bott was too quick for him and dodg-
ed the blow Mr.. Joseph Dorman
appeared at the right time, and land
ed terrific blow on Lynton's face,
but in doing so broke the index

the latter was finally placed in Jail
Justice Bauer heard the case on
Tuesday morning and placed fne

To. Prevent Threatened Railroad
Strike.

President Wilson on Tuesday sub
mitted to representatives of the rail-
road managers and employees the
plan he has envolved for preventing
a nationwide strike.

the 8-hour day principle by roads.
the arbitration of the overtime
charge demanded by the men, and an
impartial Congressional inquiry into
the practicability of inaugurating the
8-hour day. Neither side accepted
the Presidents proposal but both
agreed to further consideration of it
and to another series OF conferences.
These will bring a decision as to the
outcome of the present stage of the
negotiations and will determine
whether other measures must be re-
sorted to for prevention ,of the
strike.

MINISTER'S HAVE A GREAT TIME
AT COLLEGE PARK.
Show Themselves Capable on Confer
ence Floor, In Dining-haII And
On The Ball Diamond.

The third Country life Confer
ence came to a close August
after the most successful session it
has, ever held. The good fellowship
was enhanced this year by a series
of games and athletic events led by
F. B. Freeman of the Y. M. G. A.
The preachers took off their coats,
collars and ties, and played with
abandon. There was a ball game
each night in which the ministers
proved themselves to be no mean
players. The athletic feature was
largely new one and it's repetition
at next years conference it was re-
quested as most of the participant
learned games which they can teach
their boys of the church and the Sum
day School,
The attendance reached over the
hundred mark making it the largest
conference of it's kind in the United
States. The speakers pronounced
it the best in program and in spirit
that they had ever attended.
DIR. H. j. Patterson was reelected
President and permanent organi-
zation effected. The committee on
summary gave a report which is
found in full elsewhere in this issue.
The Country Life Movement has
as its object the developing of a
fuller and happier life for all people
in the country and especially a
square deal for the boys and girls.
The addresses of Claxton, Pearsons.
FELTON, and others all had in view
that very purpose and it is safe to
say the College Park effort has help
ed the country ministers in their diff
ficult work.

AS he was about to pass him, the
highwayman turned and struck him
in the face, knocking him down. He
then proceeded to rife his pockets
but was frightened by someone COM
ing down Pine street and hence did
not get Mr.. Burns watch and other
valuables. He ran down Coach
street and escaped. Mr.. Burn was
seriously injured in the struggle
sustaining a broken collar bone and
several severe decorations about the

the blow that he was unable to
recognize his assailant and cannot
give any definite description of him
other than what he saw before the
man turned around.-oxford News

Good Results From Spraying.

G. F. Marsh, County Agent, in co.
operation with Prof. C. I. Temple, of
the Maryland Agricultural College,
arranged for a spraying demon
stration for the control of brown
rot. scab. curculio ON peaches, and
coddling moth on apples, in the or
chard of Tome Institute, near Port
Deposit.
w. G. Gillespie, the manager, has
taken great interest in the demon
stration and will be glad to show the
trees to anyone interested.
Upon recent visit it was found
that the ground under the unsprayed
trees was covered with apples, while
there were very few under the spray
ed trees.
The fruit on the unsprayed peach
trees was badly stung with curculio,
and also covered with scab, while
that bane of the peach grower. brown
rot, was just beginning. The spray
ed trees showed very little effects
from curculio or scab, and no rot.
We would advise peach growers
to keep close watch on this orchard
during the season.

Drain the Wet Fields.

County Agent Marsh suggests that
anyone interested in the subject OF
draining should visit the farm OF
Mr. Howard Jackson, near Theodore,
A portion of one of his fields was
low and so wet that only in the very
dryest years would it produce a pay
ing crop.
Mr.. Jackson decided that he would
not have this land loafing any longen
so last spring dug an outlet through
a piece of woodland, put in a tile
drain, and now the best corn is grow
ing on what was almost worthless
land. In fact the line of tile can be
followed through the field by the
strip of strong vigereus corn.

It is known that it is fostered by
filth and follows lines of travel.

Do not travel, unless absolutely
necessary, into infected districts.
Children should not travel at all.
Keep visitors from infected dis

You will do these things after an
epidemic has started; it can be done
now without haste and without fear
and at less cost.
The cost of dead and crippled

Carnival At Pennington.

The carnival and festival at Farm

nings of last week was a very sue
cessful affair, and the young people
of Ebenezer M. E. church are much
gratified at the liberal patronage OF

evening was much against an outdoor
affair, but the carnival was held
according to schedule, with its many
pleasing entertainment features, etc.

ditions were ideal, with the moon
almost at full, and probably the
largest crowd ever seen at an affair
of the kind in the neighborhood was
in attendance. VIM. T. Warburton,
ESQ.,, of Elkton, delivered an unusu-
ally fine address, in which he COM
pared the era of years ago, with It's
pious, homeloving and building folk.
to that of the present restless, auto
enthused generation, bringing home
with a vividness some startling facts
relative to the headlong rush of these
pleasure-seeking times. Music was
furnished by Rising Sun Cornet
Band.
The several booths were prettiiy
Illuminated with Japanese lanterns
and thriving business done in the
sale of fancy articles. cakes, pies,
ice cream and other good things.
The gross receipts were $231.50, and
about $445 will be netted for the
