Baltimore county should not be satisfied with less than 3000 majority for Davis and Bryan, and Tydings for Congress, and Maryland should have for its goal a very substantial majority for the Democratic Presidential candidates and a solid Democratic delegation for the House of Representatives. Today Maryland is represented by three Democrats and three Republicans on all questions of Governmental policy. The State might just as well have no representatives, for their equally divided vote means nothing. Nothing could more clearly show the importance of at least a majority in Congress than the present situation; when experts are expressing the opinion that with the three candidates in the field, neither will have a majority of the electoral college and the House of Representatives may have to elect the President. If this prophesy should turn out to be true, Maryland would have no voice whatsoever in the selection of the President. Since the vote in Congress is by States, each State having a single vote and the vote of our representatives being equally divided would count nothing either way. In the Second Congressional District, composed of Baltimore, Carroll and Harford counties and a portion of the city we are especially fortunate in having as our candidate Hon. Millard F. Tydings. His candidacy should appeal to all Democrats, and indeed all fair-minded people. He is not an unknown quantity in public life, for he has been tried and not found wanting in several important positions and has always justified the confidence his constituents have placed in him. \tr. Tydings is the product of the public school system. From early childhood he associated daily with the boys of the farm, the merchant, the canner, the mechanic and the laborer. He grew up with them and he .knows their point of view, and indeed, when you come to think of it, is it possible to know the needs of all the people in every walk of life who make up the constituency of a member of Congress unless you have associated with them, and have been able to put yourself in their place? "We insist that nothing could qualify a member of Congress to actually anticipate the wants of his people quite so well as years of association with them in the public schools. ( Mr. Tydings is a native of our sister county, Harford. After passing through the public schools he attended the University of Maryland and graduated as a mechanical engineer and was associated with the construction department of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Later he returned to the University and studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1913, and has since been in active practice in the Maryland Courts. Harford county has always recognized talent and ability in its young men, so two years after his admission to the bar he was sent to the House of Delegates. In 1919 he was re-elected and elected speaker of the House, in which position he served with distinction, and to show that he had the interest of his constituents at heart he saved the taxpayers $40,000 in the expenses of the Legislature over the preceeding session. As an evidence of his independence and aggressiveness, he was instrumental in securing legislation in 1916 reducing the tolls on the Susquehanna bridge from $1 to 50 cents, and in 1919 he introduced and had passed a law purchasing and transferring the privately owned Susquehanna bridge to the State—so that the tolls formerly going into the pockets of private persons now goes into the State Treasury, the effect of which will be that by 1927 the bridge will belong to the splendid road system of the State, free of toll and without costing the State or the taxpayers a penny. So well did Mr. Tydings serve his people in the House of Delegates that his people elected him in 1921 to the State Senate, and in 1922 the people of the Second District sent him to Congress. In his two years in Congress Mr. Tydings has served with ability and has been in the closest touch with his people. He has been ever ready to serve them in any matter connected with the Government departments and has justly earned an endorsement. That his home folks in Harford think well of him is demonstrated by the fact that each time he has run for public office he has led the ticket, carrying twice every precinct in his native county except one. Not only has Mr. Tydings a clean-cut record in public office, ut he has a record for war service of which any man could be justly proud. On April 6th, 1917, he enlisted in the World War, being promoted to Sergeant, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, and then to Lieut. Colonel before the Armistice was signed. As Captain, Major and Lieut.-Colonel of machine gun units, he AS THE JEFF'S "SNAPSHOT" MAN SAW THE WHITE HALL FAIR. the parson w/)Stxmemiy /nteresteo wthed/spcwof."e/9ts OF COURSE PHP MD MS B/Q SON FROM-THE C/T/ ENJO/ED EVERyrWG' THE S/DE SHOWS PROVED 4S /NTERESTfNCf fiSEVER- saw active service overseas and was cited for conspicuous service by Generals Pershing, Morton and Upton—one of his cherished possessions being a distinguished service medal. In May, 1919, he was honorably discharged after more than two years' duty as a soldier. Mr. Tydings should especially appeal to the young men of the District, and from indications we believe he will find that they are not only for him, but are working for him now, and will continue to do so till the polls close.

