The San Jose Scale.

Mr.. R. M. Pindell, of Pindell Station
Anne Arundel county, recently purchas-
ed trees of nursery outside the State of
Maryland. On the arrival of the trees
Mr.. Pindell failed to see the certificates as
provided by law attached to the bundle
and Immediately notified Prof. A. L.
Quaintance, State Entomologist, who
sent his assistant, R. I. Smith, down to
make an examination. On opening the
bundle of trees, he found them badly cover
ed with the ''San Jose Scale" and order
ed the whole lot burned As some of the
nurseries of our country are infected
with the diseases that are playing havoc
among the different orchards of our State
and counties, it would be advisable for
those contemplating purchasing nursery
stock should communicate with the State
Entomo.ogist and learn the true condi-
ton of the nursery from which they in
tend to buy

Rural Free Delivery.

The following is circular letter issued
by the Superintendent of the Rural Free
Delivery System from the office of the
First Assistant Postmaster General in re-
gard to the duties of the patrons on rural
free delivery routes:
The Department looks to the patrons of
the Rural Free Delivery services, who
are receiving the benefits of the services,
to use their utmost personal endeavors,
and also to exert their influence with the
Road Supervisors, or with those officials
who are responsible for the condition of
the highways; to the end that the roads
travelled by rural carriers may be always
kept open and in such passable shape
punctually performed.
Should the regularity of the service be
needlessly destroyed as the result of mat.
tention and lack of care bestowed on the
highways, the permanent withdrawal of
the delivery will very likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes regularly at all seas ons
of the year and in every kind of weather
when it can be done without seriously
imperiling their lives or endangering
their conveyances or the U. S. mail which
is in their custody.
Patrons should clear away the drifts,
so that carriers can drive up to and reach
boxes from their vehicles with out dis
mounting.
1t is not part of the carriers duty to
break out the roads after severe snow
storm.
Rural carriers are expected to energeti-
cally try to serve their routes even though
the conditions may be extremely adverse,
and any undue lack of zeal on their part
should be promptly brought to the atten-
ton of this Office for such action as the
merits of the case require.

sonic Hall on Thursday evening last, was
very delightful affair. A committee
composed of Misses May Williams and

ly with festoons of evergreens, tied with
crimson streamers. The stage was draped
artistically with bright colored portieres.
The brilliant lights and gay throng of
dancers, who tripped lightly to the music
of harp and violin, presented beautiful
scene. About midnight the German was
danced, led by Miss Lillian Snowden, of

of the figures the men all wore masks.

Canning Factory Assured.

We have authority to announce that the
projected canning factory to be established
here is now assured. The farmers of this
vicinity have signed contracts for the re-
ouired number of acres and the factory
will be built. Any other persons, how
ever, who may desire to raise tomatoes
can get blank contracts from Mr.. F. w.
Hill, and thus reap the benefits of this
project.
Much credit is due to MIR. Hill who has
been very energetic in promoting the
enterprise. This is good move, and if
successful, will probably lead to the esta,
blishment of similar factories in this local
ity, and thus give boom to our town.

Star witness Zinke for the prosecution
In the case of the State vs.. August Loef-
timancher, on trial at st. Peter, was
given a shaking up by the attorneys
for the defendants on Saturday. Loci
fimacher is being tried as an accomplice
with his son John Loefflmacher in a
plan to blow up threshing machine
owned by Mans and Vinegar Saturday
Zinke went on the stand and when the
attorneys for the defendants took him
in charge he became badly ratified and
for some time the Jurors, and spectators
were convulsed with laughter over the
mans comical sayings. The court was
forced to smile occasionally.
The case was expected to go to the
Jury late this afternoon or tomorrow
morning.
John Loeflmacher was brought up
from Saltwater for the purpose of Civ
ing testimony. He claims that his father
had nothing to do with the attempt to
blow up the threshing machine, and
that he is guilty of the crime.

August Loefflmacher will be given an
other opportunity to defend himself
against the charge of having dynamited
the Mans & Vinegar threshing machine.
The jury in his case at st. Peter dis
agreed. The jury took the case in charge
at two o'clock yesterday and was dis
charged about nine o'clock this morning.
1t was expected that John Loefflmach-
er would be arraigned today on the
charge of attempting to blow up the ma
chine. He does not deny the charge and
at the same time wonders why he is
in prison. One of the parties alleged to
have been implicated'in the deal, Meyers.

Loefflmachers were arrested. Several of

just closed tried to blame all on to

conduct in connection with the life pris

these officers, in passing through the

All such stories the officers branded as
false and defamatory, and proof was of

charges.
The officers denied that they had beer
out all night and claimed they were in
bed at a seasonable hour. They admit
ted that they were in the Sherman house
with Tanke and explained that Tankt
was acquainted with man named Mil

Mark L. WiIdes Offers a Suggestion.
There May Be Litigation.
From Mondays Daily.

To the Editor: Being a believer in
the Importance of good raods, to the
community at large, and an earnest ad-
Ivocate of their construction and main
tenance, 1 attended the good roads meet
ling at Mankato. May 10th, tand was
much pleased to see the apparent inter
est manifested by the persons in atten-
Edance, in facor of having better roads
than we now have. If the subject mat
ter is continuously kept in agitation,
the people will eventually be led to hee
the utility of, and have commendable
pride in good roads; they will be asham-
ed of muddy, unsightly and often almost
impossible ones. l expected that the
meeting would take action relative to
the enforcement of the road law as it
now is, and when the width of driveway
wwas mentioned, l suggested compli-
ance with the law. The highways are
all laid out, four rods in width-The
law prohibits the planting and blowing
of one full rod on either side of the CEN
ter line of highways. The law also per-
mits the blowing, leveling and seeding of
the highways to grass to within one rod
of center roadbed, or driveway two.
rods in width.
The law may not be good one, in
what it prohibits, and what it permits,
it may be one honored in the breach
than observance. Our lawmakers may
not always be the delegated wisdom of
the state. They are the delegated au-
thority. Should the forty-six foot drive
way voted, be insisted on, when objected
to, litigation might be incensed.
Had the Forty six foot width been Of
fered in the form of memorial to the
legislature for amendment of law, the
case would be different. Respectfully,
