Clan McGregOr Meets.

Virginia had a number of representa-
tives at a meeting in Washington on
Monday at which the American branch
of the Clan McGregOr was organized.
The organization of the McGregors,
Gregorys and Magruders into the Clan
McGregor marks the completion of a
movement conceived about a year ago
by DR.. J. Magruder Ewell, of Fuckers
vile, Va.
At the meeting in the National Hotel
Monday addresses were made by DR..
Ewell, C. c. Magruder, ST., of Anna
polls, and Caleb G. Magruder, of Wash
ington, who discussed "The McGregor
wills, of Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties.
Before the business meeting COM
munication was, read from Sir Malcolm
McGregor, the present head of the clan
expressing his approval on the move
ment to establish an American branch
and wishing the organization every
success
alexander Magruder and the Clan
MeGregor in America" was the sub
ject paper read by John Reed Magru-
der, of Annapolis, Monday evening.
The constitution and bylaws or the
society were formally drawn and adopt
ed Tuesday.
DR.. E. M. Magruder, of Charlottes-
Vile, called the meeting to order. He
reviewed the history of the Scottish
outlaw clan from the time of Robert
Bruce to the reign of George III. He
said there were several causes for the
troubles Of the McGregors, including
the jealousy of Rot cit Bruce and the
killing of three McGregors by a govern
ment forest inspector named Drum
mond.
The O. icct of the clan is to perpe-
tuate the name McGregor and to aid III
the tracing Of geaealogy.

The Maryland Tomato.

IT'S an i'll wind that blows nobody
good-a platitude, of course, but on'
that finds constant CORPORATION and SUI
port in the stern facts of existence
Consider, for instance, the recent drouth
1t turned the countryside into dusty
steppes and drove the farmers to pessi-
mism and agnosticism, but all the
while it was making the Maryland to-
mato perfect fruit When the cloud
leak copiously the tomato is apt tt
grow watery aud emaciated, but whel
rain is sparing it grows firm anc
nourishing. The tomatoes of the pre-
sent season arc the best known fol
years They are poor in water, but ex-
traordinarily ricL in foods!uffs.
The modern tomato, with its roun
rosy cheeks and sweet, cool heart, i
essentially Maryland product says the
Baltimore Sun" It's wild grandparen'
was known and esteemed by the NATIVE
Indians of the State as far back as t.
wear SOUG d. W. w uSH lHC "uitC oSt'
IL ers came they began TO improve upol
the aboriginal methods of cultivatins
it, and soon it was lifted from its origi-
nal state as lowly pot herb and p]ac-
ed among the heaven-sent delicatessen
Today the tomato asks nc odds of ar,
other fruit or vegetable. AS it is growI
upon the Eastern Shore it is as perfecl
as the grapes Of Calabria or the apples
of Hesperides. The most accomplished
tomatologists in the world have theiI
laboratories on the Shore.
T he present crop, elegantly incasec
in artistic cans, will go forth to all ths
world, spreading happiness from Pol
to Pole 1t will penetrate the jungle S
Africa and the pampas of Patagonia.
A year from now you will fnd,the dis
carded cans, rustiDg out their declining
days, in the ash bar els, back yards anC
remoter suburbs of Buenos Ayres, Mel
bourne and Budapest. Thus MARYLAND
feeds the world, emptying generously
her ccrnucopia of gastronomic delights
and raking the valuable sbekels of til.
exotic epicure.
