Observation-Disclosures,

Sunday morning last Mr.. C. L.
Wamsley and family were surprised
when an automobile bearing a license
tag of West Virginia stopped at their
home. The occupants proved to be a
runaway couple, Mr.. Long and Miss
Smith, both of Randolph county. West
Va, accompanied by Mr.. Carney and
Mr., Jonathan Wamsley, of Mill Creek,
West Va. They remained at Mr..
Wamsley's until midnight when they
left for Oakland where they secured
the necessary papers and were mar
RED, after which they went on their
way rejoicing. One of the interest
ing features of the wedding is that
the groom had secured the services of
the men who accompanied the couple
without notice to the bride-elect. hence
the latter was unprepared to take a
journey in the matter of clothing. be-
ing gowned in a simple house dress
when her gallant knight dashed I'D.
but the matter of dress made not the
slightest difference, she accompanied
him and the knot was tied.

A SUGGESTION TO THE PACKERS

The packers, having taken posses
sion of our food supplies, from the
lowly shrimps, to olives, spinach and
hominy,u up to pork and beans and NUT
ton and beef, might now turn their at
tention to the Injuries.
We understand, of course, that the
packers, being of a philanthropic turn
of mind, prefer to deal only in the
stern necessities. Still, there are lux
uries that amount almost to necessi-
ties, for which the people will spend
their money as freely as they spend it
for the packers line of goods.
There's bound to be a good thing
for the packers, say, in the candy bust
ness, if the packers are looking for
any more good things. The candy trade
still appears to be more or less in the
hands of individual owners, thus rob-
bling the people of the opportunity to
contribute anything to the meat trust
when they buy candy for the children,
and therefore there seems no chance
to stabilize candy prices. The public
still can buy candy cheaper at some
stores than at others, and any packer
knows that such a practice amounts
in the long run to bad business. 1t
used to be that way in the meat bust
ness.
And toys-theres a field as yet I'M
touched in its possibilities. To be
sure, candy and toys are not, strictly
speaking, in the packing line. But
there is killing" to be made in the
business of both lines, and the pack
ers could easily justify themselves in
breaking into any killing" where
profits are promised.
Consider the field as yet unworked
in the way of selling candy pigs to the
kids at real pig prices, or of making
father dig up for toy calf in bulk.
IT the packers have any hesitancy
about entering a new field lest tehy be
criticized by constitutional lawyers of
the old fashioned sort, let it be known
to all the world that, from every out
ward appearance from every inward
work of the meat trust there seems
nothing in the Constitution anywhere
that would limit the packers in their
ambitious or hinde rthem in the prac-
tice of their taking ways.
The constitution only guarantees, to
the ultimate consumers in addition to
life and liberty, the"pursuit of happi-
ness" There is nothing to hinder
the packers in going the one step far
Their and 'coppering," also, the pur-
suit of happiness.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

1 f
The annual campmeeting begun as
announced. with all the promised
workers and evangelists present. who
did their parts faithfully and earn
estly, with the result that the atten-
dance was away above that of any
previous meeting of like nature held
at the Park. The crowds in attend
ance on Sunday, the last day of the
meeting, was a record-breaker, it be-
ing estimated that the large auditori-
UNI could not have accommodated
more than half those present had they
wanted to get inside the building. The
meeting forcibly reminded one of the
early days of the Park. The outlook
for next years meeting is most en-
couraging. Among those to be here
in the summer of 1920 and conduct
the meeting are the following: Bishop
W. F. Oldham, DIR. H. C. Morrison.

Many summer residents are COM
ing in, their arrival being made every

One of the most delightful events
of the season thus far was an informal
dance given at the Mountain Lake

COL. A. w. w. WOODCOCK
WILL BE HELPFUL TO TICKET
He is Man of. Superior Ability and
is Strong Politically

/
is Strong Politically
Republican leaders on the Eastern
Shore have agreed that Col. A. W. W.
Woodcock, of Salisbury, is the man
VIII m the party should nominate for
comptroller. The argument is that
this selection would give the ticket that
geographical balance which is deemed
necessary. The governor comes from
Baltimore. the attorney general from
Western Maryland The comptroller
should come from the Eastern Shore.
How important the question of geog-
raphy is IN making up ticket, no one
knows. Perhaps the plan of distribut-
ing the nominees through the state IS
largely precedent. The precedent has
rarely, If at any time, been departed
from, however. In the distribution,
the comptroller has usually been select
ed from the Eastern Shore. Thus four
years ago the present Judge Duer, of
Princess Anne. was the nominee.
More important than the consider
alton of geographical balance, however,
is the feeling that Col. Woodcock is
the desirable candidate because of his
past party service and because he is the
type that will add strength to the
ticket because of his personal worth
Colonel Woodcock has been a life
long Republican and comes of Re-
publican family. Politics has always
interested him as the field where q
citizen could do something practical
towards making government better and
towards insuring that we will continue
free and self-governing nation. He
has never hesitsted to take an active
part in party affairs. He looks upon
the Republican party in Maryland as
the party of progress and reform.
In 1915. Colonel Woodcock managed
Mr.. Weller's successful campaign for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for Governor.
In 1916. just before going to the border
at the call of the President, he man
aged Senator Frances primary fight
for the nomination as Senator. In
neither of these fights did he inject any
bitterness. but made the issue the
simple one of the greater availability
of his candidate. Since that campaign,
Since that campaign. Colonel Wood
cock has been in the service nearly the
entire time. He has continued to oc-
cupy what has become, by reason of
his absence, the honorary position OF
secretary to the Republican State Com
mittee.
1t is agreed that he would make an
efficient comptroller if elected. He was
good professor at St. Johns; he was
good soldier. He is good lawyer. 1t
is arguable that he would make a good
comptroller. Moreover, he has had the
advantage of special work IN taxation
and public finances at Harvard as well
as having always been a close student
of the state government and its af-
fairs.

as to Danzig, East Prussia or Me-

many facilities for food supplies,
raw materials and overseas trans
port. Military occupation by the
Allies will continue as a guarantee
for the execution of the treaty.
England is as much interested in the
doings at Washington as in the
peace conference at Paris. Alarm
has been aroused in England by the
Senate's antagonism to the league
of nations. The Tribune's London
correspondent says the Knox reso-
luton has served to brighten many
Englishmen into supporting the
league. "The Daily Express" says:
"The action of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee threatens the
league with disaster, and in, de-
stroyingA the league it menaces
also the entire peace fabric" The
paper blames President Wilson for
the present situation, and adds:
The worst of it is that the whole

the vanity of one man."
England deeply resents the resolu-

made demonstration against them
and DR.. Theodor Melchior, one of

Frau Dorlbiush were struck on the
head by stones. Premier Clemen-
ceau wrote letter to Count Won
Observation-Disclosures apologizing for
the demonstration, while the re-
sponsible police official was re-
moved from Office.
The summary Of the revised treaty
shows that the concessions made
are few and of relatively minor i'm
portance. The most important
change in the territorial section of
the treaty is the admission of Up-
per Silesia to the list of regions
entitled to plebiscite. Germany
Is to receive notice of the total
indemnity to be demanded of her
earlier than 1921. The German
army may number 100000 for a
limited time. The Allies do not
waive their right to try the Kali
ser. A civilian commission is es-
tablished to govern the Rhineland
as substitute for German polit-
ical control. Admission of Ger
many to the league of nations will
depend on the acts Of the German
government, especially toward the
treaty. No modification ia granted
