TOMATO OUTLOOK.
Market Strong-Bright Prospect For
Canneries.

Market Strong-Bright Prospect For
Canneries.
Those who are closely watching
the tomato canned goods trade are
advising farmers to plant large acre
ages of tomatoes for the canning
factories. These persons are pre-
dieting that the entire stock of can
ned tomatoes in the United States
will be used by August 1st, at the
rate that it is going at the present.
The price of canned tomatoes has
been mounting, with a steady de-
mand, and most of the canneries
have sold their entire pack on hand,
a condition that the owners have not
experienced in long time.
When the World War came, with
the government paying almost any
price for canned tomatoes, most OF
the factories canned large QUAINT
tiles and packed greatly in advance
of their orders.

STATE TAX ON GASOLINE.

The new State gasoline tax law,
taxing all "gas" used by vehicles on
public highways / cent per gallon,
went into effect Thursday, June l..
After that day every wholesaler
bringing gasoline into Maryland will
be required to make returns to the
Comptroller on all sales and make
the necessary payments to the State
once a month. The purchaser, how
ever. will not be required to make
direct returns, since the tax is paid
to the Comptroller by the whole
saler.
The funds derived from the gaso-
line tax will be devoted to reducing
the long-standing deficit of more
than $1.000,000 in the maintenance
fund of the State Roads Commits
sion, which is expected to be wiped
out entirely by January 1, 1924. On
that date a tax of cents per gall
lon, designed to replace the present
system of license taxation. will go
into effect.

RALLY DAY.
Public Schools OF County Make Fine
Showing.

Good weather favored the ninth
annual Rally Day of the Cecil Coun-
ty Schools, held in Elkton, on Fri
day last. Every school was repre-
sented in the parade that marched
through the principal streets of the
town, starting at ten o'clock. The
various schools, headed by their
teachers, all presented a pretty ap-
pearance, with banners, flags and
other distinguishing marks, as they
moved over the line of march, to the
accompaniment of martial music by
Elkton, Cecilton and the Boys High
School Band of Brunswick, Md. The
parade was the largest and best ever
held by the schools.
An exhibit of school work was dis
played in the Armory, and was fine
one, showing what the children can,
and are doing, in our schools under
training of our teachers.
In the afternoon the schools as
sembled at the Elkton ball park
were folk dances were prettily exc
cuted and athletic sports held.
The meet was won by the Elkton

RICHARDS OAK.
Tablet Unveiled Sketch Of
Historic Old Tree.

and comfort to Lafayette and his
toil-worn soldiers, as they made
their toilsome way from the Head of
the Elk to Baltimore, via Bald Friar.
And still in spirit of help and
cheer, it welcomed the weary bands
Of those who had again responded
to their country's call, when wars
dark clouds had again enshrouded
the land in the perilous days of the
Civil War.
Then, here's to the oak, the brave
old oak,
Who stands in his pride alone;
And still fiourishes he, a hale, green
tree,
Though hundreds of years have
gone.
Thos. Richards, the first owner OF
this land, of whom, we have definite
knowledge, came to Cecil County IN
1897, from Chester County, Pa, and
purchased tract of 400 acres, said
to have been decided him by no less
a parsonage than VIM. Penn. Mr.
Richards subsequently sold 1OO
acres of this domain; but reserved
the part, containing the Big Oak
Tree. It remained in his family for
many years, but was given the
family name only in 1871, by the
late P. S. P. Conner, who, at that
time, made it's first photograph.
In conclusion, must be permitted
to say word of appreciation of the
women of the Hytheham Club,
whose love Of Nature and of Ma
ture's God; whose pride in the tra-
ditions of their State and their
County, have impelled to conceive, to
undertake, to achieve this magnifi-
cent work of preservation. With
perseverance untiring, they have
won this goal, and to them, be honor
and praise and gratitude.
Their heritage is worthy of such
deeds. Twenty-Five years ago, the
Hytheham Club had it's origin in the
town of Port Deposit, numbering
among it's most ardent promoters,
the gracious lady, from whose hos
pitable Port Home, it had it's name,
the lady, the wife of the senior SEN
ator from Maryland.
U. S. Senator France had expected
to be present to deliver an address
but was unable to leave Washington
and his regrets were presented by
Mr.. Frank Benson.
Mr.. Foster, of Baltimore, an ex-
pert in forestry, spoke at some
length, suggesting that the lana
upon which the tree stands be deed
ed to the tree and placed under the
guardianship of the Hytheham, or
some other interested organization.
The bronze tablet which has been
placed upon the tree, was then un-
yelled by little Misses Alice Rich
ards and Christine Cameron. The
tablet is inscribed as follows:
