Baltimore, Nd, June 20, 1924.
Dear Editor
We ask you to publish in your most
valuable paper, this entire sale of to-
baceo, made for Mr.. Il. o. Moore, OF
Upper Marlboro, Md, which is an en-
tire crop Of Is hogsheads. This price,
while We believe is the highest ever OBJ
tanned on the Baltimore market for
this grade Of tobacco, was not a fancy
quality tobacco, but it was stripped,
graded, packed and guaranteed by Mr..
Moore as to grade and condition, and
our object is to bring this to the atten-
ton of Southern Mary land, and to
say, "What Mr. Moore has done all
can do, as we have often pleaded
with Southern Maryland tobacco grow
ers. Raise better tobacco and then
take care of it. Stand strictly by your
selling Organization that can produce
selling results, and yen won't know
Southern Maryland in five years.
Common, poorly stripped, badly
packed, poorly conditioned tobacco
will not bring one-third this average,
and would cost as much to raise.

Securing Statistics
 On Night High School

The school committee is seeking to ascertain the approximate num- ber who would be likely to enroll in evening high school classes, pro- Vided such classes were started. Admission will be restricted to ap- plicants who are over II years of age and who have the equivalent Of grammar school diploma, thus re- quiring that prospective students shall have completed the eighth grade.
 All who desire to enroll for such classes may fill out registration cards, which will be available be- tween 30 and 9;S0 o'clock on the evenings of Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, october S, and s, at the Washington evening school on High street. the Elihu Burritt even ing school ons North street, and the Central evening school.
 There is little likelihood of even- ing high school classes being started this winter, as Superintendent S. H. Holmes stated at the last meeting of the school board that such classes had proved unsatisfactory from the point of view of attendance in the past, but the board voted to asCer- tain the demand, which, if large enough, will lead to the establish, ment Of evening classes for more advanced pupils than are now en- rolled.

 ARMY GOODBYE
Has Been in the Service Of
 Uncle Sam Over S5 Years

With over 35 years of service in the United States army and National Guard behind him.

 Sergeant Beckwith has only praise for this city saying that he has had many good times here and made many friends, He expects to leave tonight or tomorrow morning for New London, where he will take it easy for the rest of his life, if such an active man can take. 1t easy.
