Maryland Line, 7th DESTRUCTION Sum
day last the N. Z. Church here held the har-
vest home, as previously announced. The
church was appropriately decorated with
scriptural notices, plants, cut flowers and
various kinds of grain. The vegetables and
fruits brought from the neighboring farms
were tastefully arranged on large platform
in front of the church. Owing to the in
clemency of the weather the services of the
morning were poorly attended. Rev. J. H.
Jeffries delivered an excellent discourse from
the theme, 1.-THE Making of a Nation" the
text being found in Ps., 144-15. Four girls,
dressed in white, took the collection, and
walking to the front, keeping step to the
strains of music, they were met by Mr.. JEFF
fries who, before taking the contribution.
asked the blessing of God upon it.

Guy P. Day. Mr.. Edgar NJ. Wamsley, of
Baltimore, was present and made some very
earnest remarks.
At night very large crowd assembled and
listened to the addresses made by Mr.. VANS

Mrs F. A. Crook and Prof. K. K. Morris.
The DAY following the produce used at the
display, which filled five barrels and one box,
was shipped to the Aged Women's Home in
Baltimore.
The services throughout were a decided
success in every way and people left feeling
happy, having learned the truth of the adage,

The Value of Cornstalks.
Warmers VOice

utilize the fodder appear to be satisfied with co
per cent. of crop. The stalks, leaves and
husks that are allowed to go to waste in the
fields constitute about 40 per cent of the nutri-
tive value of the corn plant. In some seasons
the ears alone do not yield any margin of profit
fodder grown in Iowa this year. if cut and
properly cared for, would be worth at least
S40,000,000 above the cost of labor required
to save it. About three-fourths of that amount
will be wasted.

Queer Results of Elections.

LuNcuSteT 2 ~ 1E~uHttHeF'
A Republican unanimity unique in the his
tory of political elections in the West is shown
by the complete count of Tuesdays ballots at
Batavia, Illinois One precinct gave its entire
vote of 575 to Mckinley. There is a precinct
in Pequea township, this county, that has
given but two Democratic votes, and there
was time when Codorus township, in York
county, gave but one Wing vote, and the Re-
publican voters are as relatively scarce there
today But Batavia, Illinois, seems to be
champion today. 1t has a sort of Texas una
nimity, and surely campaign in such pre-
cinct lacks fun. as it cannot have argument,
an occasional fight, bet or a torch light pro-
cession. Too much unanimity is monotonous
at least, and when spread over large territory
is ant to be dangerous.

plained.-Messrs. Editors Please allow me
space in your columns to justify your Wor-
thington Valley correspondent (V Observer
in regard to the statement lately made by him
as to the number of acres of wheat put i'll on
q single day on Mr.. Charles A. Councilman's
farm. The work was done by Joseph r.
Parks and myself and we drilled 49, acres in
10 hours and 10 minutes.
My reason for desiring to back up the state
ment of your correspondent is that members
of the Senior Gunpowder Club and other gen.
tlemen have been criticising Mr.. Councilman
and expressing doubts about the correctness of
your correspondents story. gave him the
number of acres covered in the day and the
time required to do the work.
In order to set at rest the minds of the
doubling Thomases 1 will explain how the
job was done. No one will doubt the ability
of quick stepping team of young mules to
walk Is miles in one day. The field in which
the drilling was done was plowed soon after
harvest, rolled and left lying six or, eight
weeks. Then it was cross narrowed and rolled
again in front of the drill and upon this fine
firm seed bed the work was done. The seed
and fertilizer were placed about the middle of
the field and the drill sowed about II bushels
of wheat and about 230 lbs. of fertilizer to the
acre. We had the seed in 2bushel sacks and
we took the sacks between US and dumped
them directly into the drill. To put in the
fertilizer we used half bushel measure and
box and while one was filling the other was
emptying. This required very, short space
of time. Then Mr.. Parks would mount the
saddle mule and off we went. Every time we
crossed the long level field the drill registered
little over half an acre. The drill has
spouts and covers a strip of land 6 feet wide,
and at that rate to drill 183 acres the team
would have to walk 253 miles, If l have not
made mistake in the calculation. We put
in the fertilizer every round and theseed every
second round. The work was done October
9th, the weather being cool and pleasant.
l was with the drill the entire day except a
short time required to go to the blacksmith
shop on the farm TO sharpen several tools.
In addition to crossing the field on the regu-
lar rounds we made three trips, or Is feet,
across each end of the field.
am ready to answer any further questions
regarding this work Mr.. Parks is also ready
and willing to perform the same days work
under the same conditions, for small wager
to pay expenses. With my regards to the far
mers, remain,
Yours respectfully, LEVI BosLEY.

his belief that the public would be very hard
to please in the matter of these shooting stars"
On being asked for an explanation of this
possible lack of interest, he replied well,

Wants Permission to Lay Water Pipes.
TN TUESDAY last MT. ernest tfOen, Or, IIicfn-
Der of the bar, and Mr.. John L. Rosensteel,
we'll known business man of Govanstown, held
a conference with the County Commissioners
regarding supply of water for number of
houses on Woodbourne avenue, short dis

apparently reasonable request that permission
be at once granted to the Baltimore County
Water and Electric Company to lay mains on
Woodbourne ave-, as there is no other means
available at this time to furnish the necessary
supply of water. Govanstown Building AS

question and cannot rent them without max

Board promised to consider the matter next
