Go To Court Mr.. LeGore.

Mr.. LeGore has Haunted in the face
of the people of Frederick county,
that if he could not get fair play at
the Legislature, he would resort to
the courts to compel" the County
Commissioners to take his bridge.
His highly paid attorney, Mr.. Isaac
Lobe Straus, in his very long argu-
ment and opinion circulated widely
in Frederick county last fall, lays
stress on the fact that the LeGore
Bridge act of 1904 is mandatory;
that the County Commissioners must
take this bridge; that they have no
discretion in the matter, etc; and
then he proceeds to cite whole
library of authorities in support OF
his contention.
Very good, take it to the courts.
We might as well get through with
the matter as it is ve:y sore spot on
the taxpaying body. Take it to the
courts Mr.. LeGore, surely justice will
be done to you there, even though
you do express a certain kind of ten
der-heartedness for the poor taxpay-
ers, concerning the expense of litiga-
ton. They will take this additional
burden, SO don't you worry about
that. We dare you to take the mat
ter to the courts.

Exit LeGore Bridge.

We are most happy to note that
the IeGore Bridge Bill has at last
made its exist from the Legislative
stage, assisted with most vigorous
kick" by the Senate. The sincere
thanks of the citizens and taxpayers
of the county are due to all those who
contributed in any way towards the
defeat of this malodorous piece OF
legislation.
The Delegates who 50 nobly fought
this Bill in the House against over
whelming odds and corrupt lobby
headed by the most INSCRIPTIONS
politicians of the State, deserve great
praise for they had to 60 up against
the Speaker of the House, who to a
shameful degree aided in every way h'
could in ramming this Bill through
against the protest of Frederick coun-
ty. Well done, Delegates Nelson,
Bussard, Brust and Belt.
What of Eugene A. Wachter, the
lone LeGore satellite from Frederick
county, who made himself most con
spicuous in his efforts to pass this
righteous CD Bill?
Words fail us in an endeavor to
say what should be said about Wach-
ter. The caustic would eat holes in
the paper if we said what we should.
Needless to say he deserves what a
host of righteously indignant citizens
of Frederick county will do to him,
if he should ever stick his head above
the political horizon of Frederick
county again.
Nobly done, Senator Matthias. We
are proud of the way you led the
forces that resulted in almost unan-
imous vote against the Bill. The
warmth with which your fellow citi-
zens will greet you on your return
will indicate their approval better
than anything we can say in print.

Business Sense In Farming
BY Karl IIangenbeck.

The farmer is wholesale producer
like the manufacturer. To succeed
in business, he must be guided by
his principles. A manufacturer does
not try to run a plant that is too
large for his capital or his energies.
If he has one that he finds too big
for these, he rents out part OF his
building and his power. He saves
his strength and gains time for better
supervision. He concentrates and
most farmers should do the same.
But, few of them feel they can cut
down their acreage; the crops, the
animal and milk yields are none too

dig as it is. That is true, but one
and one-half times the labor now.put
on twenty five acres and half the
money value of such labor put into
the one chemical that improves soil
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS make them
produce as much as seventy acres as
ordinarily cultivated. In other words,
two-thirds the cost of working the
present average farm will get the pro-
duce out of one that is one third the
size. Less pay for help, reduced
taxes and more energy to tend stock,
repair fences, tools and buildings
will make the concentration pay.
A well worked farm, no matter
how small, increases mans reputa.
ton and reputation means credit.
Like everything else, credit improves
with use. 1t is hard for any man to
get his first loan. 1t is easier after
he has paid the first one promptly.
No manufacturer and no farmer can
get along who does not make and us"
credit. 1t is the bankers business
to find money and loan it to him to
work with. But, in making loans,
he sizes up the man as we'll as the
security. He prefers a tidy, produc-
tive property and man with the
sense not to wear himself out.
Even poor land has much fertility
locked up in it. BY working only IL
sufficient part, which responds best
to work, and aiding the work chemi-
cally with the fertility developer
lime-you concentrate your ''plant."
Let the rest of the land 60, rent it or
sell it off. If manure is insufficient,
you must make nitrogen and humuS
in the soil with the use of legumes or
clover. But, the man who sows
clover seed at So to SO a bushcl,
without lining, throws away his
money. Every farmer knows this,
or should know it by now, but too
few do it. 1t is useful to help out
with phosphates and potash when
tillage and reasonable lining do not
develop enough in the soil for good
crop. But, buying all the crops
needs of these is eXtravagant waste.
The man who makes the excuse that
the season is wet and late, labor
scarce, and that there is no time to
spread lime now, hut will leave it for
next year, and for this attempts TO-
improve fertility with a useless fcrtl-
izer, gives way to the worst habit.
There will be just as many reasons
next year for avoiding the trouble
some" but necessary job of lining.
The man who feels that he cannot
afford to buy lime or 60 into debt for
it, withholds the soil improver that
lasts, that maintains fertility. A
lime debt is a good debt. Every well
informed rural banker knows that a
farm worked regularly to maintain
its fertility, and not to get an excep-
tional bumper crop sacrificing future
productiveness, is the safest collateral.
Money borrowed for labor and lime
is good soil investment for their
efforts beyond the season.

New York, July 6.-Louise Berger

Yesterday were murdered. She made
this statement as she was being taken
from the morgue where she had iden-
titled Berg's body, to police station
for further questioning.
Those boys were murdered, /
know they were,' she, said. Some
body sent or brought that machine
that killed them all. 1t was an un.
necessary murder. There would have
been some extenuation for 1t had they
done something, but they harmed no
one"
Asked If she would continue her

why, of course: why shouldn't L?
Do they think that by killing some of
our members they can destroy our or

other boys"
Miss Berger would not explain whom
she meant by they and the muir

HARLAN PORTER

Is Badly Injured During Fire Which

Burns Barn and Kills Horse.
Harlan Porter of Mulberry, in Ho-
mer township, lost his barn by fire as
the result of a stroke of lightning
during the storm about noon Friday,
together with large quantity of hay,
grain, farming implements and tools.
One horse was killed in the fire.
Mr.. Porter, when the flames were
discovered, made heroic attempt to
save the stock from the burning
building, but wild with fright, be.
came unmanageable, kicking him
upon the right leg, just above the
knee. He was unable to get one Of
the horses from the barn and it was
burned to death. While Mr.. Porter's
injuries are very painful, it is not
thought the leg is broken, and it is
probable that he will be able to hob
BILE around within the next few days.
At present he is conducting his bust
ness over the telephone.
