FRITZTOWN.
Husband SNeares He Keeps Wife In
Luxury On $3.50 "A Month.

Intermarriage Of uncles and nieces
and marriages within the prohibited
degree of consanguinity, abounds in
Fr1tztown, Frederick county, accord
ing to Deputy Sheriff r. l. Frizzell.
The officers of the county have had
much trouble with a certain element
in that little community. 1t is the
town where husbands swear that they
are able to support their wives in
comfort on $3.50 per month.
Fritztown is just On the border line
OF Frederick and Carroll counties.
Deputy Sheriff Frizzell went there to
arrest Goldie Wilson, who is now in
Frederick Jail, and who admits she
married her uncle.
The girl has been before the magis-
trates OF the county several times.
About six months ago she had her
husband arrested on charge Of non
support. The husband declared that
he was willing to support his wife,
but she would not live with him. The
wife flung back that the husband did
not support her, and when the jus
tice or the peace asked how much
the husband was able to earn for the
support of his wife he got this re-
sponse: 'I can earn $3.50 month and
keep my wife in luxury"
There was furry or astonishment
in the courtroom when the man said
this, and when the excitement con-
tinued the husband looked about him
inquiringly, as if il was a common
thing for the husband to support "a
wife On $3.50.

AUSTRIA AND SERVIA
AT WAR
GERMANY DECLINES TO JOIN CONFER
ENCE FOR PEACE; WOULD HELP
MOVEMENT TO LOCALIzE THE CON-
FLICT ARMIES AND NAYIES OF
EUROPE HELD FOR ACTION BIG
BATTLE REPORTED.

Vienna, July 2S.-Official notifca-
ton of the declaration or war was
sent to Servia today by the Austro-
Hungarian Government.
The Imperial Austro-Hungarian
Fore1gn Office declared that even
should Servia now comply with the
demands contained in the Austrian
note the Government Of the dual
monarchy would not be satisfied.
Nfsh, Servia, July 28.-The Servian
steamers Deligrad and Morava were
seized today at Orsova ON the Danube
by Austrians. The Servian colors
were hauled down and the Austrian
flag hoisted. The passengers were
detained.
Announcement Of the declaration of
war by Austria-Hungary on Servia
came to London July 2S almost i'm
mediately after Germany and Austria
had notified Sir Edward Grey, the
British Foreign Minister, of their re-
fusal to Join in a mediation confer
ence.
1t Is assumed here that the efforts
OF the European nations will now be
directed toward localizing the area of
hostilities.
Reports Of the rapid movement or
Austro-Hungarian troops and the
persistent downward trend Of Euro
pean stock markets were other out
standing developments of the Euro
pean situation.
Preparations for war proceeded On
All sides. Even England's battle
squadrons have all been modified in
readiness for eventualities and the
publication of official news as to the
movements of British warships has
ceased.
The first and second battle SQUAD
rons have taken on their full war
stores and are ready to slip their
anchors at a moments notice. The
destroyer fotillas around the coast
also have been prepared and armed
guards were placed today around all
the magazines and oil depots.
Germany's definite decision against
participation in the ambassadorial
conference proposed by Sir Edward
Grey, the--British Foreign Secretary,
ln an effort to maintain peace ID re-
garded here as tantamount To a dec
laratlon Of Germany's determination
that Austria-Hungary shall have an
entirely free hand in chastising Ser
via.

DEMAND FOR ORCHARDISTS.

FRAINED orchardists are in great
4 demand in Oregon and in Other
states. OF 81 graduates of hor-
ticulture at the Agricultural College
last year five are members of the
0. A. C. staff, one is assistant at the
Southern Oregon Experiment Sta
tion, two are instructors in Eastern
universities, one is school landscape
gardener of Alameda County, Cali
fornia, four are managers of depart
ments in large commercial orchards
three are graduate students at o. A.
c., two are managers of the home
orchards, and three are owners of
large orchard and garden tracts. AL
though attractive salaried positions
were offered most of the graduates
not thus employed, the positions
were declined in the belief that fur
ther study or working for them
selves is more profitable than work
ing for salaries.

FINDING NUMBER OF TONS OF
HAY IN THE STACK.
4 COOPERATIVE effort to secure
4 more profitable farm organiza-
ton and farm markets is he

e UBTRACT the width from the
~ distance over the stack, found
by measuring from the ground
on one side over the stack down to
tne ground on the other side, divide
by two, and multiply by the width
and then by the length, which will
give the number of cubic feet. To
find the number of tons, divide bv
5l2, If the stack has stood 20 days
or less, by 422 if between 20 and
20 days, and by $50, If more than
6o days. This is a fairly accurate
rule" says Dean ]. A. Bexell, in the
oregon Agricultural College text on
Farm Accounting and Business
Methods" A more nearly accurate
method is given as follows:
Subtract the width from the
over" as above defined; divide by
the height, then multiply successive
ly by the over, the width, the length,
and .225. This will give the num-
Der of cubic feet, and the number of
tons may be found as above.
The former rule is not only very
easily applied, but the reasons for
each operation will doubtless be
clear to all who give the subject any
thought. 1t is plain that in measur-
ing from the ground on one side of
the stack up, and across and down
to the ground on the other side that
all measurements taken were either
distances up, down, or across. By
subtracting the width, the remain
ing distances are either up or down.
Since these were equal, dividing by
two gives the distance up, or the
height of the stack. The volume has
been reduced to a very nearly equi-
valent volume having regular dimen-
sions, in which the cubic contents
are found by multiplying together
the length, breadth and height. The
small inaccuracy arises from the fact
that near the top Of the stack the
measuring string cuts the corners.
causing the degree of error to vary
slightly with the shape of the stack.
Ordinarily it may be disregarded
with no injustice to either buyer or
seller:
