIRDS
1T is true that some insect pests
may be fought with chemicals. Owing
to the Great War, though, prices for
many materials commonly used in
sprays, washes, and poison mashes
are pretty near prohibitive. But the
birds work at before-the-war wages.
Birds also eat thousands of weed
seeds. A single quail, when killed,
was found to contain 10000 pigweed
seeds. With labor scarce and high,
whatever will aid the farmer in his
crop against weeds is worth while"

Boys for the Farm.

Do you realize that the American
Boy is the greatest power in the world
today-that the world, in fact, is prac-
tically at your mercy? This is not an
empty statement, but an acknoWl-
edged fact, and the final outcome Of
the world war in which we are now
engaged is up to you"
You, as an American Boy, have a
greater opportunity for service than
even the soldier who goes abroad to
do the actual fighting. An army moves
on its stomach. To train and equip
an army, provide ammunition and
build ships for their transportation
would be worse than useless unless
we are able to feed the fighting men.
Europe is starving. She cannot feed
herself-much less our troops. Not
only must we feed ourselves and our
troops-we must feed Europe. If we
are to do this the growing crops now
in the field must be harvested and
conserved. Because of the existing la
Dor shortage, which is the most ser
ious in our country's history, these
crops cannot be harvested and con-
served unless you, Boys of Maryland,
are willing to 60 out into the fields
and canneries and DO Your Bit"
The Boys Working Reserve, U. S.
A, was recently organized by the Uni
ted States Department of Labor for
the purpose of enrolling the boys of
America between the ages of 16 and
20, inclusive, as a labor reserve for
this work. 1t offers you an opportunity
to serve your country and to serve hu-
manity such as has never been offered
to the boys of any country in the his
tory of the world.
The wage rate paid the boy by the
employer must necessarily vary, since
different kinds of work, different To-
calities and degree of experience
command different rate of conpensa-
ton, but the work of placing the boys
will be in charge of capable State and
National officials, who will see that
the boys are accorded fair and proper
treatment.
The Boys will also be sent out in
small units in charge of competent
leaders, and every possible precau-
ton will be taken to safeguard the
physical, mental, moral and general
welfare of the boys.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, The Boy Scouts OF America,
the Public Athletic League and the
Farm Labor Bureau, in keeping with
their spirit of service, have kindly
offered to assist in this work, and en-
rollment bureaus of the Boys Work
ing Reserve, U. S. A, have according
ly been established at the Central
Branch Y. M. c. A, Cathedral and
Franklin streets; Boy Scout Head
quarters, Mccoy Hall, 81 West Mon
ument street, and at the Farm Labor
Bureau. Stewart Building, Gay and
Lombard streets, Baltimore, Md. Ad
ditional enrolling offices in Baltimore
and at other points throughout the
State will be established as rapidly
as possible
Work will be assigned you as soon
as possible after you have been en-
rolled. Thousands of boys are now en-
gagged in this work in other States
and are rendering valuable and effici-
ent service.

Birthday Party.

On Wednesday afternoon, August
1st, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
P. Beasman, near Statewood, was a
beautiful little party given to their
son, J. Patterson, it being his fifth
birthday. Twenty-six bright little
faces filed the lawn and all had a
merry time playing games and riding
the big bay horse named Cressus.
Another feature was the music from
two graphophones which grown peo-
pie enjoyed as we'll as the children.
There was long table trimmed in
pink and green for the children and
a big birthday cake and five pink
candles graced the center and every
thing else to tempt ones appetite.
Each guest remembered little Pat
terson with a present. All departed
for their homes wishing J. Patterson
many more happy birthdays.

WINTER MILK PRICE.
Carroll County Dairymen Will Meet
In This City.

The Committees on milk prices for
fall were called to Baltimore ON July
27. There it was decided that each
county should hold big meeting so
that the men that you appointed on
this committee could tell you what
was decided upon at the Baltimore
meeting.
On August IL, at 2 o'clock in the
High School building in this city, the
diarymen large and small, of Carroll
county will meet and at this meeting
the price of milk for the winter will
be decided upon. Every dairyman,
whether he is milking one COW or 80,
shipping milk to Baltimore, making
butter, or selling it to a creamery,
knows that when pasture goes this
fall the COW must go also if he does
not get a profit for his product. With
dairy feed about double in price and
with So corn in October there is not
one dairyman in Carroll county who
can produce four per cent. milk for
less than 40 cents a gallon wholesale
this fall and winter.
Now, brother dairyman, we will
have the great pleasure of hearing
what President Harry, of the Mary
land Milk Producers Association has
for us, also I. w. Hepps and w. III.
Wheeler. Do not fail to be present on
this great afternoon, for your own
interest and to show our brother
dairymen of Hartford county that we
are wide awake.
Meeting promptly at o'clock.

ONE IN Thirty DIES IN BATTLE.
Only One In 500 Loses A Limb, Says
Wellesley Staaistfcian.

Roger Babson the eminent statis-
tician of Wellesley, has gathered the
following figures from a close study
of war casualties:
Under present conditions, where
man power is being saved, no more
than l in 80 is killed.
Only l in 500 lose a limb-a chance
no greater than in hazardous condi-
tions at home.
Mr.. Babson's conclusions are based
on the mortality figures of the French
Army for the full three years of war.
He says, Most of the wounds sus-
tanned in the trenches are clean-cut
and of nature that a few weeks in
the hospital makes the subject as fit
as ever. But 100000 French soldiers
have been discharged on account of
wounds during the three years Of the
war.
Most of the wounds received in the
trenches are on top Of the head, SIM
ply scalp wounds. Practically speak
ing, a wound is either fatal or slight
with but few in between these two ex-
tremes. From New York World.
