ANCIENT WRONG |s MADE RIGHT
 GREGG ESTATE

! A debt, contracted by Arizona in ter 1 ritorial days and which has been fought out in two courts and several legisla- 1 lures, was finally paid in full by the | state of Arizona> yesterday afternoon A. w. Gregg who held the original con- tract for'tbe construction of the terri torial prison at Florence, was the ben i efactor.
 The sum paid by the state to Mr Gregg yesterday was s17,l2440 Of this amount slightly more than ,000 was due him for work on the prison while the remainder was interest at six per cent from February, 1912, until the present time.
 Once the matter was brought to the attention of the present legislature. no time was lost in passing the bill appro- priating the amount necessary to pay , the debt. The house, in which the bill originated passed il unanimously sev- eral days ago. Monday. the bill went to the senate where it also passed by a unanimous vote Governor Campbell affixed his signature Tuesday afternoon and Jesse l.. Boyce. state auditor, drew the warrant yesterday afternoon.
 The territorial prison was construc- ted in 1909 under the direct superVis- ion of the state board of control. The plans and specifications as first ac- cepted. 1t was found. were unsatisfac-
 tory and the contractor. Mr. Gregg. was therefore instructed to make alter ations. These alterations, however, we're provided for in the building con- tract. The prison was finally com pieted in 1910.
 Attempts were then made to settle with Mir. Gregg. for sum of s14.000, although il was admitted by the terri fgrf3f afforupx That tho s4ag. oxUad tho contractor approximately s2e.00e Mir. Gregg was finally indueed to sign re- ceiot in full on payment of sI4. 900, t being explained by the late James J. Rlggs. then citizen member of the board Of control. that the remaining s12.000 would he paid as soon as additional ap- prnpriations could be secured

40 CENT MILK
CARROLL COUNTY PRODUCERS MAKE
RATE SCHEDULE BIG ATTEND
OFFICERS ELECTED - D-
DRESSES WERE MADE BY MESSRS.
HARRY AND HEEP.

About 400 farmers from every sec
ton of arroll county were present
at the meeting called by r. Smith
Snader, vice president of the State
Dairymen's Association, and James
W. Beacham, Jr., a member OF the
price committee, to be held in the
Westminster High School Building,
this city, on Saturday afternoon, for
the discussion of the raising of the
price of milk during the winter
months, and organizing the Carroll
County Producers Association as a
branch of the Maryland State Dairy
mems Association.
The attendance and enthusiasm
showed that the dairymen are in
earnest about not filling their silos at
the present price of corn unless guar
anteed a standard price for milk. They
were vigorous in denying that they
were organizing to secure exorbltant
prices, but made it emphatic that they
would not produce milk at loss.
Ex-senator R. Smith Snader in open
ing the meeting said that his herd was
not paying at present prices. l. W.
Heep, the Hartford county dairyman,
said he would have to dispose of his
herd unless conditions changed. w. A.
Pickens, who has just completed a
years work as official tester for the
County Cow Testing Association, sub
mitted figures showing the receipts and
expenditures of an ordinary COW. These
figures were accepted by dairymen as
a concise statement OF conditions
showing that they could not produce
milk at present prices and that they
must have a guaranteed price for the
next six months for after they have
filled their silos they have no redress.
d. G. Harry, president of the State
Dairymen's Association, pointed out
that a reasonable profit for milk would
not work a hardship on the consumer,
for if the silOs are not filled there
will be a scarcity of milk this winter
and prices will be higher than asked
for now President Harry also called
attention to the editorial in Friday
Sun and said that the State Dairy
Association had already asked for an
impartial investigation of conditions
by the State authorities. A price of 30
cents for September, 40 cents for the
next six months, 30 cents for April
and 80 cents for the summer months
Tor per cent. milk 10 Cne 6alLlmOre
dealers were agreed upon as satisfac-
tory to the producers.
: The officers elected were Roland P
Bale, president; Scott BOllinger, vice
president; James w. Beacham, secre-
tary and treasurer. Thirty-five were
enrolled as members of the New AS
sOciatiOn.
A statement was read by County
Agent Kinzy on the receipts and eX-
penditures for an ordinary COW for
one year costing $50 and giving 4,OOG
pounds of per cent. milk at the pres
ent price, as follows: Hay, silage, pas
ture, etc, would cost $192.65; receipts
from milk, calf, ETC., $119.93, showing
a loss Of $72.72. To make the receipts
balance the expenditures, the owner
of the COW would have to receive A.
cents per gallon.

Omy Gasoline Contest.

Mrs. Charles O. Clemson, Court
street, has just received a communi-
cation from the Maxwell Motor Sales
Co. that she is one of the winners Of
Liberty Bond offered by that Com
pany for the best record on one gal
Ion Of gasoline made by the owner Of
a Maxwell car in the June contest,
which was held throughout the United
States and Canada Mrs Clemson
made SO miles on one gallon of gaso-
line over Carroll county roads from
Westminster toward Sykesville and
return. The official observers who
witnessed the entire test and Travelled
with Mrs. Clemson in the car were
Messrs. H. Peyton Gorsuch and George
X. Matthews, prominent business men
of this city, who made affidavit to the
test and milage. Mrs. Clemson's hus-
band was also in the car during the
run, for the conditions were that it
must carry three persons besides the

Camq closed last Monday morning
after the most successful camp they
have held for years. There was a
large attendance both from members
and visitors. While fishing was not
50 good as usual this year, on account
of water conditions, yet everyone had
good time and many said they re-
GREETED that they could not spend
more time in camp. Much credit S
given the cooks for the splendid way
they handled the crowds whose ap-
petites at times almost depleted the
eats, however, anyone who can't eat
more than usual at camp need to see
the doctor.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The Russian
embassy received cable from Petro-
grad announcing that German soldiers
are quitting their leaders in thous-
ands and surrendering to the Russian
commanders.
This is the first time that Russia has
claimed German troops have deserted
their standards, although it has been
stated frequently that Austrians went
over to the Russians. %
The reports received here state that
the Germans surrendered because they
were starving. Reports received here
tofore indicated that the Germans
were much better fed than their enc
mics, and that many Russians had ac-
cepted Imprisonment voluntarily in
Teuton camps to avoid starvation.

We are pleased to note that many
teachers in our public schools are endeav-
Iorina to interest the children in current
events in these days when history Is be-
ing made. There is one subject, however,
Iof which not only children, but the young
people who have finished high school and
college courses are woefully ignorant,
and that is geography, particularly OF
their own state and country. they
would read with greater understanding
and enjoyment if towns, cities and larger
units of government meant something
more to them than names Brattleboro
IReformer
incidentally, those teachers ought to
instruct their charges now and then as
Ito the proper placing of letters to form
correct spelling of the words which they
use in their geography lessons. About
the crudest thing we have to contend
with in contributed articles Ito say moth
ing of our own is the misspelling of
words, some of them the most common
words in use in every day life, Geog-
raphy is splendid thing but spelling
runs it a close race for desirability.
