Erecting Fine Barn.

DR.. J. Norman Henry is having
erected on his Piney Creek Farm. in
Elk Neck, a fine barn embracing
features that will make it one Of the
most complete to be found anywhere.
The main structure is 42x96 feet,
with two wings each 20x40, and an
l. extension 42x72. The walls are
of concrete to the second story, and
framed above. The floors are of
cork for the cattle, and yellow pine
for the horses. All walks are paved
with wooden blocks, all the floors
being laid on a concrete base. A
complete drainage and sewerage sys-
tenn is under the entire building.
Ventilation is under complete con-
troll, furnishing a continuous supply
of fresh air, and carrying off all foul
air without draughts. There will be
accommodation for 80 cows, and Is
horses. Each animal will drink from
an automatic drinking cup, that
starts flow of pure fresh water at
the touch of the animals lips. The
building is also to be fitted up with
toilet and bath and other accommo-
dations for the care tenders. The
cost of the building will be $4,000.

Nurses On Strike.

About half the student nurses at
Union Hospital, Elkton, went on a
strike last Tuesday, packed up their
baggage and left for their homes.
Those that quit had been at the in
stitution year or more. When they
signed up as pupil nurses they were
informed that they would be paid
$3.50 per month. During the past
six months the directors found that
they could not induce young women
to become student nurses at that
amount of money, and they agreed to
pay pupils SIS per month. When
the older pupil nurses learned that
they were to receive but $3.50 per
month, and the new" pupils were
to get SIS per month, dissatisfaction
was manifested, resulting in the
colder" student nurses quitting their
jobs.-Cecil Democrat. ~

Manager Williams of the Perry
vile team, makes complaint of the
criticism by the Midland Journal in
commenting on the withdrawal OF
Perryville from the league. Mr..
Williams states that the team under
his management has always stood for
clean sport, and asks for nothing
more than a square deal. This they
have not received at the hands of
the league President, he states, ard
their withdrawal, as protest against
his arbitrary ruling, should not be
construed as poor sportsmanship, nor
should the team be held responsible
for the snarl the league now finds
itself in, as the outcome of the
ruling of it's President.

Schedule For September is
Rising Sun at Havre de Grace
Oxford at Bel Air
Aberdeen at Elkton

Elkton was scheduled to play on
the local grounds Saturday last, but
owing to a game they had previously
arranged, notified the management
they would be forced to forfeit.
Therefore game was arranged with
Perryville and as usual drew large
crowd and another very close game.
James was on the mound for the Sun
and pitched in wonderful form, his
support at times was little ragged,
but he was always in the game.
This was his first appearance with
the Sun club and chances are the
fans will have the opportunity to
look him over again in the near
future. Alexander for Perryville
pitched good ball, but his support
also was not up to standard. Joe
Johnson's base running was one of
the features of the game. He is not
only fast but has the hook-slide dowr
to perfection. These teams will clash
again before long, and both are over
anxious to get the opportunity. The
score:

the complaint on the evening of Sep

valued at $4,000, and large
quantity of fine rock and trout were

There have been numerous reports
received by the State Game Depart

ment is determined to break up this
character of violation, and if such
violations occur again, the Deputy
Wardens have been authorized to
confiscate boats and rigs, which were

COMMITTEE.


A largely attended meeting of
milk producers of this locality was
held Wednesday afternoon in Rising
Sun public hall for discussion OF
the milk situation, which has as
sumed a serious turn.
The hundreds of patrons of the
P. E. Sharpless Co. plant of this
town, which every month distributes
thousands of dollars to our farmers
and dairymen for the product of
their herds, were met by represent
atives of the Company, who apprised
them of the fact that owing to the
condition of the evaporated, or con-
densed milk market, there being no
sale at all for this brand of goods at
the present time, it would be neces-
sary to abandon the manufacture OF
the condensed product for the pres
ent, and merely use their finely
equipped plant here as a separator,
shipping the cream to their Concord
vile, Pa, plant for manufacture into
butter, returning the skim milk to
the patrons here.
The producer would be paid for
the cream, or butter fat, and not for
the whole milk. The proposition and
price offered was put up to the Inter-
State Milk Producers Association. of
which most of our dairymen are
members, and the decision will be
made known later, after the entire
situation has been canvassed,
