ALL SHOULD HEED
OPPORTUNITIES RAP

The knocks of Opportunity are Of
ten faint and hard to hear. Many a
man has failed in his life's work be-
cause he did not hear the gentle tap
ping on his door. And many a man
has attained the pinnacles of success
merely because he answered the door
bell when no one was ringing.
We do not listen for the rapping of
Opportunity as we should listen. Too
often we expect Opportunity to raise
a commotion outside our chamber
door and we refuse TO stir with less
than that to prompt us. That is the
wrong way to look for Opportunity
To begin with, we should strive to
make a neat path to our place of re-
sidence, that Opportunity will not have
TO wade through weeds to find us
And, having done that, we should
so desirable and attractive that OPP
portunity would naturally prefer it to
the other residences about us Nor
would it be amiss for US to leave a
few good deeds scattered about as ad-
refreshments to help Opportunity in
locating us.
Opportunity is abroad looking for
US and it is largely our fault if OPP
portunity should fail to find us.
There are things we can and should
do to help Opportunity. and it is up
to us TO do these things

Sometimes the course of true love

Belief that there are as good fish

THE GOVERNOR
MAKES AN APPEAL.
Asks Maryland Council Of De-
Tense To Aid In Supplying
Farmers With Labor.

The following appeal has come from
the Governor of Maryland
II have been requested by the Mary
land Council of Defense and by the
Federal State Director of Labor and
Employment, to aid them in the i'm
portant work of supplying to the
farmers of Maryland, during the crop
seasons of the present year, sufficient
farm labor for the harvesting of their
crops.
Maryland farmers have responded
to the worlds great need for food, by
planting larger crops and more ex-
tensive acres this year than ever be-
fore. and the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when some of these Will be
ready to be harvested. while the need
continuously exists for the cultivation
of growing crops.
Farm labor in Maryland this year
is at present short 5000 laborers, and
this shortage must be made up some
how, if the crops are to be success
fully harvested.
ITO aid in this work is the patriotic
duty of all persons who are capable of
helping, and who can, even at personal
Inconvenience and sacrifice, arrange
to do so.
The urgency and necessity of this
work is so great that, in obedience the
request of the Maryland Council of
Defense and of the Federal State Di-
rector of Labor and Employment, 1
address this appeal to the people of
Maryland, asking and urging all who
can assist in this important work of
crop cultivation and harvesting, to do
so, and l address this appeal especial
ly to residents of Baltimore and other
cities of our State who are employed
in the cities, and who will take one
or more weeks vacation during the
summer, which customarily would be
spent in the country, requesting that
these vacation periods be devoted to
work on the farms of the State helping
in the cultivation and harvesting OF
crops.
Proper pay and compensation will
be made by the farmers to all persons
who will so help, and by this means
vacation periods can be turned to the
profit of the volunteers who help,
and to the farmers as we'll
Persons are requested to register
for this service at as early date as
possible, at the United States Public
Reserve Office, &c Commerce street,
Baltimore, at the branch offices of
the Reserve in Cumberland. Hagers-
town, Salisbury, and with the post
masters of all other towns through
out the State.
Our boys have answered the call
to duty. to service and sacrifice.
They must be fed. as must our allies
over there.
This appeal is a call to duty to all
who can help.
EMERSON c. HARRINGTON,
Governor of Maryland.

May, 1918"

RETRIBUTION.

From an American correspondent
story of the dashing capture OF Can
tigny, on the second day OF the big
German drive, we find this significant
passage:
Then came the work with bayonets,
grenades and tiame-throwers Thirty
Germans were incinerated i'm one dug
out when they fired on the Americans
after crying Kameradn"
There is "A volume of comment in
that one short paragraph. 1t is easy
enough TO fill in the details. Our
troops had captured the German
trenches. They were clearing them
out. II was necessary to capture or
kill all the Germans who remained
alive. Our soldiers, playing the game
fairly, gave every foe a chance to sur
render.
As a squad of Sammies approached
this particular dugout, voices below
shouted "Kamerad!" which, is the uni
versal German word of surrender
The natural presumption was that
they were severity hurt and they could
not climb out Some of our boys,
therefore. started down into the dug
out As soon as their bodies showed
clearly against the outer light, the
Germans below fired on them.
The punishment for their treachery
was instantaneous and terrible. Our
troops were armed with flame
thowers" having in self-defense adopt
cd along with other devilish devices
introduced by the Huns. A nozzle
was rammed down into the dugout en-
trance, and the flame turned on. And
those thirty Germans below were
burned alive
It's an old story to all the allied
armies except ours. The British long
ago found it necessary to bomb" the
occupied German dugouts. because
whenever a Tommy went down into a
hole to help a wounded" German he
was shot or stabbed. II is the same
ugly fact, demonstrated in n thousand
different ways, that no German soldier
can be trusted They must be fought
as il they were wild beasts.
And it is all so utterly futile What
ever initial advantage they have
gained from any particular breach of
honor. humanity or law has soon
been lost They have been repaid in
their own coin, with interest, in all
except the basest indencies and
treacheries, to which no allied soldier
will stoop even in retaliation.

