no buyers. By 10 A. M, more cattle
had come in and few buyers. BY
noon both stockyards were comfort
ably filled with cattle and business
began in a hesitating way, the prices
of last Court Day being sustained.
Good 800 lb steers 10 cents; 500 lbs
steers, 3 cents; 800 ID. steers at 6
cents; fat cows 9 cents; medium
cows and heifers, Z cents; Gamers, 4
cents. Very few passed over the
scales, sellers wishing to guess them
off, prefering not to sell than to run
risk Of losing on cost price in the
mountains. Buyers could not blame
them, for the stand, so guessed them
off by the head. There were about
u 200 head in the two stockyards,
for the biggest stock market in Ken

ing room for about 5000 cattle. The

HACERSTOWN PAPERS
CONSOLIDATED.

Formal announcement was made
in Hagerstown las tSaturday morn
ing Of the consolidation Of the Hag-
erstown Herald a morning daily, and
the Daily Mail, an afternoon daily.
The purchase Of he Mail was made
possible through financial support of
Lewis 7. Byron largely, although he
has transferred all but a small min
ority interest in the company to 9th
er members. The consolidation is
effective Immediately.
The announcement of the consoli-
dation says 'the arrangement is in
the interest of economy and efficien-
cy" and will make possible the
elimination of duplicate equipment. T"
Shortly after the announcement of
the consolidation it became known
that the Mail building, occupied by
the newspaper plant and office and
a number of other business firms. had
been sold to Owen D. Sherley, prop
rietor and owner of the Hotel Wv
ian. The Mail will move within the
next few weeks to the Herald build
ing where the publication of both
papers will be made.

HERBERT HOOVER.

We rather think that the Demo
cratic National Convention would not
nominate Herbert Hoover without
the knowledge that he was Demo
crat in fact as we'll as in principal.
That is, Herbert Hoover the indivi-
dual, could not be nominated, but
Herbert Hoover the representative
of issues and the exponent of ideals
could be.
We know some things about Mr..
Hoover, for instance, he urged the
whole country before the Congress
sional election of 1918 to support the
President. We also know he pos
sesses the international mind" and
that he favors the League of Nations
covenant without amendments or
reservations, and to our minds, this
is good Wilsonian as well as Quaker
democracy.
1t is nonsense to talk about Mr..
Bryan disrupting the Democratic
party, when it is known that the
Democratic National Committee and
our County Tammany are solidly be-
hind President Wilson.

An act not down on the program
was given without charge the other
day In the old seaport town of Mar
blehead, Mass, when four elephants
of q small circus, named with fine al
lied patriotism General Foch, General
Pershing, General Haig, and Princess
Pat, jumped stone wall, escaped the
circus, and took to the woods. The
personnel of the circus. acrobats,
riders, clowns and canvasmen, fol-
lowed, and so did many Of the towns
people and half dozen policemen,
but the elephants made for the woods
first and there they spent the day with
a large and appreciative audience
watching on the outskirts. Peanuts
and bananas, usually temptation to
elephants, failed to entice them from
their New England jungle; but as twi-
light fell, and habit suggested feed
ing time, the big beasts came peace
fully out Of the woods and allowed
the trainer and his assistants to lead
them back to the circus grounds. And
all Marblehead went home to belated
suppers.

MRS. UHL is FREED BY CUM
BERLAND JURY LAST SAT-
URDAY EVENING.

Mrs. Kate Uhl, the wife Of Melvin
Uhl, and the mother of two children,
who had been on trial two days for
the killing of Bryan Pownall, was
last Saturday afternoon found not
guilty by the jury in Cumberland
after one hours elaboration.
Overshadowing all else at the trial
was Mrs. Uhl's appearance on the
stand in her own defense. She an
swered all questions unhesitatingly
and told her version of the killing
and what led up to it. States Coun-
sci Zimmerman failed utterly in
shaking her testimony in an effort to
show generalization. She stood a
thorough gruelling for two hours.
The state tried to show she bought
the knife especially to kill Pownell,
but failed.

Pownall came in and finding her ~

How Laundering Affects Clothes.

After thirty washings with hard

with hard water than with soft water.
With soft water sodium silicate show

in luster and show a brilliant white
color by reflected light; goods wash

"earth torpedo" of Canadian origin,

The burrowing operation is hydraulic
The nose of the torpedo is equipped
with an ingenious boring nozzle, and
takes with it length of hose, which
a pump in the trench supplies with
water at 800 pounds pressure. This

MR.. LODGES BURDEN.

Day BY day The extent 81 Senator
Lodges personal responsibility for
me obstruction - shs tr aty of
peace with Germany, and the indefi-
mite prolongation of technical state
of war, is more clearly and convinc-
ingly revealed to the American peo-
pie. His handling of the latest nego-
tiations for prompt and amicable
adjustment of the differences be-
tween the friends and the foes of the
treaty and the League Of Nations ac-
centuates the already large measure
of Mr.. Lodges individual account
ability for disastrous delay.
1t was bitter personal enemy of
President Wilson rather than as Re-
publican leader of the Senate that
MIR. Lodge began his assaults on the
treaty. year ago. Even before Mr..
Lodge or any one else could possibly
have known the provisions of the
treaty and the covenant, he condemn
ed both in advance. In fact, he re-
versed his former position as an adj
vocate of League of Nations SEEM
ingly because he preferred to show
hostility to President Wilson than
remain consistent champion of in
ternational concord. When the
treaty and the covenant were finally
laid before the Senate, Mr.. Lodge
showed his determination to treat
them not as the product of America s
participation in tn epeace conference
but as the Presidents private pro-
posals.
AT every turn Senator Lodges
animus toward the President has in
spired and guided his dealings with
the treaty and the league. He has
encouraged the ''irreconcilable" Re-
publicans to become more implicable
he has persuaded sumo of the mild
reservationists" to show less friend
illness! he has sought by his blanish-
ments to win Democratic Senators to
the side of opposition.
1t would have been bad enough if
Mr.. Lodge had adopted these tactics
in the hope of obtaining advantage
for his party at the expense of his
country; but he has gone further
than that. Mr.. Lodge has not hest
tated to jeopardize the interests OF
the United States or to risk the solid
arity of his own party to crafty his
grudge against President Wilson. He
has impaired his prestige as politi.
cal leader to indulge his persona
pique and prejudice. He has made
the conflict over the treaty some
thing vastly more contemplate thar
a struggle between political groups
he has made it the occasion for vent
ing his personal spleen and spite.
In the light, then, Senator Lodge
stands today after the failure of the
latest attempts to compromise sena
torial differences with respect to the
treaty. While pretending to espouse
ratification with reservations Mr.
Lodge has fought all along in the
ranks of the defeatist. He won one
set of Republican Senators tt
STRONG reservations" and then, ap
parently, lest even these succeed, hi
played the game of the outright re
jectionists.
One thing Mr.. Lodge has made a!
plain as daylight. He has shouldereC
load of responsibility that his part!
doubtless soon will be quite willing
he shall carry alone.
