"SMITH FOR PRESIDENT"

ONCE the United States has
~ more people bearing the name
of Smith than any other family
name, it is only natural perhaps
that there should have been more
presidential candidates by that
name than any other.
The first was Joseph E. Smith,
founder of the Church of Latter
Day Saints and prophet of the Nor
mon religion, who in 1874 con-
demned the policies Of both the
Whig and the Democratic parties
and announced his candidacy for
the presidency. However. his mar
tyrdom at the hands of an Illinois
mob in June of that year cut short
his political career.
Four years later another Smith
was in the field as candidate
Gerrit Smith. the New York philan-
thropist, who was one of the found
ers of the Liberty party in 1910
and its candidate for President in
l848. In that year he was also in
dorsed for the presidency by the
Industrial Congress at its conven-
ton in Philadelphia. Again in 1852
Smith was the candidate of the
Liberty party and again he was
indorsed by another group. this
time by the Land Reformers. In
neither case did Smith or his par
ty figure very prominently in the
election.
In 1876 there was another one of
the name in the presidential race.
He was Green Clay Smith, a ma
tive of Kentucky, veteran of the
Mexican and Civil wars, rising to
the rank of brigadiergeneral in the
Union army before resigning to
take his seat in congress to which
he had been elected while in the
field. Reelected to congress, he
resigned to become the second ter
ritorial governor of Montana. Aft
er three years of service in the
West he resigned to enter the min
istry of the Baptist church in
Washington, D. c. 1t was soon aft
er his serving as minister that he
was chosen as the first presidential
nominee of the modern Prohibi-
ton party.
Just as this dry" Smith failed
to win in 1876, so did a wet
Smith fail to win half a century lat
er. For Alfred E. Smith, the Dem
ocratic candidate in 1928, suffered
defeat, as did his predecessors.

Worlds Oldest Book" Egyptian Scroll,
Gives Ancient Suggestions on How to Eat

The worlds oldest book is pos
sessed by the French National Ii
brary, states a Paris United Press
correspondent.
1t is not a book in the proper
sense of the word, but it served
that purpose in another era when
the present form of bound volume
was unknown. It is an Egyptian
papyrus dating back 1900 years.
Written at length on the scroll is
not a philosophical treatise, nor
scientific study of the period. Aft
er savants had studied it for many
long hours, for the translation was
most difficult, they found written
simply a judicious counsel on how
to live wisely, preaching simplicity
in living, moderation in food and
drink and the education of children.
Despite it's age, the papyrus is

compares in length with the famous
Harris Papyrus, discovered in the
tomb of Rameses II, which meas

A facsimile of the papyrus was
published in 1847 with the following
appellation: Fac-Simile OF an
Egyptian papyrus in hieroglyphic
characters found at Thebes and CIV
en- to the National library in Paris
by Emile Prisse d'Avesnes."
Prisse d. Avesnes, French arch
eologist and psychologist, who was
famed for his findings about the
middle of the Eighteenth century,
came upon this valuable document
rather by accident. One day while
searching a Theban metropolis at

FARMERS CHAMPION

or ALL the leaders of third par
~ ty movements, probably no
one has caused the two major par
ties more concern than did Gen.
James B. Weaver of Iowa. For he
was the nominee of two new par
ties which. at two different periods
in our history, capitalized on the
unrest of the farm vote and in one
case he definitely contributed to
the defeat of the party in power.
Weaver was first the standard
bearer for the Greenbackers,
party which came into existence in
1868 because of the dissatisfaction
of the farmers with the financial
policies of Grants administration.
They were infationists who de-
manded that a large amount of
paper money be issued without re-
gard to specie payment. They re-
ceived their name fror1 the fact
that legal-tender notes were print
ed in green and called greenbacks.
In the campaign of 1876 they nom-
mated Peter Cooper, the New York
philanthropist, but he polled only
10000 popular votes and did not
receive single electoral vote.
In the congressional elections of
1878 the Greenbackers cast mil
lion votes and the Republicans in
power looked apprehensively to the
presidential campaign of 1880,
especially when the Greenbackers
nominated a man from the agri-
cultural West. But their fears
were groundless, for the Green
hackers could muster only a little
more than 100000 votes and, al
though Garfield won over Hancock
by less than 10000 popular votes,
he got 214 electoral votes to his
opponents 155.
Twelve years later the Republi-
cans had much more to worry over
when Weaver bobbed up again, this
time as the nominee of the Popu-
list or Peoples party which de-
clared for free silver, public own
ership of monopolies, postal saw
ings banks and an income tax. In
the state and congressional cleo
tions of 1890 they carried the leg
islatures of Kansas and Nebraska,
elected nine members of congress
and forced "a others, Democrats
and Republicans. to pledge them
selves to carry out Populis. ideas.
In the presidential campaign of
1892 Weaver polled more than
1,000,0 900 votes in the West and
South and corralled 90 electoral
votes. The Populists also carried
several state legislatures and sent
five senators to Washington.

Ants Diq Wells

1t IS no longer a secret in South
Africa how white ants obtain their
water supply. A naturalist has dis
covered that they can get water
even in deserts. When a well was
being sunk on a Transvaal farm
the drillers saw a tiny two-inch
shaft running into the earth. They
traced a miniature well sixty-five
feet deep. With amazing persist
ence the white ants had dug their
way until they found water.
The naturalist kept watch and
saw water-carrier ants moving up
and down the shaft by day and
night, each returning to the sur
face with a drop of water. The
round trip required half an hour.

Drah-Aboul-Negga, he was ap-
preached by workman with the
scroll, and asked if he wished to
purchase it. AS it seemed quite
authentic, the French archeologist
bought it, but little realizing it's
true value.
After a thorough investigation,
Prisse d'Avesnes was able to estab-
liSh that the papyrus had been
stolen from a tomb of one of the
Antefs of the eleventh Theban dy-
nasty, tomb which he himself
sometime before had unearthed.
At present it is divided into IL
sections, with the length of each
determined by the logical division
of the texts. Those of the texts,
which are intact, are divided into
two sections: the Kaquemma and
the Ptahbotep, separated by
space of feet, 9 inches without
characters, undoubtedly effaced by
scraping. The number of lines of

complicated hieroglyphics before
unraveling its simple message.

The Word "Dun'

The word dun" is supposed by
some to be derived from the
French "donnez." The British
Apollo of 1880 says, however, that
the word owes it's origin to a Joe
Dun, famous bailiff of Lincoln in
the time of Henry VII. He is said
to have been so successful in the
collection of debts tat his name
became proverbial. Whenever il
seemed almost impossible to make
a man pay, people would say. why
don't you Dun hirn?"

State Senator Harry w. LeGore, of
Frederick county, on Monday filed his
papers as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress from
the Sixth Congressional District.
While his name has been promi-
nently mentioned for some time in
connection with the contest, it was not
until Monday, the last day on which
to file, that he formally threw his hat
into the ring. One other Frederick
county Republican, Leo Weinberg, an
nounced his candidacy several weeks
ago, and has been conducting an ag-
gressive campaign. Frederick county
has not been represented in Congress
by local son since 1882 when the late
Milton G. Urner was elected.
Born in Frederick county, August 1,
1894, Senator LeGore is engaged in
the lime and stone business, being as
ISOLATED with his brother in an enter
prise founded by his father in 1861. In
his college days Senator LeGore was a

Creek Lake, has been sent out by
Caleb Winslow, of Port Deposit, Md,
who is in charge.
The camp was established by Major
Enoch Barton Carey, now head of the
Maryland Police, who purchased one
thousand acres on the east side of the
lake near Swanton in the fall of 1888.
The first year was spent in clearing
away underbrush and preparing the
camp sites. Last year a lodge, cook
house, spring house and other neces-
sary outbuildings were completed.
The season will be from July l to
September 1. The camp is open to
adult campers as well as boys, and
Mrs. Winslow will also receive a few

TROUT FISHING in DEEP
CREEK OPENS YESTERDAY
New Law Allows Fishing Until
October 81; Bass Season July /

Under the new law promulgater by
the State Conservation Commission,
Deep Creek Lake was thrown open to
trout fishermen yesterday. The open
season for this body of water will re-
main in effect until October 81.
Until this year the open season for
fishing of all kinds in Deep Creek
Lake ran from April 1 to August Is.
Under the new law, trout of all species
may be taken from April Is to Octo-
Der 81, and bass of both kinds may be
taken from July 1 until the close of
the season. The lake is closed to all
fishing from November l to April Is.
j. Hammond Brown, special writer
on the staff of the Baltimore News
Post, said yesterday in his column of
that paper:
deep Creek Lake has offered little
in the way of any kind Of angling
sport. This perhaps has been due in
the past to a lack Of vision with re-
CARDS to its stocking and the bad fish
ing laws for that body of water. Now
that the law has been changed and a
practical policy of planting engaged
upon by the State Conservation Com
missioners, in a year or two it should
develop into fine black bass grounds.
"In past years waters of Deep Creek
Lake have been asked to harbor every
thing in the way of planted stock from
trout fingerlings, big and small mouth
bass to Northern pike and even sal
mon.
ut was always a case of survival of
the fittest and up to now nothing much
of anything has been taken from it's
waters. The new policy should in time
bear satisfactory results"
Fishermen have generally been fair
ly successful in. trout fishing in the
lake, especially around the headwaters
of the feeder streams. While not so
numerous there have been trout %
inches long taken from the lake in past
years.
