GOOD RESULTS FROM
USE OF SERUM
Anne Arundel Farmer Saves Pigs
from Cholera by Quick
Action

Mr.. John F. Wilson. of Tracy's
Landing, reports to County agent
Whiteford of the good results obtained
from the use of Serum on pigs, which
recently were diagnosed by DR.. Ather-
ton as having Cholera. Immediately
after the disease was pronounced
Cholera, Mr.. Wilson left for the Ex-
pertinent Station for serum which he
injected at once.
With the exception of the loss OF
one small pig. perfect results were
obtained
Mr.. Wilson is to be commended for
his prompt and very vigorous action
in combating this disease and for the
fact that he posted the Cholera warn
ing signs Immediately and made a
good job of cleaning up and disin-
fecting the hog lot.
There seems no reason after having
taken these precautions that the place
is not safe from Cholera, all due tc
the prompt and efficient work put
upon it.

CHESTNUT CROP is
LIKELY TO BE SHORT
Blight Has Hurt Trees And Many
Have Been Killed Outright
In Some Sections

Chestnut season is almost here, but
from the looks of the trees there will
be few nuts. The crop last year was
light, but from all parts of the State
come reports that the supply this fall
will be even less.
The blight, which for several years
has played havoc with chestnut trees
throughout the country, is responsible
for the scarcity of nuts. In many sec
tions forests of trees have been either
killed or diseased to such an extent
that they never will bear again.
AS to the best places to go chest
nut hunting there are "spots" in most
every section of Anne Arundel County
where chestnut trees fay be found.

LEAGUE ASKS RENEWAL

There is much agitation among our
citizens over the prospective revival
of the old Curfew lay which requires
all boys and girls under sixteen years
of age 10 be in their homes by nine
o'clock at night unless they have a
permit 10 remain on the street.
Some of the old residents can re-
member when such a custom was OBJ
served here. The bell OF st. AIMS
Church used to be rung at 9 a. m.
for school. at p. m. for the workman
to return to the Naval Academy at
the Curfew at 8 p. IN. II is not known
why it was discontinued, unless Il
happened when st. Anne's was burned
in 1857 and there was no bell to sound
the Curfew
The petition to have city ordi-
nance to revive the old custom has
received the endorsement OF the or
ganizations of the city. including both
the Mems and women's Sections of
the Council of Defense, the Civic
League. the Mothers Circle. the
Daughters of Isabella and the Girls
Patriotic League The petition will
be presented to the Mayor and City
Council at their next meeting
These are war times, producing
strenuous and peculiar conditions. and
it is the wisest and best thing TO
safeguard our Young people and make
them see that home is the best place
for them at night BY the ounce of
prevention" taken in time. we will
avoid the pounds Of evil it will be
impossible to cure
1t is hoped that all right thinking
people will bestir themselves and help
to revive this quaint old law that fits
in so well with our quaint old town,
so that we may say of our young peo-
pie in the woods of the watchmen of
old Nine O'clock and All's Well"

distinctly dtsloyal to use pleasure
automobiles on Sunday for any pur-
pose where it is not absolutely nec-
essary.
Therefore. the loyal citizen who de-
nies himself or herself the pleasure

tory and helping to make the world
safe for democracy. Let all help the
