BANKERT SUES S. P. c. A.
Charges Agent With Trespass and
Asks for $500 Damages.


Suit was instituted in the Superior Court of
Baltimore Monday by Raymond P. Bankard
against the Maryland Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. The ground upon
which suit was brought is that in the early
part of this month an unknown person in
Westminster notified the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals that Mr.. Bank
ard had on that day been guilty of mistreating
horse belonging TO himself. An agent of
the Society was sent to Westminster to make
an investigation. He arrived there late in the
afternoon and went to Mr.. Bankard's stable.
where the horse, which at that time was said
to be suffering with collie, was kept. Without
permission, it is asserted, the agent fired
bullet into the horses head. The bullet failed
to kill the horse, and it suffered until IL
O'Clock that night, when it was put out of its
misery. The suit charges that the agent of
the Society was trespasser, and asks for $500
damages.

is so far out of the usual lecture line as to give
promise of great interest.
February 7th, Mr.. Frederic Martin, Basso,

Martin is an Oratorio Soloist who has the best
things said in his praise. He is a man of

Public Sprayers.

We have recognized for some time the need
of public sprayers in many parts of the State
in order that the fruit and shade trees in our
cities, towns and villages as we'll as small
orchards surrounding same can be treated for
the San Jose Scale, and other pests as we'll as
diseases.
The owners of these trees are usually not in
a position to secure the necessary apparatus to
enable them to conduct the work. but the vast
majority would order such treatment done by
a responsible man, at reasonable cost.
1t is the aim of the Department to establish
several public sprayers in localities where there
is greatest demand for them. The sprayers
will be conducted on self supporting basis,
charging for the work sufficiently to cover
cost of materials and operation.
So far as we know: this Department was the
first TO undertake this phase of the work in
the country. Three outfits were operated sue
cessfully last spring, at charge OF 10 cts. to
20 cts. per tree. depending upon the size and
number of the trees sprayed. While the num-
ber that we shall be able to establish this year
will be limited, we wish all persons desiring
to have a sprayer located in their vicinity
to answer our advertisement, by writing TO US
at once. Very truly yours,

1t would be great convenience to the rural

selves with stamps and afix them to their
mail, as it is very difficult TO pick pennies for
stamps out of the box in cold weather By
so doing they will confer great favor upon
their carrier, and will also insure prompter
dispatch of mail. 1t would be wise for them
to purchase stamped envelopes with their
route number on and by putting their name
or box number on them they would not go to
the Dead Letter Office. Carriers have for
sale stamps and stamped envelopes at all
times,
