GOTT AND JONES
RIVALS FOR MAYOR

Although the biennial municipal
election will be held on Monday of
next week little interest apparently
is being shown among the electorate,
yet a good deal OF active work is be-
ing done by the candidates OF the re-
spective parties for the several offices
10 be filled, especially in an effort 10
get out as heavy a vote as possible.
4 Mayor, Counselor. and eight Alder
men-two from each of the four wards
are to he elected. and both parties
have complete tickets in the field.
= 1t would he difficult TO forecast the
result owing 10 tho fact that the re-
cent new registration of voters for
Annapolis, fell considerably short OF
the enrolment compared 10 last FAN.
The Democrats claim that they are
about 200 ahead on affiliated registra-
tion, and feel confident OF success for
their whole ticket. excepting OF
course. the aldermanic candidates in
the fourth ward. which is always heav-
ily Republican because or the large
colored vote there. The Republicans,
on the other hand. claim they have
an even chance of success for the
head OF the ticket. and that they may
make gains in the voting for alder
men, particularly in the third ward.
They also say there will be more inde-
pendent voting this time than ever
before But from all indications, tho
drift seems 10 be in favor of the
Democrats.
The Democratic candidates last
night held a meeting In the Office of
Winson c. Colt. candidate for Mayor,
and discussed the situation from every
angle. and mapped plans for the few
remaining days of the campaign.
Among the rank and file OF the
voters. one hears a good deal OF talk
that there will be cutting" this. or
that candidate. for one reason or an
other Just what this will amount to,
however. is purely a matter of conjec-
ture. and probably all told amounts

"DOLLAR-A-WEEK-CLUB"

Are you a member of the club that has
the largest membership Of any club in
America?
If not, we would suggest that you join
at once, SO that you can reap the benefits
of the 1921 War Savings Certificate. Are
you aware that sixty-fve of every 100 per-
sons dying in this country have absolutely
no estate, they die penniless. Of the re-
naming thirty-6ve persons, twenty-five
never accumulate more than ST, 800 in their
lifetime and die with less than that. Only
nine persons in 100 have more than $4,000
when they die.
Only two per cent of the whole popula-
ton may be classed as "well-to-do." The
other ninety-eight per cent of the people
of this country have only their wages from
day to day, or are dependent upon rela
tives or upon charity. Of every hundred
persons who reach the age of sixty-fve,
no fewer than ninety-seven are partly or
wholly dependent upon relatives, friends
or charity for food, clothing or shelter.
These figures are not mere estimates.
They are taken from the Government CEN
sus statistics and are arranged and given
out by the president of the American
Society for Thrift, society organized by
some representative business men who see
real danger to our nation in the Ameri-
can tendency to wastefulness
We have many inmate members of the
"dollar-a-week-club They have formed
a habit that will prove to be of inestim-
able value to them. Get the habit, join
the club. DO 1T NOW.

THE WINNERS

l don't mind the man with red-blooded
kick,
At real or fancied wrong;
l can stand for the chap with the Crouch,
if he's quick
To drop it when joy comes along;
have praise for the fellow who says what
he thinks,
Though his thoughts may not fit with
mine,
But spare me from having to mix with
the ginks
Who go through the world with a
whine.
l am willing to listen to sinner or saint
Who is willing to fight for his rights
And there's something sometimes in an
honest complaint
That the soul of me really delights,
For kickers are useful and grouches are
wise,
For their purpose is frequently fine,
But spare me from having to mix with the
Who go through the world with

MIRRORETTES

Mass was celebrated in the chapel
Sunday morning.
Two holidays in November makes it
"a popular month at this institution.
-Apropos, the coil boom" mentioned in
our last issue. The bubble burst. What
we took for an coil derrick" was the tower
used to clean globes in the dining room.
-Armistice Day was observed as holi-
day and the inmates were granted the
privilege Of the corridors in the morning.
A special motion picture show was also
given in the auditorium, consisting of
a fve-reel, comedy drama, "a Damsel in
Distress" Capellani production, featuring
June Caprice; and two-reel, Harold
Lloyd comedy, Haunted Spooks," Pathe
distributors of both productions. We wish
to extend our thanks to the management
for the pleasure afforded.
Snow: AS l looked up and saw the
snow falling thick and steadily, it thrilled
me. l have never really reconciled my
self to the realization of it, it is always
more and more wonderful to me. The
gentle, easy, graceful way in which it
falls, covering with beautiful white
blanket, the havoc wrought by the frosts.
What a wonderful thing is nature. We
talk of, and extoll the works performed
by man, but how insignificant they are
when compared to nature. No artist ever
lived that produced anything half so won
derful as a snowflake. To see one under
microscope, is to see something so won
derful, so beautiful, so delicately formed,
that words are inadequate to describe the
marvels revealed.
