ley preached.
In 1850, Strawbridge came to Amer
lea and settled on Sans Creek, in
Carroll County, Maryland, and as soon
as his house was built and in order
began to hold religious services and
to form class meetings. Thus Carroll
county can properly be regarded as
the cradle of American Methodism.
The first Methodist society was
formed at Strawbridge's home in 1853
or 1764, and the first log meeting
house, "a feet square, was erected in
the latter year, about one mile from
the Strawbridge home, near New
Windsor, in what was then Frederick
County. A tablet has been recently
placed in honor of Strawbridge and
to mark the nearby site of the First
Methodist Episcopal chapel in Amer
lea.
The farm of so acres on which the
Strawbridge home stood, was pur-
chased in 1773 from John England,
ST., for one dollar per acre, after
Strawbridge had resided there thir-
teen years. His activities radiated
from this farm and the societies
which he formed were subsequently
Joined together in the historic "Bal-
timore Circuit" formed in 1768. He
extended his labors to the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Virginia and
into Pennsylvania, so that by the time
Francis Asbury visited Maryland in
1772, he reported that he travelled
"three hundred miles in six weeks"
visiting the preaching places of
Strawbridge on both shores of Mary
land.
When the first annual conference of
the church was held in Philadelphia
in 1773, 500 members were reported
from Maryland of the 1850 in Amer
lea. At the close of the Revolution,
the membership had grown to approx
imately $4,000.
The first General Conference met at
Lovely Lane Meeting House in Balti-
more and the Methodist Episcopal
Church of America was organized in
1884.
From the humble beginning at the
Strawbridge home in Carroll county
these societies spread until today in
the Methodist Episcopal church alone
there are approximately $1,000 minis
tiers, $4,000 lay preachers, more than
100000 members and nearly $4,000
churches.

An Interesting Fact
AMERICAN METHODISM BEGUN
IN MARYLAND

The seed of American Methodism
was sown in Ireland.
AS early as 1927, a religious soci-
ETY. existed at Oxford, among the
members of which were John and
Charles Wesley. They were called
Methodists, from the methodical way
in which they performed their relig-
Gus duties. At least that was one of
the derivations of the name.
John Wesley was the founder of
Methodism in England, and following
in the footsteps of many of his relig-
ious predecessors sought other lands
to conquer. He went to Ireland and
among his converts was Robert Straw
bridge, at whose house in Ireland Wes-

alcohol and then lukewarm soapsuds
made with mild soap. Rinse with
clear water.
Chocolate-Sprinkle with powdered
borax; then soak for fifteen minutes
with cold water. Remove gently with
cloth and cold water. When dry, re-
move borax with whiskbroom or a
vacuum cleaner.
Grass Stains-Moisten cream of
tartar and rub into stain. When
thoroughly dry, remove from nap with
vacuum cleaner, or sponge with al
cohol.
Grease Spots-Grease spots, which
rot fabric, should be removed at once
with carbon tetrachloride. Apply with
soft cloth, taking up the soil as it
dissolves with clean cloth or blot
ter. Another simple method is to
sprinkle the spot with fuller's earth.
When the grease has been absorbed,
remove with whiskbroom.

Removing Spots and Stains from
Rugs and Carpets

Rugs and Carpets
Small spots-To remove ordinary
dirt spots, brush thoroughly with a
soft brush. Then sponge with mild,
warm soapsuds and rinse carefully
with clear warm water.
Ink Stains-Take up freshly spilled
ink with blotting paper. Then sponge
the spot thoroughly with sweet milk,
allowing the milk to stand several
minutes. Wash out the milk with
clean hot water; to assist in drying,
sprinkle with cornmeal. Old ink stains
may be removed by moistening crys-
tai of citric acid and rubbing the spot
gently, repeating until it disappears:
Be sure to remove all traces of acid
with clear water.
Paint Stains-Fresh paint, if moist,
can be removed by cleaning gently
with a cloth wet in turpentine. If
hardened, remove as much as possible
by gently scraping, then moisten re-
mainder with very little vaseline and
proceed as with wet paint.
Acid Stains-Acids, such as vinegar
and lemon juice, quickly affect colors.
Sponge at once with ammonia water,
four tablespoons of water to one of
ammonia. This will sometimes even
restore changed colors.
Iodine Stains-These glazing stains
can be removed by applying first pure

