SCHEDULE FOR AUGUST l
Elkton at Peryville
Bel Air at H. de Grace

Elk Mills is stranded upon finan-
cial rocks and has withdrawn from
the league. Their failure to appear
on the field at Elkton last Saturday
afternoon, was the first knowledge
that the base ball fans had of their
withdrawal.
Their disarmament throws the
schedule out of gear, as but four of
the five remaining clubs can play.
The schedule placed Rising Sun at
Elk Mills on Saturday, consequently
our boys will have an enforced
layoff.
Rising Sun continued its winning
streak Saturday, and took its third
successive game, being in undis-
puted lead in the second half OF the
schedule.
Bel Air went down to defeat in g
game full of interest, and that was
nip and tuck until the last man was
out.
Raglan and McNutt both pitched
in fine style, but Rising Sun came
through one run to the good.

Special opportunities will be al
forded farmers in some of the i'm
.portant livestock producing sections
of the State to secure purebred sires
during Better Sires Week, beginning
August 3.

worked out by the University OF
Maryland Extension Service, the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.,
the Union Stockyards Co., Baltimore,
and purebred livestock associations
Of the state, purebred sires will be
shipped to five central points in the
State to be sold to farmers in those
sections who desire them.
Cumberland, Hagerstown, Fred
rick, Rockville and Bel Air have
been selected as the distributing CEN
tiers and sales will be held at the
fairgrounds at each place. A suit
able program has been arranged and
in addition to the sales. farmers will
be given ample opportunity to in

Cumberland, August 3; Hagerstewn,
August 4; friedrich, August s.;
Rockville, August &; Bel Air, Aug

Farmers in the different terrific
ries have already been canvassed by
the county agents to ascertain the
kind and number of animals desired
and the shipment to each distribut-
ing point will include the kind and
number of purebred sires to meet
the requirments of the territory.
The idea of Better Sires Week is
to stimulate interest in purebred

ton Of purebred sires, and to pro-
vide an opnortunity for farmers to
secure coed animals advantageously-

CERTIFIED POULTRY

Poultry raisers in Maryland will
soon be made acquainted with
new classification of fowls and in ad-
dition to the many varieties of the
many breeds with which they are
already familiar will be called upon
to distinguish between certified and
uncertified fiocks.
The certification of poultry tiocks
is a new undertaking in Maryland
that is being sponsored by the
Maryland Poultry Association, Inc,
in cooperation with the poultry de-
partment at the University of Mary
land. The object is to improve the
quality Of Matching eggs and breed
ing stock produced by poultrymen in
the State and to provide for the
purchaser an official assurance that
in buying from the owner OF
certified flock he is securing the best
in the way of poultry that 1t is
possible to produce.
Poultry fiocks will only be certi-
fled when they measure up to GER
tain high standards of breeding,
vigor and health and then they are
maintained according to prescribed
regulations governing sanitation and
management Flocks to be certified
must be rigidly culled of all fowls
that do not meet the requirements
of the breed or that do not show
proper health aad vigor. Numerous
inspections win be made from time
to time to see that proper feeding
and management methods are being
practiced and that sanitry conditions
are maintained.
Once a poultry Aeek has been
certified, the owner will be permitted
to sell his eggs and his day old
chicks as well as his mature breed
ing stock under the official certifi-
cation stamp. All inspections for
certification will be made under
supervision Of the Beultry depart
meRt Of the University of Maryland.
The work of poultry eertification
is expected to get under way by
September 21st in time for next
years breeding season.

FEEDING GRAIN
NOW AIDS FALL
DAIRY PROFIT

Prepare dairy cattle now for profit
able fall and winter milk production.
This is the advice given to cow owners
in a feature editorial in the current
issue Of :The Larro Dairyman."
"To produce milk consistently and %
large quantity, over q period OF time,
the editorial states, COWS must DO
brought to the best condition and kept
there, just as a successful athlete must
be conditioned by steady training.
"There is no theory about this, says
the writer, "All men who succeed with
COWS know that they cannot afford
continuously to let them get out OF
condition, and then bring back their
milk flow. 1t costs too much money
and does not get results.
Producing milk is an all-year bus
mess. It is q profitable business, too,
if business methods are employed-if
cows are kept in good condition and
producing well every day in the ye&A
regardless of seasons"
1.-THE Larro Dairyman" issues q sig
ni6cant warning against permitting the
loss of condition that occurs in the
summer time, when farmers are most
likely to rely entirely upon pasture
without realizing that such course a
more than likely to involve heavy
loss of milk and money, not eAply powa
but in fall and winter.
In commenting on thfs fact, the edi-
torial says, "Men wha are mostsucc
full, feed their COWS some grain every
day in the year. Even when grass is
at its best. they feed more lightly, hue
they give the amount to each cow that
she will eat readily. Then. as the
season advances, the amount Of feed is
increased as the grass dries and be-
comes short, hard and uApalatable.
"These men know that there are
times when they might get Just as
much milk from their cows if they
withheld the grain, and thereby added
TO their immediate profits an amount
equal TO the cost of the feed.
"Hut they also realize that this
Immediate profit would be small and
I to accept it would mean to mortgage
the future, sacrifice COW condition, and
lose larger profits when {aM and winter
come.
"Feed now for naiik next winter,
remembering chat now is every day.

