Little Girl Struck By
Automobile
Suffers Fracture Of The Skull
And Other Injuries

Little Helen Reed, aged eleven
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. FL
mer Reed, of this town, is patient
in Havre de Grace Hospital, suffering
from a fracture of the skull and
other less serious injuries, sustained
on Friday, about noon, when struck
by an auto driven by G. G. Rufus, Jr.,
of Dover, New Jersey.
The accident occurred at the in
tersection of Main and Queen streets,
and it appears that the little girl
started across the street just as the
traffic light flashed green, the auto
starting forward at the same time.
The child was struck and thrown,
her head striking the concrete curb
ing, at the National Bank. She
jumped up and ran to her home on
Pearl street, followed all the way by
Mr.. Rufus, who was naturally greatly
concerned.
The little girl did not appear to be
badly hurt, but DR.. George Knauff,
who was called, deemed it advisable
to take her to the hospital. Later,
an X-ray revealed fracture Of the
skull. The little patient appears to
be improving, but her complete re-
covery will necessarily require a
considerable length of time.

10 Counties Face FL
nancial Difficulties
Levying Of Additional Taxes
To Meet The Situation
Is Suggested
Is Suggested

Thirteen OF the twenty-three Mary
land counties are facing financial
problems durang the present quarter
because the relief tax bill indefinitely
suspends the distribution of funds
for general public assistance.
]. Milton Patterson, executive sec
rotary of the Board of State Aid and
charities, made this disclosure, as
serting that eight counties already
were lin the red in their relief ac-
counts on April and that five more
have insufficient money to carry them
through the quarter.
The county shortages are in addl-
ton to the acute financial problem
which Baltimore city faces as a re-
suit of the Legislatures failure 20
make ADEQUATE relief funds available.
The acuteness of the problem,
both in the city and in the counties,
is due largely to a provision of the
new relief bill transferring about
S1,0OO,O00 in direct relief funds,
provided by the 1896 emergency tax
program, to the general welfare &C
count of the 1897 program.
Mr.. Patterson said the twenty
three counties need 1921, 1890 for
the quarter from April l to June 80,
according to advance estimates. me
counties have about $4,000 on
hand, and that is concentrated large
ly in the comparatively rich counties
with small relief burdens.
TIL eannual levy date OF some
counties already has passed, and IN
this case there is no recourse except
to borrow.
Cecil county, as of April l, has a
relief balance of $2,343.45, and the
amount needed is S3,95759.

PHEASANTS IN
Sportsmen Urged To Assist With
Contribution Should
BE Left With w. Benson

Phillip Pheasant Is in grave dan
ger as regards his feeding prob
lem, it was stated again this week,
and unless this community's sports
men heed his situation there may
be considerable reduction in the
size of flocks next year.
In spite of the fact that the
State has spread some 20 bushels of
corn for hungry pheasants, the job
Is not completed. Some few have
done work in this community and
about a dozen feeding shelters have
been built and provided with corn,
but latest emergency feeding has
been done in the open. Reports
state that there Is still work to be
done.
According to Willis Dahlem and
Game Warden Vornbrock, the
Hungarian flocks south Of this city
have ceased to fly. Those acquaint-
ed with bird life interpret this as
being a sign they are hungry and
are conserving their energy. The
need is urgent, say authorities, and
anyone making contributions may
leave them with Bill Benson at the
postoffice. It was learned that an
earlier appeal met with no re-
Spouse, and those interested in the
wild life that surrounds this COM
munity are anxious that all sports
men act at once.

