send Welsh out against White for an
other marathon engagement.
Welsh is a whirlwiid in a ten round
engagement. He can move so fast and
block so cleverly there isn't a chance
of any lightweight getting close
enough to slip over a finishing punch.
He can move at top speed for this dis
lance. Hence. there's no danger to his
crown. In a longer bout he might tire
a little. Certainly he could not run
away over that distance and get the
referees decision if the referee knew
what he was doing It would be worth
while to see some one make Welsh
fight.

He Stops Oyer Here For
Few Hours.

Former Congressman Thomas Par

a number of his friends. He had been
spending several days in Baltimore
and made the trip here in his automo-
bile. He left this afternoon to return
to his home in Calvert County.
Referring to the coming session of
the Legislature. Mr.. Parran said he
expected it would be the most inter-
esting one in the last 20 years, owing
to the fact that the Republicans will
have control of the House and the
Democrats of the Senate But he
added, there is no reason why there
should not be harmony and general
good feeling in the consideration of
the many important measures that
will come up for consideration by the
Solons

For the benefit of the drafted men

The United States Naval Reserve
Force offers a very attractive service
for the men in tidewater Maryland.
especially those who have been
brought UP on the water. and are IA
miliar with handling small boats.
This branch of the service was Gre
ated by an Act of Congress passed in
August, 1916, primarily to afford our
seacoast and inland waters protec.
ton, but because of the great need for
men the President is now asking for
patriotic men who are willing to do
their duty anywhere.
The seacoast OF the United States is
divided into Naval District. The Fifth
Naval District embraces the entire
Chesapeake Bay and the seacoast
from Assateague Inlet, Va, to New
River Inlet, n. c. In Maryland the
boats patrolling our waters are
known as Squadron s, which includes
all the boats formerly in the Mary

said by one of the men of the 23rd

conduct of affairs. and the remedy is
up to- Uncle Sam No man wearing

OLYMPIA, Feb. 8.-Give
the honest. industrious far
mer, the laboring man, the
man who hasn't much prop
erty to his name or large
credit i'm the banks, the
chance to borrow money On
the strength of his good
character!
Give him the chance, even If
his name isn't listed in Brad
streets to acquire cash capital
with which to develop his farm or
his small business!
Senator Ralph Metcalf Of Pierce
county wants to offer this chance
in a bill he has introduced for a
cooperative rural credit system
with the official sanction of the
state and under the supervision
of a state officer.
Credit for Character.
Here's what the bill will do If
passed:
1t will make possible short
term personal loans on CHARAC-
TER SECURITY.
A farmer who hasn't any bank
able security will be able to get
a loan, if his character is such
that his neighbors think he is en-
titled to it.
