Southern Maryland Raises Prize Bull.

The January issue of the State Col

Park, Md, contains a photograph OF
Mount Victoria Stamp 430234, the
highest-priced bull Maryland has ever
produced After winning first prize in
senior yearling class at tho Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition in
Chicago during December, hewas sold
at auction TO the highest bidder, being
bought by W. J. Hill, Great Bear
Lake, Mimi. for 1000. He was bred
and exhibited by Robert Grain, Mount
Victoria, Charles county, and won
against the stiffest competition in the
United States. It is hoped this will
prove encouraging to the farmers of
st. Mary's to improve their breeding
stock. What Mr.. Grain has done in
Charles can be duplicated in our own
county. How about that, Mr.. Cham

One Of the most Enjoys anairs
that has been held in Youngstown In
many moons was the annual banquet
OF the Modern Woodinen Of America,
given In the spacious and beautifully
decorated dining room Of the Hotel St.

Woodmen. with the capable assistance
of Mr.. Stuart Kearney, manager OF the
hotel, proved themselves excellent
providers Of both physical and intel
lectupl nourishnent From the salute
to ssOld Glory" before the guests we're
seated, TIL the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner at the close of the
evenings entertainment, there was
nothing left to wish for except the
presence Of several kindred spirits
whom the impossible condition OF the
roads had kept away The edibles
and the service we're well UP to the
standard that has made Hotel ST.
Mary's famous.
DR.. Charles " Hayden filled the
toastmaster's chair with credit to him
self and greatly TO the pronotion OF
the evening festivities. The speeches,
after the coffee and cigars bad been
served, were well worth listening to,
those OF Dr. F. +. GreSnwell and
Messrs. Samuel Wallis and Frank
Wathen deserving special mention for
the sparkle OF wit and humor that
added so much to the enlivenment Of
the occasion. On invitation from Mr..
Kearney, the guests remained after the
banquet and indrlged in an impromptu
dance.

foreign contracts which were to have
provided the initial fighting equipment

ON STRONG GERMAN BASE is
THE PROJECT.

WASHINGTON March 22-It was
disclosed on the highest authority to
dav that the United States government
had favored strong naval offensive
by the Allied and American fleets, but
naval experts had agreed that it would
be suicide" to send war vessels
against German land Notifications.
The most careful study has bean
given 70 the question Of naval ac-
ton against Hel1goland with the re-
suit that the authorities concluded
that the stationary gun emplacements.
perfectly concealed, would be more
than match for the ships taking part
in such an enterprise, the latter being
exposed targets, the objects of attack
being invisible.
1t is now known that this govern
laent factors more aggressive naval
action but what form it may take, and
the localities, are not revealed.
The same is true, it was asserted.
with respect to offensive action on

States may not speak with the au
thority it will have when formidable
American forces shall arrive in

Heated Air In Medicine.

Heated air is reported by Dr. c. G.
Cunston to be of considerable impor-
lance in war medical and surgical
practice. At temperatures of 100 de-
grees to 300 degrees Fahrenheit it
eases pain, produces an increased
blood flow to the wound and greatly
aids healing. At such high tempera-
lures as 700 degrees to 1,4O0 degrees
the air jet is pronounced the ideal
