Chairman of the Council of Defense

twenty who were willing to sign up
to organize the company. The COM
mittee wishes to extend, through

want the citizens of Cambridge to
consider this matter more seriously.
and to see if we cannot get suff1cl-
ent support to get the proper number

Clean Furnaces and Stoves

The United States Fuel Admins
tration urges an immediate cleanup
of furnaces and stoves.
Technical men say that one one
hundredth inch of SCOT has the same
resisting power to heat that ten in
ches of iron have. Soot-coverings on
the interior of stoves and furnaces
mean, therefore, waste of fuel and
waste of money.
Every coal purchaser Will find it
to his interest to clean stoves and
furnaces. At the same time his
work will be patriotic service; he
will be saving fuel for war indus
tries and war transportation.
The Fuel Administration urges al
so that cellar furnace pipes be ex-
amined for leaks. The piping should
be closely connected so that no heat
may escape through breaks or
cracks.

Fail To Form
Home Guard Company

The meeting which was held at
the New Armory last night, for the
purpose of forming a Home Guard
Company for Cambridge, to be en-
tered in the Second Maryland Infan-
try. opened with a large crowd pres
ent, but when the time came for the
men to sign up, only about one half
the number required responded.
These men were told 10 report back
at the Armory at ten-thirty. and
were sent out Oh the streets, each
man to find another man to bring
back with him. When the recount
was taken at ten-thirty, it was found
that five men of the small number
were lost. One or two of these came
struggling in later, however, but
without the extra man.
Capt. Chas r. Waldecker, who
was in charge of forming the COM
pany, and First Lieut.. M. w. Crom-
well, agreed to do all in their power
to hold off for a few days longer,
and give the men of Cambridge a
chance to sign up. Messrs. V. Calvin
Trice and Levi B. Phillips agreed to
do all they could toward securing
sufficient number of men for orga-
nization. Mr. Trice and Mr.. Phillips
have arranged for another meeting
at the Armory tonight, at 8 o'clock,
sharp, and hope to have enough men
present to send Cambridge over the
top" in forming this company, and
not have our town fall behind Sails
bury, Hagerstown and the other
cities of this State.

Heaping Goals Of Fire

Shipyards throughout the country
are to be engaged in a contest, in
which production on a basis giving
every yard, big, little, modern and
old-fashioned, an equal chance. Hon
or will go to the understanding
else. There will be no financial re-
ward, save that which accumulates
from extra performance.
The contest was decided upon only
after long and careful consideration
on the part of men who are wise and
experienced, men who know the psy-
chology of the shipyard workers. The
question was whether it was just to
ask grown men to enter into a game,
however serious its import or how
ever good its purpose. Were Ameri-
can toilers to be expected to make
this great shipbuilding task a vast
game? Was It fair to the man in
the yards?
The answer was obvious. No man
w no uOeS HUI 1--we pay 10, a. hS"i I,
an American. All of us, even the
most cynical and practical, recognize
the appeal of contest. Tell man
that you can beat him at his own
game and he Will put you to the test
then and there. So, when "a vast
national game of production is pro-
posed, with the rules fair tC all, the
best men to win, there comes re
Spouse that is gratifying. Every
yard in America is keen for the sport
as evidenced by frank expressions OF
cordial approval.
But the sporting spirit Is not all.
These men in the shipyards recog-
niZe that anything to speed up ship
building means more than a mere
game 1t means new weapons of
war,more soldiers in France, steady,
amending stream of munitions and
supplies. 1t means d bridge of ships

sianisn.
the American people, but the whole
world is the grandstand.
Let the game go on. And may
glory descend upon the winners

