That MudhOle.

One side of the Graceham Creagerstown
road "mudhole" controversy has been pretty
thoroughly straightened cut by tho Mechan-
icstown district supervisor, Mr., Jacob Freeze,
who has laid his commission before us and
by its terms his road stops at "Firor's Gate"
while the mudhole begins nine steps beyond
or south of the middle of said gate. This
would seem to clearly determine the trouble
in Mr.. Freezes favor We should like TO
hear from the other SUPERVISOR if he is re-
quired to go to "Firor's Gate" the mudhole
is clearly on his road, but as County Com
mlssioners, like other mortals, dare not lay
claim 10 infallibiity, it is just possible that
his commission does notrequre him to 60 to
"Firor's Gate" He should give his side of
the controversy and aid in Its settlement.

Frederick's Summer Suburb.

Braddock Heights is growing into sum
mer suburb Of Frederick For many more
than one reason this point could double dis
count Braddock after giving it some points
in the game, had we the electric railroad, rs
has Braddock Heights, as it would be but
brief while until Thurmont would become
tie place from Frederick point of view.
As it is, today, Frederick knows us vastly
better than it did short five years ago, and
despite the distance and overland route, we
see ten Frederick faces here, where we were
then accustomed to seeing one; and what is
more, those who visit us are charmed with
the place; but Braddock will hold, from pres.
ent promise, the winning card of facility of
communication for an indefinite period Of

Speaker Look Another Way.

Those who care to speak to another, meet
ing them on the street, should do so audiby
and with some show of cOrdialty. If their
not TO be able to comply with these polite
requirements, recognition should be totally
declined. II is more or less painful to one
who possesses sufficient inbred courtesy to
wish to be civil, TO fluid themselves in doubt
as to whether certain people care to be rec.
ogDized by them. 1t costs little to be civil,

How to Estimate Flowing.

The up to.date farmer can estimate quite
a day, and the way in which he does it is
very ingenious. Assuming that good plow-
man will walk about eighteen miles day,
he proceeds to determine how much land
will be gone oyer in that walk. The factor
in the case is the width of the plow Cutting
finch furrow, full days work will mean
the blowing of an acre and quarter an g.
inch furrow will mean an acre and a half; an
II inch furrow, two acres, and 10 inch
turrow, two and three-quarter acres Thus
the farmer knows how many men he needs
before beginning the work, and also what
each man should accomplish each day
