CATONSVILLE RESIDENCE RANSACKED.
The residence of Mrs. John Ro-boch, near Catonsville, was entered by thieves and the place ransacked.
Court and Towson's weather prophet and the wise guys and the public in general, for once, believe it is right.
After nine consecutive days of unseasonable chilly August weather residents are seriously considering whether or not to empty the mothballs from the pockets of their over-; coats and don their "heavies."
All of the coolness was caused by an area of high barometic pressure over the regions of the Great Lakes. The heavy pressure means that air is moving rapidly away from that area towards .areas of lower pressure.
As a consequence, when that high pressure area moves eastward away from the lakes and loses itself out in the Atlantic Ocean, we will have warmer weather. It will take two of three days, at least, for this to happen.
A flock of blackbirds at least a mile long passed southward, one of the sure indications of fall.
PRICE TO SOAR
Coal Consumers, Backward In
Ordering, Court
Famine.
Coal prices in Baltimore county will be increased September 1, according to local dealers who are looking forward each day to the receipt of the new scale of prices from Pennsylvania and Virginia coal operators. Prices are made by the operators and not by local dealers.
Yards in the county at present contain a plentiful supply of coal, a sthere has been no demand for either hard of soft coal, with the exception of No. 3 hard, for the last several weeks.
Because many householders have not ordered their winter's supply, it is feared, should a rush of orders come in now, Baltimore county is apt to witness a shortage not only of coal but of cars with which to bring in the fuel from the mines.
The reduction of 50 cents a ton in price of domestic coal, which went into effect in Baltimore county April 1, has had no appreciable effect on the buying, dealers say.
Accordin to Hugh C. Hill, president of the Baltimore Coal Exchange the yards in Baltimore were stocked to capacity in the hope that consumers would buy early.

DRIVES THROUGH GATES

the figures 18 and in one city, Schenectady the figures were 15. The first question a visitor asks is what does "Socony" mean? If you take the first letters of each word from "Standard Oil Company of New York" you have it, and the figures indicated the price at which gasoline was sold. The price of Standard Oil gas in Maryland at the same time was 25 cents. New York is not the only State having the benefit of this low rate; some of them have an even lower rate. We have no objection to the lower price in other sections, but we do complain of the discrimination against us. Why should we in Maryland be compelled to pay 10 cents more per gallon than New York
The reason seems to be that some of the independent companies are
