And call your attention to what the
results have been.
Five weddings have already taken

With q half dozen others joining in
the chase
It soon got in its work and showed be
was not mistaken,
For the FIRST to 60 down that route was
Miss Dakin.
Then tina, timid fellow, he offered for
the Askin.
A handsome lady stepped up. and
away went Baskin.
Then another who bad slruiied around
on the board.
The tide swept in. and that was the
last Of Jim Stanford.
So while the waters were stirred We
had them on the run.
The next to walk the plank was Miss
Harrington.
Then we looked down the pike, Oh i
terrible to tell
A pretty little Lyon had caught VIII
Bell.
And thus the roses taIl, they 90 one BY
one.
And your Uncle Eli is satisfied bis
work is well done.
Il you have troubles along this line,
I'll tell you where to go.
For have been compelled to open gp
a marriage bureau.

Why does Great Britain buy

Certainly It seems like carrying
Goals 20 Newcastle TO speak Of export
ing oatmeal TO Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds 81 thousands Of cases Of
Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain
and Europe.
The reason is simplet while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal Cd quantities and with
regularity that haT made them the
most rugged physically. and active

has been eating oamcal and trying all
the time g improve the methods Of

Changing Telegraph Line Costly

The Long Distance Telegraph line which
crosses the Susquehanna River above Nc
Call Ferry, has been compelled to raise its
line at that point. Before the backing Of
the water, caused by the building of the
big dam for the Pennsylvania Water and
Power Company, the telegraph company
had poles planted on an island. A high
concrete pillar, supporting steel frame
work to carry the many telegraph wires
at that point, has been erected little
farther up stream, and workmen are now
engaged in transferring the wires from
the old poles. which are submerged in
water almost to the crossarms. The steel
support is embedded distance of about
twelve feet in the concrete pillar, and il is
said the erection of this work cost the
telegraph company $4,000. All of the
material had to be taken from the Lam
caster county shore by boat. which made
it very expensive. Seventy-foor poles re-
place the old ones on the bank of the river
on this side. and are strongly braced to
Withstand the worst of storms. Quarry

To Close Up Bankruptcy Case.

It now looks as though there would
soon be something doing in the bank
ruptcy case of the Times Publishing Com
pany, of Oxford. which has been hanging
FIRE for so long. For over year the
money has been lying in the bank at West
Chester. drawing no interest and no dis
position has been made of the case. Hon.
T. X. Stubbs. who represents one of the
claimants, began making inquiry about
it and found that the affair was lying
dormant in the United States District
Court, because no action had been taken
to have it put on the argument list.
The question of the priority of the
various sets of bonds which had been
argued before the referee was still at
issue and the matter had been lying in the
District Court all this time. waiting for
some action on the part of those who took
out the appeal from the referees decision.
Mr.. Stubbs at once wrote to all parties in
terested in the matter and the case will
probably beput on the list at once. If
the referees decision is sustained the
holder of the first mortgage bonds will re-
ceive all the principal and interest in full
to the date of the dividend. This will
leave but little to be divided among the
remainder of the bondholders and other
creditors. Oxford Times.

Fraternal Orders To Participate
In Charities Conference.

The Sixth Maryland Conference of
Charities and Correction, which will meet
in Frederick, November II, IS and 10,
will witness new departure in confer
ences of this kind in the United States.
This conference will be participated in by
many citizens of the state, representing
fraternal and benevolent orders. Invita-
tons have been issued from the office OF
the general secretary, Mr.. H. Writ Steele.
of Baltimore, to ooI lodges throughout
the state, asking them to elect delegates
to the conference. Already many re-
sponded by electing delegates whose names
have been forwarded to to the general
secretary.
Following the custom of former years
of inviting the appointment of delegates
representing governmental agencies, III
mayors of cities and presidents Of boards OF
commissioners Of towns throughout the
state have been asked to send representa-
tives to the conference and itsis expected
more than half of them will respond, so
that the Frederick meeting will be in fact
a state conference, with representatives
from every county.
One of the questions which has never
been fully answered in Maryland and
which is constantly causing trouble to
those engaged in charitable and correc-
tional work involves the relation of the
child to the state. This relationship can
only be established by q very definite act
of the legislature, construed by wise and
humane judges, and such action can only
come after widespread and intelligent
discussion by the people of the state,
which it is proposed to inaugurate at a
general session of the conference on FRI
day morning, November 18th. at meet
ing of the Committee on Children, Of
which Mr.. George L. Jones of Baltimore,
is chairman. The discussion will be pre-
cipitated by an address by Mrs. Edith J.
Keene of Golden Hill, Talbot County,
Maryland. on the subject--"W When Should
the Custody of the Child Be Transferred
from Its Parents, and by Whom?" A dis
cussion of this address will be opened by
Hon. Arthur D. Willard. States Attorney
for Frederick county, and Judge Urner OF
Frederick.

This piling was placed in the river to
support the false work of the bridge and

Works to remain last winter and was a
great help, residents say, toward the
