The head camp of the Woodmen of
the World which convened in Phoenix
on March goth, and remained in session
for three days, was a very peaceable,
orderly and well hammered convention.
True there were some disagreements
as to who should serve the body Of
ficially for the ensuing two years, but
with the weakness of human nature,
and with mans ambition for honors,
who would be so much a dreamer as
to hope for a convention without some
rather mild and friendly disagree
ments. The visitors came and met,
and conquered, and Salt River valley
WOodmen are valiant losers. At the
surrender of the southern army to the
nothern, it was said of Grant, the vic
/ torious, that he gave food to the van
pushed. The Phoenix Woodmen did
more. They the vanquished, gave food
to the visitors, the victorious. On
Tuesday evening, March goth, ban
Quet was spread at the armory, and a
large number of Woodmen partook of
the feast, and then oratory held sway
The eXemplificaton of the ritualistic
work at the armory on Wednesday
evening, though somewhat delayed,
was success, and proved one of the
big events during the convention. The
leading chairs were filled by New
Mexico delegates, and the degree teams
from Glendale, Mesa and Phoenix, each
escorted a candidate through the
meshes of the forest, and there were
many pitfalls in the by-ways which the
candidates did not all escape. There
were at times Indications that the hail
of the armory had been the mo man
land" between the French and German
armies, ard had been thoroughly mined
and fused. But there were no dead to
bury, yet it was feared help might be
summoned when Sow Frank Moss
hammer attempted to display his abil-
ity as a tonsorial artist. 1t was in
deed close shave, yet the victim still
lives, but it isn't Franks fault.
On Thursday evening, March 22nd
there was produced for the second
time in Phoenix the play, THE Wood
man." under the tutelage of our good
friend, Charles Ellis, and the only
criticism that could be offered is that
there wasn't enough people out to wit
ness it. The play was deserving of a
better house. All the parts were

we'll played, and the players deserve
the richest encomiums Here's to you
all Sorry we can't donate to each of
YOU a castle and a rich legacy. Please
accept our regrets.
Last Monday evening business
session of Phoenix camp was held,
and routine business transacted, and
reports of committees who had in
charge the arrangements for the head
camp. received and adopted. 1t was
announced that 105 candidates had
been obligated in Phoenix, Glendale
and Mesa during the campaign for
membership for the head camp. Some
of these candidates did not present
themselves for adoption during the
head camp sessions, and many are yet
to receive their degrees. Only one pre-
scented himself on last Monday even
ing, and he was asked to appear at
later time to have things done to him.
This party was our good friend, L. q.
HAYS. and some real good friend had
better provide him with good sized
pillow before starting for the camp
room on next Monday evening. He
made an entertaining speech after his
being received into the mysteries and
assured all the boys they were splendid
fellows, and that he appreciated their
courtesy and consideration. The boys
will give him the consideration he
courts and prove themselves splendid
fellows Nothing slow about the
Phoenix bunch
One of the real nice acts of the con-
vention days was the presenting of
check for the sum of fifty dollars by
Sow. NJ. L. Stewart, acting on behalf
of Sovereign Commander w. A.
Fraser. to each of the uniformed de-
gree teams from Mesa, Glendale and
Phoenix, for so splendidly cooperating
with the officers, and the head camp
| in the exemplification of the work, and
their enthusiasm for Woodcraft The
teams are deserving, and their MEM
bers will appreciate the sentiment
which inspired the gift, and will en-
deavor to be worthy.

