 Everett Clark. the genial agent of the Alaska teamship Company. k not playing ball any more Everett thought he would slide home from third base and the batter believing he coulnd't i slide far enough placed the bat where he could roll home over it.

 Judge Rodey. sure has a voice that will carry long distance. one could hear him without any effort yesterday. But as one fellow remarked down in New Mexico they only make one or two speeches in county and that has to he loud enough to cover that diviS- ion of the state and the counties are rather large down in New Mexico. so the judge had lots of good training in his younger days.
 Many people are taking advantage of these beautiful sunny days to go ont into the hills to pick the sweet little Alpine forget me-nots that grow in great profusiOn out in certain sections of the tundra All one needs k a mosquito nct for the pesky little hun- gry "augurs" are there with the dia mond drill this summer.

DROWNING ACCIDENT
Two Members OF Camping Party
Meet Death In Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal.

Run down by steam packet while
rowing along the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Canal, between Lorewood Grove
and St Georges, late Monday night. John
Mcfarland aged FL Iyears, of Philadelphia
and Daniel A. Barr, aged 20 years. of
North Philadelphia, were drowned, and
John T. Ryan, of Philadelphia. narrowly
escaped similar fate. The three young
men, members of camping party along
the canal. were rowing toward Lorewood
Grove. when steam packet approached
and before they could gettheir boat to the
shore it was run down.
Mcfarland and Barr jumped out when
the packet struck the rovboat. Ryan re-
mained in the smallcr 1t was pushed
ashore and he stepped upon the bank un-
injured. The other two were drowned,
probably dragged under by the suction
and killed by the propeller wheel. Ryan
says he believes they would have escaped
unhnrt if they had remained in the boat
with him. Ryan gave the alarm and the
bodies of the unfortunate young men were
recovered

A Worthless Land Story.

Several years ago Canadian who had
strayed down to the lower end of Della
ware purchased large area of so-called
irredeemable swamp lands at very low
price, as the owners and pretty much
everybody else in Sussex county had re-
garded the lands as worthless. These
swamps contained cypress and other
valuable lumber trees, which. because of
the bogginess of the ground, the native
owners believed could not be marketed,
The Canadian found way to pull the
tree trunks out to point where they
could be sawed and shipped, and he
lands at large profit. Now he has set
about draining the lands. with the pur-
pose in view of adapting them to celery
growing on the mammoth scale.
The story has at least two morals, and
may be several more. One moral is that
the man who owns some acres of So
called worthless lands, whether they be
located in Delaware, Maryland or any
where else, will do well to stay awake a
few nights and do some hard thinking
concerning whether or not those waste
lands may not really be very valuable.
Lands that will not grow wheat will
sometimes grow rice. and it may happen
that where strawberries will not thrive
cranberries will. The second moral of
this story is that it quite frequently re-
quires wise man from outside to show a
community what to do next The lesson,
npon the whole, is that almost ievery sec
tion has undeveloped wealth resources.
Those Maryland farmers 4ho read
fanciful stories about growing ies out in
Arizona or onions down in Texas, and
believe them, need to have some Austling
outsider come into their community and
show them few things. s.-Murlock

Autoists In Campaign.

The Automobile Club of Maryland is
asking auto owners to abandon party afil-
iations and support the cause Of those
candidates who can be relied upon to help
make laws favorable to the motorists.
Secretary H. M. Luzius in his letter to
fellow motorcar owners says:
We propose to conduct statewide cam
paiyn.
Firstly ascertaining the attitude of all
candidates for office at the coming fall elec-
tion. These letters have been mailed.
Second-We purpose to work for all those
who will pledge themselves in favor Of the re-
peal of personal taxes, the requirement Of
lights and reciprocal relations with other
states, and to oppose those who will not.
Third-We want every automobilist If need
be, to forsake party Affiliations for the time,
in order to make our power and influence felt.
Fourth-We purpose to follow the situation
carefully during the session Of the legislature.
Are you with us? We can serve you If you
will stand by u.s. Will you2
This is a nonpartisan movement, with no
other object than the common good of the
automobilist.
The club has sent a. letter to all the
candidates in the state of both political
parties asking that they at once state their
position in regard to proposed automobile
legislation.

APPOINTMENT HELD UP.
Held Celebration And MAY Lose
Appointment.

