ested In the future In taking a college
course nc Maryland State.

not prize winners 60 attend the short

count OF limited amount OF sleeping

Kindness of DR.. Woods, we will be
able to grant limite number Il these

One OF the most violent storms that
this section has ever known swept over
the county on Thursday, March 9th,
attaining It's greatest velocity about
5:45 p. N. While the damage donein-
dictates that the storm conferred over
Leonardtown, reports have been re-
ceived showing that all of S.. Mary's
suffered from the high wind. Tele-
phone communication was practically
paralysed for "a hours and many OF
the roads were blocked by fallen trees.
Few houses in Leonardtown have es-
capped damage, especially to window
lights, shutters and out-buildings.
while the destruction of trees, many oi
them very old, entails the greatest loss
and one that IL will take years 10 re-
place. Not less than 30 were blown
down or twisted of within the town
limits. A torrent OF rain, accompan-
the damage, where windows had been
broken and shutters wrenched of bv

agencies for the application of his
plan and he urges the teachers and

Your business Is catching and SELL
ing oysters. Anything that will in
crease your opportunities or lessen
your hazards improves your business.
IL is Self-evident that the oysterman
who can secure the best average sell.

season will enjoy the best returns for
his labor.
This can be done by taking up a
small area under lease on which TO de-
post or plant the catch OF those DAYS

there is no market or an unsatisfactory
market. The possession of such q
piece OF ground under lease fortifies
you against idleness In such q dull
period and against the necessity of
selling at o low figure what you can
certainly obtain q good price for dur
ing the winter time when work on the
natural rocks Is often Impossible.
AS q purely business proposition il
should appeal TO every oysterman.
The cost of lease for ground includes
application fee, IS; advertising fee, s.;

There are many thousands of acres
