rain falls on Easter Sunday it will rain for
seven successive Sundays thereafter. Last
Sunday was the first one after Easter and there
is no question about it having raned that day,

weather of the next six Sundays will be like

of the bar, who has large property interests in

simply outrageous and disgrace to the coun-

the behavior attributed to the substitutes in

>Some of the streams in the northwestern
section of this comfy have lately been stocked
with brook trout from the State fish hatchery.
We have known a number of streams in the |
county to have been stocked with these young
fish, but the attempt to get them to grow has
never proven successful. In fact none of the
fish were seen after they were put in the
streams and it was always mystery what be-
came of them.
IA man has been going about Towson in
a buggy this week offering a pair of Irish
linen tableclothes for S125, fine broadcloth for
81 yard and other goods, claiming them to
have been damaged at ridiculously low
prices. We think it is safe to say that every
is bad plan in this world to try to get some
thing for nothing. THE UNIONS advice is
always patronize responsible dealers and then
you will get your moneys WORTH
- Isn't it possible for the authorities of the
United Railways Company to devise some
plan to relieve the Towson cars of the terrible
crowding with passengers and market baskets
almost every evening in the week on the Balti
more end of the line? Surely the through
patrons-those who ride north of the three
mile hill-are entitled to some consideration at
the hands of the company. The scent pas
sengers crowd the Towson cars to suffocation,
while the cars that they should ride on pass
often only half filled with people. And their
baskets are a terrible nuisance, crowding aisles
and platforms to such an extent that it is often
almost impossible to obtain footing.
