CHESTNUT TREES DIE
IN CATOCT1N RANGES

FREDERICK. Md, October II (Spe-
ciaD.-As a tnut-producing sec
ton the Catoctin mountain ranges,
running through the western section
OF the county. will cut no figure this
year. The fine chestnut groves, which
a few years ago sent thousands of
bushels of nuts to Baltimore, Wash
ington and New York, have ceased to
exist.
The blight. for which no cure or
remedy has been found, has killed
thousands of trees.
The chestnut tree scourge has not
been confined to any one locality. 1t
has reached from one section of the
range to the other, and in a few years
killed more than so per cent of the
nut-bearing trees.
Killing frosts have opened burrs.
There will be a small crop, enough
for home consumption and the de-
mand of the local market. but there
will be few shipmen ts to either Balti-
more or Washington, and practically
none to New York

Orchardists and farmers are wary
about converting their apples into
cider on account of the strict govern

attached to the manufacture of cider
in large quantities is SO great that
they would rather not run the risk
of using apples for elder. except for
home consumption.

Mr.. Walker said, while in the assem-

the replies were favorable to the

no action in endorsing any candidate

the teachers themselves to decide at
the election. Mr.. Walker said IL is
customary annually to interview the
candidates for the assembly and

the conviction that Harding will have
not less. than 36S, probably 395 cleo

number required to elect is 266.

cial services at st. Mary's Church
yesterday morning in memory of the
death of Lord Mayor Terrence Mac
Swiney in Brixton prison last Mon
day. About ESQ friends of Ireland

high mass and nearly all those who
attended the 10:45 o'clock mass
were men.
Dean Cantwell in his sermon on the
death of the Cork mayor, stated that
never in the annals of history was
there a human ordeal more terrific
than the seventy-three day fast and
death of Lord Mayor Mayor Mac
Swiney. He endured the tortures of
the extreme fast, and suffered pain
of body, but his soul grew all the
greater and his spirit filled the
whole worldI His fast and death
taught the world the value of liber-
ty, and that only death would bring
liberty.
The pastor continued tnat Lord
Mayor McSwiney, a man of 16O
pounds when he was put in prison,

spirit of McSwiney is the spirit of

years OF torment and persecution he
continued, the history of Ireland can
be summed up in two words faith
and fatherland. He stated the mar
