Chevy Chase Items.

Notwithstanding the down-pour of rain
last Saturday evening, the Chevy Chase
Library was filed with residents of the
village and vicinity to get a glimpse Of
and hear the speech of Emmerson C. Har-
rington, Governor of Maryland. made for
the Chevy Chase Branch of the Montgom-
cry County Chapter of the American Red
Cross. Mrs. Harrington divided the honors
with her distinguished husband and looked
most charming in a gown of black satin
trimmed in old point lace.
Governor Harrington, in his address. said
that Maryland had gone over its quota in
the first two liberty loans, and would do
even better in the third loan just being
launched, and, if necessary for the win
ming of the war would be found ready to
subscribe to the fourth, fifth. sixth and as
many more as was necessary to wipe out
Kaiserism and barbarism. He spoke also
in an amusing way of how the Governor
of Maryland was blamed with everything
within the State, the war included, and
told pleasing incident Of a friend Of
his who was taking tea with him
sometime ago, and the lady said that
when the law was passed putting the
clocks up one hour, she had spoken to her
servant, an old colored woman, and told
her of the law and that she would have
to report to her work one hour earlier, and
the old negro said. well. for the Lords
sake, what's Governor Harrington going to
do next"
Prior to the Governors address, Mr.. f.
d. Hathaway, a member Of the Chevy
Chase Branch, made a strong appeal for
funds to carry on the Surgical Dressing
Work Room which has been established
in the Chevy Chase, Maryland, public school
building, by the Chevy Chase Branch, and
the several hundred present subscribed to
$2,575 in less than a half hour.
The chairman Of the branch, Mrs. Jesse
W. Nicholson, opened the meeting, stating
that she had asked the branch to accept
her resignation as chairman on account of
her increasing duties to her young family,
and that the resignation had been ac-
cepted. and Mrs. William Lowe Hillyer had
been elected to fill out Mrs. Nicholson's
unexpired term.
Mrs. Ryan Devereux had also resigned
as chairman Of the membership committee
and Mrs. Willard West was elected to fill
out Mrs. Devereux's unexpired term.
Mrs. Nicholson was elected chairman of
the press committee.
1t was announced that Mrs. Leonard
Horner, chairman of the Surgical Dressing
Work Room, would meet next Tuesday
morning to do surgical dressings, and that
from now On there would be two days.
Tuesdays and Fridays. instead Of one day
devoted to making surgical dressings.
Mrs. Nicholson then introduced State Sena-
tor J. Dawson Williams. who made. as
usual. very pleasing address and pre-
sided during the evening.

Farm Demonstration Notes.

Next week the second hog cholera cam
paign opens In the county. The lectures
at these meetings will be illustrated by
lantern slides. The weeks schedule is as
follows Germantown High School Tues
day evening" April 80. at $50: Potomac
High School Wednesday evening, May /,
at 8; Colesville W. C. T. u. Hall Thursday
evening, May 2, at 8. A determined effort
will be made this year to keep down the
losses from hog cholera. Let all boost.
While the ed-corn-testing campaign
will result in only 100 per cent. Of ears
being planted on considerably over one
hundred farms, many fields in the county
will be planted with seed of low vitality
The weak germ is often more deceiving
than the dead one. 1t will grow. but the
results Of its growth are frequently dis
appointing. On account Of its low vitality
seed corn should be given the best possible
opportunity after it Is put into the ground
While nothing can be done to remedy low
vitality, yet there are a few points at
which little extra care may help to Sc
cure better crop. There should be a lit
tie better seed bed than usual. The loss
Of moisture. so necessary to the corn crop.
should be kept down by narrowing imme-
diately after the pillow, before the funow
slice dries out The planting should not
be done by the calendar, but when the
season has advanced sufficiently to pro-
vide warm soil. A vigorous germ may
withstand an early planting which would
be disastrous to the weak germ. A little
extra thought and care along these lines

Death or MiIlard c. Fisher.

Willard C. Fisher died at his residence
in this town on Tuesday morning last, Of
general debility, in the 10th year of his
age. In his death the public loses good
man. In industry and in morals he was
an exemplary individual. Farming was
his chosen business, which he followed
successfully to time not long ago when
physical weakness compelled him to retire.
He left his farm, near Potomac, and pur-
chased a home here about year ago.
He reared large family of boys and girls,
twelve in number He taught them all to
work, to economize and the necessity OF
acquiring an education, the opportunity to
receive which he conveniently afforded
them. The fruit of that instruction today
is the prosperity all living are enjoying by
their labor and industry. He was an affec-
tomato husband and father, and possessed
of a social spirit, of integrity and of fine
executive ability. These characteristics,
which marked his life. commanded the
respect of all his neighbors and acquain-
tances. His wife, who was Miss Mary
Elizabeth Boswell, daughter of the late
Franklin Boswell, of this county. and ten
children survive him. Funeral services
were held in st. Mary's Church, Rockville,
at 10 O'Clock Thursday morning and his
remains were inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry near Rockville

In MemOrinm.

In sad but loving remembrance OF our
dear daughter. Nora " Grimes. who de.
parted this life one year ago, April 10
1917.
One mournful year has passed away.
! think as the teardrops start,
But the memory Of my dear daughter
Still is fresh within my heart.
Oh, the sadness Of that dreary night,
AS we stood around her bed,
Tin death stole softly upon her,
And knew her soul had fled.
Oh. the way seems often so weary,
Through each long, long lonely day,
And the road 80 dark and dreary
Since you have gone so far away.
As | sit alone in the twilight,
The stars are twinklinR above,
My heart is so sad and lonely
And longing for the one we loved
The midnight moon is beaming
Upon her sodded grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming
The one we tried to save.
BY HER MOTHER.
There's sound Of so much sadness
On the cold winds OF the night,
Once twas peace and so much gladness,
Then the world looked so bright.
There is sorrow that cannot find comfort,
There are tears which will not cease to
flow.
And they were shed for you. dear sister.
When God said you had to 60.

This practice Will furnish more feed
for tho livestock and help enrich the
soil, thereby insuring greater yields
of corn and cotton on same ground
next year.
Every Acre of Corn Must Do Double
Duty This Year.
Not only is it important to set aside
few cotton acres for these neces.
sary feed producing and soil building
crops this year but every acre deyot'
ed to corn should do double duty, and
COW peas, soy beans and peanuts
should be planted in the rows with
the corn at corn planting time or at
corn thinning time or later. These
crops may be planted in rows between
the corn rows and If planted so as not
to interfere with the cultivation will
not reduce the yield OF corn.
If your land Is infested with Nema-
todes or infected with cotton wilt,
plant none but the Iron or Brab.

sure to plan for these crops and
secure your supply of seed early.
Remember soy beans can be put
