Peach "yellows" is showing up
abundantly in many Maryland or
chards this season. Indications are
that this disease has spread much far
Their south than in former years. 1t
now occurs in all parts of Maryland
except Calvert, St Mary's, Wicomico,
Worcester. and Somerset, having re.
Gently been found in Northern Charles
and Dorchester Counties.
The commonest symptoms of the
disease are prematurely ripened fruit
with peculiar red spots, and the mar
row yellow leaves that show Up on
some branches. All trees showing
signs of the disease should be cut
down and burned to prevent its fur.
Their spread. The most opportune time
for doing this is directly after the
peach harvest Complete obstruction
of the diseased trees is the surest way
to keep the balance of your orchard in
healthy condition.

Potash Scarcity Need

This scarcity, however, need not Sc

which can be made available for the
coming wheat crop if liberal ap-
plcation Of lime is used; since lime
beside sweetening sour soils and lib
Grating nitrogen from organic matter
also makes the unavailable potash
compounds in the soil available for
the use Of the crop.
Experiments carried on at the State
Experiment Station through a series
Of years have proven that the use Of
lime answers the same purpose as the
application of fertilizers containing
potash, but only so long as there is
plenty of potash in the soil. Since
We find most Maryland soils rich in
potash, We need not be concerned
that lining will exhaust the supply
for some time to come.
Bearing this fact in mind, growers
are advised TO dispense with fertilizer
mixtures containing potash if the ad-
vance in price is due to the rise in
the cost of potash. For his wheat and
corn, the grower cannot afford 10 pay
much more for his potash supply than
he has in the past. In some sections
where tobacco stems and stalks can be
secured, they may be used TO supply
potash as they contain considerable
amount. The chances are, however
that the supply will soon be exhausted
under present conditions, and for the
average farmer looking for a cheap
source of potash for his wheat crop NO
better method can be followed than
lining his field before seeding.

MORE AIR NEEDED HERE.

Many poultry raisers are too much
afraid theirchickens will not be warm
enough. When the air gets a bit
chilly they close all the doors and
pull down the windows to keep the
heat in. It's all well enough TO keep
the house as warm as possible, but
when you attempt to get it warm by
closing il up, you introduce a factor
which is many times more detrimen
tai to the birds. Fowls can't stand
dampness any more tnan you can, and
when you bottle up a lot of them
in a close room the moisture they
breathe out soon fills the air an6

when the negro was given the right to

they vote en- masse or like pack OF

Sept. 20. 1914.

Frederick moving picture houses will
yield $50 for the war tax if the bill before
Congress is passed in its present shape.
There are three of them in the city.
Under the bill, as introduced, each Of
them will be called upon to pay special
tax OF $40. Managers OF the theatres and
those in thorough touch with conditions,
state, however. that this tax will prob
ably not result in an increase IN the price
of admission.
In cities with a population of IS, 600, or
over, it is understood, the motion picture
theatres will be taxed $Ioo, but in cities
with less than IS 600. the tax will be fIo.
Frederick managers will, therefore. suffer
less than those in Baltimore, Hagers-
town or Cumberland.

cally every local and State Office will be
filled. that the voters of our party regis
ter in the next two registration days
October and October 7.
The law provides no registration DAYS
before the primaries next year and as
result any person not on the books for
this falls election will not be able 10 vote
in the next primaries when The Demo
cratic party is to nominate the Governor
who is to succeed Governor Goldsbor-
ough and thus redeem the State.
II is great privilege we in this coun-
try have OF being able 10 select our own
officers and not have ruler by Divine
Right. AS it is a great privilege so
should 1t be deemed a duty for each
member of the Democratic party 10 reg.
lister and see that on election day he is in
position to best select officials who are
pledged TO the principles OF the par,y
which most nearly reflects the will of the
people.
That every Democratic voter is on the
registration books is vital to the interests
OF your party and mine. Give TO your

Dear Sir.
The candidates Of the Democratic
party having been duly nominated,
we must address ourselves to duties
imposed by the campaign to insure
complete victory at the election
on November Ord. 1t is unneces-
sary for me to dwell upon the im-
portance Of the election as affecting
both National and State affairs
from our party viewpoint. You
well know that any failure now in
Maryland would be an undeserved
blow at the National administration.
as well as a serious obstacle to the
policies Of the Democray of the
State This cannot happen except
through neglect on our part in Sc
curing full registration of the
Democrats in Baltimore City and
all the counties of the State. This

No one can vote at the Election

to the duty and privilege of regis

the above dates. Another import
ant consideration in connection with
this matter is the fact that in all

only those whose names are placed

the dates above specified will be
permitted, under the law, to vote in
the Primary Election next year
when the State and County officers
are to be nominated.
My purpose in setting these facts
before you is to enlist your CO. oper-
alton in the registration work now
whiting upon all Democratic agen-

through an exchange of securities was

The original measure drawn by

authorize the sale or lease without
conditions and also give the Hampden

proposed extension to Holyoke ana

The commissioners said they did not
favor the extension clause as they did
not believe the proposed roads would

Ell Paso in Doubt by
Conflicting Reports

Ell Paso. Texas, March 26.-ConfiictinS
reports today left the situation at Gomez
Palacio and Torreon a matter of con-
lecture.
Gen. Villa telegraphed to Manuel Chao
at Juarez that he had been in possession
of Gomez Palacio since morning and pre-
dicted that the rebels would have Tor
reon not later than Saturday. On the
other hand Miguel Diebold of Huerta'
consular service exhibited kilograms de-
claring that the rebels had been repulsed
at all points.
Diebold alleged that when at first the
rebels thought they had Gomez Palaeio
they were the victims of trap, as
result of which many were killed and
wounded and 600 were taken prisoners
The Federal retreat, he said, was a
feint TO draw the rebels over 127 dynamite
mines which were exploded under them
General Villas telegram asserted that
the rebels were still maintaining base
at Ell Verjel five miles from Gomez Pa
lacio. while the railroad line was being
repaired. He added that the Federals
had attempted to evacuate Torreon
through the hills to the south, but had
been driven back into the city
According to Chao, Villa asserted that
for the "a hours preceding his taking OF
Gomez Palacie the battle was confined
mostly to artillery practice and that ms
men today were moving into positions
for the attack on Torreon proper.
