Ralph Robinson has signed for
the coming baseball season with
the ball club at Columbia, South
Carolina, which is one of the clubs
comprising the South Atlantic

tice in a few days.
Young Robinson played first
base on local teams for several
years and last season covered the
initial sack for Elkton where his
batting and fielding were out

games. His work it is said was
observed by "Bill" MCGOWAN, the

recommended him to the Columbia

Truck Owners Vio-
lating Traffic Laws

The State Highway Department
has recently discovered that a
number of five-ton trucks using
the state roads are carrying loads
up to eight and nine tons and two
ton trucks are carrying loads up
to four and five tons. This is a
violation of the maximum loading
law of the state and offenders will
be warned and prosecuted.
For the detection of those over
loading their trucks, the depart
ment will purchase a set of road
scales, which will be placed along
the road. To overload the truck
is also an infraction Of the load
law allowing so many pounds per
inch per tire.
A recent test of the Bureau of
Public Roads, Washington, led to
the discovery that the heavy load
carried by trucks causes more
damage to roads than any other
traffic. The test showed that a
truck travelling Is miles per hour
will multiply it's weight six times
in passing over one inch varia-
tion in the road, thus: If the
truck was passing along the road
at the rate stated and ran over a
stone one inch in height, the blow
upon the road would measure six
times the weight of the truck and
load
Another clause in the new laws
regulating loads and speed upon
the State Highways is that all com.
mercial trucks carrying loads
must have plate stating the
weight of the load placed in some
conspicuous place on the truck
Enforcement of these laws vii
start Immediately.
Charles M. Upham, chief engin
eer for the department, will go tc
New York this week to arrange fol
the purchase of dump bodies fol
trucks. These bodies are Offered
for sale by the government as ex
cess war supplies. They were
formerly used for the transporta
tion of ammunition.

Editor of Cecil Wing
Out For Congress

Former State Senator Frank E.
Williams of Elkton has announc-
ed his candidacy for Congress-
He is editor of the Cecil Whig and
was formerly Presbyterian
minister.
Mr.. Williams in announcing his
candidacy says in part.
"The war is over. We have now
to wrestle with the great problems
it has left us-the enormous pub
lie debt, the need for wise and
economical expenditure of the
peoples money, the shameful
squandering of millions (wrung
from the taxpayers pockets) by
inefficient and 'unregarding gov
ernmental departments; the con-
certed and well-organized move
ment for universal training"
leading straight on to the estab-
lishment Of "militarism" in these
United States; the adjustment of
industrial conditions in order that
increased production may reduce
the cost of living, and that Ameri-
can industry may find itself, and
then lend itself to the restoration
of industrial initiative and pros
perity; the imperative necessity
for so meeting the acute agricul-
tural situation as that production
of food products may not he furth-
er handicapped and that the multi
tudes of people "off the farms
shall not starve.
These are some, of the many,
problems to which the people
representatives Gf they are to be
efficient representatives, must
give their best thought, their wild.
est practical experience; their un.
biased and unfrightened judg.
ment. l venture to think that
those best fitted to cooperate in
the settlement of such problems
are the men who have had per.
sonal contact with these problems
as they have arisen. l believe nc
man can go to Washington anc
strive adequately for the solution
of these problems, unless he goes
freed of all political shackles
ready and anxious to voice in Con
gress what the people are think
ing and saying back in the shop!
and out on the farms and down il
the street-and in fact everywhere
today in these United States.
believe the people are asking TO,
representative in Congress wht

problems, because they are per
sonally in contact with them, ant
with the people upon whom the,
are most anxiously pressing"

NEWARK HERDSMEN
MAKE GOOD SHOW
ING THIS MONTH
J. | .Dayett, J. T. Edmunson
and DR.. Young on the
Honor List

IN the Diamond State Cow Testing
Association the records of the 319
cows under test were very gratifying
during the month of February. There
were twenty-six cows making records
of above 40 pounds Of butterfat, the
ten highest of which range in pro-
duction from At to 81 pounds of but
terfat. A cow owned by Breidablik
Farm again heads the honor list with
a close second by the pure bred Hol-
stein cow owned by J. l. Dayett. }. L.
Edmunson is back again with the
high ten. DR.. Taylor Young, of New
ark, breaks into the honor, list this
with two of his Holstein cows. DR..
Young's herd is also one of the five
herds having the highest average pro-
duction. Considering the number of
cows in the herd this is very credit
able record. Mr.. w. C. Matthews,
with an accredited Jersey herd, also
receives honors this month in the
highest herd production class.
There has been considerable discus
sion the last few weeks relative to the
new price fixing basis for milk adopt
ed by the Interstate Milk Producers
Association. 1t is thought, however,
that next spring when the usual sur
plus of milk comes on that instead of
the farmers experiencing the usual
marked drop in price that the price
will continue fairly uniform through
this period. 1t will probably not be
until this period that the new price
fixing basis will have demonstrated it's
merits.
In the Middletown Association, Will
liam Green carries off the honors with
Holstein cow producing 1903 pounds
OF milk and AZ pounds of butterfat.
Herbert Insolo comes in close sec
ond with cow producing 1885 pounds
of milk and 81 pounds of butterfat
Schrader and Janvier deserve COM
mendation, as they enjoy the distinc-
tion of having three cows in the honor
list. Many of the members are TAX
