he was unsuccessful in his pre-

everybody admired the manly
spirit in which he took his de-
feat, and Republicans and Dem

lend him a helping hand. This
paper is pleased to add its in

by going to the polls next Tues

Sweeping ToLOard
Mudd
Despite Strenuous Efforts
Against Hin, ODDS Appear
In His Favor.

Notwithstanding the desperate,
and almost frantic efforts which
his opponents are making to stem
the tide in his favor, the candid
acy of Thomas B. r. Mudd for
the State Senate appears to be
growing by leaps and bounds,
and unless something unforeseen
transpires between now and next
Tuesday, Election Day, he will
be declared the choice of the
people of Charles County for
their representative in the upper
branch of the General Assembly
of Maryland
Every political string has been
pulled, pressue" has been
put on in every quarter, but
strange as it may seem, the
campaign Oh opposition to the
Mudd candidacy has met with
little real encouragement, and
appears to be almost entirely de-
void of genuine enthusiasm. On
the other hand, sentiment every
where seems to be strongly in
favor of giving the younger man
a chance, and at the same time
of putting an end to the already
overriding continuance in power
of one set of public officials.

ularly known throughout the

EMERGENCY FREIGHT RATE ON
FEEDS EXTENDED

Word has just been received by the
County Agent that the half fright rate
granted by the railroads on feeds has
been extended to November Both.
Farmers would do well to calculate
iced reeuirments for the winter and
order during November if they need
as much as a carload or put their
order with one of the dealers OF the
county for delivery in November to
take advantage o this cut n the
freight rates.
Men in high position have declared
that this reduction in freight by the
railroads has been the most important
and most practical contribution to
drought relief. The railroads have
already passed several millions o +
earning in hauling feeds direct to the
farmer, In case any farmer, group OF
farmers or dealers wish to order feeds
they can secure certificate for the
freight rate reduction from County
Agent P. D. Brown.

SELECT SEED CORN

Corn shocking is well under way in
Charles County and this is one year
when it will soon be done. To insure
a crop for next year it is very i'm
portant that seed be secured this fall
and well taken care of. Pick over
your corn carefully and select the
sound ears from it and store them in
a place where mice and rates will not
modest it and where it will not be
picked up and used for feeding pur-
poses. After seiectingi it if you haven't
sufficient corn for seed purposes or it
is not good enough see your neighbor
and if he can supply you get it now
and put it away in a safe place. The
County gent can supply you with the
names of farmers that will have some
seed corn to sell. Those farmers who
do have a surplus of corn fit for seed
should supply their neighbors and re-
place the amount sold with some of
the other feeding grains that are more
plentiful and reasonable priced, such
as wheat, oats and rye. Any farmer
who has an extra supply of corn suit
able for seed should get in touch with
the County gent and list it with him
so he can inform the less fortunate
farmers.

TRAINING YOUNG EYES
BY DIR. J. FRED ANDREAE

By DR.. J. FRED ANDREAE
The proper use of the eyes is largely
a matter of education according to
DR.. j, Fred Andreae, Member OF the
Maryland State Board of Optometry,
and while this is generally an uncon.
scious practice it is one which may
readily be promoted. When children
are looking at various objects and
playing with their toys it is very de-
sirable to take little trouble to
educate them in proper visual percep-
ton.
Ii, for example. the child is looking
at house direct his attention sue
cessivelS to the various parts of the
house such as the masonry, the roof,
its color, shape, position, ETC., IN
order to accustom him when looking
at any OBJECT to involuntarily take
note OF all its details at the same time.
Later when the child begins to reason
for himself teach him to. note and
estimate its length and height and to
obseye carefully the size and distance
of objects that he may promote that
muscular sence by which W e judge
distance and magnitud
In looking over pictures, teach him
to observe the important points of
each that he may have the habit OF
minute and careful rather than super
fetal observation. L n e power Of
mentality depends much upon t h e
manner in which the use of vision and
the act of seeing is exercised. The child
which observes carefully and correctly
will be the most successful student and
the bigger success in the calling which
he viii later choose.