Courtesy.

There is no more valuable business
asset than courtesy and in many cases
it is sadly neglected. The wheels go
round great deal more smoothly with
the application of this lubricant. That
is a big asset of the mail order house
and the home man should not be care
less if he desires to compete with the
mail order man. He may think he can
be rough with the people he knows.
but whether he knows ii or not, he
often drives people TO buy elsewhere
because he has not patience enough
to be polite. Mighty few men have
such a pull that it can be substituted
for politeness. The people offended
may not like to tell the cause of their
change of merchants.

ONE EXPRESS COMPANY.

There is now only one railroad in
the United States, After July 1 there
will be only one express company.
The Adams. American, Wells Fargo
and Southern companies are being
merged, by order of Director McAdoo.
There will be one big private corpora
ton under public management, with
capitalization of $3O,OO0,0O0 or more.
II will probably be known as the Fed
eral Express Company-an appropri-
ate name and will be run by George
c. Taylor. now president of the Amer
lean Company.
Greater efficiency is the motive. IL
is expected that better service can be
rendered at less cost by the simpli-
fcation and Capitalization now posi-
BILE. Equipment will be standardized,
Present outfits will be pooled. Dupli-
cation of Offices will naturally be
eliminated. Lack of competition will
make possible a reduction of the work
ing forces
The public will gain, no doubt from
the greater simplicity of the express
business. shippers will direct their
shipments by express" and the goods
will be sent by the most direct route.
There will be closer cooperation with
the railroads and the postofIice.
It's welcome innovation. There
never ought to have been more than
one express company.

RULES FOR RIVAL RfvETERS.

The riveting contest is growing seri-
Gus. When a London team beat the
record of American workmen. Ameri-
cans were anxious to excel the Eng
lish riveters and to recapture the rec
ord. But a group of Glasgow men did
the deed. driving ASP rivets in a
nine-hour day with a powerful pneu-
matte hammer
An American team. of negroes has
now brought the honors back TO this
side OF the water with a nine-hour rec
ord OF 4.S75.
Naturally enthusiasm is running
high. and with the desire to beat the
previous records, has come recog-
milton of the need for rules or classifi-
cation OF the kinds of riveting done by
contestants. So now the size of the
rivets driven. the kind of hammers
used and the constitution of the crews
are going to be taken into considera-
tion while the rat-tat-tat-tat of the
rivals goes merrily on.

dead.
Who died for Liberty,
And under the wooden crosses rest
In a country over the sea.

And the fieur-de-lis for France.
And for Italy's sons the passion flower
From a garden OF old romance.
But oh. for the boys of the L. 5. A.
Who sleep so far from home

Ger three thousand miles of foam
White daisies, fresh from the dew,

With morning sunshine scTolled,
For To- in every daisy's heart
Is a service star of gold.

IRELAND SOLDERING DOWN.

II Ireland really meant TO revolt, the
natural time TO do so was when 500
Sim Fem leaders were seized and de-
ported by order of the British govern
meuts The Irish offered no resistance
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1918-06-04

TO that bold move, and all they have
done since is to pass resolutions of
protest
The natural conclusion is that the
talk of rebellion was merely a blum
on the part of voluble and hot-headed
leaders. Now that the blum has been
called and Sim Fein orators are 81
fenced, their followers are doing some
sober thinking
II need cause no surprise now if
Ireland yields TO conscription-not
gracefully nor cheerfully, but without
the violence and bloodshed anticipated.
