Auto Rams House.

Wednesday afternoon of last week Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel Flory, of this place, had
some scare when heavy seven-passenger
automobile suddenly rammed into their
home on w. Main street. The car was
one in which came portion of the base
ball club from the High School at Fred
erick, and was being turned around. The
party driving the car at the time evident
" was not accustomed to handling it..
Persons here who saw the affair state
that the car had been turned crosswise
in the street, the front wheels being in
the sidedrain and directly in front of the
Flory residence. The driver evidently
failed to reverse his gear, for when given
the gas the car made plunge forward,
struck a porch post and stopped only
after striking the house terrific blow.
The impact was so great that studding
to which the window frame is fastened
was broken and the plastering in the
sitting room of the house broken. The
porch post tore hole in the porch cell
ing. The bumper on the car was also
badly bent.

British Foreign Minister Here.

Minister Balfour and the other men,
hers of the commission sent to America
by the government of Great Britain, ar
rived in Washington Sunday at 3 o'clock.
They were escorted to the McVeagh res
idence by two troops of the Second Cav
airy from Fort Meyer.
Everywhere bunting flew in the light
breeze, mainly the American national
colors. The British Union Jack and the
French tri-color were in evidence in many
places. There were no other decorations,
and even at the Union Station the only
touch of color was lent by the three large
flags, the American, British and French
which were hoisted on the three great
masts adjoining the plaza. Nor was there
any music to greet the visitors, the orig
inal plan, including the presence of the
Marine Band, having been amended to
conform to the view expressed by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing that
this was a grave and serious event in
American history and not to be lightly
treated or regarded as social and fest
i've affair.

Will America Lack Food?

1t is estimated that the cultivated area
in the United States will be increased
this year by 1000, 900 acres; but this will
be useless unless the Government-which
alone can deal with the problem see to
it that sufficient man power is available
for the work. 'The only way to avoid a
dangerous food shortage" said New
York's Commissioner of Weights and
Measures few days ago, sis the mobil-
ization of an agricultural army" That
is as vital need as an army of soldiers.
The farmer who left his pillow to seize
his old musket and spring to the defense
of his country is an inspiring figure in
our early history; but today he is needed
in the furrow, not in the munition fact
DRY or the trenches. The Government
would make fatal error if it permitted
agriculture to lack for men while equip
ping and training big armies. For this
war, we repeat, is war of economic
resources; all the weapons of destruction
will be vain and all the courage and de-
votion of our fighting men will be useless
unless we make sure that this nation and
those beside whom it fights have food
to sustain them through the appalling
struggle. Philadelphia North American.

Flag Raising.

A large crowd attended the flag raising
ceremonies at the Town Hall Tuesday
evening when large American flag was
unfurled from the flagstaff on the build
ing. Speeches and music, both vocal and
instrumental, were features of the exer-
cises. The flag was presented to the
town by the picture proprietors and is
a creditable adornment to the building.
An electric light is so placed in the tower
as to illuminate the flag at night which
presents handsome appearance and can
be seen quite some distance away.

Good READING.

For some weeks 1.-The Clarion has
been publishing letter coming from
Miss Marion Firor, daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. M. l.. Firor. of Sabillasville, who
went from her home here to China as a
missionary. That these letters are re-
garded as valuable reading is evidenced
by the fact that number of our ex-
changes reprint every letter published
by US. If our subscribers and patrons of
other publications do not read Letters
from the Orient they are missing con-
siderable valuable information regarding
customs and life in China.

and in this way the fertility of other
soils has been and is now being used
to build them up. These same con-
ditions exist in other countries. Much
OF Europe has gone through this per-
iod of soil depletion, and has taken
up dairying, until now in Germany,
Denmark, and Holland, where cows
are handled extensively, the land is
producing larger crops than it did
thirty years ago.
In many parts of Michigan the soil
is light and lacks humus or vegetable
matter that would make it productive.
Soil lacking vegetable matter will not
retain water and if it is sandy soil
it will be apt to blow around and pile
up in the fence corners. Such a soil
is of course very unproductive and
far from profitable. By rotation Of
crops, by marketing the crops grown
through dairy cows or other live
stock, and by using the manure, it is
possible to add humus to the soil and
make it more productive.
The dairy cow is an economical
producer of humus food. No other
animal can produce the same guam
tity of digestible food as economically
as can the COW. Because of this eco
ed to high-priced land and can utilize
high-priced feed to advantage. That
dairying is adapted to high-priced
land is shown by illustrations from
European countries. Land on the Is
land of Jersey, which is the home of
the Jersey cow, rents for $50 to $50
per acre. Land in Holland is valued
at 500 per acre, and the chief agri-
cultural pursuit is caring for and
handling the Holstein cow and her
products.
Further, dairying furnishes imme-
date and constant returns. All these
reasons surely show the advantage
and possibilities of dairying.

