remains that they are in danger Of
forming habits of dishonesty which
are likely to become permanent. Re-
member, friends. always be honest
In all undertakings. Be ambitious,

fore you speak and look before YOU
leap, for 1t is everlastingly too late
after you once have leaped. Never
give up; keep on trying, although the
way may seem hard sometimes. and
remember these lines Of a famous
man:
The heights that great men have
reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden
flight;
But they while their companions

1t is an evidential fact that failure
in the beginning could mean success
in the end, but the trouble with our
race today is that when we get to a
hill we turn back and find ourselves
worse off than at first. Have ambi-
ton to be strong; make it over the
hill no matter what the cost may he
and work like "Hades" to stay there.
The greatest fault of our people is
that they don't cooperate. There
was a man in California that had fif-
teen colored men hired and one day
a large log had to be moved and 1t
took the cooperation of all the men
to move the log. 1t was done so gent
ly that the landlord had it published,
being the first time that he had ever
seen fifteen colored people pull to-
gether, So, boys of today, let's
change this thought and show other
races what we can do. Though de-
graded by two hundred and fifty
years Of slavery, we shall rise from
the bottom to the top by the help
OF the Lord Jesus.
Now is the time, il there ever was
time, that we as a race would need
more men that will live up to their
obligations. At all times the tongue
is our ruin, so if we ever intend to
be what the Almighty would have Us
be, we will have to get to the place
where we can control our tongues
Then, as sure as we are living, we
shall have all the rights of an Amer
lean citizen.
After knowing these things, there
is piece in the greatest book that
SAYS: "If We know these things happy
are We; if We do them" Knowing
these facts we need to be men, live
up to our promises and without a
doubt success is ours.

WHY We FAIL IN

The tide of life is in the high

which impel him to think in a new
and strange way. The sanctions of
childhood which he has accepted
without question from his elders no
longer satisfy him. He begins to

CRISFIELD FACING
SERIOUS CONDITION
Appeals Made to Washington For
War Vessel to Break Ice-Oyster-
men Suffering.

Crisfield has sent out a S o S call
to the United States Navy asking that
the town be furnished at once with
naval vessel of sufficient power to
break up the ice blockade at that
port. Conditions have become al
arming.
James E. Tewes and John P Ham
by, of Crisfield, returned to Balti-
more recently, after having been to
Washington, where they enlisted the
aid Of United States Senator John
Walter Smith and Congressman Jes-
Sc Price. The officials and members
of the delegation paid visit to the
Navy Department and laid the condi-
lions before officials of that depart
ment, but were told that the Navy
Department was absolutely without
vessels and therefore it would be
impossible to comply with their re-
quest Immediately, but would glad
ly furnish an ice-breaker for their
town as soon as a vessel could be
had. Messrs. Tawes and Halby left
for Norfolk, Va, today and will ap-
peal to the naval authorities of that
port for assistance.
Crisfeld is almost entirely depen-
dent upon the oyster industry, and
this has been paralyzed, turning hun
dreds of heretofore wage-earners in
to dependents. The town has alrea-
dy established souphouse to relieve
the conditions which have been caus-
ed by this unusual weather.

Read Up on Civil War.

One of the peculiar facts concern
ing the entrance of America into the
war the stimulus given to reading and
discussion of the American Civil war
The perusal Of Civil war histories In
England has become almost mania
and more books treating of the great
conflict have been sold In England in
one year than in America during the
last ten years.
The reason is simple: England and
the allies generally want a line" on
the American as a fighting man. The
Spanish-American war failed as an
adequate criterion because we had
Spain so hopelessly Outclassed from
the beginning. But some of the great.
est battles in the history of the world
were fought in the Civil war. The per-
centage of death losses in actual bat
tie were higher than that of any other
war ever fought. The verdict seems to
be that Americans know q good deal
about the sanguinary business Of kill
ing.

Profit From Dust.

