Look to Your Drainage.

The following is taken from recent
resume of bulletin of the State Board
of Health
1.-The Health Officers Bulletin for May, /,
Just issued, reminds health officers that
typhoid fever may be expected to begin
its regular summer rise about this time.
The bulk of the summer typhoid, it is
stated, is still due in Maryland in the
majority of instances to polluted water.
Prompt action on the part of the
health officers will prevent large
amount of unnecessary sickness and
deaths, and the investigation OF all pub
lie water supplies and as many private
supplies as possible during the early
summer months is recommended.
Many persons buying suburban prop
erty think they have secured good and
sanitary drainage, when in reality the
SO called systems in their homes are
but traps to breed disease. We offer you
a system which has received the approval
OF the best sanitary engineers and the
health authorities. 1t is an irrigation
plant that can be used on any suburban
lot that is as much as $50 feet deep, and
will cost only $40 and upward
Consultations will cost nothing and
estimates will be cheerfully furnished.

INTERCLUB GRASS SERIES
They Play Rings Round Sub
urbans, Who Are Licked
Before They Battle.

Imagine an old cart horse going up
against q field of classy trotters, every
one of which can step it in 2:15, or fig
ures thereabouts, and you have pretty
fair similitude of the figure cut by the
all-star Suburbans when they stacked
against similar aggregation selected
from the ranks of the Interclub in a
series of three games at Oriole Park last
week. The Suburban chaps are nice
lot of ball tossers and have put up as
fine an article of the game this season
as local cranks were ever given an op-
portunity to rear on their hind legs and
howl at and otherwise disport them
selves as being fit subjects to have their
cases diagnosed by expert alienists.
The neck -and-neck race in the league,
the deciding game of which will be
pulled off to-day at Dundalk between
the Highlanders and Swimmers, is evil
dence that the clubs are pretty evenly
matched. But when they essayed to
humble the Interclub stars the specta-
tors were treated to an antithetical ex-
hibition.
The first contest came off on Friday,
when the Suburbans were fiayed alive,
being defeated is to 5. Manager Jenifer
had all kinds of trouble with his salvo
department. s'Dal. H. was finally
selected for the job and for number Of
innings held the Interclub sluggers pret-
ty well in hand until he was relieved by
''Honus'' Spencer. "Honus'' hasn't
pitched game this season, and what
they did to him would make more in
teresting reading than that anticipated
when Peary and Cook meet. The de-
feat was so decisive that details would
make painful reading.
A crowd estimated at 1000 persons
witnessed the double-header Saturday
afternoon. The first game went by the
board 13 to 6, and the second, which
only ran for six innings and was called
on account of darkness, was won IL
to 6. The crowd applauded every good
play and appeared to be in jolly good
humor.
The Suburbans started off nicely in
both contests, but they quickly fell down
on their jobs. Russell, who has been
pitching great ball this season, twirled
the first game and five hits were secured
off him. Hart was hit safely 15 times,
couple of them being for extra bases.
Kuszmaul's errors were very costly.
Hoff carried off the fielding honors,
besides being handy man with the stick,
two CT his clouts in the second game
being triples.

Courtesy of French Children.

From Harper's Bazaar
l found an appeal to the chivalry, to
the grace of manner, to courtesy, never
made in vain in France from the top to
the bottom of society. One day, while
making some sketches in the street,
was surrounded by number of inter-
ested children; they kept dancing in
front of me in their enthusiasm, getting
finally very much in my way. l ad-
dressed a little fellow, who seemed to
be ringleader, saying, "H6las on est
votre politesse franchise ?" He looked
at me, then, with a mocking little grin,
he planted himself in front of me, flap
ping his arms in clever way like wings,
shrilly shouting, go, Yankee doodle
doo!" was thoroughly surprised and
amused when he dramatically pulled
his cap over his eyes, pulled up his cape
collar, and folded his arms, becoming
an absurd but unmistakable image of the
Little Corporal, as with bent brows he
addressed his comrades: ''Boys, she is
right. Fall in line! Face March
Fall back The French do know how
to be polite" The boys all marched
behind me, and not once did one boy
again forget and obstruct the view.

To Improve the Hartford Road.-A special
meeting of the Lauraville improvement Asso-
citation was held on Tuesday night, to which
the property holders living along the Hartford
road, between Markley avenue and Ailsa ave-
nue. were invited. 1t was largely attended and
much interest was manifested.
1t was explained by Mr.. Charles G. G. Sack,
the president, that the object of the meeting
was to obtain the opinion of the property
holders in regard to giving up those portions of
their property which will be required by the
State Roads Commission to make the road of
an equal width to the east side of the road from
the car tracks, which now run on the west side
of the road. and which it is intended shall not
be disturbed.
An extensive plat of the proposed road was
exhibited showing what space will be required.
1t runs from two feet to ten feet or more. A
willingness was expressed to give up the ground
needed, which is unimproved, and If the Com
mission would consent, to move back the
honses which are now close to the road. 1t
was suggested that if sidewalks were built on
the west side of the tracks that might be some
compensation for those on the opposite side Of
the road, who are asked to give up their
property.

