Dr. Bosley's Heat Remedy.-Health Com.
missioner Bosley is great believer in the mon
profanity" remedy for avoiding ill-eftects from
the intense heat during the summer, says the
Baltimore Anaericd7a The first thing person
should do" remarked DR.. Bosley, sis to take
pledge not to use an oath during the remain
der of the summer, and if the pledge is kept,
I'll make the prediction that there will be less
suffering from the heat than there would be
otherwise. The man who uses profane lam
guage is usually person who has an ill-temper,
is easily ratified. and while in this state, one
is bound to suffer in warm weather. l have
noticed it over and over again that men who
do not begin swearing at old Sol every time
he chances to make humanity swelter, easily
endure the heat all through the summer and
seem to be enjoying cool breeze, while the
profane man will be simply sweltering. In
my opinion, the non profanity remedy is
splendid one for throwing kind of halo
around ones existence during the summer
Dr. Bosley is a native of Baltimore county
and, of course, his advice is sound.
To Arbitrate Between Baltimore City
and Mr.. Willis.-Hon. Stevenson A. Will
liams, of Belair, has been selected as the third
arbitrator, or umpire, in the arbitration pro-
ceedings between the Baltimore Sewerage
of the Willis tract of land of about 600 acres,
in Patapsco Neck, needed for the sewerage dis
posal plans. Mr.. Williams was chosen by the
original arbitrators-Mr. E. H. Perkins repre-
senting the city, and Mr.. Charles G. Homer
representing Mr.. Willis. Mr.. Williams will sit
as referee, to whom will be referred only such
questions on which Messrs Perkins and Homer
may fail to agree. At the suggestion of Mr..
Willis the city will arbitrate for the property
instead of condemning it. which is the more
expeditions and, at the same time, less costly
method of acquiring land.

Some of our county roads have been badly
washed by the recent rains. There seems to
be no one in the district to take any interest in
the repairing of them, consequently we may

Philopolis, 9th District.-The rain of last
Sunday afternoon was unusually heavy, es-
pecially so in the neighborhood of White
House, 5th district, and as result Black Rock
run was higher than it had been in many
years. The dam at Black Rock mill gave way
and about half of it was ruined. The water
also spread around above the mill and seriously
damaged the county road at that point. Mr..
Mann, proprietor of the mill, says his loss will
reach 81, 900. The water was about two feet
deep on the Western Run pike and up 10 the
iron bridge at Patterson & Coles mill, but
their dam was strong enough to withstand the
force of the water.
Mr.. Peter Kessler, the well known Gamer,
has fine stand of tomatoes, but he says the
vines have not yet shown much fruit. He
thinks there has been too much wet weather
to insure good crop. The vines are luxuriant,
but the crop does not promise well.
The wheat crop in this section was above the
average, but the hay was not good. The pros
poets for corn are excellent.
The patrons and friends are hoping that an
addition will be built to the Butler school house
this summer. l..

Summer Life in Green Spring Valley
Life in Green Spring Valley during the sum-
mer is as restful as it is delightful, says the
Baltimore San. Just far enough from the city
to be in the real country and near enough to
make frequent shopping and business trips
practicable, the valley offers refuge from the
heat during the warm season. 1t is sort of
home place, where some quiet-loving folks 60
for the entire summer and where those who
enjoy the excitement of fashionable resorts
stop off, SO to speak, between their trips.
Besides those two classes there are those who
make the valley their home all the year round.
Winter in the country has no terrors for them.
They avow with great steadfastnass that it's
not bit colder out there than in the city
that Is, In the winter. In the summar, how
ever, it is entirely different The atmosphere
is as clear and cool as on the mountain top
and many Baltimoreans declare there is no
spot any where the equal of the valley.
1t is curious fact, too, this craftsmanship of
the valley jewellers, but it is hardly to be won
dered at when one considers the advantages.
The country itself slopes and rolls in beautiful
hills and glades. Even the trees and the flowers
are greener and prettier than in many other
localities.
After all, however, where would the popu-
larity of the valley be if it were not for the
fame of its residents. They have about them
a certain freedom from conventional restraint
that is delightful. They are charming hosts
and hostesses, and some beautifully arranged
entertainments are given. IL IS CHARACTERISTIC
of the jewellers, however, to be home-lovers,
and their pride in their own community is
deep.
Besides the country places-too large to be
called cottages-there is the Chattoanee Hotel,
with its adjacent cottages and Avalon Inn.
These, with the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club and the EIkridge Kennels, are a sort of
nucleus around which the social life centers.
Dances are given at the hotels and frequent
dinners at the kennels. Bridge is the all.ab-
sorbing sensation. 1t is bridge after breakfast,
bridge after luncheon and bridge after dinner.
Some of the devotees become so interested that
the games often run far into the night.
There is dancing every night at the hotel
and the inn and many of the "valleyites"
attend. Last year it was customary to have
big dance at the hotel on Saturday night, when
a number of city people came out. This
practice has been, in measure, done away
with.
Tennis is favorite sport at the hotel and as
the building accommodates 300 guests goodly
number of skilled players are found each year.
There are about II cottages near by and their
occupants love free and easy sort of life,
taking their meals at the hotel and at the same
time having the pleasures of home

Mrs. John Snyder, of this neighborhood,
continues very i'll and the physicians give no
hope for her recovery.
Both Mr.. John Horn and Mr.. William J.
Mohr have lost horse from collie and Mr.
John Vogt had one very sick with the same
complaint. The people are feeding too much
new hay and this is causing trouble.
The lima bean season is near at hand and
those who grow large crops of them are engag-
ing help to prepare them for market. The
tomato crop does not look as if it would amount
to much. There are plenty of vines but not
much fruit. Too much rain the cause. B.

Complaints about bad roads continue to be

Perry Hall, 18th District.-Rev. o. E.

Walter, Maggie Horn and Katie Vogt.
At the conclusion of the above service Rev.
Mr.. Swinehart baptized child of Mr.. Goettner
