brought to our minds the i'm
portance Of carrying our own bur
dens and being satisfied with our
own lot. To say that the Queen
Esther Girls made wonderful i'm
preston Is expressing It very mild.

plainly the appreciation of the

ROCKVILLE. Nd, November L.
The Fall meeting of the Montgomery
County Anti-Saloon League, held re-
Gently in the Methodist Church at
Laytonsville. was enlivened by a de-
bate between Emory l. Coblenz,
prominent Frederick County Demo-
crat and one of the recognized dry
leaders OF the State. and George w.
Crabbe, State superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League
Mr.. Coblenz could see no reason
why David c. Winebrenner, Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress-, should
not be satisfactory to the league, in
asmuch as he stands for rigtd law
enforcement. Mr.. Crabbe, however,
argued that Mr.. Zihlman, the Repub-
lican candidate, had stood the "acid
test" and was not only for law en-
forcement, but was opposed to any
change in the Volstead law.
The question of indorsing ono or
the other OF the candidates was not
put to a vote, although there was q
marked division OF sentiment In the
large gathering. The failure Of the
meeting to act means that the mem-
bers OF tho league will be left to gov
ern themselves Tuesday. The meet
ing was conductd by the president,
Rev. Clarence Corkran Of Washing
ton Grove. Morning and afternoon
sessions were held.

C1emenceau, who has just turned

The American felt that his implied

folding the tomatoes, and the
American assented but without en-
thusiasm.
Clemenceau Is a poor man and
lives frugally. His monthly ex-
penses are probably less than 1000
francs or roughly $500.
