MAN WHO MADE EGYPT
is DEAD IN LONDON
Earl of Cromer Achieved World
Fame as a Genius in Adj
ministration.

LONDON, January 30.-Evelyn Barring
first Earl of Cromer, former British
agent and consul general in Egypt
died suddenly yesterday afternoon. He
had been i'll for some time.
He was appointed British agent and
consul general in Egypt in 1888, but
resigned in 1907, owing to i'll health
1t was said that Earl Cromer's sway
in Egypt had been almost as absolute
as that of an emperor. 1t was de-
clared to have been record of genius
in administration to the minutest de-
tail. Evelyn Barring in 1850 was made
a financial member of the council of
India at the age of thirty-nine, and
by dint of successful work three years
later was sent to Cairo. In bankrupt
Egypt he did wonders in reducing taxa
ton to minimum, abolishing forced
labor and placing the country on pay
ing basis. In 1892 he was raised to
the peerage and in 1901 was made an
earl.
One of the principal works of Earl
Cromer in Egypt was the irrigation
system, considered model of the
world. Since the outbreak of the pres
ent war Earl Cromer has contributed
numerous articles concerning impor-
tant happenings. In July of last year
he was appointed chairman of a COM
mission to investigate the Dardanelles
campaign.

MAY CALL LEGISLATURE
Governor Considering Extra
Session to Provide Money.

An extra session of the Legislature
is something more than a possibility,
owing to the practical certainty that
when Congress convenes IN specia
session on April there will be either
declaration of war or a statement
that state of war exists because OF
Germany's acts.
Governor Harrington stated yester-
day that there was no immediate need
for an extra session, but that the stu
alton easily might take such form as
to necessitate one. The principal rea-
son for an extra session, so far as can
be seen now would be to supply money
for the militia. No additional money
Is required at the moment, but at most
any time very considerable outlay,
over and above that provided in the
appropriations of the last Legislature,
may become imperative.
Already the Governor has been Of
fered 100000, without security, for
the use of the State in an emergency
by two banks-the Union Trust Com
pany of Baltimore and the Second Ma
tional Bank of Cumberland, acting
separately. There is some doubt in
his mind whether he should accept the
offers If the pinch comes.
Governor Harrington has practical
ly decided to organize a home guard
The State troops, when called out,
will be under the control Of the Fed.
eral Government and cannot be de-
pended upon for service within the
borders of the State. The home guard
really will be the State militia. This
new organization, which probably will
have several thousand members, will
need equipment and supplies costing
a considerable sum. If it were called
into service the outlay for it would be
increased heavily. This is but one OF
the wavs in which the State probably
viii have to spend money.
PRESIDENT Campbell of the State
Senate said that he thought it very
likely special session would have to
be called. He thought it would not
have to sit longer than one week, as
the needed militia bills could be pre-
pared in advance by the State authori-
ties and submitted the first day and
could be put through the three read
ings expeditiously.
The Legislature would have to or
ganize anew, it is said, the presiding
and desk officers of the last regular
session not holding oyer. There is not
much doubt that the old officials would
be reelected, except, perhaps, Speaker
Laird, who is now a member of the
Public Service Commission.

