NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Oils con-
tinued to exercise a disturbing infiu-
ence on the whole market at the start
of trading today and prices were gen.
orally lower, rejecting another in
crease in California crude oil produc-
ton. Industrials we're especially
heavy, Steel, Baldwin and Dupont
making new lows on the current re-
action. Foreign news continued. en-
couraging by the hope expressed from
London that passive resistance by
Germany would cease in the next ten
days and this thought served as a
sustaining force amid the general
heaviness.

Death Of Our Father.

B. H. Mattingly died on the 18th day
of March, at Newport, Maryland.
Heartbroken and sorrowful
On that memorable day,
For we lost our best friend,
When father passed away.
We know how we will miss him,
Through all the coming years,
A grief not soon forgotten
Is mingled with our tears.
We are glad that we were loyal,
Always loving, fond and true;
We bestowed on him every devotion
That loving children could do.
God knows if we had him back again,
We would double cur love and care,
But God willed it otherwise
So we must be reconciled and moi
despair.
Dear papa, we will pray for you,
And whisper silent prayer
That the dear Father in heaven
Will take you in His care.
We feel that evil meet him
Some day at the golden gate,
When God shall take us home,
Where all our dear friends await.
There is not a day or night
That we forget you, daddy, dear;
Always foremost in our thoughts,
You are there.
1t is said that time will heal
The sorrows of past years,
But altho' you're gone and missing.
You are remembered in our prayers
By HIS FIRST CHILDREN.

MsetIna d charIss county phy.IeIan..

Invitations are being sent out by DR..
S. J.. Fort, Deputy State Health officer,
to all Charles county doctors, to be
his guests at luncheon May llth, for
the purpose of meeting DR.. j.. Mason
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau Of
Child Hygiene, State Department OF
Health, and Dr.. @. Milton Linthicum,
a prominent surgeon Of Baltimore.
After luncheon has been served, DR..
Knox will speak upon the subject OF
child hygiene and the functions Of the
new Bureau Of which he Is the chief.
DR.. Linthicum will speak upon the
advantages of county medical socie-
ty, hoping to have Charles county or
ganize such an association in the near
future.
Charles and St Mary's counties are
the only counties ia the State without
active medical societies at the present
time, and the advantages OF such or
ganizations are almost too obvious to
mention, especially to such progress
sive doctors as practice within the
limits of these two counties.
1t is certainly within the bounds OF
possibility that combination could be
made If strictly county lines are not
drawn, thus bringing together strong
sr bond Of utilization between the doc
tors of both counties.
Under any conditions, Charles coun-
ty should have an active organization
and get out Of the category OF being a
progressive county in so far as its
association of medical men is con-
cerned.

gone into business for himself at the

later engage in business.
Young Bailey, better known to the
general public as Butch, Z is wide
awake and aggressive young man who
enjoys 6he confidence and esteem of the
public. 1t is good omen to see our
young men staying here and engaging
in business, and we hope Mr.. Bailey
will be given generous patronage by
the public whom he is anxious and
ready to serve satisfactorily, as an APP
probation Of casting his lot here at
home rather than HE to one of the
large cities. The way to keep our
young men at home is to patronize and
encourage them in their business ad-
ventures.
