By the death of n Hazel Metzger. which
occurred on Friday night last, our commu-
nifty loses an intelligent and enterprising
citizen, and the Board of County Commits
sioners is deprived of the services Of a
capable and useful member. Mr.. Metzger
was only forty-one years old and there
was reason to believe that many years of
active usefulness were in store for him.
1t is sad to record the passing out of a
young and strong man, but those who knew
him will reflect with pleasure that his life
was clean one and that as a citizen and
official he aimed at high standards.
He was the son of the late William w.
Metzgsr, of Poolesville. and his mother
was the daughter Of the late Hazel w.
Cashell, of Olney who was for some years
judge Of the Orphans Court He was
unmarried.
The funeral services took place Sunday
afternoon from the home of Mr. julius
Hall. in Poolesville, where Mr. Metzger had
been making his home. Many persons
from various parts of the county attended.
The services were conducted by Rev. C. X.
Ray. pastor of the Poolesville Methodist
Church, and burial was in Monocacy Gene
terry at Beallsville. The pallbearers were

Death OF Senator Williams.

We are erieved to learn of the death Of
State Senator ]. Dawson Williams at his
residence in Kensington on Wednesday
afternoon. His death will be shock to
a wide circle Of friends throughout the
county.
Senator Williams was thirty-six years of
age and in full vigor of health when stricken
with influenza, from which pneumonia de-
veloped. His condition was serious from
the first, but everybody hoped that his
youth and strength would enable him to
combat the disease.
He had the promise of a bright future
He had already established good practice
at the bar of Washington City and in his
native county; he had served acceptably
as member of the House of Delegates,
and year ago was elected to the Senate,
where he took leading part and exhib-
tied aptitude for public affairs. Self-reliant,
painstaking and industrious, his friends
looked forward to his rise with confidence
and his affable manners and cheerful dis
position established substantial popularity
wherever he was known.
Senator Williams is survived by his wild
ow, who was before her marriage Miss
Mollie Pesou, of New Orleans, La. and two
little daughters. whose ages are and 2
years, respectively his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Williams, and one brother. Mr..
John T. Williams.

imports of food, notably sugar, coffee and
tropical fruits, he says. and points out that
while our wheat production this year Is bet
ter than last, our production of other cereals
is less. and our resources are no greater
than last year. However" he says. it is
possible for us to give Europe its vastly
increased requirements and at the same
time have a margin over the quantity
necessary to maintain our own health and
strength"
The Food Administrator finds we shall
apparently have sufficient sugar to take
care of the present rate Of consumption
and to provide for the extra drain of the
Allies, and sufficient coffee II wastfulness
in brewing the beverage is eliminated. OF
our own products there must be reduc-
ton in consumption and waste of foodstuffs
and of meats and fats that is to say, pork,
beef, poultry, dairy products and vegetable
soil products. Stress is laid, however, upon
the fact that the Food Administration
does not wish curtailment in the use of
milk for children.
Patriotic proprietors Of public eating
places demand enforcible rules for their
own protection against the Stacker in their
business. The Federal Food Administra-
tors of the various States will enforce
these orders against those not sufficiently
patriotic to follow them voluntarily.

McAdoo Asks Governors To Urge
Every Citizen To Buy Liberty
Bonds.

Secretary McAdOo telegraphed the fol-
lowing appeal to the Governor of every
State last Saturday night:
Zone week of the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paien remains and three and half billion
dollars have yet to be raised. The Ameri-
can people can provide this money II they
are fully aroused to the imperative neces-
sity of doing so. Without the six billion
dollars required for the Fourth Liberty
Loan. the great victories of our soldiers in
France will be negatived. The home army
must not turn the victories of the field
army into defeats. The home army must
not render valueless the bloody sacrifices
of our heroes. The home army must, on
the other hand. transform the victories of
the field army into the final and mighty
blow which will forever destroy military
despotism and its menace to the liberties
of the world.
"Will you not issue a proclamation to
the people of your State appealing to them
to subscribe Immediately to the limit of
their ability to the Fourth Liberty Loan
Ask the rich and poor alike to buy liberty
bonds on the installment plan where they
cannot pay cash for them. and urge the
banks and bankers of your State to carry
purchasers of bonds on the installment
plan at the same rate of interest that the
bonds bear. namely. Ia per cent?
THE banks must help the people by
lending them money to buy liberty bonds
and the people must help the banks by
subscribing for them and paying for them
as promptly as possible. We must all
help each other. if our army is to make
certain that the great victory now in sight
is claimed"

Montgomery county begins the last half
of the Liberty Loan campaign faced with
the necessity of making the most energetic
efforts to secure the amount allotted to the
county. Less than one half of the $704,-
600 has been secured to date. Owing to
the large number of cases of Flu" in the
county. the attendance at the meetings
has been small and a number Of meetings
have been called off, therefore it is nee
essary that every worker in the campaign
should make special effort to do little
better, work little harder and secure more
subscriptions. Don't let the peace talk fool
you. 1t may be part of the German plan
to make the Loan failure If possible
If you have not subscribed, do so at once
Call up your county bank or write card
If you have only bought $50 or 500
bond, buy another one, because most every
body can save that amount in the five or
six months and the banks will carry them
that long without any cost to the pur-
chaser. The campaign ends on the 10Th
of the present month. so enter your sub
scription at once.
Very truly yours.
