Fine Piece OF Work

Last Sunday evening the pastor Of
the New Windsor Methodist circuit,
Rev. Parish, called up the chairman
for Near East Relief of Carroll county
and reported offerings of $3S0.00 for
the three churches of his circuit. Why
this splendid response? Among the
reasons there are two special ones.
First, New Windsor is always in the
front rank of the county districts in
a good work. Second, this pastor sat
in a state conference in Baltimore and
heard at first hand the account of con-
ditions, and what is being done over
there. AS a result he not only brings
"a fine response from his own charge,
but is willing to go to other places
and tell the story.
VIII every section of Carroll County
be active in this great work? 1t will
not make us poorer, but it will help to
make us worth while Now is the time
to work, and to work quickly. Let
there be more who will organize a
Club of Fifteen" Let us hear from the
lodges and societies of all kinds. Just
a little effort from each of a great
number, will bring a grand total re-
suit Do not let Christmas pass with
out doing something for Near East
Relief.

GAVE FATHER SUIT FOR EACH
CHILD BORN
Congressman After Buying II Calls
Contract on

For many years Representative
Small, of North Carolina, has by
agreement been presenting r. c.
Bland. a North Carolina farmer and
one>of his constituents, a new suit OF
clothes for each additional child in his
family.
Having presented thirteen suits and
being recently notified to send the
fourteenth. Representative Small has
informed Bland that the contract Will
be off, With Small's retirement from
congress on March 3.
Small and Bland made their COM
pact a number of years ago, when
Small was making campaign speech
AFT Robersonville, near there. Bland
then had twenty children; now he has
thirty-four.
Twenty-six of the thirty-fcur Bland
children are living, and the present
Mrs. Bland, BANDS second wife, is
the mother of nineteen, nine of whom
were born during the last ten years,
including one set of twins. Eighteen
children still live at home, but Mrs.
Bland declares she gets lonesome
sometimes because so many have
gone away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bland recently had a
group photograph taken of the family
still remaining on the Bland farm.
While the photographer was working
a buzzard cast it's shadow on the
ground. Bland was asked if he was
superstitious.
NO" he said, I'm not afraid of
buzzards, but at first / thought the
blame thing was stork."
Bland says it is no more trouble to
bring up fifty children than it is to
raise ten.
after you pass ten" he says, the
older ones are big help"
The children were not unusually
noisy, Bland said, although they
make considerable racket when four
teen were taken down together with
whooping cough" The Bland grocery
bill is equivalent to about $3.50 week.
although Bland produces a large part
OF his food On one occasion he says
he spent most of one night computing
the cost of keeping his family comfort
able, but that the figures reached such
alarming proportions he gave up the
Job.
