All CLUB BOYS
LOSE TO OKLAHOMA

Maryland's All Club teams, repre-
senting the State at the annual Ma
tional Dairy Exposition, st. Louis,
Mo-, this fall, did not fare so well
this year as last, when the judging
team was awarded first place and
the right to represent this country
abroad. This year the palm went to
the Oklahoma team.
There is a keen rivalry between
Maryland and Oklshoma, the latter
state having carried off honors for
first place three times, while Mary
land has won on four occasions,
Oklahoma teams, however, have
only brought the cup home from
England in one contest, while Mary
land has won it three times out of
four, the last time being for 1881.
High man on the Maryland team
was Stanley Chilcoat, who was fifth
in judging Holsteins and ninth in
Guernseys. The other members of
the team were Austin Stewart, and
David Joesting, alternate, of Hartford
County, and John Morris, of Balti-
more County. H. M. Carroll, County
Agent for Hartford County, was one
of the coaches.

UNIVERSAL BIBLE. SUNDAY

Governor Albert C. Richie urges
the observance of Universal Bible
Sunday on next Sunday, December
6, by the churches of Maryland.
The American Bible Society, an
INSTRUMENTATION agency engaged
in the circulating of the Scriptures,
and which last year put into dis
tribution over twelve million volumes
of Scriptures in two hundred and
eighty-five languages, has promoted
Universal Bible Sunday for over a
decade. Each year an increasing
number of churches in America and
in foreign lands unite in the obser-
vance of Universal Bible Sunday in
order to remind church-goers of the
important place the Bible holds in
the development of Christian life
and character.
In commencing Universal Bible
Sunday Governor Richie says: Il
consider it a privilege to express
my hearty approval of Universal
Bible Sunday. In the development
of civilization the Scriptures have
played the most vital part. They
teach mankind to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy God. There can be no
finer standard of life than that"

BURGLARS LOOT SAFE

Burglars entered the hardware store
of Samuel H. King and Son in Elkton,
early Monday morning, broke open the
safe and stole about 5000 in cash. be-
sides lot of checks. A $35 shotgun
and several other articles are also miss
ing. Enterance was effected through
a side window in the building.
The burglars were evidently at work
for some time. They used a heavy
steel punch and chisel, with which
they broke off the combination and
lock and then forced open the door.
Several weeks ago, this same store
was broken into and an unsuccessful
effort was made at that time to break
open the safe.

MARYLAND WHITE PLAGUE
DEATH RATE DROPS

A phenomenal decline in the tuber-
culosis death rate in this State has
been revealed in the annual report
of the Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
The rate fell below 100 for each
1000 population for the first time
last year and fewer victims were
claimed than ever before.
In the report, William B. Mat
thews, managing director of the as
ISOLATION, said in 1905, 1881 persons
in every 100000, died from tuber-
culosis in this state, while the rate in
1880 was 98.9. Despite this pro-
|gress, however, control of the
disease remains a big problem, he
said.
In 1912 tuberculosis caused a
greater number of deaths than any
other disease. Now it ranks sixth in
causes of death from disease. Mr..
Matthews attributed the better record
in a large measure to the impetus
given anti-tuberculosis work by the
annual sale of Christmas seals.
The report discussed the work of
the Miracle House, the preventorium
maintained by the association at
Claiborne, ON the Eastern Shore,
originally as summer home for
undernourished children. 1t is now
approaching the status of a year.

MARYLAND FOREST FIRE
SEASON CLOSES

Rain, sleet and snow flurries on
Friday ended the fall forest fire
season for Maryland and lookout
towers were closed throughout the
State at the direction of State
Forester F. w. Besley. The 10
lookout watchmen terminated two
months vigilance for forest fires and
closed the towers for the winter
season. Thirteen special fire guards
also suspended activity. Mr.. Besley
said that under normal conditions
fire danger will not again seriously
threaten Maryland forests until
about the middle Of March, at which
time the emergency forces will
again be placed on duty.
According to Mr.. Besley, the 1881
fall forest fire season has not been
very severe, due in large measure
to normal rian fall during the sum-
mer and hervy fogs with generally
humid conditions during the fire
season. Hunters and campers prov.
ed the most frequent cause of fires,
Edue to the hunting season occurring
simultaneously with fall fire danger.
Mr.. Besley stated that several out
breaks of incendiarism occurred in
different sections of the State, re-
sulting in very threatening conflagra'
tons. Fires were maliciously sci
repeatedly near Abingdon, Hartford
County; Guilford, Howard County,
and near Vindex, Garrett County
1t is anticipated that special investl
cations may yet apprehend the
persons who maliciously started
these fires. Energetic prosecution
of offenders will be made by thu
State Department of Forestry.
The State Forester observed tina
forest wardens have been particularly
responsive this fall, and have hele
nearly all fires to small size. Few
fires burned over so acres and 80 PEI
cent of the fires were less than II
acres in size. The largest fire for
the fall period occurred near Goblin
Worcester County, through careless
ness in burning a bees nest an6
damaged $50 acres. Although stats
teal records are not yet complete,
Mr.. Besley feels that not over LOU
acres were damaged through fall
fires. This is an unusually low figure
as the average fall acreage burned
for the five years previous to 1880
was over $500 acres, according to
records of the Strife Department Of
Forestry. Favorable weather condl'
lions and prompt action of the forest
wardens have made the commendable
record possible.
