A negro farmer Of Alabama has
achieved an enviable reputation
throughout the south in a very simple
yet sensible fashion For several years
past he has simply carried out the plan
of raking all the vegetation that would
make humus produced on 100 acres
and used 1t on ten acres. In this way
he has made his corn and cotton fields
immensely fertile. 1t will be seen at a
glance that this plan may work for
years, but that in the end he will have
to supplement the fertility of that
ninety acres. even II 1t doesn't do any
thing more than produce weeds.
Professor N. r. Hanson of the South
Dakota agricultural college was sent
abroad last spring to secure seeds that
would be valuable for conditions met
with In that state. His search for val
liable seeds was made chiefly In ST.
IBERIA. which he had visited on earlier
trips. He returned from his trip re-

Philip Schell Badly Beaten.

Charles StraiIman. who is charged
with badly beating up Philip Schell. the
well known drayman, of this city, was
before Justice Dennis recently and
through his attorney. Mr.. D. Princeton
Buckley, was released on his own recog-
'nizance, pending the action OF the grand
jury.
1t is alleged that Schell on Sunday
morning drove two of his horses to a
field opposite the car barn on East Pat
rick street. and when about to leave
them pasturing in The field he was warn
ed by Strailman that the ground was
rented by himself and he said that Schell
could not pasture his horses in that field.
A battle of words quickly followed,
which soon developed into hand to-
hand fight. Strailman apparently got
the best Of Schell, judging from the lat.
ter's eye at court, and law suit fol-
lowed
The case will, in all probability, come
up during the September term of court.

Concerning Goats.

The prominent position occupied by
the scapegoat in the recent news calls at
tention to the fact that other members Of
the goat family are doing themselves
proud, likewise.
Particularly is this true of the Angora
that creature which looks like sheep
dressed in the skin OF an exaggerated
Persian cat. A dozen years ago there
were half a million of Angoras in the
United States. Now there are over
1850, 900, and race suicide has not vet
made IFS appearance among them. Mo-
hair-which appears to be the technical
name for goat heeces-is increasing in
price and popularity and through con.
siderable section of the great southwest
the Angora Is superseding the sheep
In behalf of the newer animal, it is
claimed that the goats are harder than
sheep, require less attention, live on
coarser food, are less subject to dis.
eases. produce more clothing material,
and make more meat Of quite as high a
quality as mutton. Perhaps these claims
need scaling down bit to come within
the bounds of scientific accuracy. but, at
any rate, the goat is multiplying and fast
spreading all over the land, and it is we'll
that this is true.

100000 Required For the
County Schools,

Approximately $500, 900, or to be more
exact, SIe6, 1000, will be required to con-
duct the public schools of Frederick
county for the next year, according to the
budget of school expenses prepared by
the School Board at its meeting on We'd
nesday, June grid. This is a gain OF
about $4,000 over the past year. al
though $1,000 of the increase is made
necessary by the increases IN the teach.
ers' salaries authorized by the last Leg
islature.
The School Board will ask the Board
of County Commissioners for $I2o. 600 to
be used for the schools, and the remain
der of the money will be received from
the State and from the other sources.
Under law, which was passed for
Frederick county, the School Board can
demand of Frederick county the sum of
thirty cents on each 500 of assessable
property for general school purposes and
seven for new buildings, or a total OF AZ
cents on each $Ioo. This would mean
about $4,000 for this year. In addi-
ton to the above amounts the county
must pay for the High Schools in the
county, which during the past year cost
about $4,000. The Board of County
Commissioners have asked that the
county charge tuition for the High School
students, but it is claimed that if this is
done the State appropriation for the
High Schools cannot be secured BY the
county, and that sc the county enforced
the tuition payment, it would lose more
from its State appropriation than it
would gain.
The School Board endorsed the plan
of the Frederick Young Mems Christian
Association tor night school next winter
The School Board will assist the Young

improvements For Mary n d
School.

