"Shall we Sell or Electrify
the Farm?"

This question has arisen in the mind
of many farmer who is "getting on in
years" and who begins to feel that it is
about his time o give up the grinding
hard work he has always had to do,
retire and take things easy. So he
thinks of selling the farm and moving
to town. Many farmers do this, almost
always to their later regret, because they
find that they are not comfortable in
town and that while they don't want to
grind as they've always had to before
still they miss their farm work and
farm interests. So they fail to find
satisfaction after all.
Others have struck much better So
luton of the broblem during the last
few years, within which time the farm
electric plant has put in its appearance
and changed the whole face of country
life. The farmer who reached the re-
firing age finds that it isn't at all nee
essary for him to go to town to find
the leisure that he needs. He find
that it he electrifes his farm, the drudg-
cry will disappear from work, chores
almost do themselves, and he'll have an
extra hired man.
Electrical conven fences of all kinds,
such as washing machines, vacuum
sweepers and fiat irons will make his
wife's lot much easier and give her, too,
the increased leisure that she needs as
m uch as he does.
They will have in their house bright
andEsafe electric lights in every room
upstairs aud down, lights in the halls
controller from either floor, lights on
the porches and at the barn that can be
turned on and off, from the house.
They VIII have bath room with hot
and cold running water. There will
be water on tap in the kitchen, faucets
outside for sprinkling the lawn.
All of these conveniences come with
electricity, and the farmer who
takes advantage of them fnds that he
no longer has to think of selling the
farm and moving to town for ease and
comfort in his declining years. he
can enjoy them much better right on
the farm where he has spent his life,
and he can still take an interest in his
life work

ANNOUNCEMENT
by the
Maryland Tobacco
-'- Growers Association

This is te inform you that your AS
sociation has this day sold 64O hogs-
heads of common seconds and $40 hogs
heads of common dull. This is very
satisfactory sale, taking all things into
consideration, being the largest single
sale of tobacco ever made on the Baltl-
more market. This sale was mace
three to five cents above prevailing
prices on this market, and one of the
attractions to.the buyer was that he had
stock to fill his orders in day, sur
rounded by conditions that appeal to
man whose time is an item and where
comprehensive service and business
methads are appreciated,
In view of the fact, however, that
there is much of he lower grades OF
tobacco still unsold on the. Baltimore
market and cannot be sold at a profit
able price, we are certainly glad to re-
mort that the members of your Associa-
ton seem to be unanimously working
to a point that will overcome this con-
dition. Reports from our field man,
Mr.. VIM. F. Chesley Jr., who is max
ing membership campaign in connec-
ton with the University of Maryland,
states that all farmers interviewed and
many non members, realize that the
only solution of the problem is as out
lined by your Association.
Cut your crop at least ~ per cent
and make that good, high grade tobac-
! CO. Handle, strip, grade and pack SO
that the b uyer of your products knows
by the sample just what he is getting.
Cut out nondescript land and monde
script tobacco and you will be well palc
| for every pound you raise.
Your Association is in position te
dc fnitely state this is the only means
of solving our problem. Have plar
not hope.
Yours respectfully,

Tt occasionally happens IN the
history of a State or City that
a man in public Office renders
great and almost inestimable SER
vice to the government and the
people, in such a modest and
unass uming way that the public
generally know very little, II
anything at all, about what ne is
doing. Such is the case at the pres
ect time in Maryland, especially
in regard to the able and courtly
fnancier who holds the office OF
State Treasurer, Mr.. John nj.
Dennis. At time when all
sorts of public securities are go
ing begging, and are practically
dead on the market, when States
a.nd Municipalities are literally
on their ku TO lanciers and
financia tutions, begging
them to purchase or sell for
them, $50 Ks and bonds so that
they may be able to go on with
the work of needed public i'm
provements, when even the City
of Baltimore is undergoing SER
ious troubles in disposing of it's
loans, except at a great sacra-
flee, and all municipal improve
ments are thus delayed or held
up, the State of Maryland,
through the able financing Of Mr..
Dennis, is having no difficulty
whatever in disposing of it's bond
issues for roads and other i'm
provements, at prices above
the figures obtained for such
securities by public officials
elsewhere. It is not often that
aState or municipality is SO for
tunate as to be able to get man
like Mr.. Dennis to take charge
of its fiscal affairs. AS a banker
and business man he ranks second
to no one in the City and State,
and as conscientious publics Of
fetal he has never had any super
ior in the history of Maryland,
and very few have been equals in
ability and financial skill. AS
State Treasurer in time like the
present, his services have been
above measure and the people
are entitled to know what he has
done and what he is doing, at
the present time.
The country people are especi-
ally entitled to know of his great
service to the public, for like a
large number of the ablest busi-
ness men of Baltimore, Mr.. Den
mis- is country born and bred,
and the members of his family
as country men, have been
among the leaders in Maryland
for several generations, both on
the Eastern Shore and in West
ern Md, and Frederick County,
from which place he came to Bal
tinore in early manhood, is not
little proud Of him as one Of her
most successful and distinguish
ed sons. With Governor Ritchie
and Comptroller Lee he forms
the Board of Public Works, and
these three able gentlemen are
untirl If their zeal to keep
the ST. .e's finances and the
States crC 4 the high plane
where they we been, in the
