The Travellers Jaw.

The cream Of tartar tree. which is
also called the "sour gourd." grows in
northern Australia and has a trunk
which measures from seventy to
eighty-five feet in circumference, but
which Is only twenty or thirty feet
high. The wood is soft and juicy and
when STEPPED in water provides the
thirsty traveller with refreshing and
cooling drink. The fruit is about six
inches long. shaped like lemon and
contains a gently acid pulp, which
tastes like cream Of tartar. Wherever
1t is to be found small encampment
of weary wayfarers unfurl their tents.
When sighted in the bush the famous
tree is always greeted with song
written by the early bushrangers
called "Sing Hey For the Travellers
Joy."-New York Telegram.

As result of the recent high bids for
State road work It is asserted the Com.
mission will appeal to the Pennsylvania
railroad in an effort TO secure special low
rates for hauling stone to build the State
roads.
In Illinois in 1906 10 railroads made a
Hat rate of u cent per ton per mile, and
the Chicago and Alton Railroad gave
special rate of 8 mills per ton per mile.
The Baltimore. and Ohio Railroad will
hanl stone from Martinsburg. w. Va, to
Baltimore. distance of about I26 miles,
at little less than Il a cent per ton pei
mile. The Road Commission would
doubtless be willing to pay the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad the same rate proportion
ately. Stone. it is argued. Is an easy
material for a railroad to haul.

Every Price Should Have Reason.
It must be remembered always that
It is not the price Of an article which
is important. but the reason for the
price.
The bankrupt stock, the fire sale, the
manufacturers remnants, the annual
teearance. the removal sale, the disso-
luton Of partnership sale-what are
these and many more but arguments
for the price? And note this one point
that without the argument the price
is powerless. Reduce fur lined over
coats from 500 to $50 and your liberal
discount attracts little attention. Why?
Because there Is no reasonable expla-
nation for the reduction. Why should
you present overcoats to the public?
But announce that owing to an ex-
piration of your lease and the impera-
tive command that you vacate your
present store within two weeks you
will reduce the price Of your fur lined
overcoats from 500 to $50 and you
may sell easily all you have to offer.
Instinctively the public sees the whole
picture the proprietor's anxiety, the
inevitable removal, the lessening days,
the final sacrifice and the store full Of
eager buyers, quick to seize such an
opportunity. This is only half the
reduction previously considered. But
one is business without Imagination,
and the other is business with it,

The bids opened by the State Road
Commission for the construction of some
forty miles of road, in nine counties of
the State. including Cecil county, make
Il clear that some cheaper means of road
construction than macadam will have to
be devised if the full mileage allotted to
each county is to be built.
In Cecil county the lowest bid for 8 LILO
miles of macadam road, through section
in which stone abounds. requiring but a
short haul, and thereby saving large
item in labor, was over $4,000. This is
far in excess Of the estimates of the State
engineers and makes it apparent the
hopes Of the good road enthusiasts are not
yet TO be realized, as at this rate per mile
the enormous sum required to construct
the total mileage mapped out by the
State Commission, would need both State
and National resources to draw from in
order to complete.
The work of constructing improved
roadways in the State must necessarily be
slow, and meanwhile, as we will always
have the dirt roads with us, much good
could be accomplished by State wide
campaign of education in the use Of the
King road drag. which has assisted won
derfully in road improvement in other
States, and the operation of which is
both simple and Inexpensive. Two or
three progressive road members in Cecil
are using the drag end find it will do all
that is claimed for it, when operated in
the proper manner and at the right time.
In southern Lancaster county, Pa, the
Farmers League and Lancaster Automo.
bile Climb are conducting an active cam
paign to secure the general use of the
drag ON dirt roads, the automobile club
agreeing to furnish drags to all who will
combine forces and drag at least three
miles of road. This offer is being accept
ed by numerous road supervisors and
farmers, and is having good effect, and
there is every reason TO believe that some
such concerted movement in the various
counties of Maryland would not only
meet with favor but be the means of
greatly improving our dirt roads.
Recently we have had in this section
abundant illustration of antiquated road
mending methods. which consists of SHOW
cling dirt from side bitches into the mid.
die of the road, where the recent rains
converted it into mud nearly foot deep.
On one of these newly ''mended'' roads
near town last week big 6o-horse power
automobile was completely stalled and
required the services Of farm team to
pull 1t over the 'mended' section. Such
work is hardly in keeping with the
progress of the times but is persistently
followed by the majority of our road
members.

The republican national platform of
last year promised unequivocally that the
tariff would be revised at session of
Congress to be called Immediately after
Inauguration. The democrats pointed
out that "revise" did not necessarily
mean reduce, but Mr. Taft declared his
party stood for an "honest" revision and
announced that the revision would
probably" be downward. The trust
representatives in Congress have different
notions about revision" as the Payne
bill raises the average I.56 per cent,
while the Senate bill raises the rate ?
per cent. Trust REVISION" as engineered
by the republican party, is not to be
downward.

President Taft and Secretary Knox are
not little disturbed over the reports
which reach them of conditions in Cuba.
1t seems that the new Cuban government
is just awakening to its freedom from
American restraint aud is in fair way to
muddle the finances of the island if it
does not precipitate a national bank
ruptcy. The government is devoting its
energies to the indulgence of varied and

Representative Hayes has acted on the

Gently at dinner rendered by number
of Washington business men, in intro.
ducing resolution in the House, this
week, providing for the restoration to the
District of Columbia Of the land which
was coded to Virginia in 1886, and which

District of Columbia. This land com.
prises many thousands of acres in Alexan.

from Washington, and is used chiefly for
agricultural purposes, although the town
of Alexandria is included. Mr.. Hayes
resolution provides that this land be again
made part of the District. except the town
of Alexandria, and authorizes the Presi.
dent to open negotiations through the
War Department and to complete the
transfer By July I, 1910 and authorizes an
appropriation Of 100000 for the trans
action. In his address to the business
pen the President expressed the opinion
that the act of Congress in receding the
land was unconstitutional and that the
District of COLUMBIA should regain it.
Mr.. Hayes resolution has been referred
to the District of Columbia Committee
and will not be acted on until the next
session, but Representative Hayes be.

plan will insure its passage.

The sensational character of the dis
patches sent out from Washington con.
corning certain defective armor plates
which have been found in the construc.
ton of the battleships North Dakota and
Delaware, is greatly deprecated by the
officials at the Navy Department. They
explain that defective plates always are
and always have been found from time to
time. that it is not known what causes
the blisters and. therefore, it has been
impossible thus far to prevent their oc-
casional occurrence. 1t has been the Gus.
tom, heretofore. merely to reject the
plates when found defective, without say.
ing anything about it. but recently the
department has adopted new policy.
As nothing was to be gained by secrecy,
no effort is now made to conceal the fact
that such defective plates have been found
and rejected, although the first infor-
nation to reach the public has received
wholly unwarranted prominence.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The test vote taken on the income tax
question in the Senate last week, is be.
lieved to foreshadow victory for the
Republican leaders 10 their plan to refer
both the Bailey and Cummings amend
ments to the Judiciary Committee The
vote to defer consideration of the income
tax amendments until June 10 means
that no amendments to provide for
special taxes will be taken up by the
Senate until the schedules of the tariff
bill are adopted, and it is the intention,
of course, of the Finance Committee to
show that the new customs duties will
raise sufficient revenue to support the
government and that any special tax is
wholly unnecessary.
