PEOPLE WILL TALK

We COPY the following poem, believ-
ing it will meet the favor of all our
readers in saying it is true
You may get through the world, but
twill be very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as
on YOU go;
You'll be worried and fretted, and
kept in a stew
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do. For people will talk
If quiet and modest. you'll have ii
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed
You're a wolf in Sleeps clothing or
else you're a fool;
But don't get excited keep perfect
ly cool-for people will talk.
And. then, if YOU show the least
holiness of heart.
Or a slight inclination to take your
own part.
They will call you an upstart. con
ceited and vain;
But keep straight ahead-dont stop
to expla in-For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress or old
fashioned your hat.
Someone will surely take notice of
that.
And hint rather strong that you
can't paw your way;
But don't get excited. whatever they
SAVIOR people will talk.
If yon dress in the fashion, don't
think to escape.
For thev criticise then in a different
shape:
: You're ahead of your means or your
tai1Ors' unpaid.
But mind your own business. there's
naught to be made-FOr people will
talk
But the best way to do is to do as
yOn please;
For vnnr mind. if YOU have one will
then be at your ease.
OF course YOU will meet with all

Pension for Old People in Australia.

1t certainly is interesting news to
read that there are 96.924 old age pen
sioners in Australia. Each one of
these receives about 5000 per year.
In the same paper we read of Ernest
l.. Smith, fifty years of age, of North
Scituate. Mass. who used to work in
the Providence, r. l., Mills. He was
lad off several months ago, and was
unable to find anything to do. When
ever he applied for employment, he
was told that he was too Old. Becom-
inS discouraged that he had a family
which he was unable to supply with
food, he barricaded himself in the
house. set fire to it. and shot himcelf
through the head, dying en- route tn
the hospital.

Best Verse on June

The following found in "Christian
Herald" is the best verse on June
that we have ever seen:
June is a month of flowers,
June is a month of light;
June is a month of vivid skies
That are dotted with stars at night
June is a month of sweetness.
OF birds that sing on the nest:
Of youth set free. and of mystery;
OF PRAYER. and of deep. calm rest

MUST THE
COUNTIES Be
D|S|NHER|TED?

Is Baltimore city governing
Maryland, and shall she con
tinue?
Having about half of the pop
ulatiou of the State and occupy
ing a restricted area, Baltimore
has been seeking and has been
successfully grabbing most OF
the important governing offices
while the twenty-three counties,
with a great diversity of inter
ests and an extensive territorial
area, only have minority repre-
sentation so far as important Of
fees are concerned. The efforts
of the city to dominate i'll this
respect has been all the more
successful since the rest OF the
state has not realized Balti-
more's attempt to rule Maryland.
Here are the facts:
There are four candidates for
the United States Senate from
Baltimore-William |. Norris,
William CabelI Bruce, Joseph |.
France and John w. Garrett
There is one candidate for the
United States Senate from the
COMMENSURATE J. Lewis, OF AL
legany county.
When the books were closed
the last-minute entry was picked
by Baltimore politicians-Wll-
liam Cabell Bruce.
Baltimore now has the Gov.
ernOr, Treasurer, Secretary OF
State and actually both United
States Senators.
These facts speak. 1t is OBJ
viously unfair that one city III
State shall rule a whole State.
Since there are men III the cOun-
ties OF Maryland fully as capable
as those in Baltimore, the coun-
ties of Maryland should have
proportionate share i'll the
States rule. Representative
government exists in this coun-
try, but does representative gov
eminent exist in state where
one city has all the power OF
government?
The duty of the counties is to
secure proper representation i'll
their own government.
A situation now exists for
their action.
David J. Lewis is an unusually
capable man, of tested legisla-
tive ability, of strong sympa-
thies, open to suggestion and
firm in his established purposes
for the good of the individual.
the State and the nation. lie Is
the proper and logical man to
represent the State in the Unit
ed States Senate.
Support of Mr.. Lewis will i'll
dictate that the counties are
awakening to their danger and
duty, and the counties MUST
show that they do not intend to
be disinherited by Baltimore
City.
Isn't it time the rest of Mary
land had a chance?
The time and place to settle
this question is at the primaries,
Monday, September II.

the rocky mountain regions and the
boulder-strewn twenty-mile- dry
river beds, called "oueds." Of the hither-
to unknown parts Of the Sahara from
Touggourt, south Of Algeria, through the
Hoggar, to Timbuctoo.
Only nomadic Arabs have dared venture
into the districts that Citroen's dauntless
expedition plans to cross. The burning
winds of the desert and the great distances
between waterholes have kept all means
Of locomotion but camels from the ap-
proaches TO the Hoggar, that great noun
famous region Of central Sahara, whose
freezing nights and countless blood-curd-
ling traditions have kept even the Arabs
from penetrating into its fastnesses,
where the dreaded Touaregs live. South
of there the small feet Of cars will con-
tinue its route over hundreds of miles
extending toward the Niger, known as the
Land of Thirst, which has always been
avoided by the caravans as country
Of death and desolation. Even camels
have not been able to cross this part of
the desert, which is believed to be filled
with the bones of all who have fearlessly
or unwittingly ventured into it.
In ancient days caravans on camels
made the trip from the Niger to the Med
iterranean, carrying slaves and ivory,
once every two years, but for generations
no caravan has crossed the desert and
none has ever been in the region the
present expedition will enter.
Camels have been greatly overestimated,
for aside from the mehara, rare sort Of
special racing camel, they can make only
about twelve or fifteen miles day, and it
takes them a long day to do even that.
No camel can carry much more than 200
pounds while walking slowly along brows-

