ECONOMY EXAMPLE
URGED BY COOLIDGE
Stresses Federal Efforts for
Inspiration They Furnish
to Citizens.

President Coolidge, in a radfo ad-
dress delivered today on the occasion
of the opening of the Women's
Worlds Fair in Chicago, declared
that an advantage to be gained from
Government economy and efficiency is
the inspiration they provide for pur-
suit of such methods in business and
in the home.
IF the people," asserted the Presi-
dent, in the daily management of
their modest domestic affairs, note
that the greatest interests of their
governments and of their semi-public
institutions are dealt with in a spirit
OF laXity and a mood of carelessness,
they find little inspiration to apply
better methods in the management of
their own concerns. The great busi-
ness operations which are constantly
under tha4public eye ought to be han
died so as to make them an example
in sound procedure.
Importance of Economy
The Importance of sound business
methods was never so great as 1t is
today. 1t is particularly true that
Government business should be placed
on basis of rigid economy.
lin our modern society. public and
private savings are quickly transmit
ed into capital available for produc-
ton. The increased production makes
goods more plentiful and therefore
cheaper; and at the lower price level
people can afford to consume more
The real disaster to a modern com
munity comes when easy and ill-con-
sidered consumption prevents the
storing away of new capital to meet
the ever-increasing demands"
Commends Fair Sponsors.
Mr.. Coolidge commended sponsors
Of the fair for placing their work on
a business basis by establishing
budget, with a result that all expenses
were met before the doors were ready
to be opened. This financial accom-
plishment, be added, presents a
project of like character, supported in
easy fashion out of public funds"
''I know Of nothing more calculated
to promote the pride of vigorous COM
munity life, the sentiments of self
respecting nationalisnl, the truest 10y
atty to high traditions of national
character. than these distinctive as
semblies of the people," declared the
President.
Danger of Ignorance.
IF we could find means to bring all
the people and groups of the people
truly to know and understand each
other, l am confident most of our So
cial problems would have been started
we'll on the way to solution. 1t is not
intolerance so much as ignorance
that leads men and nations into an
tagonisms."
Pointing out the benefits to be
gained from holding the fair. which
opened today in Chicago. Mr.. Coolidge
said: Our country wants it's arts and
sciences, it's commerce and agricul-
ture, it's production and transporta-
ton, it's education and invention, not
merely that they may be used in the
market place, the factory and the
field, but that they may all be trans
lated into the home"
"All of these Efforts he said, "are
for broadening the outlook on life, for
making better men and women; they
all have the purpose to become effec-
tive forces at the fireside. For long
ages past men have gone forth into

Colora; Helen Murphy and Marion
Reynolds, of Mt. Pleasant; Dorthy
Sarvin and Frances and Emma Tay-
lor, of Rowlandville; Lena Hershour

and by Mr.. and Mrs. Steen, who were
with the campers every night except
Wednesday. Mr. Balderston and
Mr.. Lippincott took turns motoring
down in the evenings, bringing fresh
supplies of milk and ice, and return
ing in the early marning.

who helped to make the trip possi-
BILE and are glad to report that the
receipts from the festival held at
Colora on the ,29th~ covered all ex-
penses, with gsmall balance left in
the treasury. There was total
taken in that night of $3.50, of
which $20.40 was cleared.

CECIL COUNTY TOUR

Places Of interest to both the
men and the women OF Cecil
County are scheduled for the tour
to be held Saturday, August 22nd.

preservation of food for the family
is of particular interest to the home
maker. The tour includes illustra-
lions of both the commercial and
home types of food preservation.
At Colora, the canning houses will
be open for inspection. Often it is
a saving for the housewife to buy
commercial products. She will be
pleased to see how these are handled
in Cecil County. Here some men
and women will welcome the Nop-
portunity of seeing a fine garden.
Mrs. M. H. Tatum has one that is
well worth going miles to see.
The home canning, exhibit will be
one prepared by several club women
and Miss Grimm, and will show
modern methods and equipment for
home preservation of meats, fruits,
and vegetables. This will be ar
ranged on the veranda of the Nc
Keown home. Club women will be
present to answer questions on
canning.
There are several furnished club
rooms in Cecil County; one is in
cluded in the itinerary for Saturday.
The Appleton Woman's Club has
furnished an attractive room over
Lofiand's store, at Cowentown, and
extends cordial invitation to the
tourists to be guests there for a
while. An exhibit Of interest is in
place for inspection. Light refresh
ments will be served to break the
hours between breakfast and lunch.
The farmers wife is interested in
the farmers business, so trips to
the orchards, the dairy houses, the
chicken yards, the tomato and corn
fields, may also be taken with him.
The hour is planned as joint tour
of value to both men and women.
The social side of such a trip has
not been neglected. Basket lunch
will be enjoyed on Emstrom's lawn
on the shore of the Elk River. For
those who desire swim, the trip
may be extended to Town Point
wharf.

KEPT FAITH WITH HOLD
UP MAN

A daylight hold-up in which one
| of Rising Suns garage men was
forced to hand over his loose
change, was pulled off last week
near town. A telephone call for a
tire and tube was received at the
Scott Wilson garage about nine
O'Clock one morning, coming from q
stranded motorist about one and
a-half miles east of town. Lester
Wilson took tube out to the wait
ing motorist and was given as
surance of satisfactory settlement.
After the change of tubes had
been made Lester was invited to
take little spin in the machine to
see that everything was all right.
When payment was asked, the
business end of a revolver was
jabbed in Testers ribs and a de-
mand made for his cash. This de-
mand was not long in being COM
Piled with, and about $500 promptly
handed over. Previous to this, how
ever, Lester had not been very
favorably impressed with his pros
pective customer, and had managed
to toss his watch and pocket book
over the fence unobserved.
After being relieved of his spare
change the garage man was ordered
to get in his car and beat it, and not
to mention what had transpired
until six O'Clock that evening or
some of the gang would "get'' him.
Lester kept faith, even returning
to the scene of the hold-up later In
the day, borrowing scythe at Q,
nearby farm house, to cut the weeds
in his search for watch and pocket
book, which were recovered.
When he finally made known the
robbery all trace of the hold-up
man was lost, but on investigation
it was found the tags on the Stude-
baker machine driven by the bandit
belonged on Ford, the Stude-
baker evidently being a stolen
machine.

A youth, aged about, seventeen
years, dressed in jumper and blue
overalls, loitered about the restau-
rants and stores in town Wednes-
day, inquiring the road to Bay View,
In the afternoon he was noticed
coming out of the back door of
Reynolds Department store. with a
large box of candy, and suspicion
was at once aroused. He made
his way rapidly up Walnut street,
and Andrew Manguette gave chase,
finally heading him OFF. The lad
was relieved of the box of candy and
placed in the lookup tor safe
keeping.
He was taken to Elkton jail
later. 1t is supposed he wandered
