Religious Census To
Be Taken March l4h.

The largest task ever undertaken
by a local church viii be when
thirty men and thirty women of
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, they will take the streets that
have been assigned them and call at
each home to ascertain the number
Of unchurched people there are in
Cambridge and at the same time
find out their church preference. No
unnecessary or embarrassing ques-
lions are to be asked, it is hoped that
this survey will show the name, ad-
dress and other information of every
Methodist, OF every person of Metho-
dist persuasion or preference and OF
every person having no church pre-
ference. One can see at a glance
what this survey will mean to all
the churches and what churches are
responsible for the Evangelization OF
the unchurched of our city. 1t is a
part of the plan of the great Centen-
airy Movement which has for its
prime object the evangelization Ii
the world in this generation, last
year you were called upon to give OF
your means, this year we are called
upon to give of our time and prayers
to reach the unsaved.
You will be doing your part in as
sisting these canvassers and CO
operating with them when they call
at your home by giving the desired
information as accurately as posi-
BILE. This is a crucial hour in the
life of mankind 1t is a time when
the people of God should unite in
the prayer OF the prophet of the old
en- time: 30 Lord revive thy work
in wrath remember mercy"
1t was hoped that this census
could be taken tomorrow, but on ac-
count of so much sickness it has
been postponed until Sunday March
14th.

Farm Accounts Help
Make Farming Profitable

Profitable farming today is a
business proposition and the success
full farmer must know the facts
about his business just as does any
other manufacturer. Will it pay?
How much did it cost to grow the
crop? What shall grow next year?
What was my profit last year and
how much do I owe the Income Tax
Collector are all questions that can
be answered by well kept set OF
farm records.
County Agent Davis has fifty SIM
pie yet complete farm record books
which he will give to the first fifty
farmers who apply for them free of
cost. The only requirement is that
the book be carefully kept during
1920. Drop in and talk it over at
the County Agents Office.

VOTE CAN BE SECURED
ON The BOND ISSUE
Law Passed At 1914 Session Enables
10 Per Cent. OF Voters To Call
For A Popular Vote On Any Local
Measure.

Congressman Andrews has called
our attention to the fact ten per cent
of the voters, under the law passed
at the 1914 session of the Maryland
LEGISLATURE, can secure a vote on
any law that may be passed by that
body, the only requirement belng
that the petition of the voters must
be filled before June 1st, at which
time all such laws go into effect.
The statement of Mr.. Andrews
follows
Because of the fact that there
seems to much agitation over the
proposed bond issue for roads and
school buildings, it occurred to me
that it would be wise thing to call
the attention of the taxpayers to the
fact that, under a recent amendment
to our State Constitution, ten per
cent of the voters in Dorchester
County may petition to the Secre-
fary of State, asking that said law
be referred to the voters of the coun-
ty for their approval or rejection.
should they reject it the effect is the
then the bonds would be issued;
should they reject it the tffect is the
repeal of the law"
with this right of referendum
the taxpayers can protect themselves
against this or any other law, should
1t develop after the enactment of the
same that the legislation is unwise. ="

few native redskins still left.

She went to the very edge Of the

SEEM TO HAVE HIDING PLACE
Knows, Temporarily Forgets and
Afterward Remembers?

One of the odd things about what
we call loss Of memory Is that IL is
catching. How often when one
person forgets name well known
10 him does his companion. TO whom
II Is equally well known, forget 1t, too.
Why Is that? te
The other day had an excellent
example OF this odd epidemic. 1t was
necessary for the name Of d certain
actor--not a star, but versatile
repertory actor Of much distinction
to be recalled Ia order that letter
TO him might quickly be dispatched.
I had forgotten his name. but ! de-
scribed him and his methods with
sufficient accuracy for every one
(there were about six Of us) to recog-
nIze him. Some Of us could even say
In what parts we had seen him and
compare notes as to his excellence,
and yet his name absolutely eluded
one and all. Whyi We all knew 1t;
why did we unanimously fail to know
Ii then?
We parted intent upon obtaining
this necessary Information. On meet
ing again the next day each Of US had
II pat enough. and 1t had broken upon
each. more or less suddenly, during
the night.
The great mystery to me Is,
where are the things one forgets, but
suddenly will remember again, while
one Is forgetting them? Where are
they lurking? This problem of their
whereabouts, their capacity to hide
and eiude. dlstresses me far more
than my inability to call them from
the Vastly deep Of the brain. Or are
they. perhaps, not there ut all? Do
they not. perhaps. have evenings out
times Off for lunch and SO forth. and
thus we sometimes miss them? Or
can there perhaps be some vast extra
mural territory OF the memory from
which facts have TO be obtained--as
II one would consult reference books
one must walt until the volumes can
be securedl The fact that they always
or nearly always. return, sooner OF
later. rather supports these theories.

CLAIM BLOOD OF ROMANS


The original gns-masked people OF

hara desert--a strange race. supposed
70 be descended from the Roman col
onists Of North Africa and the Arabs
who carried the standard Of Moham-

too. Tales are told Of white-walled
cities In the Tuareg lands. with Ro.
man theaters, circuses and baths still
standing M the Romans left them. and
now the haunt CT the Tuareg tribes
men.
The mystery that surrounds the
Tuaregs is doubled BY their custom Of
always going masked. A mask of
white or black cloth covers the mouth
and nostrils. and. so the Tuaregs say,
protects them from the dust and
windblown sand OF the desert. from
the poisonous yapors OF the Niger val
ieys. and, no doubt from the disease
germs which iioat 80 freely In the
filthy towns Of Africa. Certain Il Is
that Infectious diseases ravage other
North African people. while the Tua-
rega maintain magnificent health from
year to year. Few travellers have ever
seen the Tuaregs unmasked. Those
who have declare that they are ms
white rs any Europeans. and decidedly
handsome. their pale skins doubtless
being largely due to the mask which
keeps of the burning sun.

The "Wlnd- Month"

November was styled by the ancient
Saxons as wind-month. from the giles
which are so prevalent at this season
OF the year. and which made them
beach their boats and cease almost en-
tirely from maritime operations. II
bore also the name OF the bloody
month. from the circumstance of It's
being customary to slaughter great
numbers of cattle. TO be sailed for the
winter. November Is the eleventh
month OF the year. although its name
would Indicate that II was the ninth
month. This Is accounted for by the
change from the old calendar, which
began In March and not in January,
as our present calendar does.
