state Speakers Will Visit Southern
Maryland.

Now that the Liberty Loan and Red
Cross subscriptions have been nearly
doubled, let every one put his shoulder
to the wheel and help to secure the
War Savings quota for the county.
MARYLAND is near the bottom of the list
of States in the War Savings campaign.
Are we willing to let her remain there?
The War Savings investment is just as
attractive as the Liberty Loan, and
President Wilson has asked the people
to buy as many of the stamps as poss-
ible before June 28th next.
Through the efforts of State Director
Robert Grain and Charles F. Harley,
chairman of the speakers committee, a
tour of War Savings Stamp speakers
for Southern Maryland, to begin on
Saturday, June e. has been arranged
The speakers will travel in automo-
biles from county to county address, ng
as many meetings as the different
county directors have arranged tor
them, and it is expected that they will
give a big boost to the sale of War
Savings Stamp in this section of the
state.
The speakers who have been invited
to make the trip are Judge Walter |.
Dawkins, Judge Charles w. Heuisler
George A. Softer, Charles H. Carter,
Daniel Randall, former State Senator
Edward NJ Hammond and State Sen
ator George Arnold Prick.
Their speaking engageme nts by
counties are as follows: Anne Arundel
June o. Calvert, June "a; st. Mary S
| June %; Charles, June 26, Prince Geor
ge's, June 27, and Montgomery, June Is
The speakers will endeavor to ar
rive, in each county at 10 o'clock each
morning, and will begin their speaking
trip through the county. All are well
known speakers, and it is expected
that they will greatly help the South
ern Maryland counties in reaching theil
quota of War Savings Stamps.

Walnut Timber for the Government.

Since the announcement was made
few weeks ago, that the Government
needed large quantities of walnut for
the manufacture of aeroplane propell-
ers and gun stocks, hundreds of offers
of walnut timber have been received at
the State Forester's office, Baltimore,
and at the office of the Forest Service,
Washington.
The largest quantities of walnut are
in the middle West, and it is there that
nearly all of the walnut manufacturing
plants are located 1t is evident, how
ever from these offers from Maryland,
ranging anywhere from one tree, to a
hundred trees, that there are consider
able quantities of walnut in the State,
and it is quite probable that local in
dustries can be established.
Only trees of sufficient size to make
a log, not less than ten feet long, and
twelve inches inside the bark at the
small end can be used. Any one hav-
ing trees of suitable size-the larger
the better-that they are willing to sell,
should communicate with F. w. Bes-
lev, State Forester, Baltimore, Mary
land, who is cooperating with the
United States Forest Service in secur-
ing local supplies of walnut.
The Government does not buy the
+;,,hor "a this is done through agents,
who have Government contracts. The
State Forester is interested: first II
aiding the Government to secure avail
able timber, and second, in helping the
owners to secure a fair price.
If desired, the State Forester will
inspect the standing trees, estimate
their value, for the benefit of thu
owners, before it is offered for sale.

o, noble ship, as you span the seas
From America to France,
AS you move along with stealth and
pride
Across that wide expanse;
Are you mindful of those precious lives,
Young manhood in their prime,
Leaving their loved and native shore
For strange and distant cline?
Our faith and fervor pleads for them
In unspent tones of love,
Our hearts must pray, though the lips
be dumb
To that God of Hope above.
May hope smooth the troubled path Of
your prov,

For that CLEAN of hope in tbs dark
hour
We need, to cheer the way.
Awake, awake, and grid your strength,
Steer bravely through the deep;
Hurried thoughts upon US press,
AS onwardly you sweep.
IT'S not in US to look unmoved,
On "Safe Arrivals" gaze,
A million throbbing hearts then sing
A hymn of lofty praise.
o, gallant ship, Star of the Sea,
Thou Goddess of the deep,
AS you trace your path mid dangers
grave
That darkly round you sweep;
Heaven smile propitious on your course,
Blessed be your passage Ger,
And bear you safe, with cargo all,
To that destined foreign shore.
o take this message, mark it well,
From Mother and from Dad
Guard, guide, protect, and keep from
harm
Their boys in Khaki clad;
o, land them safely, precious souls
Entrusted to your care,
Then hands will stretch across the sea
To grant you '..Croix de Guerre"."

ARTICLE III.


 Modern ideas in regard to child training lay stress upon adhering from the beginning to certain set times for feeding, sleeping, bathing and airing, for regular habits lay the foundation of moral teaching. They are also a boon to the mother, resting her nerves and giving her time to herself, which in turn again acts to the benefit of the child.
 After physical needs have been pro- vided for, all the average normal child needs is to be let alone. Many babies are constantly er-stimulated by mothers who adore them. It takes a wise and unselfish- mother to keep her baby quiet systematically, and rele- gate him to warm, safe, happy background"
 Physicians agree that infants under the age of 6 months should never be played with, or needlessly handled or caressed, and though it may be the dearest delight to rock and coddle the new infant and to watch his sweet ways, the wise mother will place him comfortably in crib or carriage, and let him go to sleep by himself, pref erably in the open air Babies treated in this sane, unselfish fashion seldom cry except for some good reason. Self control and self-reliance seem big words to apply to infant education, but these virtues have their founda- tion in earliest childhood. The child's wonderful mysterious little personality must have time to develop itself, and growth and strength come "in the silence"
 One of the first problems which confronts the mother is the uneeasing activity of her small children. From the moment they can creep, they are "doing something every minute of the day. We simply cannot bid these

Training Little Children
BY MRS. ELY IRA HYATT,

, restless creatures keep still, for ac- f tivity is the law of growth. Instead, We must learn to keep them busily and happily employed, and to substi- ute right activities for wrong ones. Constant repression makes restless and unhappy child. We must learn to recognize abundant energy as good, and to turn it into right chan nels.
 Bad and mischeivous children are simply the results of negative meth ods. It is not enough to say, "Run away and play" but definite occupa- tlon should be suggested. The pos ; itive upbuilding method is to say, Do this," instead of Don't do that" and if one form of employment must be taken away, something else should be suggested.
 A recent Italian educator has de- clared that unnecessary restriction in child's life is crime. There must be rules, of course, and children must learn to obey, but much friction can be eliminated by avoiding unneces- sary commands. There should be few rules, but these should be firmly adhered to. It is definitely better not to give command than to let child evade it. The habit of teasing for thing will never develop, if this course is faithfully followed. Children brought up without rules or system are restless and unhappy. but, on the ohter hand, blind obedience should not be insisted upon too long. The child can begin very early to reason for himself in small things. Later the moral fiber must be developed which will enable him to choose to do the right thing because it is right, and to recognize and obey the still small voice within himself. A desire for right conduct must Rse awakened. The will does not begin to grow until a

INCESSANT PEACE TALK.

President Wilson believe, that we can continue talking about peace while we are fighting. It is said that this is the opinion also of the overwhelming majority of congress- men.
 There is little doubt that this Is the statement of nearly all of the people. The man ill the street thinks that if war aims can be obtained by diplomatic peace declarations and a satisfactory and secure peace ob- tained without killing off million more men, there should be nothing to hinder such a desideratum.
 It is upon this attitude that Presi- dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George do not agree. Tne British premier believes in fighting without talk, and as a consequence uneQuivo- cally backed the declaration of the recent Versailles conference, which declaration President Wilson repu- diated in his recent reply to Count Czernin.
 But above all stands out the fact that the rulers of men are talking about peace. Only "a few months ago mention of peace was considered nearly traitorous.
 Peace is on mems minds: it is on the minds of their rulers. The onl, issue left is the kind of peace we are to get. And ii is about this kind of peace that we are willing to fight. The wrong kind is worthless, the right kind welcome without further fighting.

.SHERRILL BOY WINS
 MINE LAYING CONTEST
Phil Jenkins Gets Cash and Trip to Lewis Machine Gun Factory, for
 Skill at Navy Yard.

Corporal Philip Jenkins, Second company, United States Marine corps, now stationed at League Island navy yard, Philadelphia. Pa., was the win ner in mine-laving contest on Feb ruary 2. News of the success of the former Sherrill boy, who is a nephew of MT. and Mrs. J R. Martin of this city, is contained in a letter from the corporal to his sister, Mrs. Hazel Jenk- ins Moses of Sherrill. The letter fol- Flows:
 Philadelphia, Feb. 8. My dear Sister: q received your short but sweet let ter only few minutes ago, and will answer it at once. "1 am feeling fine. "Have no news except that won in a mine laying contest yesterday. Be- lieve me, sure do feel great over it. There were eight men in it, one from each mine laying company. All of them were gunnerv sergeants except myself.
 "Just think of your little brother topping a prize from men above him
 who have seen ten times as much ser vice in laying mines. The prize con-
 sists of ten dollars in gold and three weeks trip to Utica, N. Y., to the Lewis machine gun factory, where will learn all about Lewis machine
 guns.

 hear from you real soon. I remain, uVOJIP RTIDDV y

HOW WE MISS TIT.

The Congressional Record, "the on lv uncensored publication ill the world" no longer circulates outside of the District of Columbia. In thia way the public printer saves lot of paper, which in view of the pres ent paper shortage, is good Qolicy.
 But George Greet and his commit tee on Public Information are of different color. In fact, th, commit tee is spending 5000 a day, which isn't fitting in well with Republican congressman, and lots of Democratic congressman, too.
 But the Congressional hecord- up to 32 pages daily and going to prac- tically every daily and weekly news paper in the country-how we do miss it! We never read word in it for months at a tlme-yeL how we do miss carrying it from the postof- flee to the office!
 And the hard-wOrking mail clerks now they must miss it.
 It is said our transportation out look has noticeably improved ia the last few weeks. That must be be- cause the Congressional Records are no longer burdening the railroads.
 An old friend is gone-how we miss it.