Lloyd Guards Will Parade
On The Fourth of Jnly

During the administration of Gov
ernor Lloyd, in 1886, local military
| company was organized in Cam
! bridge and named in compliment OF
| the Governor, the Lloyd Guards, the
| late Col James Wallace being the
! first captain of the company, and the
| late Robert G. Henry, and James l..
| Woolford, and the late Levin w.
Bothum, being his successors. The
| company had quite an eyentful ca
reer and numbered in its original
membership some of the most prom
! inent men of the community, quite
number of whom still survive and
are residents of the town of Cam
! bridge. The company was finally
disbanded as an independent COM
pany and was merged into the Third
Battalion as Company c..
Shortly after it's organization, the
company was presented with very
| handsome silk flag by General Gin
| ION. z. Paine and General Robert
! Ober, officers on the staff of Cover
/ nor Lloyd, the presentation being
made in Annapolis on the occasion
of the unwilling of the Dekalb sta
! tue. The late Rev. James l.. Bryan
i made the speech of acceptance on the
part of the company. This banner
was taken by the company on all of
| its expeditions and was unfurled at
Headquarters On all of its encamp-
ments, but it suddenly disappeared
from the company's possession, and
its whereabouts, for nearly twenty
years, had been unknown, although
diligent search was made for it by
the various members of the old or
ganization.
About two months ago the flag
was found by Miss Nettie Roeser, in
the third story room of her resi-
dence on Race street. 1t seems that
the banner was placed there by DR..
S. C. DeKraft, who was a member OF
the company, and later became sur
/
1t has remained there in the dust and
quiet of this garnet since 1898, until
lit was accidentally discovered by
Miss Roeser as above stated. Upon
hearing of the discovery, Mir. j. Ben
jamin Brown, a former member of
the company, who afterwards be
came a quartermaster in the Third
battalion, with The rank of Captain,
sought out the flag, and was given
icustody of it By Miss Roeser, and
has deposited it in a safe place in
the New Armory on Gay street.
This banner will be unfurled 10
the public for the first time in a
lquarter of d century i'll the ceiebra-
ton. in Cambridge, on the Fourth Of
July, and all of the surviving mem
bers of the old organization of the
Lloyd Guards will follow after it on
foot The company's organization
will be headed, if his health will per-
nit, by Ex-Governor Lloyd, in an au-

of the various activities for the
Fourth of July are indeed making
elaborate preparations. They intend
making this day a day to DE remem-
bered by the people OF this COM
munity for sometime to come They
are doing all in their power towards
showing the people of our country
that the people of Cambridge and
Dorchester are firmly in back OF an.
movement made by President VIII
son, and are fully determined to
stand by him in keeping the Hun on
the other side or the ocean and say
ing our women and children from
the indignities suffered by the wo-
men and children of France and
Belgium.
The plans for making this a day
of festivity have been drawn up by
a committee composed of Judge W.
Laird Henry, Mayor Earle W. Orem.
Messrs. Martin Smith, Vernon S.
Bradley and P. Watson Webb, and
these gentlemen have indeed done
what was expected of them.
There will be baseball games in
the morning and afternoon, and these
promise to give entertainment to the
number of fans in the county. These
games have been secured by Mr.. V.
S. Bradley, and are to be played
with a team which is one of the
strongest in Baltimore city.
There will also be horse racing in
the afternoon, to hold the attention
of lovers of this sport. The races, ar
ranged by Dr. F. F. Hicks. promise
to be the best seen in Cambridge fol-
sometime.
The grand part of the day starts
at p. M, however, when a great
parade is to be held. Persons from
all parts of the county are expected
to take part in this, and all persons
having automobiles are expected te

CORROBORATION
Of Interest To Norwich Readers

For months Norwich citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Nor wieh residents. Would these proni- nent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following state ment should carry conviction to the
 mind of every Norwich reader.
 Daniel J. Brown proprietor repair shop, Summer Street. says: T bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Sevin & Sons Drug Store and they did such
 good work when 1 needed them that l am glad to recommend them. Doan's regulated and strengthened my kid neys. relieving me of all the ailments caused by kidney disorder" . The above statement was given August 2s. 1908, and on May IS, 1916, MT.
