way
To Maryland goes the credit of es-
tablishing the first college of dental
surgery in the world, the first medi-
cal society in the United States and
the first lodge of Odd Fellows.
In Baltimore were used the first
Hoe presses in the United States and
the first Linotype machine.
This State also has the distinction
of building the first monument to the
first President, the first Methodist
church in America, the first silk-rib-
bon mill and the first two cruisers of
the present navy.
Here was established the first gas
light company in America and the first
water company. the first merchants
exchange. and here were adopted the
first metal pans used in the United
States. The first theatre was erected
in Maryland at Annapolis.
The iron industry. in which Mary
land holds high rank, began here in
1919 and has continued uninterrupted
ly ever since, until in iron and steel
construction the State has become ia
nous: also it is noted for its ship
building
The quarries of Maryland have from
earliest times furnished building stone
of superior quality. marble, granite
and sandstone being here in abund-
ance. In fact. some of~the oldest and
most noted buildings in the country
are constructed of stone obtained from
Maryland quarries. The monoliths in
front of the Capitol at Washington are
an example.

TWO FLAGS FLY
IN HONOR OF DAY
Maryland Flag Beneath That Of
Old Glory On State House
Dome.

It's a long long time since the dear
old Maryland flag, the most beautiful
of all State flags, fioated to the breeze
from the dome of the State House, but
today, Maryland Day, in honor of the
States 2S4th anniversary, the Mary
land flag with it's orange and black
was displayed beneath the United
States flag, and was admired by all
who looked skyward.
Before the war" it was customary
to fly the Maryland flag from the
State House dome during the entire
session Of the Legislature, and when
the Governor was in his Office at the
Executive Department, but since the
war Old Glory has the precedence
over all and daily floats to the breeze
from the State House dome.

IBy David cory.l

Now / suppose you have been wor-
ried to death about the little Fresh
WateI-Crab who got caught in the net,
as mentioned in the story before this.
And You may be sure he was worried,
too, for he didn't know how soon the
Miller's Boy might come along and find
him. So he tugged and pulled. but his
big claw wouldn't let go. Wasn't that
funny? I guess the little crab was SO
excited he didn't know how to open 1t.
Well, pretty soon Billy Bunny hoped
back from the Old Mill Pond to find out
what had become Of the little crab. And
as soon as he saw him fast in the net,
he set out for the Farm Yard to get
Henry Jenny to lend him her scissors.
"rll come with you." said the kind
hearted little hen. and she put her new
spring bonnet on, her bright red comb
and ran down to the Babbling Brook.
And then she opened her little work bag
and took out scissors and in less time
than 1 can take to tell 1t. she cut the
fish net all around the little crabs
claws and then he was free. But, oh
dear me. There was big hole in the
net.
Now I'll take my needle and thread
and sew it together" said the little
hen, but Billy Bunny said. mo. let it
alone. The little fishes now can swim
right thru it, and the Millers Boy won't
be able To take them home to fry for
breakfast"

KEEP MEMORIAL DAY FirrINGLY.

If ever the American people are tc
observe Memorial day in the solemn
and patriotic manner which BELTS the
holiday that Of 1918 offers the oppor.
tunity and the occasion.
This year Of all the years Memorial
Day should not be given over to sports
and pleasures, The day should be OBJ
served. not celebrated. 1t should NEE,
general observance. The sacredness
OF its significance should be manifest
1t should be manifested by all Amer.
leans of all classes and distintions by a
general attendance upon it's ceremonies
and general patriotic recognition of the
day and its memories. With the blood
of American soldiers still red on the
hattlefelds and the tears of bereaved
mothers undried on their cheeks Mem
orial Day Of this year takes on an added
sacredness and demands a true observ.
ance from the American people. The
Shadow that rests on the few homes in
Iowa which mourn sons threatens every
community and thousands of homes in
Iowa and looms above the wide con
tinent which has sent two million men
to war and is ready to call one TWEEN
tieth Of its population into the service.
Let US all meet together on this dec
Grafton day to honor the memories Of
those who served their country well
and pledge ourselves to those who have
received the trust from the enfeebled
hands Of those who carried it from Lex
iDgton to Santiago. First let US begin
the day thoughtfully, pay our vows in
the temple of patriotism and realize our
obligations to those who have passed
and our responsibilities to those who
maintain liberty upon the earth. Then
and thereafter will be time to relax
and seek recreation if we choose
But this Memorial Day should not
be made a public gala day. If there are
recreauons they should not be made
celebrations. For this is fateful day
IN this year of our Lord 1918.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

And then the little Fresh Water Crab
swan down to the Old Mill Pond, where
there wasn't any net to catch him. and
told Uncle Bullfrog all about his mar
row escape.
And after that the little rabbit
hoped down to the postoffice in Rab-
bitville to see If there was a letter for
him. And when he got there he found
his dear Uncle Lucky, Mr.. Lucky Left
hindfoot. the old gentleman rabbit, you
know.
But there wasn't any letter for Billy
Bunny. but there was one for Uncle
Lucky. and 1t was from Uncle Sans
Head Gardener. And the envelope was
big and fat and full Of seeds. There
were carrot seeds, and lettuce seeds,
and watermelon seeds, and every kind
of a seed you could think Of.
Hop into the Luckymobile." said the
old gentleman rabbit, and we'll go back
to my house. for want to start my
garden right away"
So of they went, and on the way they
stopped to get the old Red Rooster to
scratch up the earth for: them so they
could plant the seeds.
Well. he was at home all right, sit
ting on his front doorstep smoking
corn cob pipe and growing every once
in while just to make! the .neighboring
ROSTERS jealous, for he could crow
louder than any rooster in Chicken
town. And the next time you shall
hear what happened after that.

