Ha9erStOWn'S Growth.

Walter B. Mobley, of Hagerstown,
who has for some years been in charge
of the preparation of the data for the
Franklin Directory Co., which publishes
a directory of Hagerstown. has just COM
pleted the preliminary work for the next
directory and states that he finds that
Hagerstown has a population of 26,428.
Of these 1922 are males and 1886
females. The population of Frederick
at the last census was about IL 900.
Two years ago when Mr.. Mobley COL
lected data for directory for Hagers-
town he found the population was "a, ,0s3,
so that this year there is gain of 1924.
a gain of more than 1,l50 year, tre-
mendous increase.
Mr.. Mobley stated he was impressed
with the number of new names in the
town. While he stated he had kept no
record he feels confident the next direct
ory will contain at least 200 new family
names.
Mr.. Mobley also commented upon the
very few vacant houses in Hagerstown
and likewise on the absence of building
operations, stating that aside from two
lots of houses being erected, there is
scarcely any building.

Milk Or No Milk.

For some time past producers of milk
in various portions of Maryland have
been asking and working for raise in
the price of their products.
Dairymen of Carroll county state they
will not fill their slos with corn unless
they get more money during the fall and
winter months.
Mr.. R. Rush Lewis, of Frederick, one
of the largest dairymer in the county,
declines to make raise in the price of
milk, claiming milk can be produced for
the prevailing price of 8 cents per quart
At Cumberland the dairymen asked a
maximum temperature of 62 degrees
and the bachterial limit raised to 300, 900,
or double the present standard. They
were informed by the health authorities
that their request could not be granted.
A large number of dealers refused to
bring milk to the city.

Cannot Haul Frei9ht.

The firm of D. V. Beachley & Bro, of
Middletown. has been denied the privilege
of operating freight bus between Mid
dletown and Frederick city, the Public
Service Commission so ruling last week.
1t is claimed by the Commission that
ample provision has already been made
for hauling by the H. & F. railway and
held that it was unfair to permit any
competitor to enter the field.
While the freight bus was in business
between Frederick and Thurmont the
railroad was troubled with very little
local freight, and likely the same condi-
tions would prevail if freight was carried
by auto truck between Frederick and
Middletown. While the freight rate was
about the same on both routes, the fact
that goods was delivered at your door
amounted to considerable saving to our
merchants.

Suggestions Regarding The
Labor Situation.
BY p. A. Hauyer. County Agent

tBy p. A. Hauyer. County Agent
Without doubt there will be need
for farm laborers during the corn cutting
and husking season. Under present ar
rangements it is the desire of the County
Agent to find out the needs of the farm
ers for labor and employ such means, as
seem best to let the farmers know they
should look to him for labor.
There are important facts to be deter
mined, such as kinds of labor needed and
kind of work to be done, also wages;
dates and duration of needs must be given,
also facts concerning living conditions.
The County Agent will endeavor to
supply the needs, locally, with any avail
able labor in the county. This labor is
of the best quality to be had and attempts
will be made to utilize it. If the need
cannot be supplied locally then recourse
will be made to the Farm Labor Bureau.
Upon receipt of the request every effort
will be made by the Bureau to supply
the needs. No more units of the Agri-
cultural Army will be sent out. The
County Agent will act as point of con-
tact between laborer and farmer in max
ing contract.
In case the Bureau furnishes the labor
the farmer must guarantee to pay the
transportation charges of the laborer. If
the work is to be done by unit as it most
lik ely will in case of corn, then the max
imum price per shock or acre should be
stated both for cutting and husking.
If you are in need of laborers, | shall
be glad to assist you in any way | can.
But you must remember that it is almost
impossible to secure skilled labor at any
price. In order not to lose your corn
crop you can afford to use some unskilled
labor.
Please do not ask for assistance unless
you really need it.
have explained the proposition as
briefly as | can and should you need as
sistance drop me card requesting ap-
plcation blank or call the office, Freder-
ick 994, and request blank. Fill out the
blank and return to me as soon as possi-
BILE so can take steps toward securing
the help. Please remember that you are
not obligating yourself in any way when
you request the blank and return it filled
out. If we can furnish the kind of men
you want we will feel that we have help
ed you, but if we cannot get the men
you want you are not obligated to take
what we offer.

The board has sent out notices to 2OO
more men to appear for examination to
complete the 23l.
However, the exemption boards are re-
uuired to secure an additional ten per
cent above the quota to take care OF
those who may be rejected at the cam
comments or who may be exempted by
the appeal boards on occupational
grounds. Should the higher boards be
liberal in exempting those on account of
their occupations on farms, 1t may take
more than an additional ten per cent to
secure this county's quota of 23l.
All the men will, upon date to be
named, be sent from Frederick to the
mobilization camp in control of the local
board. They will be called in, housed
and fed, will march to the railroad sta
ton and be placed on the train. Each
will be given a ticket and provided with
meals. One man will be designated by
the local board to command the quota.

Still They Race.
Persons Along State Road Make
Complaint To Col. Baughman.
(Communicated.)


Ever since the camp has been opened
at Gettysburg, Pa, many touring parties
from all sections of the county pass over
the State Road from Frederick to Get
tysburg. Some of the tourists have men
at the;wheel of their machine who regard
the lives of his party as he regards his
own, but, sorry to say, these careful
drivers are very few and far apart.
For the past three weeks the section
of State Road from Clauvaux school,
house near St. Anthony's Church to
Zentztown, near Payne's Hill, has been
the scene of races from early Sunday
afternoon until late at night. Sunday
evening several visitors to this locality
who were out for walk along the road
were compelled to run to the fence for
fear of being struck by one Of the rae
ing autos. Small children, or persons
hard of hearing, have no business on the
road Sunday evenings during racing
hours. Indeed, persons driving horses
are at big risk.
Col. Baughman has been notified about
the way some of the races have been
conducted. We hope he will soon have
it stopped. Many of those taking part
in the races fail to have their rear light
burning.
The tourists are always welcome to
this section, but those using the highway
for race track and cause accidents are
not very we'll received. We understand
that Col, Baughman will take hand in
the racing program which may cause
some of the offenders to observe the
State Road laws.
