EDITORIAL.

If you have ever watched
the growth and unfolding of
a flower or plant, you have,
no doubt, marveled at its
development.
Your observations have
been doubly interesting if
you observed the same plant
under different conditions or
environment.
Environment exercises a
tremendous influence upon
the lives of plants, of ami
mails and of people.
Just as the seed Of the
plant or tree contains an
exact reproduction of. what
that seed is to reproduce,
so does the brain of an in
fant contain the pattern of
the possibilities that lie
within it. However, the
plant from the seed may be
dwarfed or twisted out of
shape by external eondi-
tions. - -. 4.
Influences and condf lions
which should have been kept
away from the boy or girl
may result in its life pat
tern being so altered ! as to-
make of it a failure rather
than a success. r.: II

AGED ROMEO LETS
GIFT SUIT DROP

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, March 81
Because Jesse NJ. Harden, seventy,
the aged Romeo of HighheId, failed
to appear to press his suit for S22.S1
worth Of presents given to his for
mer sweetheart, Miss Sophia Schnei-
der. also Of Highfeld, during their
recent courtship, Justice John Fergu-
son, of Smithsburg, dismissed the suit
against the young woman.
The little courtroom Of Justice Fer
guson was packed with a curious
crowd at the time set for hearing the
case. After waiting a reasonable
time, Justice Ferguson teIephoned to
FighfeId for Harden and was in
formed that the latter would not ap-
pear.
Nothing in recent years has so stir
red the pastoral quiet of the village
of HighfieId and its vicinity as Har-
den's suit against the young woman
who was to be his wife. and the fall
ure Of Harden to appear in court to
urge his claims for the presents he
had given the girl is accepted as an
other of the idiOsyncrasies Of the
aged lover.
Bottle of DnndeIIOn Wine.
Miss Schneider was present, accom-
panied by her sister, Miss Bertha
Schneider, against whom Harden also
filed a suit for $3.50 for a bottle Of
dandeIion wine and two phonograph
records. In a note acco npanying the
II
return the records and win (if she
had not drunk the latter). Both
were returned -. .. i
Miss Schneider, the aged Beau
BrummeTs sweetheart displayed one
of the letters she had received from
Harden, in which he said it would be
his farewell message and referred to
the Judas kisses" she had given him.
This part of the letter reads as fol-
lows:
But, oh, those Judas kisses! Wom-
an, oh, woman! 1t has been told me
that a woman can lead man any
where she chooses. I now believe it
for you have led me to the precipice
and down amongst the rocks Of de-
spair to moan and groan over what?
What foolish man 1 was to be led
by a woman"
Miss Schneider told Of Harden call
ing on her one evening and finding
another widower present. This caller |
came to call as part of a joke per- |
petrated by some residents of the |
neighborhood. Seeing he had a rival, |
Harden, who got no farther than the |
door of the parlor, remarked: Miss |
Sophia, two hats can't hang on the |
same peg" And he departed. Then |
followed the broken engagement and |
the return of the ring by Miss -Schnei- |
der. The breaking Of the love ties
appeared to worry Harden. whose age |
is seventy-two years, but who is a /
well-preserved man.

To Negotiate Peace

Paris, April 21.-The council of four
met late today, President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George, Clemenceau
and Orlando attending. Premier
Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Or
lando met again early today in M.
Clemenceau's Office and resumed con
sideration of the Adriatic question.
President Wilson again absented him
self from the first conference.
The German reply to the ultimatum
OF the council of four that 1t will not
receive any German delegation not
fully empowered to conduct and ne
goiate peace is awaited anxiously.
The ultimatum was sent to chech
German plans to refer the treaty to
Berlin or Weimar for decision.
Grave doubts were expressed today
whether the perfected peace treaty
would be presented to the German
representatives Friday. While the
treaty will be communicated to them
in substance, 1t was said in we'll in
formed quarters that it would be ply
sically impossible to prepare the docu-
ment in It's complete final form in the
four days remaining.
If the German government in reply
to the ultimatum, raises a controversy
regarding the status Of the German
delegates and the procedure to be fos,
lowed, the arrival of the delegates al
Versailles, Friday, may be postponed

HUNS TO TRADE
 WITH MEXICO

COBLENZ, Aug. 5.-(P)-The eyes of the commercial world of Germany are directed toward Mexico, accord ing to German newspapers of recent date.
 With reference to Germany's pros pective trade with Mexico the Ger man AnZeiger which is devoted to the chemical industry says: "In Nun ich there was formed in 1918 a Ger man Mexican society composed of educated people. The purpose of this society is to disseminate information about Mexico; lend impetus to the study of Spanish; b1ng about the teaching of the German language and German kultur in Mexican schools; induce Mexican statesmen to visit Germany; and induce Mexican youths to attend German universities. In March, 1919, a similar society was organized in Bavaria with charter membership of 200 persons.
 "In Renthingen there has been in corporated the 'AlmecO' founded by industrial firms, the purpose of the organization being to facilitate eX- change of raw products and other commodities between the two coun- tries.
 "Seventyfive per cent of Mexico's exports found their way to the United States which regards Mexico as it's warehouse Of course those exports will now go to Germany. Our first duty is to secure from Mexico large imports of raw materials and not regard it as dumping ground for Germans goods"