There is Il cement plant at River
side, CAL, that was formerly the source
of great annoyance to the owners of
the orange groves nearby because Of
the clouds of cement dust that settled
on the orange trees. The dust also
proved injurious to the employees of
the plant. Those facts and the result
ing lawsuits led the owners to try to
abate the nuisance by installing an ap-
paratus called a precipitator, which
precipitates the fine dust by electrical
action before it leaves the exhaust
stacks. The recovered dust particles
were found to contain potash in the
form Of crystallized salts, a product
that Is so scarce and valuable at the
present time, when no potash can
reach US from Germany, that the Riv-
erSide company now deyotes its entire
attention to recovering the potash,
and treats the cement as by-product
The sales Of potash pay the entire op-
Grating cost of the plant and reason.
able profit besides, and the cement
now produced at the rate of 5000 bar
rels day, Is so much clear gain for
future sales. There is no immediate
market for so much cement; so most
Of 1t is stored in bulk. Thus an ap-
paratus installed to safeguard the
health of the workers and to abate
nuisance has changed the whole char.

source of unexpected profit.-Youth's

Seaman Worthy Of His Uniforr

A cry for help never goes unheede6
when there Is a man Of the United
States navy standing by. No matter
wherein land, at sea, in calm OF
storm, daylight or dark-he Is quick
to respond and ready to take the
chance that makes rescue possible.
An instance of this is reported from
Newport, r. l., where the bravery OF
Robertson McGregor, fireman. third
class, attached to the naval training
school at that place, has just beer
rewarded by letter of commentator
from Secretary Daniels. 1t was night
and unusually dark when McGregol
heard the cry of help coming from the
bay. Rushing to the water, he located
the sound, and without any further
hesitation jumped overheard and
swan in the direction of the cry
There were no more cries, but, sens
ing his direction, the fireman kept or
swimming until he came across body
1t was an apprentice seaman, who had
become unconscious in his fight fol

BUGLE IN MODERN WARFARE
Something of an Analogy Between
That instrument and the Trumpets
Sounded at Jericho.

A glass bar set vibrating lengthwise
by a sound will smash to pieces II the
sound rise to a high enough key-that
Is, If the number of vibrations becomes
great enough. And the hardest metals,
such as iron and steel, will break like
glass under the rhythmic shock of oft
repeated feeble blows. For this rea-
son when regiments march across a
metal bridge they are always ordered
to break step, In order that the impact
Of their feet may not set up rhythmic
vibrations In the structure.
Many persons who have mania for
explaining in a materialistic way all
the wonders related In the Bible have
conjectured that when the walls Of
Jericho fell under the trumpet blasts
of Joshua's army these were keyed to
set up in the walls precisely the vibra-
lions that would shatter them. And
1t may be said that this explanation is
by no means confined to materialists,
for this very opinion was held also by
the old Jewish rabbis, as well as by
st. Augustine, st. Jerome and st. Am
brose. But Father Athanasius Kir-
cher S. j., in his learned treatise, "Mu-
surgia universalis" (book Ky, showed
the insufficiency of such a physical ex
PLANTATION and concluded that only a
miracle could have produced that eff
feet.
Nicolas Flannel. writing in La Nature
on the acoustics of speaking trumpets,
cites the aforementioned authors and
mentions the highly interesting fact
that a great French scientist showed
the officers of the troops that recap
tured the fort of Douaumont year
ago way to use the bugle. Until then
and ever since the Germans dug them
selves in after their defeat on the
Marine the bugles had been silent, as
they could be heard equally well in the
enemy's trenches. NJ. Flannel adds
that this scientist has since then made
great improvements in the use Of the
'bugle at the front, but military exigen
cies forbid going into details.

Save the Hens

Washington, D. c., Feb. EVERY
laying hen sold from the farm before
the first of May means a loss of
about 80 eggs to the food supply of
the Nation. These eggs are valu-
able food, manufactured largely from
insects, weeds, and grass, garbage
and waste. The eggs, therefore, are
almost wholly a net gain in human
food. Moreover, the hen is just as
good meat after she has laid these
eggs as before.
Save the hens is the message that
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture is sending broadcast thru
press notices and posters, mad thru
its county agents, especially in the
southern poultry-raising sections.

of those days with just enough chill in

scarcely a place all winter and just
must get out. Mrs. Hamilton Ross
finds herself in the same situation. and
they are not alone in their decision.
An hour later, on the main street of

How do you do, Mrs. Ross? SO de-

heard about the last minister we had
on trial? What do you think of him?
Yes, in a way I liked him, but there
was something about him I did not
like. Did you notice it, too? Yes, he
made all his gestures with his left
hand. Is he left-handed? Oh, indeed.

For my part, hope We'll not get him.

Two weeks later:
Mrs. James Jordan White boards q

good an opportunity to miss to discuss
the new minister.
