ADOPT DELIVERY PLAN
Also Comply With Boards Suggestion
Regarding The Return Of Goods.

Regarding The Return Of Goods.
Complying with the request of the
Baruch, chairman, which i'll reality is
command. the retail merchants of
Baltimore have agreed that not more
! than one delivery day be made over
any one route. that special service
be eliminated and that the privileg~.
of returning merchandise be restric-
ted to three days. The retail mer-
chants, are helping to win the war,
says the War Industries Board, but
they must do more. They must re-
lease 100000 men at least that the
Board believes are needlessly employ
ed in delivery service throughout the
United States.
AS a result of the Boards request
the following regulations have been
adopted by the retail stores, effec-
tive on August LIST:
1. Any article of merchandise
which for some good reason is to be
returned to a store for credit or ex-
change must be returned within three
days from the date of delivery, ac-
companied by sales check. This ap-
plies to all merchandise delivered
within 5 miles of Baltimore. Beyond
Is miles goods must be reshipped
within three days from date of re-
ceipt.
Where goods are to be returned by
the store delivery, request for call
must be made by the customer not
later than the second day from date
of delivery, so that the merchandise
will not be in the customers posses
sion more than three days.

quilts, mattresses, combs, hair
brushes, tooth brushes, hair goods,

GRANGE HAS PATRIOTIC
MEETING THURSDAY
Pomona Grange Meeting at Shiloh
Last Thursday Was Largely Atten-
ded-Fa,rners Pledge Their Aid TO
Win The War.

The annual meeting of the Pomo-
ma Grange, composed of the Oranges
from Cambridge, East New Market,
Hurlock, Vienna, fredericksburg and
Rhodesdale, was held last Thursday
afternoon at Shiloh, and was largely
attended.
At the business meeting held in
the morning it was decided to de-
vote the exhibits at the Annual
Grange Exhibition to Red Cross pur-
poses, the idea being to sell the ex
hibits of each Grange separately and
let the proceeds for each unit go
to that particular unit, for instance,
the exhibit of Cambridge Grange
will go to the Cambridge unit; that
of fredericksburg, to fredericksburg,
that of Hurlock to Hurlock, etc.
1t was also decided to ask the
merchants to contribute as usual for
prizes, and then, instead of the in
dividuals accepting the prizes, they
will be sold for the credit of the
Grange to which the winning mem
bers belong.
The usual dinner was held, but for
patriotic reasons the ladies who had
charge of the preparations decided
that no desert should be served.
There was a new "hoss" in the race
at the table, a bachelor farmer, who
lives near town, and it is said that
he gave the dry goods merchant far
,mer race for the first place, the
newspaper men, coal dealers and law
yers being absent
At the afternoon session the prin-
cipal address was delivered by His
Excellency, Fon. Emerson c. Har-
rington, Governor of the State. Other
addresses were made by Prof. Bonn
berger, of the State College of Agri-
culture, and Mr. Hillegrist, of the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ington.
The musical part of the program
was greatly enjoyed, among the mum
bers being Maryland, My Maryland"
by Mrs. John f. Croft; The Mar
seillaise," by Mrs. A. E. Zintl; Mrs.
J. Louis Rid, OF Linkwood, greatly
delighted the audience with a solo,
when Pershing Crossed the Rhine.
Mrs. Croft also sang the following
song composed by Mrs. Jas. NJ Rob-
ertson, of this city, the words being
sung to the tune of The Battle Cry
of The Republic
Go tell the world America has risen
in this hour
To put down the King of Evil that
would all the world devour,
She is sending forces over to subdue
the tyrant's power
Our flag is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
Glory, glory, halle1ujah!
Our flag is marching on
They are going by the thousand in
the thickest of the fray,
Needing not the foe that threatens
nor the dangers by the way;
No fleets can stop their progress and
no armies bid them stay
Our flag is marching on.

Natural Liberty.

The natural liberty Of man, by en-
terlng into society, is abridged or re-
strained, so far only as is necessary
for the great end of society, the best
good of the whole. In the state of ma
ture every man is, under God judge
and sole judge of his own rights and
of the Injuries done him. BY entering
into society he agrees to an arbiter or
Indifferent judge between him and his
neighbors; but he no more renounces
his original right than by taking q
cause out Of the ordinary course Of
law. and leaving the decision to ref
erees or Indifferent arbitrators In the
last case he must pay the referees for
time and trouble. He should also be
willing to pay his just quota for the
support of government. the law and

All Circus Rings Same Size.

Railway tickets are the same size
all over Britain and the continent and
America-viz., two and one-quarter
inches-and have been so for the last
so years. This surely indicates
world wide tendency to standardize.
Every builders ladder Is built to
scale, and the fireman's ladder is on
the scale of the seaman's run up the
ratlines, not the bricklayer's trudge up
the wooden rungs. But perhaps the
greatest triumph of standardizing Is
that OF the circus. London Tit-Bits
says: There are big and little circuses
in the world, but the ring is always
Of the same diameter, for the bare
back rider has discovered the exact
angle at which he can square the cir
Gle. No matter whether ii be ring
cut in the turf or luxuriously ap-
pointed theater, the circus ring never
varies a foot.

WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS
SoIace Was Found in the Gospel
Brought to Them by Missionaries
or Taught by Masters

The negro sought channel for
artistic solace, into which he could
throw the symbolism Of his racial long
ing. He found 1t in the religion
brought to him by missionaries or
taught him by his masters. Here
he was free to dream his dreams
and create his visions of future happi-
ness, for no master could punish him
for praisng God. Thus he found re-
ligion," and in religion he found no
mood of his simple soul unnourished.
1t is, then. not so hard to under
stand why the negro's folksong u.s. in
it's superficial form, so predominantly
religious. The "spirituals" Of the camp
meeting show a quite unecclesiastical
variety of style and mood, variety,
in fact, co-extensive with the emotion
al range Of simple peasant life. They
include lively dances, bitter lameDts,
paeans of Joy and majestic, organiike
anthems. In the Bible stories which
are retold in ballad form In some OF
the spirituals the negro found express
sion for his buoyant, genial humor.
Nearly all the familiar moods of folk
song, from the gayest to the most pro-
foundry tragic, are to be found under
the religious veil which permitted the
slave to live his own varied emotional
life without interference from his mas
ter.-New Republic.

Stenographer on Limited

One of the most difficult steno-

that of stenographer on the limited
trains between New York and Chi

work:
You have to take dictation in any
old wagon your sleeve, sitting down,
standing up. bending over to hear the
words distinctly; in any position and
on any kind OF paper and Mt any and
all times. The stuff you take down
covers about every range of human en-
deavor and human thought. I've taken
dictation from men in pretty nearly
every profession I ever heard of-from
surgeons to shoemakers. I've written

athletic activity among the army train

more real and widespread athletic ac-

from which they were broken OF as
necessity required.
Emerson, so the story goes, used to
place a fresh card of matches on
table by his bedside every night, to-

jot down at once any valuable thought
that came into his mind during the
night watches.
One night he wakened with par

himself at once Of his canny prepara-
tons for such emergencies. Reaching
out, he grasped his card Of matches,
broke of the outer one and struck 1t

the next and the next, but with the
same result.

to grow a little annoyed. Sitting up
In bed, with grim determination he
broke of one match after another
until the card was gone. Not one gave
the faintest spark.
BY that time the idea was gone, too,
and so his only recourse was to lay
himself down again to ponder over q
