Meeting Of the Agricultural Society.
The annual meeting of the Mile
Laos County Agricultural society was
held at Mcmillan & Stanley's office
Tuesday afternoon. There was a
rather small attendance. R. D. Byers,
president, presided, as President
Bryson was absent.
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer were read and adopted
President Bryson and W. H. Smith
were appointed an auditing committee.
The following board of directors was
chosen for the ensuing year: S. S.
Peterson, w. H. Smith, Princeton VII
lage; Robert Clark, Greenbush; Geo.
Schmidt, Princeton town; A. P. Jor-
gensen, Kathio; S. Droogsma, Milo;
John P. Asp, Borgholm; H. F. Mann,
South Harbor; Harold Mudgett, Mud
gett; F. P. Morneau, Milaca village;
Clint Jump, Bogus Brook.
Touching references were made to
The late Charles Keith and tribute was
paid to his sterling worth and ability,
and on motion the following resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted: Z
Whereas, in the demise of our friend
and colleague, Charles Keith, this So
ciety has lost one of it's founders and a
valued member, who gave freely of his
time and means toward the upbuilding
of our annual fair and the promotion
Of the agricultural interests of the
county; therefore
Resolved, that we appreciate and
acknowledge the generous services he
has always willingly rendered this So
ciety, and we realize that to his wise
counsel, progressive spirit and unself-
ish interest are due, in no small mea-
sure, the success and permaneney Of
the county fair, hence we sincerely re-
gret his departure from our midst and
extend our sympathy to his surviving
relatives;
Resolved, that these resolutions be
spread upon the records Of the society,
published in the Princeton Union, and
engrossed copies sent to his widow and
son.
The directors present then proceed
ed to elect the executive officers Of the
society and the old officers were unani-
mously chosen, to-wit: Andrew Bry-
son, president; R. D. Byers, vice-pres-
ident; C. A. Jack, treasurer; Ira G.
Stanley, secretary.
Financially the society is no better
off than it was a year ago. The re-
port shows resources exceed liabilities
by $4,123.65, but ways and means
should be devised to reduce the cash
Indebtedness, which is in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000.
It is altogether possible that
special meeting of the society will be
held next May or June, when a fuller
attendance can be secured, and the
question Of iquidating the indebted
ness will be considered more fully, also
an effort will be made to stir up more
general interest in the fair next year.

| Death has again invaded the ranks
of the pioneers, and Charles Keith is
no more. He passed away on the
morning of the 3Oth ult.
For more than two weeks Judge
Keith had been seriously i'll, but there
had been a marked improvement for
the better in his condition, and he had
been sitting up in an easy chair for
several days receiving his friends, all
Of whom thought he was on the road
to complete recovery, and when the
end came SO suddenly and unexpeeteo-
1y they were grieved and shocked be
You'd measure. Numerous friends had
called on him Thanksgiving day, and
to all of them he talked in a pleasant
and optimistic vein. But he was some
what restless throughout the night, and
about 6 o'clock ON Friday morning,
while his devoted wife, who had been
unremitting in her care and attention
to him throughout his illness, was CIV
ing him drink Of water he suddenly
threw back his head, gasped once or
twice, and all was over. His heart
had ceased to perform it's functions.
Until the illness that preceded his
death Judge Keith had enjoyed ex-
ceptionally good health; barring an oe-
casional cold he had not been indis-
posed for more than fifty years.
Sunday afternoon friends were af-
forded an opportunity to view the re-
mains at the family observation-disclosures
were no other services In compliance
with an oft-expressed wish of the de-
ceased, the body was taken to his boy
hood home in Pennington, Maine,
there to be laid at rest in the old
family burying ground-the funeral
party, which is composed Of Mrs.
Keith, Fred Keith, the only son, Mr..
E. L. Mcmillan, and Miss Anna Simp-
son of Minneapolis, the latter partic-
ular friend of the family, expect to
reach there this, Thursday, afternoon.
Charles Keith was born at Farming
ton, Maine, March 21st, 1851. He re-
ceived his education at the local high
school and Pennington Academy. He
came to Princeton in January, 1873.
He was an expert timber cruiser and
surveyor and did not lack for re-
munerative employment. Later he en-
t1n
company with R. F. Mcclellan. He
acquired considerable land which in
those days was considered of small
value save for the timber growing
thereon, but since then has become
valuable. He had large and varied
business interests, especially in real
estate and banking-he was actively
identified with the First National Bank
of Princeton, the First National Bank
Of Milaca, First National Bank of
Cambridge and First National of Mora.
He had studied law and was admitted
to the bar quarter of a century ago,
and as an authority on real estate and
corporation law he had few equals.
He had held many public positions
and every duty imposed upon him was
always efficiently and conscientiously
discharged. For ten successive years
1877 to 1887-he was Judge of Pro-
bate, and positively refused to longer
hold the office. He was appointed

Home Guard Smoke Social, Etc.

