Referring to the country, Mr.. Hopes
says:
This Is certainly wonderful country
in every respect and has to be seen before
one can quite grasp the immensely OF its
resources. think it would do our people
lots of good to see the methods employed
here and get in touch with these aggres-
siyc. progressive, up-to-date, intelligent
people.
while we can, and few of our people
do. raise as much corn, wheat and grass,
we cannot compete with these rich,
marty, level or gently rolling prairies in
such crops; for here the blue grass and
white clover grow up and fall downuntil
one cannot feel the ground under his feet.
This is done without any fertilizer, stable
manure or care, and it looks like it would

able. Comparing the youthful faces il
the audience with the amount of money
in the birthday sacks suggested that the

known McComas Quartette and Miss
kindley, an excellent elocutionist, o
Frederick, assisted by local talent, de
lightfully entertained their hearers. The
old church building had been made very
inviting by floral decorations and here
refreshments were served by the young
members of the church. The receipts
were most gratifying and the expense:

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.

The Town Commissioners of Bel Air
are constructing a two foot terra Gotta
sewer along portion Of Howard street,
which will carry the waste water and
drainage passing from the western sec
ton of the town into Jones Falls. A
closed sewer along this street is very de-
sirable both from the standpoint of health
and convenience, but why the present
method of construction was adopted we
have been unable to learn. Some years
ago stone and mortar gutter OF ample
size with paved bottom was constructed
along the same section, and, had it been
covered with slate slabs and earth, a
large sewer and quite as satisfactory as
the new one would have been completed
at very little cost.
Not in a complaining spirit, but to
represent the needs of long suffering
people, we respectfully remind the Town
Commissioners that a series of breaks
exist in the pike on Broadway which rem
der it impossible to travel this street with
any degree of comfort. We know that
the town has not a large sum of money
at its disposal for street Improvement
but when few perches of stone vii,
make one of our main streets an attraC
tive driveway instead of a daily torture
to all who use it, we cannot forbear from
expressing surprise and regret that few
which has received practically no atten
ton for a number of years. Quite a goot
deal of substantial work has been done
on pavements during the past two years
and VIC are in hopes that the Board vii
find it wise to do something for stree
beds in the near future.

CHEAP ROAD SCRApER.

As the result of the agitation tor good
dirt roads the following sCraper has been
devised and used successfully on the dirt
roads on our prairie lands in the west.
Split in half log ten or twelve inches
in diameter and about nine feet long;
unite the two pieces with three strong
rungs, setting the sections tthe log with
flat faces forward, the front halt being
inclined forward at the bottom; tasten
to the left hand half of the front log a
sharpened piece of wagon tire well
secured; insert an angle brace for
STRENGTHENING. Attach two chains otun-
equal length running through front
section and fasten to the rear so the
drag will run at an angle OF about 10
degrees. Use when the road is rather
soft from rain and regulate the amount
of earth drawn by the position on the
drag taken bv the driver; drag as frequent
ly as possible so as to keep the earth,
which has been puddled by constant
travel, in the main road bed, and especial
" drag early in the spring to insure good
summer roads, and just before freezing
to secure good winter roads whentrozen.

HOME COMING WEEK.

Preparations for home coming week
are progressing SO rapidly and favorably
that results so far exceed the tondcst
hopes of its promoters.
Hon. J. Charles Liuthicum, chairman
of the Executive Committee, struck the
KEY note recently when he said:
"Marylanders are naturally hospitable.
We take greater interest in strangers
who come within our gates than do the
people of other sections of the country.
As for our own people who come back to
their native heath after years of absence
it is the opinion of the Marylander that
nothing on earth is too good for them
You may ascribe it to the climate, if you
please, or you may ascribe it to any other
source, but certain it is this spirit of
hospitality is born in the Marylander,
and he breathcs it in the air. at this
time every child of the State and every
adopted child of the State seems to be
enthused at the prospect of welcoming
home and Entertaining his flesh and blood,
his kith and kin, his friend and neighbor,
who have wandered to other parts, and it
is this enthusiasm of Maryland for these
wanderers that Is forming the sure foun-
dation for more successful Homecoming
than has vet been held"
