Obituary.

On June 3, 1919, at his beautiful home
near Auuasco, Prince Georges county,
Md, Philander Adams Bowen, formerly
of Georgetown, was called to his re
ward. Full of years, spent in service
to his fellow man, he will long be held
in loving memory by many friends left
behind. A man of unusual strength of
mind highly cultivated, of lofty ideals,
answering integrity, sweetness of dis
position, distinguished appearance and
charm of manner he so lived as to be q
powerful influence for good to al
brought in contact with him. Many
owe to his implanting the foundation OF
character which enabled them to pass
through life with honor to themselves
and to the community in which they
live. In the relations of husband,
parent, friend, neighbor and citizen, he
was all that Christian gentleman
should be. Many will miss him and
none will recall him with more admira
ton, respect and love than those whose
lives have been influenced by high
ideals inspired by him more than fifty
years ago. His was long life, full OF
good works, and in him true anc
noble man passed to the beyond.

More Liquor Raids

Following the liquor raids on White
House Tavern, near BeltsvIlle, this
county, Saturday night, Constables
Tobln and Smith resumed the work OF
serving warrants. but were able to visit
only two other places before morning.
When they started out Saturday night
they expected to serve at least six war
rants, but the time spent at White
House Tavern searching for liquor de-
layed them and made it possible to
visit only two other suspected places
before morning,
A dozen pint bottles of champagne,
found in Ossie Ringers home at River
dale were taken by the constable and
his assistants, and Klinger was required
to accompany them to the Office of
Justice OF the Peace Herbert J. Moffat.

there about o'clock and arousing

midnight.
Klinger told the magistrate that the

a naval officer, who has been in the SER

Klinger, a candidate for sheriff of
this county, was formerly charged with
having in his possession more than the
| one quart month allowance.
| Herman E. Burgess, resident of Hy-
attsville, appeared and qualified as
| Ringers bondsman for his appearance
at the October term Of the Circuit Court

| Paul Miner, proprietor of White
House Tavern, was detained until Sun
day morning after daybreak, when his
counsel, J. F. Lillard, furnished bono
for his appearance.
Many other warrants for residents o.
this county have been issued and are il
the hands of the authorities. 1t wa.
aopenly stated in Justice Moffat's ofic'
that hundreds of residents OF the coun

their skins down the back and crawl
out, leaving the empty shell where it
hung to the tree
In few moments they are full-fedg-
ed locnsts with wings, the wings being
marked near the tip with membranes
which form the black letter w, which
many people think means war. But it
doesn't, for the locust comes out on
schedule time, war or no war. 1t takes
them only short time, a few minutes,
to get used to the change in their condi-
ton, and then they fly away, the males
to go accounting, the females to put
themselves where the males cannot
miss seeing them, according to the i'm
mutable law of sex.
| ( They mate, and in short time the
female is ready to lay her eggs. She
| has powerful ovipositor with which
! she makes slit in the bark of twig
| of tree or shrub or in the stem of
: weed-any old thing will do-and then
she deposits her eggs. Then her mis-
sion on earth is fulfilled, she passes
I away. BY this time the male is sing
ing his swan song and he, too, passes
away.
| The young hatch out in a few weeks,
drop to the ground and promptly pro-
coed to dig in like the Germans did in
France, only they go deeper, living on
the sap from the roots of trees while
| they are in the larvae stage, and gong
as far down as 20 feet so the scientists
say. Just how they transform from
the larvae to the pupa is not known,
but it is supposed they take few years
to go down as larvae, then change their
form, turn around and start upward,
taking a few years to make the trip,
ane then come out to do as their fathers
and mothers did. Just how they know
when their seventeen years are up is
another thing even the scientists do
not know about them. They simply
saw it is the nature of the thing.
The greatest damage they do is the
Sitting of the bark of the twigs of
fruit trees so the eggs may be deposit
ed, but that does not hurt the trees to
any great extent, and thew soon get
it, as rule. But it is the female that
. does the damage, while the male makes
the noise, this, according to the cidada
philosophy, a fair division of labor.
Moreover, they actually are of some
use. They may be eaten. Chickens
, and pigs are very fond of them, anC
, turkeys fatten splendidly on them.
1t is even said that they are good fol
folks to eat, but to get them at theil
best they must be collected just aftel
+ they burst their pupal skin and while
+ they are white and tender. Afte
v they get to flying around they become
t hard and somewhat unpalatable.

The LOcusts.

