The Local Paper.

1t is not difficult TO prove 10 farmers
the advantage that they enjoy in hav-
ing agricultural publications devoted
especially TO their own territory. In
fact, so we'll has this idea been develop
cd that the most influential division of
the farm press comprises what is
known as territorial publications.
They cater to the interests of the agri-
culture of certain region defined by
natural conditions and render their
readers full measure of service that is
designed particularly for them The
people of the smaller cities and towns
should appreciate this same idea as it
pertains to the weekly, semi-wcekly and
daily papers that are published in
their midst. A good newspaper is a
fine thing for a locality. 1t is a real
asset 1t gives the news that is of
special interest to the folks at home
and ,NrmS the hub about which the
wheel of neiGhhorhooi activities cen
iers. Many of the papers published in
our smaller cities carry more news OF
general interest than is to he found
in some of the big city dailies which too
often sacrifice real news of value for
mere sensational stun which Would b.
better left unmentioued If the news
of the locality is presented with .
proper degree of editorial conSidera-
ton it not only keeps the local people
we'll informed as to what is going on
about them but also adds a dignity TO
affairs in general that might otherwise
be lacking. We have no quarrel with
those who take and read regularly a
good clean city daily, but everybody
owes it to his home community to sup
port the local newspapers which are
such large factor in making the
home town and the country surround
ing it a good place to live. There is
also much to be done in supporting the
local paper in advertising patronage. 1t
is surprising how little appreciation is
shown OF the local newspaper in an ad-
vertising way. Farmers especially can
often utilize the advertising columns of
the local paper 10 sell or locate for
purchase what they wish to buy and do
not know where to find Do not over
look the local papers. You need them
and they need your support.

Office in Frederick. Three plows have
been forwarded to Cumberland and
three are being kept at Frederick.
Three more will be sent to Cumberland
later on. 1t is the plan of the State

land and three between BoonsbOrO and
Baltimore.
1t is the purpose of rhe commission
to keep the State road from Baltinor
to Oakland open to traffic at all time
The snow plows Will be operated for II
hours during snow storms. In adj.
ton road machines viii be used whsr
necessary to open drifts which the
snow plows cannot open. Every en-
ergy will be exerted by the commits
sion to keep not only this but all other
arterial roads under its care open TO
traffic the year round.
In order to accommodate the travel

Copy Mother Ewes Costume.

Deep I'm the heart OF India there
lives a tribe of natives known as
Juangs, or leaf wearers. There are
but II 900 Of the tribe, and as far as
can be discovered theirs is unmixed
blood from the time their first ances-
tor emerged from the animal life Of
the jungle. They come as near to
being apes as any human being can.
The name leaf wcarer was given
because Of their custom of dressing
their women In lcaves-undressing
rather. for the custom consists of two
lunches of leaves. one In front and
one i'm back-that are thrust into q
belt Of string decorated with clay
stems. This dress Is changed each
day and ms result the outskirts of
their villages are ankle deep I'm the dis
carded fncry The legend Of the tribe
declares that the goddess of the Bal
turin river emerging from her home
IN the rocks saw several Of the Juang
women dancing without even leaf
She was outraged and ordered the
leaf dress with The threat that, should
the tribe abandon II, the curse Of
death would fall on the women and
the tribe be pxt"rminated.

A Last Song.

A dramatic episode is related in con-

vasion of the Shenandoah Valley in
1864.
On July 10, 1864, detachment Of
cavalry, in pursuance of instructions
from General Hunter, rode UP to

Boteler was a member of the Confed-

Warned of their approach, Mrs.
Shepherd met the soldiers at the door.
Captain Martindae stated he had come
to burn her house and its contents.
The furniture was piled up on the

As ancient Egyptians In unlimited

knowledge accrued from my reading
and practice as an architect, that the
blocks Of stone were raised and placed
I'm position by the very simple process
of using the lever and fulcrum, using
part OF the weight OF the block or
stone to help lift Itself
If you will look over the fllustra-
lions showing some OF the methods
used by the people OF those times you
will see that they understood perfectly
the use OF the lever and fulcrum.
did you ever watch a farmer and
the boy pry n ton or two OF stone

crowbar, but as general thing the
lever was maple snpllng cut from
the nearby. woods. The rock was
rough, with rounded sides. difficult
to get bite on, hut that rock was
lifted out of that hole. Neither the
farmer nor the boy had studied the
science of engineering. but they I'M
dcrstood the use Of the lever and full
crum and how the weight of the stone
would help lift itself
"ln the case of the Pyramids. each
step or inset would be used as part of
the blocking, thus minimizing the
quantity of blocking by using what
had been released over again
when each successive level was
reached, the outer edge of the block
would be raised and the block slid into
place on creased skids or rollers; this
method would leave the corners the

Firearms are said to have been first
used in European warfare i'm the Four
teen,h century. The first weapon Of
this kind that passed into general use
was the hand gun. which was OF very
rude construction. Ii consisted of a
simple iron or brass tube fixed In n
straight stock of wood. An improve
ment was made I'm the reign OF Ed
ward ~. when Il cock was affixed TO
the band gun to hold the match which
was brought down to the printing by
a trigger, whence the term matchbox.
Then came the wheel lock and about
1895 the firelock or fintlock. 1t was
the weapon Of Marlborough's and
Wellington's armies and became known
as Brown Bess." In 1884 the per-
cussion cap. Invented by Rev. Alexan-
der John Forsyth. was successfully
tested at Woolwich In 1889 the flint
lock muskets were altered to suit the
percussion cap. The percussion mus
ket OF 1S42 continued I'm use in the
British army until partially superseded
by the MIME rifle In 1851, and alto
gether by the Enfield rifle In 1855,
and since then the breech-loadng,
magazine rife has been perfected.
