SIX VESSELS BRING
RELIEF TO WARSAW
Distribution Of Supplies Is
Hampered BY Traffic Trouble
and Labor Problems.

WARSAW. April I4.-six steam
ships containing $4,000 tons of Amcri-
can food supplies In addition to quan.
titles OF medical and relief supplies
have arrived in Danzig. These n~c
the first large shipments in bulk Of
American supplies to reach Poland
since her period OF greatest ned be-
gan. Five additional steamers are
expected In Danzig shortly.
At American Red Cross headq,ar-
ters the complaint has been made thar
great delay was being experienced in
getting the cargoes from Danzig to
Warsaw.
70 TONS or SUPPLIES.
The Salaam brought twenty-six tons
of medicinal supplies, which were
sorely needed in the work here, but
which, SO far, have not been received.
Delays in unloading are almost in
variable on account of labor troubles
In Danzig. After this the overbur-
dened condition of the traffic between
here and Danzig makes shipment a
slow process. Shortage of rolling
stock Is now making the provisioning
Of Warsaw a matter of particularly
great difficulty.
Polish newspapers here have given
much space to the news of the arrival
Of these shipments, describing each
cargo as II arrives In detail. Tho
steamers that have been reported 80
far are the West Zede, Salaam, Dan.

Death OF Philip T. Long.

On Friday night. Sept. 23rd, a we'll
known and prominent figure passed
away in the person of Mr. Philip T..
Long.
Horn in st. Mary's county "a years
ago. he came TO Micomico. Md. about
the yearls and during those thirty
years he succeeded by his industry
and business capacity in establishing
himself as one OF the leading merchants
in the county. Though of quiet and
undemonstrative nature, he took keen
interest in all matters relating TO the
welfare of the community.
For yearly two years he suffered al
most constantly from serious illness.
During those trying years his devoted
wife did everything she could to COM
fort him and alleviate his suffering,
and that he lived so long was in great
part due TO her care and attention.
Father Bradley, for whom the de-
ceased had a warm regard, attended
him frequently and administered TO
him the sacraments of the church..
The esteem and respect in which he
was held by all who knew him was ev-
idenced by the unusually large funeral
that followed his remains to the church
on Monday morning. Requiem High
Mass was celebrated by Father Brad
ley, who also said the last prayers at
the grayeside
Surviving Mr. Long are his widow,
Mrs. Lucy NJ. Long, and four chill
dren-Mrs. Dosie Davis, Mrs. Mamie

Cherries County Team Wins
cattle-Judsins Contest.

County Agent John p. Burdette has
received notice from the Department
OF Agriculture stating that the Charles
team won the cattle Judging contest at
the recent Marlboro Fair.
Each Of the five counties Of South
ern Maryland sent TO the Marlboro
Fair a team OF three boys, selectrd
from the Boys Agricultural Clubs of
their county, to contest in the judging
of Jersey and Guernsey cattle. The
boys judged as individuals and as
county teams, and gave their decisions
and reasons in writing. The cattle
were then judged By experts from the
Department of Agriculture. The boys
reports we're turned over to these
judges who announced the winners.
The Charles county team, composed
OF William NJ. Burdette, OF La Plata;
s. S. Lancaster, Jr., of Rock Point,
and Leonard Herbert, of Tonpkins-
Vile, was found TO be the best OF the
five judging teams and was awarded
first prize for judging. The team will
receive $2i as premium.
In the individual judging contest
first and second places were also won
by Charles county boys. ). 5. Lam
caster, Jr., was best Judge and received
IS as a reward. Leonard Herbert won
second prize, s., and Ellsworth Rip

Agricultural Notes.

Some people are asking, what has
become OF tie Creamery. Il has been
a matter OF grave concern as TO the
hest place to put the Creamery. We
do not want il built and then IN a year
have il condemned by the state Health
authorities. Only those who have been
responsible for the site know what II
has meant 10 get the right place.
How can the farmers prepare for the
Creamery can hear some one say,
we do not have any preparing TO do.
When you once begin to sell your
cream at the Creamery and have
some OF IL condemned, or when you get
your cream check and it is only half
as large as your neighbours. who has
no more cows than you have, then you
viii know what | mean by saying that
we need 10 get ready for the Creamery.
There are two things we would like
to emphasize at the beginning OF these
notes OF butter production. You must
have a good quality Of cream TO make
a good quality OF butter. You must
have a good COW to get high percent
of butter fat.
II nothing unforeseen happens, the
Creamery will start up the beginning
OF the coming year. 1t will be the best
time to begin. for it will be easier for
the farmer to furnish good cream at
this time of the year than any other
time. The cream at this tine of the
year vii not sour SO quickly and when
once the farmer realizes what it means
to get cream check twice a month he
will prepare for the hot days and fur
nish sweet cream all the year around.
To furnish sweet cream it is not alone
enough TO keep the cream cool. The
vessels in which the milk is kept and
the cream is kept must be kept clean.
Now that seems a very easy thing to
say, but when you begin to do it you
will find ii requires d certain knowl-
edge of milk that a great many people
do not possess. First, the fact that
no hot water should come in contact
with the milk on the tin or granite or
wooden receptacle in which the milk is
kept. First wash thoroughly with
cold water and then with boiling
water. Cream and milk are easily set
with hot water and no amount of wash
ing will get it of.
As to a high percent of butter fat.
It will be no more expensive to pro-
duce good milk than it will poor milk.
The quantity of milk will not mean
much to you If you sell cream. The
quality will mean every thing. Feed
ing will help very much. but the scrub
COW will not do the work of good
grades or pure hreds You will not
need warm stables but you will need
well-lighted and dry, clean stables.
let me emphasize the latter part Of
this remark. The stables must be kept
clean to produce good clean cream.
And II the cream IS not clean the but
ter cannot be good and pure. Let US
get the habit OF good clean milk this
fall and we will be prepared when the
creamery opens. More next week.
