Here's the biggest news of this goli
season and maybe of 1899 for the
feminine golfers of the Capital.
The national women's links cham

the National Capital. through the

was held in Washington in 1908, back
in the mauve decade. Chevy Chase
was the scene when Chevy Chase was
away out in the country. Miss H. S.
Curtis of Boston won the title. Miss
Curtis was one Of the donors of the
international golf trophy for women
the Curtis Cup.
The offer of the national women S
championship to one of the local clubs
for 1899 came to the Women's District
Golf Association from Mrs. Wright D.
Goss. jr, vice chairman of the Wom-
ems Committee of the United States
Golf Association. Ohicers of the local
women's organization. in the absence
OF Mrs. Ralph w. Payne, president of
the w. D. G. A., contacted several of
the larger country clubs about WASH
ington and with two exceptions were
turned down on the championship for
next year. One club which wanted
the tourney Is regarded as having In
sufncient clubhouse facilities to ac-
commodate tournament OF the mag
nitude OF the national championship.
Mrs. N. j, Waldron. vice president of
the Women's District Golf Association,
sought to hold the tournament at
Chevy Chase. Columbia and Congress
sional, and in all but the latter case
was told the clubs were not interested.
The road still is open, how
ever. for acceptance by Congress
sional Of the tournament Mrs.
Payne will be back in Washing
ton next week and will talk over
the offer with President Theo-
dore s. Grape Of the Congress
sional Club.
Congressional did not actually turn
down the tourney, but preferred to
know more about 1t, and withheld an
answer pending return to the CITY of
Mrs. Payne, who is a Congressional
member.

The offer comes practically on the
eve Of the 1888 national championship,

Four CCC Camps In State To
Close; County Camps Not
Affected By Order

will remain intact.
The camps to be closed are those en-
gagged in conservation work on mill
tary and naval reservations.

number of CCC camps in Maryland to
10. Tha tnumber will operate at least
until September 80, it was stated by

MAPLE SYRUP AND SUGAR
YIELD is BELOW NORMAL
County Produces $4,000 Gallons
Of Syrup; 10000 Pounds Sugar

Maryland maple syrup production
this season was about % per cent
smaller than that of last year, but IS
per cent above the ten-year average,
and the sugar crop was II per cent
shorter than that of 1887 and less
than half of the ten-year average pro-
duction, it was indicated by reports
made by producers to the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service.
The quality of the product was good
but not equal to that of last year, ac-
cording to the report. Syrup produc-
ton this year was estimated at $4,000
gallons, compared with the 1887 crop
of $4,000 gallons and the ten-year av-
erage of $4,000 gallons.
This years sugar crop of 10000
pounds compares with $4,000 pounds a
year ago and the ten-year average of
$4,000 pounds. The same number of
trees were tapped as year ago. The
yield per tree was much less than last
year, but slightly above the average.
Runs of the sap were very irregular.
The average date of the first run of
sap this year was February 9, the last
run March 20. The season opened
about two weeks later and closed two
weeks earlier than last year. The earl
lest run reported this season was Feb
ruary l, the latest April Is.
During the last two years most of
the production has been made into
syrup. Producers estimate an increase
in the proportion Of retail sales this
year. The average price received for
syrup, including both wholesale and
retail sales was estimated at $1.35 per
gallon. The average price in 1887 was
S1.15. The average price received for
sugar was % cents per pound as COM
pared with 20 cents last season.
Garrett county produces practically
all of the maple syrup and maple
sugar that is mad Elm Maryland. Other
maple producing areas are Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin.

Farmers Asked To Plant Bird
Feed Patches On Their Farms

The game division of the State
Conservation Department, through E.
Lee LeCompte, State Game Warden,
is again appealing to agriculturalists
of Maryland to plant bird feed patch
which, if left standing, will produce
cover for wildlife as well as food.
For permanent paintings wax myr-
tie, bayberry, sumac, dogwood, green
brier, partridge berry, teaberry, dew
berry, holly, black gum, sweet gum,
wild plum, wild cherry, wild rose, hon
eysuckle, persimmon and wild grapes
were recommended.
The feed patch is best planted along
wooded areas or fence rows.
Farmers are also being asked when
moving grasses or grain, to use the
flushing bar, which is long pole eX-
tending beyond the end of the cutting
blade with chains or ropes on it, to
flush birds from their nests. 1t is said
that thousands of ground nesting
birds and their eggs can be saved in
this manner if the driver will stop his
machine when a bird fushes, and raise
the mower and leave just a small
patch of grass or grain where the nest
is located.

