COLLEGE PARK, December 6, 1905.
Seventy-hve representative tobacco grow
ers from the five counties of southern
Maryland and Montgomery, Frederick.
Howard and Carroll counties, assembled
at the Maryland Agricultural College YES
terday afternoon as the guests of Can't.
Richard w. Sylvester, president of the COL
lege, and Director Harry j. Patterson of
the Maryland experiment station. The
convention yesterday was the first annual
meeting of the Tobacco Growers Associ-
alton OF Maryland, which was organized
some weeks ago One of the important
developments yesterday was the decision
TO incorporate the association with, capi-
tai stock of $4,000 start Officers were
elected for the ensuing year as follows:
President, William A. Walker. Mount Airy,
Howard county; secretary, Franklin
Weems of West River. Anne Arundel coun-
ty, and treasurer, John H. Drury of Cal
vert county.
Director Harry ]. Patterson of the Mary
land experiment station addressed the meet
ing, during which he pointed out that
much money could be made by close
study of the wants of small buyers, and
that the effort to put up goods in the shape
he desired could be made with compare
lively little labor and would be sure to
bring good results. For the past three
years the tobacco crops have produced a
revenue, but this has been secured by the
agents who sell for the producers This
Is the principal cause of complaint, and the
association will attempt TO sell what Its
members raise. The French government
purchases 10000 hogsheads of tobacco each
year. and one of the principal aims of the
newly organized association will be to have
Its members sell direct to the French buy
ers and an effort will also be made to i'm
prove the local or domestic markets.
Monday the first annual meeting of the
board of directors was held in the college
auditorium, delegates being present from
every tobacco district of the state. Mr.
John H. Drury of Calvert county read
statement of present conditions and made
a strong plea for the necessity for an early
change in these conditions If the business
of cultivating the crop was to be continued.
Mr. W. A. Walker of Howard county sub
mitted an encouraging report from the
dark tobacco districts of Kentucky and
Tennessee He declared that the growers
and are today masters of the situation. The
board of directors prepared set of resolu-
lions which put the movement in official
and definite shape. and these resolutions
were unanimously adopted at the general
meeting held yesterday.
The incorpora tors of the association are
William A. Walker, William F. Robinson,
William F. chaney, George T. Hatchins,
Samuel Cox, jr., John H. Drury. Franklin

LITTLE BOY DIES

Leonard Helke, the nine year old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Helke on
Eleventh street, died Nor day morn
ing at eight O'Clock at the home of his

spinal meningitis, after .only short
illness. Of severity, The little fellow
had tOleave school and will be greatly
missed by his school mates.
Leonard Helke was born on June %,
1896, in this city, and was. therefore,
nine years and three months old. He
was student in the public schools in
Grand Rapids, having reached the
third grade. He was also a member

the parents.

A GOOD RECORD

On October first, 1900, Rev. w. A.
Peterson came to Grand Rapids as
pastor of the Methodist church, and
he has been with US continuously since
that time. Five years in all he has
held the pulpit in that church and his
work has been such that it can be seen
before us now. He rendered his
resignation at the district conference
which was held in Grand Rapids this
year. / believe all his friends will
agree with me IN. saying that noble
work, morally, socially, and spiritually
has been accomplished through his
efforts.
A large membership has been added
to the church during the five years
just closed. Rev. Peterson is an ac-
complished speaker and has proved
himself an untiring and persistent
worker for the advancement of chris
tianity and good morals among us.
While here he has won to himself and
family host of friends both 10 and
outside of the church who will regret
his going. We cherish his memory
and the good work he has done, aud
we wish for him and his eStimable
family a pleasant and prosperous
future. We shall miss him for his
christian character and for the earnest
interest he has shown and taken in
those around him. While we fee
that his going away is great loss, we
take pleasure in recommending him tC
those he has been called to labor with
| in his chosen work, and we hope that
they to whom he comes may appre
ciate the fact that his coming is fol
great good and gain in the advance
ment and building up of the church il
their locality

KISSING Is HEALTHY.

With feelings of unmixed joy we
chronicle the fact that a distinguished
French physician has gone against his
colleagues and actually stood up fol
kissing. Far from being harmful, it
is wholesome. The miStletoe should
be encouraged by enlightened prac.
titiOners all the year round. Kisses
carry microbes, of course. So much
the better, says this amiable authority.
The interchange of certain bacilli is a
laudable and healthful practice. In
kissing it is not SO much the bad
microbes as the beneficent ones that
are exchanged. These good bacteria,
as is well known, are not only favor.
able, but essential to digestion. If we
were to steriliZe our inner man, COM
pletely killing the white with the
black sheep among our colonies of
bacilli, we should instantly die. Now,
by exchanging our friendly microbes
we stimulate them. kissing, there
fore, is natural therapeutic custom,
the jolly physician concludes, and who
knows but what some day the kissing
cure will be ordered for dyspepsia by up
tO-date hysicians?-LeSlie's Weekly.

VANDALS STILL AT LARGE

The grave yard vandalS in the
northern part of Wisconsin and
Michigan have not yet been apprehen-
ded, and are continuing in their work
of destruction. In Negaunee, Mich,
watch was kept Saturday night, but
Notwithstanding this fact the van
dals entered the cemetery and
destroyed thousands of dollars worth
of monuments. One. stone alone
which was almost entirely demolished
cost $1,000. Though the watchmen
say they kept close watch all night.
they evidently did not do as they
said for the yandals must have been
in the cemetery for more than half
an hour to have wrought the des-
truction they did. The people: OF
this section of the country are very
much wrought up, and in letters and
communications to Bishop Fox,
have expressed themselves in such
manner that he declared that should
the men be caught by the farmers of
that country, the destroyers will be
dealt with summarily. Meanwhile q
stricter watch is being kept along the
line or path the fellows seem to be
following, aud they are expected to be
caught at any time. Rewards have
been offered and these are added
incentives toward the capture OF the
men,

FOR FOURTH TERN
This is from Madison:

This is from Madison:
If the efforts to get Connor out OF
the field prove fruitless the LaFOllette
machine support will lie thrown to
Lieut.-Gov. G, o. Davidson unless Gov.
Lar Tollette himself should decide to
run for fourth term.
Speaker Irvine L. Lenroot will not
be in the field if w. D. Connor is q
Candidate.
1t is said that in talking with his
close advisors the governor declared
emphatically that William D Conno1
should never be governor with his
consent.
1t is said in several of his confer
ences Gov. La Toilette plainly dropped
the hint that if necessary to save bis
machine he might not take the sena-
torial seat but instead might make a
fourth gubernatorial run himself.
While this was regarded as bluff,
it was said that the multiplicity OF
gubernatorial candidates and fear
on the part of LaFollette that with
himself absent from the state Mr.
COnnor would gain control of the La
Toilette machine, might keep the
governor in Wisconsin.
