Pensions for Life.SaVefS.

President Roosevelt has sent rec
ommendation to Congress which, if car
ried out. will provide pensions for the
U. s. Life Saving Service. The MES
sENGER has advocated this action by
Congress for number of years, and we
are glad to see so powerful a force as
the President of the United States come
to the aid of the men who deserve more
and get less than any other men in the
employment of the Government. We
feel confident that our friends, Captain
John A. j. Hudson and Captain Powell
will not object to drawing pension
when it comes time for them to lay aside
the uniform of the service; and we have
no doubt that the members of their
faithful crews will also welcome pen
sion when they are no longer able to pa
troll the wave-washed beach or pull an
oar for a storm tossed ship.

PROCEEDINGS
What The Solons at Annapolis
Are Doing In The Interest
OF The People.

Senator German introduced in the
Senate Tuesday bill providing for the
placing at the disposal of the Governor
a fund of S., 900 annually to be used in
maintaining the Government House, and
for the incidental expenses thereto.
This bill is presented in recognition of
the fact that the Governors salary is
utterly inadequate to meet the demands
upon him, and that unless some such
step as this is taken none but rich men
can afford to be Governor of the State.
There is little doubt that the bill will
pass, as the sentiment in favor of it is
pronounced among both Senators and
members of the House of Delegates.
Senator Price, Of Wicomico County,
Tuesday afternoon introduced in the
Senate a bill to repeal the Judges Pen
sion law A similar bill was introduced
in the session Of 1906 and was defeated
after a vigorous and long drawn out
fight. There is now in the House a bill
to increase the salaries OF the Judges,
and over these two measures there will
unquestionably be a struggle

Farmers Institute Held.

A Farmers Institute was held in the
Court House Thursday morning and
afternoon. Because of insufficient adj
vertising, the attendance was not very
large, but the 40 or so farmers in at
tendance were good. practical men. and
were attentive listeners to the two
lecturers who were sent here by Direc-
tor Amoss.
The subjects discussed were: "Ferti-
lizers, Growing White Potatoes. a"
Strawberry Culture, " Poultry. etc.
The farmers were told the value of
the different kinds of manure and that
it should not be left exposed to air and
rain, where all the strength would be
washed out of it; instead, il should be
protected from the weather or put on
the land as fast as made.
The talk of growing white potatoes
was especially interesting, and the most
important information was how to get
good large potatoes. The seed potatoes
should be selected for their size and
quality. putting aside for that purpose
large potatoes with large eyes, and
when such are planted you get the best
results. AS potatoes require lots of
moisture. the lecturer said the rows
should not be heapedup to point, but
rather flattened on top that the rainfall
might penetrate to the seed rather than
run off between the rows.
II was claimed that the old fashioned
way of Matching and raising chickens
beats the incubator way to stand-still
and is less trouble. As the people in
this section know more about straw
berry culture than the lecturers do that
part of the program was not so satisfy
ing as the other subjects.
These farmers Institutes are about
the best work the State is doing for the
people. They give the farmers practical
information of the newest and best
methods of farming.
The next meeting will be held in POGO
moke City.
