with epidemics of pneumonia to render the popula-
ton oblivious to whatever winter may have of charm.
Spring to ordinary mortals is the cheerfulest time
of year. Warmth and blue sky and STRINGS in the
ground and trees give more general happiness than
the graver moods of other seasons. Always spring
has been the symbol for happiness and youth. AL
ways the young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love- but his proneness is vernaly some
what accentuated. The softening earth and delicate
green spouts have, after have braved the winter
something of that tenderness which those who have
known the stress of years welcome in the soft flesh
and jocund liveness of infancy. The preference of
verslfers for these early months has been strong
to make the spring poet jest, and even the
spring itself. Gas spring approaches, ants and
reaches, some such expression fingers in our

The September Crop Report.

The Government crop report issued
this week showed that there was a
slight deterioration in the condition of
spring wheat during August the aver
age being 1913 per cent. against S9.2 a
month ago. The condition is still high,
however, and points to yield Of 279,-
900, 900 bushels. which is now practically
secure. This makes the total Indicated
yield of spring and winter wheat 704,
900, 900 bushels a production which
assures an abundant domestic supply
and big surplus for export.
The average condition of corn is S9.5
against 80 last month, which promises
yield of Sis, 200. 900 bushels. This
was never before equaled. Corn is not
yet entirely free from the risk Of dam
age by frost, but much of the crop is
already mature and another week of
favorable weather will insure the record
output. The oats crop also promises 10
be the largest ever grown with one
exception.
European buyers have already made
large contracts for the shipment Of
corn and oats. demand for which is
likely To be further stimulated by a
shortage in Russian crops. As yet
wheat has not been taken in large
quantities. and Russia is still the largest
exporter of this grain. Foreign de-
mand for American flour. however. has
considerably improved during the past
fortnight, and there are indications of
increasing interest among wheat ex-
porters.

Teachers Institute Over.

Last Friday evening the Worcester,
WicOmico and Somerset county public
school teachers who had been attending
the Tri-County Institute at Ocean City.
left that place for their respective
homes, crowding the evening trains
with jolly, good-natured lot of bright
young women, who had been greatly
benefited mentally and physically by
their sojourn at the seashore. Before
the Institute adjourned resolutions were
passed as follows:
Resolved, that the opportunity for
the instruction of teachers in the art OF
teaching is valuable and necessary
part of our system of public education.
that the idea of consolidating Institutes
of the three counties is in line with the
progressive spirit of the age and has
resulted in increased enthusiasm and in
securing more numerous and more
capable instructors; that the joint In
stitute has proven far more inspiring
and resulted in more practical benefit
than any separate county Institute held
heretofore. We believe that the Tri-
County Institute should be made a
permanent feature of our school system
Institute into a summer Normal School
be continued: that there be less discus
sion of general educational topics and
more specific systematic instruction in
the art of teaching the different
branches Of the school curriculum; to
the end that the teachers of Wicomico.
Worcester and Somerset Counties con-
tinue to keep in touch with the progress
being made in the science and art of
teaching: and be it further
Resolved. that this body express its
appreciation and thanks to the County
Superintendent, Messrs. McMaster,
Bounds and Dashiell for the admirable
manner in which this meeting has been
planned and conducted: to our instruc-
tors for their entertaining and beneficial
efforts in our behalf: to State Supt.
Stephens for his interest and support;
to the people of Ocean City for their
courtesy and hospitality; to the rail
roads for their considerable recognition,
and to the press for its faithful report
of our proceedings; and third be II
further
Resolved, that a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the papers published
in the three counties here represented.

what similar to the building of the

Mr.. c. X. Higgins attended the
marriage of Mr.. Oscar Kenneth Byerly
and Miss Anna White, of Easton, on
Tuesday morning Of this week. The
marriage was solemnized in the Friends,
Meeting House, in the suburbs of Eas-
ton, according to the impressive custom
of the Friends. The bridal party entered
the main aisle of the meeting house
preceded by four overseers, who had
been appointed by the meeting, under
whose charge the ceremony was con-
Quoted. These were followed by the
ushers. who in turn were followed by a
sister of the bride. The bride and groom
came last. No music accompanied the
solemn march, but the party took their
seats facing the assembly, and after a
brief but dignified silence Mr.. Byerly
and the bride-elect arose and repeated
the vows. Upon concluding, they re-
sumed their seats, and the ushers
brought the table and certificate of
marriage for their signatures. The
overseers, on behalf of the meeting,
signed as witnesses to the contract.
The parchment was then handed to the
clerk of the Monthly Meeting, WHO
read it a aloud. after which the bridal
company withdrew, and those who wifi
messed the ceremony were requested "
also sign the certificate as witnesses!
and about one hundred did so.
The County Commissioners were in
the popular demand for good roads, de-
cided on the construction of two miles
of stone road; one leading from Snow
Hill towards Berlin over Purnell's Mill
Pond, the other running from Berlin
towards Ironshire. The County Com
missioners advertised for bids for the
construction of these two roads, but.
as no bids were submitted, they will
take charge of the work themselves
and engage the services of competent
engineer. Under the provisions of the
Shoemaker Road Law, the property
owners along the stone road will bear
ten per cent of the cost of construction,
the county forty per cent, and the
state fifty per cent. The two roads
have already been surveyed. plans and
specifications of which have been in the
hands of the County Commissioners for
several weeks. The County Commits
sioners will have the aid and co-opera-
ton of the Maryland State Survey. as
the roads will have to be passed upon
and accepted by that department before
the State aid will be forthcoming. II
is confidently expected that work will
begin in few weeks, so as to complete
the work before winter.
