FOR STATE FO2E STRY BOARD.
Senator Brown Introduces A Bill To
Promote ArborCulture.
Senator Brown of Garrett ha

Senator Brown of Garrett has
prepared a bill providing for a
State forestry board to promote
forest interests and arborculture in
the State. The board is to consist
of seven members, including the
Governor, Comptroller. president
OF Johns Hopkins University, pres
ldent of the Maryland Argricultur-
al College, State Geologist and
two practical lumbermen engaged
in the manufacture of lumber with
IN the State, who shall be appoint
ed by the Governor for a term of
two wears.
The members are to sevre with
out pay, except actual expenses.
Provisions is made that the board
appoint State forester, whose SAL
airy shall be fixed by the board
and not exceed $4,000 a year and
travelling and field expenses. The
board is authorized to purchase
lands suitable for forestry culture
and reserves, using such money
not otherwise appropriated which
may be standing to the credit Of
the forest reserve fund. Upon rec
ommendation to the State forester
the Governor is to appoint such
forest wardens as are necessary,
to serve for two years without sal
airy, but shall receive such compen-
satlOn as the forester shall al
low for services actually rendered.
The bill appropriates $500 an
nually to carry out its provisions.
One of its aims is to check forest
fires. Each Board of County Com
missloners is to appropriate a fund
to be used, if necessary, in extin-
gushing fires, and land owners
shall be liable for the expenses
thus incurred if guilty by negli
gence or otherwise of causing the
fire.

nlzing and acknowledging the in
Unite superiority of the One who
stood before him, crying, Il have
need to be baptized of Thee. !"
Jesus, IN His reply, acknowledges
that He stood under no necessity
.ot repentance, only affirming it to
be becoming for Him to fulfill this
ceremonial duty, and thus identify
Himself the more thoroughly with
those to save whom He had come
to earth. With this explanation,
John no longer declined to baptize
Him.
This glorious scene was a fitting
Inauguration of the Messiah. No
earthly king ever had a more
splendid or appropriate coronation.
No earthly priest ever had such an
installation.
What more could the Lord have
done to His vineyard IsraeD that
He did not do for it? This I'M
compromising prophet, with his
sack-cloth garment and cheap diet,
was the last and greatest in the
long line of those who had called
the Lord S people to account, and
sought to prepare them to receive
the Messiah. 1t was all in vain.
The vineyard persistently brought
forth wild grapes. x * John the
Baptist's revival may not have been
altogether superficial sensation.
He was not responsible for it if it
was. No doubt out of his converts
there were many among the three
thousand whom Peter added to the
Church at Pentccost. x x Pre-
pairing the Lords way into the hu-
man heart is the most glorious
work it which mortal can engage.
1t IS at the same time the most
delicate and difficult. Yet there
is no enterprise in which we can
be more certain of the approval
and assistance of heaven. *
He is a public benefactor who
pushes the people to put into pub
lie statement their secret conclu-
sions. Jesus Himself did not
need to SHOW by a public sign that
he was on the side of righteous
ness. s. * A leader must be be
yond his age to pull it on, like the
beast that lows the canal boat.
The longer the tow the greater the
speed. But the attachment must
be real and practical. detached
leader is no leader at all. x * * A
good modern version of Emerson S
phrase is, Hitch your wagon to
a star, but keep the wheels on the
ground. x 1t is merely cur
ious question whether Johns bap-
tism was an original rite or one
that he adopted. 1t served the
same purpose in either case.