touring design, and switch the two at
the dictates of temperature.
The touring or convertible sedan
has changed all this. Ii has long been
demonstrated that the vast majority Of
motorists seldom lower the tops on
their touring cars during an entire
season. With this in view, motor car
o"'1eners brought forth the touring
sedan with permanent top, and the
wing public has welcomed the type
with open arms
Reports from the Chalmers Motor
Company indicate an unprecedented
sale of the Chalmers touring sedan
model. 1t has proven to be the only
type yet brought out that is called for
365 days in the year. Women motor
lists in particular who have struggled
with refractory zone man tops during
sudden summer shoewrs, have flocked
to the standard of the sedan, and their
influence is seen in the record spring
sale of these cars.
The all-glass construction of the
body, which has rendered it a sun
parlor on wheels" in the winter
months, is removed with ease and the
interior is opened wide to the summer
breeZes. In the Chalmers sedan, the
drivers seat is of the club chair
type, luxuriously upholstered. Next to
the drivers seat, but separated by an
aisle is folding chair seat that
swings back against the wall when not
in use. Four other passengers are
seated in comfort in the rear.
Many owners of touring sedanS
provide seat covers of light weight
khaki or other material for the tour
ing sedan in the summer months. This
keeps the upholstery free from dust
and dirt and in readiness for its cold
weather role of closed car during the
winter months

What A Government Bond Is.

The Government of the United
States has two methods of raising
money. One is by taxation. The
other is by the sale of bonds, which
Is a method of borrowing money.
The Government bond is the print
ed promise of the Government to pay
back the borrowed sum of money at
a certain time, and to pay interest
on it at regular intervals until it is
repaid.
The Government borrows money
in this way only after it has been
given the right to do so by act of
Congress approved by the President,
and the terms of the loan are set out
in the act.
Back of the promise of the Gov
eminent stands the honor of the
Government and all it's taxing re-
sources. Really the whole wealth of
the Nation stands behind this solemn
promise of the Government to pay.
This makes the United States Gov
eminent bond the safest investment
in the world. If the bond of the
United States Government is not
safe, no property in the United
States is safe. If the United States
can not pay its bonds, it is hardly
probable that it will be able to pro-
tect the citizens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917
are especially attractive investments.
Not only have they this absolute
safety characteristic of all United
States bonds but they are tax free
not only from all existing taxes but
from any war tax that may subse-
quently be levied. No State, city,
nor county may tax them. The in
heritance tax of the United States
and of some States may affect them,
or, rather affect their transfer after
death of the owner by will or by in
heritance.
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that if the
Government issues bonds later on
during this war at higher rate of
interest the holders OF Liberty Loan
Bonds will be allowed to exchange at
par value their bonds for bonds
bearing the higher rate of interest.

Farmers Day At State College OF
Agriculture.


The laying of the cornerstone of
the new Agricultural Building was
the center of attraction for the
record crowd that attended the
joint Farmers Day and Commence
ment Exercises at the Maryland
State College of Agriculture on May
30th. In connection with the CAM
paign for increased production the
Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service arranged for demon
stration in blowing, narrowing, and
seeding by a dozen we'll known
makes of farm tractors. Demon
STATIONS in home canning and dry
ing for farm women were in progress
at the same time, at the Experiment
Station. Farmers had an oppor-
tunity to see the treatment of hogs.
for cholora, the proper handling OF
bees, the use of power machinery IN
spraying and busting, the mixing of
spray mixtures, the testing of soils
for lime, and many other operations
that are necessary to improved pro-
duction.
Picnic lunch was served to visitors
from noon until two O'Clock at which
time free moving pictures were on
display in the College auditorium.
At two o'clock the cornerstone of
the new Agricultural Building was
laid, the ceremony being conducted
by the Grand Lodge of Masons of
Maryland. Following the ceremony,
the graduation exercises took place
on the campus when A young men
received their diplomas, many of
whom returned from active work on
the farms of the State for the cere-
mony. Herbert L. Quick, promi-
nent member of the Federal Farm
Loan Board, was the orator of the
day, speaking on the opportunities
for National service that are pre-
scented to the farmers of the State
An intercollegiate track meet and
exhibition drill were also interesting
features of the day.

