the bitter rivalry between the Mac

sacrificing her life almost to warn
the Macs of treachery and finally
marrying the strong young head of

DIR. WRIGHT TO RETIRE
BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH
Former Mt. Lake Nj. E. Pastor
Will Enter Sanitarium For
Treatment

Homecoming, Md, April 5.-After
seven years service as pastor of the
first Methodist Episcopal church of
Homecoming, Rev. DR.. U. S. Wright,
left during the past week for the
Maryland State Sanitarium where he
will take treatments for his heart,
which has become weakened in the
last few months as the direct re-
suit of a severe attack of grippe.
Known throughout Homecoming and
vicinity as 'the hatless parson" Dr..
Wright's ill health is a surprise to
many, as, in his daily work of minis
tering to the spiritual needs of his
flock he never mentioned his con-
dition-leading everyone to believe
that he was in the best of health.

Thinks Maryland Should Find
Significance In Forest Week

MARYLAND, with forest area thirty
five per cent Of its total land area, yet
dependent upon other States for five
sixths of its lumber, should find
American Forest Week particularly
significant, the National Forest Week
Committee pointed out recently.
Proclaimed by President Coolidge
for April "a to 80, American Forest
Week is the annual call to all citizens
to take part in bringing about better
forest conditions. Marylanders inter-
ested in forestry are urged by the
national committee to get in touch
with De Courcy W. Thorn, of Balti-
more, State chairman, and offer him
cooperation in the local observance of
the week.
Freight 100000 Yearly.
Although few sections are situated
more favorably for timber growing
than Maryland, with its valuable tree
species, suitable soil, nearness to TIM
Der markets, and its possession of i'm
portant wood-using industries, the
State annually pays a freight bill on
imported lumber of S5,000,000, the
committee asserted.
Maryland forests contain tree spec
les of the greatest variety and of the
highest commercial value found in
Eastern United States. The loblolly,
species of pine, is at home in Mary
land and grows more rapidly there
than in any other section, it is, said.
Big Loss In Forested Area.
The original forested area of $780,
900 acres has decreased to 2,230,000
acres, much Of which is cut-over and
culled forest. Reforestation, however,
is being carried on with considerable
success. AS a private business propo-
sition tree growing has been in prac-
tice for many years.
The State now has nursery, with
an annual output of 100000 forest
tree seedlings. For supplying forest
pIdIIlilS SlOSh W Id Illc StcCS
has allotted S3,731 for 1927. To this
amount the United States Forest
Service will add $4,000. For fire pro-
lection, the State maintains system
of local fire wardens, with power to
employ fire-fghting assistants. A
chain of fire-observation towers
covers most of the State. This and
other State forestry matter are under
a State Board of Forestry, whose
secretary, F. W. Besley, is the State
Forester.
No Special Taxation Laws.
There are no special forest taxation
laws favorable to reforestation, as
sessment being at the local property
rate.
The six State forests have an area
of 1859 acres and the community
forests of cities and towns an area Of
5000. The Camp Meade military
reservation has about 5000 acres of
woodland under the administration of
the Forest Service.

A TRIBUTE.

The day is done and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its flight.
1 see the lights of the village,
Clean through the rain and mist
And a feeling of sadness comes Ger
me,
A feeling l cannot resist.
For like strains of muffled music
These mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless cares are over
And tonight our comrades at rest.
What beauty, and yet what sadness
these tender lines convey. Too sadly
do they describe our own little town
just now. Tis in sadness all, even
the voice of the small stream seems
stifed with the dreary, mournful
splashing of the chilling rain. With
slow but sure and steady hand God
has taken another link from the fam
lily chain, and has claimed him for his
own-Mr Abraham Wotring, man
known to many far and near.
A dear one from our midst has gone,
A form we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in the home
That never can be filed.
He was kind, affectionate and I'M
selfish, and lover of small children.
He was supremely happy when sur
rounded by small children. 1t will be
sad but sweet thought, for in his
last illness re requested that only his
family watch his bedside, which was
willingly granted.
His infant son, Harry, preceded him
to the grave some years ago. We re-
member so often of hearing him wish
the time was here for him to go to
meet little Harry. If we would but
live our lives here on earth, taking
him as an example. 1t could truth
fully be said that our assurance with
God would be certain. The beautiful
floral offerings were mere emblems of
the esteem we all held for him.
Sad as it was when the end came,
he looked into the eyes of his faithful
companion and said, "Mother, I'm 60
ing home" All that loving hands
could do was done, but God who doeth
all things well had called to his faith
full servant "well done, come up high
err" Though he suffered he never
complained, and his face gave express
sion akin to that above until his feeble
frame could no longer withstand the
stern demand of disease, and his soul
returned to God who gave it.
The deceased is survived by his be-
reaved wife, and two daughters, Mrs.
w. E. Shirer and Mrs. Elsie Ashby,
both of Oakland, and one brother, Mr..
Joe Wotring, of Aurora, and five
grandchildren.
Only the truth on earth he has spoken,
Only the seeds on earth he has sown
These shall pass onward when he is
forgotten,
Only remembered by what he has
done.

MRS IZETTA BROWN TO
WE'D ENGINEERING PROF:
Famous Preston Co. Woman Will
Become Bride April 16 of
Union College Dean.

