showing, as we'll as telling, the farr:-
ers how to increase their earning ca
pacity and thereby enable them to
build magnificent homes and properly
equip their farms.
These County Agents realize the
fact that the average farmer is d
natural doubter and dearly loves to be
shown. The old system of education
was to educate from the top, but the
County Agents in this State, and in
other states, are guiding the hands
as it were. of the average farmer
while he learns to write the new and
magical letters Of science and profit
upon the soil. They are shiwing the
great mass of farmers how to keep
records of milk cows and get rid IF
the Improbable ones. They are show
ing the farmers how to prune, spray
and otherwise care for orchards and
so on. They are showing the farmers
how to inoculatc hogs against hor
cholera and save hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to the state.
1t is often stated that the average
farmer is hard to reach and impress
Since 1904 County Agents have found
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1915-11-27

this to be big mistake. They have
found that the great mass of farmers
are the most tractable Of people il
you have anything substantial to Of
fer. They have found that the farm
ers do not take kindly to pure theory,
and that no class can more quickly
discriminate between money making
farmers and bookish farmers than the
men who till the soil.
The twelve County Agents in this
State are getting wonderful results.
Within the next year or two we will
have an efficient County Agent in
every county in the State. Each Agent
will begin at the bottom to teach the
best methods of securing the largest
yield Of crops with the greatest eco
nomy. Thus We will soon have pros
perlty throughout our rural districts,
and can rejoice in the general pros
peerity and intelligence of all the peo-
pie.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
Of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and build'ng-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful. drugs. Tryit.

THE COUNTY
AGENT MOVEMENT
G. II. Afford,
State Agent, College Park, Md.

material prosperity Is the awakening
Of the people to the need of better
farming. More than half a century
ago a few of the really great men of
this nation opened their eyes to the
truth that upon the product Of the
farm depends the prosperity of the
country and as a result our Agricul-
tural Colleges were established.
The founders of Agricultural Col
leges did not realize the fact that all
progress in agriculture is founded on
scientific investigation and progress
was indeed slow until Experimental
Stations were established as well.
The establishment of Agricultural
Colleges attracted thousands of the
sons of farmers by their gospel of
labor and the introduction of studies
helpful to the farmer. A large num-
Der of the graduates of these college,
have not returned to the farm. but
many of them are now engaged in
work at Experiment Stations. Agri-
cultural Colleges, Agricultural Schools
and editing Agricultural Papers, and
are taking the lead in bringing about
the necessary changes. Many thous-
ands of the under graduates are also
on the farms and captains of rural
industry. This being true. we know
that the money being spent by the
Government and the different states
for the support of these agricultural
colleges is accomplishing wonderful
results.
The Experiment Stations have
worked out and made available

ment has expended many millions Of

Of meeting conditions can be devised. 1t appears aln est certainty the ordinance will be adopted after its third and final reading Monday night.
 Mayor Simon Bloom is expected to bo back from Hot Springs today, and will preside at the meeting. Because of his prese~ce, there may De some discussion as 10 the advisability o. adopting an ordinance licensing and regular jitney automobiles, out there is some doubt as to tho like lihood of the adoption of any ordi- nance.
 There is but one jitney automobile new in operation in Pine Bluff. so far as is known to the authorities, all the others have quit operations be- cause of poor business. Jitneys for negroes are numerous, however. and apparently they are making expenses. if not profits. Members of the co]- cred race nse the iitneys for their "ioy riding" in large degree. and are keen to enjoy tho pleasure of riding in an automobile in .heir trips through or across the city.
 The Milk Ordinance.
 The milk ordinance will come be- fore the council, for it's second road ing, and is likely to be the subject of lengthy discussion. That an effort will be made to amend the ordinance in several important particulars is we'll understood and each Of these is expected to bring on an argument and contest.

