Named as Drinker,
Julian Heath Asks
$4,000 Damages

Julian Heath, husband Of the presi-
dent of the National Housewives
League, brought suit yesterday in the
Supreme Cort against Wallace c. Alb
bolt, president Of the Abbott Labora-
tories, an Illinois corporation. from
whose employ HEATH was released last
April He asks $4,000 damages on the
allegation that Abbott asserted, first in
letter and then orally, that the plain
tiff was dismissed as manager of the
corporations New York Office on ac-
count of his drinking and Indifference
TO the policies of his employers. Not
only did Abbott write to Heath long
letter setting forth his reasons Tor the
dismissal. according 10 the complaint,
but he also sent copy Of the letter
to Mrs. Heath.
Heath was in the employ OF the Abb
bott Laboratories, manufacturing chem
lists, for several years, and, he says,
bore "a good name for fidelity. integ-
rity and sobriety." Abbott wrote the
complained-of letter on April 4, 1916.
In il he said: "For four years you have
been unsatisfactory" He declared he
had in vain made numerous efforts to
induce the plaintiff to place himself
in harmony with the policy of the con-
Germ. Your won't" wrote Abbott, rs
largely supported by intoxicants which
you insist upon not cutting out The
defendant charged the New York mana
ger with betraying his confidence. We
have treated you more than squsrely,
the letter continued. You have treated
us with the quintessence Of disrespect.
This is where we part, but as friends,
trust $1,000.
For that letter Heath asks $4,000
damages.
He sues for a similar amount for
q statement which Abbott, he alleges,
made in the presence OF DR.. George
Starr White at meeting Of the Amer
lean Medical Association in Detroit.
TO the effect that Heath was discharged
for drinking.

CONVENTION HELD TODAY
Many Anne Arundel Men in Big Pow

The question of annexation, and
the plank to be inserted in the plat
form, bearing upon the matter, pre-
sented the real problem for solution
by the delegates and leaders of the
Democratic party of the State who
are holding their convention at the
Academy CT Music, Baltimore city this
afternoon.
Anne Arundel county is represent
ed in the convention by an unusually
large number of democrats of pfomi-
nence in addition TO the delegates
who were elected at the primary cleo
ton of Tuesday of last week.
At O'Clock this afternoon, word
was received by telephone from Balti-
more, that very little progress had
been made in the convention up to
that hour, but the general trend of
sentiment seemed to be that a plank
would be Incorporated in the party's
platform, before final ratification,
which will advocate the annexation
Of a slice of the Fifth district of this
county, and certain sections of Balti-
more county. but with the clause pro-
viding for the referendum of the ques :
tion. In short, this will mean that
the votres in the sections to be affect
ed by annexation to the city will be
given the chance to decide the issue
for themselves.

ESCAPE THE FROST
County Farmers Are Getting Hand
some Returns From Their
Late Planting.
TOMATO PRICES SOARING
Country Folk Doing Good Business Sell
ing Produce To Motorists At
Roadside Stands.

While other sections have suffered
severely as the result of frosts. Anne
Arundel county has thus far been
spared, and there are indications that
the late crops will be the largest in
recent years. Farmers who had to
replant following the several heavy
hailstroms of the early summer are
now reaping the benefits of their un-
firing efforts The late tomatoes are
of fine quality and are bringing here
tofore uhheard of prices. The time
was and cnly in recent years-when
80 cents a bushel was a good price,
but some tomatoes are selling for
$1.75 a bushel now. Gamers seem
unable to get enough to meet their
needs.
Coed Outlook For Pies.
Late beans abound and many are
finding their way TO city markets but
packers are offering such good prices
that they get most of the county crop.
Pumpkins are more plentiful than in
several years, and there should be no
lack of pumpkin pies this winter
Corn is about ready to cut, and unless
frost damages it there will be a hump

ly produces but little

pears AMI apples are going to rot up
on the trees and ground because city
prices are too low to justify picking

es are plentiful in practically every
section AID arc being sold at high
prices
Buyers Come Te Farms.
But farmers living along the boule-
ward and roads have found a way to
get their crops sold that would other
wise go to waste. They have become
merchant-farmers, and now one may
buy all sorts of farm products from
the farmers, who have located little
shops and stands along the roads
On holidays and Sundays when the
roads are crowded with scores of We
hicles, these farmer-merchants set
forth with a wagon loaded with va
rious products and make their way to
temporary stands or shelters on the
road There they sell their wares,
and in the city pleasure seekers they
find ready buyers for their goods
and at good prices. too.
Many Ct the products offered are
never seen in the city markets. and it
is a real treat to city folks to be able
20 get things so conveniently. The
children and older women assist in
selling the produce.