Gunners visiting the marshes around Baltimore county declare rail and reedbirds are more plentiful this year than since 1920. Plenty of good sport and large bags are reported. This is due, according to veteran marsh gunners,, to the fact that the birds were not disturbed during August this year, their migration month. Game wardens were particularly active last month in arresting persons who carried firearms or discharged them or other explosives on the marshes, thus scaring the birds away. At last rain fell, that is, in some sections of the county, for on Sunday last storms visited many communities, the downpour accompanying them being worth many thousands of dollars to the farmers of the county, and came in the nick of time. Some sections of the county had had thunderstorms at infrequent times, but the rainfall was very light and was practically of no value to the farmer at all, so that the entire county had ^ """red to an unusual extent because ot the drought. Farmers were worried because of it. The time for breaking fallow for the fall wheat crop had come and still the ground was so hard and crusty that it could not be done. Many made the attempt only to give up the job. Corn for canning purposes is worse hit and will be but a very poor crop. Tomatoes had begun to suffer, but it is felt they will now revive sufficiently to maintain an average crop. Field corn is more hurt than any other crop. According to the farmers this week it is now apparent that the late planted crop will be the best. Corn planted earlier will fail in a large measure to make at all, as it has silked at the worst possible time. At the present time there is every indication that a larger acreage of wheat will be planted. One of the chief reasons for this is the present high price of wheat, as invariably larger acreages usually follow crops that have brought high prices. The recent increase in the wheat price is due to an indicated curtailment of wheat productions all over the world. Our own crop, the Canadian crop and the output, of other great producing nations will be materially less this year and as price is governed by the law of supply and demand, the prospect of a demand perhaps greater than the available supply sends the price upward. Bad weather over large sections has caused the corn crop to be half a billion bushels short. Such a prospect /inevitably has ^increased the market price of this cereal, especially as there are no foreign sources. Corn is a characteristics-ally American crop and when the American output is small, there is no other plenteous source to which to turn. A corn shortage means less feed for hogs. Hogs themselves are fewer in number this year than usual Therefore prices for both corn and hogs have risen. REV. RICHARD W. WICKES TO PREACH SERIES OF SERMONS, The Rev. Richard W. Wickes, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, of Towson, will preach a series of sermons on "The Judgement of Enemies." We like to hear what our friends say of us and it is instructive to know what enemies think. Thi sseries of sermons will tell what the enemies of Jesus thought of him. The sermons will be preached each Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service as follows: September 28—"Where Is His Home?" Oct. 5—"Where Is His School?" Oct. 12—"What Is His Social Standing?" Oct. 19—"Why Doesn't He Save Himself?" Oct. 2 6—"Where Will He Go " FIRE DAMAGES HAY BARRACKS. A large hay barrack on the farm of Clarence M. Burns, near White Hall, was partially destroyed by fire about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. There was about thirty-five tons of hay store in the building. A barrack on the same site was destroyed by fire two years ago. A fine community hall is being erected by the congregation of St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Texas, and will soon be completed. There will be an auditorium for holding entertainments and rooms for holding suppers, and for amusements. There will be a gymnasium. The building is of limestone, and with furnishings will cost about $45,000. TOWSON ENGINE COMPANY ANSWERS FALSE ALARM. The Towson fire engine was called out at two o'clock on Thursday morning from the box at the entrance to the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, on the York Road, only to find no blaze. A false alarm was sent from the same box on Tuesday morning. WRITER SCORED Towson Clergyman Says Hughes Is Unfit To Write About Scriptures.

The list also includes 45 gun carriages, caissons and limbers that are weather-worn and not suitable for trophies. case the police acted promptly and efficiently. The number of cases in which the question of liquor was involved, says the jury's report, were not particularly surprising, but there was sufficient evidence that too many people are still hesitant im paying full respect to the laws, and that the various cases brought before it indicated that the county is afflicted with certain "sore spots" which will be cleared up.

"Of, course, we do not believe a young sheep had a wife, but the lamb always stood as a symbol of innocence, purity and as a sacriw ficial animal. This is purely poetic. "In his article Hughes says, 'I quit going to church because I became to believe that what is preached is mainly untrue, unimportant or tiresome or hostile to genuine progress and in general not worth while.' He is wrong. I maintain that no matter what field of thought you look at, you will find representatives of the church are contributing to the sciences. "Hughes says his whole faith in the Bible was destroyed by his college studies. I maintain that no trained or educated Christian today thinks of the Bible as a text book of science."

(Continued from Page 1) rifles that would make suitable trophies, and the other of such articles that might give the Governor considerable perplexity when it comes to their use or distribution. The action by Congress followed a flood of bills that poured into the military affairs committees for several years. These bills sought to have captured cannon placed in front of Court Houses and town halls from the Atlantic to the Pacific. *But rather than enact them all, Congress put through an omnibus cannon bill and included in it some millions articles that no member of Congress ever had asked for and that Uncle Sam himself didn't know what to do with. If Maryland accepts her share, the articles suitable for trophies probably will be distributed among the county-seats. But what will be done with other things will be for the Governor to decide. Among the articles suitable for trophies there are at Maryland's disposal 882 bayonets, plain and with saw-teeth; 115 canteens of three' varieties, 174 cartridge cases, a potato-masher grenade, 182 helmets, 19 lances, assorted; 112 machine guns, an artillery map and a gas j mask, 923 rifles of several types, ¦ 177 enlisted men's sabers and four j officers' swords, 26 grenadenwerfers and nine minnewerfers and 15 guns and howitzers of various sizes. Into the other list Maryland is entitled to the paper apron, the horse's j collar and the "Gott Mit Uns" buckles, besides the following.

We are informed that this busy office handiest housands of calls on a normal day while stormy weather raises this number to 10,000. Four hundred calls an hour on normal days or close to 70 per minute. This, of course, would be based upon an equaal distribution of calls through the day and night—something that is impossible. During the peak hour of business we would hesitate to estimate the number handled per minute or second for that matter. Standing by and listening to the connections made one is impressed with the firm and businesslike tone used in answering and making connections. The chief operator was here, there and everywhere, cooly and efficiently looking after the busy operators, going where trouble demanded or better still anticipating it before it really happened. Another thing that was a marvel to one not initiated—was the coil upon coil of wires—wire here and everywhere—bound together, twisted in all conceivable forms—packed wires, padded wires—big w!ires. little wires—in fact, all kinds of wires. This switchboard is equipped with thousands of miles of wire —enough to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast and back again, and still have enough to make several good sized side trips. Besides this there are 9,000 jacks, 1200 electric lights, 165,543 soldered parts. An Auspicious Inaugural of the Regular Dramatic Season! Mrs. Henry B.
