MARYLAND BOYS AT DAIRY
SHOW

The Boys Judging Team that went
from Maryland TO compete in the Ma
tional Dairy Show, at Syracuse, N. Y.
took eighth place in the line of win.
ners. B. B. Derrick the County
Agent, went with the boys and he
does not hesitate to say the competi-
tion was strong.
John Joesting and Mason Wilson,
of Hartford county, and Horace Sid
we'll, latter of Cecil county, who COM
posed the Poy's team, did their best
in the juds 4g of herds, but the palm
went to the state Of Illinois. SO hot
was the competition that only fifty
points separated the first five States
out Of a possible 1000 points.
There were % States in the race
and that the team from Hartford and
Cecil counties should have come
eighth is speaking lots to their
credit.

MAY GET ae CENTS ON DOLLAR


With net earnings about>$75, 900
during the entire time it was in bust
ness, the Dollings Company paid to
its stockholders 100000 in divi-
dends, and advanced a similar
amount to it's. subsidiaries for the
payment of dividends that ware not
earned. These facts are disclosed in
a preliminary report filed in the
United States District Court by
Thomas Raeburn White, receiver of
the company.
Despite these rather gloomy rev.
elations the receiver gives "a ray OF
hope to the stockholders of the Doll
ings Company by stating that if a
proposed compromise with the Com
imercial Truck Company and the
Commercial Truck Service Company
goes through with the sanction of the
Court about 100000 will be added
to the present assets, which have
been appraised at $643,147.93
which would bring the net assets, UP
to over 100000 and indicate THAT
the stockholders will get something
over 26 per cent. instead of about 20
per cent. the estimates based on the
report Of the appraisers.
