conclusively that there was not a
state in the Union more admirably
adapted to dairying.
The final address af the afternoon
was by Mr.. F. H. Griswold, of the
Chicago Tribune, inviting Mississippi
to send an exhibit to the land show to
take place in Chicago under the au.
spices of that publication. At the

S. A. Hughes.
The first speaker was Mr.. S. A.
Hughes, general immigration agent of
the Frisco Railroad, whose subject
was Immigration and How to Get
It."
Mr.. Hughes went back to the history
of the several races of humanity and
brought that history up to the point
of Discerning between the desirable
and the undesirable citizen.
Woven with the history was that OF
the development of the United States
much of which has been accomplished
by stimulated immigration. He told
of the vast drift westward of the pop
ulation and the effort of several states
in cooperation with the railroads to
induce this immigration to locate in
certain localities.
He suggested a state immigration
bureau, to be supplied with informa
tlon in regard to all the farm lands
for sale, this information to be impart
ed to inquirers.
He had driven into the interior OF
Italy to study the conditions in the
peasant environments. The result
was he advised against .inn1grants

the North of the same were

LOVE AND JUNE.

Back once more to Love and June,
We have come across the SHOWS
Underneath the summer moon,
In the shadow of the rose;
Where the innocence of the night
Drifts above the star-streaked lawn
From the dusk of purple light
To the silver of the dawn.
Back once more to Love and June,
You and land all our dreams,
From the bleak and frozen dune
Seek once more the singing streams
Seek the ways that lead us back
Through the blur of mist and haze
Out of Loves aforementioned track,
Into Lies dim yesterdays.
Back once more to Love and June,
We have crossed the winter SHOWS
Underneath the summer moon,
In the shadow of the rose;
And at tW1llght-let us then
You and I-where e'er we wait,
Dream that life is young again
And that Love is at the gate.

Halley's 8 Comet.

Prof. G. A. Mitchell, of Columbia Uni
versity, tells some interesting things
about Halley's comet in recent issue
of the New York Sun
at is now over seven months since
the comet was picked up on a photo
graphic plate and during this interval
it has been coming closer to the sun.
In short time it will appear as mag
nifcent object in our skies.
The younger generation have not
been favored with the sight of comet,
for the last brilliant comet was that of
1882, thus the appearance of Halley's $
comet is of more than usual interest,
especially to astronomers for it is the
first of these wanderers which has re-
visited the earth according to calcula-
ton; it is to present the unusual phe-
nomenon of crossing the face of the

EX-GOVERNOR BROWN AND
THE COMMISSIONS.

Ex-Gov. Frank Browns ex-
citement over the increase of
commissions in Maryland's S
government-an excitement so
intense that he is even ready to
become Governor again, if neces-
sary to remedy the evils
readily understood by those who
recall the former Governors at
titude on the question of the
automobile. Not many months
ago says the Evening Sun, in a
weak moment, Mr.. Brown broke
down and told the truth about
that pernicious invention. The
tenor of his remarks was that
the automobile is robbing our
citizens of their virtue, making
thieves of honest men, Destroy
ing business stability and threat
ening financial panic. 1t was
easily deductible from the ex-
Governors talk on that occasion
that he further held the buzzing
wagon responsible for volcanic
eruptions then in progress, high
er taxes and increased marital
infdelities. One sees now,
therefore, that the automobile
commission is the chief object of
his energetic attack. 1t is known
that the Ex-Governor would
rather be a Warwick than a Pooh
bah; that he would rather make
Governors than be one. If he is
really ready to take the Office,
that simply indicates how grave
he considers the situation.
The only trouble about the cry
of useless expenditure and extra
vagance in connection with the
automobile commissioner is this,
that, while the eXpen ses of the
office will amount to a few
thousand dollars annually, the
receipts will amount to a great
many thousands. And the same
thing is true, in one way or an
other, of all the commissions
authorized by the recent Legis-
lature.

