A DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF THE
PEACE CONFERENCE.

Senator Swanson (Dem., Va.,J
correctly characterized the confer
ence on the limitation of ornaments
and voiced the hopes and beliefs Of
his party and large majority of the
American people in the following
extract from recent address on
that subject delivered on the floor
of the Senate:
"a more important conference has
not assembled since the nations of
the world met at Versailles to ne
gotiate peace and devise the terms
for world adjustment. Around this
conference clusters the hope of a
disturbed and apprehensive world.
Upon the craftsmanship displayed
by these conferees depends the flu
ture peace of the world and it's safe
and sound reconstruction. May it's
deliberations be guided by wisdom
commensurate with it's responsible
tiles. Every effort should be maze
to make its conclusions wise and
successful. Nothing should be done
to add to its embarrassment and in
crease its difficulties. The nations
here assembled should discuss mat
ters frankly and in a spirit of con-
Citation and cooperation. If this
conference adjourns without accom-
plishing the purposes for which it
was called, it will be dark day in
the annals of the world. Better
that it had never been called than
to have it fail. If no agreement is
reached as to limitation of arma-
ment, the nations here assembled
will depart with increased distrust
and suspicion, to be followed by in
creased armies and navies, with all
their attendant burdens. But dis
armament, the main purpose of the
conference, can be accomplished
only when national differences are
settled and national confidence re-
stored. The just rights of each
nation should be fully recognized,
and all unjust demands firmly re-
sisted. A settlement to be perman-
ent must be just. We should first
convince those here assembled that
we have no selfish purpose to serve;
that we seek only common good for
ourselves and the rest of the world
There are many difficulties confront
ing the conference, but / believe
with proper forbearance and con-
cessions they can be successfully
settled"

Finance Corporation for funds for a
term of one year and renewable to
three years.
Zone of the drawbacks in Mary
land. perhaps will be the narrow
margin of profit, allowed banks or
cooperative associations, says DR..
Bomberger. "Under the amend
ment they will not be permitted to
charge interest in excess of the
legal State rate"
AS the legal rate of interest in
Maryland is per cent and as ad-
vances from the War Finance cor
poration will probably carry from
5 " per cent to per cent interest
there will be little or no margin of
profit in the transaction.
DR.. Bomberger, however, is of the
opinion that rural banks which are
really DESTROYS of aiding legitimate
operations in their
communities can we'll afford, when
necessary, to extend special accom-
during present trying
and that eligible CO.
operative associations should not
expect to profit at the expense of
their members.

INSPECT ALL WET STATEMENTS
Remember How Often the VETS

the PeOnle

Remember How Often the Vets
Have Attempted to Fool
the People.
Be suspicious Of wet statements.
Be suspicious of any statement made
in opposition to the prohibition law
The whole record of Wet prop
uganda is a mass of hoaxes, fakes
and falsehoods.
Do you remember that the vets
said that there would be a great
labor strike when prohibition came
into effect? mo beer-No work
was the motto. There was no labor
strike.
Do you remember that the vets
said they were going to have
parade of hundreds of thousands
against prohibition on July 4th?
One of the New York Represent
atives said in Congress: .'The citi-
zens of the great city Of New York
will, ON July 4th next, have the
greatest parade in her history OF
magnificent parades, of approx
mately ~one million citizens as a
solemn protest against the further
encroachment on their personal lib
erty." The one million citizens so
magnificently promised dwindled to
1892, most of whom were foreign
ers
When the people who are conduc-
ting the propaganda against prohi-
bition die we are willing to risk the
prediction that Ananias and Sap
phira will meet them with open
arms.
The statement that prohibition
was ''put over" on the people is one
of their falsehoods..
The statement that it has not the
support of the American people is
another falsehood.
The statement that it was put
over by taking advantage of a war
situation is falsehood.
The statement that millions of
American homes have home-brew
outfits is another falsehood.
The statement that prohibition
has increased drug consumption is
false.
The statement that prohibition is
not accomplishing any good for the
country is the falsest statement of
all.
Do not let these people put any
thing over on you. When they use
figures that apparently are unfavor-
able to prohibition, you will always
find that they are based upon trick
cry or are manufactured. for the pur-
pose.
1t may be possible that they want
to tell the truth sometimes but they
cannot do it even if they want to.
Their tongues have become too
twisted and their typewriters too
well attuned to the false.

A FEW THOUGHTS FOR THE
HUNTERS.

Last week saw the opening of the
hunting season, and from all re-
ports game abounds all through the
forested sections of the State. The
past summer seems to have been
especially favorable for the develop
ment of broods of young quail.
Good sport is promised for all
devotees of the gun. To the true
sportsman, however, there are GER
tain obligations that go with the
sport. OF prime significance is the
necessity of care with fire in the
woods. A little camp fire left un-
extinguished, a careless match or
cigarette butt thrown among dry
leaves may start a forest fire that
will sweep over vast areas and be-
sides doing great damage to- the
young timber, will kill the very
game that the forest shelters.
There are six lookout towers,
sixteen Forest Patrolmen, and over
two hundred Forest Wardens in
Maryland, all working together to
protect Maryland's forests from fire
Let every hunter as he takes out
his license, solemnly pledge himself
TO help make Maryland's forests
safe from fire,

PRESIDENT HARDING ON
PROHIBITION.

''In every community men and
women have had an opportunity now
to know what Prohibition means
They know that debts are more
promptly paid, that men take home
the wages that once were wasted in
saloons; that families are better
clothed and fed, and more money
finds its way into the savings banks.
The liquor traffic was destructive of
much that was most precious in
American life. In the face of so
much evidence on that point what
conscientious man would want to
let his own selfish desires influence
him to vote to bring it back? In
another generation l believe that
liquor will have disappeared not
merely from our politics, but from
our memories"

How Not To Take Cold.

Some persons are subject to fire.
Quent colds, while others seldom, if
ever, have a cold. You will find
that the latter take good care of
themselves. They take a shower
or cold spone bath every day in a
warm room, avoid over-heated
rooms. sleep with window open or
partly open, avoid excuses, over
eating. becoming over-heated and
then chilled and getting the feet
wet. Then, when they feel the first
indication 9f a cold. they take

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.

Rural banks and cooperative as
sociations of producers, entitled to
receive funds under the recent
amendment OF the Federal law

result of low prices, according to DIR.
