dians and giving even closer atten-
tion TO the incompetent Indians. that
they may the more readily achieve
competency Broadly speaking, pol
icy of grenter liberalism will hence
forth prevail In Indian administration
to the end that every Indian as soon
as he has been determined to be as
competent TO transact his own busi-
ness ns the average white man. shall
receive full control of his property and
have all his lands and moneys turned
over to him. after which he VIII no
longer be a ward of the government.
"This is : new and far-reaching
declaration of policy. 1t means the
dawn of new era in Indian admins
tration. 1t means that the competent
! Indian will no longer be treated as
half ward and half citizen. 1t means
reduced appropriations by the govern
ment and more self-respect and inde-
pendence for the Indian. 1t means
the ultimate absorption of the Indian
race into the body polite Of the ma
ton. 1t means, in short, the begin
ming of the end of the Indian prob
lem. In carrying out this policy. l
| cherish the hope that all real friends
of the Indian race will lend their aid
and hearty cooperation"
As fast MS they become competent
the Indians are placed on individual
footing, receive fee patents to their
lands, and nre turned loose" In
pursuance of this policy 1O.958 patents
have been issued in the last three

Mrs. Chas. Morris and Mr.. j. H
Kimble of Rising Sun. 1t sug-
gested that all might help the COM
mittee by having their respective or
CARNATIONS send copies OF suitable
resolutions to them to present to the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Reisler told of the experience
of the Cecil Grange in buying binder
Irvine and clover seed.
The next meeting, which comes the
second Tuesday in September, it was
suggested should be public meeting
and held at such place as the execu-
tive committee may think advisable.
AS this is a County affair we should
aim to get the interest and cooper
alton of the whole County.
Mr. Bomberger brought us a full;
program of work and suggestions re-
minding us however, that we must
not expect too great things right at
the start of such an organization a.
ours. We should find some one or
two things that need TO be done and
get together on them and thus make
a beginning. He reminded us that
the whole end and aim of the EXten-
sion Department is to make better
boys and girls.
To do this we must have more
efficient farming and the Extension
and Demonstration Departments are
at our service. To be most effective
they should have the cooperation OF
the local organizations as group has
a much wider influence than indivld-
uals. The County Agents can also
be of more service when working
with groups than with individuals.
Better roads and better schools
should also claim the attention OF
such organizations as ours as well
as boys and girls clubs throughout
the County.
1t was suggested that it only calls
for about half cent tax on 500 to
pay the expenses of County Agents.
We were advised to work up an
outline of work and with the aid and
suggestions of our constituents, get
down to something definite as soon
as practicable.
The Executive Committee will be
called together by the president at
an early date to go over plans and
programs left by Mr.. Bon5erger,
whose advice and help at this time
was much appreciated.
Then adjourned to meet the rec
ond Tuesday in September at such
place as the Executive Committee
shall suggest SECRETARY.

TOO MUCH MONEY.

Sometimes we wonder-if it is good
for the American people to have SO
much money. OF course the natural
instinct of man is to accumulate as
much money as possible, and money
is decided necessity these days. But
it is possible to have too much OF a
good thing. The war has made
America fabulously rich, the envy OF
all nations. Men who in 1914 Ia.
nothing now are comfortably we'll OIL.
Others who had modest sum six
years ago are now rolling in wealth.
The result? You see it every day
In the cities it is more apparent than
in the country towns. In the big
cities no manufacturer will produce,
no middleman will distribute, and no
merchant will sell an article at
reasonable profit. All seem TO want
to get rich quick. Employees de-
mand prohibitive wages, work about
as they please and in many cases are
becoming about as inefficient as coulo
be imagined. Instead of the employ
err being the master of his own busl
ness, his hired help practically tells
him where he gets off. The wal
produced the profiteer, and for TIT
sake of easy money he refuses to
loosen his grip upon the country
Buildings are thrown together in a
slip shod manner and inferior ma
terials are used, all for the sake OF
rutting expenses and increasing
profits to abnormal. In the manu-
featuring world it is the same.
Quality is sacrificed for profits, OF
where quality does prevail the price
becomes almost pI ohibitive. Or
course there are some exceptions to
this rule, but the exceptions are few
and difficult to find. The ease with
which money has been accumulated
during the past six years has p!o-
duced this state of affairs. 1t is not
conducive of the future welfare OF
our country. But we have faith in
America and in American people.
We are in the temporary grip OF a
historical mania for the rapid ac-
emulation of wealth, but we believe
that this mania will pass away in
time and permit return to the sane
and rational methods which prevail
ed prior to the outbreak of the war.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
if you skip meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as t.
give the food ample time to diges,
and the stomach period of rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then il
you eat no more than you crave and
take a reasonable amount of outdoor
exercise every day you will not need
to worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, thai
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it

Miss Wotring was appointed execu

however that her term expires this
month and as yet no plans have
been made to continue the Office OF
the County Agents. Mr.. Kimble
presented a budget which he had
prepared and thought would cover
the actual expenses of the office and
by unanimous approval the follow
ing committee appointed by the
president was asked to wait on the
County Commissioners and urge
that the appropriation be granted so
that we may continue to have the
services of the County Agent and

The threatened general strike of
railroad workers, fixed quietly to be
in full swing by Sunday last, appear
ed to peter out, as no countrywide
move of the sort was made, as
promised.
Despite the action of approximate
ly 1900 Baltimore workmen in vot-
ing Saturday night to strike, the
great majority of railroad workers
throughout the country failed to
heed the strike call of unknown
origin.
The rank and file of workers have
decided to await the wage decision
of the Railroad Labor Board before
taking action, it is believed.
The Railroad Labor Boards wage
decision will be announced ION OF

tent than lectures, the State Agri

direction of DR.. Thomas B. Symons

A program of the work which the
Extension Service specialists are pre-

details of arranging for the demon
stration work and of selecting the
