Concerning the sabbath.

According To the Bible the Lord Gre
ated the world In six days and rested
on the seventh. As Saturday IL the
seventh day OF the week. the Jews OBJ
serve ~ as the Sabbath. as do certain
other denominations following the old
Mosaic law. When Christ said: "The
old things have passed away; behold,
they are become new" his followers
regarded this as a command to change
the old order. and they made the day
OF his resurrection the Sabbath.

STOCK NEEDS GOOD HOUSING
There Are Two Extremes Farmers
Should Avoid-crowded Sheds
Are Injurious

"Farmers should use great deal OF
care in housing their animals at TINS
time Of the year." says DR.. *. W..
Stouder of the agricultural extension
department of Iowa state college.
There are two extremes In housing
that many farmers practice. One e1-
treme is crowded and tight sheds or
barns which have poor ventilation and
are too warm at night. When the ami
mails are turned out in the morning
there is great danger that they VII
take pneumonia.
'.The other extreme is poorly buias
buildings, and those buiit with open
foundations high above ths gro1n0

LIME Benefits MANY SOILS
Improves Texture and Makes Them
More Retentive-Grains Are
Made More Porous.

Lime benefits many soils by improv-
ing the texture. When applied to light,
leachy soils it makes them more re-
tentive. If applied to clay soil it
makes it f1occulate. Very fine grains
may be cemented together and made
more porous.

Two boys, Samuel J. Poplin, aged

in an empty silo on Monday. Wilbur
Hopes, a neighbor, came near meet.
ing the same fate when he estered
the silo in an effort to effect rescue
The silo was double structure, with
communication at the bottom. One
of the structures had been filled with
ensilage a few days ago, from which
deadly carbonic acid gas, caused by
fermentation, accumulated in the
bottom of the empty silo.
The boys were playing on top Of
the empt silo, when one of their
shoes fel into it. The father at
tempted to dissuade the lad from
going after it, but finally procured a
rope and the boy lowered himself
hand over hand, about 25 feet. The
boy had only gone a short distance
when he shouted he was blinded
The father thought the youngster
was confused in the darkness and
called to him to come back, but re-
ceived no response. The lad had
evidently fallen unconscious from
the gas to the bottom of the silo as
the rope held by the father had be
come slack After repeated calls, to
which no response was made, the
other brother, Samuel, volunteered
to go down the rope after his broth
err. After several minutes Mr.. Pop
lin, hearing nothing from either OF
the boys, became greatly alarmed
and went for assistance.
Mr.. Hopes, with a handkerchief
over his face, entered the silo
through door in the side. He
found the bodies of the two boys, but
was overcome himself and had to be
pulled from the silo by means of a
rope which had been tied around him
before he entered.
DIR. Armfield F. Van Bibber, of
Bel Air, and DR.. Lee Hughes were
hastily summoned, and by the time
they arrived Mr.. Hopes had been
revived. A corn blower used to
transfer the ensilage into the slio
was attached to the top of the
structure and the gas blown out
through the side door. When the
air was thought to be purified Mr..
Poplin and several others put ON gas
masks and entered the silo, recover

four safe hits and shutting the Oxford
boys out. Rising Sun touched Price

get together on satisfactory arrange

Rising Sun held out for an umpire

Havre de Grace thought the regular

enough, and there you are.
In place of the post-season League

ROAD COMPLETED.
Connecting Link Between Boston and
Washington.

-
The Rising Sun-Harrisville section
of State road has been completed, the
last bucketful of concrete being
dumped by the mixer Tuesday after
noon, at $3.50 o'clock that connected
the newly-constructed road at the
corner of Wilson avenue and Mair
street, in this town, with that laid
last year, and marked the closing oi
the last gap in a stretch of improved
highway extending from Boston te
washington, we are informed.
The connecting up of the roadway
was witnessed by quite a number OF
our citizens and was signalled by the
tying down Of whistle on the mixer
and letting the old machine do its
best to advertise the fact.
The building of the road through
town to a point mile and a hall
west of Harrissville, where it con-
nected with the completed section OF
the Porters Bridge road, has been q
tedious job, and the contractor,
Thos. Mullan, OF Baltimore, made
such poor progress and displayed
such lack of interest in the work,
which he began in June, 1919, that
the State Roads Commission after
doing everything in their power tc
speed him up without success, finally
took the work out of his hands on
July 1, and placed 1t in charge Of the
Broad Creek Construction Co., of
this county, to complete, with the
result that good progress was made
from that date, despite the many
difficulties met with.
The latter contracting company
we understand, will on Monday begin
the work of laying concrete road
way through Elkton.
The section of road between Rising
Sun and Harrisville, that was COM
pleted on Tuesday afternoon, will re-
main closed to traffic until the con-
crete has had sufficient time to set
properly, and will be thrown open in
about two weeks time.
1t may be of interest to note that
the completion of the road here this
week marks the fruition of fight OF
citizens in this section for the inn
provement Of the road running from
beyond Porters Bridge via Rising
Sun and Calvert, towards Elkton,
(Which route was later incorporated
in the State Roads System,) that
dates back to 1903, when in response
to a numerously signed petition, cir
culated by the Good Roads League OF
this section, the first section of
macadam roadway every constructed
in the county, and one of the first
built in the State under the Shoe
maker Law, was laid between Rising
Sun and Pennington. This was be-
fore the State Roads Commission
had come into existence.
With the election of Governor
Crothers and the birth of the State
Roads Commission the fight for the
original route was renewed and saw
the building in 1910 of the first
section, under direct supervision of
the State, from the eastern limits of
this town towards Calvert This
road was continued the next two
years and built in an easterly direc-
ton, along the original route, to
within about one mile of Blue Ball.
Years to come. no one knows how
soon, will witness its completion to
our County Seat where 1t will con-
meet with the section already built
to Chesapeake City and on through
the county.
