Race Track Case In Court.

Persons who visited the Bel Air Court
room last Thursday and Friday were
given an interesting insight into alleged
fraudulent practices which are engaged
in nowadays at the selling races conduct
ed at the modern race tracks. The
shrewd workings of the game were aired
In Court at the hearing of two injunction
proceedings brought by Jesse w. Hedrick
and his son Jesse w. Hedrick, Jr.. horse
men against the Hartford Agricultural and
Breeders Association. which operates the
Havre de Grace race track, to restrain
that boiy from refusing the HedHck horse
entries. The two cases grew out of the
bid up of Ada Anne the week before,
when it was claimed by the Association
the elder Hedrick procured straw" bid
for $500 to be put upon the said horse and
that the said bidder defaulted in the pay
ment OF the horse. The stewards of the
association thereupon ruled that Hedrick
was disqualified from entering his famous
string of horses in future races at the
track. Judge Harlan dissolved the in
junction proceedings. ruling that the AS
sociaIion had not acted arbitrarily in deal
ing with the Hedricks. who had brought
their horses from Cuba to the local
track.-Times. Bel Air.

PILGRIMAGE TO HOME OF MAR
6ARET BRENT.

Miss Lola c. Trax, organizer of the
Just Government League of Maryland. is
determined that the expedition to the
home of Margaret Brent shall leave Balti-
more on May 81, the schedule time.
Already local firm has the order for just
the right kind of horses. and the prairie
schooner is being constructed. The cara
vaners do not consider style requisite OF
suffrage steeds. Rather must they be
gentle. steady, tried-and-trusty. The
building of the caravan is less weighty
matter but there is do doubt that 1t will
be replica of the model which made the
forty-niners famousg

less heartily than will be the Suffrage

will give farewell dinner and dance at
Mt. Holly Inn. the arrangements for
which are in the hands of Mrs. Francis M.
Goodwin An open-air meeting will be
held before the p.rty leaves the League
headquarters on May 81.
And so it is that interest in the Pileri-
mage to the home of Margaret Brent, the
first suffragist, grows; for with the Pilgri-
mape are asSociated thono hrs of The es-
taolishment of home for religious lib
erty, that home the colony OF Maryland.
at the village Of ST. Mary's. This is the
first attempt that has ever been made to
popularize Maryland history; and the Just
Government League. which seeks political
equality for women. could find no better
propaganda material than that offered
by the liberty loving settlers of Mary
land, among them the world renowned
Margaret Brent.

The Country Life Problem,-the most

encourage rural organizations all over the
county. The corn club work for boys he
said. should be accompanied by canning
and poultry clubs for the girls, and said
If we are sufficiently interested to get our

selves of this great advantage. nearly

Secy. pro TEN.

S. w. Lusby and L. B. Davis, of Cecil
ton. have purchased fifty tons of ground
oyster shells on the recommendation of
G. F. Marsh, County Agricultural Agent.
Mr.. Marsh wishes it to be distinctly
understood that he holds no brief for the
oyster shell grinders and if any one will
tell him how the farmers in the southern
part of the county can get their lime at a
competitive price, combined with short
haul from the boat landings. he will be
only too glad to give it publicity.
The County Agent at Cambridge. Md.
states that the farmers can get the shells
delivered at the boat landing for SIPS
per ton, and that it costs them fifty cents
to have them ground. which means $I.75
for their ground shells in bulk at the
shore.
Here is chance for some progressive
farmer in the southern part of the county
to get busy and invest in portable shell
grinder and give work to some threshing
engine all winter grinding shells,
The county agent of St Mary's County

ture. as the corn is coming up we'll where
the harrow was used Immediately after
the plow. While the recent rains have
prevented the full effect of this practice
being seen in this county, we are not
always sure of rain when it is needed.
and if it had not come when it did there
would have been an enormous loss in the
corn crop from the neglect of this impor
tant of conserving soil moisture.
