MIR. PLUMMER TO BE E. A.
STROUT'S AGENT.

Mr.. L. w. Plummer, of this city,
has just received announcement of
his appointme Mt as local manager of
the f. A. Strout Farm Agency, Inc,
which has established selling office
in Westminster The effect of this
step will be to give Westminster rep
resentation in the largest farm SELL
ing organization in the world.
The appointment as representative
of the lStrout Agency carries with it
unusual opportunities for the devel-
opment of a profitable farm broker
age business and the man receiving
such an appointment must usually
have shown qualifications in that line
which justify his selection for that
post. Mr.. Plummer therefore is to be
congratulated upon his appointment
The establishment here of Strout
Agency should be of distinct advan-
tage to this community. That agency
has more than six hundred represen-
tatives throughout the country and
conducts an extensive advertising
campaign. This new move should re-
suit in bringing to this section num-
erous farm purchasers with money
to invest in farms which have been
abandoned or should bring new own
ers, new blood and new capital to
farms which are now in operation.
The community will profit from this
evidence of enterprise.

TO ASK FOR MORE BIDS

I The State Roads Commission is ad-
vertising for bids for the construction
of two more miles of state highway in
Frederick county. Bids will be sub
mitted for the building of concrete
stretch of highway from Liberty to-
ward New Windsor by way Of Oak
Orchard.
This section is a link in the pro-
posed state highway from Frederick
to Westminster by way of Ceresville,
Mt. Pleasant. Liberty. Oak Orchard
and New Windsor. The completion
will leave a gap of six miles yet to
be filled. two miles of which are in
Carroll county and the balance in
Frederick county. Liberty is already
connected with Frederick by a mod
ern macadam road and New Windsor
with Westminster by concrete high
way. The building of the road through
to Liberty will give Frederick another
state road to Baltimore.
