State Regent. Mrs. Arthur L. Bosley, of Baltimore, at a meeting of the D. A. R. in the Armory on Wednes day morning, organized the Governor William Paca Chapter. Messrs. W. W. Preston and Samuel Bradford made in teresting addresses on the history of Harford. After the meeting luncheon was served at the home of Mrs. Alex. Fulford, and in the afternoon a visit was made to Bush Monument erected to the memory of the Harford County Signers of the Declaration of Independ ence. —To the casual observer it would ap pear that the Progressive element in politics should have no difficulty in sup porting Woodrow Wilson for the presi dency. In an address before the K ansaa Society of New York he said in Janu ary 1911: “By ’Radical’ 1 understand one who goes too far; by ’Conservative’ one who does not go far enough; by ’Reactionary’one who won’t go stall. 1 suppose 1 must be a Progressive, which 1 take to be one who insists on recog nizing new facts, adjusting policies to facta and circumstances as they arise.” So completely has his executive career harmonized with this declaration that we cannot conceive how one guided by these principles would fail to support him as their standard-bearer. A fitting sequel to the recent Church ville tent meetings took place at the Churchville Presbyterian Church Thurs day evening, September 14th, when a reception was given by the pastor, trus tees, elders and congregation to the many who joined the church the Sunday before, and all who have come in since | the pastorate of Rev. H. F. Pellegrin. | Rev. Faulconer, who conducted the I evangelistic meetings, came from Bal timore to speak words of encourage- I ment and inspiration and Rev. DeWitt i M. Benham, pastor of Central Presby j terian Church of Baltimore, entertained I the happy gathering with one of his 1 stereoptican lectures based upon one of ! his yearly trips abroad. The pictures , were unusual and the lecture bright with many interesting incidents which befall those who travel not by schedule bill by dictates of the heart. \ a * Mr. Charles Stevens, of Bel Air, K/ io runs the large canning house at P< ole, is among the few fortunate llar fofd canners who will get up a full pack this season. Mr. Stevens reports that his growers are rushing him night and day with a large supply of splendid fruit. Already a big supply of goods is in the warehouse and Mr. Stevens ex pects to get up 20,000 esses before the season ends. Many of his growers anticipate getting over three hundred bushels per sere. Probably the most profitable patch is a ten acre field be longing to Mr. Melville Morris from which he is picking several hundred bushels daily. Rich red clay soil and abundant rainfall combine to make this one of the finest tomato growing sec tions of the county. Many of our can ning houses are running only a small portion of the time because of the shortage of fruit. i n dictmenth For nn. I The following indictments have been found by the grand jury and the pris oners apprehended: John H. Apple, larceny of s horse; Norman Cslder, four indictments for burglarizing the homes of Grant Shane, W. T. Middle ditch, O. W. Preston and William Bur kins, and one indictment for larceny; William Proctor larceny. A number of 1 other indictments which cannot be made public yet have been found. DANEDALL ON NATIKDAY. I Once again Bel Air haa come into her own and on Saturday her citizens wil] have the pleasure of witnessing a base ball game between a local organization and the Maryland Athletic Club team of Baltimore. Several years ago when these clubs played at frequent intervals a keen rivalry existed, and indications are that their old time spirit will be aroused on Saturday. Bel Air’s lineup will probably be: Coale p., Hauver c., Lloyd Ist b , Dooley 2nd b., Worthing ton as., Staley 3rd b., Cain r. f., Mr- Comaa c. f., Harlan I. f. V' BAC K FROM THE FKONT. Messrs. John Jeffery, of Fulford, and Treadwell, formerly of Harford, have secured releases from the militia under the dependent family clause at d reached home Irom the border on Sun day after four days’ travel. While at Eagle Pass Mr. Treadwell was trans ferred from Company D to the supply company for the First Regiment. Mr. Jeffery reports the boys all happy and in about 80 per cent better condition physically than when they started for the front. Many of the stories of hard ships have been grossly exaggerated he declares. HHEPPAKI* HOWARD. Miss Caroline A. Howard, of Forest Hill, daughter of the late Charles How ard and grand daughter of the late Col. Richard Howard, of My Lady’s Manor, and Mr. D. Heisler Sheppard weie quietly married about noon Wednesday. The ceremony was performed at the rectory of Rock Spring Church by the rector, Rev. W. J Wright.