WaterprOOfing Shoes.
From Country Life in America)

1t is not always convenient or COM
Portable to wear rubbers when walking
on damp country roads or wet city pave
ments, but shoe soles may be rendered
impervious to water by first warming
them slightly and then giving them
several coats of copal varnish, allowing
each coat to dry thoroughly before the
next is applied.

The Drought and the Baltimore County
Corn Crop.-At the last meeting of the Junior
Gunpowder Agricultural Club two of the ques-
tions asked were these:
What is the condition of the corn crop2
Answer-50 per cent. or half crop.
Reference was made to Mr.. Charles A. Coun-
cilman's estimate being as low as 4 barrels to
the acre.
What lesson has the drought taught us?
Answer-That patience is virtue also that
deep plowing of the soil, a good seed-bed and
thorough cultivation of the soil are essential.
especially during dry season. We should
not let the weeds grow to deprive the crops of
moisture. Clean corn fields show the best
crops.
Mr.. W. D. Curry said his corn is better than
the average. He prepared his ground well for
ihe crop and subsoiled the field by having an
Implement to follow in the furrow of the plow
and he thought the loose earth below was an
advantage He did not commence to culti-
vate his corn until it was foot high and then
used a walking cultivator five times in two
weeks. He has 25 acres in corn and will get
10 barrels to the acre. During the drought
the blades did not curl or shrivel. Mr.. VIM.
H. Wight, it was said will get barrels to
the acre.
Mr.. Lewis NJ. Bacon said he planted d acres
of Mr.. Wight's seed corn and the ears are large,
with a great growth of fodder, it having been
planted on low land. He said the drought has
taught us that we should not plant our corn
too thick and we cannot cultivate corn too
we'll.

The Post Office Department and Good
Roads.-A letter from Washington says:
THE recent great improvement in public
roads throughout the country. followed by
agitation of the subject until it has become one
of the live topics of the day. has resulted in
the receipt of many inquiries by the Post
Office Department concerning the matter.
Under directions of Postmaster General Hitch
cock replies in detail are made to these com
munications without reservation.
while the Post Office Department has
nothing official to do with the matter of good
roads or road building, it has co-operated with
the Department of Agriculture. Division of
Good Roads, where government aid is necessary
and in that view the bureau of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General has been able to
materially help the general cause through the
avenues of rural delivery.
"The Post Office Department has for num-
ber of years been using every endeavor within
the limits of its jurisdiction to secure the i'm
provement ofthe public highways. Itis essen
tial for prompt delivery and collection of mails
that roads over which rural delivery service is
established shall be maintained in condition.
This does not necessarily mean that the roads
shall be of the highest improved type but it
does mean that they shall be kept smooth, free
from ruts and drained.
Whenever report is made to the department
that rural routes are in bad condition the road
officials. postmaster and patrons are immedi
ately notified that unless steps are taken with
in a reasonable time to improve the condition
of the roads service will be withdrawn from
such roads.
In furtherance of its policy to secure good
roads the department has been cooperating
with road officials, federal, state and local. and
with good roads associations. The result of
the departments unceasing demands for good
roads has been most gratifying to those in
charge fthe service involved and it is an es-
tablished fact that there has been more money
appropriated for and spent on good roads dur
ing the 13 years which rural delivery has been
in operation than in any other period of the
country's history.
MANY letters have recently been received at
the Post Office Department from different
States extending invitations to officials to at
tend and address good roads conventions and
express the attitude of the department upon
the subject. Circumstances and conditions
have compelled destinations ofthe invitations.
but replies have been made fully explaining
why good roads are essential to the successful
operation of the rural delivery service and
stating that the department directly and
through postmasters and carriers stands ready
to cooperate in all good roads movements so
far as conditions will permit"

The New Agricultural School for Balti-
more County.-A new departure for Balti-
more county teachers will be the establishment
of new agricultural high school to be located
at Sparks Station, Northern Central Railway.
The principal will be Mr.. B. II. Crocherone,
and Miss Troy, of Ithaca, N. Y, is to be the
vice principal. The course of the school is to
include no foreign languages, but in place of
these there will be agriculture for the boys and
domestic science for the girls.
The school will have seven acres of land at
tached, which will be utilized for agricultural
experiments: The aim will be to prepare its
pupils for life in the country by giving them
an outdoor environment. Nature study will
he one of the specialties of the high school
course. The farmers of the neighborhood will
hold their monthly meetings at the school, and
will have the building serve as their central
place of gathering. As it is known that 96 per
cent. of the high school pupils do not pursue
further course in college, it is proposed to make
this finishing school as well as preparatory
school for such pupils as may desire to have
further instruction in college courses The
equipment is thoroughly new and modern,
with granite 6re-proof building having large
class-rooms and laboratories.
The courses are open to graduates of the
seventh grade of the regular schools, and to
others by special permission. The regular
course of four years, leading to graduation or
to college, includes studies in Arithmetic, AL
zebra, Geometry, Rhetoric, Composition. Ltera-
ture. American, English European History,
Public Speaking, Physiology, Commercial
Geography, Farm Book Keeping, Botany,
Chemistry, Physics, Agriculture, Domestic
Science Manual Training, with Laboratory
work.
The special course is intended for those who
cannot complete four year course. One or
more terms of Agriculture, Domestic Science,
or other subjects may be secured by special
arrangement No tuition fees are to be charged,
except to pupils not residing in the county.
The school will open on or about November /.
