inc Baseball Situation

The Juneau baseball players who are out of jobs want to go to work. Two of them have said they would quit baseball if their job were jeopar- dized by getting away to play. The rest of the team want to so to work. They claim that they were promised jobs here if they would come and while no blame is attached to Manag- CT Dadonich. who is perhaps the best baseball spirit in the country and has always put up his good cash rather than see the sport go to pieces on the channel. nevertheless the fact re- mains that the players want to get employment and play ball at the same time.
 The fans should get together and take care of the ball player who is willing to work. Something should be done.

 A Douglas fan has taken exception to the Empires statement, published Monday. that Baxter was called out at first when Kertis' foot was two feet off the bag.

 Herbert Corep says in the Globe. that 20 per cent. of those affected by German trench gas die, 30 per cent will-it Is believed-be affected per manently Those affected suffer the tortures of Hell. They flame with fever. Their lungs fill with water so that they drown, except that drown ing is not mercifully quick. Those who die cough-and cough-untii kind death comes. They may not lie down. Their faces turn horrible gray.black in color. They sit in the beds and are conscious while fire runs through their veins-and cough. At least two sets of gas are used. One is sent out from caldrons, or some other such instumentality, the other is discharged in bombs. The gas seems to have been used first on Ap- ru %. The first thing noticed by the men when the gas began to flow into the trenches was 8 tendency to keep coughing Their eyes watered. Soon they could not stand it and ran away. Those who stopped to pick up their bags and guns were lost" was the universal testimony They died im- mediately" Laboratory experiments upon the affected men show that the trench gas is probably a compound of chlorine and bromide. Shell gas has been discharged in bombs fired from German field pieces. While it differs slightly from the trench gas. 1t has practically the same affect.

MEETING At COLLEGE PARK
Agricultural Agents At a Conference
Al College Park Determine To Begin
Denomination Campaign In July In
Every Organized County In the
state-0iVlde the State Into Dis
tricts.

College Park.-Twelve counties were
represented at an important confer
ence of the county agricultural agents
of the State, held here, State Agent G.
H. Afford, representing the combined
demonstration work of the Agricul-
tural College and United States De-
partment of Agriculture, presided.
The most important result Of the
conference was the decision of those
in attendance to hold an agricultural
demonstration campaign in every or
ganized county of the State during the
latter part of July and the first three
weeks In August. A similar campaign
was conducted week ago in Somer-
set and Worcester counties with
gratifying success, the purpose being
to bring the extension workers of the
Agricultural College and Department
Of Agriculture on close speaking
terms with the farmers in their own
neighbOrhoods, as well as familiariz-
ing them with the work Of the local
county agent and ways in which he
can cooperate with them.
For carrying out this plan, the State
has been divided into districts. One
weeks campaign will be conducted in
each district as follows:
July 2S, 29, 80 in st. Mary's, Charles
and Calvert counties.
August 4, 5, in Queen Anne's, Tai
bot and Dorchester counties.
August IL, 12 13 in Cecil, Baltimore
and Anne Arundel counties.
August IT. 18, 10 in Allegany and
Garrett counties.
Prominent speakers from the U. s.
Department OF Agriculture and the
Agricultural College and Experiment
! Station will assist the county agents
in this campaign for the improvement
of agricultural conditions in the State.
Those in attendance at the confer
ence were United States District
Agent Jesse M. Jones. of the Depart
ment of Agriculture; State Agent G.
H. Afford, Assistant State Agent in
Charge of Boys Club Work Reuben
Brigham and county agricultural
agents from the following counties: ].

Anne Arundel Rate 60 Cents.

Annapolis. = The Anne Arundel
County Commissioners have fixed the
county tax rate for 1915 at 62 cents on
the 500, an increase of cents. This
rate, however, does not include the
road tax, which varies in the several
districts; nor the State and school tax
rates, which are fixed by law. The
special rate of 81 applies, as usual to
property at Arundelon-the-Bay, a
small summer resort several miles
south of Annapolis. The rate is based
upon an assessment of approximately
$40, 100000. The scent increase is
due, 1t is stated, to a reduction Of the
assessment of $716,495, caused largely
by the new law exempting household
furniture less than, $500. The new
general reassessment authorized by an
act of the last Legislature, now in
progress, will largely overcome the de.
ficiency, 1t is expected. There was a
decrease in the basis for all districts
except the Fifth, which comprises
Brooklyn, Curtis Bay and other sec.
tions contiguous to Baltimore city.
The road tax rate by districts follows:
First, S5 cents; Second. 3S cents;
Third, 73 cents; Fourth, 79 cents
Fifth, SIS cents, and Eighth, S5 cents
