Judge Wright Prickett is working on a brief in the appeal taken by school district No. ii against spe- cial school district No. 10, which had been on the docket for the October term of circuit court but which was dismissed on the ground that the appellant district not having been a party in the hearing had be- fore the County court had no right of appeal to said court From this decision of the Circuit court, the appeal is taken, and if the Supreme court sustains the appeal, the case will come up for hearing on it's merits, in the Circuit court The litigation arose when the officers and the taxpayers in certain terri tory belonging to school district No. ii petitioned the County court to annex said territory to district No. 70 which is the Egger school dis trict The County court granted the prayer Of the petition and from this order the officers of school dis irict No. ii attempted to appeal Co tue Circuit court

ALLEN GINS GOOD BUSINESS.
Handled S70 Bales and Some Was
 Brought 20 Miles.

T. A Allen has had a splendid run at his sin this season, turning out to date 810 bales, and thinks there Is still enough in sight to bring the total for the season up to 900 bales. This run was exceeded by him in 1911. when he ginned a total of 1870 bales. 1t is interesting to note that some of the cotton ginned was brought in for a distanc of over 20 miles, the reason for this being that the owners desired to sell the seed in Mena and they preferred to bring the seed and lint ill together. An other point of interest is that the total number of bales ginned al the Allen gin is practically one-fourth of the total number of bales mar keted in Mena.

 The closing address by Dr. J. A. Biggs, came as a fitting number after the program furnished by the pupils. He contrasted the opportu- mites and advantages Of today with
 those of the days when he and the older ones of the audience were boys and girls in school and he pointed out the progress that has been made in reaching our diversi- fled system of education as con- trasted with the time when the

SOYBEANS IN MARYLAND.

Of late a great deal of interest
in soybeans has been manifested
throughout Maryland Soybeans are
well adapted to practically all sections
of Maryland, as far as climate is con-
cerned, but thrive best on rich loan
and clay soils. They will not grow as
well as coWpeas on poor, sandy soils,
but are far better than coypeas ON
stiff, clay soils. They will also stand
poor drainage better than cowpeas
will. In other words, in those sections
where coWpeas do not grow well. SOW.
beans will be far more satisfactory.
They are also better adapted to the
stiff clay soils in the sections now pro-
ducing cowpeas well than the cowpeas
are.
The two important factors to be-
taken into consideration in the pro-
duction of soybeans are incubation
and the selection of the proper varie.
ties ..,:.
Practically all soils in Maryland
must be inoculated for soybeans if
they have not previously grown soy
beans successfully
The best varieties for Maryland are
Wilson, Virginia, Ebony, Cloud, Ar
Iington, Medium Yellow, Haberlandt,
Hollybrook, Picking and Taba. The
Mammoth Yellow variety is commonly
found on the market but it is one of
the poorest varieties for Maryland ex-
cept where 1t is simply used for a
green manure crop.-Nicholas Schmitz,

sion Service.

could not manipulate the power
of the Speakers chair if he oc-
cQpied it. 1t is to Governor
Harrington's credit that when
the test came he stood strongly
for Mr.. Laird and, with the as
sistance Of Frank Furst. compel
led his election.
Mr.. Laird's election gave tone
and color to the Legislature from
the very beginning, 1t was
taken by all as an earnest, in
the first place, Of sincere pur-
pose by the Democratic party to
hold down legislative expenses.
The election itself did much to-
ward that. And in the second
place, it was taken by all to mean
that the business Of the House
would be conducted decently and
fairly. 1t was. Baltimore Sun.

The Penalty for
a Good Reputation,

When an article has been on the
market for years and has given COM
plete satisfaction when used in
thousands OF homes it creates for
itself a valuable reputation, yet at
the same time this good reputation
has its penalty.
Foley'S Honey and Tar Compound
enjoys a splendid reputation, for it
has been used for three general tons.
Its fair name and high repute have
created a demand for it, and to sup
ply this demand at a greater profit
limitations and substitutes are offered.
Purchasers who know the original
cannot be fooled by any s lust as
good" offering and it is worth the
effort of any one who wants a reliable
cough syrup to insist upon the orig
inal and genuine Foley'S Honey and
Tar Compound, which has proven so
valuable for the relief of coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.
