More appointments For Cecil

On Monday last Governor Crothers
gave the plum tree" the last shaking
II is likely to get for two years to
come and some OF the fruits thereof
fell into the hands OF Cecil countians.
DIR. I. b. Moore was made a member
OF the State Board OF Dental Examin-
ers and DIR. Charles K. Biles OF the
State Veterinary Medical Board But
the appointment which created the
most interest and comment in this
county was that OF Mr.. John M.
Tucker to the Presidency OF the Good
Roads Commission. The Governor,
according to the Baltimore Sun. has
intended from the start, to have Mr..
Tucker on the Commission, notwitn-
standing the fact that he had made HIM
State Fire Insurance Commissioner
some few months ago Mr.. Tucker
resigned the latter Office on Saturday
last and his place was taken by Mr..
Thomas J. Ewall, staff correspondent
OF the Sun, whose highly imaginative
articles, in last Falls campaign con-
tributed largely to Governor Croth4rs'
election. Again quoting from the Sun,
ancnt Mr.. fuckers appointment, we
learn that he lis now director in the
National Bank OF Elkton, owns two
large farms in Cecil county, and is
man OF unimpeachable integrity"
Nothing like going away from home
to learn the news-especially when you
can go to the Sun" where fact and
fancy are equally alike in dealing with
the present State Administration.

Wild Turkeys Sfrayed Away

Early III January, wild tom turkey,
the property OF Miss Bertha M. Ty-
son, Editor OF our Poultry Depart
ment, strayed from the premises OF
Mrs. Thompson Reed, at Gilpin's
Rocks. He was seen number OF
times in Candles meadow nearby, but
finally disappeared. This turkey wore
leg-band for identification and il is
thought he has joined flock OF do
mestic turkeys somewhere in the
county. He was tall and rangy and
is OF different color from the do
mestic turkeys, the feathers being
tipped with brown fringe instead OF
ligh, colored, and he is rather brown
ish in plumage.
Some six weeks or so later, second
tom strayed from the same place, also
the property OF Miss Tyson. This tom
was also banded and OF similar appear
ancc.
Any reliable information concern
ing these turkeys will be literally paid
for and II returned 10 Miss Tyson in
good condition she will pay S. each for
their return.

the suspension of production on
a large scale has caused more or
less worry and Inconvenience,
everyone is optimistic, as the
the prevailing opinion is copper
must go up again when the pres
ent financial stringency is past. ;"
Mr.. Pickerell spoke in en-.
couraging terms of the prospects
of Arizona mines in general, and
said gold mining was being in
dulged in more extensively than
ever since the slump in copper.
When asked if he thought cop
per wonld ever again go to 26
cents, he replied:
Hardly. That price is little
abnormal, and the copper market
as Il result of the present les
son which has been taught the
larger producers-will not in the
future be SO glutted as it was at
the time of the curtailment. |
think the mean price of copper,
when the production begins
again, will range close to Is or
Is cents.
The fact that electricity is in
it's infancy, and the fact that at
present there is almost world
wide plan afoot to electricize
some of the greatest transporta-
tion and manufacturing concerns
in the world, are indicative of
the future demands for copper
and assure that its output will be
disposed of at fair prices.
''Plans are now being promot-
ed throughout the world, if only
consummated in a small part,
considered with the big amount
of copper that is to be used in
countless electric railway exten-
sions Of America and Europe,
justify the prediction that with
in the next few months, or i'm
mediately after the presidential
election, all the big producing
camps of Arlzoua will be running

State Forest Commissions In
the West.

When Governor Folk of Mis-
souri, announced on the second
day of the White House confer
ence that his first act on return.
ing to his home state would DO
to appoint state forestry com.
mission, the applause that greet
ed the announcement indicated
very plainly the intense interest
that has been aroused in the
question of general conservation.
In a short, though very forcible
talk, Governor Folk admitted
that until recently he had been
but little interested in the idea
of forest conservation; he added,
however, that since coming to
Washington and listening to the
statements made at the confer
ence he had come to very lively
appreciation of the necessity for
conservation and reforestation,
and therefore his first official act
on returning to ST. Louis would
be the appointment of a state
forestry commission.
Governor Folks announce,
ment was followed by similar
announcement from Governor
Toole of Montana, and the ur-
gent recommendation was made
by both of these speakers, as
we'll as by many other members
of the conference, that forest
ry commission he appointed in
every state represented in the
conference, which has not al
ready such a commission.

PROSPERITY OF ARIZONA.

A. J. Pickerell, one of the best
known copper mining men in
Arizona, living in Prescott, is
among the recent arrivals at the
Hollenbeck from the copper
country, says the Los Angeles
Herald.
Speaking of the situation among
copper camps in Arizona last
night, Mr.. Pickerell declared the
curtailment of the copper pro
duction has affected AriZona's
industries less than any other
section of the United States.
Contrary to expectations, "
said Mr.. Pickerell, "instead of
laying off their employees the big
copper companies operating in
Arizona, bave without exception
retained their full forces and
their payrolls have not materi-
ally diminished. On the other
hand, some are paying out as
much, if not more, money than
when copper was being pro-
duced and sold at 26 cents. The
drop to II cents naturally cur
! tailed the production, but all the
big companies are now busy
'rejuvenating their plants, i'm
proving their smelters by put,
ting in new furnaces and other
wise increasing and repairing
their facilities in preparation for
what is expected will be a re-
sumption of operations on as
large a scale as in the past-if,
indeed, not on larger scale.
"Bisbee, Jerome, Douglas and
other Arizona camps are enjoy
ing wideawake industrial activi.
ty, and it is anticipated that fol-
lowing the presidential election
all the big smelters and mines
will be operating full blast.
"At present the men are busy
at work getting ready for the
future resumption; and although

TO CREDITORS
.IuA,a Baxter Denied Petition of Mrs.
RenoIsy 20 Allow Her to Collect
Insurance Policy.

Judge Baxter of the district court
of Clay county filed decision In the
Office Of the clerk of court TO-DAY
which settles a point in relation 70
an endowment life insurance policy
that a wife cannot collect the pro-
ceeds of such policy held by her
husband. who is bankrupt. The court
saws that the proceeds from the policy
must be used to the benefit OF the
creditors. Mrs. Nellie Remley brought
an action to change the wording OF an
endowment insurance policy whlch
was drawn in favor of her husband
who is now a bankrupt. Mrs. Remley
claimed that a mistake was made and
IL was intended to have her as the
beneficiary and asked to have IT rectl-
fed. The court holds that there was
NOT suf1cient evidence adduced to
warrant a change being made and de-
nies the petition of the wife. Atty. =.
E. Sharp is the trustee in bankruptcy
and will now proceed to use the in
surance funds for the benefit OF the
creditors.

TO smile cheerfully over the losses

tue Of necessity. for since the rise OF
Bryan they have had few such con-
tributions to taint the purity Of their

publicans to produce the ante and take
down the 'open game" sign, they put
put the @. O. P. managers in an un-
comfortable box.
"Of course, the preponderance OF
wealth and ability to give Is still inn
mensely on our side." said a promt-
nent republican, and we have big
Office holding class who viii give up.
But it is certain that the new rules
of the game are going to even up mat
ters very much as between the two
parties The concessions which Mr..
Taft has made in the matter of cam
paign publicity and in declaring that
no corporation money win pe acceprcva
represent a real and large sacrifice.
Whether the country recognizes them
in this light 1t is certain the politicians
do
