 HOW TO FIGHT TIT.

The mailing of spring catalogues from the largest mall order house in Chicago has broken all records tor the postofIice there and most other poBtofllce records in the country.
 The tentacles of these great mail order houses reach everywhere, and the great problem of the local mer- chant is how to meet this tremendous competition. It is a problem we would not attempt to solve. but 1t seems the best way to meet the sit uation 1t through the medium of ill- telligent advertising in the local pap CT, and right here the local paper can prove of great aid In assisting the merchant to raise the standard of his advertising by helping him to prepare 1t in an attractive and ap- pealing manner.

Teachers Sue for Salaries

Messrs. Upshur and Upshur, counsel
for certain public school teachers of
Worcester County. have docketed a
suit in the Circuit Court against the
Board of School Commissioners to re-
cover the additional salary payable to
teachers entitled to certain definite
salaries specified in an Act of the
General Assembly of 1908. There are
about 60 teachers entitled under this
Act to an increase in salary for the
years 1905 and 1909. which has not been
paid in full. The School Board express
es its willingness to pay the amount re-
quired by the Act but claims that
sufficient sum not has been appropriated
to meet the requirements of the Act. The
County Commissioners have appropri-
ated SD, 600 in the levy of 1909 for
school purposes. The School Board
claims that the amount is insufficient
for its requirements and here the matter
rests. The Act of the Assembly refer
red to and section of that Act in
particular says:
"All white teachers holding first
class teachers certificate and having
taught for period of three years in
any of the public schools of the State of
Maryland shall receive as a salary not
less than $3.50 per annnm, and provides
further that IF such a teacher holds a
first-class certificate and has taught in
the public schools of Maryland for a
period of five years he or she shall re-
ceive as a salary not less than $500 per
annum:" and provides further that '.If
teacher holds a first-class certificate
and has taught in the public schools of
Maryland for period of eight years he
or she shall receive as a salary not less
than $3.50 per annum. and provided that
if teacher hold second-class certifi-
cate and has taught in the public schools
Of Maryland for period Of eight years
he or she shall receive as a salary not
less than $3.50 per annum and the Coun-
ty Commissioners of the several counties

the increase of salary provided for in

Serious Fire at Stockton.

Last Tuesday afternoon some little
boys playing with matches set fire
TO the barn owned by the L. ]. Houston
Company and in the rear Of the Houston
homestead in the heart of Stockton. In
an incredibly short time after the blaze
was discovered, the whole structure was
a mass of flames and the attention OF
the people was directed to the saving
of the adjacent property. The fire
spread from the barn to the cart anc
wagon houses, corn stacks and Other
small buildings belonging to the Hous-
tons, wiping them out and threatening
the destruction at times of the home OF
Mrs. Houston.
Very fortunately, the wind was blow.
ing from the south and therefore away
from the heart of Stockton. Had il been
blowing in the opposite direction there
is no doubt that Stockton would have
been burned out.
The people worked heroically to save
the property of Mr.. Houston and ada
cent property and Mr.. Houston desires
to thank all, especially the ladies'. The
loss to the Houston Company is about
So. 900, partially covered by insurance.