GOVERNOR WILL BOOM FARMING

Governor Crothers has a new
and practical idea, to the develop
ment of which he will devote a
great deal of time and attention
during the remainder of his term.
He will inaugurate a movement
to improve the agricultural
methods of the state and to de-
velop the latent farming inter-
ests.
He will make the movement a
companion of that which he
started two years ago for better
roads He believes that an i'm
provement in farming should
keep apace with the improve
ment in public highways, and
that farmers should avail them
selves of the better facilities Of
fored them for reaching markets.
He believes that farming has
reached that stage in it's progress
that it appeals to the exercise of
the brain, rather than to the
exercise of the muscle, and that
as result farmers boy will find
at home a profitable field for the
exercise of their best mental de-
velopment.
With these ideas in view he
will appoint a commission whose
duty will be to foster the latest
ideas in farming of all classes.
1t will include dairymen, Gamers,
fruit growers, nurserymen,
truckers and tobacco planters.
This commission will arrange
a series of meetings throughout
the state, to which farmers will
be invited and at which speakers
who have won national reputa-
ton because of their knowledge
of farming will make addresses.
The Department of Agriculture
at Washington will be asked to
cooperate.
Experimental farms will be
established wherever possible in
order that there may be a practi-
cal exhibition of the latest farm
ing ideas.
The Maryland Agricultural
College and Experiment Station
and other state bodies interest
ed in agricultural development
and the Bureau of immigration
will be asked to cooperate in
this progressive movement.

ward the point where the sun is to rise.
The best time to see it will be a little
over an hour before sunrise. The comet
will rise tail first, the tail pointing dir
ectly away from the sun.
1.-THE best time to see the comet in the
morning will be from May 10th to May
10Th. After May 18th the comet draws
in toward the sun quickly, and on the
evening of May 18th it passes between
US and the sun. On May 18th it will
be at its brightest and can be seen in
the west just after sundown.
"For the next few days thereafter
the comet should present a magnificent
spectacle in the evening sky, with a
tail pointing up from the horizon
stretching one-third of the zenith. 1t
will vanish to the unaided eye before
July 1st.

Letter of Senator Gore to SightIess
Children Was Printed in Raised
Letters For Them.

NEW YORK.-The following let
ter from Senator Thomas P. Gore of
Oklahoma to the blind pupils in New
York public schools was read to them
by their teachers today:
My Dear Little Friends: This
note will bring you greetings and a
message from one who has the high
lest and most confident hope both for
your happiness and your good for
tune. If you are undismayed by
difficulties and triumph over them
your victory will be enhanced by its
worth and in it's glory. Sincerely
your friend, THOS. P. GORE"
Accompanying the letter, which
will be printed for the pupils in
raised letters, with an embossed fac
smile of the seator's signature at
the bottom, was a brief note of ex-
PLANTATION from the superintendents OF
schools.
Senator Gore lost the use of his
eyes when he was child said SUI
perintendent Maxwell, but in spite
of this affection he has made himself
a man of culture and power in his
state. He is a member of the senate
of the United States, and is justly
regarded as one of the most eloquent
members of that great Legislative

BALLOON WILL CARRY SO MEN
Big Flying Ship Loaded With Pas
sengers Soon to Start From
Paris to London.

For the first time the builders of
the great dirigible balloon Clement
Bayard II, which is soon to start
from Paris for London, have allowed
exact details of it's dimensions and
capacity to become known.
1t is intended to carry twenty pas
sengers, 2 pilots, 2 mechanics, 700
pounds of petrol and ,440 pounds of
ballast. In case of necessity the
number of passengers can be in
creased to 35.
The total lifting power of the bal
loon is 1000 pounds, exclusive of the
car and motors. The car is $50 feet
long, and the motors are of 125-horse
power each There will be two pro-
pellers each of them Is feet in di-
ameter, placed well forward of the
car, which is hung 81 feet below the
gas bags.
The brothers Voisin, who have al
ways maintained that an aeroplane
can fly without any device for warp
ing the wings, have been obliged to
abandon their theory. The latest
biplane built by them bears a close
resemblance to that of Henry Far
man.
