Sun-Military Moloch Condemned
The Cecil County Community Coun-
Gil was called to order by the Pres
ident in the Rising Sun Hall, on the
evening of March 9Th, with a fair
attendance of County and town peo-
pie present.
The President introduced Miss Myr-
tie Barger, of the Philadelphia Inter
state Dairy Council, who gave very
interesting and instructive lecture on
the value of milk as food. The &C
companying pictures and her accounts
of investigation into the value Of
milk left no doubt in the minds of
those present that this product of the
farm is not only the most complete
health giving food, but also the most
economical, even though it may cost
13c quart.
The lecture was followed by NOV
lie gotten up by the same organization
to help clinch the point, entitled "The
Fountain of Youth"
Our new County Agent, Mr.. Snarr,
was next introduced and told US Of
his hopes and aspirations for his work
in the County. Coming to us from
Hartford County, which has made for
itself such a record in boys club
work, he hopes to help our boys give
them some competition.
The roll call brought forth names of
new delegates from some of the or
CARNATIONS and about 16 delegates in
all responded Some of our county
farm organizations are not yet rep
resented in the Council.
The minuets Of last. meeting were
read and adopted.
The present officers were reelected
at this time, motion for the election
of treasurer from Appleton Grange
being lost, as there were not enough
members of that organization present
to even nominate a successor to Mr..
Kimble.
The treasurer's report was given
and Mrs. Reisler and Mr.. Fassitt were
appointed to audit same and report
later. They found it to be correct.
The Committee on Marketing were
not ready to give final report and
asked to be continued.
Report was made of the organiza-
ton in the county of Swine Breed
ers' Association with about twenty
members at present.
Mr.. j. H. Kimble, Port Deposit, in
troduced the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted.
Whereas, two years after world
exhausting war, with this nation al
peace, the military Moloch is absorb
ing $3.50 of all Federal Revenues.
And whereas, our Government de-
spairs of, levying sufficient taxes to
meet a $2,000,000,00O deficit when this
government is borrowing $2oO,Oo0,OOO
from month to month at per cent,
with which to meet current expenses,
when $500, 100000 Of Government
war obligations are coming due with
in the next two years, the war depart
ment having spent all and more than
all of the huge appropriation provid-
ed for it last year, brings en- a bill
for $76,278, 1877 extra for recruiting
campaign which increases this coun-
try's military expenditures to almost
$2,500,000 day, we believe this is
not necessary. and,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the Cecil County Community Council,
are in favor of limiting the standing
army to 100000 and n favor of the
Senate resolution urging Great Bri-
tain, Japan and the United States to
sign an agreement for so per cent
reduction in naval construction.
r. The following reply from Mr..
Caldwell was read: "Your Com
munication of Dec. 10th, to the
Board of Commissioners, in refer
ence to an electric light plant FOR

School, was presented to the
Board at our regular session on

funds, the Board was unable to
grant the request of the Ceci,,
County Community Council.
