 1et us all pull together to make
 tho fair this fall the best in it's
 history. It was not organized
 as q money making proposition
 for the stockholders. These
 oubHc spirited men tied their
 money up in this business to
 further the material interests of
 the county and to show the out ! side world that Carroll county
 can produce as good farm pro- l ducts, live stock, fruits and
 other thing as good as the best
 and to inspire the people to great CT efforts, to better their county by growing better crops of all kinds, and to better conditions | generally.
 We hope that the farmers and | business men of the county will begin right now to get ready to help make the fair this fall what it should be. This will require some work, but if we will all pull together and put some good team work into the proposition, we will wonder this fall how easy it was done.
 MT. business man begin at once to talk fair to every customer that comes to your place of business; MT. farmer begin right now to save some of the very best of every crop you produce this year for your exhibit of what can be grown on Carroll county soil.
 In preparing exhibits of grain in the sheaf carefully cut same just above the ground, strip off the blades, carefully cure in the shade and keep dry, tn e S e sheayes should be when cured not more nor less than three incher in diameter. In tn e grasses and clovers and other legumes they should be the same size as the grains, carefully cured in the shade and kept dry, and all leaves and blades kept on. In alfalfa prepare a sheaf for each cutting and keep date of each cutting so same can be at tached to your exhibit at the fair.
 Exhibits of vegetable should not be jumbo in size, rough and all sizes put up together, but should be smooth, good medium size and uniform in appearance. It may take a few minutes longer to prepare a peck of potatoes or other vegetables or fruits this way but it puts up so much bet ter appearance and adds to your chances of being the prize win her, that you will feel proud that you took the extra time When you see your exhibit with others at the fair.
 In preparing township exhibits the peple interested in making a good showing for their town ship should organize for that purpose and let each member oo their part, this will enable any township to make a splendid showing and will add very ma terlally to the success of the fair.
 We earnestly beg every loyal cltlzen of Carroll county to put Ihelr shoulders to the wheel and help make the fair what it should oe' II you will do your part you Will be astonished at what 0afroll county soil will do.

ANNUAL REPORT
BEING COMPILED

County Engineer James Wilson has
commenced the inspection of the dirt
roads of the county. He has called
upon a number of the road supervis-
ors and gone over their sections of
the 500 miles of dirt roads A promi-
nent farmer told an EVENING JOUR-
NAL reporter today that although the
Levy Court has built and maintains
200 miles of stone roads. the re-
modelled dirt roads are a boon to the
farmers. About that time James W.
Foster, superintendent of the New
Castle County Hospital, came into
the Levy Court room. Hearing the
conversation, he said
"The dirt roads in this county are
a credit to the county In New Cas-
tie hundred under the supervision OF
George W. Burris the roads are round
ed nicely, well drained. devoid of ruts
and mud puddles and are equal TO a
race track.
An examination OF county records
showed that in 1907 the road indebt-
edness of the several hundreds which
then had been almost impossible

The use of the drag and observance OF
rules OF the road have been largely re-
sponsible for the present condition OF
the roads.
The road drag has been found to be
one of the most useful and economical
of all road implements while it win not
shape a roadbed it will keep one IN
shape after one has been rounded by the
steel road scraper BY using these
drags Just after a rain the water Is
squeezed out of the ruts. the road has
chance TO dry, and the surface be-
comes hardened. Earth roads. even
though properly made in the first place.
soon get out of order and require con
, slant care and attention all the year
round.
The following rules for dragging a
road have been adopted;
Haul the drag over the road at any
angle so that a little earth is pushed e
/ the center of the road.
/ Drive the team slowly along one sid
Of the road, returning ON the other side
and let the driver ride on the drag.
Drag the road as soon after n rain q
! possible but not when the mud stick
to the drag.
DO not drag a dry road. Drag at al
seasons of the year.
ii the ground freezes Just after drag
ging the roadbed will be in smoot
condition.
The best results are obtained by re
lpeated dragging.
Mr.. Wilson said he is now preparin
his annual report and for that reaso
he did not wish to talk about the sub
ject.

Tells JAPAN TO
OBSERVE TREATY
Another Formal Protest
Against Mikado'S Demands
on Chinese Republic
expect SATISFACTORY
OUTCOME OF Difficulty
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, March 1S-The
United States has asked Japan to live
up to her treaty obligations agreeing
to respect China's integrity, it was
learned officially today though neith-
er President Wilson nor Secretary
Bryan would admit just what form the
representations took. They agreed
however, that the appeal to Japan was
in the friendliest language and pro
fessed to believe the MikadO's gov
ernment would make material modiii-
cations in its demands on the new
Chinese republic.
Secretary Bryan insisted that what
ever action has been taken was en-
tirely on Americas initiative and was
not a joint proposal, although the
State Department understands Russia
and England also have told Japan
that any interference with China's
territorial integrity would be very un-
friendly.
Despite this statement members of
the diplomatic corps here declared
there is at least a complete under
standing between the nations as TO
what they want and their representa-
tions are in almost identical language.
1t is understood that Japan has
asked this government what modifica-
tions in the original Japanese de-
mands would be acceptable The
matter has been discussed by the
Japanese ambassador and Counsellor
Lansing, of the State Department and
officials said today that at all times
Japan has seemed to adopt a most
conciliatory attitude.

City Court today, for failing to con

Allies Thus Far Stand

this GOVERNMENT Sees
SATISFACTORY OUTCOME
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-While
the legal experts of this government
examined a long line of precedents
the administration marked time to-
day in the international situation.
The allies contention that they have
actually established a long range
blockade of German ports, such ac-
tion being made necessary by the
changed methods in war fare caused
by Germanys continued violations
OF international law has raised a
number of points which President
Wilson desires cleared up before any
further action is taken by the United
States.
A protest has been decided on
against the Franco-British latest po-
sition. It is to be based on the
claim that the allies have the right
to stop "German-owned or German
manufactured cargoes wherever en-
countered" But the exact nature of
this protest and the facts that it is
to embrace may not be fully decided
on before the end of this week.
In making public the text Of all of
| the correspondence with the bellig-
erents to date. the State Department
withheld any comment on future
plans. But officials pointed out that
while Germany was plainly in a con-
ciliatory mood. the allies took the
position that they will stand pat in
all of their plans to starve out their
chief enemy. They make plain that
they are standing on the doctrine of
right of might" in every word eX-
changed with this government.
Germany, in her latest note TO the
United States, accepted conditionally
practically every suggestion made.
England fatty rejected all sugges-
tions that this country should have
the right to feed the non-combatants
i'm Germany. It charged fatty that
: since the war began Germany has vio-
/, lated all rules of international war
fare; has been guilty of the mosi
nagrant atrocities in Belgium; has
treated British prisoners Of war IN
a barbarous manner. planted floating
mines on the high seas; sunk ships
carrying passengers and food without
legal right: bombarded unfortifiec
British coast towns and in general
justified the starvation policy as a
proper answer to Germany's announc-
ed submarine blockade.
The one significant declaration in
all of the correspondence is the state
ment by France and England that
they will confine their operations "a
the European theatre of war. This is
admittedly a concession to the United
States, but officials say that 1t does
not go far enough In discussing
the situation high officials Of the gov
eminent declare that while it is
fraught with danger they are extreme
/ ly hopeful that eventually concessions
! will be made which will satisfy this
government.
