In.x.,,on for Potatoes.

In preparing for n crop OF potatoes
the first thing IL to irrigate the ground
well-soak 1t down II foot or eighteen
Inches. Then, as soon as dry enough,
plow 1t as deep rs possible. the deeper
the better. After planting. cultivate
the ground well. throwing the dirt to
the potatoes each time. This throws
up ridge 20 that In watering the po-
tatoes the water will not touch the
vines, but Will sub-lrrigate to the
roots.
Potatoes should not be irrigated un-
I'll the bloom begins to show. Then
two good irrigations nre usually plenty
to make good crop; but should the
ground get dry. SO as to stop the
growth. then Il Is better TO let them
alone. for II water IL put on It will
start n second growth that makes them
knotty and rough. Alfalfa sod Is bet
ter thnn any other ground on which to
plant potatoes because II IL very rich.
Any ground that is well manured In

My neighbor. Mr.. Neely. raised ns
fine potatoes as anybody ever saw on
old ground well manured. They went
about 30 bushels to the acre lie irri-
gated them three times. His potatoes
took first prize ut our county fair. The
ordway Land and Water Company
grew sixty acrcs OF potatoes that aver
aged 40 bushels TO the acre with two
irrigntions. They used n subsoilcr. The
most Of this ground was In oats the
year before. The main thing IL not to

Under the present school law the terms
OF one third oil all the School Commits

Not until Governor Lowndes has been in
Office two years did he have an opportu-
nifty to put the Republicans in the major
ity in the school boards of the counties.
Now the boards will remain in the hands
of the Republicans for two more years.
The terms Of one-thiid OF the members
win expire this winter, but they are those
who were appointed by Governor Brown
in 1894 and, except in few instances,
they are Democia's II. therefore, Gov
ernor Smith appoints Democrats. they
will simply take the place of Democrats
who will retire. The hold-over members
are nearly ull Republicans. In Wash
ington county. however. the two mem
bers whose terms expire and who were
appointed by Governor Brown are Re-
publicans, but two OF the hold-over men,
bers appointed by Governor Lowndes are
Democrats. one OF them being the father

lowing are the appointees for this county

The success that has attended our past

boundless energy and courage to creep

strides we are making. Not many days

He did 1t and succeeded! Years Of study
and experience, constant attention to
business, knowledge OF every nook and
corner in the manufacturing and whole
sale circles of Baltimore and New York,
and last, but not least, the powerful cash
buying system formed the grand combi-
nation that stood by him on this occasion
in securing First-class Merchandise at
practically his own prices. During his
recent journey to New York and Balti-
more, Goodman gobbled up the surplus
stocks of needy and pinched manufac-
turers, amounting to thousands Of dollars,
at about 5oc on the dollar of the manu-
facturer's prices. Now comes your turn

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Pfacticing For The Football Game
Annual Physical Measurements
OF Cadets Commences.

The care the coaches are taking of the
Naval Academy team in every direction
IS an evidence OF the great stress they
lay on the coming contest with West
Point. All else are mere dress rehear-
sails. From excluding the general pub
lie from their pratice games and letting
in only the supposed loyal eyes of cadets
and residents of the Academy, the
coaches have now come down to total
prohibition, no one is allowed to see what
new inventions are on hand.
Naval Cadet Fowler considered the
best back of the team, who was injured
early in the season. has gotten we'll
enough to practice again.
The cadets have resumed their annual
target practice. This takes place in the
afternoon from 4 oS. The target is set
up on the government farm across Col.
lege Creek, and the firing squad is loca-
ed in the Naval Academy. Great caution
is observed to have no accidents to pass
ing boats.
The annual physical measurements OF
the Naval Cadets have commenced.
These are taken down with great preci-
sion and carefully recorded. At present
the new fourth class is the one undergo
ing the examination. Ii is very labori-

ANNAPOLIS PUBLIC BUILDING.
Architect Taylor Says Halt Has Been
Called For Lock Of Appropriation.

Supervising Architect Taylor, of the
Treasury Department. does not expect
any public building bill during the COM
ing session, nor does he look for an in
crease in the appropriations for public
buildings already authorized. "Chair-
man Cannon, he said "told us last year
not to come around asking for any mon
eY this year, and | don't think we will
get any except enough to carry on the
work already authorized by Congress.
The increase in the prices of building
material has naturally hurt us severely,
for, unlike private individuals, we can
not increase our appropriations for the
buildings, but must cut our building, so
to speak, according to our appropriation.
Within the past two years the prices of
building material have gone up on an av-
erage of SO per cent that is, it would
cost us one-third more TO erect build
ing now than it would if the building had
been erected two years ago. We are
not making the cut so much in the size
of the building as in the material we use,
so that while the Baltimore Customhouse
will be practically the same size as it
would have been iferected two years ago,
it will not be built of such expensive ma
terial. In some cases we make the cut
by dispensing with the use of iron and
replacing it with wood. None of the
contractors engaged in public building
work has thrown up his contract because
of the increased price of building mater
ial, but the work is being delayed be-
cause of the impossibility to secure the
material"
The Annapolis public building and
others, will have to wait their turn and
it may possibly be until after the next
Congress before anything is done in this
line

the Court of Appeals today Kate
Cook and others. two appeals. appealed
from the decision OF the Circuit Court of
Baltimore city, in the Emmett Perpetual
and Mutual Building Association of
Baltimore and others. The claim of the
appellants is that having given notice.
before the association was judicially de-
clared insolyent. of their desire to with
draw from the association, they thereby
became preferred claiments on the as
sets OF the insolvent company. The
Court below decided against Cook and
