The Big Celebration in Baltimore

1t is TO be no mean part that this good old
city of Westminster is to play in the Greater
Baltimore Jubilee next week. 1t is impossi-
Bile to give an idea of the number of residents
of this city and vicinity who will visit the
Monumental City on this occasion to partici
pate in the general rejoicing and to enjoy the
various features which are to form the attrac-
tions during the period of jubilation. 1t is
probable that thousands will avail themselves
of the reduced rates to make single day trips
to the States metropolis and hundreds will
90 10 stay two or three or more days. The
Westmin ster Fire Department Drum Corps
and the Westminster Fire Company which re-
sponded so promptly to the call OF the city in
it's hour of distress in February of 1904 will
march with the other visiting fireman, who
aided in subduing the flames. News comes
from Baltimore that the delegations expected
from throughout the State will be the largest
ever assembled there. Washington county il
expected to send more than two thousand WIS.,
i,ors, many of whom will be drawn by the big
sham battle of the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. which will
follow the industrial parade on Wednesday.
All the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. features will be free
of charge to the public.
The last finishing touches have been put on
the Greater Baltimore Jubilee week plans and
the period of the ciiy's official thanksgiving
and relOlGlnS VIII NC III WIN Poeoho
of praise Sunday morning. Religious services
are to be he'd ii all the churches i'll the city
as fitting prelude to the season of gayety
which is to mark the recovery of Baltimore
from the fire disaster of 1904. The fleet OF
government vessels that is to anchor in the
harbor Monday will comprise at least six and
probably ten ships. Of these two are to be
cruisers and the secretary of the navy has
promised that he will try to have three at the
Jubilee. 1t is understood late this week that
the way was cleared for three of the vessels
of this class. At least three of the Trim craft
of the revenue service will be part OF the fleet,
and the monitor Miantonomah, The practice
ship OF the Maryland Navy Reserves, will help
swell Baltimore's navy force for this occasion.
The military pageant of Tuesday will be one
of great brillancy. The industrial parade OF
Wednesday will have at least 10000 men
in line to say nothing of 200 handsome floats.
1t will require two and half hours for this
procession to pass a given point. The lire
mems parade of Thursday will give the people
chance to see the laddies of Baltimore and
those from other cities who fought the big
fire of two and half years ago. Friday
night there will be big automobile parade
and Saturday Jubilee week will wind up in a
masked carnival.

so even temper, as when his neighbors and

all entered into sports usually in vogue on
such occasions. All seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely, until about IL O'Clock when
they were invited to the dining room, where a
repast was in waiting, to which all subscribed
very heartily, at the expense of their appe-
titles, which were in first class trim, judging
from the way the good things so lavishly pre-
pared disappeared. At the hour of midnight
all repaired to their homes, not forgetting, how
ever to wish their host and hostess goodbye,
and wishing them the return of many more
such happy events. Those present were Mr..

err with good results. | regard 1t as
one OF the most profitable crops that
farmers can raise, inasmuch as the
money value Of hay and seed Is nearly
as great as for any other crop, and
the increased fertility of the soil Is
worth at least half as much as the
crop. 1t is the cheapest and most
easily applied manure we can use,
even with the seed selling at eight
or ten dollars per bushel. My eX.
%perience has been that 1t will yield
from one to two tons of hay to the
acre, but | have never had what might
be called a big yield of seed. In fact
| do not know how much seed | yer
raised to the acre, but | have raised
enough TO pay a yearly rental OF three
dollars per acre. Besides, the crop OF
corn following the clover yielded TWEEN
ty bushels per acre more than the crop
that preceded it. This perhaps should
not all be credited to the clover,
though as preparation for a crop of
corn there Is nothing equal to clover.
The hay does not command a high
price In the market, nor as ready a
sale as timothy, but for farm animals,
unless 1t be horses, it is in my judg.
ment far superior. | have never had

There was a famous instance some
years ago On the South Florida rail

people that she gained the name of

three engine drivers actually left the

continue driving her. The odd thing
was that she never seemed to injure