 Alabama Street Paving.
 The ordinance for the formation of an improvement district to pavs parts of Alabama and intersectilg streets extending to State street wiz, also come before the council for it's third reading. This ordinance was introduced in March, and has had two readings. Final action has not yet been taken, however, because of request that the matter be held over a while.
 Relative to the Alabama street paving district matter, it has been stated that some of the property owners object to the formation of the district, and desired to be heard by the council before the ordinance was passed. None of these property owners has yet appeared before the council, however, and the ordinance will doubtless be adopted Monday night, especially because the ordi- nance merely grants permission for the district tp be formed, and the council has no authority to refuse to pass an ordinance granting such permission.
 The adoption of such ordinance has no binding effect. because it merely opens the way for the circulation of the necessary petition. and the hear ing which follows lately at which proponents and opponents may ap- ,poor and nresnnf their cauGeS to the council, following which anpearan"a the council takes final action which actually binds and has effect.

of traffic.
 The traffic light is nothing more than a metal stand or pole, semi ornamental, standing in the very centre of the street intersection, and surnounted by a red light. The light burns only at night. and the pole is about five or six feet tall. The rule is simple, being that all vehicl:s must, at all times. be on the right of the pole. The precence Of the pole makes it easy for violators of the traffic law to be noticed.
 Manager Fowles of the Pine Bluff company took advantage of the op- portunity few days ago. to make preparations for the installation of such light at Second and Main streets. While the street was torn up. hy the workmen making repairs and laying the new pavement. he in- stalled conduit reaching from the curb to the center of the street. If the traffic light is installed at that corner at any time in the future, all that will be necessary is to draw the wire cable through the pipe and the street will not have to be torn up for that purpose.
 Several business men who were acquainted with the proposition last night. endorsed it heartily and prom ised their aid in raising the fund necessary. The poles cost about $20 or, a25 each. hence about $40 or $50 will he necessary to instalr one ot the liehts at Second and Main and at Sixth and Main. the two street Intersections where there is unusual- ly heavy traffic in Pine Bluff.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis
Has Completed Plans.

Two hundred million Red Cross
Christmas seals are now being print
ed and distributed by the American
Red Cross and the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, according to statement
issued by the latter organization. The
proceeds from the sale Of these seals
will go for the fight against tubercu-
losis in the communities where the
seals are sold.
The organization of the Red Cross
seal sale this year will take in every
state and territory of the United
States, including Hawaii, Porto Rico.
and the Canal zone. By December 1,
over 100000 workers, men, women and
children, will be engaged In the cam
paign.
The sale in 1914 broke all previous
records, totalirg over 100000 seals,
an increase of % per cent over 1913.
After deducting all expenses, this left
nearly sS00,0o0 for tuberculosis work
in this country. The money has been
and is being expended by over 1000
different agencies who benefited from
the sale in amounts ranging from 500
or less to over $4,000. The Ameri.
can Red Cross announces that it will
continue it's previous successful policy
of charging only 10 per cent of the
gross proceeds to state antituberculo-
sis associations. thereby encouraging
local work.

by the treasury department, internal
revenue collections on spirits are de-
creasing about $1,250,000 a month,
and this despite the emergency war
taxi levied on wines by the last con-
gress.
That there has been marked de-
crease in the amount of distilled spir-

figures: From July 1, 1918, to May
1, 1914, the taxes were $135, SIS, 495.
From July, 1914, to May /, 1916. they

ALBERTA DRY.

Alberta, Canada, is the first domin.

direct vote Of the people. 1t voted dry
July 81 by 10000 majority, the law to
go into effect July /, 1915. This great
newly white territory comprises $780,
600 square miles. an area larger thar
the combined states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
A factor of great influence in the
victory was the Endorsement Of the
prohibition measure by the medical
men of Calgary who thus placed them
selves in the front rank of efficient
and up-to-date physicians who are
everywhere declaring the evil effects
of alcoholic beverages.

PRACTICAL SALOON SUBSTITUTE

PRACTICAL SALOON SUBSTITUTE.
The Illinois Steel company started a
campaign against drinking among
their employees in their South Chi
cago mills short time ago. The sa-
loonkeepers, by the way of retaliation,
established elaborate free lunches and
advertised the fact. They posted signs
which told Of the bad effects cold
lunches have on digestive organs. Over
the doorways of saloons pictures of
large steaming bowls of soup were
painted. One sign read: Don't come
in to drink: come in to eat"
The steel company came back with
the establishment of restaurant in
the plant with the following menu:

his investigations as attorney for the

influenced him to go out and fight the
saloon as the greatest source of crime

all crimes are committed by abnormal
persons, and that in tracing the source
of these abnormalities he has found
1t to be, in large majority of cases,
the liquor evil.
Before / started my Investigations
