Westminster II; Thurmont Z.
In a slow, uninteresting game, the
home club lost to the Westminster club
at Westminster last Saturday. the score
being III. The fielding of both clubs
was anything but sensational. With the
exception of the second and last innings,
when our Johnnies hit for four and three
safeties, resulting in as many runs, the
hits came at inopportune times. Root,
who replaced Creeger in the sixth, pull
ed himself out of several tight places.
In the seventh after Cook singled, he
walked two men filling the sacks, but he
shut the gates and there was nothing
doing in the run getting.
Defeated at Emmitsburg.
With five regulars on in the lineup and
two of these playing out of position, the
home club met their second defeat at the
hands of the Emmitsburg club, Tuesday
afternoon. Creeger was hit freely but
with the team back of him played better
ball than in the Westminster game.

Va, just across the Maryland line,
ID miles distant from the cement
plant. This plant, which was put in
operation one year ago, is turning
out 26 different products, all OF which
are of special interest to the farmer.
1t Consists Of three modern gas burn
ing lime kilns Of the German type,
the largest in the world; one OF the
most up.to.date MIGRATING plants; a
stone crushing mill, which with its
three mammoth crushers and fine
grinding Fuller Mills has a daily ca
pacity of 5000 tons Of stone. ranging
in all sizes from the finely pulverized
material used largely for agricultural
purposes to the huge boulder that
taxes the strength Of one man.
An exhibit, displaying the pro-
duets Of the plant, had been arranged
which included all varieties of lime
and road building materials. Gov
ernor Crothers, displaying That deep
interest in the improvement OF the
roads of the State which he has man
Tested since the day Of his inaugural
ton, examined closely the road met
ais, from the screenings which the
leading road engineers have endorsed
as an essential top dressing for all
macadam roads, to the larger sized
humps of limestone, which when used
as the body of the road, cement and
form bed which not even the hard
trap rock can compare with.
The farming contingent listened
more uttentiyely to the explanations
of the manufacture of the lines and
the pulverizcd stone used SO largely
for agricultural purposes. The agri.
culturalhts were also deeply interest
ed in the process Of burning, a new
process which uses gas as fuel,
thereby eliminating the introduction
of cinders and impurities in the man
ufactured product.
This lime is made from the purest
limestone in the country, being on
the famous Martinsburg belt from
which, for years, the Pittsburg Steel
Mills have been furnished with tlux
stone. The lining of the solid with
burnt lime has long been known to
effect "swcetcning' of solids, which
have become "soured." Agricultural
experts have determined that the de-
crease OF the second crop of the same
cereal when rep 'ated upon the soil is
not due to lack of plant food in the
soil, but to toxic condition OF the
soil due to the sccretions of the vege-
tation.
In a brief address the Governor
complimented the members of the
Company upon their magnificent
plants, representing an outlay OF
81, 7OO,OO0.OO, and urged the public
to support the company which is
purely Maryland concern, the only
one of its kind in the State.