Sheppard left on a wedding jour ney to Washington immediately after the ceremony, and upon their return will reside at Forest Hill. HELP THE HOSPITAL, A bazaar will be held in Firemen’s Hall, Havre de Grace, beginning Mon day, September 18, and closing Tues day, September 19, for the benefit of the Havre de Grace Hospital. Fancy articles, ice cream, cake and candy will be on sale. The ladies will serve coffee and sandwiches.

Mr. John P. Godwin, of Havre de if Grace, haa brought suit in the Court of it Common Pleas, of Baltimore City, for 124,000 damages against the P., B. & t W. Railroad. He alleges that when 0 riding on a midnight train to Havre de y Grace where he wished to stop, he had |. fallen asleep and was carried on to Principio, Cecil county, where the con ductor. he claims, insisted on hia get n ting off although he offered to pay his fare to Wilmington and take a return . train.

I A valuable provision of the great war 1 measure for the construction of the second largest navy in the world looks to permanent world peace. It reads: “Upon the conclusion of the war in 1 Europe or as soon as It may be done, i the President of the United States is authorized to invite all the great govern ments of the world to send representa tives to a conference which shall be i charged with the duty of suggesting sn organization, a court of arbitration or other body, to which disputed questions between nations shall be referred for ! adjudication and peaceful settlement and to consider the question of disarma ment and submit their recommendations 1 to their respective governments for ap r proval.” • Thus this may become a great univer sal peace measure, for one may fairly assume that European nations at the conclusion of the war may have an open ear for a' |>olicy of economy and recup- I eration. i Mi > \ VUk MILK RAIHK REFUSED. 1 Ulaltimore dairymen on Friday form -1 aly refused to grant the raise in price 1 of milk asked for by the Maryland and 1 Pennsylvania Milk Producers’ Associs -1 tion. The refusal was based on the 1 ground that only the eight larger dairy men would be bound by such an agree ment and the dozens of smaller dis- ( tributors would be able to go into the market and buy cheaper, thus making | it possible for them to undersell their , competitors. Undaunted by their temporary defeat officers of the association are actively ( engaged in perfecting and enlarging the ' organization so it may be able to do more effective work later. Every milk ( shipper should join the organization be- ( fore its next meeting. The officers feel , confident their demand will be granted , in the comparatively near future. ' In the meantime the producers’ asso- , 1 ciation expects to ask the Maryland ( State Board of Agriculture to invest!- ( gate the cost of the production and dis- , 1 tribution of milk and determine if the ( producers’ demand for a raise is not jus tifiable.

Gittings, a retired member of the Baltimore police force, who purchased a fine property at Ben son six years ago, hanged himself in an outbuilding at his home about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Going into the build ing in search of her father, Miss Bessie Gittings found the prostrate figure hud dled on the floor. Dr. E. C. Schrinck, who was nearby, hurried to her assist ance and discovered a short rope, one end of which was attached to the wall, drawn tight around Capt. Gittings’ neck. A silver fruit knife, found in hie pocket, was evidently intended as an other means of ending his life. A physi cian was hastily summoned but Capt. Gittings had been dead some time be fore hia arrival. Apparently the unfortunate man had planned his end with great deliberate- , ness. After seating himself and secur-1 ing the rope he evidently leaned for ward and strangled himself until he ! collapsed and slid to the floor. No In quest tyaa deemed necessary. For sev eral years Capt. Gittings has been in ill health, and while undergoing treat ment at the Phipps Clinic two weeks , ago attempted to end his life by butting bis head against a wall. During his many years of service on the police force Capt. Gittings did most effective work and took a prominent part in several noted raids. He was placed on the retired list in 1011. Be sides hia widow he is survived by four daughters, Mesdames Andrew Hauler back, of Baltimore, and Bernard Bruns, of Bel Air, and Misses Bessie and Char lotte Gittings, of Benson. His funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, services and interment at Friendship M. E. Church, Fallston. Z ( HAI TAUQI A l lOHKII DAILY. I With the final drop of the curtain at title rloae of the Mikadoon Friday night, came in quick succession the tumble of the great tent which for a week had held such joyous crowds, and Chautau qua was gone before people fairly com prehended its rapid exit. As predicted last week, the final audience of over 1100 to hear the Mikado was exceeded only by that of 1140 on Wednesday evening