The United States Government

appropriate ceremonies.
Hundreds of men are pushing the
work of building roads, erecting

Special trains are being run from
Baltimore and returning in the eve

number of workmen on the job.
There are probably 5000 people
who will be required to move from
heir homes and with them, it Is
estimated over 10000 head of stock,
and just how this stock will be dis
posed of is serious problem. Sheep,
hogs and cattle could probably be
slaughtered, although in these days
Of conservation these methods are
being discountenced by Mr.. Hoover's
officials.
To dispose of horses and mules at
this season, means distinct loss, as
they will not bring anything like
their value.

notified to vacate at once, leaving
large crops of corn in the field UNI

THE LIBERTY LOAN.
Cecil County Makes Patriotic Show
ing-Stood Third On Eastern
Shore

That the directors of the Liberty
Loan campaign in Cecil county put
a lot of pep" in the drive to have
our county do her share in subscrib-
ing to the Loan is shown by the
result, as Cecil stood third on the
Eastern Shore and eighth in the
State for amount subscribed. -Four
banks in the county exceeded their
maximum apportionment.
The total amount subscribed, in
Cecil county for the second Liberty
Loan was $4,000. This exceeds
the minimum quota for the county,
which was 1911 900.
Compared with the total amount
subscribed in the county last June
for the first Liberty Loan, $261, 900,
it will be seen that our county re-
sponded in patriotic manner, and
did it's bit for the popular loan.
In the State of Maryland the total
subscription amounted to about
$54,00O,000.
