Society and the Maryland Crop I'm
provement Association and will be

tural Society.
According to the announcement;
made by j. e. Metzger. secretary OF

mand among farmers for some time
for revival of State corn show to

serve the types which have been
winning in the International Grain
and Hay Show at Chicago and some
of the more recently developed
varieties.
Corn throughout Maryland is of
exceptionally good quality this year.
according TO Mr.. Metzger. and the
show should attract large number
Of exhibits of merit. The show will
not be confined to Maryland growers
exclusively and farmers in nearby
States will be asked to send entries.

ranged and prizes will be announced
later. A display of agricultural
products by Frederick farmers prob
ably viii be made in connection with

ed in Maryland was held in Freder-
lex in 1902 at the time of the forma-
ton of the Maryland Crop Improve
ment Association.

HELP NEEDED IN THE NEAR
EAST


President Harding has sounded
an appeal to the nation for help to
the Smyrna victims and other sur
fers from the Turks. that has been
taken UP by the newspapers OF the
state and will certainly appeal to
the heart of Maryland. says Harold
F. Pellegrin, state director, Near
East Relief.
The state newspapers are not only
publishing accounts from unbiased
writer's that tell of the awful condi-
lions in the Near East but are max
ing appeals through their columns
to the people to give says Mr.. Pei
legrin. And 1t is not only the news
papers that are helping wonderfully
but the big magazines are doing
splendid work, the latest action be-
ing full page appeals on Oct. 81 IN
metropolitan papers all over the
country, made by the Literary Dr.
gest which paid every cent of the
cost Of the appeal. In this appeal
the call to action is summarized
thus:
Driven from their homes, by fire
and sword-beaten, trampled, rob-
bed, more than half a million men,
women and little children are being
swept along to starvation, madness,
and self-destruction in the Near
East.
''Herded in the streets like cattle
for the slaughter; huddled on the
brink of the sea, and casting them
selves, crazed by hunger and fear,
in the dark waters; dragged from
the burning hell of Smyrna. only to
be thrust by their rescuers into the
slower hell of Mitylene and Salon
ika, and other "havens'' of refuge
which are now crowded centers of
starvation and breeding grounds OF
pestilence, they have only one hope
of salvation from the nightmare OF
crucifixion. The hope is YOU
Americans"
What, says State Director Pelle-
grin, will avail the aid of the news
papers, of the magazines, what
avails the call of the President, un-
less you, reader, respond to this
agonizing cry for help. Answer
now, send a check to John E. Bois-
seau, state treasurer, Near East Re-
lief. IA w. Franklin St., Baltimore,
Md. He gives twice who gives
speedily, says the Greek Patriarch
at Constantinople, quoting a Greek
nroverb in an appeal by him.

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS.

B. G. Forbes, the eminent writer
upon financial subjects, reminds us
how rapidly one crisis succeeds an
other. A little while ago there was
no coal to move; now there is more
than can be moved.
Just the other day railroads were
complaining that they did not get
enough to haul; now they are con-
gested.
1t is not many moons since we
were all heated up over unemploy-
ment in this country; now we have
a scarcity of workmen.
But yesterday the steel industry
was complaining of lack of bus
mess; now it produces more than
the railroads can handle.
The other day money rates were
going down, and now they are going
up.
The tariff question has cooled
down.
so has the bonus issue.
The coal strike is all over.
The spotlight has turned away
from the long quarrel between
France and Germany, and now Eu-
rope is afraid of being overrun by
the Turks.
AS Bert Taylor, of the, Chicago
Tribune used to say. Life is one
dam thing after another"
-
Or as an old philosopher used to
remark, This, too, shall pass"
So it is just as well not to get
alarmed at anything.
Cheer up. The worst is yet to
come.
And in the language of James P.
Morgan, st always stops raining. =

Of it as ;.fact binding commits

held from use by the owners when
ever it appears. to their advantage
to do SO.
Q. That frequently it does appear

How Not to Take Cold.

