ARE
MAKING HUGE
GRAFT GRAB

(Staff Correspondent for the FEEDER

Washington, Sept. S.-"What have
the patriotic farmers and other work
ers of America done to deserve a fine
equal to one-third of the total maxi
mum indemnity which can be col
lected from Germany, charged with
starting the world war in 1912"
The fine in question is the &c.
500,000,000 which is saddled upon the
public by the grant of railroad rate
increase given under the Cummins-
,Esch law. And the question is raised
by the Farmers National Council,
through its secretary, Benjamin C.
Marsh.
Every family in the United
States will be taxed an average of
$500 year to pay that fine, says
Marsh. And of the whole $4,000
100000, the farmers will pay APP
proximately $3,OO0,O0O,OOO, "or half
the total Indebtedness outstanding
against farm values in 1910"
Marsh declares the whole people
are being victimzed by predatory
financiers," who use the Republican
and Democratic parties as their in

MARRYING PARsON CASE.
Elkton Pastors Appeal Taken Up
BY Synod.

The appeal of DR.. John NIGEL
moyle, pastor of the Elkton Presby-
terian Church, from the action of
the Presbytery of New Castle, was
heard this week at the ,ueeting of
the Synod of Baltimore, which con-
vened in the Abbott Memorial
Church, Baltimore.
The controversy of DR.. McElmoyle
is of long standing and is the result
of Maryland's quick marriage laws,
it being charged that the Elkton
pastors, the Rev. McElmoyle includ-
ed, had commercialiZed marriages
and were reaping a harvest. For
his part in the business DR.. McEl-
moyle was deposed at meeting Of
the New Castle Presbytery, in
Dover, year ago, and at a meet
ing of the Presbytery in Lewes an
appeal was made to the Synod. That
appeal acted as stay and DR.. Nc
Elmoyle continued as pastor until
the synod could act on his appeal.
The appeal sets forth four reasons
against the action of the New
Castle Presbytery dissolving the
pastoral relations of DIR. McElmoyle
and also the signers of the appeal:
That the congregation of the Elk
ton church was nearly unanimously
against the dissolution of the pas
toral relations of DR.. McElmoyle;
that no charges were ever brought
against DR.. McElmoyle; that the
minister felt a divine call to con-
tinue in the pastorate of the Elkton
church; that no reasons were given
by the Presbytery for it's action.
The Rev. Mr.. McElmoyle was ac-
quilted of the charge of conduct
unbecoming minister" by the
Synod on Wednesday.

BASE BALL.
Rising Sun Wins Championship Of
Cecil County.

On Saturday afternoon, October
23, Rising Sun closed a very sue
cessful base ball season by defeat
ing Elkton in the second and last
game for the county championship
by a score of 10 to 6.
Rising Sun had already defeated
Perryville two straight games, when
Elkton made challenge that they
too must be defeated before Rising
Sun could claim the title. Elkton
had previously shut out North East
winners of the Church League, and
also defeated Havre de Grace, the
pennant holders of the Susquehanna
League. Therefore Rising Sun now
having defeated Perryville and Elk
ton both, two straight games, and
also winning four out of five from
Havre de Grace during the season,
shows itself to be not only the
championship team of Cecil county
but Hartford county as well.
The game at Elkton on Saturday
was keenly contested. Both teams
hit the ball hard when hits meant
runs; both made costly errors but
redeemed themselves by fine stops
and throws. Finn went the full
route for Rising Sun, and while
only five hits were made off of his
delivery six runs were scored by
Elkton. Clay was hit hard and in
the fifth inning retired in favor of
Wilson, who was also hammered by
the Sun boys.
Gather, for Rising Sun, and Rob-
inson, for Elkton, each had home
run drives over the left field fence.
The features of the game were
the hard hitting of Rising Sun and
the wonderful base running and
"fade-away" slide of Thomas.

Contest At National Dairy Show
Cecil County Boy On

Maryland boys made a fine show
ing at the recent National Dairy
Show, held in Chicago, where their
Judging teams represented the State
in three of the leading contests.
Two of the teams were composed
of students from the University o.
Maryland at College Park, and the
other team was made up of boys be-
tween the ages of IL and Is years,
selected from members of the Agri-
cultural Boys Clubs.
The Maryland team which entered
the Students Dairy Cattle Judging
contest was composed Of J. H. Sny-
der, c. K. Hotter, J. R. Graham and
Clayton Reynolds, alternate.
This team was required to judge
and place in the order of merit,
ring of mature cows, a ring of bulls
and ring of heifers in each of the
four major dairy breeds-Holsteins,
Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys.
Twenty-one teams from Agricultural
Schools in twenty-one States were
entered in the contest and the COM
petition was keen. The Maryland
team carried off first honors in
judging the Ayrshire breed, winning
the handsome Ayrshire cup offered
by the Ayrshire Breeders Associa-
tion. In it's work of judging all the
breeds, the Maryland team ranked
eighth and took seventh place in
Guernseys. Mr.. Snyder was second

sity of Maryland entered the Stud
ents' Dairy Products judging contest

olds, of Cecil county; J. H. Snyder,
of Baltimore county, and J. Ralph
Graham, of Queen Anne's county,
alternate.
This team was called on to judge
10 lots of cheese, 10 samples of milk
and 10 specimens of butter, all
ranging widely in quality and ex-
hibiting both desirable and undesir-
able features. The contest was
given added interest by the fact
that the competing teams were the
five leaders in last years contest.
The Maryland team which was fifth
last year won second place, giving
way to Ohio by narrow margin.
Two men from Maryland team out
ranked all other contestants. Clay
ton Reynolds scoring first, Snyder
winning in the selection of butter.

tural Boy Club members competed

ford county, and Chauncey Ahalt,
of Frederick county, won first place
in judging the Guernsey breed,
