SHOOTING STARS.

Reckless PrOfusi0n.

Reckless PrOfusiOn.
The honeysuckle has dainty bloom
So delicate and fine
That every other plant for 1t makes
room,
Both herb and vine.
It has a perfume that is strangely
sweet;
It is an incense rare
Fit for the Star Gods it will nightly
greet
Away Up There.
The honeysuckle's loneliness has
proved
Too generous, indeed.
We pass it by and say, with hearts
unmoved,
"'Tis but weed!'

Golf, tennis, base ball, pugilism and
the other forms of sport hold their
own in public interest in spite OF the
airplane heroes. Yet the aviator must
stand first as an exponent Of skill or
courage, inasmuch as he puts life and
death into the hazard.

RAILROAD CONTESTS DECISION
OF PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSION

A bill of complaint has been filed
by William Pepper Constable and
VIM. L. Marbury, Jr., attorneys for
the P. B. & w. r. r. Company, in
Circuit Court No. 2, in Baltimore,
against the proviso attached to the
approval of the Public Service Com
mission for the relocation of the Co.
lumbia and Port Deposit Branch, fix
ing the grade at 3.S per cent instead
of the 3.5 per cent grade asked for.
1t was contended by the railroad
company that the evidence offered
by the residents of Port Deposit had
no bearing on the inquiry which the
commission was directed by law to
make, because such evidence did not
relate to the necessity or convent
ence of the proposed relocation for
the public service.
1t also was contended by the rail-
road company that the relocation of
it's tracks was necessary ii it's service
was to continue and that the COM
mission was not the defender Of pri-
vate rights.
Judge Robert F. Stanton signed an
order that an answer to the bill be
filed within twenty days. 1t also
was ordered that the case be heard
after fifteen days notice.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

The following changes have been
made in the High School course of
study: Latin has been made an
elective subject, and will be offered
in the third and fourth years of the
high school course, instead of the
first and second years. When a
pupil reaches his third year in high
school, he will be better able to de-
eide whether or not he needs Latin
in his later life. A pupil entering
high school is not sufficiently mature
to have an absolute idea of his fu-
ture life work. Under our present
plan the pupil need not undertake
both Latin and French, as he did
heretofore, but may choose the one
best fitted to his future needs. BIZ
ology has been added to our course
of study.
A fine lot of laboratory equipment
for the study of the sciences has ar
rived and is being installed. The
Domestic Science, Manual Training
and Music Departments are already
doing good work.
We feel that the changes and ad-
ditions made to our course OF study
will, to much greater extent than
before, train the youth of Rising Sun
and surrounding country for the goal
of better active citizenship.
Our fifth annual school supper will
be held ON Friday evening. Sept. 80,
in the Church basement. between the
hours of $3.50 and 9 o'clock. The
proceeds of this supper will go to-
wards school Improvement.
The use Of first class mineo-
graph outfit has been given US by
Mr.. VIM. M. Pogue. Many thanks.

are preparing for their opening game

RISING SUN WINS FIRST GAME
OF SERIES

On Saturday last Rising Sun won
the first game of the Susquehanna
League post series, defeating Elk
Mills to 3.
Miller started on the mound for
the Sun but was not effective, and
after Elk Mills landed on his curves
for four hits and three runs, in the
second inning, Doc Ragan was
called to the rescue, and proved very
capable of the job, as he held the
Weavers scoreless, with four hits
the remainder of the game.
The Sun boys were slow. to get in
the run column, and not until the
sixth inning could they fathom Nc
Nuts delivery. With two out and
two on base in this frame Eddie
Boyle doubled to right field, scoring
two runs. Again in the seventh in
ming the Sun opened up their guns,
when three walks, sacrifice and
four hits sent five runs across the
plate. In the ninth Robinson drove
in two more for total of nine.
McNutt weakened after the fifth
inning, while Ragan was going
strong and improving as the game
progressed.
Bland and Allen played nice
game for Elk Mills, while the all
around playing of Robinson for
Rising Sun was the outstanding
feature.
In four trips. to the plate he secur-
ed three safe drives and base on
balls. His batting was responsible
for five of Rising Suns runs, while
he handled 16 chances at first base
in major league style.
The second game of the series will
be played at Rising Sun Saturday,
Sept. oath, and the third at Oxford,
Pa, Wednesday, Sept. 28th.

SPECIAL FORESTER FOR EAST
ERN SHORE

Announcement has been made by
State Forester F. w. Besley that he
had appointed three district deputies
to carry on intensive forestry work
in the respective sections to which
they are assigned.
Alfred Doppel, of Brooklyn, N. y,
was chosen for the Eastern Shore
district, with headquarters in Sails
bury His work will be supervision
of the nine counties east of the Ches-
apeake Bay. Mr.. Doppel was gradu-
ated from Cornell University in 1924
and received his degree from that in
stitution in 1925. He then studied
forestry in Europe under DR.. Sche-
nck, head of the Baltimore Forestry
School, and later was an instructor
in forestry at Connecticut Agricul-
tural College.
Cyril Cline will be deputy for
Western Maryland and Walter j.
Quick, Jr., will have charge of the
Southern Maryland district.
In speaking of the appointment Of
these men, Mr.. Besley dwelt on the
growth of his department of the Uni
versity of Maryland. He said the
forestry service was organized 20
years ago, with only himself and one
half time clerk. The counties paid
the bills for fire fighting. Then the
State ASSUMED half the cost and fur
nished the wardens. The last step
in the organization of the depart
ment, Mr.. Besley said, was the crea-
tion of the three district foresters,
who will do the field work.

MUST PAY TAX ON AUTOS

The automobile tax law for the
counties, which was passed by the
last legislature, will soon come into
active operation in this county. Ac-
cording to the new law no one will
be given 1928 automobile license
until the tax on their automobile for
1927 has been paid.
The new law made it necessary
for the Treasurer to open a special
set of books in which all automobile
taxes must be entered and listed
separately from other personal prop
erty.
The enactment makes it practical
ly impossible for car owner to get
a 1928 tag without paying auto taxes
for 1927.
