Jet in order that the most may be real
ICED from the paper with the least dis
tress to the makers. Thee ommittee con-
sists of James D. Ferguson, president Of
the First National Bank of Baltimore,
Edward II. Thomson, president of the
Maryland National Bank of Baltimore,
James X. Wheeler, president of the Com
monwealth Bank of Baltimore, William
II. Harlan and Richard Dalam Of Bel
Air. Richard Dallam has been selected
as chairman Of the committee and Mr..
Edward II. Thomson as secretary and
treasurer
1t is understood that about three
fourths of all the claims against packers
held by banks have already been placed in
their hands and the other holders of
packers notes are expected to Co operate.
By a discreet extension of time for final
payment, and liberal settlements, where
full payment cannot be ultimately eX-
pected, the makers and holders of this
paper will be alike benefited, for nothing
adds so much to the earning capacity Of
a man as to feel that friendly aid will
beextended him while doing his best, and
that this having been done, no more will
be asked of him.
Through the assistance of this commit
tee a great many of these packers have
already been able to arrange for conduct
ing their canning operations this season,
an arrangement which would have been
but for the agreement of the
committee that immediate settlements
would not be demanded. and that fac
tories may be operated without interior
ence.
1t is understood to he the policy of this
committee where packers will be abso-
lutely unable to meet their obligations in
full to grant such extensions of time and
so scale down he Indebtedness that as
signments in such cases will be unneces-
Sary.
1t is extremely fortunate that this plan
of mutual cooperation will obHiate
proceedings in a majority Of
cases; for a bankrupt court is not only
disastrous to the credit of community,
but its operations are expensive and re-
turns light
With the door of hope still open to her
thrifty sons who have met with tempo
rarv disaster. Hartford will in a few years
resume her usual standing in the state

COLT SHOW.

There is some talk of holding a colt
show on the Agricultural Fair Grounds
this fall and owners of the fair grounds
are anxious to revive the county fair
along original lines.
The original aim of the county fair was
for exhibiting the products of the county.
In the various counties of England these
shows become markets where farmers
bring their cattle, sheep and horses for
exhibit and sale, and where the pur-
chasers from the cities come to buy. This
same method is pursued in certain por-
tions of America. The colt shows at
Upperville and Harrisonburg. Virginia.
are well known, and have served to adj
vertise that portion of the country for
its fine horses. There is no reason why
some of the products of Hartford county
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1906-08-10
should not become known by similar

should not become known by similar
! means.
The present year has progressed so far
that it is now impossible to make an cx-
tended show this season, but it is
thought wise to endeavor to make an
exhibit of one or two products of Har-
ford county soil to see if the farmers OF
Hartford desires to advertise their pro-
ducts by exhibition and sale. 1t is posi-
BILE that seed corn exhibit will be held
at the same time as the colt show, and
possibly the Hartford County Poultry
Association may determine to hold an
exhibit in connection with the others.
The success of such project will de-
pend entirely upon the cooperation OF
the farmers of Hartford, and it is hoped
the project may materialize.
BASE BALL
The Bel Air base ball club had its
second shut out of the season at Havre
de Grace on Saturday. The local club OF
that place was the victor, the score being
to 0. 1t was the prettiest game that
has been played this season, and but for
the work of Havre de Grace's new pitcher,
the result would have been easily fore
told. Bel Air was also handicapped by
not having Miller, who has left the club
and gone back to his home in West Vir-
ginia. His place was taken by one of the
Walbrook pitchers, who would have had
larger number of hits, but for the
magnificent field work of his supporters.
The criticism that the umpire, Jobcs was
not fair in his decisions should be recorded
as errors of judgment only, as he seemed
to try to give unbiased decisions. We
would respectfully suggest to the manage
ment of both clubs, however, that they
bring disinterested man from a dis
tarce to umpire this series of games for
the championship of Hartford, SO that
there could be no chance to charge favor
itism. A number of Jobes' decisions were
certainly open to serious question, and
had he not been surrounded by several
hundred of the faithful, who his decisions
seemed to please. the chances are that the
crowd would have roasted him number
OF times.
Tomorrow Saturday afternoon the
Elkton base ball team will visit Bel Air
for the first time This teamiS easily the
champions of Cecil county, besides hav-
ing defeated several of the strongest |
teams of the State, as well as Delaware.
Bel Air will be represented by strong
team, and spirited contest is expected. |
The game will be called at $50 o'clock,
instead of / O'Clock. as heretofore. The
batteries announced are: Bel Air, Weger |
and Booher; Elkton. Denny or Boyer and
Brown.
Ga next Wednesday, August 10, the
Sparrows Point club will visit Bel Air for
the third time this season. The visitors
have carried off the first two games, and |
Bel Air will make every effort to turn the
tables this time.

CANNING INDUSTRY IN HARTFORD COUNTY.

In view of the fact that the canning in
dustry is directly and indirectly by far
the largest one in which the people of
Hartford county are engaged, and that
great unrest and uneasiness have existed
for sometime as to existing conditions
and their future effects, we have thought
best to secure the facts and give them in
reliable shape to our readers.
Incidental to the failure of the syndi-
cate to market at a profit their large
holding of tomatoes, a number of Har-
ford packers who had placed their goods
in the syndicate's hands now find them
selves on the eve of the season OF 1906
heavily indebted to sundry banks on
notes given for advances made during
last season, the proceeds Of which notes
are now locked up in goods not under
their control, because a bankers canned
goods committee has taken over all the
tomatoes recently carried for the syndi-
cate by Smith, Rouse and Webster. This
committee has established a selling
agency in Baltimore and is disposing of
the goods as rapidly as the market will
absorb them.
A general knowledge that a large line
| of packers notes exist has led to the con-
clusion that they are chic fly held by IIar-
ford banks, and has created serious I'M
rest as to the possible effect on these
banks.
After a thorough investigation of the
matter we are in position to state I'M
qualiiedly, first, that while the banks of
Hartford county hold a portion OF these
notes, by far the greater part are in the
hands of banks outside Of Harford-Bal-
timOrc City and elsewhere; and second,
that every bank in Hartford is amply able
to take care of its holdings and itscusto-
mers generally. 1t is gratifying in this
connection to state that in several in
stances the deposits are above the normal
for this season of the year.
A number of the various banks holding
Gamers notes have organized the
