When the Scandinavian American
liner Frederk VIII, in yesterday, was
off the Banks of Newfoundland on Sat

Scotch Whisky Too at Din

Surrogate Wingate and Judge
MantOn Failed to Notice
Shocking Incidents.

Had the Rev James f. Crowther
OF Philadelphia stayed long enough at
the dinner of the Friday Night Glass
Of the Brooklyn Riding and Driving
Club Tuesday night he might have
impressed the diners with the wis
dom of the speech he had prepared
but never delivered. But nothing that
speech contained could have possibly
stirred the Friday Night Glass as has
the speech he delivered to newspaper
reporters after he returned to Phila-
delphia.
He said that he left because liquor
was being consumed in quantities that
made him think of nothing so much
Frank Bornn, treasurer of the class
sets forth his views regarding that
dinner. 1t may be read a little fur
ther on. This letter, and what Mr..
Crowther, who is pastor Of the Arch
Street Methodist Episcopal Churcl'
in Philadelphia, said to reporters in
his home town has rendered many of
those who attended the dinner mar
ticulate. Several Of them, seen yes
terday, were very much so.
According to Mr.. Crowther he was
invited to speak at the Friday Night
Glass dinner and accepted feeling that
he was going to have good time. He
said that the first things that met his
amazed eye as he entered the dining
room in the Montauk Club, where the
dinner was held, we're cocktails. He
drank none himself but beheld others
doing so. He is certain they were cock
tails because he says he inquired and

Then, according to the clergyman, he
observed bottles of Scotch whisky--one

looking bottle of Scotch" He says he
observed men throw rolls across the
room after time and that much hilar-
ity ensued. 1t was hilarity of the sort
whisky induces. Mr.. Crowther said. He
says he heard a song that had some
thing to do with Boots and Saddles, and
the last three words Of which were
! Drink Drink. Drink! y
Some one called for everybody to rise

rather than compromise himself, accord

Field Work To Start

The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association has announced the engage
ment of Mr.. r. Laurie Mitchell, of Ia
Plata, Md, to take up for it certain
phases of field and organization work
in the Counties which it has heretofore
been unable to give the attention that
this line of work demands.
Mr.. Mitchell's services will be avail
able at public meetings. in the South
ern Maryland Counties, of the Local
Associations and of other farmers or
CARNATIONS when they desire talks upon
. the subject of the State Association,
whenever it is possible for him to ar
range to attend. and any organization
desiring his presence should get in
touch with him at least ten days prior
to the date Of the meeting.
From time to time articles dealing
with the accomplishments of the As
sociation, it's present status and aims
for the future will appear in these
columns.
1t is realized that since the organi-
cation of the Association great deal
of adverse propaganda has been cir
culated and considerable misunder-
standing on the part of members Great
ed thereby. This can best be straight
ensd out by reaching the people
through the County press, and this
paper, following it's :policy of cooper
alton in the interest Of the farmers of
the County is cheerfully lending it's
columns to aid this important publicity.
