All Nations March,

But millions now
living will never die. "
Judge Rutherford.

THE WORLD faces a condition never
before experienced. Fear has taken
hold upon all Glasses of people be-
cause they see in measure the things
coming upon the earth The nations
are in distress and perplexity.
THE WAR did not make the world
safe for democracy. The very fuun-
dations OF civilization are now shaken
by revolution, labor strikes, official
lawlessness, profiteers, Bolsheyism
and anarchy. Both capital and labor
are resorting to extreme measures.
The common people have lost conf
dence In their leaders. The clergy
have abandoned the Word of God and
Joined hands with big business and
big politicians in an attempt to con-
troll the world, and these are opposed
by radical forces.
EUROPE is completely bankrupt, with
her restless host Of unemployed and
discontentS hourly increasing. Bel
ligerant organizations are rapidly
numbering their men and taking ac-
count of their strength. All contend
ing forces are fastening to the great
battle of Armsgeddon. The disaster
resulting is beyond the description Of
human words.
BUT let the people take heart. The
Lord will cut short the trouble, bring
order out of chaos, establish peace
and Righteousness; and millions OF
people now living will become ODE
dent to his order of righteousness and
will live on earth forever In peace and
happiness.

The County tuberculosis Clinic.

The first, Of what is hoped will be,
at the residence of Dr. f. ID. Chapel
ear, Hughesviiie, Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Notwithstanding the comparatively
small publicity given this clinic, nine
applicants for examination the first
day gave evidence that future clinics
will be sill better patronized when the
monthly schedule gets into full swing,
and has been better advertised.
The examining physician was able
to diagnose one case of tuberculous
infection, in what might be called a
very early stage OF the disease and
this case if transferred to sanator-
ium, stands every chance of complete
recovery. This disease is an excellent
illustration OF what the clinic is sup
posed to do; i. e., pick up the very
fearly cases, which for the most part
are extremely difficult to diagnose and
which are capable of entire recovery,
under sanatorinm treatment.
Cases which have become arrested
and are quiescent, should also take
advantage of the clinics for regular
examination. Two such cases were
among those present, and both found
to be holding their own, though one
had returned from the sanatorinm two
or three years back, the other being q
more recent graduate.
The next clinic will be held at the
same place early in February, proba-
bly, the 9Th or It'll of that month. Col
ored citizens of Charles county should
bear in mind that all clinics are for
their benefit as we'll as for that OF
white citizens.

| Resolved, by the Maryland State
Grange in session at Bel Air December
1913, 1923, that we note with hearty
approval the educational progress go
/ ing on in Maryland. The State and
county school officials promised the
last Legislature that the program then
proposed for the betterment Of the pub
lie schools offered means for imme-
diate and substantial Improvement in
the quality Of teaching. These prom.
Uses are being redeemed. Already IL
appears from official reports that there
are fifteen per cent more trained teacb-
ers in service; that one-half of the nor
NAL school graduates go into rural
schools where the need for better
teaching Is greatest; that provision Is
being made for the training OF an ade-
quate number OF elementary teachers
to al all vacancies that occur; and
that through special State aid to poor
er counties no child is deprived OF an
equal opportunity with every other
child to secure the best education of
which he is capable.
Resolred, that we commend the sys-
TEN now in effect OF training teachers
in service through summer schools, ex-
tension teaching and helpful superyis-
ion.
Resolred, that we recognize in the
.quckening of interest in the CONSOLE
daticn OF rural schools an indication
of q wider recognition of the fact that
the isolated country school does not
as rule give the farmers child a
square deal. Consolidated schools

POOR SPECIMENS OF CLAY

Only a small, reckless minority of
car drivers are the ones responsible
for the terrible toll of life and limb
to the motor moloch. Can't we find
IL way to sit upon their necks and
apply the bastinado to their re-
spective other ends?
In ten years the rate of motor
accidents has been doubled by this
reckless minority's misdeeds. which
are cowardly in their nature as the
greater part of the $4,000 deaths and
C7s.oOO serious personal accidents
last year were inflicted upon men,
women and children On foot.
OF course it would be. barbarous
to restore the whipping post and
severely lash the backs of every
reckless motorist. but there isn't
the slightest doubt but 1t would re-
duce the number of accidents. That
shows Of what sort Of inferior clay
are these people made. who utterly
disregard the rights Of others.

after While when anyone asks you
something about your own. your ma =

uumb-bell. Most of us, when
asked about Maine have the appear
ance Of being congenital idiots.
The facts have been compiled by
the Maine State Agricultural League
and State Chamber of Commerce. /
am simply shooting them along for
the good of society.
Maine is 210 miles wide and 800
miles long in the greatest extent. It
contains 33,040 square miles.
1t Is almost exactly as large AZ all
of the rest of New England put to-
gether. Aroostook is as large as
Rhode Island and/Connecticut com.
bine1. And that makes It 6.04s
square miles. Now let that soak in.
Maine Is 210x320 and has $4,000
square miles in 1t.
There are 16 counties, 20 cities: 107
towns; 81 organized plantations and
l74 unorganized communities.
Maine has 1000 lakes. Moosehead
is the largest body of fresh water
entirely within the borders of any
state in the U. S. 4.
We hear much about our 1000

is 2so miles. The tidal coast line.
