SHE WAS PARTICULAR ABOUT
THE PLACE.

They're telling a good one on
well-known young Paris business
man, young fellow who is very
popular with the ladies, and whose
one desire is to always win favor
In their sight. This is what brought
him the repartee from one young
woman in Paris. Feeling very
"chesty" as any well-groomed
young fellow would who knows the
world has been good to him, this
young mar attended the vaudeville
performance at the Grand Friday
night. At the close of the per-
Torrance, as they were putting on
their wraps in the lobby the young
fellow, with a look of admiration
for the fair young creature at his
side remarked: "On my honor, you
are picture. You look good
enough to eat" Quick as flash came
the pat answer: "Glad to hear it..
Shall we go to Dale's or to The
Sweet Shop" The last seen of them
was when they headed toward the
Dale restaurant, intont on making
the best of the situation.

onnortunitx on the Farm.

There was a time when the idea
was altogether too common, that the
occupation of farming was a sort of
junk pile where fate threw human
dlscards who lacked ambition, intelli-
gence, or perseverance enough to sue
coed in any other calling in life. Then
along in the late nineties there was
a "back to the land movement" and
"mossback" and 'hayseed" were rele-
gated to the columns of obsolete slang.
The farmer sees life and growth on
every hand. Even in winter. in the
localities where the landscape seems

holding everything in It's grasp, there
is the hope of renewed life. or resur-

A PATRIOTIC MEASURE

The people oi Maryland, with
one accord, will note with gratih-
cation the passage yesterday OF
the bill for the erection Of a
lmcmorial to the men and women
OF Maryland who served in the
World War, The objects and
purposes Of the bill are concisely
set forth in its title as follows:
IAN Act TO create a Commis-
sion to determine upon and to
erect a memorial within the State
to the men and women Of Mary
land who gave their lives fol-
their country in the military or
naval service in the World War
and to commemorate the services
of all other men and women Of
Maryland who were engaged in
the military or naval service in
that war
1t was most appropriate that
the bill should have been intro
duced and sponsored by one of
those sons Of Maryland who.
himself, rendered conspicuous
service in the War-Delegate

Arundel delegation,-who was a

an epigram in two lines. "Ahr said

ANNEXATION AND THE
REFERENDUM

Among the local bills pending
in the Legislature that ought to
be assured Of passage is the one
submitting the question of an
nexa4ion Of PASSPORT and Ger
mantown to the registered quail
fed voters and taxpayers in the
territory affected. The same
principle underlying that section
of the Constitution of Maryland,
which provides that no new
county shall be organized with
out the consent of the majority
OF the legal voters residing with
in the territory affected. applies
with equal force to annexation
Of whole communities like East
port and Germantown, and the
referendum is the only equitable
means of determining this ques-
ton of annexation. 1t involves
the right Of the people to choose
their own form Of government
under the Constitution, and as
such, is question in a class by
itself.
The bill which has been intro
duced in the Legislature BY Dele
gate w Meade Holiday thor
oughly covers the procedure for
registering the will Of the voters
and taxpayers affected and con
tains full provisions Ter the ma
chinery Of governments in the
event Of decision in he af6rma-
tive.
There is much to be said on
the annexation question. both for
and against. but the enactment Of
the pending bill into law would
simply offer a means OF letting
the people themselves make the
decision. As recognized by the
State Constitution, this is dis
tinctly the kind OF question for
deciding which the referendum
should be invoked.

According to the superstition, the
Loogaroo, keen on sucking human

pleted. Thereupon the unhappy Loo

do not talk of Loogaroo, but there
are plenty of duppies. Duppy, rough
ly speaking, means ghost but there Is
a slight difference, for the duppy can
walk the earth, while the spirit or
