FIR Couatq Fair at Cambridge.

In the past five years Cambridge
has improved more than any 9TH
er city in Maryland. The princi-
pal streets have been paved. fine
stores have been built. several
handsome churches have been cree
ted, a fine Federal Postoffice Build
ing is coming soon, and there is
improvement everywhere. Visitors
come to Cambridge and arrange to
come again.
Dorchester county is great
county, and our people are just be-
ginning to realize it. We have fine
land, that produces fine crops of
all kinds. We have rivers and fine
transportation, and all good things
to eat. Some Dorchester farmers
took some farm exhibits to the
shows of the State Farm Exhibit,
held at Baltimore last November,
and out of eleven entries won ten
prizes.
The Dorchester tax assessable ba-
sis is double what it was three
years ago. Dorchester county is
getting. on the map.
A great many people believe
that a county Fair, held annually,
at Cambridge, will make money for
the men that put up the money to
get such Fairs, and will prove
events of much pleasure to our
people, and prove very beneficial
to our farmers and our merchants.
There is Fair Association at
Salisbury, and this is what they
write:
Salisbury, Md, Sept. 8, 1913.
Mr.. Vernon S. Bradley,
Sec. Cambridge Board of Trade.
Dear Sir:
We are in receipt of your favor
of the 5th inst, and in reply, beg
to advise that our first Fair was
held in 1909. We think it very
profitable investment for the stock
holders, as well as our town and
county, as the Fair brings lots of
strangers to our town who would
otherwise never come.
We have never paid less than 6
per cent. dividend.
If there is any other information
you desire along this line,we woul1
be glad to furnish you with same.
Very truly yours,
Wicomico Fair Association.
D. J. Ward, President.
If a Fair Is a good thing for
Salisbury, why Is it not the same
for Cambridge? Cambridge has
train service. fine water facilities,
and fine roads to serve the people
who will come. A Fair at Cam
bridge would bring thousands OF
people daily, through our county,
to the Fair grounds. This means
they will bring us money and see
how we are improving our county.
We should have the Fairs by
all means There is a widespread
sentiment throughout the county
for these Fairs, but something more
Is necessary. Money talks. 1t
takes money to buy grounds and
build tracks, and grandstands, and
exhibition halls, and stables.
). The Cambridge Board of Trade
and the Dorchester Oranges have
endorsed the proposition. and have
named committees to try to get the
Fairs. We viii get them If We can
sell 1000 shares of stock at ten
dollars each.
Farmers especially, and the Dor
chester public generally, are re-
quested to give this matter their
attention and talk 1t over with their
neighbors.

ton to the editor of this paper, OF

Wild Animals Killed.

Taylor, Tex.-G. Z. liking of Taylor,
who is a member of the Texas Sheep
and Goat Raisers' Association, is in
receipt of a statement from Secretary
b. l.. Crouch of San Antonio of the
number by counties of the different
kinds of wild animals killed and the
amount reimbursed by the state to
the counties under chapter 30 of the
acts of the regular session of the
thirty-second legislature, from Sep
TENDER /, 1912. to March II, 1913. The
report comes from the state controll-
er's office and covers 116 counties for
a period of six months. During that
time bounties were paid on 2,025 lobo,
gray and timber wolves, 24,740 coyotes
and 6,437 wild cats, for which the
sum of 1,O51.50 was paid by the
state and reimbursed to counties pay
ing the same. In other words, during
the six months 33,202 depredating ami
mails were killed, for which bounties
amounting to 31,051.5G were paid.

FLOOD VICTIMS EATING ACORNS FOR FOOD
Relief Needed for 200 Families and
500 Men, Women and Children on
Atchafalaya River in Louisiana.

New Orleans, LA representative
of Archbishop James II. Blenke was
dispatched with all possible haste
Wednesday to ascertain what rehef is
needed for about 200 families, in all
about 500 men, women and children,
driven from their little truck farms
and homes near Grande Pointe,
Breaux Bridge and Arnaudville, La,
by the rising waters of the Atcha-
falaya river The stricken district is
approximately 100 miles from New Or
leans. Frantic appeals for bread and
bread only for the starving hundreds
was sent by Father A. Blanc of
Grande Pointe to Archbishop Blenke
Tuesday night. Some of them are
eating acorns to stave off death by
starvation. Others, driven by hunger,
steal at the peril of their lives, il
the message of Father Blanc from
Grande Pointe.
II is probable that the New Orleans
relief committee, organized last year
during the floods, wifi be called upon
to give several hundred dollars of
reserve funds to provide food and
other relief for the victims of the
treacherous Northern Louisiana river.

In selecting rams the aim should be

For instance. ewes that have m open

be bred to rams that are strong on
those points. BY this method a very
uniform flock can be established in
a very few years. 1t is a good idea to
turn the ram with the ewes in the

The trip was by no means an easy
one and thrilling story of this long
journey through the air was told by
the two lientenants, who, though they
did not appear fatigued when they
landed, suffered somewhat from the
cold of the higher attitudes. Some
time after leaving a stiff souther(y
wind carried the machine ont of its

whose refusal to accept a short prison
term for minor offense led to the

ried out without change. While two
ministers, who have been unfaltering
in their loyaltyNto the condemned men,
were telling them goodbye, the prison
superintendent stepped into the cor

father and son and read the death
warrant. Floyd Allen, still limping
from the wounds he received in the
HiIisville court house battle, said the

went with the prison guards to the
