will notice are to prevent the exchange
of germs between children. In con-
nection with Item 8, get him to form
the habit of always washing his hands
before eating. As to this item, one of
the greatest services h Parent
Teacher Associations could render to
the children in the schools in which
they are interested, would be to supply
them with towels-paper or washable
with plenty of soap, unless they are
provided from other sources. Our
hands are the worst offenders we have
as carriers of germs. To wash our
hands before eating is one oi' our
strongest means of defense.

children, is often the beginning of one
of the other diseases. So don't re

AUCTION SALE AT FAIR

Realizing that one ofthe great needs
of Southern Maryland Agriculture is
the Introduction of better sires, the
management of the Charles County
Fair has arranged for a Auction
Sale of carload of pure-bred beef
type bulls and heifers.
Oct. Second is the day on which all
livestock entered for display will be
judged and on that afternoon County
Clerk, Warren NJ. Albrittan, that
genial and accomplished auctioneer
will sell al absolute auction fifteen
Shorthorn, ten Hereford n d FIVE
Angus bulls and FIVE Shorthorn three
Hereford and two Angus heifers.
This stock is all pure bread but not
REGISTERED, is all under one year old,
has all been given the tubercular and
abortion test. and is, according to the
information from the man selecting it,
the forty top youngsters from the great
Solan Ranch in Texas.
Hopkins and Company, Commission
Livestock Agents at the Union Stock
Yards. Baltimore are shipping this
car load, more as an advertisement
than as speculation. In fact Mr..
Samuel Hopkins of that firm, through
whose generous interest in better live
stock in Southern Maryland, this ar
rangement was made, has informed
the management that if the animals
bring more than cost and expenses,
the surplus will be donated to the
Charles County Fair.
To further aid those livestock owners
who are DESTROYS of lettering their
herd sires by replacing inferior animals
arrangements have been made where
by such owners may bring their bulls
to the Fair Grounds and ship them to
Baltimore in this car where they viii
be sold and the net proceeds returned
to the shipper direct by Hopkins and
Company.
With Mr., Hopkins and the Fair
management co-ordinating to produce
such an outstanding opportunity for
procuring these top animals it's hoped
that every herd owner in Southern
Maryland will be present that day to
take advantage of it,
1t would seem to be an excellent
chance to get a pure-bred sire at pra-
ctically beef prices. and should this
sale prove successful it will doubtless
be made an annual event at the Fair

BASE BALL

On Sunday the 14th, the Cardinal
A. c., of Indian Head, proved their
superiority over Bryantown when they
gotback to their real form both in hit
tingand fielding.
The cause of the teams poor showing
earlier in season was due to the care
less attitude on the part of the players
in refusing to show more interest, es-
pecially in practise.
Before the game Captain Sprague,
the hustling first baseman of the Cards
called his team together for little
confab which proved to be quite sue
cessful as the score at the end of the
ninth inning, was to in the cards
favor.
Kersey, veteran short-stop of Indian
Head, broke into the Cardinals line
up, doing his share to help WIN by
driving home four runs with timely
hits. also playing a steady game in
the field, while Warder pitched his u.s.
ual faultless game. He struck out II
batters, allowing but one run that came
after Warder had been hit in the
head by one of Langley 5" shoots.
This blow, however did not stop the
Card Pitcher from silencing h
sticks" of the great sluggers.
