Waking Up The Snakes"

Another snake story comes to us this
week, supplementing the one we pub
lished a few weeks ago. What is
that is waking up the snakes 2'' No
great phenomena in the heavens or
earth ara taking place in this part OF
the world: the signaling either Of the
ethereal planets has not become an es-
tablished fact Then why should the
serpent make itself so evidently present
when the winter blasts are so conspic-
uously strong and the snow yet cover
lag the fields ? We can only conjec-
tlre. Maybe it is due to the discharge
Of the big guns at Indian Head that
weekly rattle the windows of the dwell
lings Of the quiet people OF Calvert

Now in this latter case his snakeship
might have been startled from his dark
habitat by the electrical storm of Sat
urday night, for it was Sunday morn
ing when one was discovered by Mr..
B. Thomas Rawlings near his spring
moving leisurely over the snow 1t
was of the COW variety, black, with
white spots, and measuring Al feet 10
length. This is not fabulous story
1t is also youched for by Mr.. G. Guy
Rawlings, our foreman printer
II has been said that John Barley
corn, in action, could often wake up
the snakes Now, Brother Posey, OF
TIE INDEPENDENT, can the big guns
at Indian Head accomplish this feat p
Calvert Gazette, Feb. p.
Due to our unfamiliarity with the
snake, its cohorts and habits, we are
unable to enlighlen our brother on the
subject. But, if "Tom' Parran who,
on his stump-speaking tours would
have US believe that all things wonder
full, humorous and even miraculous,
have their origin in Calvert, can help
him out, we would suggest that, fol-

To the Editor;
DEAR SIR Notwithstanding the
fact that it was clearly stated during
the organization campaign of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton that the charge by the Association
for the sale of tobacco would be $500

sion that the charge would be s. 90 per
hOgshead.
WIN you not please publish this let
ter, and in that way aid us in correct
ing the impression among our members
and others OF your readers who are in
terested in the organization and sue
cess of the Maryland Tobacco Grow
ers Association, which through an ar
rangement with the State Board of
Agriculture, has opened offices in the
State Tobacco Warehouse, and is al
ready receiving eonsignments OF to-
baceo from members.
Thanking you, | am,

Walter B. Dorsey For Congress.

The Democraticcon congressional ring
is no longer hatless, fcrthe chapesu OF
Walter b. Dorsey now of Anne Arun-
del, but former member OF the House
from st. Mary's, was cast into the ring
this morning.
Mr.. Dorsey will be remembered for
two things in connection with his oecu-
pancy of seat in the House. First,
Il was he who, during a warm wet and
dry debate in 1912. referred to his ma
tive heath of st. Mary's as that ia
nous land of the fiddle and flask, y
which he, on the particular question
then pending, intended to represent as
such a land should be represented.
Then, it was the vote of Mr.. Dorsey
and his plea for the Southern woman
hood, "Gawd bless 'em - that killed
the efforts made eight years ago to pre-
clude forever future consideration Of
the ''unwritten law in cases before the
courts Of the state.
Mr. Dorsey says he is a farmers
candidate. He declares himself to IA
vor continued federal aid for state
roads and to be opposed to universal
military training. Annapolis dispatch

From now on as the rains begin and
tine weather softens the soil there will
be one of the greatest losses on the
farm | mean this, The manure that
you have made this winter will lose a
great deal of its value if you are not
very careful in the saving of it. If
you let the rain pour down upon ityou
will see below your barn golden col
ored stream which is indeed stream
OF gold You can prevent this to a
very great extent by getting that ma
nure out upon the fields as soon as the
fields are tit to go upon There will
be two advantages in getting the ma
nure out early. You will break up a
fine breeding place for the Typhoid
fly and you will save many dollars in
your fertilizer bill.
