- Baltimore county farmers are congratu
latiDg themselves upon the fine weather OF the
present fall. Everything seems to be going
right with the tillers of earth except one thing
/ and this is the scarcity of capable farm help
This is the cause of general lament and, ap
parently, there is no remedy for ii.

Norris & Burk, Monkton, who died suddenly
in Baltimore last week, conducted stores in
Belair and Fallston before locating at Union.

of Rev. Resa Scott Norris one of the founders
of the Methodist Protestant Church.
- Attention is invited to communication
on the second page of The UNION today on the
farm labor problem in Maryland. This is one
of the most important matters that the farmers
are facing today, and the scheme here proposed
looks like an excellent one to bring about q
greatly desired end. The plan is too good to
be treated lightly.
- There are good many people in Bati-
more county who favor compulsory educa-
ton law. They appear to think such a law
the only means to the end of giving all children
something of an education. at present many
children stay away from school for one excuse
or another and their parents have not the
moral courage to compel them to attend.
THE Union Sunday school of Timonium
on Thanksgiving night paid donation visit
TO Rev. l.. w. Gosnell, at his home in Luther
vile carrying with them an abundance of
articles for the table, etc. Mr.. Gosnell, who is
the superintendent, has worked earnestly for
the success of the school and the members
adopted this plan to show their appreciation.
1.-THE Woman's Auxiliary, of Trinity
Church. Towson, including the Lutherville,
Ruxton and Sherwood branches, this week
sent box, the contents of which were valued
at $500, to Rev. d. Z. Mayors, OF South Boston,
Va. The box contained generous supply of
entirely new clothing for the minister's family
which consists of himself, wife and one child.
-Mr. J. Henry Meyers, administrator of
Mrs. Minnie PAIL, of Hebbville, sold all the
personal effects of the deceased at her late
home, on the 22d ult. The attendance at the
sale, which was advertised in The UNION, was
large and very satisfactory prices were received
throughout. The total amount of sales was
over $500. Caleb s. Hobbs was the auc
tioneer.
->The G. & P. Telephone Company now
has the northern. north western sections of
Baltimore county pretty we'll covered with its
telephone lines and it is likely that these will
be extended as necessities require. This will
prove great benefit to farming communities,
and no doubt the farmers and others will

to be gained by such service.
IA number of farmers in Montgomery
county, Md, representing more than 20,000
acres ofland, have banded together and pledged
themselves not to hunt with guns nor permit
anyone else to do so. They think by this
means they can protect birds better than any
law can do and thus give them a chance to in
crease their number. There are said to be very
few birds in that county at this time.
->The sOrrel mare advertised in THE UNION
last week by Mr.. James HI. Linzey, ofTowson,
turned out to be the property of Mr.. Ernest
brought her here left her at the stable and did
not say that Mr.. T. A. B. Dukehart would call
for her, but said man would come and get
her. 1t was only through the advertisement
that Mr.. Dukehart ascertalned the whereabouts
of the animal.
Several Towson passengers standing on
a street corner waiting in the rain twenty
minutes for through car. One comes along
but because it is jammed with Scent passen-
gers the motorman sails by needless of all sig
nails to stop. and this means another dreary
wait Is it not possible for the company to
remedy this outrage on a longsuffering people?
Can't some plan be devised to keep the 5-centers
off the 10 cent cars?
THE old man who passes up through
Towson on foot every spring and returns in
the fall by the same route, went down the pike
towards Baltimore on Tuesday. He has been
fall for more than twenty years, but he is so
close mouthed that he will not give anything
out as to where he goes or what he does. He
carries a couple of small packs and invariably
has dog with him.
->As q result of last months election three
entirely new men-that is, men who never
held Office in Baltimore county before-were
indicted into office in TOwson early this week.
These are DR.. ]. E. Bolte, Register of Wills;
MIR: 9. Lyon. Rogers, Jr;, County Treasurer,
and Mr.. Jacob Elliott Sheriff. Perhaps the
Democratic managers propose to follow up this
rule hereafter of rewarding others of their many
capable and deserving men by giving them a
chance at the plum tree.
>M Mr.. George II. Merryman, while driving
home from Towson a few evenings ago, had an
unpleasant experience with an automobile.
His horse became frightened at the machine
and he called to the fellow driving it to stop
until he got by. This he did not do but said
in an insolent manner to Mr.. Merryman: "Get
out and hold your horse" There is certain
class of cattle who run autos that should be
taught lesson and unless we are much mis-
taken they'll get it one of these fine days.
THE large unoccupied mansion at Aig.
burth Park, adjoining Towson, was entered
lately presumably at night, and robbed of
much of its plumbing work, entailing damage
and loss to the extent of nearly 5000. Joshua
Banks, colored man who lives on REGISTER
avenue, to whose place some of the stolen
articles were traced, was arrested charged with
the theft. He said he bought the stuff from
another person and he was able to prove that
he did at the hearing before Justice Herbert.
Some Seasonable Hints About Shop
ping.-An exchange says: "a test Of refine
ment is best observed in the way one person
deals with another. Go into any store and
that the refined people carry their quality in
every little turn of the trade. They are the
easiest to deal with. They ask the price in a
gentle voice, as If they expect the storekeeper
to give soft and sincere answer. If they are
disappointed, they don't show 1t in manner
that would indicate that the salesman was try
ing to rob them. If the price surprises them,
they give no sign but sweetly shift to some
thing else. It is Joy to deal with such peo-
pie. 1t is really q pleasure to watch them.
One likes to see gentle breeding even in the
purchase of yard of muslin or a pound of
sausage One can always tell such people when
they approach the counter. They anticipate
civility because they take courtesy with them.
The surest refinement is that which goes
abroad; that is not always keeping company
in parlor; that loves to be itself on the troll
lev, at the market stall or the glove counter
1t doesn't exhibit itself, but 1t cannot be hid.
1t makes amends for a poor, weary, sales.
woman, who has been on her feet all day, and
puts a tone of sympathy and respect in the
very business that she comes to transact That
is refinement. 1t is the sunshine that makes
the flowers grow along ones path. One always
likes to see refined person come about. and it
is nowhere that such one is so welcome as in
a store or other place of business. By making
Joy in this way TO others, one carries bless
ing away with him."
The Weather of November, 1905 The
Baltimore Weather Bureau records show no
better Novembers than the month just closed.
While the temperature has not been above the
normal, it happened to strike the mean for
the last "a years, which is 46 degrees. The
warmest November in the same period was in
