The Maryland Soil Improvement
Special operated by the B. & o. r. R,
Co., in cooperation with the Univer-
sity Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service and Experiment Station,
which stopped at Childs Aug. 30,
between $50 and 6 P. M. proved =
big success.
approximately 125 farmers were
in attendance with rs samples OF
soil for the experts to test for lime
requirement, while experts made
short talks on Lime and Soil Ferti-
lily Building,
Many surprises were In store for
those bringing samples, as the tests
showed some soils needed no lime
while others required 3,000 pounds
per acre.
The real lessen taught by this
meeting was Have Your Soils Test
ed for Lime Requirements Before
Purchasing Your Lime" The coun-
ty Agents Office is equipped with
a soil testing outfit for lime require
ments and the County Agent will
glad to test all soils reeeiyed and

WRONG TO PUT CREPE ON FLAG

The effort of many people to express
sorrow over the death of President
Harding has resulted in a number of
glaring infractions of the rules governing
the display of the Stars and Stripes.
Crepe should never be allowed to come
in contact with the American flag, in
fact the colors should be in contact with
no object of any nature whatever. 1t is

GOVERNMENT WINS SUIT
o. s. GETS RIGHT TO MAKE RAIL-
ROAD ALTER BRIDGE SPAN

ROAD ALTER BRIDGE SPAN
In a suit brought by the Delaware
Railroad Company and Pennsylvania
Railroad Company against John w.
Weeks, Secretary of War, to restrain
the Government from requiring the
corporations to remove or alter the
bridge spanning the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, the Government has
won according to final decree hand
ed down by Judge Morris in the
United States District Court, who
heard argument many months ago
in the case.
Judge Morris upheld the Govern
ment but denied the right of the
United State to interfere with the
abutments at either end of the bridge
and holds that the question of COM
pensation for damages is one that
Congress must decide.
The removal of the pier in the can
ter of the stream, the opinion states,
will amount to a practical destruc-
ton of the bridge and the construc-
ton of a new span covering the width
of the canal from bank to bank will
cost thousands of dollars.
The imposition of this burden with
out compensation, he says, will seem
at least a hardship, as the cost OF
erecting such Q span has been esti-
mated at $SQ9,e09. Railroad en-
gipeers claim that the cost of such

1 writer wishes to outline briefly how
the rural districts of the State may
make child-b bearing safer for their wom-
en- and the rearing of larger number
Of healthy children possible.
1t is realized that the giving of adj
vice is comparatively easy and that
the living conditions in rural COM
munties on more or less isolated
farms make it difficult for mothers
to take the best care either Of them
selves or Of their children.
There is, however, in this field the
strongest natural human force to APP
peal to, namely, maternal instinct, which
when aroused and shown the way will
assist in improving the present situa-
ton.

THE need is really great. In 1927 in

REALTY
Marvellous Investment, New
York Man Tells Friends
= After Short Stay Here.
By ROBERT F. HOLDEN,

"Buy lots. build now and save
regrets"
This terse advice was. handed
out by a man in Washington writ
ing to a friend in New York rela-
tive to investments in the District
Of Columbia.
Immediately the thought comes
that the man was a realtor and
attempting to make sale. How
ever, such is not the case. He is
@ New York man who has been
in Washington four weeks on
: business.
During the four weeks he has
purchased three pieces of property
and is negotiating for a fourth and
larger buy.
He is wondering why the resi-
dents of Washington will let an
outsider come here and puy some
of the most desirable real estate
under their noses.
He frankly said that the people
of this section do not realize their
opportunities in purchasing real
estate now for future profits.
He said that if any Washington.
ian would take the trouble to
travel arounct the country and
look into conditions in many of the
. larger cities, he would come back
and invest all he had in his home
town.
While this is one mans opinion
it is indicative of the present sltua-
ton in real estate.
Buying is brisk and for very
good reason, but it seems to be a
human attribute for those nearest
!: TO opportunity to either ignore its
!. presence or to think it is a mirage.
: :. Washington has again startled
: xhe nation with its building &C
fivity.
In 1921 when $24.s27,1s4 was
-expended in construction, many
: said the peak had been reached and
the pace could not be kept. The
: same comment was made at the emo
of 1922 when the total construc-
ton program for the year passed
the $49. 000, 900 mark.
January and February OF 1873
have shown a total of more than
$4,000, 900 and there are still ten
more months to go.

applies to the situation--"There'
