U. S. S. G..
Movement Has the EndOrsementOf
Governor Harrington and Others.

Emerson c. Harrington, Governor of
the State of Maryland and Charles P.
Coady, Representative at Large, have
enthusiastically endorsed the work of
the United States School Garden Army
and have asked the children of their
State to become members of this
organization which is following out
the plans laid out by President Wilson
and Secretary of the Interior, Franklin
X. Lane. to raise more food and so win
this worldwide war Governor Har-
rlngton in calling upon the school child
rem to do their important bit in the war
trenches at home, said:
The opportunity which is now yours
to be Of great service to your country
during this World S Crisis should not be
neglected. Patriotism means service
and you can do your bit by becoming a
member Of the United States School
Garden Army and by cultivating every
available spot of ground that you NAV
be IN a position to cultivate without
neglectlng your school duties. To do
your utmost should be everYone's
motto"
Representative Coady has offered to
cooperate with the United States
School Garden Army in fulfilling its
program which will result in the pro-
duction of half billion dollars worth of
food.
Il feel very certain. said Represen-
tatiye Coady, that the United States

THIS is LABOR'S WAR.

This is labor's war. No element of the
people of this country, or of other
countries, would suffer more than the
workers from German victory-a
German peace.
What the Germans mean by strong
peace, German peace" was re-
Gently expressed by Gen. Won Leibert,
a leading Prussian conservative.
'For US there is but one principle to
be followed, and we recognize no other.
We hold that might is right. Wemust
know neither sentiment, humanity,
consideration, nor compassion. We
must have Belgium and the north of
France. France must be made to pay
until she is bled white. We must have
a strange peace"
Mr.. Gompers spoke well for Ameri-
can labor when he said,
1.-The Republic of the United States
is not perfect; it has the imperfections
of the human-but it is the best coun-
try on the face of the earth, and those
who do not love it enough to work for
it, to fight for it, to die for it, are not
worthy of the privilege of Lying in it.
II say to the Kaiser. say to the
Germans, in the name of the American
labor movement: You can't talk peace
with the American workers; you can't
talk peace with US; you can't talk to us
at all now. We are fighting now.
Either you smash your Kaiser autocracy
or we will smash it for you"
The workingmen of America have a
tremendous interest to serve. a vital
cause to defend, a work of surprising
Importance to accomplish. What is
vital to them is vital to America and to
the world. That they see their duty
and the great mass of them are per-
forming it with unimpeachable loyalty
IN cause for congratulation to the
Nation and the world.

EVANSVILLE.

The heavy and unexpected snow fall
of last week put stop to all spring
cleaning and gardening and farm work,
that had been started. Roads were i'm
passible or almost so. Mails were de-
laVed several hours and on Wednesday
it was impossible for the Frosburg mail
carrier to get through at all. Floyd
Yoder, the Salisbury mail carrier, got
through each day, however under diff
ficulties. Snow fell to the depth of
three feet, and, where it was drifted in
many places the snow was five and six
feet deep.
Tourists motoring serenely and un-
suspectingly along the National Pike
were held up for days, camping out, or
finding shelter at farm houses along
the way. Dozens of cars staggered
and rocked their way into Grantsvllle
where their occupants were made COM
Portable at the three hotels, all of
them being filled and busy. Public and
private garages were crowded to their
utmost capacity. This continued for
three days, during which time the
hotels, merchants, garages, telephone
and telegraph companies all reaped the
benefit of the delay. On Saturday
morning, after the storm had subsidized,
and traffic was again made possible,
teams were started ahead to break
= 9ugh the drifts and from eight until
a procession of cars formed on the
streets of Grantsville-roadster tour
ing cars and limousines of all descrip-
tons and sizes-reaching the length of
the town, and from out their hospital
retreats the refugees came-men, wo-
men and children-and finding their re-
syective cars, prepared to continue their
journey, and, with lurches and starts,
the procession ricochetted drunkenly
down the old pike in the direction of
Frostburg, reaching there late in the
afternoon, distance of fourteen miles,
usually covered in half an hour. Several
other parties coming East reached the