Don't worry about the locusts. They
are noisy and disagreeable, and they
mess up the place most outrageously.
but thew are not going to do any harm;
that is any serious harm. Besides,
Worrying will not help the slightest
bit. There are here, and they are 60
ing to stay until they fulfill their mis-
sion on earth, which does not take long,
whatever it may be, and then they will
disappear, not to cause any more bother
for II years.
They are little more numerous and
little more noisy than they were II
wears ago, and there's reason. 1t
seems, according to the scientists, who
know all about such things, that there
are two families or broods of locusts,
one of which appears every II years
and another and lesser brood which ap-
pears every 13 years. 1t seems that
both the 17-year crowd and the 13-year
crowd make their appearance together
this year, and that's what makes them
40 much more pronounced than they
were II or ID years ago.
| The 17-year locust, or periodical CT
| cada, to give it its official title, has
been in this neighborhood for something
more than a fortnight, and it will not
| be here much longer, and then the In
| fernal racket it is making will be at ar
end. The racket it makes is its mos
Objectionable feature, for it is said to
be the noisiest insect in the world
The fem ales of the spicies are said t
be voiceless, but the males make
enough racket for both.
Just why it should be 80 no ont
seems to know, but Maryland and New
Jersey have the worst of 1t when II

DOUBLE TRACKING A MIND

A fine one track mind has happened be-
fore in American politics. In writing the
Declaration of Independence Thomas JEFF
ferson did masters job. When it was a
question OF indicting autocratic power
and stating democratic principles in gen.
eral terms no man in the world eXcelled
him. In a grapple with stubborn unpifil-
osophized facts he failed. There was a
juncture in the development of America
when Jefferson's generalizing, philosoph-
izing literary talent was immensely use
full. There were other situations in
which the goods to be moved were most
ly over on the other track and he was
not useful. He was not a Lincoln.
When Woodrow Wilson was leading
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for president the opposing Democratic
press pictured him in a resplendant silk
hat, the shiniest of shoes, expansive shirt
bosom and kid gloves-as legend in the
cartoon informed you. At any rate those
habiliments were more familiar to him
than Lincoln's patched homesps,n. He got
his democracy by reading and reflection,
not by mingling with the crowd at the
village postoffice. If like Lincoln he had
been thrust into hard but genial, rough
and ready, but not stunning, pioneer
struggle for existence, very likely his
mind, like Lincolns, would have developed
another track-the one by which the
world gets its living-and he would have
had the same solid sense of vulgar reali-
ties. His academic life denied him that
] advantage.-Saturday Evening Post.

GERMANY'S CHOICE

1eTHldUy dI Jilc DdT 10 dS dETORdilL do
Prussianism undefeated. She talks with
the bravado displayed in the rape of Bel
GUM, forget full for ten moment that the
iron heel has been filed close to the ten
don of Achilles. Her statesmen complain
that the peace terms are Illuminating,
THAT they spell the doom of Germany. Did
they expect to escape with scolding and
a license to try again?
The crimes Of the past four years de-
manded stern treatment. No punishment
that left the breath Of life in the German
government could be too severe. But Ger
many whines and even threatens Never
'theless she will accept terms or destroy
herself on the rocks of revolution. She
cannot escape the penalty. No matter
what her choice, the ultimate result is the
same. Prussianism is destroyed and
Germany can begin anew with little, as
allowed by the peace treaty, or with moth
ing, which is inevitable with decision in
favor Of revolution.
In spite of the universal desire to see
Germany shackled and bound, the situa-
ton is reflective of the entanglements
which have been invited for America.
The German ire is ntO directed against
the allies; it is not fastened on the peace
conference; America alone is held respon-
sible for the humiliating terms imposed
upon Germany. The facts in the case
warrant a different reasoning and diff
ferent conclusion.
( AS Germany cites, the peace is not made
strictly in accordance with the fourteen
points. That, however, is not the fault or
MIR. Wilson, as is evidenced in the treat
ment accorded Japan, Italy and China, in
the peace conference. But one conclusion
is to be drawn and that is that President
Wilson did not dictate the terms OF peace.
Why then should Germany transfer her
hatred from Great Britain to the United
States? Surely the treaty is convincing
evidence that We did not advance our ma
tional interests by reason of our participa-
ton. Yet Germany claims that it is a
selfish peace, which ought to convince her
that her hatred is misplaced as it is di-
rected against America.
Much as we regret the Wilson depar-
lures from American tradition we do not
fear the theats which Germany makes at
this time. The allied armies and the peace
conference have removed the Prussian
menace so far as we are concerned. Her
threats TO-DAY can only find expression in
| Bolshevism ad that is not menace to Am
erica, but to Europe and Germany her
self.-Salt Lake Herald.
