PARADE TO BE
TRAITOR KNELL
DR.. Martin Says Big Event
Will End Disloyalty
in Congress.

America Is the leading nation OF
the world" said Rev. DR.. D. H. Mar
TIN. pastor OF Wesley Chapel, In a
sermon delivered last evening. "our
flag is the greatest emblem Of human
freedom mankind has ever known
All our wars have been fought for
the cause of democracy" he said.
In speaking OF the significance OF
the parade to be held here Tuesday
In honor of the selective men, he
SAID that 1t will be democracy's great
message to the world that we are in
this war to wipe Kaiserism and Prus-
sianism from the face of the earth. "
He said that President Wilson is the
most conspicuous figure in the world
today
The text of his sermon. was, "Our
City's Gift Of Manhood to Democracy"
Significance of Parade,
The parade on Tuesday afternoon, /"
he said, will have national and world
wide significance. 1t will honor, in q
fitting manner. the young men Of the
District of Columbia and the nation
who have been called to the colors.
TRts will be the greatest parade
washington has ever Witnessed
That parade" he continued, will
be message of warning in flesh and
steel to the spies and the agents OF
the Kaiser in America, that IL they
are apprehended the government will
hang them to the nearest tree. 1t
will also be a word of advice to the
dc Of h,a l. ~afa -.
lawmakers, who wear iron crosses and
whose pockets jingle with the thirty
pices of silyer'-the Judas Iscariots
and the Benedict Arnolds who have
turned traitors to their country in
order to do the will of the Kaiser. II
will be a warning to these men that
they have gone as far in their
treacheTy and disloyalty to the gov
ernment as is safe.
Many OF our boys who go to the
front will bleed and die. And when
the.mothers of the land weep over the
mangled and lifeless bodies OF their
sons the lives Of the men who have
turned traitors to their own country
will not be safe. The sight of the
patriots blood shed will enrage the
people of this great country and they
viii not longer tolerate the men who
have been disloyal to the nation s
sacred trust.
Warning to Traitors.
This parade is a message OF warn
ing that traitorism and disloyalty has
gone already as far as the American
people will tolerate it.
Tuesdays parade is a message of
patriotism to all the world that every
man can understand. 1t means that
all talk of peace at the present time,
under existing conditions. IS idle and
useless. It means that America will
have no peace until the last vestige
OF Prussianism is destroyed. Not un-
til the Kaiser steps down and out and
the ambitions of this ruthless muir
derer Of men is forever at an end"

Loew's CeIumbia-EIsie Ferguson.

Elsie Ferguson was seen for the
first time in the films at Loew's
Columbia yesterday in 'Barbary
Sheep" and will continue as the
feature until Thursday. 1t isn't Of
ten that the screen gets such ex-
cellent material out of which to
construct such an elaborate photo
play.
"Barbary Sheep" adapted from
Robert Hichens' novel of the same
name, contains all that goes into
making of the type of feature which
has an unusual appeal. The pre-
tentious production fully lives up to
the press agents stories of it's Law
ishness. AS for acting. Elsie Fergu-
son gives a striking and forceful
portrayal on her initial screen ap-
pearance and scored an emphatic
hit. Miss Ferguson is one actress
who has enough beauty and brains
to stand close scrutiny.
The production may be said to be
one of the best pictures that has
been seen in many months.
A Sidney Drew comedy, the Hearst
Pathe News and a Bray Photograph
are also on the program. Thurs
day and for the last half of the week
Wallace Reid will be seen in his
newest photoplay. The Hostage"
with an o. Henry masterpiece, THE
Gift of the Magi." as an extra added
attraction.

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
as the Frost Starts to Come
Out of the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
to our farm land than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging of our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended.
Just as soon as the frost begins to
come out of the ground, the farmer
shculd commence dragging.
his is not laborious job, good
saaa can put the road between him
ag5 the first crossing toward town,
even if half mile away, in good con-
diian in a half day, and he will save
many times the cost Of such labor or
a.zpense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds to the farm,
there is that personal pride that we all
owe to every community, and especial
ly to ourselves.

GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
Steel Device Invented to Correct Ger
tain Degree Fault of Draqs on
Dry Highways.

Split logs and drags and CONNER
cially manufactured drags involving
the basic principle of Mr.. D. Ward
Kings simple split-log drag, have
done much for the dirt roads of the
nation, and these make up the bulk
of the mileage Of the country roads OF
this nation The originator of this
type of drag advocated their use while
the road was still muddy, to puddle"
the dirt of the roads surface and so
make it more waterproof as well as to
smooth the surface of the road. This
is the best time to use them, for then
they accomplish these two tasks so
important to the making of a good
dirt road. But for some reason or 9TH
er the bulk of users of road drags per-
s.st in using them only after the sur
fece Of the road has become dry and
rough after rain, simply to smooth
it up.
When used in this way. all the drags
of this type have one basic fault; they
leave ridge of loose dirt in the CEN
ter of the road. If the weather con-
tinues dry and hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes into dust, to be blown
about with the shifting winds. Ii it
rains, this loose dirt quickly absorbs
a large amount Of water and turns
into mud-mIch quicker than 1t would
have been if it had been packed firm
and hard, instead of being loose and
porous. Herewith is shown drawing
of steel drag Of this same kind
which is designed to correct to a GER
tain degree at least this fault Of drags
when used Eal dry ground. 1t is de-
signed to pack more or less firmly
this little ridge of loose dirt which is

AUT0!ST LEARNED TO GR0EN
Sight of Road Grader in OFfina Fills
His Heart With Dismay-Drae
Is Cause of Smiles.

= Speaking Of grading operations, the
.autoist has learned to groan when he
sees a road grader, manned by half
dozen willing men, show up in the
ofhng. He knows that the presence OF
the grader forecasts bad roads for
weeks to come-sod, loose dirt, ruts
and bumps, and when the rain comes
with little prospect of quick drying OF
the sodden mass. But he smiles when
he sees road drag, for he knows that
means immediate Improvement OF the
road and permanent benefit.

through Philippeville and
some little by-roads to Rance. where
VIC we're expected at the house Of
G.. D.. He and his wife and
.heir little girl Of five had just re-
turned that morning to receive us,
but the place was brightly lighted
and as completely prepared as
though they had been there all the
time. 1t was lovely old place,
and we were soon made comfort
able. German officers have occu-
pied it most of the time, and IT re-
ouircd a good deal Of cleaning and
repairing after they left; but fortu-
natclv this work had just been COM
pleted. and We had chance to en-
10Y the place before any more en-
forced guests appeared. One Of
the imperial princelings had been
there for one night, and his name
was chalked on the door Of his
room. He had been tres oniabls,
and when he left had taken D---'s

This Officer Was
An Art Fancier

VIC took a tramp around the town
in biting wind, and looked at
some Of the houses of our neigh
bors. One man showed US a card
which he had found in the frame
of one of his best pictures. 1t was
the card Of German officer, and
under the name was written an
order to send the picture to GER
tain address in Berlin. The picture
was gone. but the frame and card
we're still there and are being kept
against the day Of reckoning--if
any.
We had a good and ingeniously
arranged dinner. All sorts Of ordi-
nary foods are not to be had in this
part of the country, and our hostess
had. by able thinking, arranged a
meal which skilfully concealed the
things that were lacking. Among
other things observed that we had
"a series Of most delicious wines
for our host Of that evening also
had a wonderful cellar. They had
told us Just before dinner that the
Germans had taken an inventory of
their wines and had forbidden them
10 touch another drop, so | won
dered whether they were not in
curing some risk in order to give
us the wine that they considered in
dispensable. When / asked our
hostess. she told me that it was
very simple, that all they needed to
do was to drink a part Of several
bottles, refill them partially with
water, seal them, and put them
back in the cellars; she said scorn-
fully that "ies Boches don't know
one wine from another" and had
not vet been able TO detect the
fraud.
We we're called at daybreak and
were on the road at s o'clock, tax
ing in a series Of small villages
which had been destroyed, and talk
ing with the few people to be found
about the place.
