THE CORN SPECIAL.
Report Of VIM. l.. AmOss, Director Of
Farmers Institute.

In letter to w. w. Wood agent Of
the B. o. r. r., containing a report
OF the corn special run April /, and
over that road between Baltimore
and Hagerstown, VIM. l.. Amoss, who
was in charge of the lectures, says.
In part
When we consider that farmers
are somewhat backward In their spring
work, and April ] and were such
days as the farmer likes to be In the
field, we should be satisfied with the
attendance at the stations wnere the
train stopped. Personally, with my
experiences In work among the farm
ers, | win consider the work well
worth doing, II ten out of the number
who visited the car at each station will
accept and use the advice given. for
from these ten that section will de-
rive great benefit. which should be

While Nathan Miller, farmer liy-
ing about mile southeast of Porter's
Siding, Monday, was trying to reach
across rapidly revolving circular
saw to remove splinter on log he
and others were saving into boards,
his left hand came in contact with the
saw and the forefnger was so badly
imangled that 1t had to be amputated
at the third joint. The thumb was
also badly lacerated but IL is thought
1t may be saved. A deep cut across
the palm of the hand was stitched and

DIR. I. H. Lewis, president, Westmin-
ster Free Library Association.
Dear Sir:--I have the honor to sub
init the following report of work done
since the opening of the library to Its
members and those vouched for by
its members In February 3, 1908:
The library has without doubt been
a great source of pleasure and profit
to its patrons and their families. AL
though our collection of books has
not been large and does not cover
a very wide range OF literature or
specialize on any one branch. the va
riety has been great enough TO enable
anyone seeking good. wholesome
reading matter to secure something
that would satisfy, entertain and bene-
Mt
We have noted with great satisfac-
ton the great number OF children who
are reading, not only reading occas-
ionally, but often one book or more
per week. This shows that the IL
brary Is filing a leng-felt want, enabl-
ing the young to cultivate a habit for
reading and taste for good liter
ature.
II has been the purpose OF the book
committee to purchase only such
books as we're clean and harmless. We
have tried to keep up TO the times by
purchasing from time to time copies
of the new and popular fiction, pro-
vided they have been on the market
long enough TO prove their merit.
Early in the year we were fortunate
In securing a donation of discarded
books from the Enoch Pratt Free Ii
brary of Baltimore. These books have
done us excellent service.
The cases OF books sent out by the
State Library Commission have also
been much appreciated. We have had
at least two of these cases at ell times,
each case containing about 40 vol
umes The average circulation OF
each has been 81.
The library has been conducted
without paid officers, clerks or rented
quarters. Every dollar collected as
membership fee or fine has been
used TO purchase new books or pay
the sundry expenses.
Tho room used by the Library AS
sociation has been loaned 10 II BY the
Country Club. which courtesy is great
ly appreciated by the association.
The librarian has been ably assisted
in his work by number OF young
gentlemen and ladies'

OUT OF HARNESS.

Here, lying in the grass,
Sweetly the moments pass,
About the clover bloom
The stillicidic boom
OF countless bees is heard,
While, overhead, bird,
Among the maple leaves,
A happy music weaves
OF tinkling notes, like bells
OF faery set aswing
In moonlit dells
OF spring.
Thesky, serenely blue,
Shows but cloud or two
Of white,
AS though the sea of light
Would bear little trace
OF foam upon it's face,
Some faint and fading ghost
OF storm from some far coast,
Where once, in darker guise,
Through livid skies
1t swept among its kind,
On driven by the wind;
But now, behold, how calm,
AS, drifting high,
1t drinks of balm,
AS |.
For |, within this sea
OF green immensely,
Seem also but cloud
Adrift beyond the crowd.
And so, where robins call
And grasses throng
With hum of song,
Forgetting one and all
The tempests known to men,
l grow serene again;
And yet within me feel
What Peace can never heal
The urge to thunderous roads
And my full share of loads
Therein,
One with the strife and din:
So take my ease awhile
And drink of strength, and smile
And feel my pulses burn
To think when I return
New ardor shall be mine
To face the lifted spear,
And life be then divine
AS now and here.
&C. G.. Blanden.

WORTH KNOWING.

Simple Remedy That Anyone Can
Prepare at Home.
Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remedy
that will break up cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable Is made
by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure and eight ounces of pure
Whisky. You can get these in any good
drug store AND easily mix them in a
large bottle. The mixture is highly
recommended by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil OF Pine compound
pure for dispensing.