ferent types of roads for experiment
tai and object-lesson purposes were
constructed during the fiscal year
1912-1913 under the supervision Of
the Office of public roads, United
States department of agriculture, ac-
cording to Bulletin So Of the depart
ment, making a total of over 4,0O0,-
600 square yards of road constructed
under the supervision of this Office
since 1905.
The types of roads built were
brick, concrete, oil-cement concrete,
bituminous-surfaced concrete, btu
minous macadam, surface treatment,
macadam, asphalt-slag, oil-asphalt-
gravel, oil-gravel, oil-coraline, gray-
el-macadam, gravel-slag, sand-clay,
sand-gumbo, burnt clay, shell and
earth. The object lesson and expert
mental work during the past year
was done at cost Of the local COM
munities of $139,841.89. This does
not include the salaries and expenses
of the department engineers.
The road work during the year was

It is often said that the use of
state money for the construction Of
roads is of quite recent origin. The
New Jersey state aid law of 1891
is sometimes referred to as the first
instance of such use of state funds
in this country. AS a matter of fact
state money was spent for such pur-
poses more than rs years ago. Ken
tucy paid out over 100000 for
road improvements between 1920 and
1910, under the direction Of q state
highway engineer, who drew a SAL
airy Of $1,000 a year, very large
sum for those days. The roads built
then were 20 to 80 feet wide between
the bitches. The surfaces were con-
structed of broken stone, and the bot
toms were Of large stones wedged
together to make what road builders
call a telford foundation. About
1850 business conditions in the coun-
try became bad and this work stop
ped. When it was resumed in 1908
such long period had elapsed since
the earlier state-aid work that 1908
is usually fixed as the beginning of
state roadwork in Kentucky.

sometimes do not hatch. This is one
of the one hundred cases where fail
ure was due to negligence, but
through no fault of the purchaser or
the breeder. After reading this let
ter / believe we will have more char
ity with those from whom we pur-
chase eggs:
"Gentlemen:-I note with pleasure
the popularity your publication is
gaining and trust it will increase.
IL was deeply interested in an ar
ticle on Eggs in recent issue num-
Der. Last season was my first real
big season in shipping eggs for
Matching. Out of about fifty orders,
there came only one complaint. This
one bothered me considerably, and
I've tried to solve the problem of
why this one order did line up with
the others. I've concluded that the
railroad companies are in a measure
to blame. My reason for so believ-
ing is this: One day last summer
while waiting at a certain railway
station, / watched the loading of the
express, and especially kept my eye
on a small parcel containing eggs be-
longing to a local poultryman. /
was somewhat surprised and shocked
to see lazy-looking brakeman seize
the parcel and deliberately throw it
through the baggage or express car
door, distance of ten or twelve
feet, and it went end over end clear
to the back of the car. / informed
the local shipper of what / had seen
and he kept tab on the shipment.
Sure enough, in a few weeks he re-
ceived call down on the shipment
and lot of unnecessary abuse; but
he had a good witness, and the ex-
press company came across This
is only one instance, and believe
there are many others that would line
up with it, if the truth were known.
"There is one sure way to keep
eggs from Matching (this information
is applicable to the neighbor who
buys a couple of dozen to eat and
then trades them to another neighbor
for Matching purposes), and it is this:
Take each egg and give good shak-
ing before selling to suspicious egg
eating customers; this will take all
the hatch out of them.
when eggs are slammed around
on a train, like a trunk usually is,
there is reason to believe that the
Matching elements are pretty well
taken out. F. L. Baldwin"
