A SUBJECT NOT CALLED Fob.

Wherever the Baltimore City crowd
of cute politicians can get in a word for
the cause of expanding the city limits
thus giving them more power in the
Legislature by reason of increased rep
resentation, they do it, as witness the
following taken from the columns of
the Evening Times of Cumberland of
last Tuesday when Mayor Preston got
in his work at the Liberty Loan meet
ing held in that city Monday night:
Mayor Prestons injection of Baltimore
city's local political issue into the
Liberty Loan meeting last night was
about as uncalled for as it was useless.
The meeting was called for a specific
purpose which bad nothing whatever to
do with whether parts of Baltimore and
An, Arundel counties should become
part of Baltimore city or not.
The corporate limits of Baltimore
city certainly have nothing to do with
government bonds or the patriotism
| and economic wisdom involved in a
subsricptlon to the Liberty Loan. This
| question of extending the limits of
the city of Baltimore is one of serious
controversy among the citizens di-
rectly affected and it has been at
times a matter of bitter debate that
| gives evidence of very narrow anC
selfish notions with number OF PEG.
Pile This is a time for everyone as.
suming any degree of leadership tc
endeavor to get citizens of every sec.
ton OF the State together. 1t is nc
time for bringing up questions on
which people are divided. There is
room for an honest difference of opin.
ion on this subject OF extending the
lines of the City of Baltimore to in.
clude territory of the counties adioin
ing the city without the consent of the
residents of those counties. The people
of all sections of the State know about
this controversy and there is a division
of Judgment on the subject. The people
of the State will settle this controversy
in due time when the merits of the con
tentions on both sides may be thresheC
out. For the present the State is busy
on war measures and should be left t
settle these without the interiection Of
localquestions that are not now du,
and can blde their time without injury

Children's Day Services.

The Pleasant Valley U. B. and the
M. E. Sunday schools united in a joint
Children's Day service at Pleasant
Valley U. B. church last Sabbath after
noon at l: 80 O'Clock. The program was
elaborate and exceptionally well rem
dered. The rose song rendered by Miss
es Ula Gortner, Lille Friend, Mary
Friend, Garna Bittinger, Helen Meese
and Mabel Bittinger and the octet
composed of Madams, Brown, Stoyer,
M. E. Lee, Miss Friend. Messrs. Brown.
Lee, Harvey and Orendorf; duets Mrs.
Henry Harvey, Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Meese
and Mrs. M. E. Lee; solo Miss Eleanor
Meese were the special numbers. The
committee composed of Mrs. Thad
Meese, Mrs. Edna Glover, Mrs. M. E.
Lee. Mrs. Henry Harvey, Miss Emma
Lee and Miss Bernce Moomaw had the
program in charge and the success of
splendid rendering was due to their
careful preparation. The great audi
ence which the church could not hold,
appreciated the service.

THE RED CROSS APPEAL.

A great charity such as the Red Cross
should not be hampered by lack of funds
in the mighty task it must perform in
the awful Tragedy of to-day. The Red
Cross knows not race or creed or color.
1t does the work of the Manof Sorrows.
the Prince of Mercy.
You who have subscribed for bonds
did so as patriotic duty. Crown YOUR
act with the glory of giving, to the
afflicted, to the wounded, to the diving
to the poor, to the hungry Give with
out thought of foe or OF friend, but
with thought only of all who suffer.
The Red Cross needs 800. 900, 900 to
do the biggest work of mercy in all the
history ofssLthe world, of which sum
Garrett county is asked to give S12, 500.
1t is the glorious privilege of the
American people to do noble work in
nobler way than any nation ever die
before.

SENATOR sPEICHERFLo0R LEADER

Recognizing those qualities that go to
make one leader and adviser of men,
the Republican members of the Legis-
lature now in special session at Anna
polls, conferred great honor upon
State Senator Harvey J. Speicher of
Garrett county when they made him the
floor leader of their forces. Until the
election of Senator Zlhlman of Allie
gany county as a Representative in
Congress, he was the recognized leader
of the Republicans at Annapolis. With
the election of Senator Speicher to the
position made vacant by the resigna-
ton OF Congressman Zihlman, the
leadership of the Republicans is con-
served to Western Maryland. In honor
ing Senator Speicher Garrett county is
also honored.

The awful question What shall l

Canned berries are bird proof.

FLY The FLAG RIGHT.

