THE popularity of the Towson Guild

a great stroke on the part of those who had the
matter in hand as it affords pleasant place of
recreation for residents of the town as well as
TO visitors.

-->Some people think that employment on
the electric cars has had much to do with re-
ducing the ranks of farm help. On the cars
the men get better pay and shorter hours than
they do on farms, hence their preference for
that kind of employment. And then there is
more life on the cars, and this has something
to do with it also.

been strong in the winning except for this
untoward circumstance.

MIR Charles NJ. Chilcoat, of Butler, sent
