Mr.. Charles Edger, one of the best
known men in the county, died at
his home on Choptank avenue last

an illness from a complication OF
diseases. Mr.. Edger would have

and one sister, Miss Eloise Edger.
He was one of the best known men
on the Peninsula, having been for
many years engaged in the-livery bust
ness in this city, which business brou
ght him mimic contact not only with
the people of the county and city,
but with the travelling public in gen.
eral.
About four years ago he became
i'll with Bright's disease, and after
being i'll for sometime, heart trouble
developed and complicated the situa-
ton. At times his health seemed
much improved; in fact, recently he
had been working at New Castle,
Del, from which place he returned

The funeral services will be held
from his late home on Choptank ave-
nue. tomorrow afternoon, about three

FOUR DAYS LEFT TO
WIN THE LIBERTY LOAN
Each Individual Knows Whether He
Has Done Fail Duty-LuXuries
Now Become Reproach.

Only four days in which to COM
plete Maryland's quota of the Fourth
| Liberty Loan, and only half of the
money raised now.
That shows just how clearly every
| individual in the cities and the State
has got to face the question of whe-
Their he or she has subscribed to the
full extent of his or her capacity.
1t is a matter of individual respon-
sibility, matter of conscience. EV-
cry man and woman knows what he
or she has done and whether that
represents all that he or she can do
better than does anybody else. The
person who spends for some creature
comfort the money which he or she
might have put in bond of the
Fourth Liberty Loan is betraylng
the men who are suffering manning
and death in France.
Such a person is betraying his
neighbor, who is living a bare, hard
life. that the war may be ended the
earlier and thousands of American
men brought back to their homes
whole. a new dress or a new suit
of clothes representing money which
might have been put in a Fourth
Liberty Bond; a new automobile
any purchase which isn't one of the
necessities of life-snould be an eter-
nal reproach to the person indulging
in it
The matter of whether peace is
near or far has nothing to do with
it. President Wilson sent a stern
note to Germany last night. The
Fourth Liberty Loan represents a
vote showing lack of confidence if it
fails. The latter will unquestionably
prolong the war.
A big obstacle in the way of sub
scriptions to some persons was clear
ed away yesterday when it was an
nounced that the banks would lend
money on the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds at IA per cent. for so days,
and then renew the loans for nine
months at a rate of interest not more
than II per cent. in excess of the
rediscount rate charged by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Richmond.
The time left in which one may
subscribe is perilously short.
Instant action is demanded. Every
mans, every woman's conscience, will
tell whether he or she is a loan slack
er or not.

Judging by the activity being dis New York. the Empire State will not long be without legalized sport, says a prominent Eastern sport writer. There are a number of persons who may be tabbed the good ones of the game who, even before the de- mise of the Frawley law on No vember 15, had set the wheels in motion to bring about the return of boxing The result of these efforts will be shown at the next session of the State Legislature when new measure is presented.
 It is said this bill already has been framed, and while it bears re- semblance in general construction to the Frawley law, there are sev' eral notifications A little more than six years of boxing under the Frawley law gave plenty of oppor- tunity to find out the strong and weak points of such sport and it is the hope of those who have their hearts in the mitt game that the weak points that cropped up in the past can be eradicated.
 The effort made to institute "club boxing" after the Frawley law died has not proved successful; in fact, it might more properly be called failure It is no easy business to line up enough bona fide members to pull off shows without losing a lot of money for the boxers and their managers aren't in the habit of scrapping for love" They de mand the coin and won't do business unless they get it, so it's up to thu promoters to come across or close up, and the latter has been done 1T most cases.
 The matter of police Interference also had to be considered, and some of the "clubs" were haled into court to explain the methods of conducting shows. The "clubmen" scored {

Superstitious Mexicans
 Fear Evil Eve of Doctor.

When Doctor Torrance appeared among them and examined the throats of their children with a common doctors forehead light, and after they had thrown the medicine away, their children died, the superstitious Mexicans on the big vineyard ranch thought she had an evil eye, and the finn started. They seized her and were about to burn the evil eye out with shot poker, when she was rescued by the boss of the vineyard, whom the Mexicans feared.
 Rosa. a daughter of a Mexican, has been disgraced by the assist ant to the boss, but when suspicion is thrown on the boss, he makes no attempt to clear himself, rather than throw blame on the man who was really guilty. However. the assistant proves good deal of a man after all and clears the boss. When the boss and the Doctor mar ry, the Mexicans lose their fear of the evil eye and everything ends happily. Blanche Sweet plays the part of the Doctor, while Tom For man plays "The Boss"
