Farmers Must Plow Fire Guards.

 Farmers who believe it is optional with them whether they blow guards to safeguard their crops from destruc. ton by fire from sparks of engines are iaboring under misapprehension. The government has proclaimed 1t to but a matter of necessity that these guards be plowed and that all farmers see that it is done This is not only Tor the purpose of saving food much needed by the Nation and by the allies but also to save the government the expense of paying claims for damage, sustained thru destruction by rail, roads.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
The Supreme Need orthe Church.

In our willingness to eXault the
savlourship of Christ, we are apt to
underate His kingship. Kingship I'M
plies authority, His power must be
recognized; His will submitted to; His
law must be obeyed, and the individual
or state that ignores it, will be called
TO answer at the bar of His supreme
authority and justice. The state is
the organization of the life of man in
unity with the life of God; its concern
is with human beings" The social
problems that agitate the public mind
today is the call of the state to become
Christians in fact as we'll as in name.
She can only save herself by believing
in the Lord Christ as the supreme au-
thority in law, politics and society and
obeying Him as supreme ruler of the
commonwealth. What, but the recog-
nized power of Christ and allegiance to
Him can prevent the evils that threaten
US, or ward off the perils.
The state ows something to its citi-
zens. She must protect her interests
and future by securing the best in
terest of her subjects. What she is to
be in the future depends on the char
acter of her citizens.
What the future citizenship of the
state shall be depends on the present
generation, especially the younger ele-
ment Of it. What these shall be in
their moral, social and political influence
depends on the training they shall re-
evive. II. is this training to be left

Patriotic Activities In Maryland
Schools.

State Superintendent OF Schools, M.
Bates Stephens, reports that in MANY
ways the war spirit is being seized upon
in Maryland High Schools and trans
formed into training in sacrifice and
citizenship worthy of mention. Liberty
Bonds of 10th issues. ranging from
$780, to $4,000 in various schools,
have been bought by the pupils and
presented to their school libraries, and
are being paid for by the pupils them
selves. At Chestertown High School
girls are working afternoons and Satur-
days as maids, and the boys have ad-
vertised themselves as ready to under
take any fort of work, in town or on
the farms. and all earnings are applied
to the school bonds At Hyattsville,
the same general plan is being followed;
as also at Gainesville, Thurmont and
Towson. In Frederick, the Y. M. c. A.
campaign was materially assisted by
the high school pupils, working after
school hours and on Saturdays; the
pupils of Smlthsburg High School are
supporting a French war orphan, and
comfort kits and Christmas packages
for soldiers were prepared in several
schools. The Alumni Associations have,
at the request and in the name of their
several schools, rendered substantial
aid in patriotic work al some schools.
Service flags, Wit from two to thirty
or more stars, furnished by the pupils,
are teaching their lofty lesson of patrl-
otism through sacrifice to every passer-
by; and in more than half the schools
the local Red Cross Units have enrolled
the pupils as active assistants.
These activities are being carried in
addition to the regular work of the
schools; and it is the general testimony
of the teachers that the participation
IN the war activities has not only at
forded the best kind of training for
citizenship but has produced better
work in the regular school studies.
In statement to the press made in
October. the State Superintendent of
Schools, in commenting upon the short
age of teachers caused by the large
number of well-paying business po-
sitions open to them, said that six prin-
clpals of approved high schools had en-
tered military service and as many
more had resigned to take up other
work and that it was especially hard
to find suitable candidates for the va
cant positions. Notwithstanding the
fact that these losses both of men and
women teachers from the high schools
have now more than doubled, and that
the schools now have many vacancies
in positions held by teachers of the reg
ular academic subjects, the Approved
High Schools are as whole striving to
meet the unusual stress, both bv
engendering and fostering the spirit of
Americanism, and by training their
pupils through intelligence and efficl-
ency for leadership in the next decade
which will need these qualities more
sorely than any generation of Ameri-
cans has yet needed them.

Miss Lillian Cutter, primary teacher
in the Bittinger school, who was order
ed to take charge of the primary de-
partment of the Bloomington school,
and for that purpose went down to
Bloomington last week, returned the
following day and resumed her work
here, much to the delight Of her pupils.
Miss Cutter reports not having found
conditions at Bloomington suited to
her taste, hence her return.
The annual meeting of the Mutual
Telephone Co., which was to have been
held on last Saturday, has been post
poned until Saturday, January 18th.
The weather continues intensely cold,
and is marked by so much wind and
occasional snow falls that the roads are
constantly blockaded and not much
hauling can be done.
James Stark spent part of last week
on business in Oakland.
The Bittinger mail carrier was unable
to make his trip over his route last
Saturday. that being the only failure of
the winter.
The cold weather has occasioned such
a d mand for coal that the local mines
are unable to supply the needs.

Col. Archer Anderson, Prominent in
War and in Peace, Dead.

To the Editor of the Republican.
On Friday evening January 4th 1918,
Colonel Archer Anderson died at his
residence in Richmond Virginia, after a
short illness superinduced by advanced
age, in the eightieth year of his life
While many years have interviewed with
more than the usual changes in nearly
three generations. the name of this
gentleman should not be that of a
stranger in Garrett as, for a time, he
lived with the family of his parents in
Swanton just prior to the memorable
national clash between the States in the
early part of the year 1861. Genl.
Joseph R. Anderson, father of the son

the point where the Meadow Mountain
is crossed by the National Pike. For