The Home Guard smokefest, drill

Der Of people to the armory last night.
Drill Instructor Henry Shockley put
the irregulars through their facings
but it was not found necessary to tie
wisps Of hay and straw about their
ankles. The company is not in the
"hayfoot, strawfoot" class.
The basket ball game was a thriller
from beginning to end, each side doing
its utmost to get the goat of the other.
The contest was between the High
School and the Home Guard teams and
at the end Of the first half the score
stood 8 to 7 in favor Of the first named.
Eighteen and II was the final score,
the school team winning. The lineup

other plant food available, cannot begin
to take the place of manure. Figuring
the value of sheep manure on the basis
of plant food that it contains, that is;
Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash,
it is worth over twice as much as the
manure from cattle. The dotal eXcre-
ment from single sheep is estimated
at about 1900 lbs. The Pennsylvania
experiment station estimates this to be
worth about $500 based upon the 1915
selling prices Of fertilizer. Today it
would be worth more.
The men most fitted to judge con-
dtions of the cattle market are the
men in charge of the various stock
yards throughout the country. They
are doing all in their power to secure
more sheep. They feel the shortage
and realize the Importance of increas-
ing the growing of sheep in the East
ern states. The L. S. Government has
withdrawn the land from the use of the
rangers of the west. In the past they
had been grazing sheep on Government
land at a cost of 50 cents head per
year. This will curtail the growing of
sheep in those sections. The men who
are going to make the most money on
the amount invested are the men who
start small. 1t is not necessary, nor is
it advisable to start with pure bred
flock. 1t is a known fact that a man
can improve his flock by the use of
pure bred rams.
Frank Kleinheinz, one of the most
noted sheep men Of today is quoted as
saying, "Mismanagement is the cause
of most hard luck" Is he right?

RULES ON PLANTING TREES
ALONG ROADS.
Action For Preservation of High
ways Taken By State Com
mission.

Regulations prohibiting the planting
of trees along state roads throughout
Maryland within "a feet from the CEN
ter of the roadwavs have been promul-
gated by the State Roads Commission.
While the bodybuilding body has signi-
fled its willingness to cooperate with
State Forester Besley in the propaga-
ton of trees for shade purposes, it feels
that some set rule must be established
regarding tree planting in connection
with protection of the highways.
Tests and an investigation by Chief
Engineer Shirley, of the commission,
have shown that when shade trees grow
to a large size Immediately adjacent to
highways they interfere with drainage
of the roads and water dropping from
the trees together with the shade given
by the branches causes the tar carpet
to ret and slough off.
Chairman Zouck has sent a letter to
Forester Besley, informing him OF the
commissions action, but stating that
his board is entirely willing to cooper
ate on the tree-planting plan by which
each section Of the state is to be sup,
piled with young trees gratis.
Discussing the situation Chairman
Zouck said:
1--WE have had number of requests
from various parts of the state for per-
mission to plant trees along the state
highways, the various communities de-
string to take advantage of State For
ester Besley's generous offer to furnish
a mile Of trees in each county. In view
of these requests, it became necessary
for the State Roads Commission to take
some action in connection with this mat
ter. and resolution has been passed
by the commission which prohibits the
planting within "a feet from the center
of the roadways.
''Shade trees are all right and would
be quite an ornament for our state
roads, but if tLey are planted closer
than "a feet, when they become large
they will interfere with the drainage of
the road, and the water dripping from
the trees, together with the shade, will
keep the roads wet for a long while af-
ter rain, and this will injure the tar
red surface and cause it to rot and
slough off. For these reasons we
thought it wise to establish some rule
in connection with this matter in order
that there will be no trouble or confu-
SIGN later on.

EVANSVILLE GETS
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Town to Vote April 2 on Water
and Sewer System.

The busy little town Of Grantsville is
to have electric lights both for mean
descent purposes and street lighting.
The contract was signed last Wednes-
day by Mayor H. c. Bong, of Grants
vile, with the Boynton. Electric Com
pany, of Boynton, Pa. The company
has already erected their poles from
West Salisbury to the borough limits of
Grantsville, but due to q misunderstand-
ing between the electric company and
Mayor Bong the work of erecting poles
and wires through the borough has
been delayed.
The work of stringing wires from
West Salisbury to Grantsville and the
installation of the system in the Dor
ough limits will be started at once and
rushed to completion. Since the COM
p!etion of the macadam road over the
old National Pike through the Garrett
county town it has put on new airs and
is fast coming to the front as one of
the finest summer resorts in Western
Maryland.
Feeling that they will also be bene-
fitted both IN health and insurance
rates as well as to enjoy the great ad-
vantages the citizens have also decided
to install water and sewer system.
At the last session of the Maryland
legislature bill was passed to allow
them to vote on bonds for these i'm
provements and an election for this
purpose will be held Monday April 2.
There is little opposition against the
movement and it is thought the issue
will pass by very large majority.

Dear Parents:-
We would desire to emphasize the
real honor there is in finding ones
name on an honor roll for six weeks, a
term and year. This part of the re-
port is one that should interest every
parent in our community. If the name
of child does not appear on the honor
roll it indicates that some careless habit
is being formed, the child has been
either absent or tardy from school,
without any valid excuse being offered.
These bad habits formed in childhood
cannot be broken in later life. and they

The Sheep Situation.

We closed last week by doubling the
ACCESSIBILITY Of starting into the sheep
growing business while breeding ewes
are so high. With such an enormous
shortage there is little likelihood of
prices taking much of drop for several
years to come. Suppose your ewes do
cost you $1,000 per head, which is the
February high quotation for breeding
ewes. These ewes are gong to either
serve you for several years, or else be
marketed by you the following year at
good prices, Fat ewes, according to
the same quotation are bringing $40. so.
Barring dog troubles you should be able
to raise $50 per cent. lambs. That is
Il lambs per eve. Choice lambs brought
$l5.25 in February at Pittsburgh. We
will not put it so high, I doubt if they
fall much below $500, but to be on the
safe side we will figure on last years
prices. a eve and her offspring can be
given excellent feed and care for 5000
year. This figure is high. l know of
men in this county who get good re-
suits at much lower cost. 1t is a poor
eve that will not clip lbs. of wool. By
good breeding and care they can easily
be made to do considerably better.
From these figures the total income
would be:
