LEARNING GOLF.

Some years ago the majority of women knew nothing about golf, and many good anecdotes are told of some of the curious ideas they held regarding the game. One lady, making sympathetic conversation at dinner, said to a keen golfer, q often see you in your red coat. Do you need many dogs to play golf?" A young lady said she knew exactly how the game was played. ''They get what they call caddies to hunt about in the grass till they find round stone, and then they hit it into a rabbit hole" A third lady, who had evidently enjoyed nearer view of the game, said, "It is played by two men. One is a gentleman and the other is a common man. The common man sticks ball on a lump of dirt and the gentleman knocks it offw

ADD TO STAMP COLLECTIONS
PhIateIists Enthusiastic Over the Number of Specimens From the
 Smaller European States.

Stamp collecting has lately had its full share of novelty for English adherents, and collectors in London are enthusiastic over the curious postage stamps which are beginning to reach them from the smaller Flu ropean states. One example from Lithuania-of the first permanent issue of that country-has been lith- ographed on heavy Silurian gray paper, which formerly was used for the printing of bread tickets. Lett land, Lithuania's neighbour printed its first stamps on the backs of Ger man ordnance maps; but these were somewhat unwieldy, and now its stamps are printed on fimsy tissue paper. There are other specimens, too, but those cited serve to. illus trate the nature of the latest phila- telic harvest and how welcome are the postage stamps of free nation in place of all the bread cards or German war maps ever devised.

WITH THE SAGES

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.-Confucius.
 If were sure God would pardon me, and men would not know my sin, yet I should be ashamed to sin, be- cause of its essential baseness.-Plato.
 We gain nothing by being with such as ourselves; we encourage each other in mediocrity. I am always longing to be with men more excellent than myself.-Lamb.
 Good words do more than hard speeches, as the sunbeams without any noise will make the traveller cast off his cloak. which all the clustering winds could not do, but only make him bind 1t closer to him.-Leighton.
 The most natural beauty in the world is honesty and normal truth |; for all beauty is truth. True features make the beauty of face; and true proportions the beauty of architec- ture; as true measures that of har- mony and music. In poetry. which is all fable, truth still is the perfection. -Shaftesbury.

SIX MONTHS ON ICE FL0E
Arctic Explorer and Companions Dared Death to Obtain Knowledge
 of Beaufort Seas Currents.

Storker T. Storkerson, who passed six months adrift on a huge ice foe in the Arctic ocean, reached Edmon- ton, Alta, en route to Banff, where he reported to Vilhjalmur Stefans- son, his chief, on observations made during his unique cruise.
 With II followers Storkerson set out from Border island with so dogs and eight sledges and in May, 1918, selected an ice foe on which he purposed to remain for a year or more with the object of deter mining the currents, if any, in Beaufort sea, taking soundings and discovering new land. Stefansson had intended to accompany the ex- petition but at the last. moment was taken i'll and was forced to return to civilization.
 Storkerson is inclined to believe, owing to certain phenomena ob- served, that land exists north of the point reached by his party on the ice foe.
 The foe upon which the party embarked was seven miles wide and fifteen miles in length. Seals, polar bears, ducks, gulls and land birds abounded on it. Shrimps and she'll fish appeared to be the chief food of the seals, according to Storker- son..

remained in his country home un-

enced a severe attack and was
brought to the city at the sug-
gestion of his medical advisors.
While Mr.. Schif will go down
into American history as a most
outstanding figure in finance,
commerce and the development
of American railroads, Jews all
over the. world will mourn the
loss Of a devoted friend and gen
erous supporter Of every public
movement.
Because so few of the COM

Schif's ailing condition, the mil

were ali the more deeply i'm

his death. Prominent Jews and
non Jews alike expressed their

JACOB HENRY SCHIFF
DEAD.
Great Jewish Financier and Phil

considered the greatest financial

fully at his Fifth Avenue home
last Saturday evening in the pres

"In the passing of Jacob Schiff
Israel loses a servant of its peo-
pie who bore their burdens upon
his heart. Unlike many Jews OF
wealth and power, Schiff never
forgot his people, but in every
increasing measure felt for and
with them in the unending sor-
row and tragedy Of their lot. AS
a result he stood out until his
name became synonymous with
worldwide beneyolence. His
loyalty to his people and his
faith ought to put to shame the
infrm and self-seeking deserters
of the Jewish name and heritage.
Many will witness in ample
phrase to his life and work. Let
me point out that his unaging
mind and undrooping spirit made
it possible for him in recent years
to give his support to the Zion
list movement, which he had long
opposed. A small man could not
have changed his mind. Only
a big man could have publicly
testified, as did Schiff on several
occasions of Importance, that he
had come to accept the Zionist
ideal as inevitable in the working
out of Israel's problems.
America gave him an oppor-
tunity. He made the most of it
and used his great fortune to
public ends. No man could have
a keener sense of stewardship
than moved him throughout his
days. 1t is too early to attempt
an impartial and ADEQUATE ap-
praisal of the man. Suffice to
saw that his name will be linked
with the names of Montehore
and De Hirsch. Edmond De
Rothschild and Nathan Straus,
who alike sought out and minis
tered to the needy among their
brothers.
"Manv will be the memorials
of Schiff to be planned and exc
cuted. One is led to hope that
his, children and chi1dren's chill
dren will be equal to the richest
heritage bequeathed to them, a
heritage Of self-forgetting and

