hartford COUNTY RELIEF FUND

With the consent and approval Of
Supt. Wright Mrs. Mildred N. Yellott
Chairman pro tenn. is sending out a
form letter TO the teachers of the coun-
ty relative to "Chip In Day" for the
Hartford Co. Relief Fund, December
It'll being the date set for this years
observance Of the custom. Five cents
per pupil is the amount asked from the
school children and many schools In the
past have contributed 1907 strong.
Although Hartford Is a rich county
there are many cases of want within
her boundaries-cases which probably
the private citizen knows nothing Of
but which come to the knowledge Of
our watchful and observant people en-
gagged in various branches of welfare
work. 1t is hoped that "Chip In Day
will bring generous response from
those financially able to help the less
fortunate fellowmen. Nothing can
bring greater Joy to the individual Civ
ing than the very pleasure of giving
and the necessities Of life provided for
the needy by such fund bring them
a relief and joy beyond the power Of
words to express.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR BEL
AIRS BASKETBALL TOSS
Frs

Bel Airs basketball tossers added
another victory to their growing list
on Friday night when they trimmed
the Gas & Electric team, Of Baltimore,
by a score Of % to II. The local boys
were on their toes from start to finish,
Umbarger and Van Stratton playing
exceptionally good games. and con-
stantly kept the visitors on the defen-
sive. A pitifully small audience felt
they had gotten their moneys worth
several times over.
This Friday evening st. Wenseelaus
Team, champions of the Baltimore
Catholic League, win be met In the Ar
mory and fast game Ia guaranteed.
Continuance Of basketball In Bel Air,
however. depends upon better atten-
dance as It will be impossible TO con-
tinue with expenses running ahead Of
receipts. Surely the community can
support winning team and now IL the
vital tina TO prove 1t.

BABY MULES TRIP ALONG THE

Ye olden days in Hartford are being
wildly recalled by the passing through
Of several droves of baby mules. Tues,
day a beautiful bunch Of about 30

but kept persistently following the
leader. Every once In o while stray
giers would kick up their heels and
dash clear to the front Of the column,
with many well aimed kick as they
passed their drove-mates.
A few years ago droves of mules In
the Spring and Fall led by an old gray
mare were familiar sight, but the
coming Of trucks has almost made
them a thing Of the past. Recently,
however, several carloads have been
placed in Hartford and the lively little
fellows are printing themselves for 0
merry time when breaking begins next
Spring.

FARM BUREAU MAKING HEAD
WAY

Advance agents of the Farm Bureau
have been in Hartford recently making
preparations for organization here at
an early date. Already ten Maryland
counties have fallen in line and the 9th
ers are being counted upon to follow
suit.
The Farm Bureau is national in its
scope and so far has met with marked
success. Western Maryland farmers
are said to be reaping its benefits al
ready, while the West claims to have
long since found il boone.
Probably an educational campaign
will be started In Hartford about the
middle of January.

Thanksgiving Hymn

<S<NS<S<S
For royal gifts Of garnered grain
Rich tribute of the hill and plain,
We thank Thee.
For hocks and herds in meadow, glen,
For shapely stacks preserved for them,
We thank Thee
For orchards rosy gift in hand,
With bending boughs DER all the land,
We thank Thee.
For stars that gem the evening sky,
For sweet moon held in place on high,
We thank Thee.
For all Thy SUMS bright, quickening rays
For summers warmth and winters days,
We thank Thee
For faith that points beyond the dome,
For love that links dear heaven with home,
We thank Thee.
For hope that cheers the loneliest way,
And parts the clouds DER perfect day,
We thank Thee.
For air we breathe, for radiant light
For tongue to speak, for gift Of sight,
We thank Thee.
For hearts and hands close linked to ours,
For all the seasons wealth Of flowers
We thank Thee.

 Such character as this cannot be too close ly or carefully studied by people living under democratic institutions, especially in times like these. For if democracy is to govern the world, it must be a clean, sound high-souled and true democracy It has been said that Washington was born in great tradition, and that he was it's champion and defender.

STUDY THE BONUS QUESTION

NO important piece of legislation should pass Congress before it has been thoroughly dis cussed by the people of the country and they have had an opportunity to transmit their views to Washington. The soldiers bonus bill will be enacted promptly, but there is no dis position at the capitol to railroad it through without giving the people chance to inspect its provisions and render their verdict. Hear lnSs will be held at once by the Ways and Means Committee of the House, and then the measure wil be drafted and reported to that body. Copies will be available for all who ap- ply for them, and every voter who cares to in- form himself of the bonus and the form of taxes that will be levied for its payment can do so. Several weeks will probably elapse be- tween the report of the bill to the House and its approval by the president, giving ample time for the expression of all shades of opin- ioE regarding it.

CRITICAL, BUT NOT CONSTRUCTIVE

One of the most popular forms of entertain ment known is kicking at the government This takes many turns and none is more frequently indulged than the criticism of the revenus svs- tenn. No matter what plan is adopted for levy ing taxes, somebody is not satisfied and the result is a perpetual discussion, with seldom a constructive suggestion.
 Taxes must be levied to support the govern ment The money spent in carrying on the public service is taken from wealth privately created The popular principal applied as far as possible is to take the revenue from those best able to pay. And justice demands that the tax rest with equal force and effect on all forms of property.
 casual reader might gather the impression that congress is made up in part of groups of lgnoramuses, who are steered around by an- other group of designing politicians and bus mess trickstcrs. If some of the men of emn ence in our educational institutions could find time to minge just little practice with their theorles, 1t might save a lot of unpleasantness.

 In Virginia two men are imprisoned in a mine, according to the public prints They are, reports say, ln yaulted chamber the natural tem- perature of which is about 70 de- grees, A two inch pipe has been driven through the rock to thls chamber, through which food and drink are passed Electric wires and 9 small electric light bulb have also been passed through the pipe. The men have plenty of fresh air, pletny of food and drink, tobacco and matches, and a light.
 It may be several weeks before resources reach them. In the mean time the prisoners say that they are al, right and not worrying. Why should they worry? No cold weather, no taxes, no high cost of living. no lodging automobiles, or trying to start 'em on cold mornings, no tele- nhone calls in the chilly midnight, no fuss, no bother. Grub handed them daily, without having to work. It would be a little difficult for us to go down a two inch pipe, but any time the two fellows want compan- ion we will volunteer.
