Wentworth Alumni Meet.

In respOnce to an invitation
from VIM. Aull, Jr., president
Of the Wentworth Alumni AS
sociation, a large number of the
alumni gathered Thursday night
in the Academy dining room.
The purpose Of the meeting
was, first, to perfect the organ
ization, which had been inactive
since the beginning of the
World War, and, second, to fix
an objective-some d e mite
course of action whereby the
association would be of some
benefit to itself as we'll as to
the school. 1t was shown that
nearly three hundred Lexington
boys had attended Wentworth
at different times and that a.
bout one hundred we're now liv-
ing in Lexington or in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
No earnest attempt has ever
been made before to bring to-
gether all of the local former
students and this meeting af-
forded the opportunity to learn
Of "Who's Who" Those who had
attended the school in its early
days were unknown to later
students, and meeting fellow
townsmen in new and common
environs was pleasant sur
prise.
II was proposed at this meet
ing that the alumni erect a me-
mortal on a suitable part of the
campus, to the Wentworth boys
who made the supreme sacrifice
in the World War. A committee
win be appointed to formulate
the program, and compile a reg
lister of all the former students
A yearly homecoming viii be
arranged.

Athletics Drop to Second Place.
The Higginsville team defeat
ed the Athletics Sunday after
noon at Athletic Park by the
score of l to 0, and thereby
gain the lead in the county
league. The locals gave the game
away in the sixth inning when
Mackie, playing third base, hit
a runner in the back with the
ball, who had been trapped be-
tween third and home, allowing
him to score. Forshler, Higgins
ville's big southpaw, had the
locals at his mercy all through
the game, letting them down
with two clean hits. Shahan,
pitching for the Athletics, al
lowed six hits.
These two teams play next
Sunday at Higginsville.
The game Monday with Rich
mond resulted in a verdict for
the Athletics, 8 to 8.

Urges Removal Of Weeds

Former President Of County Com
missioners Frank M. Stevens, Of Fred
erick county, Md, has recommended
to farmers a campaign 10 eliminate
weeds and underground from the
improved highways Of the county. His
plan is for each land owner to re-
move and burn the weeds from his
abuting property, thus providing more
road space and 4 better view OF the
landscape.
Hundreds of tourists pass over the
highways of this county every day."
said Mr.. Stevens, and every one of them
is impressed with our splendid high
ways, picturesque scenery, substantial
homes and productive farm land. The
beauty of the landscape, however, is
marred by a growth OF weeds to be
found along every road, in places
extending from the fence on both sides
practically to the hard bed Of the road.
II this growth were removed, the
beauty of the country would be greatly
enhanced. Farmers in the West have
regular campaigns Of weed removing
with results that hate gone beyond ex-
pectation. was very much Impress
ed with this on a recent Western trip,
and have come to the conclusion that
it would be good move for the farm
ers in every county of the State to
emulate.
"The way it is done in the West,
particularly in California, is that every
farmer removes the weeds and under
growth along the roads fronting his
farm. This makes a clean sweep OF
the weeds and presents an entirely
different appearance to the land. In
places in this county, as we'll as in
counties all over the State, weeds grow
nearly to the fence top, leaving only
a narrow stretch Of road. 1t is not
an exaggeration to say that nearly one
half of some Of the roads is taken up
with an unsightly growth Of weeds and
. ~ ioi iOuiiStS HulSh W uOtiSC
rural conditions and, with the weeds
eliminated, our splendid farms and
good roads would attract constant at
tention and cause the most favorable
comment.
81 make this suggestion because
have seen the good results of doing
away with weeds along public roads.
While refer specifically to Frederick
county, feel that farmers in every
county in the State would profit by the
adoption OF this plan. Farmers are be-
ginning to cooperate in buying and
selling. think it would be a good
idea for them to extend their co-opera-
ton TO include improving the appear
ance of their farm land"
