Railroad companies on the East
ern Shore have been doing very well
in the matter of burning off strips
along their rights-of-way through
wooded areas. The B. C. and A. r.
R. has adopted the advice of the
State Department of Forestry in
regard to the manner of burning
over such strips. A path three to
five feet wide is grubbed out to the
mineral soil at the outside of the fire
strip some time during the late fall.
Then the infiammable cover between
the outer rail and the strip of clean
soil can be burned very readily with
out jumping into the woodland.
The principle works out very salts
factorily in burning along ditch
banks bordering ON woodland.
Wardens should instruct their neigh
bors to clear mineral soil path be
tween the ditch and the woods be
fore burning. II everyone would
follow out that plan We would be
able to reduce the total number OF
fires by one-fifth. Better to spend a
few hours clearing out a path than
to have to pay couple OF hundred

SALARIES

An increase of SIT in the average
GALAXY of high school teachers in the
State last year is shown by COM
parison with figures for 1926, AL
bert s. Cook, State Superintendent
of Schools, reports. He explained
that the increase was due to larger
number of experienced teachers,
hose salaries were raised accord
ingly.
The average salary in counties
ranged from $1,338 in Wicomico
which has the lowest in the State, to
S1,S42 in Baltimore county. Half
of the counties paid their high school
teachers from $1,400 to $500
while eight paid more than $500
and four counties less than $l,40O
The eight counties which pay the
highest average salaries are Allie
gsny, Frederick, Queen Anne's
Montgomery, Washington, Garrett
Baltimore and CHARLES. The largest
increase in salafies-$72 and $6S-,
were in st. Mary's and Calvert, re-
sDectively. The salaries of princi-
pals in these counties were increased
since high schools, which had been
ranked in the second group, became
first-group schools. Mr.. Cook ex-
planned.
There were decreases of $1O4, SIS
and $40, respectively, in the salaries
of the teachers in Charles, Kent and
Talbot counties.
An 18-cent decrease in expendi-
lures for books and instruction ma
terials in 1927. compared with 1926.

iture for books and instruction ma
terials last year was $6.6S for every
high-school pupil. The maximum
outlay was in Allegany. which spent

expended only $2.32.

CONGRESSMAN GOLDsBOROUGH
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

CONGRESSMAN T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough, of the Eastern Shore Mary
land District, filed Monday with the
supervisors of elections of the nine
counties comprising this district, his
certificate candidacy.
In announcing his candidacy to
the Midland Journal, Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough said that he had very much en-
joyed his Congressional service and
desired to continue it il this met
with the approval of his constitu-
ents.
Mr.. Goldsborough has been a
member of one of the most import
ant House committees-the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency-eWer
since he has been in Congress, the
work of this committee being so
heavy and important as to necessl-
tate it's being made what is known
in the Congress as an exclusive
committee that is, it's members
are ineligible for service on any
other House committee.
T.,
particularly the administration OF
the national currency system in a
way to increase its emcency IN STA
bilizing business conditions ana
many of his views have been adopted
as the permanent policy OF the Fed
eral Reserve System.
It is further interesting to note
that the first measure OF general leg
islation introduced by Mr.. Colds
borough was a bill involving the
conception that legislation should be
directed toward making the pruchas
ing power of a dollar the real stand
ard rather than an arDlrrary and I'M
aIterable gold content.
Congressman Goldsborough also
has done a great deal of work in an
endeayor to achieve constructive re-
lief, (as he considers agriculture the
basic industry OF the country.
Mr.. Goldsborough has been active
in matters. especially helpful TO the
people of the Eastern Shore OF Mary
land. In addition to farm relief, he
has worked very hard for the sea
food industry, the dredging OF rivers
and harbors, compensation and de-
served pensions for veterans OF the
World War, and other wars, and in
come tax reduction for persons OF
moderate means.
Recently he secured permanent
twice yearly sittings OF the Fedora
Court on the Eastern Shore, where
the Federal Court had not been helo
Tor one hundred and twenty-seVer
years.
Mr.. Goldsborough is now serving
his fourth term in Congress, having
been elected each time with an in
creasing majority, as follows: 67tf
Congress, 2.S79 majority; 6Sth Con
gress, 5,593 majority; 69th Con
gress, 6,903 majority; 10th Con
gress, 1891 majority.

CECIL COUNTY WELFARE ASSO.
CITATION

This is to call the attention of the
citizens of this county to the recent
formation of the Cecil County Wei
fare Association, whose purpose is to
aid in the care of dependent, neglect
ed and delinquent children, and of
those who are crippled.
1t is the aim of this Association to
work in closest cooperation with the
Maryland Children's Aid Society and
the state association for the care of
crippled children, thus securing the
benefit of their experience and re-
sources. These two organizations
have for some time been carrying on
valuable work in our county. The
Childrens Aid during the past year
has Investigated many needy cases,
,aring for twenty-six of our children
in foster homes or as each case re-
quired. In this work they have had
some financial aid from our County
| Commissioners and from private
sources, but not nearly as much as
| he county, publicly and privately,
should give. Their available re-
sources have been seriously overtax-
| ed and the work has been handicap
ped through lack of county organi-
cation and countrywide interest.
The Cecil County Welfare purpos-
Sc to keep informed, through local
committees and district representa-
ives, as to the needs of our children,
and through it's organization follow
up as occasion requires, with the as
sistance when necessary, OF our Coun-
ty Nurse, or social case worker.
in order to do this we need the ac-
tive cooperation of your group and
others throughout the county, and
feel that this can best be secured on
membership basis. Hence we ask
you as an active organization In your
district to consider backing the
movement financially as well as
Through representation. We are
suggesting three classes OF member.
ship for organizations and individ-
uals, as follows:
Active membership $500, Contrib
uting Membership $500 to $500,
Sustaining Membership $4,000 or
more.
Having secured such membership,
the next move will be local commit
tees made up of representatives who
shall choose a district leader to rep
resent them officially at the quarter
ly meetings of the Association. All
member organizations shall be affil-
lated directly with the County Asso-
citation by payment of these dues,
and will be represented at the quart
erly meetings of the Association by
their district leader. These quarter
| ly meetings will be open to the pub
lie and should attract large group
of interested persons.
To help finance this important
undertaking we are promised the
support of the County Commission
ers to such an extent as provided by
| law and proved to be necessary
The cooperation of doctors and
teachers throughout the County will
be great boon to our undertaking.
May we count on prompt action in
your group so as to have an active
membership ready to take part in
the first quarterly meeting of the
Association early in April?

Early maturity, large yield, better
quality. These are the factors that mean
real profits to early-potato growers.
Last season MIR. M. S. Scott of Cape
Charles, Northampton County, Va,
planted 40 acres in early potatoes. He
used "AA QUALITY Fertilizer and
sound farming methods. The result was
an average yield Of 142 barrels of high
quality potatoes per acre. His crop ma
tured early and brought $500 per bar
rel. That meant return of $4,000

pared soil, good cultivation and excel
