LEONARDTOWN, Md, Aug. T.
There is a lot of good luck grow
ing here in old ST. Marys in the
form of four-leaf clovers, as the
continued rainfall has made the
grass and the clover grow tall.
So with the clover tall and full
of green leaves many a four-leaf
clover is spotted among the other
three-leaf ones. So if one wants
lots of good luck all they have to
do is look along the side walks, or in
church yard grass plots or in their
own front or back yard, where the
clover is tall and green. And there
they are apt to find the lucky four
leaf clovers, as many here in Leon
ardtown and around ST. Clements
