Tr housing situation in Hamilton
has become so serious that general

to organize a campaign to aid in fl

One of the chief difficulties appears
to be a lack Of sufficient money in the
building associations to meet the de,

1t now seems settled that the Ford
plant Will employ 1000 people before
the end Of this year, and when they
begin to come into the city the house
situation will become steadily worse
At least 600 new houses must to

The general committee has decided
to put on a campaign on Tuesday and
Wednesday, January 20 and 21, at

A WORD TO CORRESPOND

One of the greatest regrets I
have is that I am unable to an
swer all the good letters that I
get from my friends all over
these Benighted States. Right
now I have perhaps a hundred
letters on my desk that ought
by all means to have an answer,
but many of them will never get
it. These friends no doubt think
/ am a poor business man or I
would answer their letters. Well,
I admit it. But what can a fell
low do when he CAN'T do?
There is only one of me, and I
have so much else to do that
my correspondence has to be
neglected. So if you have writ
ten and don't get a reply, please
understand that this is the reas-
on--I just don't have time. But
[ appreciate your letters just the
same, so let them come right
along.

"BLUETS AND BUTTERCUPS"
A Little Book of Verses by
Cora Wallace Pearson.

We love the rose, and all the IA
-vorite cultivated blossoms-yet the
modest little duets and b~uttercups,
and other wild flowers of the wood
land, also please us. Beautiful
thoughts expressed in rhythmical rime
and musical meter are the word-foW-
ers God has given us for the enjoy
ment and recreation of our minds and
hearts, just as the color and fragrance
Of the rose and other flowers were
given for the enjoyment Of our phys
ica1 senses
Real poets, like James Whitcomb
Riley Cor your own James Larkin
Pearson, for instance) are capable of
producing poetical "posies" of the
rose type-but I lay no claim to such
capabilities. But you will be pleased
with my "Bluets and Buttercups,"
and I will be pleased to get your or
der for a copy. Price Is cents coin.

MORE IMITATORS.

Since Adam and Eve edited
'"The Fig Leaf" in the Garden
Of Eden, there never has been
a paper that had as many imi-
tators as this-here Fool-Killer of
mine. Two or three have swiped
the actual name and tried to
start something, while others
have taken part of the name OF
selected words that sounded like
it, in an effort to benefit by my
papers popularity. Some have
tried to initiate my style Of wrl-
ting, but no one has ever sue
ceeded, and no one ever will. I
don't quite understand it myself,
but there seems to be something
about my fool CAB that just can't
be initiated. The people are
quick to detect the difference be-
tween the real thing and. a cheap
imitation. Therefore none of the
pretenders have succeeded. They
just naturally peter out in a few
weeks, and then some other two
legged monkey bobs up and tries
it again. The latest to reach this
office is ''The Sin Killer" which
GENES from Hemphill, w. Va. It
is a very Orthodox Methodist
sheet and don't know the war of
1861 is ended.

BREAKING AND MENDING.

No doubt you have read in the
papers and magazines a great
deal about the woodworking
surgery that was developed du-
ring the war. You have read
about how the doctors could take
a man whose face had been en-
tirely shot away, and how they
would graft in new flesh and
bone and build him a new face
just as good as his old one-if
not better. Something like that
has actually been done in thous-
ands of cases. It is a great
achievement of science, to be
sure, and it ought to be useful in
cases of accident or unavoidable
injury.
But, law sakes, honey, that is
MT what they want it for. The
surgeons and scientists are de-
veloping this new science of face
grating for use in future wars.
All right. Now turn around
and look luther way. Over yon-
der is another bunch of scien-
fists, and they are hard at work,
too. What are they doing? Why,
tbless yer gizzard, they are in
venting new explosives and
studying out new ways of blow
ing mems faces off, to say moth
ing of heads, arms, legs, stom-
achs, and SO forth. You see.
they are afraid the doctors will
not have any mutilated men to
practice their grating skill on
unless the fine art of blowing
men to pieces continues to ad-
vance. Therefore they must in
vent newer and better methods
OF breaking men to pieces in or
der to keep the surgeons busy
mending them.
Now I would just like to know
what all that big carrying-on
amounts to anyhow? What good
does it do? Why wouldn't it be
cheaper and better to just let
the men keep their own original
heads, faces and limbs while
they've got them? That is the
way it will be managed if the
world ever gets civilized.

AS YOU LIKE IT.

an essay on Shakespeare. But
read it, and then call it what
ever you please.
The big plute magazine called
the Woman's Home Companion
is just busting it's b%elly-band
trying to be nice and accommo-
dating to the woman voters. 1t
has established a bureau of in
formation" and offers to send
on request the literature of Ell
ther of the two plute parties.
If a woman thinks she wants
to be a Republican fool and vote
for Harding, the Companion will
very obligingly send her a ton
OF two Of Harding literature
showing that "McKinley's shad-
der" is a right smart better than
Jesus and that the Democrats
are meaner than the devil. But
if the woman voter is naturally
inclined to be a Democratic fool,
then the Companion will very po-
litely change ends with itself and
send her a few tons of the Dem
ocratic dope, praising Cox to the
skies and cussing out the whole
Republican shebang.
It reminds me of the school
teacher who advertised that he
would teach that the earth was
round or fiat, whichever the pat
rons of the school desired.
Now please tell me this:
If all that the Republicans say
about the Democrats is true, how
can a magazine that has any con-
science send out Democratic lit
erature? On the other hand. if
all that the Democrats say about
the Republicans is true, how can
it afford to send out the Repub-
lican slop? IF they are both tel
ling the truth on each other they
are both as mean as the devil;
and if they are both telling lies
on each other they are as mean
as the devil anyhow. And so |
| want to know how an honest
magazine can take a hand in
helping either of them?
The answer is plain and easy:
The Woman's Home Compan-
ion knows perfectly we'll that
Harding and Cox both represent
the identical same thing-they
both endorse the present capital
istic system which has brought
the world to the brink Of ruin
and that is exactly what the
Woman's Home Companion. and
all of it's kind are in favor Of.
They WANT this hell-6n-earth
to continue. And they know
that it makes no difference which
of the two is elected, because Big
Business will rule the roost and
the poor will suffer just the
same.
But I notice that there is
nothing said about any Debs lit
erature in this plute magazines
offer. No mans! That side--o of
it is ignored just as completely
as if it didn't exist. They sim
ply give you your choice of two
political roads that both lead to
the devil, and if you are con
trary enough to want to go some
other way-Well, you will Just
have to find the road for yourself
and get there any way you can,

