Rev. Frank Weaver Gives
Timely Warning.

Mr.. Editor: Please let me say few
words through your valuable paper,
to the public, as warning. In travel
ing over the country see many
farms lying in waste; this means
hunger to the eater A great many
people are making a great mistake in
moving from the farm and going in
(. he city for high wages. The far
l. =. is going to rule the world. God
told Adam to go and till the earth
for living.
All of this high cost of living and
high wages remind me of Pharoah's
dream: he saw seven years of plenty
and seven years of famine, and when
the seven years of famine took place,
the seven years of plenty were for
gotten. All of this high cost of living
and all of this moving in towns
means starvation. Let everyone move
in town and everybody will have to
llONS OuO VI IOWh w GiiS SCHiSGSLJ.
There are some people who are CIV
ing the last drop of blood in their
veins just to stay in town. 1t was
said once upon a time that here was
an eagle that came down to earth
and caught a weasel and he was seen
soaring away on high, Out of sight he
went. After a short while he was
seen coming to earth faster than he
went, and when he fell he was as
dead as board. The weasel had
drawn all the blood out of his body.
A hint to the wise: wake up and
stay on the farm. All of this high
cost of living and high wages is just
the beginning of sorrow. Wake up
people, and begin to think.
Yours for the cause,

way. You give it, half the road, and
she slips by. But don't try to keep up
with it for your little Ford is unde-
cided whether to keep on the ground
or take to the elements. The big cal
rolls on at forty-fve, fifty and sixty
miles an hour and soon looks like a
speck in the distance. Though the
Maryland Motor Vehicle Laws say
thirty-fve miles is the limit. This is
one of the regulations that is often
overridden. Maryland's Motor We
hicle laws are very stringent and
more or less obeyed-mostly more.
An operators or chauffeur's IL
cense is generally revoked if an acci-
dent is caused by any carelessenss
on the drivers part. And only a few
dare to drive without license for
the fine or penalty is heavy. Opera

60c per horse power of car.
The turnpike from Washington to
Baltimore is in good condition, so are
her (Maryland's) other state roads.
Imagine yourself in the Union Sta
tion at Washington. Those of you
who have been there will recollect
a colossal dome which covers the
waiting room, ticket Offices and train
gates. But another story will cover
this because it is the roads we're dis
cussing now. In Italy, all roads lead
to Rome and in the United States, all
roads lead to Washington, but if st.
Louis were wet the slogan would al
ter.
The Pennsylvania rail road has
four-track bed-two tracks for
freight and two tracks for mail, pas
senger and express service. This line
has built up a wonderful reputation
and is known to it's passengers as
the "Pennsy." Her engines leave the
station hourly and connect with all
stations north and west running di-
rect to Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York. Also Pittsburg, st. Louis
and many other big cities. The B.
and O., takes in the same cities. The
Southern, S. A. L., an A. c. L.,
connect with all points south and run
direct to seaport cities north of
Washington.

Indian Head, Md,
January IA, 1920.

Dear Advertiser:
One mile below Indian Head, or
the Maryland side of the Potomac
where the grand old river winds in g
southerly direction, is an abrupt
bluff. Standing on this bluff one com.
mands a rare view of the Potomac
and the Virginia hills-far away. Al
this point the river is seven miles
wide and at this writing, is frozen
over from bank to bank.
The setting suns red skies cast a
similar hue over this scene which
well nigh reaches the sublime in ma
ture.
The steamer line from Washington
via Norfolk to Baltimore cuts road
way through this ice several times "a
week. Each steamer cuts its own
way for the gap freezes over before
the next ship follow in the trail. Pro
gress is slow, but an iron bound
steamer on an ice bound water is like
a Ford bound car on an Edgefeld
road.
I made the trip from Indian Head
to Washington and return few days
ago on the U. S. S. Moosehead, dis
tance of seventy-five miles in seven
hours.
Sometimes the steamer became
jammed, then she would back up
several feet and break the ice by ram
ming.
Out on the deck the wind blew a
little gale and the frigid ice drops
lashed the steamers sides and turned
to icicles as they fell.
The steamer was steam heated and
on the inside passengers sat around
with their wraps and overcoats off
enjoying the victrola and holiday
spirit and-prohibition spirit.
Ine SIaCe Oh maryland boasts some
good roads without brag. From
Washington to La Plata, a distnce of
twenty-five miles, there is a graded
dirt road with firm foundation. Not
so wide, but wide enough for two We
hicles to pass with a safety margin.

An Appeal For Charitable
Cause.

Mr.. Editor:
We have organized a charitable
Aid Institution over in Buncombe in
the town of Edgefeld. Its object is
to help the poor old, worn-out people
and orphans, regardless of color. A
man may have plenty of money but
there comes time in life when mon
ey will not answer the call. You will
need help otherwise. The Mount Ca
naan Union and the Convention gave
me fifteen dollars for this work
through Prof. A. w. Nicholson and a
white friend gave me fifty. God bless
the cheerful giver.

that only very rich men can be Pres
idential candidates under the direct
primary system. This system means,
inevitably means, political expendi-
ture. A poor man like Leonard Wood
can't get before the people unless
those who believe in him provide
funds for a campaign. The Borah-
Hearst-Lowden contention is thus
none other than that only plutocrats
shall hold high Office.
The Tribune dsplores money
spending and longs for the time
when voters will be so intelligent
and so fully informed on public
matters as to make campaigns un-
necessary; but this day has not yet
dawned, as every one knows and as
every one not hypocrite acknowl-
edges.
So far as corruption is concerned
the danger Of it is moro grave
when a candidate spends his own
than when he must rely on others
whose patriotism leads them to want
his promotion.
