KITCHEN WRECKED BY STOVE.
MRS. E. W.. VOGEL NARROWLY
.1s ESCAPES INJURY WHEN
RANGE EXPLODES
Stove is Blown Through Side of
House and Lids and Pots Are Stuck
in Walls and Ceiling Negro Hit
by Flying Missile. I

Mrs. E. w. Vogel, who lives at the
corner of Hampton Avenue >and Sa-
lem Avenue, this morning had a mar
row escape from injury, and possibly
death, when a range over which she
had been cooking breakfast exploded
with terrific noise and played hav-
oc with the kitchen and other parts
of the house.
Part of the stove was blown
through the wainscoating and wealth
erboarding out into the yard, tearing
a hole in the wall big enough for two
large men to pass through. The pots,
kettles and lids on the stove were
blown against the ceiling or walls,
breaking the plastering and lathing
at many places, some of the pieces
being left sticking in the walls and
ceiling. Some of the things on the
stove were blown out into the yard
and the food which was cooking on
and in the stove was scattered all
over the kitchen and yard. One of
the sashes near the stove was blown
completely out and every pane of
glass in the other windows was
smashed. The window panes in the
dining room adjoining were also
broken and some Of those in upstairs
rooms were broken.
Mrs. Vogel had been cooking break
fast on the stove when it began to
pop and becoming frihtened, she
caught up a young child which was
in the kitchen, and ran into the ad-
joining room. She had hardly slam
med the door when the explosion
came and the destruction was done.
Fire caught from the stove, but was
extinguished with very little damage
from it.
The whole neighborhood was arous-
ed by the explosion and rushed to
the scene, to find the damage already
done. The children were sent to a
neighbor's for breakfast and Mr.. and
Mrs Vogel were sent breakfast by
neighbors.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by the pipes from the
boiler being frozen, preventing the
water from running. When the fire
was made in the stove and the pipes
got hot the explosion resulted. The
boiler itself was not damaged. 1t was
left standing in it's place, although
the pipes connecting it with the range
were broken off.
One negro who was just coming
into the kitchen as the explosion
occurred, complained of being hit by
flying missile, but his injury was
not serious one.-Sumter Item.

Agent and the Director of Extension,
which l suppose is public property
by this time, that could not get the
proper assistance from either.
In some way the State Agent felt
sighted in not being properly con-
suited in my appointment and the
fact that was interested in women's
work and gave the woman state
agent, whom the Director was try
ing to remove and believe has since
succeeded, all the help possible in
her work and also in interesting the
people in woman county agent, put
him against me. So it will be seen
that my work was handicapped by
not having the cooperation of either
the Department at Washington or of
the Agricultural College at College
Park as l went along and attended
to my work and would not play poll
tics for either of them. So they
were both after me and all the work
that was done was due entirely to
the loyal support of my good friends
in the County. Contrary to general
impression the County Commission
ers had nothing to do with my leave.

AVOID PREJUDICE.
II Is an Evil Thing That Warps Judg-
ment and Breeds Injustice.


Prejudice Is an insidious thing. 1t
creeps into the soul unaware. 1t leads
us to say and do wrong things; it
warps our judgment and leads to in
justice, unkindness and even cruelty.
1t paves the way for hatred and NAL
ice. In proportion as we learn to clear
our minds of prejudice we become bet
ter men and women; we win friends
and dissolve enmities; we are more
worthy of respect and confidence.
No one wants to be judged by false
standards that prejudice sets up. Be-
ware of judging others in such light
Prejudice cramps the mind and the
heart; it stands in the way of rightful
growth of character. 1t is wise to
search your heart and if you find pref
udice there to set about to root 1t out
wholly.
Do not be sure you Of all men are
unprejudiced. That is the danger for
prejudice is guarded by vanity. Seek
to be just in all things, small as well
as great. IL all the relations of life be
sure you are not judging another, not
for his error, but from your prejudice.
For the worst thing about this weak
ness IS that it breeds injustice and un-
kindness and malice. 1t hurts innocent
folk and makes no one happier.-Mil-
waukee Sentinel.

Letter From Former County Agent.

Editor Midland Journal,

Clarksburg, Ont. July IL, 1917.
Editor Midland Journal,
Rising Sun, Md.
Dear Sir
| AS l have received a number of
! letters from my friends in Cecil
County making inquiries as to why
I left so suddenly, and in some cases
| was adversely critized, as they
thought that l should have remained
until my successor was ready to take
up the work. l would be pleased if
YOU would let them know through
your paper the causes.
l would state that in February
when my year was up, the County
Commissioners offered me 100000
more if I would provide an automo-
bile, supply Office and furniture and
fixtures and pay hotel bills. l could
not see my way clear to accept this
proposition, but as there was a bill
in the House increasing the salary of
County Agents, I stayed on at the
old rate of salary for two months
until it was definitely passed. l then
accepted from the Government the
proposition on condition that l re.
ceive the increase when the money
was available. On the first OF
October, when the money was avail
able, the Director of Extension broke
the contract by refusing to give me
the increase, in spite of the fact that
had gone to the expense of buying
an automobile and furnishing an
office, accepting the contract in good
faith.
Under these. conditions l did not
consider it my duty to stay, so left
at once. l was ready, in fact anxious,
to stay and finish my contract, as I
had gone to large amount of eX-
pense and was much interested III
the work and felt that I was doing
good.
regretted leaving the work in
such an unfinished condition and
also that the $4,000 subscribed by
the banks for prizes for the corn club
boys was not collected and the boys
were greatly disappointed, as they
had been expecting it.
The above statement will set me
right with my many good friends III

work was not done was on account

What Thrift Means.

Thrift is positively essential to sue
cess, and every American wants to be
successful A man should put his own
name on his list Of creditors. He
should cut down his expenditures 10
per cent and pay that amount to him
self. ANY business should pay 10 per
cent and man should consider him
self business proposition which
should pay dividends. When he begins
to see this be VIII become thrifty. 1t
has been estimated that if man who
begins to work at the age of twenty on
a salary of $50 month and receives
an increase of $5 each year for forty
years will save 10 per cent of his sal
ary and invest it wisely or put it in a
savings bank at compound interest, at
the end of that time he will be tinan-
cially independent and can retire with
a comfortable income.

DA|RYMEN FIND
S|LOS NECESSARY
Economic Feed and Labor
Under War Conditions.
They Can Be Cheaply and Satisfae-
torily Built BY the Farmer
Himself.

College Park, July 26.-In co-opera'
ton with the several County Demon
stration Agents, the Maryland Agricul-
tural Extension Service is urging the
building of silos by the dairymen Of
the State. When grain is SO high in
price 1t becomes necessary for every
dairyman to feed his cows some cheap
er feed. No better feed for dairy cows
has been found than silage. II you
have as many as ten cows on your
place, you should plan to have silo
A COW will use about tons of silage
ground you can grow to 10 tons OF
silage and possibly more. Neither will
building silo cost anywhere near as
much as the expensive feeding OF
grain. Write to your County Demon
stration Agent, asking him to furnish
you plans for building silo and an
estimate of what 1t will cost. If you
do not know Who your Agent is, write
to the Maryland Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, College Park, Md. Your
County Agent will not only furnish
plans for building silo, but will come
to your farm and see that the work is
properly started.
In this connection, G. e. Wolcott,
dairy specialist for the Extension
Service, recommends a cheap and
satisfactory type of silo that meets
the needs of the practical dairyman.
Mr.. Wolcott says: "a cheap silo that
will keep silage perfectly and last for
seevral years can be made by mailing
the best grade of flooring to wooden
hoops. The hoops are made of green
white oak strips. one-half inch thick
and four inches wide. The length OF