What would George Washing

Read the history of John
Wilkes in England and you will
know how the Albany case will

It isn't a question Of how much
you know, but how much of it is
true. It's better to know a little
truth than a whole heap Of lies.
Jevver read any Of Amy Low

getting so used to having the

If Sweet, Sour & Co. know SO
much more about who ought to

Why didn't they just appoint

Frostburg Miner to be Standard Bear
er of Party In Sixth District.


The Socialists of the Sixth Congress
sional District of Maryland, in con-
vention at Nickels Hall, Frostburg,
Saturday afternoon, nominated Noah
S. Twigg, a miner of Frostburg, for
Congress. Mr.. Twigg is financial

Mine Workers of America, and secre-
tary of the Allegany Trades Council.
Resolutions were adopted demand
ing public ownership of all mines, rail
and water ways, mills, factories and
other public utilities; denouncing the
Cummings-Esch bill as vicious and
calling for its repeal, and demanding
the immediate unconditional release
of all political prisoners and consci-
entious directors with restoration of
full citizenship.
The platform adopted reaffirms al
legiance to the principles of interna-
tional socialism. 1t calls for tire I'M
qualified right Of workers to strike,
boycott and picket and demands the
enactment and enforcement of laws
against profiteering. The platform
contains in the main the planks as
adopted in the national platform.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ARE
PLACED IN NOMINATION
Ten Speeches Made In Behalf Of AS
pirants Take Up Days Work.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 30-After
hearing ten candidates placed in nom
ination for the Presidency, the Demo-
cratic National Convention, following
an eight-hour session today, recessed
until II o'clock tomorrow.
John w. Davis, of West Virginia,
Ambassador to Great Britain, was the
only man on the list of those for whom
nominating speeches were to be made,
who was not reached on the days pro-
gram. The candidates placed in NOM
nation were Senator Owen, of Okla
homa; Attorney; General Palmer, Sem
ator Hitchcock, of Nebraska; Homer
5. Cummings, chairman of the Ma
tional Committee; William G. McAdoo,
Governor Smith, of New York: Gov
ernor Edwards, Of New Jersey; Sec
rotary Meredith; Governor Cox, Of
Ohio, and James w. Gerard, former
Ambassador to Germany.
The big demonstration of the day
came with the presentation of Pal
mer, Cox and McAdoo, although there
was spontaneous outburst with the
presentation of Governor Smith.
The Cox and Palmer demonstrations
were fully expected and looked for,
but the McAdoo nomination coming
after days of uncertainty as to
whether nominating speech was to
be made for him or not added an ele-
ment Of interest and surprise. 1t was
easily the loudest, longest and most
tumultuous one and kept the conven-
ton in an uproar for the best part Of
an hour.
DR.. Burris jenkins, of Kansas City,
who was ready to place the former
Secretary of the Treasury in nomi-
nation, finally decided to yield to the
wishes of Mr. McAdoo and not make
a nominating speech for him. He
simply explained the situation to the
| convention in one of the shortest
speeches on record and merely placed
Mr.. McAdoo in nomination fully as
sured that 'if drafted for the service
of the nation" he would not refuse
| the nomination.

A BAD LOT OF PEA SEED
SOwn In Garrett County And The
Crop VIII BE Unfit For Canning

SOwr In Garrett County And The
Crop viii BE Unfit For Canning
Mr.. James A. fowler, County Agent
for Garrett county, has furnished The
Republican with the following state
ment in connection with the growing
of peas by the Garrett county farmers
who have contracted with a canning
company to take over their crops:
"The pea harvest around Mount
Airy-Frederick and Carroll counties
is about over. The county agent
was called down to that point last
week by Mr.. Fooks, manager of the
Mount Airy Canning Company, and
was advised that the Alaska peas were
not turning out well, due to a poor
lot of seed gotten from Idaho. The
seed was badly mixed and did not
ripen evenly. The first lot of seed
shipped to Garrett county was from
the same lot that came from Idaho.
SO Mr. Fooks feels that the same
trouble will be found here and in order
not to have the people disappointed
in the yield he has asked NE to tell
those who got the Alaska (smooth
pcas) seed to do what they wish
with them and no charges will be
made for the seed. He does not feel
that it will pay to can them. They
may be plowed under as green ma
nure or cut for hay. They make a
splendid hay for COWS or sheep; also
good green manure crop. Mr.. Fooks
received q thousand bushels of the
Alaska seed from Idaho and they have
all proven to be poor. He says it will
mean a loss Of $4,000 to him besides
4 great disappointment in not having
the peas, but he is not asking any
one to share the loss with him and is
simply giving the seed to those to
whom they have been distributed.
Those who received the Horseford
garden (wrinkled) peas got good seed
and Mr.. Fooks wants them to stand
until they are ripe, when he will come
to Garrett county, notify the growers
when to cut and then can them. SO all
who got the wrinkled peas will please
let them stand until they are ripe.
