Red Cross Seals Mean. Warfare
Against tuberculosis -

D. you know the doubl, barred. Red
Cross? Do you know what it stands
for? 1t is the world wide blem of the
worldwide fight against tuberculosis
Tuberculos killed "2,9i4 persons in
Maryland last year The death rate is
forty-four percent higher than that of
the country as whole.S Out of every
thousand Of population in Maryland 2 CA.
persons die of pulmonary tuberculosis
alone. This disease cost the State OF
Maryland an economic loss of more THAN
Sc, OO1, 600 a year. And yet tubercu-
losis is preventable9. and = cusaRle,s dis
ease! Contrary to. =. bbarassspo popular
belief, not yet entirely overcome,
tuberculosis is not an iHherired disease
1t is disease process caused by the
growth in the body of. the ,;tuber,l
bacillus or germ. Thare can b.. no
tuberculosis without the germ.
Fresh air, cleanliness. scrupulous care
10 destroying germladen sputum, abso-
lutte rest and wholesome food, all of
which are included in the treatment
given by the sanatoriums and hospitals
for the tuberculous, have worked wond.
ers. Still greater results are certain
through the extension of the educa
tional work now being carried on by
the National Tuberculosis Association
and it's affiliated state and local organi
cations. The most formidable obstacle
in the campaign against tuberculosis ls
the undiscovered case, the person who
has the disease but does not know it.
The National tuberculosis Association
and it's allied organizations plan to
search out every undiscovered case and
put the afflicted person in the way of
obtaining proper treatment.
To finance the fight, S., 500, 900 worth
of Red Cross Seals for 1919 must be
sold. Maryland share is. SIZE, 200, and
Prince Georges County is asked to sell
at least 1926. 90 worth of seals. A
substantial percentage of the gross
proceeds procured through and by the
sale campaign will be retained in the
county to further social welfare work
Miss Agnes Ferriter is Social Welfare
Worker in this county.
A seal sells for one cent, and each
one is a penny's worth of cure and pre-
vention. Buy the ssals.in Prince Geor'
ge's County from the representative in
your community. Do not buy them
| elsewhere. Let your own county get
the benefit of your contribution. Every
letter and package should have Red
Cross seal on it.

Cummings Hanged for His Crime

George Cummings, colored, ali Is
Wright Strouthers, was hanged here
on December 5th for the murder of
George Peters. farmer, near Bowie,
Prince Georges county, August II last
The scaffold was in the yard in the
rear of the County Jail. The trap was
sprung by Sheriff Eli S. Harrison who
took the oath of office Tuesday. The
body was buried in the Jail yard half
hour after it was cut down. Cummings
protested his innocence till the last.
A crowd of about 100 persons, a large
number of whom were colored men.
Grow I'd in to the small Jail yard and on
the fence. Rev. Francis J. Loughran,
paster of St. Mary's Catholic Church
Cummings talked freely with the priest
and repeatedly declared he was inno-
cent.
The crime for which Cummings was
executed was one of the most brutal
in the annals of Prince Georges county.
George Peters, an elderly white farm
who resided with his wife and children
near Bowie, was attacked Sunday after
noon, August II last, while in his or.
chard, and shot down without chance
t. defend himself, and his body riddled
with bullets The perpetrator of the.
crime had first accertained from the
dead mans daughter, Miss Catherine,
who was ill in her reom, that ionly the
young lady and her father were at
home. After staying Mr.. Peters, the
negro returned to the house, were a
struggle ensued between him and Miss
Peters. The latter was shot at least
six times, after she had fought to save
herself from the brute. Cummings
was arrested in Washington day or so
later and at first denied ever being at
Bowie. Taken to the hospital where
Miss Peters lay IN serious condition,
the latter would not say positively that
Cummings was the man who shot her,
1t later when taken before him in the
Il fillmore City ] all she positively iden-
tif9d him. and again at the trial she de
ella ed that Cummings was The man
who, after receiving all the money she
had, took "a Liberty sbond which was
identified as her prop erty at the trial
The apprehension, atrial and execution
of the negro is estimated to have cos
the taxpayers of the county approx
mately 81, 500.