"A life rich in achievements, a
life of extraordinary service to

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE

Frankly ask yourself the question
do you like to talk?" And II you have
TO admit that you do, then bear in mind
that certain pitfalls of bad manners lie
in your Path that do not beset the per-
son who has no such fondness for the
sound Of his own voice.
Very often the person who likes to
talk is the persons who actually does
talk cleverly. He likes to talk because
he can see that people are interested by
what he says and their show of interest
is gratifying to his vanity.
1t is very pleasant to see a group OF
keenly interested faces around you when
you are letting your tongue wag and
when you tell a droll story 1t is graft
flying indeed to hear the peels Of hearty
laughter.
The person who sees readily that his
listeners are bored can get no pleasure
from talking. And usually. though not
always, people who talk too much are
persons who have a natural gift in that
direction. But they are wise If they do
not abuse it.
The hostess especially should never
moncpolize the conversation. She
should remember even If her women
guests are extremely poor conversation
alists, even if they are young and shy
and timid, that good breeding demands
that she bring them out and give them
g chance to express their view and tell
their funny anecdotes rather than that
she should seize every opportunity to
show her own wit and fuency.
Don't make the mistake Of thinking
so intently about what you are COINS

GARDENING MOVE
MAKES PROGRESS
Association Claims Big Results
From Outdoor Project.

Officials of the Patriotic Gardeners as
ISOLATION said today that an inspection
of the garden plots made this year by
the association shows an increased in
terest in the movement.
All the plots at the abandoned county
workhouse grounds are in fine condition,
they said, and similar conditions exist in
the other large plots that are being gar
dened under the direction of the asso-
citation.
There is a decrease in the number Of
plots being cultivated this year, as COM
pared with last year, but this is due to
the fact that many real estate companies
are allowing vacant lots to be used as
gardens not under the auspices Of the as
ISOLATION.
Thousands OF plants have been distrib-
Rsed this summer by the association and
simost a thousand people this summer

living by raising their own vegetables.
Officials Of the association say the gar
aening movement has not only been 4
success IN a financial way, but that ii
also has had a great psychological effect,
causing many persons who would other
wise probably have '1oafed" during spare
hours TO become interested in work that
is really recrea tional and intensely inter
esting.

1t is impossible at this early date
to set forth what future confronts our
county school system. Its advance
ment or its Generalization and dis
ruption are now in the hands of the
three parties named above. Into
their keeping have been placed the
sacred care of the future citizenship Of
our country. The actions of those who
compose the Board will determine
the future peace and welfare of our
schools. If the best interests of the
schools are forever kept uppermost,
and not the satisfying of certain ire
sponsible ward heelers," who have
personal or party interests to advance
or revenge through insidious argu-
ments and political trickery, then we
can see no reason why our schools
should not continue along the high
plane of progress they have been fol-
lowing during the past eight years.

AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION
Meeting of Stockholders of New Or
ganization to be Held Monday.

The stockholders of the agricultu-
raj association of Garrett county, now
in course of forming, will be held at
the City Building in Oakland on next
Monday morning, June 7th, at the
hour of ten o'clock for the purpose of
electing a board of directors and the
selection of officers for the ensuing
year.
1t has been the intention of those
responsible for the organization of
the new agricultural association to
limit the capital stock to SO 900, but
as this amount has practically been
subscribed and number of the bust
ness men and agriculturalists of the
county have not been interviewed by
the solicitors, it is possible that the
capital stock may be increased to
$4,000 or more in order to allot
small block of stock to those who are
anxious to identify themselves with
the association. This, however, will
be definitely determined at the meet
ing to be held on Monday, at which
all who are interested are invited to
be present, whether they have SUBJ
scribed to the stock or are contem-
plating doing so.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE
Mondays Exercises In Oakland Were
In Charge of the American Legion

Monday OF this week the annual
Decoration Day exercises in Oakland
were held with a goodly number of
soldiers OF the World War in the
parade and very small number OF
the old G.. 3. R., but the interest on
the part OF tee latter was not in any
way lessened, for every man who
wore the nations colors in the six
ties who could possibly be present,
was here and took part in the exer-
cises. Their number totalled less
than ten, whereas only few short
years ago the ranks of those who
annually assembled to pay tribute to
their fallen comrades filled quite a
space when they marched to the beat
of the drum and the martial music
which befitted the occasion. The old
soldiers occupied automobiles in the
march to the cemetery which had
been donated for the purpose by the
owners residing in town, the forma-
ton being as follows:
Oakland Municipal Band
Proctor Kildow Post No. II, Ameri-
can Legion
Veterans of 1861 in automobiles
Garrett Lodge Knights of Pythias
Pythian Sisters
Daughters of Isabella
Knights of Columbus
Garrett County High School
Oakland Grammar School
The parade was formed in front of
the municipal building on Third street
and from that point marched out
Third street to Pennington, thence
to Second street and after passing
down this street the march to the
cemetery was taken up where, upon
arrival the band executed in most
commendable manner, several selec-
tions pending the arrival of the ora
tor of the occasion, the Rev. Frank
Mechanic, but a wreck on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad having oc-
Cured, he failed to arrive at all. AL
most without a moments notice DR..
Archibald Moore, superintendent OF
the Oakland District, M. E. church,
was waited upon by the committee
having charge of the arrangements
and was prevailed upon to make an
address. This he did without prepa-
ration of any kind. 1t was a mas
terful effort on the part of the speak
err, teeming with pure Americanism,
truths and good advice.
Following DR.. Moore's address the
French certificates awarded the par
ents or next of kin of the soldiers who
were killed or died in the cause were
presented by Mayor Thomas A. Con
der. The presentation and reception
of the certificates in many instances
were pathetic in the extreme, after
which DR.. Moore pronounced the ben
diction upon the assembled crowd
and details of the American Legion
decorated the graves of the soldiers
whose names appear below, many of
whom fought under the stars and
bars, but the majority being Union
lists:
