THOUSANDS To SEE
PARADE ON JUNE 3fd
New Orleans Will Demonstrate Its
Feeling on Preparedness
CONFEDERATE VETERANS TO
BE GUESTS OF HONOR
Railroads from All Over the South
Will Bring Thousands of People
in New Orleans for Big Parade

New Orleans, May 24.-New Or
leans will attest its devotion to the
cause of national preparedness June
3rd when it is expected that more
than $4,000 of its citizens will march
through the streets in a great Pre-
paredness Parade. The demonstra-
ton will be the most impressive and
largest ever held in the South. It
will be the South's second largest
seaport's declaration of devotion to
the Nation and its preservation.
Leading men, earnest women and
folks of high and lowly station are
at work to make the demonstration
a success. To make the movement
national and to show the world
that Americas citizenry stands for
proper preparedness the Cities of
Milwaukee, St Louis. Cleveland, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Des Moines,
Joliet, Grand Rapids and others will
parade on June 3rd.
Shoulder to shoulder in New Or
leans, will march men Of every
walk Of life, bank presidents,
clerks, and railroad presidents will
touch elbows with their workers
while professional men, society
women and factory girls, the lead
ers and the led in all walks of life,
will catch step and form a most i'm
pressive picture.
Confederate Veterans alone will
be permitted to ride-everyone else
will walk. No uniform, regalia or
insignia will detract from the big
motive of the marching--the idea
of a civic devotion to national pre-
paredness. No advertisements of
any kind will be permitted. Uni
forms will be limited to the bands,
militia and Confederate Veterans.
American flags which have been
purchased from funds contributed
by the populace of the City, will
be carried on the shoulder of each
marcher. Lapel buttons with a
waving American flag alone will be
allowed.
Scores of Red Cross nurses will
be on hand to take care of any
emergency. The procession is ex-
pected to go forward with military
precision. Forming places of all
units r now being chartered on a
map by tae City engineer. Tele-
phones will be stationed along the
streets and with the assistance of
Boy Scouts messages will be deliv-
cred to each unit.
The executive committee in
charge Of the affair includes such
men as Frank B. Hayne, Chairman;
Philip Wer1ein, Secretary and j. G.
Pepper, Treasurer and Col. w. C.
Dufour, Grand Marshal.

siastically endorsed the movement
and will take active part.
Every railroad will run excur-
sions to New Orleans and the earni-
val crowds are expected to be
heavily exceeded.

Lum's Peaches.

We have large crop of fine peaches
and we want to sell as many as possible
right here at the orchard. Saves time
and expense that way, and we will give
you the benefit of this saving.
These peaches are produced by
modern orchard methods, are large in
size, highly colored and of delicious
flavor. Our patrons of last year will
need no reminder of their high quality.
Our farm is easily accessible to auto
mobiles and wagons. The first variety
ripens about August Ist, and from then
until September 10th we will have a
constant supply.

AS To That Reassessment.
CoIora. Md.
July oath, 1916

July Gath, 1916
Dear Editors: Seeing statement
in last weeks issue of your paper to
the effect that the County Commits
sioners had nothing to do with, or
were not in favor of the increase
proposed in the coming re-assess-
ment of real property in Cecil County
your correspondent begs to ask our
Honorable County Commissioners,
why, since they knew the farmers
are already taxed to their capacity,
they agreed with the State Tax Com
mission to put over this new burden
on their constituents.
why were they summoned to
Joint session in Balto., if they did
not have voice and vote on this
question?
Surely the County Representatives
of the respective Boards of Commits
sioners from all the twenty-three
Counties in the State must have been
majority; and majorities rule, or
should rule.
Please tell us also, while answer
ing the above question whence
arises the need for raising the assess
ment on the farmers.
The new State Tax Commission
was created to get at what was
alleged to be a vast amount of Real
Estate, chiefly in and around Baito..
city and the large towns of the state,
that was under-valued for taxable
purposes. Now, they no doubt find
ing this property in the holding OF a
CLIQUE of moneyed-men who are able
to keep down the assessment, come
back on the poor farmers who must
always be made the goat, and bear
the brunt in the long run.
In all probability the men who got
up the bill originally, knew how it
would ultimately work out, and
where it would strike. And is not
this another evidence of the long
drawn out folly of rural commun-
tiles sending lawyers to the legisla-
ture to make up and place new bur-
dens on the backs of the people!
Did not this same State Tax Com
mission have two very able lawyers,
Senator Beck from Kent, and Sen
ator Hammond from Howard, to
steer it? And mind you these
gentlement were members OF the
legislature that Grated the bill, and
got the paltry sum Of $4,000 apiece
for their council to the State Tax
Board.

four acres of wheat near Millway. A

communicated to the grain which because
of its ripeness burned like chaff.

Former Director Of Tome 1mSClCuUe
Killed BY Electric Shock.
Bishop William Perry Eveland. of
the Methodist Church in southern
Asia, was electrocuted near Mount
Holly Springs, just south of Carlisle,
Pa, Monday evening thru the con-
tact Of a steel fishing rod with a
high-tension electric wire carrying
10000 volts.
Starting out on short fishing trip,
Bishop Eveland coursed along
Mountain run, just outside of Mount
Holly. His family fearing, when he
had not returned by O'Clock, that
he might have suffered from the eff
eects of a minor nasal operation
lately performed, began a search
which extended until after noon
Tuesday. 1t occupied the attention
of several hundred citizens in a
driving rain.
Charles Cohill, of Mount Holly,
accidentally ran across the bishops
body in high weeds near the bank
OF Mountain run. An apparent con-
vulsion indicated great shock. and
an examination, showing one of the
OF the bishops hands to have been
scared evidently by contact with the
steel rod and poorly insulated high
tension wire hanging eight or nine
feet above the stream, disclosed how
the distinguished clergyman had
come to his death.
Bishop Eveland served two years
as Director of Jacob Tome Institute,

CORRESPONDENCE.

Letter From Former Cecil COuntian.
Mr.. Jos. A. Roman, former resi-
dent of this section, in renewing his
subscription, sends us the following
news from the other side Of the
continent:
Oregon City, Oregon,
July 18th, 1916
Midland Journal
Enclosed is my sub. for the coming
year. The season is late and very
wet. This month so far beats the
record for rain. The belief. common
here, that it is always safe to cut
grass for hay any time after the 4th
day of July, has been badly shaken
and many tons of hay spoiled in the
fields. The corn planted for the
silos has made poor growth, owing
to the cool nights and lack of sun
shine. Potatoes and all root crops
promise to excel over the usual big
crop of this valley. The fruit crop
will be below the average. Many
cherries were cracked open and
spoiled by the rains. The political
pot is boiling but it is hard to arouse
the old time enthusiasm.
With best wishes for your con-
tinued success,
/ am as ever your friend,

A 100 million dollar wage increase for

The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without clear mandate from public tri-

The railroads have proposed the settle
