PRIVATE POTTS RELATED
TO DORCHESTER PEOPLE
Young Man Who Was Killed in
France Was Descended From
Spedden Family of Neck District.

n maiden lady, Miss Julia Clark,
73 years old, will receive the Cross
of War awarded to Private James Z.
/ Potts, of the One Hundred and Sew
enteenth Trench Mortar Battery, who
was killed in action in France, and
who was one of the five members of
the battery who We're awarded the
decoration by the French Govern
ment
In addition, she will receive the
So 900 for which Potts life was in
sured under the Government plan
for insuring its soldiers.
Miss Clark was Potts foster mo-
ther. She took care of him from the
time he was Il months old, when
his parents died, until a few years
ago, when he left the house and the
two and one-half acres at BetteTton,
where Miss Clark and her brother,
William Clark, live, and went to
Baltimore. Miss Clark was the first
cousin of Private Potts father. She
took him first TO the home iii Chur-
chill, Queen Anne's county, where
she and her brother, William, and
another brother, Ira T. Clark, were
all living together in big, Old-fash-
ioned Maryland farmhouse at Chur-
chill. \ spinster among her married
brothers, she always made the Potts
lad her special charge, and cared for
him consistently through all the
movements of the family.
She was not concerned about the
insurance when she was called over
the phone yesterday. but she was
deeply interested in the Cross Of
War. She wanted that She is
small and slight, but active, in spite
of her 13 years. She is not an adept
at using the telephone, however.and
she got a neighbor to talk for her.
'Of course, am proud of Edgar"
she said. And | should like to have
the Cross of War which was award
ed to him. What must l do to get
it,"
1t has been the practice in the past
to give such decora tions awarded to
men killed in action to their next of
kin, and the elderly lady at Better
ton will probably hold in her hand
some day soon the symbol Of her
foster sons heroism.
She was made the beneficiary of
Potts insurance, and it is known
that every man in the battery took
out the full $4,000 allowed by the
Government.
Private Potts, through his mother,
-is a descendent of the Spedden fami-
ly, of the Neck district, this county.
He is a cousin of Mr.. Frank J. Tue
ker.

The School Law
editor of The Banner

Editor of The Banner:
Last week you published two let
ters attacking the compulsory scnool
law. These letters had best pass un-
noticed, except that they state that a
member of the Dorchester delegation
at Annapolis has introduced a bill to
repeal the school law, and that the
entire delegation approved the bill.
This seems almost too shocking to
be true. We wonder whom our dele
gates are representing? Surely not
the progressive people of the county.
Perhaps seme of us need to be re-
minded of the very mild require
ments of our present school law; that
children up to twelve go the whole
school year; those of thirteen and
fourteen are only compelled to make
one hundred days, and those of fif-
teen and sixteen, may be excused al
together if they have completed the
lowest grades. Does anybody think
that too much education for his own
child, or his neighbor'S?
Two years ago when the educa-
tional survey was made in Maryland,
one of the Board looked across the
river from Talbot to Dorchester and
remarked that Dorchester was hun
dred years behind Talbot in school
matters. We don't want to rest un-
der that stigma, do We? Just be-
cause a war is on, it is not right tC
take away from our children the
privilege of education, for that is
what it means to children of ignor-
ant or selfish parentage, or none. II
is up to the man and woman to work
harder, and for the children to dc
their part outside of school time. Let
us remember that in France they put
gas masks on children and send them
to school in cellars.
There is one way to let our people
at Annapolis understand that we are
not in favor of putting our war bur
den on our children-to write tC
them and say so. Won't you, man
or woman, write today to the mem
Der at Annapolis you know. If they
are personally unknown to you, just
write to the chairman of the Dor
chester delegation, Annapolis, Md
Let us show them that Dorchester
has just little higher standard thar
they thought-that we don't believe
in making beasts of burden of oul
children-that we believe the State
should guarantee reasonable schoo
ing to every child, even if he has ig
norant, selfish parents, or none
Let's surprise our representatives.

STATEMENT OF
PRESIDENT WILSON
Issued in Connection With Wheat
Price Proclamatiou

The President has issued the fol-
; lowing statement:
Under the food control act of Au-
gust 10, 1917, it is my duty to an
nounce a guaranteed price for wheat
of the 1918 harvest. | am, there
fore, issuing a proclamation setting
the price at the principal interior
primary markets. 1t makes no es-
sential alteration in the present
prices of wheat, with some adjust
mentS arising from the designation
of additional terminal marketing g
points.
This guaranteed price assures the
farmer of reasonable profit even if
the war should end within the year
and the large stores of grain in those
sections of the world that are now
cut off from transportation should
again come into competition with
his products. To increase the price
of wheat above the present figure,
or to agitate any increase of price,
would have the effect of very seri-
ously hampering the large opera
tions of the Nation and OF the allies
by causing the wheat OF last years
crop to be withheld from the market
1t would, moreover, diSlocate all the
present wage levels that have been
established after much anxious dis
cussion and would, therefore. create
an industrial unrest which would be
harmful to every industry in the
country.
Il know the spirit of our farmers
and have not the least doubt as to
the loyalty with which they will ac-
cept the present decision. The fall
wheat planting, which furnishes two
thirds of cur wheat production, took
place with no other assurance than
this, and the farmers confidence was
demonstrated by the fact that they
planted an acreage larger than the
record of any preceding year, larger
by 100000 acres than the second
largest record year, and 1000, 900
acres more than the average for the
five years before the outbreak of the
European war.
1t seems not to be generally un-
derstood why wheat is picked out for
price determination, and only wheat,
among the cereals. The answer is
that, while normal distribution of
all our farm products has been sub
ject TO great disturbances during the
last three years because of war con-
ditions, only two important commod-
tiles, namely, wh& Iand sugar, have
been so seriously q acted as to re
quire governmel e Intervention.
The disturbances I:h affect these
products (and others in less degree)
arise from the fact that all of the
overseas shipping in the world is
now under Government control and
that the Government is obliged to
assign tonnage to each commodity
that enters into commercial over
seas traffic. 1t has, consequently,
been necessary to establish single
agencies for the purchase of the food
supplies which must go abroad. The
purchase of wheat in the United
States for foreign use is of SO great
volumein comparison with the avail
able domestic supply that the price
of wheat has beet materially dis
turbed and it beea ne necessary, in
o. protect, both the producer
pTeyent specu-