TOwnley Urges Public
Works Program Here

A. G.. Townley, Farmer-Labor
candidate for congressman-at-large,
denounced the works of the Repub-
lican administration and Democratic
members in the house and senate and
recommended electing men from his
party in a speech made on a Red
wood Falls street corner Friday night.
"The only way in which we can put
this country back on its feet" he said,
sis to put the price on farm products
back where it should be and will have
to be and the only way we can do this
is to put the jobless to work"
Avowing that the price on farm
commodities is the basic form of all
prosperity, he explained how the
federal government could build more
roads, more waterways, reforest the
land and any other kind of public
work to put millions of men back to
work who in turn would buy food that
would bring the prices back, restor-
ing prosperity.
His talk which lasted one hour and
40 minutes dealt in detail with the
depression, it's causes and probable
remedies. "All of the people in the
country must cooperate with one an
other and all work for the best inter-
ests of our country to restore it to
normalcy," he concluded.

He was employed as hired man Of
the Reinhart farm for nine months.
He was a man of regular habits, ris-
ing early aech morning and was known
as faithful worker. He had eaten
light breakfast and dinner the Sum
day previous to his disappearance and
did not come into the farm home for
supper at all. He said he felt all
right when asked about his health. He
had not been away from the Reinhart
farm at all the week previous.
Mr.. Hegerle was little over five
feet tall and weighed about It's
pounds. He had dark hair, blue
eyes, and wore his working clothes
when last seen by Mr.. Reinhart. He
left all of his belongings behind.

Dandelion Cures

Treatment is Of three kinds. The
first would be in the case of whole
sale control. The only method in this
case is to spray with iron sulphate
every three weeks. This will destroy
all the leaves. The production of new
ones robs the roots of food and weak
ems them. Fertilize the lawn to stim-
ulate the grass to healthy state to
limit the growth of new dandelions.
Dissolve one and one-half pounds of
iron sulphate in one gallon of water
and spray it on with a pressure
sprayer. Put on enough to wet the
surface of the dandelion leaves. Do
this on clear, warm day. Do not
get any spray on sidewalks, as it will
stain them permanently. Rinse out
the sprayer as soon as you are
through spraying, to prevent corrod-
ing it.
Where dandelions are very thick,
it is best to spade up the lawn, re-
move the dandelion roots, and reseed
the lawn A good time to reseed is
about September 1. There will be
less weeds to crowd the young grass.
Where dandelions can be handled
individually, a solution of 10 per cent
creosote and 80 per cent kerosene
works very well. This is best applied
by special gun made for that pur-
pose, with spike on the end of it.
This spike is jabbed into the crown
of the dandelion, and valve which
is released at the same time permits
a small amount Of the liquid to flow

EVIDENCE TAKEN
DURING SUMMER
USED in COURT
Kloss And Williams Hear
Testimony Given A t
Former Trial.

Words spoken early in the sum-
mer at the trial before Judge
Vaughn NJ Thompson of Joe Hat
field, Jack Williams and Robert
Kloss for murder, were repeated be-
fore Judge A. C. Finney this morn
ing at the trial of Kloss and Will
liams as accomplices IN the crime
for which Hatfield was convicted of
manslaughter.
Kloss ana Williams listened sto-
Idly as w. j. McClelland, clerk,
read their testimony, given when
they were defendants under a muir
der charge, of which both were ac-
quilted.
Reading of the testimony follow
ed evidence given by j. H. Robert
son, who was at Hatfields ranch
south of Calipatria on the afternoon
of May II, when Hatfield shot and
killed v. Gomez at the climax of
prolonged drinking bout.
Robertson was the first witness
called when court convened, follow
ing continuance from last Mon
day because of the illness of Ly-
man Robertson. Robertson and
Don G. Bitter are defense attorneys.
The witness testified that he did
not see Hatfield shoot Gomez, but
stepped from Hatfield's shack to
see the Mexican lying on the ground
and Hatfield standing with his RI
file in his hand. He heard CONVEX
sations between Kloss, Williams and
Hatfield relative to the disposal OF
the body, which was weighted with
iron and dropped into the Alamo
river, he said.
D. H. Wolford, chief criminal dep
uty district attorney, then moved
to have the testimony of Kloss and
Williams at the former trial read
and his motion was granted. Nc
Clelland, as clerk of the court, read
the testimony from a transcript of
the murder trial.
This testimony was most damag-
ing to the defense in that part
which told how Kloss and Williams
took the initiative in weighing the
body and sinking it into the river
To support the charge that Kloss
and Williams are accessories after
the fact of the Staying, the state
hopes to prove to the :cry that they
concealed the body in an effort to
shield Hatfield.
Williams testimony was read
this morning, and it is probable
that the testimony OF Kloss will be
read this afternoon.