A Washington despatch in Mondays s
papers reports that an appointment said
to have been held up because the APP
pointee became too joyful when he re-
ceived word that he had been appointed
by the President as postmaster at Newark,
Del, is giving Robert L. Armstrong time
to repent at leisure. and his $4,000 job
never seemed SO far away as it does at
this minute.
Armstrong was appointed by the Presi-
dent on the request of Senator dupont and
Representative Heald. His nomination
went to the Senate along with score or
more of others, three weeks ago. When
the Senate took them up in executive
there was a conference on that of
Armstrong, and it was withheld.
Someone had informed several Senators
that when Armstrong was informed of
his nomination he drove to Glasgow, near
Newark, to celebrate his success with rel
atives and friends. 1t was charged that
at IIA5 o'clock that night the new ap-
pointee made the welkin ring in that quiet
town and horri6ed the staid residents by
driving through town, yelling at the top
of his voice.
1t is intimated that the hold-up of the
nomination was due to the action of
Zachary Harriss. postmaster at Glasgow.
At any rate. Armstrong will view his job
from distance, for time at least. 1t is
not likely the President will give him a
recess appointment after the Senate ad-
journs, unless Senator dupont urges such
action upon his return from Europe. the
latter part of September.

Anthrax In Delaware.

Anthrax has been discovered on the
farm of Harry Clark. near Dover. Del,
were two mules died with the disease, and
on the farm of ]. ]. Coverdale, in the
same locality. where two cows died from
it. In 1904 anthrax broke out on the
Clark farm. The Delaware State law re-
quires that all carcasses of animals dying
of anthrax, be either burned or buried
seven feet deep.
A good burningis preferable to good
burying job, the State says, but almost
anything is preferable to bad burning.
where the blood or other fluids, infected
with millions of anthrax germs. flows
about, free of the flames
The State pays eight dollars for burn
ing and four dollars for burial, but in
sists upon burial. with barrel of quick
lime, where the burning cannot be pro-
perly done.

HAVOC BY STORM.
Wind And Lightning Cause Damage
In Upper Section Of County.
BARN BURNED NEAR LOMBARD.

The frequent storms that have swept
over this section during the past several
weeks have been of unusual severity, and
those on Thursday afternoon and night of
last week were of this nature, leaving
much damage in their wake. The heavy
rains washed roads and newly plowed
fields badly. while the high wind played
havoc with corn fields and trees. Grow
ing corn suffered greatly, being blown
down and broken off, while numerous
trees were uprooted or stripped of some of
their limbs. Orchards also suffered, the
green fruit being blown from the branches
and many of the trees blown down or
badly broken. Lightning contributed its
share, bolts striking trees and doing
other serious damage.
On the farm of Samuel R. Haines, near
town, the wind mill was wrecked by the
wind
Lightning struck wire fence on the
farm of Jefferson Haines and caused
the death of fine COW that was standing
close to it. The large silo on the farm
was blown over and completely wrecked
Six trees on the Lincoln farm, tenanted
by James McCush, were uprooted or
broken off.
A tree standing close to the dwelling of
/. Wayne Reynolds. in the same locality,
was splintered by bolt of lightning.
The small barn on the farm of Thomas
Taylor, near Lombard, Cecil county,
was struck by lightning and burned,
together with contents.
The dwelling of Harry Taylor, in the
same locality. was Struck and one of the
chimneys knocked off the roof.
Harry McCleary. of Chrome, had one
COW killed by lightning and another one
stunned.

maryland Week.

Arrangements are rapidly progressing for
the Maryland Week. exposition to be held in
the 5th Regiment Armory December 4th- 9th
under the auspices of the Maryland Horticul-
tural Society, the Cereal g. Forage Crop Breed
ers' Association, the Maryland State Dairy
mems Association and the Maryland Bee
Keepers Association. The eannualmeetings of
these associations, as well as those of the
Maryland State Grange and the Maryland
Farmers League, will be held at the same
time in the Arrnory.
Already the indications are that the exhibits
of all products of the farm, the dairy, etc.,
will exceed any before shown in Maryland
along this line. There is nothing better than
Maryland wheat and corn, its fine varieties Of
apples, peaches. pears and other fruit. its
vegetables, it's dairy products, its flowers and
ornamental plants, etc.
Besides the beauty and attractiveness of the
exhibit, it will be highly educational for the
farmer, fruit grower and others. The time for
holding the exposition is believed to be best
suited for the country and city people to join
together and exchange ideas on the growing
of crops and the best way to market them,
and to become closer linked socially.
More than s., 600 in prizes will be awarded to
the farmers, fruit growers, florists, dairymen

The Greater Baltimore Committee and other
business men of this city are actively co-opera-
ting and have helped the management Of the
different associations in making much more
attractive premium list than ever before.
Prof. Thomas B. Symons, Secretary Treas
urer, of the Maryland State horticultural
Society, is working necessarily for the success
of the show, because he fully realizes what q
great opportunity it offers to show the won
derful progress Maryland is making in agri-
cultural and other lines. In a recent confer
ence Prof. Symons had with Edwin L.. Quarles,
Director of the Greater Baltimore Committee,
it was decided to spare no effort to make the
exposition such that it will attract every indi.
vidual in the State to see it. The idea is to
make it banner week in the State for the
promotion of agriculture in all its lines and to
demonstrate the great possibilities that Mary
land holds out for future development
