Conqressman Talbot Dead.

Joshua Frederick Cockey Talbot. Rep
resentative in Congress of the Second
Maryland District and Maryland member
of the Democratic National Committee.
died last Saturday night at his home at
Lutherville, Baltimore county. He was
seventy-five years old. For nearly forty
years he had been a leader in the State
councils Of his party and had frequently
been delegate to national conventions.
He was close friend and political ad-
wiser Of the late Senator German.
Mr.. Talbot was first elected to Congress
thirty-five years ago. He was a member
Of the Naval Committee and vigorous sup
porter Of President Wilson's policies.
He was seventy-fve years old and one
Of the veterans of Congress. He has
served in the House during twelve Con-
crosses. For many years he has been
recognized as the Democratic leader in
Baltimore, Carroll and Hartford counties in
this State.
Among the old-time Maryland families
"Mas'r Fred" Talbot has been an out
standing figure in national politics and an
institution that it will be hard to get along
without He was the Maryland member of
the Democratic national committee and has
been an influential delegate to all national
conventions in recent years.
He was born in Luthervile and continued
to reside in that vicinity until the time Of
his death. He received public school edu-
cation and began the study Of law in 1882.
Besides serving in many Congresses, he
has held other important public offices.
His first contest was in 1871, when he
was elected prosecuting attorney for Balti-
more county. He was delegate to the
national convention at st. Louis in 1873,
in Chicago in 1896. at St. Louis in 1904
was delegate at large to the national con-
vention at Denver in 1908, in Baltimore in
1912 and at ST. Louis in 1915.
In October, 1899. he was appointed In
surance Commissioner OF the State of Mary
land and resigned in 1892 when re elected
to Congress.
Mr.. Talbot had been in Ill health for
more than year. A heavy cold contracted
during the early summer hung on so that
Mr.. Talbot himself expressed alarm over
his condition. and recently made trip to
Atlantic City on account of his health.
At one of his famous birthday parties
some years ago. Mr. Talbot said quite
frankly that he had made many mistakes,
that there were many things he had done
in his long life that he wished he had not
done and some that he had left undone.
But. he continued. when reflect upon
the three big things of my life and what
they have meant to me. If had 1t all to
60 over again would do as to those three
exactly the same:
"First-I would join the Confederate
army and fight for the Confederate flag
"Second-I would be Democrat and fight
for the Democratic party.
Third would marry the same woman.
if she would have me"

Times Flying-Buy Bonds.

Montgomery county begins the last half
of the Liberty Loan campaign faced with
the necessity of making the most energetic
efforts to secure the amount allotted to the
county. Less than one half of the $704,-
900 has been secured to date. Owing to
the large number of cases of Flu" in the
county. the attendance at the meetings
has been small and number Of meetings
have been called off, therefore it is nee
essary that every worker in the campaign
should make special effort to do little
better, work little harder and secure more
subscriptions. Don't let the peace talk fool
you. 1t may be part of the German plan
to make the Loan failure if possible.
If you have not subscribed. do so at once.
Call up your county bank or write card.
If you have only bought $50 or 500
bond, buy another one, because most every
body can save that amount in the five or
six months and the banks will carry them
that long without any cost to the pur-
chaser. The campaign ends on the 10Th
of the present month, so enter your sub
scription at once.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT G. HILTON.
Chairman Liberty Loan Committee for
Montgomery County.

Edwin G. Baetjer, Federal Food Admin
lstrator for Maryland, addressing packing
houses and slaughter houses and County
Administrators, announces that as meas
ure of conservation. it is ordered that lambs
dressed on and after October list shall have
all plucks removed at point of slaughter
An investigation undertaken at our request
by the Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture. indicates that
meterial percentage of the plucks are
lost or damaged as the result of the methods
OF shipping and selling. Lambs are them
selves occasionally damaged because of
the plucks showing evidences of decompo-
sition before the carcass is affected. When
separated, the plucks may, at the desire
Of the slaushterer, be shipped separately
or dismembered and utilized for manufac-
turing purposes, or the parts sold separ-
ately.