The building of the Maryland School
for the Deaf will be given a complete
overhauling during the summer. That
was decided upon recently at the annual
meeting Of the Board of Visitors of the
school, The improvements will consist
largely of interior painting and changes
and repairs to the boiler and the boiler
room.
Because of the inability of the Board
of Visitors of the school to get the ap-
preparation Of about $4,000 at the last
session of the Maryland Legislature, it is
now out of the question to make the ex
tensive repairs to the school, such as the
construction of new industrial build
ing. 1t was decided that just rs extern
sive inlprovem ents as possible. consider
ing the funds in hand, would be made at
the school.
The year has been successful one for
the school. The efficient faculty offered
excellent reports at the meeting. The
members of the Board of Visitors also
went on record as commenting the
work of the school. They also voted
that the location of the school in Fred
erick was an ideal one, and that none
better in the State could be secured

The Effect Of Fear.

There was noticeable diminution OF
transatlantic travel after the Titanic dis.
aster. The effect of the sinking of the
Empress of Ireland is already apparent.
Reservations have been cancelled at the
offices ofmany ofthe lines 1t is impos-
sible to estimate how many intending
tourists have abandoned their plans.
Such results are natural. A careful pc
rusal Of the details of the Empress hor-
ror can not fail to have a lettering influ-
ence. Men and women picture them
selves in position similar to that of the
victims of the catastrophe. Apprehen.
sion and nervousness would seriously
mar the pleasure of their vacations.
They prefer some form of recreation free
from the specific peril which has SO I'M
pressed their imagination.
AT such times it is impossible to argue
effectively. 1t is useless to point out that
the great ocean liners offer the safest
form of travel. Even figures to prove
that railroad travel is far more danger
GUS and claims many more victims are
not convincing. The horror is upper
most in timid minds, and its effect cannot
be wiped away by mere logic. The ef-
feet, however, does not last long .-Cleye-
land Plain Dealer.

She Wanted to Know.

A party Of four just returning from a
theater called IN at fashionable restau-
rant. The prim spinster who was the
guest Of the evening was charmed with
everything, especially the music. While
the waiter was standing by the table she
asked him to find out the title of the
piece the orchestra was playing. The
willing waiter promised, but other duties
claimed him for awhile, and when he re-
turned the lady had completely forgotten
her request. When he bent toward her
and softly whispered something in her
ear, she recoiled with horror. Then. re-
covering from the shock. she turned with
cold, relentless. fury upon the hapless
man who waited. ''How dare you'll 1t
took the terrified waiter quite time to
explain why he had merely breathed the
title of the piece so softly: What Can
Do TO Make You Love Me?"

Big in Dull Times.

1t is easy to show by impressive fig
ures that the volume of commerce and
industry in the United States is immense,
even while BUSINESS men complain of dull
times 1t is not at all difficult to present
facts which prove that this country is
leading the world today in many branch
es of production and traffic. American
supremacy has become too well establish
ed to be lost in period Of unsatisfactory
business.
The trouble is not so much that the
country has lost ground as it is that there
has been no such advance as should
have been made 1t is not that traffic
and production have become small, but
that they ought to be much larger. In
some lines of industrial and commercial
activity there has been a disappointing
unnatural lack OF growth.
Nothing that is past can satisfy Amer
lean demands upon the future. What
has been done is never enough to meas
ure satisfactorily the business OF today
and business plans for tomorrow

improvements at the Agricultural
Park.

The Board of Managers of the Fred
erick County Agricultural Society met
on Saturday. June 9TH, to consider plans
for the erection of new main entrance
to the Fair Grounds. The board had
before it sketch made by Mr.. B. Evard
Kepner, architect, which after some mod
ifications, met with the approval of the
managers.
The entrance to be erected will be
building of attractive appearance. The
building will have an approx
innate frontage of sixty feet, and will be
thirty feet in depth. 1t will be a one
story building, twelve feet to the square,
with a wide, sweeping roof, covered
with stained shingles, and the sides will
also probably be shingled. The build
ing will contain on either side ticket Of
fees, and opposite TO the entrance will be
the turnstlle booths, pass and exit
gates.
TO the west of this building it is pro
posed to locate the carriage and automo-
bile entrances. These will be gates with
three stone columns. about fifteen feet
high. surmounted with orname tai caps.
Other Improvements necessltated by
these changes will be the construction OF
broad avenues from the entrance east
ward to the main exhibition buildings
This will be graded and covered with
crushed stone and along it will be laid
out space for privileges and side shows.
All of the cattle stalls on the south
side of the grounds have been torn
down and the work of erecting stalls
along the north and west side of the
land taken into the Fair Grounds is be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sibe.
