Observation-Disclosures
Real Meaning Of "Yeoman."

The word ''yeomnn." except In It's
association with "yeomanry." has
dropped out of common use, and
when one does come across it it Is
generally employed incorrectly. Re.
Gently 1t was used in England as u
synonym for farmer" which It is
not. a yeoinan is Il man. who farms
his own freehold. whether he Is n 40.
shilling freebooter" or 4O,OOO-shi
ling" one. This is still clearly enough,
understood In such backward coun-
ties as Dorset, where the yeOman Is
tenacious of his title and thinks all
the better Of you If you address your
letters to Mr.. So-and-So. Yeomnn
There are still yeomen of old descent
true gentlemen of England" who
would not thank you for any higher
title. 'Yeoman" Is one of those good
words the integrity Of which should
be preserved.

Resolved.

That peace will find us back

we backed him in war.
That between now and April
we will lay every possible stone
Of the groundwork for the Fifth
Liberty Loan and leave no act
undone which will tend to keep
alive and quicken the con-
seriousness of the nation that
savings and thrift are peace es-

That we will exert our efforts
to stop trafficking in bonds of
the first four loans and will
keep our War Savings Stamps.
That we will carry out our
War Savings pledge if that is
unfulfilied, and make and keep
new Savings pledges this year.
That we will work tooth and
nail from now till the last day
of the April drive to oversuD-
scribe that Liberty Loan.
That we will finish our job.

Civilization Fatal to Eskimo.

ViIhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex.
plorer. to whom the Charles p. Daily
medal was presented by the American
Geographical society for his "valua.
bic contributions to science" pleaded
that no efforts be made to civilize the
Eskimo tribes Of the far North. All
snch previous efforts. he stated, had
resulted disnstrously for the natives.
One tribe of 5000 discovered in 1926
by an English explorer, he said, was
now reduced to only 40 persons
through adoption Of civilized mode
Of living. which was unsuitable for the
frigid cline.

Choptank Lodge Hosts
To Many Visitors

Choptank Lodge of Masons, East
New Market, entertained a large
number of visiting brothers at their
communication last Tuesday evening"
the visitors including about forty-
five members of Nanticoke Lodges:
fredericksburg; twelve or fourteen
from Cambridge, and others from
Preston, Centreyille, Baltim ore and
elsewhere.
Following the regular meeting, dee
licious refreshments were served in
the Realty Hall, which is on the
same floor as the Lodge room. It
seems to be quite generally acknow-
ledged that Choptank Lodge has the
handsomest Lodge room on the Pc
ninsula, and among its many inter-
esting curios are some candle sticks
which first belonged to Vienna Lodge
of Masons, this being the first Lodge
in this section, and being established
under the jurisdiction of Pennsylva-
mia; in fact, the candle sticks were
presented to Vienna Lodge by some
Lodge in Pennsylvania, at the time
of it's installation. This was about
one hundred and thirty-two or three
years ago. When the Vienna Lodge
surrendered its charter the candle
sticks were given to Cambridge
Lodge, and later were given by Cam;
bridge Lodge to Choptank Lodge.

Tribute To Mrs. Reid

Mrs. Kate Reid, wife OF the late
C. Mitchell Reid, died at the Cam
bridge Hospital March 2. She was
born in Salem, Md, March Is, 1859.
where she lived until after her mar
riage, when she moved to Linkwood,
where she lived for a number OF
years, being very active member OF
the M. E. Church of that place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid moved to East
New Market about eight years ago.
Since then she had endeared herself
to the hearts of everyone on account
of her charming personality and
spotless character. In all religious
duties her example was beautiful,
she being a prominent member of the
M. E. Church at East New Market.
She was treasurer of the East
New Market Chapter of the Amerl-
can Red Cross and Lecturer of East
New Market Grange, and willingly
devoted her time to all patriotic, as
we'll as all charitable interests.
During the influenza epidemic she
nursed many cases and was unfor-
tunate in losing her mother three
weeks ago with that dreaded disease.
Mrs. Reid will be greatly missed in
this, as we'll as neighboring commu-
mites in which her untiring efforts
have so willingly been directed to-
ward the progress and welfare OF
mankind, but God knows best, and
since He has seen best to bless her
with unceasing rest, her many
friends can but wait until the final
curtain is drawn, and that day come
when all shall meet alike in spirit.

BIG STEEL COMPANIES

disc intent among the workers is caus'
ing The department Of labor some OF
the most acute anxiety it has under
gone since the critical period Of re.
consEuction was ushered in.
according to Frank Morrison, secre-
1 axy of the American Federation of
abor, the question at issue is simply
cne Of the right to organize which at
the present time is being opposed more
aor less openly by all three companies
sl1entioned above.
Phlfay because Of the large foreign
Asement a tlzss 6ilIs the steel workers
L. PenasyIyania have never unionized
in anything like the degree accom-
plished during the war, the American
Federation Of Labor has, since the
close of the war, conducted vigorous
campaign to push its organization in
the steel towns.
To oppose this tendency the Beth
lehem, Midvale and Cambria COM
panies have instituted a scheme of
plant organization and are conducting
vigorous campaign to enlist their
employees in this movement, which in
wolves outright reputation Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
T. f. Conboy, chief organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor, at
Johnstown, says that officials Of the
Cambria company have time and
again coerced and intimidated their
ignorant and foreign employees into
signing up with the company organiza-
ion. David Williams, an organizer at
Allentown, brings the same charges
against the Bethlehem officials.
