RADICAL "GLEE CLUB"
TO SING G. o. P. KEY

There is to be more than one
discordant note in the ears of the
people during President Harding's
pergination next summer SEN
ator Borah is not to be the only
orr singing off the true Republi-
a key. Senator LaFollette also
is to take it different for the Presi-
dent as leader of his party's "glee
club"
Senator LaFollette contemplates
a. longer tour and more speeches
than President Harding is billed
to make. For one thing, Sena-
tor LaFollette has a long vaca-
ton due to President Harding's de-
clination to call a special session
of Congress. With this time at
his disposal the senator from Wis
consin is going to flirt about tell
ing what he thinks of the various
subjects that might also be politi-
cal issues in 1924 and at the same
time expose himself to the public
gaze so that if radical and progress
sive Republicans want to nominate
him instead of Mr.. Harding they
will have an opportunity to see
him in action.
Representative F'rear, LaFollet-
te's understudy in the House of
Representatives, is also planning
to Join the great vocal festival,
reserving the right, however, to
sing the tune he knows best-which
seems to be "Put Back the Taxes
on the Millionaires. Meantime
Mr.. Frear has a typewriter and a
supply of paper equal to the task
of reducing to print some express
sions of his frievance against the
Republican administration. These
screeds are finding their way even
into Republican newspapers and
making it unpleasant for President
Harding and Secretary Mellon.

We are glad to give a summary of
what was said by the Digest:
The South has the largest sui
phur deposits in the world, pro-
ducing about three-fourths Of the
worlds sulphur supply. 1t pro-
duccs practically all of the cotton
raised in the United States, which
is about so per cent. of all the cot
ton grown in the world. 1t has
practically all of the aluminium in
dustry in this country, based on
the use of bauxite as raw ma
terial, of which the South produces
the entire quantity mined in Ameri-
ca. 1t has three-fourths of the
cooking coal area of the country
It's total coal area is twice as great
as that of all Europe, including
Russia, and five times as great as
all Europe, excluding Russia.
"The extent Of the iron ores is
in keeping with the magnitude OF
its coal supply; and with the de-
creasing metallic content of Lake
Superior ores the almost unlimited
supply of low grade ores in the
South must furnish in the future
a basis for much of the iron ard
steel business Of the country. The
South has about 30 per cent of the
country's forest area and nearly a
quarter Of the standing saw timber.
1t is producing very consider
able portion of the entire agricul-
tural products Of the country, and
the output of agriculture by more
intensive farming and fertilization
could be doubled without the adj
dtion Of a single acre to the land
under cultivation.
"The center Of the cotton manu-
featuring has already shifted from
New England to the South, and
the consumption of cotton in Sou
thern mills is now more than 50
per cent. of the total consumed in
America"

And there is a light in my true loves eyes
Which only such labor brings;
And l watch her sewing, and in NY heart

Filled with a vision of JOY and hope,
Thrilled with her plans and schemes

And the day of her trial is near,
Yet all her mood is the mood of Joy
And never hint of fear;

MRS. RITCHIE'S SWEET.
SYMPATHETIC COMMENT

4 Yesterday was observed thrbughout
the United States as Mothers Day
land men and women throughout this
broad land wore carnations to show
their devotion to mothers, dead and
living.
In many of the churches special
services in her honor were held while
in others sermons on the subject OF
Mother" were preached. The Presi-
dent and Mrs Harding attended
Mcther's Day service at the First
Baptist Church in Washington.
Mrs Ritchie's Sweet Words
The first Lady of Maryland, Mrs.
Albert Ritchie, mother of the Cover
nor, when asked to say word on the
Day with characteristic sweetness
expressed herself as follows:
Il feel that there is lite need
for words because all mothers are
united in a sympathetic UNDER
standing which words cannot ex-
press.
"The lives Of all of us are CEN
tered in our children. Their well
fare is our dearest wish. We re-
joice in their successes and per-
haps feel more keenly than they
their disappointments. Their lives
are ours.
And | believe that the moth
ers OF Maryland have a right to
feel proud Of the sons and daugh-
ters of Maryland
Raymond Poincare, premier OF
France, cabled this greeting to Am
erican mothers:
i send my best wishes to the
mothers of America. We are close
to them on this great day"
Churches Crowded
In the local Methodist and Baptist
Churches sermons were preached on
the subject Of Mother" Doctor Bur-
gan's text being "The Mother OF a
Maker of Kings"
The idea of setting aside one day
in the year on which to remember
Mother is said to have originated in
Baltimore.
The mothers who passed on were
remembered, and throughout the day
roads leading to cemeteries were fill
ed with persons on the way to lay
floral tribues on the graves OF the
departed ones.

MULES PERISH IN
BIG STABLE BLAZE
Two Big Road Trucks Also Los.
When Flames Wreck
County Stable

Three fine mules were burned to
death, another so badly injured that
it was necessary for the agent of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to destroy It, and two
large trucks used in road work were
wrecked, when flames swept the
Anne Arundel county stable building
near Germantown late Saturday night.
A quantity Of hay. feed, and imple-
ments, also were destroyed.
Loss Over Hall Insured
The loss is placed at about $4,000,
more than half of which is said to
lie covered by insurance. The mules
were valued at $3.50 each: two trucks.
practically new at $500, and among
other things stored in the building.
were several barrels of paint, for use
on county bridges. and quantity of
corn and other grain. besides harness,
tools and implements.
Origin OF Blaze Undetermined
! The fire, the origin of which has
not been determined, was discovered
about 10:40 o'clock. and eating its
way into inflammable contents of the
building, soon enveloped the struc-
ture, and rendered the efforts of the
city's volunteer firemen futile. The
fire fighters were quick to reach the
scene in response to a general alarm
and soon had several streams of wa
ter playing on the burning building.
Could Not Save Animals
Residents of the neighborhood. al
though aware that mules were in the
stable were powerless to release them
because of the rapid spread of the
flames, and the dense clouds of smoke.
One that managed to break loose, or
perhaps was united, ran from the
building. 1t had been rendered tot
ally blind by the smoke, and was. bad
ly burned in many places about the
body. j. 6. Blaisdell, agent Of the
S. p c. A. was called by telephone
and ended the misery OF the animal
by shooting it. The mule was a
splendid specimen.
For time, it was feared that the
flames would spread to the German
town Public School building, shing
led building, not far away but the
blaze was checked by the fremen. In
fact, first reports after the fire alarm
had been sounded, were that the
schoolhouse was ablaze.
