SELBY MAKES HIT
Garrett COuntian Made Fight to
Have Bible Read In Schools.

One of the hottest fights of the pres
ent legislative session was made over
the compulsory reading of the Bible in
the public schools.
For long time there has been a
growing sentiment in this and other
states that this should be done. Much
| objection was encountered and the bill
was emasculated by eliminating a large
section Of the State from the operation
Of the law. One of the wettest men,
bers Of the house and one who would
scarcely be pointed out as a person fit
to guide the morals of children thought
that there was but two places where
the sacred book should be read-the
home and the pulpit. He felt that it
was unsafe to read the Bible anywhere
else. The question was raised that it
would be unfair to ask a teacher to
read the Bible when he was not in SYM
pathy with it.
This brought Mr.. Selby, of Garrett
county, to his feet and in an impassion-
ed, well delivered speech he answered
every attack that had been made by
those opposed to the bill. Mr.. Selby
started his speech by saying that he
had had years of experience as a school
teacher and that he felt that every
morning the Bible should be read
at the opening of the school, He show
ed how either the Old or New Testa-
ment could be read and made the point
strong that certainly reading a few
verses of the Bible would show a mark
ed respect for the Holy Book He also
made telling point that the school
teacher of Maryland who could not be
trusted to read the Bible in the schools
was not fit person to teach and the
sooner the school system was cleared
of such teachers the better off would De
the schools of the state
Mr.. Selby's speech was one of the
best that has been delivered during the
session and it carried convictions TO the
hearts of everyone who heard it,
Mr. Weimer and Mr.. White also
voted for reading the Bible IN the
schools.
Garrett county has reason to feel
proud of its representatives. The peo-
people of the State know a county by
the men who represent it and certainly
the reputation of Garrett. based on
these lines, is second to none in the
State.

WHO is THE EMPLoYER2

Manufacturers, contractors or those
thing that the market demands are al
most invariably considered the employ
ers. This is erroneous; they are sim
ply the directors of the industry and
are themselves employees of those who
desire the product.
These directors engage the services
Of other employees-manual workers,
etc-in behalf Of the purchasers of
the product. The purchasers are,
therefore, the real employers. The di-
rectors and the workers are actually
fellow caftsmen engaged in a common
service.-Industrial Conservation, New

SAVE SUGAR.

When the sun begins to shine,
Tap a tree;
Don't sit idly by and whine,
Tap a tree;
Get the spiles and buckets out,
Clean the kettle with a shout,
Put old Sugarcane to rout,
Tap a tree.
There is work for all to do,
Tap a tree;
Start the spring time out anew,
Tap a tree;
Laugh at yonder sugar line
Underneath the grocer's sign.
If that plight you would decline,
Tap a tree.

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. 'It's toasted" was the "slo-
gan" that made a great success Of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than year.
Now the American Tobacco CO. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE
