300 MACAlNISTS
And Helpers QUIT

Three hundred machinists helpers
and apprentices walked out at the
Western Maryland railway shops at
Hagerstown yesterday because the
agreement regulating promotions was
broken, they alleged, by officials. The
men declare they will not go back
until definite assurance is given that
no attempt will again be made to over
stop the contract.
The strike came when two helpers
were placed in machinists' positions
before they had completed the service
qualifying them as machinists.
The machinists, who are getting 81
/ cent san hour,2 it is reported were
refused 7 1-2-cent increase, and the
company gave young men full ma
chinists' positions.
It is reported the employees receiv-
ed word to walk out by the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists.
The walkout. while tying up the
machine department, will not serious
y affect the other shop departments
About 500 men are employed in the
shops Twenty locomotives were in
the shops undergoing repairs when
he walkout occurred.
Railroad officials expressed the be
lief that the walkout would be OIL
short duration and that the differ
ences would be amicably settled.
There were reports that efforts
would be made to have the machinist'
in the Western Maryland shops a
Elkins and Cumberland walk out, ant
to induce the blacksmiths and boiler
makers to join in sympathetic
strike.

"Tho determination of the interest

the life of Christ as applied to mod

He went down to Jerusalem at de
very beginning OF his public work,
and all the way along the road he
heard the complaints Of the peasants
about the exactions and expressions
of the priests. Wnen he finally reach
ed the city his temper was pretty well
aroused. He strobe into that temple
and stood like young giant among
that noisy crowd OF tradickers. He
saw the poor come timidly forward
anu drive their bitter bargains with
the priests; his blood boiled He
stopped down ana picked up some bits
of cord that lay at his feet, and while
he watched he half uneonscioUsly
braided them into whip.
Then suddenly he strobe forward
into that wrangling crowd of petty
thieves. and began hurting their oouu-
tiers to the floor. One after the other,
he flung their tables and chairs be.

the doves were kept; he turned their
oxen loose upon them. The thieves
dropped back amazed; the crowd.
quick to sense the situation, flung
themselves eagerly at his back. And
so, his eyes flashing fire, his little
whip rising and falling across the
backs of the skulking crew before
him, he drove them forward, through
the court, under the gates, out in the
city streets. Single-handed. unknown,
without reputation or authority, he
had attacked the stronghold of spe-

A WORLD SCARCITY OF FOOD
STUFFS.

Whether there be war or peace be
tween this country and Germany,
whether war be continued in Europe
for another year or two, or whether
peace should come, the demand for
fcodstuffs will exceed the supply
both in this country and abroad. The
shortage in the worlds food crops
last year, taken in connection with
conditions created by the war, brings
us nearer to a famine situation in
foodstuffs than the world has known
I in this generation. If the crops of
this country should, by unfavorable
weather conditions or by a lessened

PRESIDENT WILSON
ON THE BIBLE

On one occasion. some years ago.
Mr.. Wilson said:
I'm sorry for the men who do not
read the Bible every day, | wonder
why they deprive themselves of the
strength and of the pleasure. 1t Is
one of the most singular books IN the
world. for every time you open 1t,
some old lex that have read a score
oftimes suddenly beams with a new
meaning. Evidently the mood and
the thought of that day, bred by the
circumstances that you cannot analy-
re, has suddenly thrown its light up
on that page. and upon that passage,
and there springs out upon the page
to YOU something that you never saw
lie upon it before. There is no other
book that | know of which this is
true; there is no other book that
Yields its meaning so personally, h a
seems to fit itself so intimately to the
very spirit that is seeking its guild
ance. And so, when we teach our
children, we do not teach them,
hope. dogmatically. We must not
try to make them read the Scripture
as we read it, but merely try to bring
them into such contact with the
Scripture that it will yield its mean

Make it their companion, make II

When a man amt got a cent,

When a nan amt got a cent,
And he's feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy
And won't let the sunshine through
It's a great thing, o my brethren,
For a Teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort O. way.
1t makes IA mar feel curious;
1t makes the tear drops start,
And you sort O. feel a futter
In the region of the heart;
You can look up and meet his eyes
You don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort O. way.
Oh. the worlds a curious compound
With its honey and it's gall;
With its cares and bitter crosses
But a good world after all.
And a good God must have made it
Leastways, that is what | say
When a hand is on my shoulder
In a friendly sort o. way.

HOME GARDEN SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL.

Continue planting vegetables thru
out April. Make the second plant
ing of lettuce, English peas, and rad
ishes, snap beans, lima beans, sweet
corn, satisfy, carrots, parsnips, okra,
cucumbers, watermelons, summer
squashes and cantaloupes will do well
planted this month.
The tomato, eggplant, pepper and
celery plants are ready to set in the
garden. Set the tomatoes not closer
than A feet apart each way, the egg
plants and peppers 80 inches, and the
celery 6 inches.
In transpianting, set all plants
deep, and press the soil firmly into
place around the roots with the
hands.
Top dress the ground around early
plants with droppings from the chick
en- house.
Plant everything in rows. Broad
cast sowing invites insects and dis
eases, besides making cultivation diff
ficult.
Cultivate the soil as soon as it be-
comes dry enough after each rain,
using the horse as much as possible,
and then working out with a hoe.
Get all the weeds while they are
small. 1t is easy then.
To get rid of insects dust a mix
ture of powdered arsenate of lead
and a~ir-slacked lime, half and half
over the plants. Do this while the
dew is on, or just after a rain, as the
dust will stick better.
If your rOse garden is infested
with mildew, spray now with a prepa
ration or potassium sulfide, / OF.
soap ] o., water 8 gallons. Repea'
every ten days.-Leonard G. Heron

loss of sleep and fainting spells. For

"One week ago, upon recommended