Some persons are subject to fire.
quent colds. while others seldom, II
ever. have a cold. You will find
that the latter take good care of
themselves. They take shower or
cold sponge 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 wet feet.
Then. when they feel the first indl-
cation of cold, they take Chamber
llain's Cough Remedy without delay
and it is soon over.

MIR. HIENTERl,

Did you ever stop to think how
much game there was in a burned
over forest? You will probably not
see any, or only very small portion
of what should be there. Did you
ever connect the effect with the
cause? If you haven't, do so now.
In the first place. the fire drives
away the game, or kills it.. In the
second place, it destroys their shell
ter; and in the third place, the
available food. Because of the last
two the game does not return, but
what has not been killed, will seek
other grounds.
Remember what it says on the
back of your hunting license, and
follow these rules that have been
prepared by the State Board of
Forestry.
Never throw away a match, ciga-
rette, cigar, or pipe heel until you
are sure it is OUT.
Never build large fire, a small
one will answer your purpose If you
must make one.
Never start fire without raking
away the leaves from around it. 4
Never build fire against a stump
or log.
Never leave a fire until it is OUT.
If you follow these rules, you will
have shelter and food for the game,
and be assured Of sport during this
and future seasons.

REACT1oNARIEs REPUDIATED.


Washington, Nov. 13.-The great
Democratic victory of Tuesday
marks the beginning of the return
Of the people to the Democratic
party and the restoration of that
party to complete power in 1924.
It is more than protest against
Republican incompetency and fall
ure. 1t is reputation of the
major policies which the present. re-
dictionary Republican Congress and
adminstration-the most reactionary
in history-have advocated and
foisted upon the people. 1t is a
Reputation of tariff-robbery, Of tax
shifting and tax-juggling, Of New
berryism, Daughteryism and Lasker-
ism, of reckless appropriation and
extravagant expenditure, of the al
lance between the reactionary lead
ers of the Republican party and
special privilege and of the reen-
thronement of the spoils system in
government departments.
In many of its features the cleo
ton was personal rebuke to Presi-
dent Harding himself. The Repub-
lican candidate for Governor of
Ohio, who is supposed to have won
ms nomination by reason of being
an administration favorite, was de-
feated; Newberry, who obtained a
certificate of character from Presi-
dent Harding prior to the trial of
the Newberry case by the Senate,
was repudiated wherever there were
Democratic majorities; Lodge, the
administration spokesman in the
Senate, has been Inundated to a
Idegree which in some respects is
worse than his defeat would have
been, and a recount of the votes IN
Massachusetts may add to his hui
initiation. There were minor cas-
aulties in the presidential coterie.
Michigan's condemnation of New
berryism gives impetus to the de-
mand for a reopening Of the case
against Truman H. Newberry, and
for his removal from the. the U. S.
Senate. Senator Townsend, Repub-
lican, who championed. Newberry
and sought to defend his support of
his colleague, has been eliminated
from public life, and former Gov.
Ferris, a Democrat, who made the
issue of Newterryism paramount in
the Michigan campaign has been
elected in his stead.
Reputation and RELOCATION Of
Republican Senators who were con-
spicuous supporters of the Fordney-
McCumber profiteers' tariff law is
one of the outstanding results of
last Tuesdays election. Seven of
its principal advocates in the Senate
were defeated in this election, and
two Senator McCumber of North
Dakota, it's co-author, and Senator
New, of Indiana-had already been
overthrow by voters of their party
in the primaries last summer while
the iniquities of the bill were under
public discussion.
The supreme court of the elector-
ate has given it's decision. Mr..
Harding and the Republican Con-
gress stand condemned for the fu-
ture no less than for the past.
A small Republican majority IN
the House is equivalent to Demo-
cratic victory. The balance of
power will be held by progressives
and radicals who are as much OPP
posed to Republican reactionism as
| the Democrats.
Republican reactionism has been
checked but not destroyed. The
work so auspiciously begun last
Tuesday will be completed in 1924.