Former Governor Clarke is to leave
Already the hint is out that the ex-
governor has an eye on the senatorship
The new ruling is likely to hit pro-
fessional sports hard. Why not? Are
professional sports essential to indus
tries? And who so fit for army life as
the professional athlete? And why
shouldn't he produce or fight?
1t looks as tho congress were to stay
In the trenches. Well. why shouldn't
congress stay on the job while the job
needs it? Everybody else is working.
Seems like the officers of the Iowa
national guardsmen ought to be as fit

explained to him that both common
wealths are in this war on the side OF

should be of a character to satisfy if
not convince him.

THEN AND NOW.

Webster City Freeman-Journal]
In years agone one Of the favorite
subjects for denuncation on the part
of democratic spellbinders was the
''bloated bondholder.' In the mind OF
the average democratic speaker OF
thirty and forty years ago the man
who held government bond was the
limit of unrighteousness, and there
was no restraint in lambasting him.
Yet the large majority of men who
held bonds bought them when the
government was in need Of money
and If they had not bought, President
Lincoln would have had a far mora
serious problem in putting down the
rebellion. Men are now investing in
bonds literally, many Of them buy
ing the government securities because
they believe it a duty. 1t is more ut a
credit than a disgrace to hold United
states bonds today yet it is not go
very long ago in the history Of the ma
ton that one of the great political
parties undertook TO make IL a dis
grace to possess government
security bearing reasonable rate OF
interest.

TWO POUNDS OF MEAT.

Herbert Hoover makes appeal to the
American people to limit themselves
to two pounds of meat per week. He
explains that we are eating three
pounds and a half apiece now.
That's half pound a day for every
American at home. It's more meat
than we need. Some of us don't eat
half that amount. So some cannfbais
must be grabbing off and gobbling
from seven and one half to ten pounds
of meat weekly.
Mr.. Hoovers appeal is to those who
are overeating meat. How far it will
get with them is problematical; for
the man who eats a pound and a half
of meat every day when he knows or
ought to know that the allied countries
are subsiting on less than a pound
and half is likely to be proof against
appeal. 1t is hard to hold a glutton
away from his gorge.
1t isn't a question, yet, of going
without e.! that is good FOR US in food.
Heaven knows that we feed well. Our
allowance Of -four is more than we
need. Two pounds of meat ought to be
enough for almost any of US. Of course
those at the hardest labor need more
than some of US who do light labor or
are In sedentary occupations but an
average of two pounds a week is
enough and plenty.
Let up on It. Instead Of ordering a
thick steak try fish or some other food
now and then. Don't be a gobbler.

GLOOMY AND pEsslMIsTlc Mr.. SHAW.

EX- Governor Shaw in his speech at
mistic picture of conditions in the war.
AS a speech to attract attention and
secure headlines it struck the spot. but
as a correct statement of the outlook
it is in disa greement with the conclu-
sions and observations of men who may
be far more capable of judging the
prospects of the war ahead than Mr..
Shaw. Mr.. Shaw's outlook seems to
include the capture of the channel ports
by Germany with the consequent
crushing of France and isolation of
Great Britain into a desperate defense
war with Germany dug in and holding
out indefinitely. The ex-governor was
gloomy as a thunder cloud.
But why the excess of gloom? What
causes are directly in evidence to JUS
tify an outlook so pessimstic? Six
months ago it might have had more
or less justification in the delay and
lack of coordination both in America
and abroad. But now, when the great
drive which Germany expected would
nut her in possession of the channel
potts or Paris has been stopped in it's
ira cks and disorganized sufficiently to
make a practically complete reorgan-
izaton of the central armies necessary
to it's continuation; when that delay Is
giving the allies time to prepare fully
Cor the coming assault which can
scarcely be better planned and organ
lied than the one that shattered itself
against the British armies; when
America is getting troops into Europe
at the rate Of 10000 day; when the
in close harmony and under central
command; when Russia Is making
more and more trouble for Germany
and Austria is rent with internal dis
sef.sion and demands for peace; when
food and materials Of war of all kinds
are increasingly and embarrassingly
scarce in Germany and must grow in
creasingly scarcer; when the deter
animation of the American people has
set and hardened into a single purpose,
to make war until Prussianism is
crushed and helpless; when the con-
fidencc Of all the allied nations is in
ultimate defeat for Germany and the
morale of the allies strengthens as that
OF Germany weakens; when we have
millions of men and billions of money
as yet unc;lled for and untouched and
the will to spend them for victory, the
comparison Of the present with Valley
Forge seems pessimistic and dyspeptic
