Weather Proves Handicap.
The weather which has prevailed

which to get out and solicit people.
The work of soliciting for the sale of
stock has been necessarily somewhat
DELAYED because of the weather con-

see everyone, although every effort
has been made to do so.
The stock statesmen are at work to-

to clean up the remaining amount

some good hard work and cooperation
on the part of the people here that the
goal can be reached, however.

ENGLAND Enters Second Year
of War With Added Strength

10 bear at once But under the stimu-
lus of foolish Zeppelin attacks and
bombardments of watering places,
with the murder of fishermen and
merchant sailors, there has come a
temper in this country which has
never been seen before and which
enables US to now bend our whole
energy to the task without recourse
to those ethods of compulsion which
are so hateful 70 our conceptins OF
freedom The war would never have
been taken as seriously by our easy
going people had j; not been for the
mistakes of our enemy in ndulging in
these senseless brutalities which have
frightened no one. but which have
.exasperated every one, So that any
government which suggested a com
promise would not live for a day.
The scandalous treatment of our pris-
oners (now greatly ameliorated) has
helped to the same end.
The result is that Great Britain
will enter the second year of the
war greatly strengthened in every
way, with her navy uninpaired. her
army ten times larger. and her people
united in fighting to an absolute fin
ish. cost what it may. That the cost
will be heavy in lives ard money no
one doubts. but the end is as sure as

SCARCITY is LAID
TO ABUSE OF SPORT

ELKTON, Md. Aug. 2.-Reports
from all sections OF the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries agree that
unless preventive steps are soon TAX
en-. Maryland will lose one OF her
chief sources of revenue-the crab
industry.
Each year. for five years crabs have
become scarcer and scarcer. until to-
day il is estimated that the crab fish
ermen are losing $4,000 weekly
through scarcity of the shellfish.
When the Legislature convenes next
winter strong efforts will be made to
and revive the industry.
The chief abuse is said TO BE- the
catching Of young CT abs from one to
five inches in length. without giving
them a chance to grow. shed out and
become marketable as soft shells.
/ Another bad plan is the dredging of
female crabs In the winter Both Of
these abuses is said to benefit only a
very few persons, while iniuring
thousands and making the price Of
crabs high throughout the States.
