- Bridge Superintendent Albert Weber
has written a rather spicy letter to the County

Hampton, near Towson, is preparing to seed |
about $50 acres of wheat. His average crop
this year was about 33 bushels to the acre. |
Mr.. Phipps thinks a farmer makes a great |
mistake if he seeds an inferior wheat rather
than pay good price for it. He would |
pay S150 per .bushel for seed If he knew it to |
be of the best quality, provided it could not be
had for less.
= Mr.. Summerfield Baldwin, Jr., treas
urer of the Warren Manufacturing Company, |

Wednesday and made complaint about the |
bad condition of the important thoroughfare

and furnish a team to help make The necessary

ducers' Association, at the headquarters on |
North avenue, Baltimore, which went into the
hands of receivers about three weeks ago.
seems to be going along as though nothing
unusual had occurred. There are those who
believe the association will meet its obligations
in due time and that its affairs will be gotten
on solid basis. If true this will be pleasing
news to many Baltimore county producers
who are financially interested.

in farming and fruit-growing near Watervale
Baltimore q Lehigh Railroad through his

a few days ago sent 300 baskets of fine pears
to Baltimore commission house to be sold. |
They were disposed of and after freight COM
missions, etc.. had been paid balance of ex-
actly IS remained in Mr. Fendalls favor. |
How long would it take man to starye to
death doing business at that rate?
- The ladies OF GOvanstown cannot be too |
highly commended for the movement they |
have started looking to the improvement of |
that town. 1t is an unincorporated place, like |
Towson, but here we have the County Com
missioners and special law or two to provide
for some of our wants, while there they have |
nothing. Govanstown is place of too much |
importance to be so far behind the times and |
as the ladies have taken the matter in hand |
the citizens can feel assured that something |
will be done and that promptly.
Campaign Opened at Mt. Washington. |
The obligations of this country in the Phil
ippines formed the basis of speech of Hon.
John w. Barrett at the Mt. Washington Casino,
was Uuited States Minister to Siam during
President Cleveands second administration,
and it is said he has enjoyed superior advan-
tages in the study of the problems which now
confront this nation in the Far East Mr.. Bar
rett said in part:
''If every person in the United States could
have seen what we who were OIL the ground
saw during those uncertain days in the sum-
mer, fall and winter of 1893 in the Philippine
archipelago, there would not be corporal's
guard to vote for the Democratic candidate in
November. l have great respect for Mr..
Bryan, yet | am not partisan enough to sit by
and see statements scattered broadcast which
do not truly represent the situation. Are you
going 10 take the WORDS OF colonel OtatZenDerg,
from Mr.. Bryan's own State, and of the i'm
mortal Lawton or those of a Democratic
colonel who has never been within 200 miles
of the firing line?
This socalled imperialism is nothing but
bogy to catch the unwary voter who trusts to
what his leaders say. Five years ago. having
travelled in all the eastern countries. came to
the conclusion that the Philippines surpassed
all of them and only waited the capital and
energy to make them occupy that position.
The dollars and lives expended there by us in
the past are nothing in comparison to the
dollars and lives we will have to lay down to
regain our selfrespect if we haul down the
flag and return to America"
Addresses were also made by Mr.. A. A.
Blakeney. Republican nominee for Congress,
and Mr.. George r. Gather, Jr. Mr.. Lawrence
B. Kemp, president of the Commercial and
Farmers National Bank, of Baltimore, was
chairman of the meeting.
