The POOIesviIle F. F. A.
Holds Annual Fair With
Attractive Exhibition

The Poolesville Chapter of Future
Farmers of America sponsored its
second annual community fair, Tues
day and Wednesday, November %
and %, at the High School.
The number of products on ex-
hibit showed that there was much
interest in the fair.
The poultry exhibit was the larg-
est, as it included 1913 birds. There
were sc samples of corn, including
5 varieties, entries of small grain
and vegetable entries. The Home
Economics department had 121 en-
tries of canned goods.
During the two days of the fair,
the F. F. A. members sold chances
on a turkey which was won by Mr..
G. R. Gray.
The farmers corn judging contest
was held Tuesday, November %.
Keen interest was shown in this con-
test by the number of farmers who
took part in the event. The winners
were: First place, tied between Mr..
Thomas C. Darby and Mr.. Marshall
Hersberger, Jr. The award for the
winner of the contest was one-half
bushel of Reds Yellow Dent seed
corn, grown and donated by Edgar
Grub, a member of the local F. F.
A. organization.
There was another corn judging
contest open to Future Farmers
members. Mr.. C. Merrick Wilson,
vocational agricultural teacher, in
vited teams from the nearby F. F. A.
chapters. The winners in this con-
test were as follows: Tied for first
place honor We're Lloyd Grubb of
Poolesville and Glenn Lewis of Thur
mont. John Showers and George Bod
mer tied for third place. The prizes
awarded to these high individuals
were $1.75 to Grubb and Lewis, and
SIS to Showers and Bodmer. The win
ming team VISA Thurmont, with Pooles-
vile winning close second, Emmits-
burg third and Frederick fourth.
The members of the Poolesville
Community believe the fair is a great
benefit to agriculture in this end of
Montgomery County and the members
intend to have the third annual Fair
in November, 1888.

Montgomery Commissioners
Favor State Taking Over
All County Highways
Continued from page u

Continued from page II
that the resolutions adopted Friday
are directed toward the shifting of a
burden from the individual county to
the State. This move would ultimately
mean, Lee explained, that the tax
burden would rest upon Baltimore
City and the larger and more prosper
Gus counties, Montgomery County
being among the latter.
Neither of these major proposals
made here today which seek to reduce
the amount now levied in each county
for school operation and road main
tenance or debt service ON county bond
issues are economy moves to the ex-
tent that they seek to reduce public
expenditures but merely seek to trans
fer the burden of reducing the money
to be spent for county schools and
roads" Major Lee said.
It was also pointed out that State
appropriations may require $4,000, goo
additional if Fridays proposals are
carried out. Mr.. Lee estimates that
under his plan of the State absorbing
all county highways, the sum of ST.
100000, perhaps more, could be taken
from the State gasoline tax mainten-
ance fund and spent on county roads
without unduly impairing construction
or widening of the State road system.
Another Montgomery Countian who
has advocated the State taking over
the county highways is M. D. Knight,
of Rockville, former county roads
engineer and student of road engi-
neering and construction. Mr.. Knight,
in an article in the Sentinel of No
vember II, called attention to the plan
of Virginia and North Carolina in
dealing with roads. "The Virginia plan
is working nicely in Sc out of the 100
counties which have adopted it. Fred
erick County, Virginia, reports saw
ing of S26,146 in taxes under the
Byrd plan"

SHERIFF WOUNDED,
CAPTIVE IS KILLED
Men Under Arrest Cause Auto
Crash After Gun Battle in
Kentucky.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ELKTON, KY, May 9.-Sherif Rob-
ert T. Kirkman was seriously wounded
early yesterday when he attempted to
arrest two men on warrants charging
assault and battery. While other offi-
GERS were taking the two to jail their
automobile crashed into tree and one
Of the men under arrest was killed and
the other escaped.
Three officers also were injured in
the automobile crash, which killed
Emsley Stokes, 60. They were Deputy
Sheriff Omar Crouch, Special Deputy
Martin Hollingsworth and Jailer j. r.
Mansfield. The man who escaped was
Stokes son, Baker Stokes, %. He is
sought on a charge of shooting the
sheriff.
John Tom Hollingsworth, brother of
the injured special officer, had sworn
out warrants charging the Stokes men
with assaulting and beating him. The
sheriff and other officers went to the
Stokes home, 3 miles, from here, and
Sheriff Kirkman kicked the door in.
He was shot in the chest and abdo-
men, the other officers said, by Baker
Stokes, who was arrested by Special
Deputy Hollingsworth. His father was
found at the back door and arrested.
The sheriff was rushed to Hopkins
vile hospital, while the other three Off
GERS started with the Stokes men to
JAIL, .,s ~
AS Jailer Mansfield turned the car
into the court house yard, the other
officers said, young Stokes struck him,
he lost control of the car and it ran
into tree. The elder Stokes, his throat
cut, died later. In the confusion the
younger Stokes escaped. The officers
said the Stokeses had recently served
terms for liquor violations.