In manltestlng our unity of spirit and
endeavor with our allies in the war
Americans should be punctilious in
placing Old Glory. This is our war.
We take no secondary place because we
did not enter the strife until the third
year of hostilities, While we fight be-
side and in cooperation with the
soldiers Of France, Britain, Russia,
Italy and the rest of the antagonists of
the autocratic system, we fight pri-
marty for ourselves. The United
States has very real grievances to ad-
just. We are leaders, not followers.
We honor the flags of our allies, but to
our own flag we must give first place.
That we fail to do when we place the
Stars and Stripes between the flags of
France and Britain. The national reg
ulatlon requires that when the national
emblem flies with other flags it shall
be placed at the right of the line. When
an American places the three flags on
his house, his place of business or his
automobile, Old Glory should be at the
right. Placing it in the middle makes
it third. Militarily the right is the
place of honor and leadership. That is
the place for the Stars and Stripes
when arranged with other flags by an
American. AS our people commonly
place the three America is put in the
position of being supported by its allies.
We do not admit that. Let everyone
rearrange his flags and give Old Glory
the position to which it is entitled.

before it now. AS an international
organization it has been performing a
wonderful service for the past two
years in reducing the suffering and the
sorrow and anguish attendant upon the
European war. The problem before the
American Red Cross is still only in the
making.
There has been disposition among a
class Of citizens to look upon the or
ganization as made up OF Missionaries,
and to regard its aims and objects as
chimencal.
That is far from the truth. 1t is in
tensely practical. The first and most
salient objective of the organization is
the fulfillment of its obligation to the
people at home. 1t has been pointed
cut that it is very difficult to estimate
the requirements in America. but it is
no eXaggeratlon to say that they will
not be oyer estimated, and it will be
easy to under estimate them.
In stating that the first obligation
will be at home, it will be easy for the
thoughtless to gain misconception OF
its mission. Home, however, will be
where the greatest efforts are required.
All Europe bears testimony to the fact
that not all or half of the suffering and
anguish brought by the war is upon the
field of battle. The fighting is really
the best of war. a fact to which a
stricken Europe bears striking testi-
mony.
The reaction of the struggle upon
social and economic conditions and the
social and economic order with which
the disordered world must contend will
produce for those who remain at home
their greatest problem.
Disease and pestilence haye gained a
foothold in European countries, notably
France, as the result of the COM
Wandering of the ordinary means of
combating. them, for service in the
war, which no one has been able to
fully describe. Not only has the spread
of tuberculosis been given an impulse
as the result of the conditions in the
trenches but the neglect of medical at
tentlon and the impairment of SAM
tation and other preventive work at
home has been a powerful factor in the
enormous destruction.
Aside from the work which will grow
here at home as the time goes on, and
aside from the assistance we will giev
to the Allies in this noble relief work
the care of our own at the front is a
problem of large dimensions.
The Red Cross begins by asking one
hundred millions in the United States.
1t is large sum, yet it must be forth
coming. Its failure, or the failure of
the people to meet this genuine demand
will have its sequel in a loss many
times one hundred millions. The share
of Oakland is considerable but it should
be mobolized easily. With effective
canvassing, the goal will be attained,
1t is not our business to undertake to
prophesy the outcome of the canvass or
to speculate upon the amount of cam
palgning that will be necessary. 1t Is
our purpose to emphasize the extraor-
binary Importance of the work which
has been undertaken-a work vital not
only to the prosecution of the war at
the front but to the conservation of our
manhood and womanhood at home.

Up to the present time have refraned to exercise the

taxes by sale of the property which levied and
hope that may be necessary to resort to this means
IN order to collect said taxes, want state however, that
the bills of the county must be paid and the funds
to do running low. hope, therefore, that all who
in in payment of for 1916 will promptly
come forward and pay without further delay

Wake Up, Americai

Today has been set aside in all
arts of the country as Patriots
Day, or Wake Up, America" day.
Being the anniversary OF the battle
Of Lexington, it is a particularly ap-
propriate time for a demonstration of
patriotism.
In New York City thousands of
men, women and children will march
in patriotic assembly, as aviators
bearing messages urging recruiting
fly over the city dropping their print
ed appeals among the people. In the
New England section plans have been
made to duplicate the famous ride of
Paul Revere back in I77s, the only
difference being that in 1917 the ride
will be made in an aeroplane.
Because of the tenseness of the
situation in the National Capital, the
authorities have deemed it wise not
to issue permits for patriotic demon
strations, hence the celebration in
Washington will take on more of a
dignihed aspect. There will be no
parade, but this does not hinder any
patriotic citizen from doing his bit
toward awakening the country.
II you contemplate enlisting, do it
today. If you have friends who are
willing to enlist, prevail upon them
to act today. If you cannot in your
judgment actively further the cause
OF armed preparedness, then bend
your energies toward bettering in
dustrial conditions. If you feel that
you want to help, yet cannot find
your place, send contribution to the
District chapter of the American Red
Cross. The greatest possible service
can be rendered to your country in
this way. There is something that
every one can do for the country.
DO 1T TODAY.
