CornstaIk Paper Is Now A Reality.

The day of paper made from cornstalks
has come, the experiments of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, having
proved the process can be made a COM
mercial proposition. For some time these
experiments have been under way, and
now the Department is utilizing some of
the cornstalk paper for its correspondence,
and operates mill which turns out the
new paper. of a high grade, by the hun
dred-pound lot. The experts of Uncle Sam
say that a small commercial mill can be
kept busy through the entire year by the
stalks from the corn fields within a radius
of eight to ten miles.
Perhaps it will not be many years before
the farmer will look upon his stalks as the
most valuable part of his corn crop. If he
can realize but half cent a pound he
will get more for them than for his corn at
go cents a bushel. The problem of max
ing cheaper paper to compete with the
wood pulp article used for printing news
papers has not been solved yet, though the
investigators are hopeful. What this will
mean can be readily realized when
it is stated that about $35,000,00O worth
of raw material, wood pulp, is used annu-
ally in the paper-making business in this
country. That means great many trees
cut down.
The stalks are pressed until the juice,
a very rich stock food. is extracted, then
shredded and dried. In this form they
will keep sweet year, insuring a steady

The Moncpre ASsailants Held In
$1,000 Bail Each.

Thursday of last week Peyton WhaIen,
OF Bethesda district, and Joseph Whalen,
Of Potomac district, two brothers, and
Joshua Offutt, of Potomac district, were
given hearing by Police Justice Reading in
the Court House here, charged with an as
sault upon Lawyer R. C. L. Moncure, of
Virginia, on the night of January 25th.
The warrants charged the defendants with
assault with intent to kill and assault with
intent to MAIN. About three hundred
persons from Virginia, the District of Co.
lumbia and this county were present to
witness the proceedings, which were con-
tinued from II O'Clock in the morning to
in the evening. The accused were de-
Tended by Attorneys John A. Garrett and
Emory II. Bogley, of the Rockville bar, and
the State was represented by States At
torney Bowie F. Waters.
The assault grew out of what the as
sailants of Moncure considered offensive
conduct on the part of Moncure in his
examination of them as witnesses in the
Offutt will case, which had just been closed
and given to the jury when the assault was
made. Mr.. Moncure had left the Court
House and reached the street in front,
crossing it on his way to the MONTGOMERY
Hotel.
Testimony offered by both sides agreed
that Joseph Whalen had accosted Moncure
while the lawyer was on his way from the
court house to the hotel and had asked
the Vireinian if he intended to call him
(Joseph Whalen) liar by his statement
in the court room. According to the testi-
mony, Moncure replied that he had meant
just what he said. whereupon Jos. Whalen
struck him. The testimony also was clear
that at this juncture Peyton Whalen struck
Moncure, partially knocking him down, and
that he chased him across the street and
back to where the trouble started and
again struck him and knocked him down.
Mr.. Moncure testified that both the
Whalens struck and kicked him after he
was knocked down the second time. and
that Joshua Offutt also kicked him. He
was corroborated by several witnesses so
far as the Whalens were concerned. but
none of the other witnesses saw Offutt
either strike or kick the attorney.
Peyton Whalen admitted striking and
chasing Moncure as indicated, but denied
that he or any one else kicked him. He said
that when he saw his brother strike at
MOncure, the lawyer put his hand behind
him as if to draw a pistol and that he
then waded in. He explained, in answer
to question why he ran after Moncure
if he thought the latter had gun, that he
wanted to keep as close to the man as
possible so as to prevent him using a
weapon if he had one.
Two witnesses testified that both Peyton
Whalen and Offutt had made threats, but
both men denied that they had been guilty
of anything of the kind.
At the completion of the taking of the
testimony, Justice Reading held the as
sailants to bail in the sum of $1,000 each
for their appearance at the next March term
of Court here. The bail was provided by
Messrs George G. Bradley, Jr., of Potomac
district. and Emory H. Boeley, of Bethesda
district

A Banquet That Should Make
History.

From the Sports of the Times
What promises to be the largest muster
Tor conviviality and consultation of men
interested in sports of the turf and field
ever seen in America has been arranged to
take place in New York city on the 18th
instant 1t will include those that are
prominent in the Jockey Club, Polo Asso-
citation, National Steeplechase and Hunt
Association, Masters of Fox Hounds Asso-
citation, Hunts Committee, Westminster
Kennel Club, National Horse Show Asso-
citation, Gentlemen Riders of America and
the recognized hunt clubs.
The moving spirit in this commendable
gathering, where after the inner man has
been fed there will be feast of reason
and flow of sentiment as to how the va
rious sports represented may best be pro-
NOTED in the future. is Harry W. Smith, a
well known cross-country rider of Boston
and master of the Grafton hounds in Massa-
chusetts. He made sound beginning by
securing August Belmont to preside at this
banquet, and the list of those who have
been invited and have accepted is a
long one. The date selected was a happy
thought since 1t is during the week
OF the dog show when several impor-
tant annual meetings of the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club. masters of fox hounds,
hunts committees, and kindred oreaniza-
tons are to be held. In speaking Of his
pgaiect and the reason for Il Mr.. Smith
made this common sense and interesting
statement:
THE dinner is for sportsmen of all kinds.
The fact is that, although last season there
was no racing at some of the metropolitan
tracks, the so-called hunt races proved a
greater success than ever consequently
there seems to be in the hearts of many
Americans deep-rooted respect for the
thoroughbred and the foxhound. The
wealthy class naturally turns to the coun-
try, and when once properly located the
pleasure and interest of such sports as hunt
hiSt hdOhib, pun anu DtCCulilB Vi uOTStS anu
hounds merit their attention, the same as
it did in their English ancestors generations
ago."
This gathering, which is to be held at
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel comes at time
when the glorious sport of racing needs
help 1t has been assailed from within
and without, but there is no reason that
those who have charge of it should grow
weak OR falter in their loyalty. We have
had gossip and scandal ad nauseum about
mythical funds to affect legislation and the
attempt to subvert the due process of laws
dealing with the speculative feature of the
turf. II is high time that the representa-
tive men who love sport for its own sake
should get together and formulate some
plan whereby the inalienable right of all
Americans to enjoy themselves after their
own fashion, so long as they do not inter
fere with others, may be safeguarded. Let
us hope that the banquet so near at hand
may be productive Of real benefit and not
merely serve as an occasion to eat, drink
and be merry.

"Helen Pink" A New Color.

Miss Helen Taft's fOndness for pink. says
a Washington correspondent Of the New
York World. has resulted in the President s
daughter being complimented by having a
new and exquisite shade Of that popular
color named for her, and the Helen pink"
promises to have great vogue in spring
and summer fabrics.
The color is variation Of the fashion
able coral pink and is shown in three tones,
the deepest being almost as dark as a coral.
II is, says its sponsors, far less trying to
the average person than the old-fashioned
rose pinks and is also easy to combine ar
tistically with other shades.
The new pink is so distinctive in tone
that ii cannot readily be duplicated II is so
beautiful that II is assured Of a wide pop
ularity, and the Helen" will reign supreme
as fashions latest cry during the coming
spring season.

Rev. Cyrus p. Keene. Of Hagerstown. SUI
periInendent Of the State League work in
Western Maryland Andrew Wilson, presi-
dent of the District of Columbia League,
and President J. Harry Smith.
Mr.. Keene talked principally about the
fight that is being made in behalf of State
wide local option. He declared that wher-
ever liquor has been eliminated the loss of

unanimously adopted indorsing the bill

In MemorIam.

In sad but loving remembrance of m,
dear cousin, Myrtle Grimes, who departed
this life November Is, 1910,
Loved in life, in death remembered.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed
Farewell. dear cousin, you are at rest.
And shall forever be,
You could not stay with us on earth
But we can 60 to thee.
The dear one now is sleeping,
No care is on her brow.
Oh blame us not for weeping,
We have no cousin now.
In the grave yard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the cousin loved so dearly
In her lonely. silent grave
By her cousin,