EXPLAIN BIRD
LORE TO SCOUTS
Warns of Protection For Balance of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of One
Pest May Bring Another

Harmful birds may be destroyed,
but care must be taken to maintain
the balance Of nature" was the
theme chosen by L. L. Kells in his
informal discussion on bird life to
Troop IS, Boy Scouts, at their
meeting last evening.
He singled out the crow for his
discussion and after weighing mer-
its and dement's of the bird, class
ed him as harmful. Mr.. Kells said
that the crow is smart, swears
fluently, and has a keen eye. One
must be versed in the ways of Mr..
Crow to hunt him. He launched in
to an account of the proper method
to hunt the crow, and Interestingly
demonstrated several calls Of the
bird in different moods.
In regard to balance of nature
Mr. Kells stated that were all birds
to be destroyed, we would survive
about three years before the insect
world would be so numerous as to
drive us out. To illustrate this
point with a more definite example
H. IOlu now a rev years ago SkunkS
were deemed harmful and open sea-
son ordered on them. A fairly COM
plete job was done toward their
eradication. Now the skunk
watches turtles and where they
lay their eggs, and then eats them.
With Mr.. Skunk gone, turtles have
multiplied rapidly, for their natural
enemy is outnumbered. Turtles in
turn are now killing fish and
ducks.
There is some good in everything,
no matter how bad they may be,
was his summing UP phrase. Some
thing else equally harmful may
spring up in its place, If eradicated
or controlled, was the warning is
sued by the speaker.
That his talk was educational
and interestingly presented for a
group of boys was demonstrated
when the Troop unanimously rein
vited Mr.. Kells to continue his dis
cussions at any time.

ATTENDED ALL
AMERICAN SHOW
Turkey Exhibits At Grand Forks,
N. D., Criterion of Growth Of
Northwest Business

George Aldous, representative
of DR.. Salsbury's Poultry Remedies,
returned last week end from Grand
Forks, N. D., where he attended
the fourteenth annual All-Ameri-
can Turkey show.
Mr.. Aldous stated that entries in
the live turkey department totaled
$50 birds, and that 500 dressed tur-
keys were exhibited in the dressed
bird department.
A White Holland turkey, owned
by Henry Domes, Of Rickreall, Ore,

lent of the master breeders gold
medal and the silver loving cup for
the grand champion bird of the
show, an adult tom. The champion
dressed turkey was 34h pound
Bronze heavy young tom raised by
Robert d. Mitchell, of Sunnyside,
Wash. This bird was presented to
President Roosevelt at Washing
ton, D. G.
Although the attendance ait the
show was hampered by cold and
snow at the opening, increased at

Cloquet Club
Asks Assistance
In FOrestatiOn
Adopted Resolution Asking Aid To
Improve Woodlands Under
Soils Conservation Act

Carl d. Gilman, president of the
Cioquet Commercial Club, has writ
ten a letter to the Community Club
in this city asking that the club
adopt a resolution to promote the
planting and growing Of trees in
Northern Minnesota, as well as to
help the farmers of the state to
improve their wood lands under
the provision Of the Soil Conserva-
ton Act.
On November 4th, Of last year,
the Cloquet Club adopted such a
resolution, and feeling that the
communities of Northern Minneso-
ia as well as the state as a whole
will benefit by this plan, they urge
other clubs to do likewise.
Residents of Northern Minnesota
know that the tourist trade, indus
tries, and those interested in trans
portation, manufacturing and sell
ing Of pulp or paper, or wood pro
ducts, will be very much concerned
over a permanent supply Of raw
material A considerable amount of
wood pulp for the making of paper
is now supplied from Canadian for
ests.
Reforestation is one of the great
problems of our state, and on idle
and unused lands encourages a
land use that builds up natural re-
sources without creating SURPRISES
and promotes future income.
The resolution urges proper leg
islation to be enacted, which will
allow state and federal nurseries to
distribute suitable forest nursery
stock, at cost, for forestation OF
private lands for wood production:
purpose, also for windbreaks and
shelterbelts, provided that no for.
est nursery stock shall be sold in
direct competition with private
nurseries, for ornamental planting
and Identification work.