CCC EnrOllee Gets Canteen Used
By Uncle During World War

More than four million American
soldiers drew canteens during the
World War, and recently Verlin Vow
Ter, CCC enrollee at Swallow Falls
camp, near Oakland, had one distrib-
uted to him which apparently had
been owned by doughboy uncle.
The youth from Uniontown, Pa,
found his uncle's name, Clyde B. Vow
Ter, scratched on the canteen and cup
with which he was equipped.
More complete information concern
ing this rather extraordinary happen
ing, in addition to the story published
in The Republican last Thursday, was
received a day or two ago.
The youths uncle was gassed in
France and died several years ago in
Uniontown from his war injuries. The
enrollee further identified the name
as belonging to the dead uncle because
it bore the inscription GO. K, 32Oth
Inf" of the Blue Ridge Division
the Eightieth. Yowler said his uncle
was in that outfit during the war and
had served alongside the enrollee's
father, who was in Company E of the
319th, in the same division.
The canvas cover of the canteen had
the three mountain ranges insignia of
the division painted in blue.
The equipment had apparently been
taken from the injured soldier and
stored in Third Corps Area bins in the
years after the war. Since the Swal-
low Falls camp is located within the
Third Corps Area the wartime can
teens and other equipment were reis-
sued to CCC enrollees. Yowler came
to the Swallow Falls camp about two
weeks ago.

HITCHHIKER CHANGES
INJURED BACK STORY
County Man Made Way To Bal
timore Hospital for Treatment

Johns Hopkins Hospital physicians
at Baltimore made ready again to eX-
anime man who made his way to the
city painfully from Western Maryland
last week to receive treatment for a
weak back, only to disappear at the
hospital door.

of Wellsburg, West Va, the man
stumbled into a Baltimore City police
station one evening the latter part of
last week saying he had injured his
back in West Virginia mine acct
dent and had walked and hitchhiked
there for treatment.
Police took him to the hospital door
but he disappeared from that point.
Monday night the same man walked
into the Northeastern police station
in Baltimore. Lieutenant Leo j. Kelly
said he told him his name was not
Paugh but Alvin Friend, 30, of
frlendSVllle, anu IndC HIS odCh was hoI
injured but had been weak since his
birth.
Kelly said Friend told him he gave
a fictitious name to mislead his rela-
tives. Police took him to the hospital
again on Tuesday night and physi-
clans, after a preliminary examina-
ton, told him to return Wednesday.

Socialist Years Ago; Now
Democratic Candidate For
Congress In Ohio

A telegram from Frostburg under
May Is date line states that Ira Culp,
remembered by older residents of that
community as a school teacher at
Vale Summit, is a candidate for the
United States Congress from the
Twentieth Congressional District of
Ohio, subject to the Democratic
primary to be held August 9.
The Goth district is in the heart of
the city of Cleveland. The article
stated also that while resident of
Allegany county he was interested in
the Socialist party and was a frequent
contributor to the Frostburg Mining
Journal and on occasions made
speeches at various points on Main
street. After leaving Vale Summit
he taught school in Garrett county,
the article stated.
If this be the same Ira Culp who
was a former resident of Garrett
county, he is of unique distinction. He
was up before the Circuit Court on a
number of occasions and upon at least
two of them he attempted to plead his
own case, refusing the services of a
lawyer. Upon one of these times,
December, 1928, on a charge of as
sault with rifle, against Jesse j.,
Ashby, Jr., sheriff, and ]. Frank
Browning, constable, he was found
guilty and sentenced to six months,
which he had to serve after sentence
of nine months in the county jail i'm
posed by the U. S. district court. His
son, Payne Culp, was also before the
court on the same charge at the time.
In June, 1881, he was before the
court again on an appeal from JUS
tice E. l. West, Oakland, for refusing
to get license for his dog. AS he
made ready again to plead his own
case with a harangue, which might
have lasted for days, the case was
nolle pressed by the States Attorney
at that time, in other words, thrown
out. Witnesses at this event state
that Ira was hopping mad' at not
being allowed to go ahead with his
case, even with the possibility of
guilt as the result.
The court records also show that
an Ira Culp was found not guilty be-
fore the court in 1904 on a charge of
assault and battery.
We have no absolute proof that
both Ira Culps are one and the same.
The one similarity that could be taken
as positive, however, is that years
ago he was a Socialist. Now he is
running on the Democratic ticket.
What he couldn't do years ago he is
doing now. His radical tendencies
put him right in line with the New
Deal Democrats of today.
