TARPON SPRINGS

We have received from Mrs. Geo. j.
Trexler, who is spending the winter at
Tarpon Springs, Florida, a copy of
The Tarpon Springs Leader and a
booklet in colors, entitled "The Charm
If Tarpon Springs, Phe Venice of the
South" Tarpon Springs has lately
held a water carnival and the Leader
gives an interesting and extended ac-
of it.
The Introductory paragraphs in the
booklet make exceedingly pleasant
reading, especially at the immediate
present. You will note that one thing
has been omitted, which was probably
overlooked, as, we suppose, they new
er had to use soft coal in their ranges
and heating stoves.
The Introductory says:
"This booklet is for you-you who
would like to be free from unkindly
winters, with their blizzards and sleet
storms and ice rains; away from hv-
ing in artifcially heated rooms and
the wearing of burdensome clothing in
order to keep warm.
away to a place where the climate
is congenial and the sun-warmed days
of winter and the balmy breezes coax
you to live in the great out-of-doors;
where flowers bloom and their fra
GRANGE is in the air; where singing
birds enchant with their Songs.
"Away where you can fish and hunt,
go boating and bathing, play golf o.
motor and do many of the things that
contribute to a greater enjoyment in
life"

BASEBALL LEAGUE MEETING

A meeting of representatives of the
various teams making up the Fred
erick County League has been called
20 convene in the Y. M. c. A. Building,
Frederick, by President M. ]. Thomp-
son, tomorrow.
1t is understood that all eight of the
towns that had clubs in the league last
year, Woodsboro, Thurmont, Middle
town, Brunswick, Mt. Airy, Emmits-
burg, Point of Rocks and Jefferson.
will send representatives.
At the meeting officers will more
than likely be selected for the ensuing
year. The present officers are: Pres
ident, M. ]. Thompson; first vice-pres-
ident, Leonard C. Barrick; second vice
president, James A. Chambers; treas
urer, Raymond G. House; secretary
Minor Simpson.
1t is expected that the president and
two vice-presidents will be reelected
without opposition. Mr.. House has
moved from the county, however, and
this makes the election of new treas
urer necessary. Several have been
suggested. The Office of secretary will
also be changed.
The Frederick County League has
had two seasons and both were great
success. Not a game has as yet beer
forfeited all being played and won or
the field of play officers of the league
pride themselves on its being the larg'
est strictly amateur league in the Uni
ted States. All county league game:
are played on Saturdays and holidays
This has so far allowed a playing
season of Ia games only. 1t has beer
suggested, that the season might bt
begun earlier this year and brought tt
conclusion later permitting thu
ceams in the circuit to have>a longel
playing schedule. This will be one O.
.ne matters discussed at tomorrow

TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS
OF FREDERICK COUNTY

Ladies and Gentlemen:
About two weeks ago, my name ap-
peared in The News as probable
candidate for the Office of County
Treasurer, on the Republican ticket.
This was brought about by few of
my friends suggesting that l become
a candidate.
Not wanting to go into the cam
paign ill-advisedly, l have gotten in
communication with quite a number of
the districts throughout the County
and have received very encouraging
reports.
l, therefore, announce myself as a
Treasurer for Frederick County and
will appreciate the support of the
voters.
If nominated and elected, I promise
my undivided and personal attention
to the Office.
Very respectfully,

GRANDMOTHER BROWN"
is DEAD

Decrfeld, Md, March 6.-Diana
Brown, widow of Joseph B. Brown,
died at her home in Deerfeld, Satur-
day, March 3rd, aged 90 years, 10
months and % days. She is survived
by the following children: Martha A..
Harbaugh of Hagerstown, Nd, Will
ford B. Brown of near Tippecanoe,
Ohio; Charles H. Brown of Deerfeld,
Md; Effie O. Lantz Nof Washington,
D. c., and Mary N. Ridenour of Deer
ield, Md.
From the wondrous tree of life the
)uds and blossoms fall with ripened
.uit, and in the common bed of earth
,atriarchs and babes sleep side by
ide.
How sad it seems to us that some
lie in their mothers arms before
their lips have learned to form a word
md others are cut down just in the
happiest, sunniest> hour of all the voy
age while eager winds are kissing ev
cry sail.
Not knowing why our Father in
his infinite wisdom calls such as these
unto Himself, perhaps we do no wrong
in grieving for them.
But Ss we look upon the silent form
of this sanity old mother, whose hair
is thin and white, and on whose brow
is the record of the cares of almost
century, we should not grieve if she,
being weary for the moment, lay down
by the wayside, and using a burden
for pillow fell into a beautiful
dreamless sleep from which she will
not awaken until we all are summoned
before the judgment Seat.
We are not sad when we see the
gathered grain, nor when the orchards
cast their mellow fruit, nor when the
yellow woods shake down their nuts.
We do not grieve when the sun has
fulfilled his glorious course rejoicing
earth and sky and in the soft evening
when the winds are stilled, sinks beau
tifully to rest, leaving the smile of his
departure spread over the warm-col-
ored heaven and the ruddy mountain
head.
Why mourn we then for her, who
having lived so long beyond her al
lotted time, at last, life's blessings>all
enjoyed, life's labors done, has passed
serenely to her final resting place
while the soft memory of her virtues
fingers like twilight hues when the
bright sun has set.
Her youth was innocent, her ripper
years marked with some act of good
ness every day, and were everyone
for whom she did some loving service
to bring a blossom to her grave she
now would be sleeping beneath a will
derness of flowers.
Watched by eyes that loved her,
ministered to by hands that never
grew weary, calmly and peacefully
faded her late declining years away.
Cheerfully shesgave her being up and
went to share the holy rest that
awaits well spent life.
Her life was useful, contented and
happy; every day she gave thanks for
the fair existence that was hers, and
o, how glad we should be that she has
lived thus long and glad that she has
gone to her reward nor deem that He
who doeth all things well, did her
wrong the vital cord to softly disen-
gage.
When her kindly eye grew dark
with the mists of age and her hands
grew palsied it was her time to go.
Instead then, of grieving over her de-
parture, let us take comfort in the
thought that if we live our lives like
hers was lived the time will come
when we will hear that sweet voice
say: "Come unto me all ye who are
weary and heavy laden and will give
you rest.