LIBERTY LOAN is CALLING YOU,
Maryland's Quota $25, O,OOO-This
Sum Must Be Subscribed BY

june 10.
The Liberty Loan is calling you.
President Wilson and every man
IN authority in the United States
government expects every Maryland
er to do his or her duty on or before
June Is, when the time limit on the
subscriptions to the 100000 1000
Liberty Loan will expire. Only two
weeks remain in which Maryland
must subscribe 100000, the sum
which this state, with an assessed
wealth of over one and half billion
dollars, is expected to contribute in
aiding the Allies in building bull
warks against the Germans and in
preparing for defense on land and
sea.
At three meetings addressed in
Baltimore Friday by members of
Baltimore's Liberty Loan Committee,
more than 100000 was subscribed
ON the spot to the government war
bonds, and three individual move
ments launched to increase these
subscriptions to millions.
1t is not necessary to pay cash in
full for a bond. One can pay down
2 per cent of the purchasing price on
application-that is, 81 for $50
bond, 50 for a 500 bond, etc. is
per cent on July rs, 1917; 20 per
cent July 80, 1917; so per cent
August Is, 1917; and the balance,
80 per cent, August 80, 1917.

The Terms OF The Liberty Loan.


The act authorizing the Liberty
Loan Bonds of 1917 was passed
April "a, 1917. 1t provides for the
issuance of 100000 of 31a
per cent bonds, the interest payable
semiannually on December Is and
June Is of each year. The principal
is repayable on or after the 18th day
of June, 1882, at the option of the
Government, and if this option is not
exercised the bonds will run full 80
years and become due June IS,
1947.
The bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all tax
alton, national, State, county, or
municipal, except the inheritance
tax, which is really not a tax on the
property, but on the transfer of
property by will or inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par;
that is, dollar for dollar, no premium
and no discount. They are to be
sold by the Treasurer of the United
States and by all Federal Reserve
banks. But all banks, National and
State, post Offices, and express COM
panies have been designated as
agents of the Government to receive
applications for these bonds. 1t is
almost as easy to purchase one of
these bonds as it is to get a post

MARYLAND WANTS YOUNG MEN
FOR NAVY.
Opportunities Offered For Advance
ment In This Arm OF Service.

Opportunities Offered For Advance
ment In This Arm OF Service.
Within the next few days, Mary
land will be assigned by the Bureau
of Navigation, a new quota of Navy
recruits as it's share in bringing up
the aquatic arm of the country's de-
tense to 10000 men in accordance
with bill recently passed by Con-
gress.
1t is expected, by the Navy recruit
ing authorities at Baltimore, that the
State will be asked to supply no less
.han 1000 men.
1t is not believed likely that the
provisions of the Selective Draft Bill
will apply to the Navy. Men for the
country's first line of defense will be
raised by the volunteer system. This
will give the young men of the State
an opportunity to choose the branch
of service in which they will serve.
BY selecting the Navy, young
man chooses an opportunity to be-
come a line officer in the United
States Navy without passing through
the Naval Academy. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels has decided that in
the future 100 bright young men
will be picked each year from the en-
listed personnel and sent to the
Naval Academy.
Besides this number, hundreds of
men from the enlisted ranks will be
given commissions in the line.
This will leave vacancies that will
be filled from the ratings below
them, and no ambitious young man
need reach point in the Navy where
he will remain in the lower ratings,
Before reaching the stage where
he is eligible to selection either for
the Naval Academy examination or
an appointment as line officer, the
enlisted man in the Navy finds him
self engaged in an avocation that is
unusually interesting and for which
the pay and allowances are a great
deal better than offered in the
average position in civilian life.
Men in the Navy have the oppor-
tunities to see the world, for which
civilians must pay extensively. The
battleships of the United States go TO
nearly every port in the world, and 1t
would be impossible to imagine
another avocation in which a young
man would get these advantages of
travel.
The Navy recruiting authorities of
the Maryland District are doing all
in their power to get the advantages
of the Navy before the young men of
the State.
Arrangements have been made
whereby information concerning the
Navy can be obtained from every
postmaster in the State.
The age limits for enlistments are
from IT to 35 years. Minors must.
however, have the written consent
of their parents, or legal guardian.
and in order that these may be pre-
sented in the proper manner, forms
have been provided by the Navy Dc
partment and can be procured from
the postmasters of the various cities
and towns throughout the State.

Bowel Complaints i'm India.

In lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary
from India told of going into the
interior of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy with him and believed
that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as
= preventive and cure for cholera.
You may know from this that it can
be depended upon for the milder
forms of bowel complaint that occur
in this country. Obtainable every
where.