The person and mission of John
the Baptist seemed like the last eff
fort of Providence to awaken the
dull and skeptical nation. His
garments. his food, his very self
was a powerful sermon. He
preached in one of Gods first tenn
pies, with a jutting rock for pull
pit, the whole dome of heaven for
a sounding-board, and the river
for a baptismal laver. He was a
veritable Mt. Sinai. He held the
mirror of the law with an unwav-
ering hand before the guilty con-
science of the people. Each class
of sinners, hypocritical scribes and
Pharisees, eXtortionate tax gath
erers, dissolute soldiers, all received
their merited rebuke; multitudes
submitted to the baptism of repen-
lance.
a great audience, all Judea and
Jerusalem, city and county, attend
ed the ministry Of John. Cour-
ageous sincerity is a magnet that
seldom fails to draw. There was
striking contrast between the APP
pearance of the preacher and some
of his auditors, at least. They
were clad in embroidered robes,
and wore ,silken girdles and tur-
bans. But beneath this fair and
gl1ttering exterior in many instan-
ces, was the moral filth of unre
generate natures. To succeed as
John did, in eXtorting confession
of sin from such as were priding
and pluming themselves upon their
ritualistic correctness, was some
thing startling. This was the first
hole drilled under the eCClesiasti
cal establishment, the complete
honeycombing of which Jesus was
to effect IN his own brief ministry.
The whole fabric, which had been
so long building, and seemed so
secure, and was refuge for those
who sought emolument and power,
would soon totter to its fall.
John the Baptist was careful to
affirm that his mission was purely
preparatory. He could not forgive
SIN nor cleanse sinners. He could
only put them in the way of find
ing One who was mightier than
himself. Well and faithfully did
he perform this arduous task. His
highest ambition was to be a voice
crying in the wilderness, prepare
the way"
When he was at the very zenith
of his power, his congregations
largest, and his influence widest.
unexpectedly one day Jesus stood
before him, requesting baptism at
his hands. John started back in
self-depreciation. at once recog-

FARM LABOR SCARCE

In connection with the report
that the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture for Virginia contemplated i'm
porting a number OF farm labOrers
from England to help out the local
farmers, the Secretary of Agricul-
ture said that although he had
heard nothing specifically of that
report, it was true that there was a
dearth of farm labor all over this
country. THE fact is, said Mr..
Wilson, THAT the farms are starry
ing for labor and it has come to
the point where the farm owner
has to multiply his labor by using
machinery, so that one man now
does more work than several for
merly were able to do. I can speak
more from personal knowledge of
the fa1ms in Iowa than any other
section, and l know that many of
the farmers have got so that they
do not hire any labor at all, or
very little, but do all of the work
themselves with the aid ofmachin-
cry.
ct has come to be a pressing
problem III this country how to
keep the people on the land. The
attractions of the cities and the
higher wages are drawing in the
younger people, and we are being
confronted with the same problem
that they have in England of get
ting enough people on farms to do
the work. 1t is this that has led
to the development of machinery
to such an extent for farm labor.
| do not know whether the limit
has been reached. Of course, no
one can say that it has, but it has
come to the point where a success
full farmer has to be an expert
handler of machinery or else he
cannot get his work done. The
farmers in the west now are con-
fronted with the biggest crops in
their history, and with the same
dearth of labor to handle them.
In speaking of the general ques-
ton of farm values, Mr.. Wilson
said that it might be news to most
people, but some of the best and
cheapest farm lands in the country
were within an hours ride of
Washington.
Il was down there in Maryland
recently, he said, looking oyer
some soil work that was being done
by the department. Right within
twenty miles OF Washington |
found excellent corn land that was
selling for $50 an acre. 1t was
the kind of land that in Iowoa
would have been worth $50 an acre.
There is no reason why this land
should not be utilized. 1t is right
within driving distance of Wash
ington, one of the biggest and best
markets in the United States. Ger
tainly with the market at their
doors and no railway haul to enter
into the problem, farm produce of
all sorts could be put down in
Washington in competition with
the same products from the west.
l know good farm land when see
it, and this was as good corn land
as you would want to find"

"Just how the people here will

Rev. Ryan returned recently from
Los Angeles, where he went to inves-
tigate the movement. He believes in
it's genuineness through and through,
and says the meetings were of unusu-
al power. "To be sure there are al
ways fanatics in religious movements
and this one is no exception" con-
tinued he.
The meetings in Los Angeles had
their inception in a barn-like struc-
ture on Azuza street. and the Penta-
cost, says the Apostolic Faith" the
organ of the new sect, fell there three
nights. The people had nothing to
do but wait on the Lord and praise
him, and they commenced speaking
in tongues as they did on Pentecost,
and the spirit sang songs through
them.
The workers at the local mission
are holding prayer meetings nightly
in preparation for the coming of the
Californians.

