Fake Hog Cholera Cure

1t is reported that fakirs who have
been in various sections of MARYLAND
selling a spurious article as cure for
hog cholera, have invaded the Eastern
Shore. and. it is said that they swindled
farmers in several counties out of thou
sands of dollars. The United States
Department OF Agriculture states. and
all veterinarians everywhere agree with
the statement. that there is no cure for
hog cholera. and there is only one pre-
ventive so far discovered. and that is
a serum that was developed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and is now in use in every State
in the Union. Many of these States
have laboratories for making this serum
in order that the farmers may receive
it at cost or less. Farmers should not
be duped under these circumstances.

Grab Crop Worth 100000

After one of the most successful sea-
sons in the history of the industry. the
soft-shell crab season has about closed
at Crisfield. the greatest crab center in
the world. The season opened around
April Is. and although crabs have not
been quite as plentiful as in some other
years. the price has held up well. and
those engaged in the business there re-
port prosperous conditions.
The Crisfeld seafood dealers have
been making arrangements for the oys-
ter season for the last three weeks. and
the large number of shocking houses are
now at work.
The seafood business is Crisiield's
main industry. II is estimated that
Crisfield ships more than 80 per cent of
the entire crab output of the United
States, and large percentage of the
oyster output. Statistics gathered for
the year beginning September |, 1912,
and ending September |. 1918. reveal
the following interesting information:
During that year Crsfield shipped
3. 500. 900 dozen soft crabs. valued at
50. 400. 900: hard crabs. 10. 900. 600 valued
at $500, 600: oysters. $500. 600 bushels.
valued at $500. 600: clans. 30, 600. 600.
valued at $3.50. 900; canned sea food,
valued at 81, 100. 900.

DEMOCRATS HAIL
STATE NOMINEES
Notification Meeting Held In Bal
timOre, And Optimism
AbOundS.

Candidates on the State ticket of the
Democratic party were officially notified
Tuesday of their nomination in the pri-
maries on September :. They included:
Blair Lee for the United States
Senate.
Emerson c. Harrington for Comp
troller.
C. c. Magruder for Clerk of the Court
of Appeals.
The exercises were held at the Hotel
Rennert. Baltimore. in the presence Of
large number Of representative Dem
ocrats from every section Of Maryland.
Enthusiasm and optimism for the sue
cess of the ticket marked the gathering.
Prior to the notification ceremonies
Chairman Murray Vandiver called the
members Of the newly elected State
Central Committee together and made
ringing speech to them.
On the platform in addition to the
candidates and the gentlemen who nc
titled" them were seated number of
other Democrats, among them being
General Vandiver and Mayor Preston.
Former State Senator John Hubner
of Baltimore County made the speech
notifying Senator Lee of his nomination.
There was enthusiastic applause.
The Democratic platform adopted by
the State Convention expressly pledges
the candidate for the United States
Senate, if elected, to uphold the hands
of President Wilson and to cooperate
in eXpeditiously redeeming the platform
promises of the party. This plank IS in
response to the Presidents direct APP
peal to the people of the whole country
for support in carrying out the national
platform, and to which appeal the peo-
pie are responding with such impressive
unanimity as to place the Democratic
party today in the way of usefulness TO
the country. long of time and fruitful of
good. even greater than its memorable
service of the past.
Here in the State of Maryland. where
the three leading political parties have
presented their most recent platforms
for public consideration. our party pre-
sents the most genuinely progressive,
and at the same time the most conser-
vative Of them all. Consistent with the
promises and rich performances of re-
cent years. it adheres to lines of prog
ress already successfully undertaken,
but it leaves the door open to other
new measures which may be safely con-
sidercd when the details of each are
worked out and presented for public
discussion.
Our party program is thus both safe
and progressive. and it is the more GER
tain guarantee of progress because in
all human probability the party will be
placed in position to make good its
pledges.
The question presented to the people
of Maryland in our election this year is
whether the national policies of the
Democratic party shall be upheld,
whether the great verdict of last year
shall be ratified and confirmed. whether
we shall send to the Senate of the
United States Democrat from Mary
land to sustain the Democracy of the
nation in the great services of the peo-
pie upon which il has entered. Our
candidate for the United States Senate.
Blair Lee. is an able and distinguished
Democrat, full in accord with the poll
cies of his party. who will represent the
people of Maryland faithfully and well.
