The recent cen.u. gives Cecil couu

The recent census gives Cecil county a
population OF a3.75o, which shows de-
crease Of about 100 per year for the past
twenty years. The Baltimore News in
commenting upon this drain on Cecils
population wonders at the whyness of it
and ~ \ partial solution suggests it may
possibl, be on account OF the vast army
Of State and Federal Office holders sp-
pointed from this favored section of Mary

the News will admit that the army was
drafted from Cecil on account Of its

However, when Governor Crothers' back

ing Baltimore will be trying to annex
Cecil county to keep from being pushed
into the sseenth place of big hergs. For
when Cecil's fertile acres are titled to full
extent, and crops are being harvested
which bulge out every dent-the mann
moth crops of pumpkins and the bumper
