quality and quantity. Other grains that
have been harvested have done equal

Labor ls Scarce.

Labor 10 Scarce.
BRADSTREET,S, August IA lit
tie while ago we told of the paucity
of help in, such producing lines as
coke, iron and steel. textiles, and of
course on the farms also. But now
comes another Industry, lumber cut
ting and mill working, with q similar
plaints The lumber trade papers in
innate that scarcity of labor may
cause "a reelection in the cut of lum-
her, and the mills are also affected.
This branch of trade has been expe-
.riencing ia sharp revival in demand,
and in some instances night work is
deemed essential to keep abreast of
requirements But labor lis scarce all
oyeF.the country, stocks are light, and
with slight prospects of outputs in
9oreasing enough to cover demands,
prices will likely strengthen. Reduc-
led immigration to this country can
be held responsible for much sof the
shortages of which complaints are
made, and heavy losses from emigra-
,tion also enter as factors. But the
Immigration would probably be large
enough provided the respective units
were properly distributed. Thus. $685.
172 Immigrant aliens came into the
country, during the twelve months
ended June 80, 1912. but of this num-
Der 239,275 were destined for New
York. l09.479 for Pennsylvania and
67I1S for Illinois.
But it must be allowed that q smart
advance in trade following COMPARE
lively lean period makes the short
supply of labor seem conspicuous.
Other countries are drawing on our
supplies, and during the quiet spell
we experienced, following October,
1907. many. aliens departed for their
native places in order to eyade the
high prices prevalent here. Whatever
the cause. there lis asshortage of in

might profitably be employed on a
larger scale as domestic servants.

Food of Our More Important
Flycatchers

In bulletin recently issued by the
Department of Agriculture, a phase of
the work of the Bureau of Biological
Survey, as developed under Secretary
Wilson, is brought prominently to the
attention of those interested in the
economic value of birds. In this bulle-
tin, which is No. A, of the Biological
Survey series, the traits of the family
commonly known as fycatchers are
shown and the results of a study of the
food of the birds given to the public.
The contents Of 1898 stomacks are re-
ported upon, showing an average of
"a. SO per cent of animal food and sol
per cent vegetable, the animal food
consisting of insects, almost exclusively
of harmful species. Attention is also
call ed to the fact that the fycatchers
as a rule attack large predaceous birds
and are thus a protection for the poul-
try yard against such winged enemies
as hawks and crows. Of the seventeen
species reported upon, the habits of
each are briefly described and insects
preyed upon, as revealed by the stom-
ach contents, are listed.

Drowned Near COllington

Mr.. Charles Gentle, of Highland
town, was drowned in the lake on the
farm of Mr.. William Woodward, near
Collington, Oh Friday last.
He was visiting at the home of Mr..
Baldwin, manager of the estate and it
was while rowing with Mr.. William
Baldwin and his sister, Miss Baldwin,
children of the manager, that the canoe
upset and threw them into the water.
With great difficulty, Mr.. Baldwin res
cued his sister, who was screaming for
help, and before he could get to Mr..
Gentle he had sunk for the last time.
Coroner White, of Bowie, after max
ing an. investigation rendered certi-
ficate of accidental drowning and deem
ed an inquest unnecessary.
The body was sent to Baltimore Sat,
urday evening and the funeral was held
Sunday morning from St. Leo's Cath
olic Church, Highlandtown.

Hicks For August

More warm weather, marked by
stormy conditions, which is a natural
sequence at this season of the year, is
promised by Prophet Irl R. Hicks in
his forecast for August. He says that
we will have great warmth, lightning,
thunder, wind, rain, violent gusts and
gales; there will also be some hail,
probably some cloud bursts; and if
there are any more dire calamities to
favor US with their visitation the pro-
phet does not as much as hint at their
coming. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof. He says that it will
be unseasonably cool, which should be
sufficient warning for the housewife to
get winter blankets in readiness, al
though said chilly atmospheric condi-
tons are only promised for brief re-
spite.
| Then we are to have a reactionary
storm period extending from the 9TH to
the 9th, which will bring with it
probable violence, although the rain
| fall will not prove copious and general
as needed. From the 9th to the 18th
we are to have respite from heat.
''The Moon is new and in perigee on
the 18th, and on the 18TH" prophesies
Rev. Mr.. Hicks, which will give us a
regular storm period, with destructive
hail northward. This storm, says the
prophet. will give West India storms,
hurricanes and tidal waves in the gull
and south coast regions; but as these
are so far from base natives in the
North need not worry their ''noggins'
about their performances, as far as
personal violence goes. When Rev.
Mr.. Hicks hands us one in saying that
possibly we will have frosts in the North
he's going some. He also comforts us
with the prediction that Seismic pc,
riod-one that will be heard from-in-
wolves the 9th to 18th. central on the
18th. Watch and see
More stormy days are to be our por.
ton from the 18th to the Goth, follow.
ed by cooler weather about the 23d.
The month will wind up with regu-
lar old stormy spree, Rev. Mr.. Hicks
says. We give his exact words, SO there
will be no comeback:
"a regular storm period covers the
23d to 9th, central on the oath. Moon
in apogee on the 25th, BE on the watch
for equinoctial storms in the South
Very low barometer will warn of dan
ger at this period, with best indications
for general rains. Another seismic per.
iod involves the oath to the Both, cen
tering on the 9th. The general dis.
turbances at this time promise to be
aggravated and prolonged into the Re
dictionary Storm Period, central on the
10Th, Both and 31st. The Moon passes
over the celestial equator on the 18th
near its full. The autumnal equinox Of
the Earth will also bear heavily on the
period, the Jupiter, the Venus and the
Mercury periods adding their forces tt
the strong combination, and so on ane
SO on.

Boom In Tobacco Market

The leaf tobacco market has been
quite active of steady buying by repre-
sentatives of the French Government,
who are again in the market. These
buyers spent some time in the West
looking over conditions in Ohio and in
Kentucky, from which States they also
get supply. They returned to Balti-
more last week.
The demand from France has strength
ened prices. 1t is not unusual for these
buyers and others who compete with
them to pay ID cents pound for the
good leafy Maryland tobacco. This is
about the top price so far this year,
though some leaf tobacco dealers say
it is rare that any part of the Mary
land crop brings higher figures.
1t is said that the American Tobacco
Company is also competing in this mar
ket for stock.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

whole system when entering it through