California Has
Near Zero Weather
Orchards of Oranges and Lemons
Protected by Crude Oil
Burning Stoves

California, land of warmth and
perpetual sunshine, has exper-
fenced some near Minnesota wealth
er. A letter to the Editors family
stated that in Los Angeles some of
the automobile radiators were fro
zen, and that citrus crops and other
vegetation suffered severe damage.
California Citrus growers used
unique methods in saving their
crops. They placed stoves in their
orchards to keep the oranges and
lemons from freezing. According to
the letter these stoves resemble the
oid-time stock tank heaters, but
burn crude oil instead of wood or
coal. They emit a sooty, smelly
smoke, which keeps the frost from,
gathering. The smoke forms a COW
ering, or thick veil, and it circulat-
es throughout the country. It is
stated that the smell is bad enough
miles from the source of the
smoke, and it is hardly bearable at
close range.
From a picture in the Los Ange-
les Times the heaters in the orch
ards look like long row of gigan-
tic, glowing candles. The cold spell
has seriously threatened the $780,
100000 orange and lemon crop.

LOCAL MAN GIVES
SERVICE IN FLOOD

II. e. ElltOtt, chief engineer OF
the Mississippi Barge Line Co,
at Cincinnati, Ohio, during the
past several days has been called
over the radio in the matter of
flood rescue work. His COM
pany's boats have been used for
rescue work and have aided
many in making their escape
from disaster. The radio calls
for H. c. Elliott led many local
residents to believe that these
calls were for "a former Sank
Centre boy, Harry Elliott, bro
ther Of Bruce, Robert and Err
nest Elliott, Of this community.
Upon investigation this was
found to be true. According to
statement by Bruce Elliott, his
brother has been with the COM
pany for several years. He re-
ceived his early training in the
public schools of this city, and
acquired his first knowledge Of
engineering, which fitted him
for his present position, under
the direction of ]. P. Heraly,
who conducted manual training
and other subjects in the school
several years ago.

Minnesota 18th State
In Old Age Pensions
Number Granted Here Twice As
Great As In Wisconsin and
Iowa, Report DisclOseS

Minnesota has more persons on
old age pensions in proportion to
population than all other states ex-
cept Colorado, Oklahoma and Tex
as, the Citizens Tax Relief Associa-
ton pointed out in a report received
here today analysing the growing
cost of new governmental burdens
in this state.
Latest records show that Mime
sofa has 292 persons on old age as
sistance for every 1000 persons 65
years old, John F. Scott, president
Of the association, said, and the per-
centage Is growing monthly. That
is more than twice the number on
the pension rolls in Iowa and near
ly three times the number in Mich
igan, the report disclosed.
Wisconsin has only 159 persons
on the pension rolls for every 1000
persons 65 years old. Illinois has
1853, and Indiana only 121.
The money paid out in old age
pensions in Minnesota now Is more
than $1,068,O00 a month, Mr.. Scott
said, or about so percent more than
in Wisconsin and 100 percent more
than in Michigan. Fully 56,696 per-
sons in Minnesota now are receiv-
ing old age pensions, or 34.3 percent
OF those over 65 years of age, and at
the present rate of increase the
number will soon reach 10000,
with an annual cost of $15,0O0,0OO.
Mr.. Scott said the association did
not wish to oppose the granting of
old age pensions or say that an I'M
due number had been granted in
Minnesota, but that it desired
merely to present the facts and ask
tax payers to consider where the
state is going with this and other
new obligations it has undertaken.
New obligations which the state
Of Minnesota has undertaken will
require $14,600,000 in additional
revenue annually" Mr.. Scott said,
elf we continue the present scale
of spending and finance it out of
current income as the state should.
On top of that the state depart
ment are asking for unprecedented
increases in expenditures. To carry
on this way will require huge in
creases in property taxes and all
the other taxes.
Taxpayers must take things in
to their own hands and let their
legislators know that the state
can't go on increasing taxes with
out end. Unless we cut down on
