CHIEF JUDGE WILLIAM HI.
ADKINS.
Editorial from Chestertown Trans
script, August 80, 1919.

In the nomination for Chief Judge
in the Second Judicial Circuit, which
embraces Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's,
Caroline and Talbot Counties, Kent
is deeply interested in the retention
of Judge Adkins on the bench. he
is singularly equipped for this posi-
tion A gentleman, a scholar and
Christian man, whose knowledge or
law as well as shis daily example OF
moral doctrine taught by the Bible
and Christianity, all strongly effect
his character and mind, as we'll as
his judgment. They have enabled
him to administer law and justice
with an even mind and well balanced
Judgment. 1t is an honor to these
counties to be represented by SUCH
Appeals. He has shown for Is years
that he is possessed of that rare
quality, rare even among the best
lawyers cool, judicial mind. He
is a man of strong convictions,
tenacious in upholding his honest
judgment as to the merits of every
case on trial before him; yet, if, on
the other hand, he be convinced an
error has been made he has never
hesitated to admit the error and cor
rect it so that no injustice should be
done to any party interested. This
is a rare quality, possessed by few
men, and few judges are able so to
divest themselves of the pride of
opinion, so common among men, and
promptly rectify wrong. The fact
that our judges are removed from
daily and intimate contact with their
fellow citizens, the very fact that
they are not expected by men to be-
one of and in the crowd, that strong
but uniform opinion which has ever
hedged around the judiciary so that
their whole time and whole lives
must be devoted to the administra-
tion of justice, rather to the seeking
of popularity by the personal solici-
tation of votes, places Judge Adkins.

Junior Home Makers Spend Busy
Vacation.

VSAN0OAOhks
The fact that July and August are
vacation months for those Club
workers, they have been busy and a
great amount Of work has been ac-
complished. The attendance has
been somewhat depleted as a num-
ber of them spend parts of their
vacation away from home. In the
meantime the girls at home are still
busy with their canning and poultry
work.
The girls at Charlestown have
done splendid work. The attend
ance has been unusually good. On
August 16, 1919, they held a festival
and made enough money to buy a
stove and some cooking utensils for
their school room. The Warwick
girls are busy bees. Nearly all of
the members have their thirty-five
containers full of fruits, vegetables
and jelly. At Chestnut Grove we
find large fiocks of poultry as well
as full pantries.
Liberty Grove Club deserves hon.
orable mention, also the Colora and
other Clubs in that community.
ALI fifteen Clubs of the County
have kept up their work during the
summer. Some have done better
work than others but all have done
well. 1t will soon be time for school
to open and the work will gradually
enter the school curriculum.
The girls are doing helpful and
instructive things, but wont you
help the girls along now and then
with a little encouragement: A
word of approval means so much to
a Club girl. To our mind, the work
the girls are doing is worth a big
boost from the older people. They
would appreciate'it any way.
