ing The team stood on the street fol
some time and parties recognized the

CARE FOR YOUR TIRES.

Within the next four weeks thou
sands of motorists in all parts of the
country will be laying up their cars
for the winter. Hundreds of these
cars are equipped with good tires,
which if properly taken care of dur
ing the cold months will be in SER
viceable condition next spring.
In laying up a car the tires should
he removed from the rims and wash
ed thoroughly with soap and water.
They should then be carefully wrap
ped in strips of paper or cloth and
stored in dark place which is kept
as nearly as possible at a temperature
of so degrees.
II the tires are to remain on the
wheels for a considerable length of
time while the car is out of service
the wheels should be lacked up and
only about five pounds of air left in
each tire. This keeps the tubes in

Rush Work on w. NJ.

For some time past, at the present
time and for some time to come, work
on the Western Maryland Railroad has
been and will be plentiful. This has been
brought about by the extension of the
old road into new territory and its con-
nection with other roads running west.
To meet traffic demands almost every
bridge on the old lines must be renewed
or strengthened and thousands of new
ties put down.
On Sunday last Mr.. Frank Dotterer,
in charge of 80 men of the bridge car
penters department., prepared about two
hundred ties for five bridges. These
were loaded Monday and shipped to the
various bridges to be put in place Tues
day. 1t is expected that this week Mr.
Dotterer will receive orders to prepare
ties for the iron bridge west of town
next Sunday. The work will be done in
the new yards at this place just east of
the -four mill.

A CHANCE FOR THE BOYS.

One of the largest and best of our
native fruits has never received the
attention that il merits. This is the
wild pawpaw (Asimina triloba) which
j. found along rivers and small
streams in many sections of the east
ern and central states. The fruits
vary greatly in size and quality and
are produced singly or in clusters on
small bushes. The characteristic
flavor of the fruit is not rrliShed 10y
some but many persons are very fond
of the well ripened fruit.
The State Experiment Station is
attempting to improve the pawpaw
by collecting seeds and plants of the
best wild sorts. In order to enlist
the cooperation of persons acquainted
with desirable types the Horticultural
Department has arranged with the
State Horticultural Society to offer Il
prize of So for the largest and best
specimen exhibited at the annual
meeting at the Fifth Regiment Arm
ory in Baltimore, Nov. 1928. A
second prize Of So will be given for
the next best specimen. This offers
an opportunity to any boy in the
State to win a substantial premium
and at the same time help in the i'm
provement of neglected fruit. Spec
linens should be securely packed to-
gether with the name and address of
the sender and forwarded to w. r.
Ballard, State Experiment Station,
College Park, Maryland.

MOTTER BOOM LAUNCHED.

Friends of Judge John c. Motter,
whose term as associate Judge OF the
Sixth Judicial Circuit of Maryland is

if Judge Motter will allow his name
to be used.

the roundabout process of commerce sold
to the consumer at about $l3, 600, 900, 900.
