nance would have suited mis- case much better.
"A good authority says that we need not
trouble about the potato bugs this summer, be-
cause the protracted cold weather of the past
spring has killed them. Bugs that can stand
boiling water, coal oil and other fluids can't be
hurt much by a few cold snaps. Wewant to wait
until the potato vines grow before we venture an
opinion on the subject.

The generous people of Highlandtown
want to get rid of their chemical engine by max
ing Towsontown a present of it. They want
bigger one and think the old affair will suit u.s.
We object. Towsontown may be of little impor-
lance in the eyes of some people, but it is too big
to be cuddled by that mushroom in the 18th dis
trict. Besides, we have no room for Holloway's
soda fountains. We are using Strontia water ex-
clusively now.

hourly looked for. Both had been remarkably
healthy children before being attacked by this
strange malady.
The Baltimore papers convey the highly
important information that Howard Cooper is be-

counsel should carry his case up to the Supreme
Court of the United States it may be many months
before the condemned will be permitted to sniff
the salubrious mir of Baltimore county.
