A woman, Miss Mary E. Risteau.
was elected to the Maryland legisla-
ture last month. She describes her
self as farmer and a democrat"

KEEP UP
YOUR NERVE

No matter what the unfavorable
business conditions that prevail in the
larger centers of population, there is
no reason why we should react unduly
to them in this community.
We are self sustaining in every es-
sential way.
Our farming territory is capable of
producing all of the food that we de-
sire or can consume, and there is a
ready market for the surplus, even if
the price is not what could be desired.
Even if the Chinese wall were sud-
denly thrown around this country,
and all communications with the out
side world were cut off, there would
still be something for each of us to do.
True, we might be deprived of some
of the Injuries of life; but we could
exist very comfortably for time
and it is only question of time when
this stagnation III business will pass
away.
We can readily exchange the sur
plus that is produced in this commu-
nifty for the necessities that we do not
produce.
We have no thousands to be thrown
out of employment and become bur
| den upon the rest of the people.
We have no heavy expenditures
which reduced income will fail to
meet.
In fact, we have very little to COM
plain of.
/ We can not expect the goose to lay
a golden egg every day. We must ex-
pect little adversely in order that
we may more fully enjoy and be
thankful for the prosperity that does
come to us.
Keep a stiff upper lip. There is no
| occasion for the corners to sag.
They call them school teachers
through politeness, but in reality it
is the kids they teach.
These are the days when we. laugh
at the ice man and the coal man laughs
at us.

The New Maternity Bill

The day before Thanksgiving, Pres
ldent Harding signed the new matern-
lty bill which is meant to insure to
prospective mothers proper medical
counsel and attention at the time of
childbirth regardless of their finanei-
al circumstances.
The legislatures of six states fore
saw the passage of the bill at their
sessions of last winter and were SO
eager for it that they enacted stat
utes providing for cooperation with
the federal government in case the
law were passed AS a result. it is
already actually in effect in these
states. They are Delaware, Mime

For a Buttonhole Edge

When buttonholing an edge around
handkerchiefs, or tea napkins, draw
a single thread at the ends of the
basted hem. This will insure a per-

caused by the drawing of the thread
cannot be detected after the article
is Numbered.

A saloon keeper and one of his
helpers were murdered in Chicago a
few days ago for no greater reason
than that chair had been moved
from one table to another. The muir
derer was drunk on moonshine that
had been flowing freely in the saloon.
In the room at the time, Or within
a few minutes of the shooting, were
two judges, an assistant states attor-
ney, and big politicians and labor
leaders galore. The saloon is within
a few feet of the city hall.
The murder was an incident. They
| occur every day.
Selling moonshine in open violation
of the prohibition law was also but
an incident. 1t is being done every
hour of the day and night.
The presence of judges and other
officials in a den where liquor is openly
sold may also be only an incident
Possibly, also, when they swore to
uphold and enforce the laws of this
country they considered their solemn
oaths merely in the light of Incidents
! If We may be allowed to coin Lat
IN phrase of our own, it would seem
that this country is suffering from an
epidemic of paralyticus incidental.

Many people believe that Fatty Ar
buckle should at least have been sent
to prison for long term. Others are
emphatic in their opinion that he was
entitled to acquittal-that Virginia

Howe gave the man a few shillings
he was surprised to hear the beggar
ask his name and address. Some
time later Howe received an urgent
summons to go to a Sydney hospital
There he found the beggar, who told
of how he and three others had bur-
led their treasure, had sailed on to
Australia and had set out overland for
Sydney. On their way, blacks at
tackled them and killed two of the
sailors. The beggar and his surviving
companion, Brown, tried for years to
get a ship to go for the treasure but
never obtained money enough. Brown
finally disappeared and Killrain had
fallen into misfortune and knew his
end was near Therefore he gave
Howe the map Of the island, begged
him to believe the story true and to
search for the treasure. The follow
ing day the beggar died.
Since then Howe has been search
ing for the treasure and lately an
nounced that he had found it in a
shallow lagoon on Pinaki. Lately he
chartered a schooner at Papeete TO go
to lift the gold, after making a con-
tract with the Colonial government as
to his rights in the matter. 1t is said
the treasure is worth several million
dollars.

IN RUSSIAN TRADE
REPORTS IS CLAIM
fRv Associated Press)

BERLIN. July 14-Russian trade
has become 2. sort of will-o'-the-wisp to
European newspaper men and Amer-
can newspaper correspondents in the
European capitals. Scarcely a day
passes that some Bolshevist agenT
does not announce a gigantic contract
entered into by the Russian govern
ment with some great concern, usually
German or English corporation.
II all the locomotives and cars which
Russia has been reported to have con-
tracted for in the last year were de
livered. the former empire would re-
otlire additional trackage to accommo-
date them.
No Deliveries Made.
At one time an announcement was
made that 10000 locomotives were
contracted for in Germany alone
When the report was run to ground II
was learned that an actual deposit had
been made on a contract for Ice loco
motives. and IT cannot be learned that
anv of these have been delivered as
yet.
Bolsheyist agents also announced
contract for 10000 tractors had been
made with an American automobile
factory. The owner of this factory aG-
vised the Soviet agents that delivery
Of the tractors would begin as soon as
Bolshevist agents had Soviet gold
turned into Swedish coin and deposit
cd in a Stockholm bank. The tractors
we're not shipped, but the Soviet prop
agandists failed to herald that fact as
widely AS they did the signing of the
contract.
Refuse Acceptance.
One American concern which snip
ned 80 tractors to Reval without hav-
ing any deposit on them still has the
tractors in storage in Esthonia, and
there are no indications that the So
Wet officials will fulfill their agree
ment to take them.
Since the comercial agreements
were framed by the Bolsheviki with
Germany and Great Britain there has
been noticeable cooling of the Boz!
shevist foreign representatives toward
America. For the moment they pre-
tend 10 be extremely indifferent as &c
whether they establish closer trade
relations with America. But this Is
apparently not giving any uneaslnes'
to Americans who have actually beer
in contact with Bolshevist agents anc
have tried to close contracts on
strictly business basis.

discontinue the issuance of paper

said Mr.. Burleson. 1T is not reason
able to talk about foreign loans to

any prospect that it will be retired.
