GROWERS
RAPIDLY RUSHING
PRODUCT TO MARKET

Taking advantage of the present re-
cent rainy spell, the farmers are well
through with their tobacco stripping,
and are packing and shipping to the
Baltimore market as rapidly as trans
portation facilities and shortage of la
Dor will permit
Whereas in the beginning of the
season the regular commission trade
in Baltimore was naturally receiving
the bulk of the shipments. the tide has
now turned, and for the past few
weeks the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association has been receiving the
bulk of all, tobacco coming to Balti-
more
We regret to report that the market
is not so strong at the present writ
ing, due to the glut of tobacco coming
on the market, and for this reason the
Association has not been pushing the
sale of it's members tobacco during
the past ten days
uTlueF, diteHtlOH VI meIHUSIS ~
called TO the fact that the warehouse
is receiving and opening tobacco as
rapidly as possible, but during the
past ten days they have not been able
to open all of the tobacco coming in !;
therefore. the Association at the pres
ent time has approximately fifteen
hundred hogsheads of recent ship
ments waiting to be opened These
will be opened just as rapidly as pos
sible. We want to call attention to
this in order that our members mag
realize the cause for not sending them
hogshead numbers and weights as
soon as their tobacco is received. II
will now require much more than one
half of the force of the Warehouse to
caro- for the Association tobacco alone
From this can be gained some idea OF
the very large percentage of the to-
bacco which is coming TO the Associa-
ton.
New members are constantly being
received into the Association. This
month. so far, over rs new members
have signed up.

St Mary's colored school will re-
open the day following, Wednesday,
September s. This school has made
rapid strides and is doing an excellent
work for the colored children of the
community, many non-catholics at
tending this school owing to the short
ened scholastic year in the colored
public school and the uncertainty of
the schools being open the entire
school term Last year the colored
school at ST. Mary's graduated its first
pupil, a young colored girl, who had
completed the course. 1t expects TO
graduate several next June.
The Commercial Department OF st.
Mary's Parochial School will open on
September Is. This is new depar-
ture at St. Mary's. A thorough bust
ness course, including stenography
typewriting and bookkeeping will be
taught. the course extending over two
years. The opening Of this school Of
fers a splendid opportunity to those
seeking a commercial course and who
will not, as previously be obliged to
so TO a Baltimore business college.

SQUIRREL SHOOTING
NOT UNTIL NOV. 10

Prior to the session of the General
Assembly of Maryland for 1920, the
open season on squirrels in seven
counties OF this State was November

change the season TO November 10,
Statewide, as 16 counties had hereto
fore opened the squirrel season Aug
ust 25 and closed October l, and open
ed again November 10 until December
"a Complaints of numerous mothers
and young squirrels being killed

members OF the General Assembly
passed and had new law enacted
which is Statewide and applies to all
counties. opening the season on SOUR

this species OF game seven days.

MAN

Concerning man, Shakespeare said:
What a piece of work is mani How
noble in reason! How infinite in fac
ulties. In form and moving, how adj
mirable! In action, how like an an
gel! In apprehension, how like a
godls
This will serve as a preface to Mark
Twain's opinion Of man. Take your
choice
Mark Twain said:
Man can't sleep out-or-doors with
out freezing to death or getting the
rheumatism; he can't keep his nose
under water over minute without
being drowned. He's the poorest,
clumsiest of all the creatures that in
habit this earth.
He has got to be coddled, housed
and swathed and bandaged to be able
to live at ALL He is a rickety sort
of a thing any way you take him, a
regular British Museum of infrmi-
ties and inferiorities.
HE is always undergoing repairs.
A machine as unreliable as he is
would have no market.
The higher animals get their
teeth without pain or Inconvenience
Mans comes through months of cruel
torture, at time when he is least
able to bear it. As soon as he gets
them they must be pulled out again
The second set will answer for a
while, but he viii never get a set that
can be depended on till the dentist
makes one.
MAN starts in as a child and lives
on diseases to the end, as a regular
diet lie has humps, measles, scar
let fever, whooping cough, Group,
tonsilitis, diphtheria, as matter of
course.

A man wants to keep his hair, 1t

the best protection against weather,
and he prizes it above emeralds and
rubies, and half the time Nature puts
it on so it won't stay.
Man even isn't handsome, as com

of grace, physical perfection, and
majesty
Think Of the lion and the tiger
