NATURE GOOD TO MARYLAND
Fruit. Game, Grain, Nuts, seautiru'
Streams Found in Abundance IN
Favored Section.

The squirrels are "cutting hick-
ory" and incidentally raiding the
fields of ripe corn; persimmon trees
are heavy with green fruit that gives
promise of much luscious sweetness
after the first hard frost; early fiocks
of ducks are winging over the coves
and creeks where the wild celery
upon which they feed is thick and
long; and in the marshes the wild
bats are dropping their ripe grain
faster than the ortolans and reed
birds can gather it, according to
Niksah. All these are signs that au-
tumn is coming in tidewater Mary
land.
One must not forget either, that
oysters are almost prime and the
fishermen are gathering them by the
boatload, and that the sea trout are
running and watermelons are ripe.
Truly this region is friendly to man
in its abundance of things that are
good to eat. No wonder that the
Indians loved the country, and that
some of the first white men who came
to America made it their home.
It is not land of striking beauty,
but one nevertheless pleasing to the
eye. Slow-moving creeks spread into
broad covers as they meet the wide
green rivers; low hills heavily tim
bered roll back toward the rich up
lands of grain field and orchard.
Here and there on a commanding
hilltop stands a graceful mansion
with high pillared cerandas and wide
Iawns-a leftover bit of C olonial
America.

JAPAN PAPER UNSURPASSED.

Japanese native-made paper is not
surpassed anywhere in this world; it
is used for the finest books, says the
East and West News. The paper
cloth of Atami, from which durable
clothing is made, indicates not only
the strength but the variety of uses
to which the native paper of Japan
can be put. All grades of news,
magazine and book papers have ad-
vanced in japan. The far East ex-
plains that the rise is due to the in
ability of the mills to supply both
domestic demand and a rapidly
growing export market. None of the
Atami paper cloth is sent out of the
country owing to the large home con-
sumption. No attempt has been
made, except in China, to develop
this purely peasant household indus
try out of the narrow rut in which ii
exists and to place it upon a modern
industrial basis.

we'll lighted but cheerful in appear
ance. The book shelves contain not
only many books of fiction and ro-
nance, but a goodly assortment of
textbooks and other reference pub

the many visitors, and the library
will be open each Tuesday and
Thursday evening from 7 to 8
o'clock. and on Saturdays from 3 to

Circulating Library, with local adj
ditions, and Miss Edith Morley
Smith acted as librarian usually.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Friend Suggests Possible Explanation
for Affection Displayed by
Squirrel for Farmer.

J. Monroe Fitch, former repre-
sentative in the lower house of the
Indiana general assembly, who is by
way of being one of the big farm
owners of Delaware county, in show
ing company of friends over his
big stock farm near Yorktown, re-
lates the Indianapolis News, called
special attention to>the fact that a
number of pet squirrels lived in the
trees near the tenant house that
were so tame they treated those
about the farm as affectionately as
though they (the squirrels) were kit
tens.
"Why there's one fox squirrel
among 'em," Fitch told his visitors,
chats so tame he runs to meet me
and climbs on my shoulder when
ever he notices me come in the gate.
If that doesn't prove that even wild
animals have affection and sense,
what does it prove, I'd like to
know"
"Well, since you've asked the ques-
ton" said one of his visitors, ever
so kindly, cit might prove that he
thinks you're a nut"

OBJECT OF ATTACK

LONDON.-Advices received from the mainland indicate that the latest attack of the Germans, between Montdidier and Noyan, has as its immediate objective the breaking of the Allied line at Compiegne. This accomplished, the Germans hoped to continue their attack on Paris.
 It is now believed that the Ger mans are trying to outflank the French line at Soissons and observers predict that much heavy fighting may be expected during the next few days, notwithstanding the fact that the drive down the Disc valley appears to have been brought to a halt.

GOMPERS TELLS WORKERS WORLD
 MUST BE FREE
Head of American Federation Says Labor Is Now Part of Fighting
 Force.

ST. PAUL.-In a report submitted to the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor to- day, President Samuel Gompers in formed the delegates that autoc- racy, militarism and irresponsible diplomacy must perish. They must be supplanted, he says, by democ- racy, justice and freedom and con- fidence between government and the people.
 He said further, that the workers who are engaged in the production of war materials are practically a part of the fighting forces and that much depnds upon their labor, which must be continuous and loyal. :
 The various section of the country are fairly we'll represented at the convention.
