Cattle Ban To End.

The entire State of Maryland has been
released from the Federal quarantine
against the fOot-and-mOuth disease. The
Federal order ends a period Of rigorous
restriction of the movements of split-hoof
live stock. which has caused great loss
and has been source Of extreme in
convenience and annoyance to farmers
and dealers. The disease appeared in
Maryland last year, about the same time
that ii broke out in other and widely sep
arated sections Of the country.
Maryland was quarantined by the Fed
eral Government and shortly thereafter the
State ordered quarantine against ship
ments Of cattle between most Of the cOun-
ties. For months the Federal and State
and stamp out the disease. Time and
again ii was believed to be under control
and time and again infection was disc0v-
cred in some new spot or in some place
where. ii was thought. the disease had
been eradicated.
The policy of the Federal and State
Governments has been to share equally
the payments for cattle killed. An esti-
mate made some weeks ago placed the
cost TO the State at $38.96053 That
figure may be increased slightly by later
charges. but IL is approximately correct.
The United States Government has paid
out an equal amount on account Of the
Maryland outbreak and in addition has
paid 10000 for infected hogs shipped to
Baltimore from other States and slaueh-
tered but for which the State was not re-
quired to pay anything.
or the total cost to Maryland. So, 242.4O
representing the cost Of disinfecting in
fected buildings and other property. the
burial Of slaughtered animals and other
expenses. has already been paid. The
remaining 500. 718.13 represents the States
share Of the value Of animals that had to
be slaughtered in order to prevent the
spread Of the disea3e and cannot be paid
until the Legislature has made an appro-
priation for that purpose.
The United States Government has
actually paid S49086 more than was
paid by the State toward the cost Of dis
injecting, burial Of animals and the de-
struction Of property. and ii is possible the
State will be called upon to contribute its
half Of this overpayment. II so, the quar-
antine to the State will be increased SPAS
43 over the amount above stated.

The Fair.

The Montgomery County Agricultural
Society again greets its members and
friends and urges the hearty cooperation
of the people of the county in making the
Fair this year the best in the long life of the
association. For 81 years the grounds have
been open for the display of all kinds of
farm, garden and household productions.
and the spirit of emulation has grown
until to win premium at the Fair means
that the winner has the best in the whole
county. For several years rain has in
terfered with the financial success of the
exhibitions, although in other respects the
high standard of the Fair has been NAM
tanned. This year there have been a num-
Der of Improvements on the grounds that
will materially enhance the comfort of the
visitors. The race program is good one
and there will be some first-class horses
here. The display of stock, machinery and
all sorts of products from the farm and the
home will be large and representative.
Do not have your good things at home
N0 shSh' yOu tlilllh
how easilyyou could have won the premium.
Bring the best you have and let your
neiehbors see how good farmer or how
charming housewife you are. The Fair
is county Institution and the people of
this grand old county should have county
and neighborhood pride enough to make it
a great show. Other counties have larger
exhibitions, but we honestly believe that
no county in the State can show better or
a larger variety of stock or farm products
than we can. We know the ladies cannot
be beat in this or any other State when it
comes to their handiwork.
Let us all get together this year and
make it banner year, both in the exhibit
tons and the attendance. The Fair is
yours and will not succeed unless you
make it 60. The officers have arranged
good program and provided variety of
entertainments. You only need to come
to have good time. They have done
their share. We hope and believe that
you will do yours. Then we will have the
best Fair in the State.
LEE OFFUTT,
President.

Lincoln Road Selected.

The route of the Baltimore W Washington
loop of the Lincoln Memorial Highway,
which will connect New York and San
Francisco in a coast-to-coast good roads
system, was selected last Friday by the
Lincoln Memorial Highway Committees of
Baltimore, Washington and Maryland at a
joint meeting in the rooms Of the Chamber
of Commerce, Washington, D. C..
The route is composed of completed sec
tons of Maryland's State road system and
is the shortest that could have been picked.
The entire route in Maryland from the
Delaware State line through Baltimore and
Washington to the Pennsylvania State
line is ready for travel and all that is
necessary to complete it is to post the
markers" telling the traveller that he is
on the Lincoln Highway
After leaving Wilmington and crossing
the State line into Maryland, the route
runs to Elkton. to Havre de Grace, to Belair
into Baltimore. Upon leaving Baltimore,
the boulevard is followed to Washington.
Out of Washington the Union turnpike is
taken to Norbeck, thence to Rockville,
Gaithersburg, Ridgeville, Frederick, En-
mitsburg, Thurmont on the Pennsylvania
State line. From Thurmont to the Gettys-
burg Battle Field Park, where the main
line is tapped, there is gap of about five
miles of incompleted road, which the Penn
sylvania State authorities have promised
to put into shape for the Lincoln Highway
travel.
The route through Baltimore is to be
selected by the Baltimore Lincoln Highway
Committee with the approval of Mayor
Preston. The streets to be followed in
Washington will be selected by the Wash
ington committee. with the assistance of
the District Commissioners. Maryland ave-
nue. will doubtless be used to enter the
national capital. and will be followed to
the $3,000.000 Lincoln Memorial Temple
in Potomac Park. which is now under con-
struction.
o. E. Weller. chairman of the Maryland
State Roads Commission. outlined the route
through Maryland for the loop" His plan
was approved without discussion. Judge
Glen H. Worthington and J. M. Dronenburg.
of Frederick. attended the conference to
have that city placed on the loop" Their
city was selected without opposition.
The Maryland Automobile Association,
it was stated, is ready to proceed with the
posting of the markers" R. j. Beacham.
of Baltimore, was asked to confer with the
Chambers of Commerce of Chester, Pa, and
Wilmington, Del. with view of having
streets designated in those cities for the
route of the Maryland loop.
