FOR STATE SENATOR

To the Voters of Garrett County,
From 1910 to 1922, a period of
twelve years, the people of Garrett
county placed their confidence in me
by electing me as their representative
in the Senate of Maryland.
During my term of office much i'm
portant legislation affecting Garrett
county, as well as the State of Mary
land, was enacted. The obligations
resting upon me in that regard were
discharged honestly, conscientiously,
faithfully and fearlessly.
At the request of many of my
friends and citizens of Garrett county
l have decided, after due considera-
ton, to again become candidate for
that important office on the Republican
ticket, subject to the primaries.
With deep appreciation for the con-
fidence heretofore reposed in me and
with assurance of faithful and con-
scientious discharge of duty, if again
elected, l have the honor to remain,
with great respect,
Yours very truly,
HARVEY j. SPEICHER.

is worth considering. 1t can and it
must-unless it wishes to commit sui
cide-go modern. 1t can follow the
example of the school and consolidate.
All UNCONVENTIONAL lines would have
to disappear before large commun-
ity could unite solidly in the erection
and upkeep of modern building. If
the church is to keep up with the
times, it must go modern not only by
consolidating as the schools have
done, but it must give to its congrega-
tons the most wholesome and capa-
bic leadership-leadership which is
able to grapple with the changing
PROBLEMS which are constantly agitat-
ing the minds of both old and young.
Merely reading the old rules and re-
citing the old WORKOUT formulas will
neither attract nor hold a congrega-
ton when the most remote farmer in
the State can sit by his fire on Sun
day morning and listen to the ablest
preachers in the world and feel the
thrill of music from great organs

NO OTHER WAY

The French government is running
true to form by subjecting its Amer
lean import trade to highly re-
structive rs per cent quota reduction;
and the fact that other countries are
equally affected does not make its
action any the less stupid affront
and piece of gross ingratitude.
In a material way, France directly
owes its very existence as an indepen-
dent nation to aid given it by the
United States. 1t also owes this coun-
try several billions of dollars loaned
to it while we were under the i'm
preston that the government in Par
is was an honest institution.
Often Americans are told that the
attitude of the French government
toward the United States is COM
pletely misrepresentation of the atti-
tude and feeling of the real French
people, and there is every reason to
believe that this is so. Unquestiona-
bly, M. Herriott is insisting that his
nation must pay what it owes Amer
lea and generally must play fair with
US, far more truly represents the
sentiment of his countrymen than the
common run of turbulent, irresponsi-
BILE senators and representatives do.
Unfortunately, however, the United
States and it's people cannot go be-
hind Paris in dealing with France.
And there seems to be only one thing
to do. The word boycott" is an ugly
one, but apparently nothing less than
retaliative boycott ever will bring
official France to its senses.
The single, practical, self-protective
thing for Washington and the coun-
try at large to do, as matters stand, is
to determine to have as little inter-
course as possible with France, COM
mercially, socially or politically, until
it decides upon honorable methods in
Guiding payment of what it owes us
and the adoption of decent CONNER
cial policy. AS to French wines, we
don't need them. California can pro-
vide all that are necessary and of a
good quality.-Detroit Free Press.

FUTURE OVERLOOKED?-

Was the future of Oakland over
looked when the airport project was
dropped, simply because the towns
charter did not provide for renting or
leasing a piece of ground as site
for the airport? SIS.
Many airport sites are being APP
proved in Maryland and work being
started. Where towns do not lease
the ground, business mems organiza-
tions, chambers of commerce and
other bodies are stepping in and TAX
ing over the cost of the rental for the
fve-year period required by the Fed
eral Government.
In West Virginia citizens of several
towns are donating the use of the
ground for the airport, turning it over
to the town for five years, with no
cash outlay. They are alive to the
future benefits which might be de-
rived from having municipal air.
port. ts.u
If there isn't enough money among
local organizations to rent a field for
five years, isn't there some citizen
who has plot of ground near town,
level enough and good enough to be
used, who will donate it? If it is
not purchased within five years it re-
verts to the owner and it will be none
the worse for the wear
This airport business ought not to
die. Aviation experts agree that a
landing field is needed in this section
of the mountains. If it doesn't come
to Oakland, it will go somewhere else.
And it is hard to foretell the number
of advantages which might be had in
the future by having a modern run
way for airplanes to alight and take
to the air. The officials were ready
two weeks ago to lay out the field
here and begin operations, but there
was no field.
Let's think about this and then act.

because the market for most of the
varieties had become poor" says the
Portland (Oregon) Journal, "they top
grated the trees and this year they
harvested a beautiful crop of Yellow
Newtons, Ortleys, Red Delicious and
Red Gravensteins.
among the varieties eliminated
were Spitzberges, King Davis, North
ern Spys and Grimes Golden-all good
apples, but not in popular demand"
Here" says the Journal, twas an
organization threatened with failure.
Several varieties in the orchard had
lost caste with the public, but the
owners did not despair. They didn't
decry their bad luck in having filled
their orchards with unpopular varie-
ties. Full of the spirit of the Oregon
pioneer they top-grafted their trees
with varieties of apples that the pub
lie wants"
If these orchardists had bull
headidly insisted on trying to sell
what is not being bought they would
have lost heavily, but they had the
good sense to cater to the public de-
mand There is a lesson in this for
all men who seek living from the
soil.
In sections where farmers have
chung to cash crops which were not
paying them they have suffered max
imum loss. Farmers who have diver
sifed and undertaken to feed their
families and their stock have Jared
comparatively well. Their heads are
above water. Their stomachs are
filled. Their stock is in good health.

and gifted choirs just as if he were
comfortably seated in the churches of
San Francisco. The most obscure
country preacher now has to COM
pete for attention with the ablest di-
vines. Therefore, the country church
and its pastor, like the country news
paper, must give to the people some
thing which they would rather have
than what comes in out of the air.
Country life cannot live and do it's
part towards sustaining our civiliza-
ton without the help of the country
church. The church cannot exist
without the united support of strong
groups of population. These groups
cannot be held together without the
feeling that their spiritual needs are
being supplied. Therefore, if the
country church is to survive and play
its part in the life fthe community,
it must feed its people on something
which contains spiritual vitamins.
People will no longer go where their
spiritual hunger is not gratifed.

uniformed writers and speakers and
good many political fakirs, who are
forever whooping up farm life for the
political advantage they expect to
gain by arousing the sympathies and
the prejudices of the rural population
Many of the things required to make
farm life attractive-things which
will induce capable young people to
live there contentedly and give to
! farming and the rural life which en-
folds them the best efforts of which
they are capable as builders and
leaders-have been freely discussed.
These include such essentials as suit
able soils, roads, buildings, schools
and markets. Modern conditions have
brought within reach of the farmer
most of the conveniences enjoyed by
the city dweller. Some rural homes
are equipped with lights, water, sew
erage, telephone and radio. Many re-
ceive the daily paper and are as close
ly in touch with the outside world as
those who live in congested cities.
Consolidated schools have brought ru-

children enjoy.
The one great need of rural life
which fingers behind-which is still in
some communities sinking into obliv-

Good soil, comfortable homes, paved
roads, nearby markets, excellent
schools-in fact, all the material ad-
vantages which modern genius has
made possible-cannot establish a
permanent rural social order of high
class unless the religious side keeps
pace with the material side.
