A CHURCH BUILDING HAS
BEEN MOVED $50 MILES
Chapel Taken From Mountains OF Gar
rett TO Baltimore County.

Baltimore, Nov 25.-It is not often
perhaps, that man builds church away
up among the mountains and then 25
years later move it 260 miles into big
city But that's the Job John A. Wolf
expects to mark finished" upon York
and Cedarcroft roads sometime about
Christmas eve.
He has moved from Corona, in Gar
rett county, IS miles west of Cumber-
land, to Cedarcroft, little community
on the way to TOWson by trolley from
Baltimore. a church which occupies a
lot something over 80 feet wide and 100
feet deep. The church has IN it So, 600
feet of lumber, and Mr.. Wolf has moved
every foot of lumber.
The pieces OF ash decorating the cell
ing and the ash beams which will run up
and down and across the heads of the
congregation at morning service and at
evening prayer are such pieces of lum-
Der as it is extremely hard to get in
these DAYS. says Mr.. Wolf, proudly.
The church in which Rev. Charles A.
Hensel, pastor of the Chapel of the Ma
tivity, will hold services will be put to-
gether so that it will be the little chapel
of the mountains reborn with hardly
feature changed.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago" said Mr..
Wolf, there was big sawmill at Bay
ard, in West Virginia, which is Just
across the Maryland line from Corona,
in Garrett county Mrs. McCulloh Brown
lived at Bayard and she thought the 200
workmen and their families who worked
in the sawmili ought to have church,
so she built this one. did the building
for her.
THE times changed and he timber up
in that neighbornood was exhausted.
There was no reason why the mill
should be there any more, and it shut
down and moved away. The men who
worked in it and their families follow ed
the mill Now there's nothing where
the sawmill was Mrs. Brown died.
There was no need for the church.
1t. stood There all lalone. McCulloh
Brown, Mrs. Browns son, who has a
big farm at Bayard, didn't like the idea
of the church being there and doing
nobody ANY good. He started out to
find somebody who needed church. |
understand that he got in touch with
Mr.. Hensel and that Mr.. Hensel said
he needed one here.
Then we took the church down
piece by piece and packed it on two.cars
of the Western Maryland Railway and
brought it down here. | expect to
finish putting it up again about De-
cember 25. It'll be exactly like it was
up .on the mountains except that in
stead sof there being only one arch
between sthe congregation and the
chancel there'l be three, two small
ones and large one. Its exterior will
be exactly the same"

GAS EXPLOSION NEARLY
WRECKS LARGE ENGINE.
At The Dixon & kelso FIGURING Mill
In Oakland LastsSaturdaY.

By the explosion of.accumulated gas
IN the exhaust pit'at the Dixon & KelsO
Touring mill. in Oakland.on:last Satur-
day afternoon, the engine room floor of
the. building.was torn up and three men
who were working about the engine
when the explosion occurred had narrow
escapes from serious injury.
The engine, which is operated by nat
ural gas failed to start when the ordi-
nary means were employed and the
warehouseman, Samuel Aronhalt, as
sisted by Charles Caughey and Gus Nay
Tor, attempted to manipulate the ma
chine. After a few revolutions of the
engine lit took hold but gas had been
forced into the exhaust chamber or pit,
a concrete covered receptacle beneath
the floor of the engine room. and when
the engine fired this accumulated gas
was exploded. A ton or more of con-
crete and brick was lifted into the air
when the gas let go, throwing all three
men off their feet and toward the re-
volying wheels of the engine. Mr..
| Aronhalt suffered a severe scalp wound
from having been thrown against the
side of the building, whilst Messrs.
Caughey and Naylor were badly shaken
up but not seriously injured.
Following the explosion the gas main
feeding the engine was set on fire but
this was distinguished as soon as the
flow of gas was turued off at the meter
within the building. Repairs were made
Immediately and the mill is again in OPP

I'M SHOT OFF BY A
CHARGE FROM HIS Gun.
Oscar Ashby, Aged Nineteen Years.
Nearly Lost His Life Friday.

Last FRIDAY afternoon Oscar Ashbv,
aged nineteen years. .son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Ashby of near Under
wood, met with a cunning accident
which will main him for life and which
came very near resulting in his death
through loss of blood and shock.
The young man up to a few weeks
ago, had been employed on the Crellin
mill where he met with slight accident
which necessitated him laying off for a
few days, On Tuesday he returned to
work on the mill, but finding that he
had not fully recovered his usual
strength he decided to go hunting on
Friday.
Shouldering his gun he went to the
mountain mile and a-half away to hunt
rabbits and pheasants, and after tramp
ing around for some hours he felt fatigu-
ed and placing the gun againts chest
nut log he leaned with his arm and
shoulder against the muzzle, when the
gun slipped down and striking against
the side of the log the charge was
fired, the entire Icontents of the gun
entering and tearing away the flesh
and bone of his upper left arm. In
this condition Mr.. Ashby walked and
ran through the woods and briars to-
ward his home, eventually falling into a
creek where he was found sby his
uncle, Mr.. James W. IAshby. who had
heard his cries for help
The injured man was assisted to his
home when Drs. Broadwater and
Hinebaugh were summoned, who
amputated the arm just below his
shoulder. He is doing nicely and his
family have hopes of a speedy re-
covery.

blight is forcing the cutting of this
material often before it is of proper
size, there is no reason why it should be
total loss to the owner. While there
is no good ground for predicting abate-

usual experience that some natural
enemy will appear sooner or later to
relieve situation ot.this. kind, and there
is some hope at least that chestnut may

STATE COLLEGE NOTES

Apples are not injurious to milk
COWS, provided we do not make
them a greater part of the ration.
Apples are made up largely of water
and consequently are not very nu-
tritious. But if limited amount of
apples, say up to one bushel day
IN conjunction with the dry ration
is fed, they would prove beneficial.
The value derived from apples would
be that OF adding variety and some
thing OF a succulent nature. 1t
would not be preferable to feed ap-
pies that are marketable, but wind
falls or apples for which there is
not a market, could be fed provided
they were not decayed.
To get rid of vermin and to keep
rid OF it are two different problems.
You can easily prevent vermin from
getting a good foothold in your
chicken houses. whereas it is some
times a task to rid the houses of
these pests once they are present. A
well lighted, we'll aired house, to-
gether with plenty of sunlight, will
prevent their getting a foothold.
There should be a good dust bath
provided. Also paint the under
side of the roosts and the inside of
the nest boxes with carbolinium or
zenolium once or twice a year. Dust
the fowls that are infested with the
vermin with Persian insect powder.
Give at least three applications about
a week apart. Do thorough work
in busting and you will have no
difficulty in Kidding your fowls of
the vermin that may be on them.
1t is good plan, in case your houses
are infested with vermin of any kind
to apply the whitewash as hot as
you can handle il.
1t would not be possible to SOW
Canada field peas in the spring
early enough to pillow them under
and later seed to some other crop.
Nor would it have awaited much to
