CARROLLTON HEIGHTS.

Corn husking seems to be the Occu-
patton of the day. Some little will be
left over for another week, but the
majority will finish this week. The
weather has been ideal too for this.
The crop is a good one.
These balmy days make one rather
tardy about their work, but the snow
bird has been seen which is an indi-
cation of rough weather, so it be-
hoyes us not to put off for tomorrow
what can be done today, knowing that
prOcrastination is the thief of time
and remembering also that Indian
summer will not last much longer.
Miss Mary B. Long has accepted a
position in Baltimore and entered up
on her duties last week.
Miss Ruth Shaffer, who has been
under the physicians care the past

The Carrollton L. T. L. figured
prominently in the big temperance
parade last Saturday. Despite the
inclement weather about 26 were con-
veyed to and from the place in an
auto truck which was beautifully
decorated in flags, autumn leaves and
posters. They were chaperoned by
the second assistant superintendent
Mrs. Gussie Blizzard, assisted by Mrs.
Sue Keller; Miss Beatrice Houck rode
horseback and represented one of the
counties of Maryland, while Master
Emerson Palmer represented the
Nation as Uncle Sam, and Miss Eurith
Evans, the Carroll County l.. IT. L., as
the Goddess of Liberty, rode in a
beautifully decorated float. They were
accompanied by the County l.. T. l..
Superintendent, as Columbia. The
superintendent and the boys and
girls wish to thank Mr.. K. R. Taylor
for the use of his truck, and to Mr..
Raymond Shilling for safely plotting
them to and from the parade. Also
to all who in any way helped to make
this such a decided success. The
Carrollton Cornet Band and the w. G.
T. U. took an active part also, and
made a fine showing. Many from this
vicinity entered the big auto parade
which toured the city.

roads of Maryland. Mr. and Mrs.

We rejoice in the splendid dry"
victory over the state, especially in
old Carroll, and we are determined to
help our fellow counties who are less
fortunate than we. Let the words of
the song, Every little bit added to
what you've got, makes a little bit
more" be ever before you, until at
last we shall see victory for the whole
state.