ing tufts of a hard weed that manages
To live in the heat and aridity Of the
desert. A camel must be given his head II
real distance is TO be covered, and this
means he will wander miles TO right and
left as he espies this desert fodder. Held
in a straight line, he loafs. Every four
days camel must spend day drinking
it takes from five TO eight hours for a
camel to "tank up"-and another day
grazing around the waterhole. This re-
stores the frmness Of his hump. A camel
draws reserve energy from his hump, and
a good camel driver watches it like a
barometer to see that his desert ship
is in good running order. If the beast Is
forced into fast "clip," much greater
than normal speed, his hump will prae-
tically disappear by the end of the third
day. His hump recedes with his exhaus-
ton, and If he does not die il will require
a matter Of six months TO restore him.
With such delicate characteristics Of
the "ship of the desert" il takes a cara
van Of came,s six or seven months TO make
the trip from Touggourt to Timbuctoo.
A mehara could do it in two and half
months without carrying a pack, but me
bari are rare and, therefore, cannot be
used for any practical purpose. They are
reserved for desert bandits and for the
French flying squadrons which chase them
generally without success.
The present auto expedition into the
Sahara is led by Georges Marie Haardt,
Frenchman who has had great deal OF
North African experience. With him,
among others. is Audouin-D n-Dubreuil, who
was in charge Of the desert trails Of the
auto tractors last year in southern Al
geria.

have a revolutionary effect on the future
Of the Sahara. II will reduce travel from
a problem Of months to a matter Of few
days. Flying columns of troops will be
able TO abolish the Arab marauders who
terrorize the sand wastes and make travel
50 unsafe tina. even military caravans are
nnnihilated Il they relax their vigilant
guard for an hour. A correct charting
could be made, allowing civilization and
commercial development to follow
The few French military outposts have
not dared push very far into the desert,
for they soon find themselves out Of touch
with their bases, and the caravans that
keep them supplied have only a gambling
chance Of reaching their destinations
safely.
The Haardt mission has letters from the
Minister Of War ordering all stations TO
give them every possible assistance. Blu,
the rapid little cars will soon have passed
all military posts and will face alone the
dangers Of the unknown wilderness.
The main feet Of cars starts about De-
cember Is, but two preparatory groups
are already under way TO establish sup
ply depots of gasoline and spare parts
on the route. One Of these has left Tim
buctoo and hopes TO establish a depot at
the waterhole Of Tin Zaouten. northeast
toward the Hoggar. The other has left
the terminus Of the Algerian railroad,
Touggourt. and will strike southwest 70
form a supply depot at In Salah. an i'm.
portant oasis Of 5000 inhabitants which
is 700 kilometers from the nearest settle
ment.
All that is expected Of the preliminary
missions is to reach their comparatively
short destinations, dump their supplies
and wait. Their routes have been mapped
by military expeditions, and the feat OF
covering them is infinitely less than that
Of the main expedition. which will no.
only 90 over both their tracks but also
cross the unknown and between them
the Hoggar and the Land Of Thirst.
The start is TO be made from the end OF
the Algiers railroad, for it is no feat 10
cover that we'll known distance, which is
filled with good roads, and the principal
idea Of the trip is to go over the great ex-
panse which cannot be Travelled across in
any manner but with camels. Even Tim.
burtoo can be reached By boats, so there is
no purpose in proceeding beyond that
point.

100000 WORTH
OF COTTON GOES
THROUGH ARTESlA

Artesia, n. NJ, Nov. 9.--The Ar
tesla cotton gin is actively engaged
in caring for the present cotton
crop. over 400 bales have been
ginned up to the present time and
several hundred more are eX-
pected. The force of workmen is
working overtime each day in an
attempt to accommodate the farm
ers. Often the gin Is operating at
late hours Of the night. The ster-
ilizer has been installed. but on ac-
count of the lack of time the seed
is being stored until a later date.
Several carloads of cotton seed
have been shipped recently. The
yield is larger than was expected
from the amount of acreage.
Higgins brothers recently sold
forty bales of long staple Durango
cotton, which brought 2S1s cents
per pound. The average price re-
ceived at this time is from 25 to 20
cents per pound. The Terry cotton
farm, south Of Artesia. is rated as
the greatest producer in this sec
tion of the valley. ranking close to
the Higgins brothers farm. Hun
dreds of acres will be added to the
acreage next year and it is expect
ed another gin will be installed.
Numerous gins were installed in
the Pecos valley this year to handle
the present crop. 1t has been esti-
mated that almost 100000 worth
of cotton has been handled by the
Artesia gin. On account of the
frosty nfgn.s tad the heavy freezes
the growth has been checked.

THE VERDICT.

There can be no doubt that the out
come of the election was rebuke to Re-
publicanism everywhere. When Presi-
dent Harding assumed office, he inherit
ed one of the greatest burdens that any
other president, with the possible eXcep-
ton of Lincoln, was called upon to bear.
He strove with all his might to aXtricate
the country from the economic depression
into which it was plunged by war. But
he had to deal with a recalcitrant Con-
gress in which he often encountered as
strong opposition from the members of
his own party as he did from the opposi-
ton. Take the tariff for example, Some
of the leading members of both houses
condemned the new law bitterly and even
the President, at the time he signed the
measure, displayed little enthusiasm 5or
it but said in effect that while it was not
the best tariff legislation, it was better
than anything we had. 1t was the same
with the adjusted compensation. Through
out all the debates, the members INDUCED
in all sorts of jugglery and jockeying, in
spite of the Presidents repeated warn
ings. Then there were the coal and rail-
way strikes.
In all these things the people took lit
tie note of the cause, but we are mindful
only of the effect and they rendered an
unmstakable verdict.
