Ace of Superiatives.

It is the age Of superlatives. Every
thing is either the biggest or the
smallest There is nothing just hall
way. It is either the biggest battle
ship in the world or the smallest Shet.
land pony. People are not content to
entertain their friends with simple
pleasures and pastimes as Of old, but
must have for them the most extrava.
giant weekend party ever held. To
say that a person is an average man
Is direct and biting slur. He must
be either the best or the worst. Moth.
ing is good any more; 1t must be the
best, the positive and the comparative
have been done away with. Home is
not good enough; one must be travel.

FEARS FOR FOOD FISH

Excessive fishing in former
years. the maze of nets which
prevent spawning fish from
reaching the fresh-water breed
ing grounds and the lack of CO.
operation by fishermen with
hatcheries have almost bestowed
the once great Chesapeake Bay
fisheries, according to an official
report issued June 18th by the De-
partment of Commerce.
The report is in the nature Of
a warning to the States of
Maryland and Virginia that
something must be done to save
the famous shad and herring of
the Chesapeake tributaries from
disappearing from the American
table.

Farmers Bed Not Of Roses

The farmers of this county are not
alone with their unfavorable looking
crops this year, as will be shown by
the following clipping from the Balti-
more County Union.
"This year seems destined to be un-
profitable for farmers in this county
| Probably the same conditions exist
over the whole eastern and middle
section of the country. Representative
farmers from various sections of this
county, Hartford, Cecil, Carroll and
Howard counties, have assured the
Union News that they do not know
of single crop that is up to the
standard.
Wheat, which came through the al
most snowless winter looking fine, has
sadly deteriorated since March. Here
and there fairly good field is seen,
but much of it will not make more
than two-t thirds of normal yield. The
straw and blades, as rule, are badly
rusted. With warmer weather and
showers the harvest will be somewhat
| earlier than usual.
Rye looks rather better than wheat,
but the yield will not be heavy. 1t is
| at best an unlmportant crop in this
| section.
The oat crop is suffering from the
same causes which have adversely af-
fected the other grains and the pres
ent outlook is very poor.
Corn is backward and uneven; much
replanting had to be done. but the
grrss and weeds grew while the corn
was standing still. 1t is yet too early
to make definite prediction but from
present prospects full crop would be
little short of miracle. Mr.. T. V.
Richardson of Phoenix reports that the
corn was slightly nipped by frost in
the Gunpowder Valley last week.
Hay will be short. Farmers say
that there is practically no clover and
the timothy is uneven, short and full
of weeds.
Fruit is a negative quantity this
year, few trees bearing anything at
all. Strawberries have yielded parti-
ally, some growers having fair crops
and others practically none. The ber-
ries everywhere are smaller than usual
because of the dry weather during
their formative period. If given :sea-
| sonable rains we may have fair pick
ings of raspberries and blackberries.
Potatoes seem to be doing moderately
well, although many fields were dam
aged by the May freeze. Like corn,
this crop has many dangers yet ahead
of it.
Gardens everywhere are poor, be-
cause of the unfavorable weather,
weeds being the most Furnishing crop.
The cause of this slump in farm
prospects is plain. After an early and
very promising opening to spring the
weather turned unseasonably cool and
dry, with freeze on May II and IL.
Then it changed to wet, remaining
cool, with, a sweltering day now and
then. Saturday, June 7, was day of
summer heat, but it Immediately turn
ed cold again, remaining dry. And our
farmers have the poor consolation of
knowing that unless crops are bad
everywhere they they will raise very
little and get low prices for that.

Advice for the AoIno,

go slowly and eat less" is the ad.
vice of DR.. William Osler to people
who have reached the zenith of their
lives and are going downhill. When
this period comes the blood pressure
rises. The tubing shows signs of
wear and tear and if too fast a pace
is kept up something may burst.
Some people are brought to their
senses only by an accident of this
sort, like the congressman who had
to almost die of angina before he
would give up habits that were kill
ing him. He reformed and became a
healthy man. But unfortunately when
a tire bursts or boiler head blows
out in the human body it is so likely
to prove fatal.

True Charity InrDenmark,

The Danish postmaster general has
devised an ingenious method of pro-
viding money for the education of the
blind. A copper coin, luck-penny,
is to be made in the royal mint, and
is to be sold to the parents of every
newborn child who has the gift Of
sight by the nurse attending the
mother Parents are to pay whatever
sum they think fit for the luck-penny,
which is worth only a halfpenny and
bears the device, "The child seeing
the light for the first time presents a
tribute to the child who will never
see"
