whose terms of Office expired Tuesday
were reelected. They are as follows: L.

Diamond. Jr. Windsor W. Hodges and
Parker L. Weller. Three directors-at-large
were also reelected: C. L. Gilpin, W. M.
Magruder and W. W. Moore.
In spite of the persistent opposition Of
the Extension Service of the State College
to the name Of Farm Bureau" there was
but one vote in favor Of changing the
name. The organization is already proving
its ability to get what 1t wants. The name
Farm Bureau is attracting much favorable
attention through the country. about 80
States already joining in the American
Federation Of Farm Bureaus. Montgomery
is the first county in Maryland to line up
directly and openly with the national
movement.

Death OF william Dorsey.

In the death of Mr.. William Dorsey Mont
eomery county loses another of its most
respected and reliable men. Mr.. Dorsey's
death occurred Thursday Of last week as
he was burning leaves near his beautiful
home, in the vicinity of Rockville, and he
had already fallen asleep in the arms Of
Death when discovered by his wife and
Granddaughter.
Mr.. Dorsey was born in Carroll county.
Md, in 1648. and was related to the Dor
seys of both Carroll and Howard. He has
spent thirty-one years of his life in Mont
gomery where he has operated large
farm In most successful manner. In recent
years, though retiring from active labors on
his farm. he has continued to take lively
interest in all matters looking forward to
the improvement of farm conditions. nor
would his great energy allow him to remain
totally inactive. He continued to do little
tasks about his home and he was at work
when Death claimed him.
The funeral service evidenced the high
position Mr. Dorsey had gained in the
hearts Of the community. Sorowing friends
came from far and near till his large home
was crowded with those assembled to pay
their tribute of love. The Scripture lesson
was read by Rev. Willard F. Minnick, Of
the Episcopal Church, while Rev. P. Row
land Wagner. of the Baptist Church, deliv-
cred the last remarks over the body of the
deceased. Mr.. Dorsey having been men,
Der of the Baptist Church for some years.
His body was laid to rest in Rockville
Union Cemetery. his pallbearers being CON-
posed of men whom he had known best
during his stay here.
Mr.. Dorsey leaves behind him host Of
friends who shall remember long and miss
much his geniality, kindness, industry and
ability. and they all join in heartfelt sympa-
thy for those two-his wife. Mrs. Gertrude
Lyddane Dorsey. and his granddaughter |
Katharine-who must continue to bear in |
their hearts the Loneliness unspeakable"
till the long night 10 past.
Nov the Laborer's task Is DER;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyaeer at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping"

A Hundred Men On An Island.

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner.
Put 100 men on an island where fish is
a staple article of sustenance. Twenty
five of the men catch fish. Twenty-Five
others clean the fish. Twenty-Five cook the
fish. twenty-five hunt fruit and veeeta-
Bile. The entire company eat what thus Is
gathered and prepared.
So long as everybody works there is
plenty. All hands are happy.
Ten OF the allotted fish catchers stop
catching fish. Ten more dry and hide
part Of the fish they catch. Five continue
to catch fish. but work only part of the
day at it.
Fewer fish 60 into the community kitchen.
But the same number Of men insist upon
having the same amount Of fish to eat as
they had before. The so men who form
erIy cleaned and cooked the fish have less
to do owing to the under-supply Of fish.
But they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid upon
the fruit and vegetables hunters. These
insist upon larger share Of the fish in
return for their larger efforts in gathering
fruit and vegetables. 1t is denied them
and soon 20 of the rs quit gathering fruit
and vegetables.
But the entire 100 men continue to in
sist upon their right to eat.
The daily food supply gradually shrinks.
The man with two fish demands three
bananas in exchange for one Of them. The
man with two bananas refuses to part with
one for fewer than three fish.
Finally the 10 men remaining at work
quit in disgust. Everybody continues to
eat. The hidden fish are brought to light
and consumed. Comes day when there
is no food of any kind. Everybody on the
island blames everybody else.
What would seem to be the solution
Exactly We thought you would guess 1t.
For we repeat that you can't eat, buy.
sell. steal. give away. hoard. wear. use
play with or gamble with what isn't.

Tears of sorrow silent flow,
Fond memory keeps our father near us.

Has only gone before.

In MemOrlam.

In sad but loving remembrance Of Mrs.
Charles G. du Fief. who departed this life
one year ago today. March %. 1919.
II was an early morning hour.
One year ago today,
The ANGEL of death came down to earth
And took our loved one away.
She will never be forgotten,
And never shall her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the 9rave where she was laid.
Sleep on, dear one, and take thy rest.
God called you home, He thoughtit best,
He saw your suffering here so Great.
He opened wide the golden gate
A DEAR FRIEND.
In sad but loving remembrance Of my
darling son. John F. Swartzbeck 3rd. who
departed this life February 6. 1920. aged
year. month and 10 days.
Oh, for a look OF that sweet little face.
A word from his dear little lips,
To see once again our darling baby.
Whom God has taken away.
Flowers wither, leaves fade and die,
Though others forget, yet never shall !.
My heart today Is heavy, my thoughts are
all OF thee.
How love you and miss you none but
God can see.
HIS LOVING MAMA.
In sad but loving remembrance Of our
dear father. George F. Crown, who departed
this life at his home at Derw0od. Md, OF
heart disease, on March 18th, 1920. aged
rs years. He was laid to rest In the
family graveyard at Derwood. He was
the father Of twelve children. six Of whom
survive him. He was loved by all who
knew him. Gone but not forgotten.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still,
But death has left vacant place
This world can never fill.
No matter how heavy our loss.
No matter how GREAT our despair.
II makes heaven nearer and dearer,
To know our dear father Is there.
Rest on, dear father. and take your rest
God called you home. He thought II best
He saw your suffering here was great.
And opened wide the golden gate.
In Derwood sweetly sleeping.
Where the trees their branches wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly
In his lonely, silent grave.

Added to this will be the scar
/ citv of food. IF farmers lose
their help they can not produce
the food necessary to feed the
cities and the country towns
A country town is dependent
largely upon Ehe farming commu-
nifty adjacent to it. If those
farms become non-productive
for lack Of help the country town
is a heavy sufferer.
And that is the condition in
which we fear we will soon find
ourselves in the country towns.
The insanity Of the cities has
done it's work only too well.
If that insanity is checked in
time disaster may yet be avoided
but if not checked soon the crash
will inevitably come-and then
the deluge.
! Wholesale assininity has never
yet been known to produce any
i permanent beneficial results
|. But it has toppled kings from
their thrones, overturned repub-
lies, and let loose the widest
passions Of ungovernable mobs
The rural population Of Amer
lea is not overjoyed at the pros
lpect the cities have forced upon
the nation we revere.
