CONGRESSMAN nUDD REMOTE
Mated.

The Congressional Convention for
this Congressional District was held
at Hyattsville on Wednesday, and
without cavil or contention Congress
man Mudd was re-nominated for
Congress. His sop, Mr.. Sydney E.
Mndd, Jr., presided over the conven-
ton. and his secretary, Mr.. William
Gilchrist, was secretary of the con-
vention. But one contest arose, and
that was over the selection Of dele
CATION from Howard County the
big ex- Sheriff-Day, of that County,
wanted to get nearer Sydney" as
he stated, and made a small-sized
fuss, and another delegation repre-
senting an anti-Day faction claimed
to have been regularly elected. The
latter were seated.
This is the sixth time the honor of
this kind has been conferred upon
Congressman Mudd, and he, there
fore, should not only feel highly fiat
tered, but complimented.
Congressman Mudd has made a
useful member of Congress, and the
longer he remains at that post the
more experience he will acquire and
the better representative he will
will doubtless make. As the nomi-
nee of the Republican party, he
should and doubtless will receive the
warm and earnest support of the
party, and the independent element
of the voting citizenship of this Con
gressional District should do so like
wise. Our say, of course, will have
but little weight with the "unterrifed
Democracy" but we trust we will be
pardoned for making the suggestion
that as their fights i'll this Congress
sional District for the election of a
Congressman have been such lame
fascos, it might be saving Of time
and relief from worry to drop max
ing nominations and let Mr.. Mudd
take tie cake without contest. Hi,
standing in Congress will give hin
the opportunity to do more for the
people of this section than a Demo
crat could, and he is better ma;eria
for that kind of work than any mar
the Democrats could name.

GREATEST LunBeR CUT.

More lumber was cut q the United
States last year than in any other
year in It's history. The enormous
amount Of 1850, 736 board feet was
produced, and the mill value Of this
was 1921, I51,3ss. In addition, there
we're produced 1855, 100000 shin
giles, valued at $24,155,555, and B.
s12,s07 900 lath, valued at Sll, AGO.
$40. On the whole it is safe to say
that the present annual lumber cut
of the United States apprcximates
10 billion feet, and that the total mill
value of the lumber, lath and shin
giles each year produced is not less
than $700,000,000. These figures
give some idea of how vast is the
lumber in lustry and how great is the
demand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the pass
ing of the white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood which the
forest has ever grown. Since 1899
the cut of white pine has fallen off
more than 40 per cent, while that Of
white oak has fallen off more than
36 per cent Today yellow pine
leads all other woods in amount cut,
while Douglas fir comes second.
Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fir has
increased 1856 per cent. Louisiana
is the foremost yellow pine State
with Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas
following in order. Washington
produces by far the greatest amount
of Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber-pro-
ducing States shows that since 1896
there have been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington
which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads
while Wisconsin, which eight year:
ago led all Others, is now third. Ir
the same period Oregon, Louisiana
Mississippi, Idaho and Californi;
made great strides as lumber produc
ing States, though, on the othel
hand, the amount produced in Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, In
diana and Ohio fell off anywhere
from 80 to "a per cent
The highest-priced native woods
are walnut, hickory and ash, and tht
cheapest are larch and white fir
From the fact, however, that sine,
1899 the average increase III the
price of lumber has been 40 per cent.
it will not be long before CHEAP
woods are few and far between, and
many varieties exhausted.

The Governor has set at rest the
question of the personnel of the State
Public Road Commission. His APP
pointments have been made and are
satisfactory so far as the qualifca-
tons of the members named are con-
cerned. OF eovrse we would have
preferred this County to share
in the honors, but as that was not
done, we say amen. The appointees
are:
Messrs. Ira Remsen, Bullock CLARK,
of the Geological Survey; William
Tucker, Cecil County; Samuel d.
Shoemaker, Baltimore County, and
Frank Hutton, of Montgomery
| County.
The two distinguished citizens VIII,
head the list are a power for good it
themselves in whatever the,
undertake, and with the zeal mani
tested by the Governor himself in
the progressive movement for good
roads as help to them and a moral
force TO the Commission, no good
reason can be advanced against the
practicability of the plan of building
public highways through State aid.
The preliminaries over the Commits
sion ought to lose no time in getting
down to business. Nothing is to be
accomplished in waiting or hardness.
Good roads are wanted for this gen
Grafton as well as the next.

liam Waldorf Aston, native-born

United Service Museum the flag Of
the American frigate Chesapeake,
which was captured by the British
ship Shannon in the war of 1912.
This flag was recently sold at auction,
and as it was stated that it was sold
to an American, it was generally
supposed that it was to be restored
to the United States. Besides the
flag, Mr. Astor presented to the mu-
scum the bugle which sounded the
Balaklaya charge and a number of
Crimean medals. Since Mr.. Aston