0. H. S. Notes.

Maryland Day, for which the Yorkist
Society had arranged program, was
one of sadness rather than one of re-
joicing for the High School, in that the
funeral of the late Mr.. Edward H,
Smouse, the father of Ellen and Oliver
members of the second year class took
place at that time.
Sarah Maroney, whose funeral took
place on Tuesday morning from the
Catholic church, was largely attended
by the pupils from the school OF which
she was former pupil. The faculty
and students join in expressing their
sympathy and coincidence to both these
families in the hour of their bereave-
ment.
The High School was visited last
Thursday by Mr.. A. G. Middleton,
County Agent, who came to organize a
Boys Agricultural Club.
The purpose of organizing an Agri-
cultural Club is to acquaint the boys
with farm conditions. Every one is
familiar with the great drift of farm
boys to the cities and towns. The chief
reason for this, as we all know, Is that
the boys have been having better times
in the city than the boys on the farm.
The United States Government in CO.
operation with the State Government
is trying to meet this situation and is
getting the best results by forming
boys clubs.
The fact that the boys appreciate the
efforts of the Government is shown by
their desire to organize clubs and pur-
sue the work of the club diligently.
Any boy that shows the proper in
terest is eligible to compete in the crop
and stock contest must be between the
ages of 10 and years.
The club meets at least once month
and renders a program which include
talks on agriculture subjects, and any
other form of entertainment the mem
bers may see fit to have.
The following boys volunteered to
form Boys Agricultural Club: Paul
Ashby, Uriel Cheuvront, Ralph Davis,
Joseph Foley, Robert Ford, Paul Frazee,
Ries Friend, Herschel Harvey, Leo
Helbig, Morgan Hinebaugh, Carleton
Hinebaugh, Edward Kahl. Frank Lyon,
Britten Martin, Wyant McCrobie,
Arthur Michael, Townshend Naylor,
Delbert Payton, Robert Porter, Paul
Riley, Ralph Robinson, Edward Scott,
Donald Sincell, Oliver Smouse, Adna
Sterling, Wilhelm Weber, Gilbert
Yutzv.
An election was held and the follow
ing officers were elected: President
Herschel Harvey; vice president. Edward
Scott; secretary Frank M. Lyon.

SOIL INVESTIGATION FOR
GARRETT COUNTY.
BY COUNTY AGENT MIDDLETON.

The Maryland State Legislature
through a special appropriation has
recently provided funds for soil fertility
investigations to be concluded under
the supervision of the Experiment
Station. The Experiment Station has
decided to spend large portion of this
establishing Experimental Fields in
representative soil types IN different
counties. Garrett county has been
offered the opportunity of having one
of these experiments. 1t rests with
the farmers of the county as to whether
or not we get it.
1t seems that while the Legislature
has provided funds for carrying on these
experiments it has made it necessary
for the county wishing to have such
experiments to furnish free of cost to
the Experiment Station the necessary
land. The section of the reading as
follows:
Section 3, Be it enacted that the
conduct of the investigations, herein
provided for, field experiments other
than those on property owned by the
State of Maryland, shall be undertaken
only on fields or plats which have been
furnished for that purpose without cost
to the Board of Trustees of the Mary
land State College"
The funds for this purpose are
limited and as result every county
will not be able to secure one of the
Investigations. Our County Agent has
gone ahead and made arrangements
for Mr.. Mccall, of College Park, who
will be In charge of this work, to come
to Oakland on Wednesday, April 4th, to
meet committee and explain to 1t in
detail how the work is to be carried
out. ANY of our farmers who are
interested will be welcome to attend
the meeting which will take place in
the Court House at 1870 p. m.

the institutes are held. All teachers
will note carefully the radical changes
in the schedule as first announced; the
sessions are to be held practically one
week earlier than previously announc-
ed. All school exhibits at the above
schools are to be kept intact until after
these institutes are held. Each teacher
should attend one and only one of these

Travels of County Agent Mid
dletOn.

Last week County Agent Middleton
visited the farm of D. 0. Thayer in
company with the local veterinarian
and spent few minutes discussing
things in general with Mr.. Thayer.
The County Agent also visited Mr..
H. l.. Porter, near Weber Mr.. Porter
is considering the running of a potato
demonstration IN cooperation with the
Experiment Station.
Out near McHenry the County Agent
found Mr.. A. C. Smith, one of the
County Commissioners. clearing a
large pile of stones and a number of
stumps from his field. We feel sure
that Mr.. Smith will feel well repaid for
his labor.
Mr.. Smith asked the County Agent
to attend a meeting of the people of the
vicinity of Deep Creek school on Tues
day, April 3rd, to meet the people and
explain to them the work of the County
Agent. The County Agent will be there.

Wreck on The Grade.

By reason of the derailment of ten
cars at Bear Hollow, on the Seventeen
Mile Grade, Monday morning at an
early hour, traffic was tied up until

entailing a loss of several thousand
dollars to the railway company. Train

morning, did not reach here until noon
of that day, while train No. 2, gong
east, did not get by the wreck until
about the same hour.
