Is the student taught to consider if all

whether there should be a sex or edu-
cational or other limitation upon il?
Where in our schools are these sub jects
really discussed?
In short, although the prime business
of a democracy is government, are not
our schools, so favored by the State,
neglecting absolutely their duty to the
public and failing to build an intelligent
body of citizens accustomed to consi
deration ard study of political questions
and ready to enter upon their deter
mination with an open mind?
Have we not too long assumed that
which was good enough, though none
too good even for them, to meet the
immediate necessities of our great
grandfathers, was good enough for US
in government? No longer content
ourselves to live in log cabins, 20 travel
by land over bride paths or roads deep
in mud, to journey by water in canoes,
to communicate with our neighbors only
at long intervals, to manufacture, each
family for itself, its own clothing,
nevertheless, we seem to consider that
antique government is the government
we should cherish, and that its forms,
clothed in the homespun of past gener-
ations, are admirable. Attempting 10
make the outworn institutions of a
hundred years ago do the WORK Of a
modern civilization we fail to meet the
problems of today by lessons from up
to- date experience, thought and ob-
servation, and there have grown up the
evils of our State government, includ.
ing all of its corruptions and ineff1cien-
ces.
Our spasmodc attempts at betterment
have been controlled by our timidity
We have been like Mistrust and Tim

I desire to discuss next improve
ments in our State Government which,
put into force. will have the double
effect of reducing corruptions of ma
chine government, and of promoting
and advancing the real democratic
theory to which We profess allegiance.
In this advance it will be necessary for
US to study and apply fearlessly some
lessons which have been taught US by
our national government and by corpo-
rate management where this has been
most efficient.

Poultry Keeping on Farms.

Few farmers take the interest in
poultry keeping that they should take
This as great mistake. The prospects
of profits from this branch of livestock
keeping are excellent.
In 1910 there were 6,361, SOP farms in
the United States. Fowls were raised
on 5.585,O32 of these farms.
The number of fowls Kept on farms
were 295, $50, ,l80. The production of
eggs, however, was reported for only
1883, 759 farms, and the number of
fowls kept on these farms was given as
1873. .245,92,l' The eggs produced num-
bered l,457,385, IT'S dozens. Since the
males were reported iu the number of
fowls, the estimated average production
of eggs per fowl of farm focks in this
country was placed at about six dozen,
or 72 eggs per fowl, year.
The average price received for the
eggs was 1873 cents per dozen. The
total income from the sale and use of
eggs on farms was about $1.15 per hen
a year. If the cost of feed should be
estimated and deducted from this in
come it wonld show very small bal
ance of profit for the farmer or his
wife.
The figures are equally startling when
the value of the fowls themselves is
considered. In 1909 the total number
of fowls raised was 4Ss, 46s, 900 and
their value was $2O2 5O6,OO This
would give an average value to farm
fowls of 40 cents each, which would
indicate either very small type of
fowl or an exceedingly low price.
Since the wholesale price that year
ranged from IL to 18 cents pound ftr
poultry, it would show that the avera.
farm fowl is not very promising pro
duct for profit.
Census statistics have been brought
together to show what was being done
by farmers in the line Of poultry keep
ing. Blu. the progressive farmer is be-
coming alive to the situation. Free
farm range is an economic advantage
over the confined poultry yard. 1t is
much cheaper to raise poultry on farms
than under city or subur ban onditions
From many years of experience in
raising poultry, it is believed that poul.
try keeping offers an opportunity to
farmers for steady cash income at
all seasons of the year. When many
other lines of work are at a standstill
on the farm. poultry keeping offers q
means Of profitable labor, especially
during the winter season.

We shall have no voice in de-
termining what the peace terms
shall be, but we shall, feel sure,
have a voice in determining
whether they shall be made last
ing or not by the guarantees OF a
universal covenant; and our
judgment upon what is funda-
mental and essential as a condi-
ton precedent to permanency
should be spoken now, not after
wards, when it may be too late.
No covenant of cooperative
peace that does not include the
peoples of the new world can
suffice to keep the future safe
against war; and yet there is
only one sort of peace that the
peoples of America could join in
guaranteeing.
Only a tranquil Europe can be
a staple Europe. There must be
not a balance of power, but a
community Of power; not organ
lied rivalries. but an organized
common peace.
It must be a peace without
victory. Victory would mean
peace forced upon the loser, a
victor's terms imposed upon the
vanquished. 1t would be accept
ed in humiliation, under duress,
at an intolerable sacrifice, and
would leave a sting, a resent
ment, a bitter memory upon
which terms of peace would rest,
not permanently, but only as
upon quicksand.
The equality of nations upon
which peace must be founded il
it is to last must be an equality
of rights; the guarantees ex'
changed must neither recognize
nor imply a difference between
big nations and small, between
those that are powerful and
those that are weak.
The paths of the sea must
alike in law and in fact be free.
The freedom of the seas is the
sine qua non of peace equality
and cooperation.
I am proposing that all nations
henceforth avoid entangling
alliances which would draw them
into competitions of power, catch
them in a net of intrigue and
selfish rivalry and disturb their
own affairs with influences in
truded from without.
am proposing, as it were, that
the nations should with one &C.
cord adopt the doctrine of Presi-
dent Monroe as the doctrine of
the world.

TRAINING BOYS TO
PROFIT BY FARMING
IMPORTANT PART OF THE WORK
OF THE COUNTY DEMON
STRATION AGENT.
ADDS TO SCHOOL INTEREST
Is Recognized AS Necessary To
the Agricultural Develop
ment Of the
State.

College Park, Md, Jan. 25.-The
records Of the Extension Service for
the past year show that one of the
most important pieces of work done by
the County Demonstration Agents Of
the State has been the training OF our
country boys in profitable methods OF
farming. In no section of the country
has greater interest been aroused or is
there.a sincerer wish on the part of
all classes OF people to see the young
farmer Of tomorrow properly encour-
aged to educate himself for success
fuI farming. The improvement of corn
and potato yields by following demon
stration methods, the growing of more
profitable pigs and poultry, making
money out of the home orchard, these
are some of the things the young farm
ers enrolled by County Demonstration
Agents under the leadership of the
State College of Agriculture have done
and are doing. Even more important
is the revolution it is causing in the
way the father and mother feels to-
ward the boy. They are realizing that
the way to make him happy and con-
tented and to wed him to profitable
farm life is to give him the oppor-
tunity to farm for himself, to meet
with other boys, and to have bank
account of his own. True farm part
nership is fast becoming characteristic
of Maryland and in future that holds
a promise of both profit and honor
many of our boys see something
worthy of their work and ambition.
In reporting on his work among the
boys, County Agent E. F. White, Of
Queen Anne, which has held the cham
pionship for three years, says: "The
winner in our Queen Anne County
Club, J. Earl Smith, grew 110.5 bush
els of standardized shelled corn at
cost of 15.5 cents per bushel. The
average yield for the county, according
to official records is SO bushels per
acre BY carefully selecting and grad
ing their seed corn, planting only in
well l-prepared seed beds, and giving
frequent shallow cultivation our corn
club boys have been able to raise an
average Of IA bushels to the acre, or
35 bushels more than the average for
the county, and at a cost As per cent.
of the county average" Nor should
we forget to add that the boy who
raises an average crop of corn like
the above and puts the profit to his
account is Certain to become prog
ressive farmer in his home county and
a pupil in his school who sees the
value of education as applied to farm
| life.

Lime Is ProfitabTy Used.

College Park, Md, Jan. 25.-Reports
received by the Agricultural Extension
Service from County Demonstration
indicate that lime is being more and
more used as necessary part Of sue
cessful crop production in the State.
In this connection, valuable informa-
ton regarding the use of lime has
been issued by the Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in a circular
prepared by Nicholas Schmitz, Of the
Agricultural Extension Service. He
urges the liberal use of lime, saying:
"The kind of lime to apply will de-
pend almost entirely upon the relative
cost of the different forms. The main
function of lime is to correct acidity.
ANY form will do this, but it requires
practically twice as much ground lime
stone or oyster shells, and one and
one-quarter times as much hydrated
lime as burned lime to do the same
amount of good The fneness to
which the raw material is ground de-
termines to a great extent its ef-
fectiveness. The finer the better.
Whether we should use lime de-
rived from limestone or oyster shells
depends upon how we are situated
with regard to transportation, since
freight rates are an important item to
consider. We cannot say that either
source of lime is decidedly better than
the other.
How and When To Apply Lime.
"The method of spreading lime will
depend upon the kind used. If we use
lump lime we may slack it in large pile
and spread it with manure spreader,
or it may be placed in small piles over
the field and after Stacking, spread
with shovels. If the latter method Is
used, 20 pounds heaps Il peck) placed
20 feet apart each way, or 1 bushel
40 feet each way, will provide about
one ton per acre. The small piles
have the advantage over the larger
ones in Stacking more readily, and on
account of being closer together, will
not necessitate it being thrown so far
nth the shovels when spreading. Mix
ing Stacked lime with fine earth before
spreading will make it less disagree
able to handle.
"If the ground stone or hydrated
lime be used, the most convenient way
to distribute it will be with lime
spreader Caustic lime should never
be mixed with manure or commercial
fertilizers. 1t is better to plow the
manure under and put the lime on top
of the soil after blowing If COM
mercial fertilizer is used the lime
should be applied few weeks before
the application of the fertilizer is
made.

THE PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL
MILITARY TRAINING AND
SERVICE.

What is Universal Military
Training and Service?
It is an organized nation in
arms, in which every citizen is
stone in the defense wall of his
country.
Upon what principle is it
based?
Upon the principle that every
man who enjoys the benefits of
citizenship is bound by obliga-
tion to serve in the defense of
his country; and that it is the
obligation of the National Gov
ernment so to train every citizen
and equip him that he will be
able to serve with the greatest
value to the nation and the least
possible danger to himself.
Is the element Of compulsion
compatible with democracy?
It is; because it places the bur-
den of service and sacrifice
equally upon all citizens regard
less of class or person. It has
come into use with the growth
of democracy throughout the
world. There is nothing more
democratic than that all men
must stand side by side in the
ranks.
What will be the advantages
of Universal Training and Ser
vice for the United States?
1. 1t will secure peace by pro-
viding for the nation a great
army of trained citizen soldiery
able to defend it.
2. 1t will give the United
States an efficient military system
under the single control of the
Federal Government, from which
can be obtained the greatest re-
suits at the minimum cost.
8. 1t will eliminate the in
justice of the present volunteer
system. In case of war some
would not have to suffer because
others are unwilling to suffer.
Losses would fall upon good
types and bad alike, so that
America would not have to lose
the finest of her manhood and
depend upon the less worthy to
carry on the nation.
4. 1t will give our young men
during the most unproductive
period of life, a course of train
ing which will be of inestimable
value in increasing their useful
ness to themselves and to the
community, as we'll as fitting
them to do their duty to the
country.
5. 1t will teach our people to
love the nation and to feel the
honor of national service; and it
will discipline us in respect for
authority and will increase the
sturdiness of our declining Am
erican manhood.
6. Our Recruiting Offices tell
us that our men are 80 per cent
unfit. Switzerland, with her
universal military service, shows
the world a record of 70 per cent
OF her men physically efficient.
1t you favor this compulsory
service and believe that this vital
question needs immediate and
active support, we urge you to
sign the petition to be sent to
Congress which is being circu-
lated urging the immediate action
by that body to remedy our pre-
sent military situation.
A copy of the petition is in
The Enquirer office and may be
signed here if you desire, or you
may clip the advertisement of a
copy. of the petition published
in another column of this paper,
sign and send that in.

M|LITIAMEN FINED
 FOR SALOON ROW
Anderson Also Reduced to Private
 by Superior Officers

TWO members of Company E, First Infantry, Cook Arthur Anderson and Private Henry E. Gardiner and an other man said to be masquerading as soldier Henry Bretschneider, were arraigned before Judge James T. Mesklll in police court this morning on charges of drunkenness arising out of an alleged disturbance in Schultz's East Main street saloon yesterday af- ternoon. The men pleaded not guilty but in the opinion of the court they were and fines of S15 and costs were imposed on Anderson and $5 and costs on Gardiner, while Bretschneid CT. because of his youth and favora ble appearance, was let off with a sus- pended sentence.
 According to the testimony dis closed in court. Anderson, Gardiner and 'Bretschneider visited Schultz's sa- loon yesterday afternoon and after playing the piano and singing they de- handed drinks. Upon being refused they argued that the army bill rela- tive to serving drinks to men in uni form had been suspended. but when '''i NN''''Ni proceeded to help themselves to beer, it was claimed
 Soldiers Accuse Saloon Man.
 The story told by the three men in khaki differed materially from that told by the other witnesses. While their statements savored of the sen sational. especially when they openly charged the saloon proprietor With selling them liquor earlier in the af- ternoOn. the court was not impressed with their sincerity. Anderson testi- fled that while in the saloon Private Gardiner bought a round of drinks and was served. Gardiner, himself declared that he ordered a round of drinks for himself and his two com panions and was served, but later the bartender refused to give them more A beer glass found in Anderson's pos session was given to him to keep a souVcnier. the soldier explained. All three denied being drunk.
 At the state armorN this morning it was stated that Anderson, who, for a long time has been company cook, had been reduced to the rank of private It was also stated that Bretschneider who, the police say said he was a member of Company F, is not sol dier at all. Men at the armory state that Bretschneider enlisted in Com pany F in April but was later dis charged because of physical disa abl- ity. but of late has been putting in most of his time at the armory and recently secured a uniform which he has been wearing.
