Reasons Why You Should Patronize
this Horse.
He is an extra good individual and
represents the most popular breed in
the country today. His pedigree repre-
sents the best blood of his breed. His
quality is unsurpassed and he has the
best disposition Of any stallion in the
country. He transmits this disposition
to his colts. He is tried horse and
sure foal getter His colts are easy to
sell and bring good prices; they have
high life, plenty of vim, but are easy to
handle. He will stay here and give you
chance to breed to him again.
We will exercise the greatest care in
handling mares. but will not be respon-
sible for accidents.

No New County Possible.

Many natives might not recognize
Durham, Providence, Patuxent and
Potomac as the names of Maryland
counties. But these counties were
formerly on the roll, although Durham
was never fully organized and was never
represented in the General Assembly.
Old Wicomico and Old Charles counties
were entirely different from the
Wicomico and Charles counties of today,
Old Wicomico and Durham counties
were created at the instigation Of the
Lord Proprietary in an effort to retain
control of Delaware. the former in
Guiding the southern part of that state
and the latter the northern part. But
in 1850 the Lord High Chancellor decid-
ed the famous law suit of the Balti-
mores and the Pcnns in favor of the
latter, and Durham and Old Wicomico
counties after that existed only as
memories of our stirring colonial days.
Providence, Patuxent and Potomac
were the names given to Anne Arundel,
Calvert and st. Mary's counties, re-
spectiyely, by the Cromwelllans, who
controlled MARYLAND from 1854 TO 1858,
and endeavored to eradicate all that
savored of the rule of the Baltimores.
The history Of the Maryland counties
is remarkable, as each has its own
reason for eXistance and is intertwined
with chapter in the romantic annals
of the State. 1t is because of this
peculiar individuality of the counties
that the State Constitution has been
so framed to prevent any of them from
being further cut up or divided with
out referendum to the persons to be
affected. AS no new county can be
created with less than 400 square miles,
the erection Of a new county is
practically impossible,

little of it at the time, but aces ling

was noised about that Townley- had

notes for money to start farmers

several notes, it leaked out that they
were not meeting with the success

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE SERIOUS
NESS OF SITUATION, SAYS A
MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN MAN.

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 13.-The
shortage of corn seed in the northwest
is so serious that the government
should step in at once to help the sit
uation, in the opinion of C. G. Massie,
president of local seed concern, and
member of the War Service Com
mittee Of the American Seed Trade
association. Mr.. Massie, today, re-
turned from Washington, where he
conferred with government officials on
the subject. r..
According to Mr.. Massie, govern
ment employees must be placed in the
field to take samples and see that all
corn usable for seed is placed in stor-
and properly cured to preserve what
ever vitality and termination power is
left. Frosts early in September, and
again in October, he said, had dam
aged thousands of acres as far south
as Nebraska and Illinois, and few peo-
pie realize the seriousness of the sit
uation in the northwest.
"Our investigators report that the
seed corn crop this year, is the worst
in history" he said.

We published our article in good faith,

along these lines.

we are delighted that Mr.. Towniey

tomatically becomes a. member. The
local ASSOCIATION has applied for terri
tory that will embrace ten townships