To announce the engagement and
marriage of Mrs. Izetta Jewel Brown,
of Kingwood and Washington, to
Dean Hugh Miller of Union College,
Schenectady, N. Y, Mrs. James Rog-
ers Moreland entertained Thursday
afternoon at her home on Preston
road, 'Morgantown, with a reception
of elaborate appointments at which
$50 friends of Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Moreland were received.
Each guest on arriving was pre-
scented with jonquil in which was
hidden slip of paper bearing the
words, Brown Miller, April &c." The
ceremony will be performed in
Georgetown, D. c., at the home of
Mrs. Alvin Dodd, an intimate friend
of Mrs. Brown, at noon Saturday,
April 16. There will be no attendants,
but a number of West Virginia
friends of Mrs. Brown will be pres
emit.
Mrs. Brown is a nationally promin-
ent figure and her exceptionally bril-
liant career covers many fields; the
stage, having been the leading woman
for Otis Skinner, James K. Hackett,
and other leading actors; dairy farm
ing, politics, travel, newspaper writ
ing and campaign work for the lead
ers of the Democratic party.
I'm 1914 she was married to Will
liam G. Brown, Jr., a representative
in Congress from the Second district
of West Virginia. Mr.. Browns death
occurred in 1916, six weeks after the
birth of their daughter, Miss June
Brown.
During the war Mrs. Brown was
unusually active and it was at this
time that she met her fiance, then
Capt. Miller, at Camp Humphrey.
Twice she was a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the United
States Senate. Although she was de-
feated both times she made such re-
markable contests that she became
known over the entire country as one
of the leading women in politics.
In 1924 at the national Democratic
convention held in Madison Square
Garden, New York, Mrs. Brown sec
onded the nomination of John w.
Davis for the presidency. She also
seconded his nomination at the 1920
convention.
Mr.. Miller is an authority in educa-
tional matters, especially in engineer
ing. Until last fall he was Dean of
the College of Engineering of Geo.
rye Washington University. He now
holds the same office at Union College
at Schnectady. Mr.. Miller is the son
of the late Charles Dexter Miller,
former president of the New York
Cotton Exchange. He is a graduate
of Princeton, in the class of 1901.
He has held professorships at
Princeton, Harvard, Rice Institute, at
Houston, Texas, George Washington
University and Union College. From
1917 until 1921, he was captain of
engineers in the army. Upon resign
ing he was retired to the Reserves
with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
He is a widower and has two sons,
both students at Princeton.

1t is notable that for the past ten
years, DR.. Wright has never worn a
hat or cap-because, as he states, he
found it too much trouble to be con-
tinually tipping" his headpiece to
women whom he would meet on the
street. Craving slightly at the tenn
Piles, DR.. Wright's hair is thick
mass-prospering apparently on the
air. During the colder days and
through the thick of rain, snow and
sleet, the minister went about sans
hat or cap. gtt
Coming here in 1920 from HWnd-
man, Pa, where he spent two years,
DR.. Wright's popularity began to in
crease in leaps and bounds from the
start. Apparently never in hurry
he would stop on the streets to talk
or joke with anyone-and never
drew the line on faith or creed. He
has as many friends of Catholic and
other faiths as of his own faith.
Wrote for Religious Journals.
Aside from being an active preach
err, DR.. Wright is somewhat of a
Fourth Estater," having written for
many papers and magazines. He was
at one time Epworth League and Sun
day school editor for the Baltimore
Methodist" and the Washington
"Christian Advocate" Up until last
week he furnished weekly Sunday
School lessons for the Oakland Re-
publican. He is a director of the
Mountain Lake Park Association, and
has taught the Mems Bible Glass
there many times. He also attended
Epworth League conventions there.
His first charge, 25 years ago, was at
Taylorsville, Md, he being admitted
to the conference from his former
home at Knoxville, Carroll county.
He was educated at Dickinson Col
lege, Carlisle, Pa.
WOrk SnOWS Big Results.
Since coming to Homecoming, DR..
Wright has increased the Sunday
School enrolment from about 125 to
over 500 active members and the en-
rollment in the church has increased
about 35 per cent. Only last Sunday
he admitted 80 persons to membership
in the church representing the work
of the winter months. He has also
inaugurated the Epworth League
here. He has always been prominent
in Epworth League work, being a
member of the faculty of the Epworth
League Institute of the Baltimore
Conference. 1t is not uncommon for
him to be greeted as "Uncle Sam"
on the streets of Baltimore or Wash
ington by some student of the insti-
tute. The trend of international af-
fairs does not escape his attention and
he is always able to talk with author
ity on any subject affecting the af-
fairs of state.
Several hundred books including
religious, historical and technical
works can be found in his library.
Always active i'm anything tending
for the betterment of the city or in
dividuals, the removal of DR., Wright
will be deeply regretted in this sec
ton. 1t is thought that he will be
confined to the sanitarium for the
next three months after which he will
take up another charge If. conditions
permit. During his stay in. the hos
pital his family viii remain in Iona

the plan to secure the cooperation of trappers and prospectors in all sec tions of the Territory which have been invaded by the predatory ami mals, and neffort is to be made also to interest the federal government in the work which is now being carried on single-handed by the Territory.
 In addition to preying on the young of moose and caribou and consuming the food rightfully belonging to fur bearing animals, coyotes are direct ing their attention to the breeding grounds of water fowl. Between the coyotes, eagles, hawks and two spe- cie sof owls which prey on the nest ing places, ducks and geese are de- creasing rapidly in numbers. Mir. Stewart says.
 MT. Stewart points out that tlere is real money in trapping coyotes in ad- dition to the assistance rendered in controlling the predatory animal situ- ation. There is bounty of $15 for each coyote taken and the pelt has a market value of $10 and upwards.
 MT. Stewart will be pleased to con- fer with trappers and prospectors. On Saturday he will leave for the coast, en route to the headwaters of Copper river, where he will continue his inve- sigations, working down toward Cor dova. Later in the winter he will go to Southeastern Alaska, working among the islands, where wolves are causing havoc among the deer. He will return to the railroad belt next spring probably, and plans to spend the coming summer in the interior, continuing the work which he started this yeor.
