CHARLES j. DAVIS.

Charles ]. Davis, one of the oldest
and most highly respected citizens
of this community, died Monday,
Nov. rs, at his home near Colora,
from the effects of a stroke of pa
ra1ysis, suffered several years ago.
He was man of wonderful energy
and previous to his disability rarely
let day pass that did not show
some results of his activity. He al
ways had something to do.
Mr.. Davis was born in Howard
County, Md, Jan. II, 1898. but
came to Cecil County when a mere
boy, to work on the farm of his
uncle. Later, he learned the trade
of iron moulder. and for a number
of years conducted the Stone Run
Foundry. near Rising Sun. In 1890
he bought the farm on which he has
since lived. A Democrat in politics,
he never sought Office, but actively
engaged in political contests, both
local and National. He was careful
and deliberate In Judgment, but
when his opinions were formed he
seldom changed them. He lived a
clean life, having been a member of
the Methodist oA9rch since he was
eighteen years old, which church he
was always ready to support and de-
fena. Faith" was his ''food" and
consistency" his motto" He de-
termined early in rife to always be
a man" and how we'll he succeeded
has been abundantly attested to by
all with whom he dealt or associated.
His widow survives him with the
following children: Mrs. Andrew
Aiken, Mrs. Cecil Kirk, Harvey r.
Davis and VIM. G.. Davis, all of
Cofora, and Warren j. Davis, of
Camden, N. j, These, while mourn
ing his loss, are deeply thankful for
a husband and father who did his
part so well. His life was success,
his death triumph.

NEW M. E. CHURCH.
Canvass To Be Made Sunday After
noon.

The congregation of James M. E
Church will make a complete can
yass of the entire community for the
new church, beginning on Sunday
afternoon, Dec. 4, at two o'clock
The officials of the church have
already pledged about $4,000. A
number of persons have been spoken
to privately during the past week,
but on Sunday afternoon full can
vass will begin.
The new building will be mod
ern structure including a fully
equipped Sunday School building
and social room for young people
The cost of the project will be about
$4,000. This is very moderate
sum compared to other structures
Of its kind being built today. 1t is
the very lowest possible cost for a
building of this, type that will be
adequate for our present needs.
The Official Board urges all mem
bers and friends of the church to do
their share in the building of the
church, by making the most liberal
subscription possible at this time so
as not to overburden us at the dedi-
cation.
1t is desired that subscriptions be
paid quarterly and that the entire
amount be paid in by December,
1922. Where longer time is desired
it will be granted.
The contribution of the necessary
amount to build the church means
sacrifice for all. But it should be
borne in mind that the church is not
being built simply because of a de-
sire for larger and more modern
building. We are driven to it by
the disastrous fire in June. There
fore we believe the good people of
the church and community will do
their part in rebuilding the church
which has meant so mueh to them in
the past.
Mr.. Hume, the architect, will
threw the proposed new building
upon the screen on Friday evening
from to $3.50 o'clock. All inter-
ested are cordially invited to be
present.

Pastor.

Missed a Cash Sale.

A clerk. who also delivers goods, IS coming in for lot of kidding about the following experience he had one afternoon recently.
 A woman customer, not very hefty as to pay, called up and asked that suit of underwear be sent to her house forthwith. The clerk did up the pack age, but before he left he received in structions from the boss to get the cash for the goods. Arriving at the home, he handed in the package and told the woman the amount of cash he re- quired.
 If I have to pay cash I'll know that they fit" she snapped back, then went into a room adjoining.

Valley Lilies in Winter.

It is no trick at all to have the fragrant dainty white bell of the lily of the valley in bloom in the window of the living room for the greater part of the winter, according to the national garden bureau service. If you have q patch of lilies of the val ley growing in your yard, dig up few pips this fall selecting only the plump ones which contain flower buds, pot them up say eight or ten pips to an eight-inch pot. Let them remain outdoors until thoroughly frozen and then bring them in as they are wanted. AS soon as they thaw out the lilies will send up their bloom with surprising speed. A number of pots may be planted and left outdoors to be brought in from time to time.

Appointed Honorary Chairman of Xmas Seal Sale. Col. K. P.
 Williams Chairman.
IN NEED OF ATTENTION
Col. Williams In Interview Gives Startling Facts and Figures on Tuberculosis. Urges
 Buying of Seals.

Col. Kenneth P. Williams of Little Rock, President of the Arkansas Tub erculosis Association, has assumed personal direction of the annual Christmas Seal Sale. Governor Thom as C. McRae is honorary chairman. Other members of the state execu- tive committee for the Seal Sale are: c. J. Mansfield, Warren; F. G. Bridges, Pine Bluff; Mrs. H. c. King, Ft. Smith; Chas. Mccain, Little Rock.
 Col Williams calls attention to the grave need in Arkansas for very ac- tive campaign to stamp out tubercu- losis. He says:
 of 1s0 beds, in spite of the fact that 5000 Arkansans die each year of this dread disease. Where are these tub erculous patients to be cared for? The state does not do 1.-the county does not do it, the family of the stricken one are all too frequently un- able to do it. Therefore the greater proportion of these 5000 unfortunates who could have been saved to useful citizenship, with a potential value to the state of an average earning cap scity, in an ordinary span of life, of $20, 0,000-shows an economic loss to the state of approximately $60,0oo,- 900, annually. These figures do not take cognizancs of the 30,oO0 men. women and children whose earning capacity is reduced to a negligible value through impairment of body and mind because of this disease.
 Astounding as these figures seem to the average mind-to minds not ac- customed to making first hand investi- gations-to minds deliberately closed to a condition for which they do not feel personally responsible, the facts will be almost unbelievable But if the case work of the all too few workers could be vizualized by our citizens, these conditions would be all most stamped out within a few years
 Recently in one of our larger cities, mother and father, leaders in social and civic affairs, blest with several healthy, happy youngsters, and a splendid home, sent out the nurse to give the eighteen months baby it's daily outing. The nurse with the child, spent the afternoon visiting a negro family in which four members were i'll with tuberculosis two of them far advanced.

 This could happen to your child or mine. If this helpless baby develops tuberculosis whose fault will it be? Do not say it will be the fault of the father or the mother. It is your busi- ness and my business.
 There is no need to call attention to the fact to any rational thinking person that we spend thousands of dollars each year (money which is we'll spent) for the eradication of ticks, the improvement of live stock, for good roads program; and for other public works. But it is high time we spent money for the preser- vation of our chief asset-human life.
