Federal Liquor Sales o. X.

An opinion has been submitted to the
Postmaster General by VIM. H. Lamar.
solicitor for the Postoffice Department.
which holds that the law excluding from
the mails publications carrying advertise
ments of intoxicating liquors does not APP
ply to advertisements for the sale Of liquors
inserted by the government.
The question arose in connection with
an advertisement offered to Baltimore pa
pers by Collector Of Internal Revenue Miles
announcing public auction sale Of liquors
seized for violation of the internal revenue
law.
by numerous decisions. that the state of
the public is not to be considered as with
in the purview of statute, however gen.
eral and comprehensive its language, I'M
less expressly named or included by neces-
sary implication. The exception to this
doctrine, also sustained by decisions, is in
the case of a statute made for the public
good. the advancement Of religion and
justice and prevention Of injury and wrong"
The Solicitor holds that the statute does
not come within the exception to the gen.
eral doctrine and that therefore it does not
apply to the government.
1t is held by the Solicitor that newspa-
pers are not prohibited from printing ad-
vertisement of such sales by collectors Of
internal revenue.

The Fuel Situation.

The attention of consumers of coal is
urgently called to conditions which i'm
peratively demand the utmost care and
economy In the use of fuel. Weather con-
ditions. which are beyond human control,
have aggravated the difficulties with which
the railroads have had to contend and
have postponed large part of the relief
expected from the recent closing order Of
the Fuel Administrator. Every effort has
been made to comply with requests of
local dealers for consignments of coal and
considerable shipments have been made
to various stations in the county. But the
coal now moving is inadequate to supply
the immediate demand and is likely to re-
main so until improvement in traffic con-
ditions permits freer movement of cars.
In this state of affairs the cooperation
of consumers is necessary to enable the
government authorities to relieve the short
age of fuel. 1t is believed that consider
able saving would result from more careful
supervision Of furnaces and the mainte-
nance of few less degrees of heat in our
houses by the observance Of the Shovel
Tag" recommendation of the Fuel Admin
istration. that at least one shovel full less
Of coal than usual be fed to the fires. This
small saving per day would probably
amount to a months supply during a nor
NAL season, and is at least worth trial
in the aid of the effort being made, in the
face of difficulties and impediments of
various kinds, to meet serious situation.
In word, in this matter as in others neces-
sary to win the war. the people must help
the government. and SO help themselves.

1t is with the deepest sorrow and regret
that we offer few words in memory of our
dear mother. Mrs. A. M. Offutt. who de-
parted this life January 18th. 1918. at her
home. near Rockville. Nd, after an illness
Of only three weeks.
She had wonderful executive powers.
well and active to the last
She leaves a husband, one son and three
daughters: Vim. F.. Emma C. and Hattie
E. Granger, and Mrs. VIM. B. Trundle, who
comforted her in her home.
The home circle Is now broken. There Is
an empty chair which can never be filed.
In her home she was kind. loving and
thoughtful Of all courteous and hospitable
to all whom she met, and now there will be
ever silent voice and missing smile at the
front door, through which she was ever
ready to welcome.
Death has taken from US one whose place
can never be filed. and the loss of our
dear loving mother is great. She was
whole-soul follower OF Jesus Christ. and by
her example we will make 1t mark feature.
Let us firmly trust that God in his mercy
will not make the burden heavier than
we can bear, and submit to Him and say.
Thy will DO done. What can we say 7 We
hardly know not how to talk Of cOnsola-
ton under so bitter and sad affection, but
think of One who loves us ALL He has
prepared glorious and shining home be-
yond. where she will know no sorrow.
Should we not be willing to make sacri-
flee for her great and eternal gain 7 Surely
the loss of devoted mother brings deep
and heavy shadow. but remember that
light some time will break through and
there will be sweet and happy reunion
in the great beyond.
One less at home
The charmed circle broken--a dear face
Missed day by day from its usual place.
But cleansed. saved, perfected by Grace,
One more in heaven.
One less on earth
Its pain, its sorrow and its toll to share.
One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear
One more the crown of the blessed to
wear
At home in heaven.

Modern ldeas Of Greatness.

When we ask what It Is that we
moderns deem to constitute greatness
among the men OF our own or COM
paratively recent time, we feel that
the standard has somewhat changed.
We set less store by monarchs, for
they do not fill the stage Of the world
as they once did, although some OF
them have still large opportunities
for doing good or harm. Neither 90
we give quite such special honor to
military glory us former ages did.
Nevertheless, the essential qualities
that dazzle the eyes Of man may be
still the same. I speak chiefly Of the
greatness that consists In action, for
the ruler, the statesman and the war
rier do their work In the sight Of the
world and can be judged by 1t, where
as the poet or the philosopher may
have long to wait for recognition and
even a supreme scientific discovery
may not be appreciated until long
years have been spent in working out
its appllcations.-The Youths Com
panion.
