MIAMI, Okla, De,. Ever since
our youth we have heard the EXPIRES

but nowhere on earth is 1t palmer TO
be seen than in the great Miami min
Ing field, where men and women.
many of them of culture and refine
ment are seeking their fortune far
below the surface OF the earth.
A few days ago the writer had oc-
casion 10 visit a tent out in the min
Ing field and as We approached we
could see a young couple at their
midday meal.
The young couple were kneeiing OF
the ground beside an oven and all
that could be seen in the way OF eat
nbles was n stack of griddle cakes
and n pot OF beans and yet as the
man held glass before the eyes OF
his wife their faces were encircled
with the halo of the inspired

pie but he permits us to know the
effect Of military victory. The con-
servative union of Brandenburg, for
instance, an important section OF the
junker party resolution from which
the following is taken verbatim.
THE Prussian state, fundamentally
a people OF its princes, is the foun-
dation on which the German empire
rests. Not the sovereignty of the
people. but kingship by divine right
! is its cornerstone. We implore our
| deputies to do their best TO prevent
the kingship being debased into a
sham kingship and being replaced by
the sovereignty Of the people
And the following dig at the presi-
dent is from pastoral letter of the
German Episcopate which has been
read three times in every Catholic
church iA Germany:
| The war has not relaxed in Ger
many the old sacred bond between
people and prince. We have felt it
to be a burning disgrace that anyone
should have offered us peace as a
Judas reward for a breach Of loyalty
to the kaiser. Just as little do we
agree with those who regard the will
Of the people as the ultimate source
of right and might. Such persons
excite the people and befool them
with the catchwords OF equal justice
for all and the equality ofall classes -
Russian Propaganda Goes Home
But from other sources It is evi-
dent that this renewed aggressiveness
of the reactionary powers in Germany
is not the only political movement.
The Russl1ns may be misguided
statesman but they are good propa-
Gandists. There is no doubt what
ever that some of their propaganda
Is r.aching the German people over
the heads of the generals and l. in
ltensifying the discomfort Of con-
side rable section OF the German peo-
pie. Germany is thus very really
threatened with disruption by the
intensification of the extreme views
lof reactlonaries and pacfists.

Allies Can Hold Line.
There is no doubt here that The
allies have the resources to hold the
line; for big offensive, the military
difficulties of the situation are ac-
centuated by the fact that communi-
cations on Germanys side or the
single front are on land while the
allies must depend upon the Mediter-
ranean for all supplies going to the
southeastern half Of the line, from
the Piave to Persia, and the Medi-
terranean has hitherto been the most
backward area of anu-submar.Ile
warfare.
Great Britain Is in these days max
ing supreme call upon her man
power; all now realize Americas
willingness and capacity for putting
such forces under arms as VIII make
the joint power OF the allies an In
vincible host. But, 1t cannot be re-
peated too often, the effectiveness
Of American military participation
depends upon the destruction of
submarines and the construction of
ships. Great Britain is putting forth
her utmost effort to meet these es-
sential conditions for victory; 1t is
generally believed that America is
now dong the same. On the Anglo
American effort the final issue of
the war depends. There is no ten
dency to question the stability OF
Italy and France with the full powers
of the Anglo-SaXon race with them
and behind them.

Farm Demonstration Notes.

A field meeting Of Montgom cry county
beekeepers was held Friday. June LIST. at
the apiary Of Miss Hannah X. Sewell, For
est Glen. Addresses and papers by Mr.. G.
H. Gale. Of the Maryland State College Of
Agriculture, Mr.. DeMuth, OF the u. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture. County Agent
Van HOesen. Miss Sewell and Mr.. Frank l..
Lea. made up the program. Mr.. Lea gave
an interesting talk on beekeeping in equa-
torial Africa. illustrating II with appliances
used by the natives. A Montgomery Coun-
ty Beekeepers Association was organized.
which will affiliate with the State AssOcia-
ton.
Anyone wishing to employ a boy for
farm work during the summer should COM
municate with the Farm Demonstration
Office. Several applications are on file at
the College from boys desiring employ
ment.
The Farm Demonstration Office Is now
prepared to test soils for lime requirement
by the same method used at the Expert
ment Station. This method Is much more
satisfactory than the litmus-paper test. as
it not only shows whether the soil is acid
or not, but also determines the approx
mate amount Of lime necessary 10 correct
the acidity. II is practically useless to
apply less lime than is necessary to cor
rect acidity. Neither is II good business
management to apply more than is neces-
sary. In either case there Is a substantial
financial loss. In the Aggregate this loss
amounts to thousands Of dollars to the
county every year. Samples Of soil may
be brought to the Office for testing. or the
County Agent will visit your farm and
make the tests on the ground. Since proper
lining is one Of our most important farm
operations. we can scarcely give II too
careful consideration. A half-pint sample
Of soil will be sufficient. and It should be
taken at different depths up to eight inches.
Farmers Day at Maryland State Agri-
cultural College May 30th was largely at
tended. fully 5000 people being present.
A number Of unusual features were on the
program, one Of the most important being
the laying Of the cornerstone Of the new
$4,000 Agricultural Building Mont
eomery county farmers were much in evil
dence.

The TINE To SUBSCRIBE EXPIRES JUNE Is.

The TINE To SUBSCRIBE EXPIRES JUNE Is.
The Liberty Loan Committee of Mont
eomery County to elicit interest in the
Liberty Loan. now being offered by the
Federal Government. call your attention
to the existing situation, as given below:
There is the strongest reasons for believ-
ing that the United States will prove to be
the decisive factor in the Great War. The
best judges are OF the opinion that the
submarine will not end the war, that the
food shortage will not end the war. that
the present colossal conflict on the West
ern Front may not end the war.
Military men admit that until the United
States entered the great conflict there was
no decisive factor in sight. How quickly.
then. or how slowly. the United States
meets these enormous obligations is the
answer to the question of the wars length.
Aside from the question Of shortening
the war. there are life-and-death reasons
why the United States should speed pre-
parations for the great conflict. There are
possible, and even probable. contingencies
which might cause the United States to bear
the brunt of the fighting on her own shores :
II Russia should collapse.
II the British feet should be overcome.
II the food situation should bring our
Allies to their knees.
II great reversals should be met on the
I Western Front.
/ II the submarine menace be not checked
We should move to day as II we were
/ 10 face Germany alone tomorrow.
THE speed Of the United States in send
ine ships, munitions and men will probably
be the determining factor in the war"