Routing for Women
 Finds Enthusiastic
 Advocates m London
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 21.-NeWs that the faculty of the University college of North Wales has barred bat racing among it's fair students on the ground thGt the exercise is highly injurious 10 them has aroused the varsity girls ia o'r'ler parts of England, who con. tenu that the action is not Justified by past experiences.
 If properly trained there is no danger of straining the heart" said Miss Evelyn Cunliffe, president of the London University Womens Row ing Club, recently. "If one takes the proper care to avoid all sweets and chocolates, new bread, pastries and other choice bits so often served at afternoon teas, for long time in advance, there is no risk at all for rowing aspirants," Miss Cunliffe con- tinued. We are the oldest London women's crew and practiced inter varsity racing before any other Lon don university.
 T do not advocate mixed boat rac- ing. As yet we are not able to cope with men, and l don't think we ever shall be, as there is no sport in the world in which strength tells so much as rowing I have never seen case of ill effects from rowing, as all our candidates must have strong hearts to be allowed to take up train ing. Rowing as a sport for women is on it's way to enjoy greater popu- larity here than hockey, judging by the strides it has made during the last two years"

ALASKA BEEN ABLE MAINTAIN
 GOOD BALANCE

SEATTLE, April 21.-A dispatch to the Seattle Times from w. w. ter mane, it's Washington correspondent, said that Emmett A. Chapman. of the Far Eastern division of the Depart ment of Commerce stated, "The devel- opment of Hawaii and Alaska has been remarkable in the last decade. in view of disturbed conditions thru out the world. They have been able to maintain favorable balances of com fortable proportions and their trade which with few lines excepted is with the States, has prospered. Both have experienced temporary reverses, following the war, but each recovered quickly. The one weak spot in the economic structure of each Territory is lack of diversifcation. Alaska is almost wholly dependent upon the de mand for it's fish, copper, furs and precious metals. Both territories are attracting more tourists each year."

Film Stars Lodge Protest Against the
 Inuading Public
fRY Associated Pressl

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, April 21.- Motion picture stars who live in this Los Angeles suburb, in common with others of their profession, are not averse to publicity, but when the rub Der neck wagons exceeded what is locally regarded as the limit they promptly called upon the police for help.
 The trouble started with the sight seeing auto busses. The advertising slogan personally conducted tours to the homes of motion picture stars" proved lure, the operators found, that seldom failed to get a load of passengers out of a downtown hotel lobby in Los Angeles.
 Arriving in Beverly Hills they park ed in front of some film favorite's home, and the chap who was bark ing through the megaphone would say something like this:
 Here we have the residence of the sheba of the movies. The lady in white sitting on the verandah is her sister. The gentleman sitting on the left is her fourth husband" All of which was embarrassing and an- moving to the objects of attention. The sightseers even got bolder and would venture into the private ground surrounding the homes.
 So the residents got together and confided their troubles to the chief of police. The numbering busses may still travel the streets of Bev- erly Hills, but they are met with the order to keep moving.

Exchange Rate Vexes American Employees
 in Foreign Countries
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, April 21.-The Am
 erican dollar in some parts of the world is not always good. The Ma 1 tional Foreign Trade Council re ports this is particularly true in the majority of silver" countries of the Far East.
 The council says that the ups and downs in foreign exchange there, the ratio between what money of one country brings in money of another work a hardship on resident Ameri cans who cannot figure family bud gets with a reasonable degree of cer- tainty. They never quite know just what they will get when they con vert their American dollars into the coin of the realm.
 Employees in foreign service of Am erican export corporal tions have been the hardest hit, the council says. Each month, when they come to cash the otherwise welcome pay check home offices send out in some form of dollars, they find it a gamble as to whether it will win or lose. The chance of profit is discounted by the corresponding risk of loss. American export houses are accordingly taking up the problem in hope of evolving some method of paying foreign sal aries which will eliminate the pres ent hazard.
 The situation was first brought of ficially to the councils attention by an American corporation having a large branch in Singapore, Straits Settlement The concern paid its employees there in drafts against the American dollar, issued in the form of a revolving letter of credit.
 Recent strength in sterling ex- change, however, was reflected by sympathetic strength in the Straits dollar, with the result that the mum. Der of Straits dollars realized by en- ployes in selling their drafts in Am erican dollars dropped preceptibly.
 The council started investigation to see whether others had found any way to circumvent this difficulty. Un- der the method used for U. s. gov ernment employees, the treasury de, partment fixes a definite exchange rate for three months period. The government worker is paid under this rate, with the option of accepting payment either in gold of silver. If in Singapore, for example, the exchange rate for American dollars was down, he took gold; protecting himself against loss. If dollars were up he took silver and netted a profit.
 A rate so fixed, however the coun cil found, comes only within 90 days of accuracy. Furthermore it caused the government itself to take the loss much more than would probably be desired in commercial enterprise
 The council then canvassed leading manufacturing exporters in steel, oil construction and electrical goods There was no uniformity in t1eir ac- tions.