Flour Prices About To Fall, Says
Barnes

A drop of approximately $3.50 bar.
rel on pure white -four is promised by the
United States Wheat Administration
to become effective within from three
to four weeks in practically every city
in the country. This promise was made
by Wheat Director Julius Barnes, VIII
declared that there was no prospective
shortage of -four and indicated that the
report that there would be a shortage
and that flour prices would go higher
was DOGGY being used by ambitious
flour statesmen. According to the Gov
ernorment wheat director flour is being
produced in more than ample quantities
Use of meeting all demands during the
winter and spring.
The prices now promised, and to be
come effective as soon as distribution
can be accomplished will bring the
price of pure, straigh -four" mad,
of the finest wheat down to rs cents
they are known, with Fights or 244
pound sacks at double that price
Prices in the ne arket on straight grades
of -four are 80 cents for the smalle'
sack, and 81. 80 Tor the larger, show :
ing promised reduction of 20 per cent
to the consumer.
Leaving the -four cost in the hands OF
the consumer the Government director
of wheat said this puts the solution OF
one phase OF the cost of living up to
the consumer by making it possible foI
the purchaser of -four to decide him
self whether he will continue to pay
fancy pricessfor special brands, or buy
at lower price pure, straight fiou'
made from the finest wheat"
The large gathering of farmers at
the Tobacco Growers Association meet
ing on Thursday is healthy indication
OF the interest taken by farmers in The
movement to :organiZ4. The tob1cc
market Is an uncertain one, anu grow
ers are at the mercy of the buyers.
Farm products are about the only com
modify upon which the seller does moi
set the price. Ia all other cases the
seller fixes his price, and the buyers
can give it or decline to purchase
This is made possible because the farm
ers has no organization through which
prices may be fixed and maintained
Wn lie the producer of farm product:
has b., such organization those VIII
purchase his products have there or
CARNATIONS, and use it to fix the price
to the farmer and aso to the psices a
which they resell to the consumer. L
is time that farmers should take charg'
of their own industry and protect thel
own interests To do so they must or
ganize and stick to the rules of thei
organization. If they do not, the.
have no right to complain when the.
fall to received just reward for thei
labor.

I ONG years ago Dave Crockett said, Be sure
you're right then go ahead And this is
counsel safe and sane; we'd save ourselves all
kinds of pain, if each would paste it on his head
and do as good old Davy said. In these ex-
cited, troublous times, go ahead with breaks
and crimes nor query we whoop along Is
this course right, or is it wrong? We tread on
t'other fellow toes, and crush his hat and spoil
his nose, in our mad rush to gain bone or boost
some interest of our own. Old customs and
old methods droop, and precedents are in the
soup; we mutter deep contempt for laws and
Self becomes our only cause. If | can get what
desire care not if your homes afre. This is
the spirit of the time and precepts not
worth dime. We do not care if we are right
when we kick up a useless fight; we do not care
if we are wrong, 50 that our bank account is
strong. And Davy Crockett sleeping lies; he
left behind message wise; but wisdom has no

MINE PROFITS AND THE MINERS.

That soft coal mine owners made shocking
and indefensible profits in l9l7 and that there is
grave doubt they are entitled to increased prices
because of the proposed thirty per cent increase
in miners wagers William C. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury declares in telegram to
Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield. The owner s
profits as shown by their income tax returns exam
med by him as secretary of the treasury in 1918,
he said showed earnings capital stock ranging
from | IS to 1000 per cent
Il am convinced that the wage increases pro-
posed for the mine workers are just and reasona-
bic" Mr.. McAdoo wired. Before deduction of
excess profits taxes-which were less in 1917 than
now-these income tax returns showed that earn
ngs of 100 to 800 per cent. on capital stock were
not uncommon.
Referring to the btuminous mine owners in
come tax returns for 9 Is, which he said he had
not seen, the telegram said:
If they disclose any such profits as earned
by the bituminous coal operators in 1917, it would
be a grave wrong to permit the operators to take
from the public additional profits in the form of
increased prices for bituminous coal"
Mr.. McAdoo urged that no increase in prices
of coal to consumers be allowed and that the in
come tax returns of soft coal mine owners be made
public
Mr.. McAdoo is mighty late speaking, but it
may be that he has spoken in time. The miners
have contended all along that the operators were
making exorbitant profits; now they have what ap-
pears to be the highest proof Of their contention
Ibis contention, however could not be fairly en-
Poyed by them in ustifying their strike at the time
OF year when their concerted action would bring
suffering and want to the door of millions of help

THIS SPEAKS FOR ALL.

Says The Macon Telegraph, in commenting
upon the hoax perpetrated upon Vice President
Marshall in Atlanta Sunday:
There is nothing funny in what some half
Drained smart alec did in Atlanta Sunday night 1t
takes no brains to make anxious people believe a
sick man has died and only the will to think a mo-
ment to hit on plan of breaking the news to
carry added conviction. To have the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States told the President is dead
just the former is making a speech, so that his
actions thereafter may appear ridiculous when the
hoax is exposed is the project of that lowest and
most detestable form of wit the practical joker
That it has been done by |. w. w., or even
the Boshevki guilty of all things, is hardly worth
consideration. That it done by agents of anti
administration party forces in this state commits
stoned to ruin the effect Of what would undoubted-
ly have been first class speech along lines un-
pleasing to them is as little to be believed There
was nothing behind it, in all probability, but the
loose screw rafting to unusual effect in the mental
machinery of some pluperfect human jackass"
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-25

eminent agencies should see to it that they get the
raise at the expense of the operators and not at the
expense of the public. And the whole controver-
sy should be brought to a close at once.
The buck" has been passed to the public
about long enough Mr.. McAdoo is not used to
speaking lightly, When he says that the coal
operators have been making shocking profits heed
should be given his words for they tend to con-
frm what has long been a matter of suspicion on
the part of the public. Mr. Garfield, the fuel ad-
in;etrator and referee in this controversy should
have little difficulty in verifying Mr.. McAdoo'
in the treasury records.
