A Canning Factory for Marlboro

Messrs. Cirwan, Schall s. Co., Of Balti-
more, had representative here on the
Oath instant, to look into the probability
of securing sufficient acreage planted in
tomatoes to justify starting first class
factory at Marlboro Station on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
He was much pleased with the outlook
having in short time secured contracts
for over 100 acres, the required numter
being 800 acres.
There will be a representative in MARI
boro'on January 9th and he will be glad
to meet all farmers and sign all contracts
for the growing of tomatoes for the can
ming factory.
Blank contracts were left with Mr.. F..
W. Hill and all those wishing to sign
same can procure one from him at any
time.
Kirwin, Schall & Co., were induced to
establish factory in this neighborhood
by Mr.. F. w. Hill, who demonstrated to
them the many advantages of this locality
We think the canning factory will be a
great benefit to this community, as it will
create home market for our farm. pro-
ducts, thereby circulating amongst us in
many ways large amount of money.
We hope every farmer in this section
of the county will grow some tamatoes,
thus securing the factory here, and making
step which we hope may lead to pros
porous business era.
If the people would unite and make an
effort they could get other business en-
te1prises established here like the citiz ms
of so many of the Eastern Shore towns
have succeeded in doing.
We also think it would be a good idea
to have Board of Trade, SO the advant
ages of this section could be explained to
the business world, thereby getting some
business enterprise started -Gazttte.

Hicks for January.

Reactionary storm disturba in the
form of rain, sleet and show will progress
from west to cast at the opening of Janu-
airy, showing the Influence of Mercury
by thick prolonged cloudiness with
heavy slect in most parts of the country,
rapid rise of barometer, high northerly
winds, snowdrifts and cold wave may
be looked for about the 1st to 3rd.
About the 4th the barometer will fall
decidedly, it will grow much warmer and
until the S5h heavy winter storms of
rain, snow and s!eet Will pass from the
western to the eastern part of our CONT
nent.
Very general and damaging sleet storms
will be marked characteristic of this pc
Rod followed by, from west and norther
ly driving wind, blizzardous SHOWS, ris
ing barometer and very cold.
Look for severe weather over most
parts of the country from about the 7th
to 18th progressively. of course, not with
the same degree of cold everywhere du
ring that time, watch for the wave and do
not be surprised if it hits you between
these dates. Remember cold waves are
progressive and usually come from the
west and abide with your only a short
time and move on to the cast.
About the 18th or 18th the cold will
shift to southerly bringing more rain,
sleet and snow.
The next regular storm period is cen
trail on the 18th reaching from the 18th
to goth, about this time the storms will
touch their eliminating crisis in all cen
trail to the eastern parts of the country.
The moon passes south of the celestial
equator on the 18th hence high tempera-
ture for the season with winter thunder
and lightning to the southwark, but trop-
ical features will soon disappear and gen
uine winter storms turning to billiards
in many sections will quickly follow; not
only for your own interests but for the
sake of your dumb animals take some
thought and foresight for their proper
shelter and food at this season.
About the 22nd to gath slight modu-
lation of temperature with falling barom-
eter and return of rain or snow in wide
sections. The last stolm period for the
month extends from the 9th to the 31st.
New Moon falls on the 2Sth, fact which
will hasten the change back to very mark
ed storm conditions. Careful observers
will not be long in discovering that a
change to warmer, with falling barome-
ter and other storm indications appear
about the time of the new moon.
The last four days of January will be
Influenced by the Venus perturbation
and very sudden and extreme changes
of temperature will occur with winter
rains, wind and thunder, changing with
surprising suddenness into fearful bliz
yards and tempestuous winds and cold
waves. Some such results need not sur
prise any reader of these forecasts during
the last Of January.

Maryland Auxiliary.

All of the women's clubs in Maryland
have just received invitations from the
Women's Auxiliary of the Maryland Civil
Service Reform Association to her distin-
guished speakers at public meeting to
held on Monday evening, January 5, in
Baltimore President Daniel G. Gilman,
of the Carnegie Institution, will preside
at the meeting and among those who will
make addresses are the Hon. William
Dudley Foulke and Hon. James R. Gar
field, who is the son of former President
Garfield and member of the U. S. Civil
Service Commission.
The WOmen's Auxiliary to the Reform
Association was founded about six months
ago by several prominent ladies of Balti-
more upon the model of very efficient
organizations of the same sort in Boston
and New York. The Massachusetts aux
Hilary has extended itself generally over
the state of Massachusetts and the meet
ing of next Monday will be the first for
NAL step in similar extension here.
1.-THE Marylad Auxiliary" says Mrs.
George II. Williams, its secretary, "is an
entirely Democratic body of very fairly
representative of the women of Baltimore
We believe that public Office should be
bestowed for merit, that public service
requires qualifications, and that it carries
responsibilities with it. All that we can
do to advance these principles we are
doing. One of the most powerful means
at the command of the women is their
influence on the men. By interesting
themselves in such matters they may do a
great deal to stimulate their brothers and
husbands to the same interests. In the
presenL movement to extend our organi-
zation throughout the counties we have
corresponded with every woman's club
of which we know We cannot reach
all by special note but we hope that
every woman of the State who is interest
ed at all in our principles, whether she be
connected or not with any of the clubs to
which we have written, will come to
Baltimore and help us advance the move
ment"

of the Auxiliary, Mrs. Henry Barton