EIGHT HUNDRED WIVES
VAIL FOR DYING SHAH

The condition OF the shah has taken a
turn for the worse and his death is ex-
pected at any moment.
The 500 wives OF the dying man are
weeping in the hall of mourning.
Official advices received from Teheran
say the death OF the shah is imminent.
Muzaffer-e Din, Shah of Shahs. as
the day after his father, the famous
Nssr-ed- Din, was -assassinated by relig-
ious fanatic.
Reputed to be the wealthiest monarch In
the world, the shah's reign has been
clouded by a malady which would not
yield TO medical treatment During his
visit to England i'm 1902, the most ambi-
tious journey he undertook during his life.
he was suffering such pain that In spite
OF the eXtravagant plans which had been
made for his entertainment. he was seen
to smile but once during his stay.
Shortly after mis- return to Persia he
was said to be hopelessly mad, He has
lived since that time in semi-seclusion.
The shahs last illness was so serious
that he was repeatedly reported dead.
Muza fer -ed-Din has been reformer
during the ten years of his reign, and
the only concessions which the Persians
have obtained for 1900 years have been
made by him. A reign which began SO
inauspiciously has continued in peace and
quiet
The shahs household makes him
unique figure I'm the 10Th century. He is
said to have $40 wives. They were select
ed as Artaxerxes, who ruled in Persia
before Christ, chose his helpmeets. Every
year 100 OF the most beautiful maidens
in the country were brought before the
shah. lie selected the 25 who we're most
beautiful to him.
Muzaffer-ed Din's wealth was fabulous,
although reports OF the value Of his prop
erty have been exaggerated. His jewels
are said to be worth 500 000. 900. Most Of
them are kept In the palace In glass jars.
The crown itself, surmounted by a great
fiawless ruby as large as hens egg, is
valued at several millions. Two gem
studded swords with their scabbards were
said TO have cost over 81, ,000,000 each
Unless he will sign a constitution which
has been prepared the crown prince may

WALL STREET NEWS
AS TO BONANZA co.

The Wall Street News of Dec. 81
says regarding the Bonanza corpora
ton:
ut is difficult to imagine more at
tractive mining proposition than that
offered by the Bonanza corporation
company organized TO work in the
famous Old Comstock district. Every
one knows what the Comstock pro-
duction has been-a record of $500, ,000,-
600 to date and this from upper levels
The vast riches OF the lower levels
could not be exploited proftably with
the crude mechanism OF a generation
ago Electric inventions now make
exploitation simple and feasible.
THE Bonanza corporation is the
owner of stock mines and IL is the
policy Of the corporation 10 own the
control of certain of those famous
properties.
Successful mining, after ALL is upon
proven properties, only the application
OF advanced mechanical methods-suc-
cess depending upon management.
by way of illustration consider the
Solferino Lode TO which the Bonanza
corporation has full and exclusive
rights within the lines OF the Com
stock Tunnel Grant--4O00 feet on the
lode itself The lode is cut by the
Comstock tunnel at a depth OF 1900
feet. Mining can be carried on there
HANAibhA AHt Slihiuk OF a Snd1t-Nlln-
out the installation OF hoists and ma
chinery--without any other expense
than that OF plant and labor--a most
important consideration.
Further the Bonanza corporation
owns outright the Solferino Consoli-
dated, and Solferino Extension mines
properties which they believe are as
promising as any in the mining market
today.
The corporations prospectus lucidly
and succinctly tells what is proposed to
be done. The program is very prac-
tical, very business -lilke---not of the
dream variety so often found i'm mining
prospectuses.
Last, but not least, the men behind
IL are of high charscter--not a name
in the directorate but stands for SOL
vency and rectitude. Hon. ID. Russell
Brown of Providence Hon. James r.
Moran Of New Haven, Hon. James H.
Hughes OF Dover, Delaware; Franklin
Leonard, Jr., John A l.. Campbell and
George Mitchell of New York-these
are distinguished men whose guarantee
OF good faith must be accepted-they
are directors who will direct The
Jersey, is a man of high integrity and
wide reputation.
THE Bonanza corporation starts
under fine suspices--it has genuine
business to exploit from which great
profits are assured If that business be
rightly handled.
The men behind 1T make right
handling certain"

SOME ODD SCENES

Curious means are taken by anti gam
blers TO deter intending punters from en-
tering the famous casino at Monte Carlo.
A crank who says he has lost all his
money at the tables has been parading
up and down In front OF the gambling
palace with a big white cross painted
on the back Of his overcoat. He Is
watched with amazement by successful
gamblers and awe by others. Hidden
away on the hills above Monte Carlo Is
a little cemetery where only suicides are
buried The suicide OF ruined gamblers
is very frequent, although the authori-
ties do their best TO suppress all news
OF such tragedies The suicides ceme-
terry is one OF tho saddest spots in
Europe as well as powerful lesson
against the passion OF gambling, but IL
Is not advertised among the attractions