Dependability of the Wheel Horse

AMONG the final utterances of Uncle Joe Can
a non, who has served his country n half cen.
fury in congress, before taking his departure for
his home at Danville, is found this:
Since L first came to congress, fifty years ago.
there have been many changes, and great events
have taken their places in the history of our coun-
try and the world. One thing that impresscs me
as 1 look back over the years is how different
things look in the light of time.
Il am a confirmed optimist. I know we are
moving forward all the time. But 1 have never
been disturbed by being called a reactionary. It
has been said that the American people are the
most idealistic and the most practical people in
the world, but sometimes their idealism runs very
strong and is followed by stern practical demon
stration after they begin to realize the cost.
"Idealism is an essential of civilization, but tho
professional idealists have their heads in the
clouds and leave those who keep their feet on the
ground to pay the freight. The great majority of
us have 10 keep our feet on the ground and our
thoughts more or less concentrated on the develop
ment of the materials that come from the ground
and produce the wherewithal to develop ideaIigm.
This is as true of politics as it is of business and
industry.
"We talk about the leaders In congress and what
they will do to restore normally, but leaders in
congress are somewhat like the leaders in the old
fourhorse team. When I drove such q team many
years ago / relied moro ON the wheel horses that
wore heavy breeding and held back on the down
grade, as well as pulled on the up grade"

Bank of Gillette. The only theory
evolved by his friends for commits.
sion Of the rash act is worry over
personal matters and i'll health. That
Shields intended to make a complete
Job Of 1t is evidenced by the fact that
when he repaired to the country club
near the city he left no word or letter
OF explanation, consumed n large
Quantity of ether and then shot him
SELF through h head with a revoL-
ver. Tho suicide took place in the
middle OF the forenoon. and the body
wa not discovered until after 3 o.
clock In the afternoon. In addition
to being president OF the bank Shields
was mayor of Gillette and president
and treasurer of the Peerless Coel
Company. Tho miners Of the coal
company went on strike last week,
which was n cause II WORRY.
Shields was born in johnson county

ucs OF european nations In the last sentence

alton today. America and Americans should
realise mat the torrent of propaganda now flood

preston in former generations that the cables. tho
newspapers, the syndicate writer's, the highly Maid
platform and club speakers furnish them today.
put tney exhausted every device of propaganda
known to their respective periods.
Each European power today, quite as much as
IN Adams time, is trying TO persuade America TO
engage IN European affairs as its ally and fnan.
cier. Great Britain is bending every energy and
exercising every art of propaganda to have the
United states form an alliance with her in order
to give her strength in her quarrels with the rest
OF Europe. She wants the United States to help
solve the problems of Europe-in the way Great
Britain wants them solved.
Clemeneeau came to this country asking the
United States to join in ~righting affairs in Eu.
rope by taking the side of France.
Numerous German leaders have given out inter
V1cws stating the European problem would he
solved il the United States were to notify the other
European nations that Germany's position is right
and Germany could count upon the backing of the
United States in maintaining its position.
Ex,Premier Nitti, of Italy, in a recent article
widely circulated in the United States said the
duty OF the United States is to go into Europe and
tear up the Versailles treaty; that so long as the
territorial boundaries fixed by that treaty existed
there would be war in Europe and that no power
could wipe out these boundaries except the
United States.
On the other hand, every one of the small ma
tons whose boundaries we're fixed by this treaty
conceive 1t to be the duty of the United States
TO intervene in order TO preserve the bounda RIGS,
How would European nations have the United
states do the thing which they believe it ought to
do: They frankly state she should accomplish it
by the exercise of force or by bribery-that is, by
buying results with promises of cancelled debts
due or issuance of new loans without ex-
pectation of their ever being paid.
The good advice of John Adams in 1909 is lust as
good and just as pertinent today.
