NR. KEMP DROPS COUNTY POCL
TRY ASSOCIATION

To the Poultry Producers of Carroll
County: | have resigned as president
Of the Carroll County Poultry Assocl-
alton on account of the confusion re-
suting from my holding the same po-
stion with the Maryland State Poul-
try Association, and l would like to
take this occasion to urge upon you
the necessity of at once joining the
State organization. The future useful
ness of the Carroll County Poultry As
socation depends upon each individ-
ual member at once identifying him
self with the Maryland State Poultry
Association
| recommend that at the next year
" meeting of the county organization
that it be reorganized to conform
to the plans that will be formulated
by the State organization. In the Mary
land State Poultry Association this
State has one of the best poultry or
CARNATIONS in the entire United States.
1t gives to the pCultrymen a business
organization that will be able to cope
with every problem that will confront
the industry. 1t is already advertising
Maryland bred poultry through the
poultry and agricultural press and at
Il meeting in Baltimore. January %,
Market Bureau was formed for the
purpose of handling graded eggs and
TO collectively purchase supplies Tor
its members.
1t is my cherished desire that Car
roll County will be the first to organ
ze under this Market Hl3ureau and
collectively grade and market strictly
fresh table eggs and collectively pur-
chase poultry supplies. This can be
done through the reorganization Of the
Carroll County Poultry Association.
The State association will be prepar-
cd to outline the rules and regulations
under which this can be done in the
next couple weeks and l hope that old
Carroll will lead the van of counties
that are sure to fall in line to place
strictly fresh table eggs, guaranteed
by the Maryland State Poultry Asso-
citation, on the markets of the State.
| want to set at rest any rumors
concerning the financial returns that
the officers and board of directors of
the State association are receiving.
These men are giving their time and
attention to your business without
one cent of compensation. They have
been paving their own travelling ex
penses and have not drawn one dollar
from the treasury for their personal
use. They want to see this organiZa-
ton put on its feet and they are will
ing to forget their own personal in
terests to do so. The least the poultry
men of Carroll county can do is to
send at once 50 for membership to
Mr.. Aaron Fell, Bethesda, Md, who is
the Secretary-treasurer. Remember
under any circumstances, if you hope
to benefit through the State associa-
tion, you will have to support it to
that extent
The poultry prospect today is the
one bright spot in the sky for the
farmer of Maryland-if he will take
advantage of his opportunities. Back
up the Maryland State Poultry Asso-
citation and you will find you have a
business organization that will stand
between you and the world at large.
Sincerely yours,
THOMAS w. KEMP.

FLAG RAISING-CONCER
AN EVENT OF WEDNESDAY
Judge Cooper's Liberality and Public
Spirit is Appreciated by Band
Boys and Citizens

A 1otAble event in the affairs of
this community was the flag-raising
and hand concert, which took place
at the new band-Stand on the bay
front, Wednesday afternoon. Fully
three hundred people were present
and enjoyed the exercises.
Mayor c. c. Carleton acted as mas
ter Of ceremonies and, in a short, but
very appropriate speech, explained
the object of the gathering. In be-
half of Judge William Fennimore
Cooper, donor of the beautiful band
stand, and of R. M. King. who pre-
sented the band with a splendid
United States flag, he expressed the
gratitude of the community to those
two patriotic and generous citizens.
Following his remarka the band
played the Star Spangled Banner;
and, during the strains of the stirring
music, the national colors presented
by Mr.. King, were hoisted to the top
of the Flagstaff over the band-stand
by Miss Elizabeth Cooper, the beauti-
full and accomplished daughter OF the
late Senator F. NJ. Cooper.
Mr Carleton then introduced Col.
J. H. Hancock, who, in a few we'll
chosen words, accepted in behalf of
the band the beautiful flag and stand
and expressed the profound thanks
of the band members for those sup
l.
stressed the great value to the COM
munity of a well trained band, such
as the one with which the town is
now blessed.
The members of the band. who
dressed in their attractive new uni
forms, then rendered several musical
numbers, all of which proved their
efficiency and delighted the great
crowd The entire proceedings
aroused t he greatest enthusiasm
amongst those present.

COUNTY DIVISION PEOPLE
WIN OUT IN LEE COUNTY
Henderson, Running ON Division
Platform, Elected by Majority
of 81 Over Hendry

r. A. Henderson, county division
candidate for the legislature in Lee
county, was elected over his oppon-
ent, Berry" Hendry the anti-divis-
ion candidate, by a majority of 81
in the primary of Tuesday. Perry,
of Fort Myers, candidate for the SEN
ate, who was opposed to division, was
badly defeated by Malone, of Key
West, who is said to favor division.
The division fight in Lee county
was carried by the people of LaBelle,
thriving town about half way be-
tween Fort Myers and Moore Haven,
on the Caloosohatchee river. The
people of LaBelle made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to have Hendry coun-
ty created at the last session of he
legislature, but with representative
elected on a division platform and
the senator friendly to their cause,
the prospect of realizing their ambi-
tion at the next session is bright
The Caloosahatchee Current, the
LaBelle paper, which Is printed in
Punta Gorda, was strong factor in
the election, presenting many logical
and unanswerable arguments in ia
vor of division.
