Election time is here. Never be-
fore in this column have / written
anything politically, or even tending
that way. Yet, I realize that the
privilege to vote and to voice ones
opinion is probably the nearest act
towards freedom an individual has in
this great commonwealth. l am sim
ply voicing the opinion of one who
tolls, hears lot but says mighty
little, politically; visits the political
office holder, the pastor, the teacher
or laborer and admits that about
half he hears and sees would be be-
yond recognition if weighed on the
scales of justice and fairness. / am
not, as yet, an anarchist.
Public office should be neither a
pension nor a gift. He who looks
upon it as a sacred trust, a job, a
task that must be performed for the
good of those who placed the trust
upon him is the man to vote for.
Can you spot him today?
Wholesome is the fact that the
world is blessed most by men who
do things, and not by those who
merely talk of doing things. In
whatever situation the man you pick
can be placed he will find conven-
fences and Inconvenience, but if he
is the man who has made his plans
in accord with the peoples wishes
then you have made wise choice.
No matter how gracious and gen.
erous candidate may be, that in it
self isn't enough proof that he'll be
the man for the job. The basis Of
the election of any man for public
office should be his qualifications.
Though we will probably be classed
as class of unlettered lgnoramuses
when the election is over-let me
advise that you just use your farm
er, hard, horse sense when you step
into the booth to mark your ticket
and remember that's the time when
it's nobody's business but yours.
Will They, In School?
Many farm boys have crossed the
threshold to higher education this
fall. Don't we have a right to ex-
pect Of them that they turn out to
be good American men?
The best boys I have known and
the best men / have known were

would be ashamed for visitors to see
the unsightly breeding places for
crop pests and of dead vegetation
particularly noxious weeds that grew
in the garden and along the fence
rows.
A little time spent now in the way
of cleaning up will be equal to many
days of hard labor with the hoe in
the hot sun next summer. By clean
ing up the garden and the vicinity of
all crop refuse; by cleaning up the
fence-rows, particularly of weeds,
much will be dine to improve the ap-
pearance of the farm and to avoid
much work and sweating next sea-
son.
Cultivation of fields to induce the
termination of weed seeds, clipping,
digging, spraying and burning Of all
weeds now will not only reduce the
weed stand for the coming season
but it will destroy the winter sane
tuaries Of many profit-eating pests.

good at their studies and later made

/ did college thesis once on the
student records and the later teach
ing achievements of two hundred
farm boys. I made careful study
of their work, which proved, with
out doubt, that no boy did good
work who was not strong in morals
and ambitions, who did not try, with
his whole heart and soul, to count in
every contest. This study revealed
that students strength proved a
curse to himself and every one else
if he did not have a thorough COM
mand over himself and over his own
evil passions, and did not use that
strength on the side of decency, JUS
tice and fair dealing.
1t is a general belief that Mother
Nature in giving our energy gave
each individual about an equal por-

say nothing are seldom ridiculed, but
those who hope much, believe much

ability to make the best player on

Many of US have gradually revo-
lutionized our farm, and even tried
to remodel the man behind the pillow
and the herd. Many of US have
struck up most friendly acquaint-
ance with our soils; we've jollied sour
ones with lime, lacked up others with
phosphates or potash, fed them le-
gumes and then egged them on to
corn, wheat and potatoes.
All year we've gone after bugs,
beetles and borers with poison and
gas. We've serumed our pigs and
corned them for the selling scales.
We've trned eyes and Babcock test

it there, fed it according to formula
and culled religiously if the butter

Christmas Seals
Will Carry Modern
Santa Claus Face
Thirtieth Season Of Tuber-
culOsis Seal Sale-Opens On
Thanksgiving

Santa Claus, that jolly perennial,
will adorn the tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals this year. This will be
the tenth time that his face has been
used on the Seals, and this season
will be the thirtieth that the Christ
mas Seals have appeared.
"This year Santa Claus is depicted
in a new manner-he is a modern
Santa Claus" said William B. Mat
thews, managing director of the Ma
ryland tuberculosis Association.
"This has been done, he continued,
in order to show to the people how
much the fight against tuberculosis
has progressed since the Christmas
Seal started it's work; and also rep
resents the new and up-to-date meth
DDS that are now being used to COM
bat the disease"
The first Christmas Seal sale in
this country was held in Delaware
in 1907, at the suggestion of Miss
Emily P. Bissell Of Wilmington. It
was SO successful from the beginning
that it was adopted as means Of
raising funds to carry on the tuber-
culosis war by the National Tubercu-
losis Association and it's many affili-
ated groups, the following year.
The sale this year will commence
as usual on Thanksgiving Day and
continue until Christmas. It is the
hope of the Maryland association
that enough money will be raised by
this sale to augment the work that
has already reduced the tuberculosis
death rate in this state from 2O4
per 100000 people, in 1907, to 70
during the past year. Much still re-
mains to be done, even in the face
of this great reduction; as tubercu-
losis still causes more deaths be-
tween the ages Of Is and 45, the
most productive period Of life, than
any other disease.

v " common or field mush-
room, and is the one
ordinarily seen in the meadows from
late Summer until Autumn. 1t is the
one seen fresh in the markets, grown
especially for this purpose, and also the
one that is bought in cans.
AS you go on your many trips tc

Mushroom growing is becoming an
important industry. 1t is not at all
difficult to engage in it, for the mush-
rooms will grow almost anywhere out
of doors and in caves, tunnels or
cellars. Further, explicit direction for
their growing may be obtained from
the Agriculture Department. Profess
sional horticulturists and amateurs
have found that growing mushrooms
in their cellars has been very profit
able side line.
Usually cellars have dark areas, and
they can be kept at a uniform tempera-
ture of so to so degrees F. They
must be protected from cold draughts,
and be well ventilated and free from
mustiness.
The bed for the mushrooms is much
like that prepared for the making of
a hot-bed. Once your mushrooms are
established, all other things being
equal, you are assured Of steady crop

Major Dept. Shifts Being Worked Out By Super.
 imtendent Roach

Wholesale shifts in police beats" assignments of the newly-appO pOinted sergeantS and other major changes in department routine will be made within the next week, 1t was learn ed today. Made necessary largely by the appointment as regular mem- bers of the department of l6 super numeraries at last Fridays special session of the police board, the changes will affect virtually the en-' tire department, according to re. ports.
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach today admitted that changes were imminent but left 1t to be implied that the list of new assignments was as yet incomplete. He said he had been engaged for the past few days in working on the new schedules.
 It is considered probable, in view of the fact that the seven new ser-' geants appointed at the police board meeting last Wednesday VII form- ally assume their new rank tornore row, that they will be given inme. diAte assignments. The remainder of the changes are expected to be announced before the end of the week.
