When Lord Stratford took up the
votes, he found that all Of them were

Whether that story is true or not.
1t Is q fact that the name of Flor
ence Nightingale stands above that Of
any soldier or officer in the Crimean
War.
Although she was born in Italy Gin
1920, Florence Nightingale was of
English descent and spent most of her
long life in England. While she was
q girl. she felt strong desire to help
persons who were sick: and some
times travelled miles to do so.
Growing to young womanhood, she
told her parents that she wanted to
train to be a nurse. They did not like
the idea; but she kept the plan in
mind, and managed to take training
in Germany. France and Italy.

he. There is no room for strangers.
You don't belong here. I never saw

The business of getting a living"

= PoOKY THE ScREECH OWL,
whose home was in the Old
Orchard. had spent the early
~ part of the night hunting. He
had caught two Mice and,
therefore, was feeling in good spirits.
He sat in his doorway trying to decide
whether to hunt for another Mouse or
be satisfied with what he had. A
movement in the next tree caught his
attention. A bird had just alighted
there. Who could it be? None of
the feathered folk would be about in
the night unless 1t was another men,
Der Of the Owl family. Perhaps 1t was
Mrs. Spooky.
He blinked. 1t wasn't Mrs. Spooky
sitting up there. No. sir: it wasn't
Mrs. Spooky. It wasn't even q
stranger of his own kind. It was too
small for a Screech Owl. Yet 1t
looked like an Owl. 1t certainly did.
He blinked again. Then he few and
perched on a neighboring limb of that
tree and stared at the little stranger
most impolitely.

bluntly.
The small stranger ruffled his

replied tartly.
It was Spooky's turn to ruffle his

my hunting ground and I don't allow
any one else to hunt here" said he
Don't try to bully me-" retorted
the other. This is a free country.
Besides, you haven't seen me hunting
yet"
This was true, and Spooky knew 1t.
For a moment he was somewhat con-
fused. well, don't try it, he replied
lamely.

little stranger angrily.

RESPONDENT MAN
ENDS LIFE

Dependent from i'll health, B. M.
Boyd, respected resident of this
section, ended his life at an early
hour Sunday morning, at his home
about two miles north of Rising

presence of mind enough to pull to
the roadside and stop as he was
stricken. He was brought to his
home and had greatly improved UNI
der the doctors care.
Early Sunday morning he arose
and going out into the yard of his
home committed the rash act while
the members of his family slept.
Mr.. Boyd was a native of Buchan-
an county, Va, son of E. X. and
Rachel Boyd, and was Sc years of
age.
He moved to this section several
years ago, purchasing the Edwin H.
Reynolds farm, north of town, where
he and his large family since resided.
Surviving are his wife and ten
children, all of whom are at home,
excepting one daughter, Mrs. Mary
Murdoch, who lives near. Three
brothers and one sister also survive:
H. c. Boyd, near Rising Sun; r. R.
Boyd, Calvert; E. R. Boyd, of Vir-
ginia, and Mrs. j. H. McFadden, of
near West Nottingham.
Funeral services were held at the
home of the late deceased at two
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, and in
terment made in Hopewell cemetery.

WORK OF Chill
DREN'S AID SOCIETY
Report Made To County Com
missioners-Cases Of IS
Children Investigated

The Children's Aid Society of
Cecil county recently made report
of a years work to the County
commissioners. During the period
April /, 1933-1934, the society was
asked to remove rs children from
their own homes. A careful in
yestigation was made in each IN
s,ance. Of this number it was
found that only were in need OF
foster home care and were accepted
bv the organization. In the cases
Of 16 children no plans were COM
pleted, but in the cases OF the other
30 children, it was possible to make
other adjustments for them. Many
of the children were kept in their
own homes. of the number were
children whose parents are not legal
residents of Cecil county, and the
children were returned to the county
or state where they are rightfully
charges. In making plans for the
children every effort is made 10 keep
them in their own homes. If it had
not been for the work of the society
tie SO children mentioned might
have become charges on the county,
thus a real saving was effected n
nancially. Plans which seemed
best for each individual child were
carried out. The organization does
not remove any child from his home
except for urgent and necessary rea-
sons: it believes in preserving fam
ily life. Cases were reported from
every electional district of the coun-
ty, as we'll as from other counties
or states.

AT UNIVERSITY
OF MARYLAND

A new policy for providing f1nan-
cial aid for students at the Univer-
sity of Maryland next year came
from the Office of H. C. Rryd, vice.
president.
The policy aims at providing aid
through scholarships to larger
number of students by giving less
help to each individual recipient
than in recent years. Each scholar
ship will amount to about $500 a
year.
The aid will pay the expenses of
six definite student charges totaling
$125, certain nonresident fees and
the remainder will go toward pay
ment of board, lodging and other ex-
penses.
About 175 OF these scholarships
will be offered next fall, as against
100 during the past school year. AL
ready 500 applications have been re-
ceived at the college office. Holders
of scholarships from last year will
continue on the previous scale.
About one-fourth of the under
graduate enrolment received aid in
meeting the costs of their college
work last year. Some 357 students
worked at various jobs and positions
about the university, and LA receiv-
ed pay for work on Federal projects.