when an allegorical drama was rendered with all the skill of professionals but all the freshness of college youths and maidens from Swartb more. From the first, everything pointed to a popular week; for the first time our quota of tickets was oversold by $l6O, and no demand was marie in any way on the guarantors. As a result when call ed on for a guaranty of next year’s meeting seventy-five voluntarily came forward and pledged themselves. We have no disposition to compare the merits of different parts of the entertainment it depends upon from what angle one takes his observations—, but all seem ed to feel that they got a great deal for a two-do liar outlay, and possibly the parents who saw their hopeful* for the first time appear in public thought the Kindergartners did a little better than any one else. The number taking part were however somewhat cutby the uni versal dread of infantile paralysis. At a final meeting of the guarantors their permanent organization was ef fected by the election of the following officers for theensuingyear: I’resident, Rev. A. B. Hallock; Vice-(’resident, Mr. J. L. McCormick; Secretary, Mr, Walter Young; Treasurer. Mr. Hall Munnikhuysen. These officers, who re ceived high praise from the Chautauqua manager for their efficient services, will later select an executive committee to co-operate with them, COURT COJiVEN EH. Court convened on Monday with Judge Harlan presiding, and the usual court officere present. Upon motion of Mr, F. (I. Close the May term of court was ad journed sine die, and the work of the new term taken up. After Mr. James H. Harlow had been selected foreman of the grand jury the following were drawn to serve with him: J. f. Chen worth Victor B. Cain C. H. Caider C. A. Grafton J. R, Massey Wm. (I. fucker B. \V. Amoss E. B. Garrison K. H. Bull Wm. C. Bond 8. H. Mitchell W. H. Michael J. W. Amos 8. M. Kirkwood G. W. H. Reatin Joshua W. McCall J. J. Wilson Edwin Haviland T. A. Cronin Francis A. Streett T. W. Homey J. N. Rutledge The ( ourt then in a brief address to the grand jury noted the orderly con dition of the county, very little crime having existed so far as the Court has been informed. The Court than said: 'There are three statutes that the law require# me to call to your attcn i tlon. The first is a local law, Article - 13, Section 73 m regard to the fees of b certain officers; the second is a general law, in regard to abortion; the third is n a general law in regard to the use of , deleterious drugs. The State’s Attorney will read you those several statutes, i and if any of you know of any violations of these statutes or are able to learn of - any by inquiry of witnesses, you must - act promptly. They are important statutes and their importance is indi cated by the fact that the Court is re - quired to call each Grand Jury’s atten t tlon to them. Now, our constables are the only ones who can really know f of the violations of the law in regard to ) abortion throughout the county, they • come from the different neighborhoods and ought to be able to give information if the statute is being violated. As I have aaid before, a number of times, 1 ' have never known s constable giving the Grand Jury any information. They i are paid to come before each Grand Jury and testify, but none of them ever seem to know anything, and I would be glad if this Grand Jury would find one constable who does know something." Attention was then called to an al leged serious violation of law which had been reported to the Juvenile Court, and the jury was directed to duly investi gate the matter. Attention was sailed to a change recently made in the license laws, in order that it might be discovered whether or not all traders are comply ing with the new statute. The charge as follows: “There is one other matter to which 1 should call your attention. The last Grand Jury, by its report, left certain matters it had under investigation, to this Grand Jury. The Clerk of the Court, upon application, will furnish you the report of the last Grand Jury, which you can read over and take such action as you may find is necessary. 1 trust you will attend to the County's business just as you do your own; get at it, keep at it and get through with it an quickly as possible. We all have to pay pretty heavy taxes, and we do nut want the taxes to be any larger than we can help.” On Wednesday the case of Hanway & Gibson vs. Ira C. Harlan and Laura 1. Harlan for $67.65 was passed fur set llement. No other cases being ready for trial the petit jury was discharged until Monday, September iHth. FA FUSION FAIR. The people of Fallston being so well pl#HHd with the success of the Farm ers’ fair held last year have decided to holti the fair again this year at the same place, Fallston station, on the 18th, tilth and 20th of October. There will be plenty of amusements for both young and old. A baby show will be held, sack races, steeple chase and potato races. A band of music will be in at tendance.
