While the opinions, even Of experts. are
various on most topics, we find them espe-
clally diverse upon the question of sleep
Some argue that abundant sleep is noces-
sary to repair the waste OF mind and
body: others with Edison In their van, If
report speaks truly declare that we sleep
too much!
AS a matter Of fact, the truth seems to
lie with neither extreme. But we must
remember that we are creatures Of habit
and that II we accustom ourselves TO need

or not we suffer BY this shortening OF SLEEP

STATE ROADS.


The State Roads Commission since
its induction into office has been tax
ing up the work Of road building
throughout the State 10 earnest and
it bids fair to accomplish much along
the line of good road building
throughout the State.
Mr.. Weller, the Chairman Of the
State Roads Commission, his assis-
tant, Mr.. Zouck and Chief Engineer
Shirley, have gone all over the State
inspecting the proposed routes and
work has begun on many Of the pro-
posed roads, principally in the noun
famous sections in Western Mary
land where they are obliged to begin
work early on account Of the early
winter.
Though all of the above gentle
men have been over the proposed
routes in this county no work out
side Of the surveying has been done.
The summer is over half gone and it
is hoped that the commission will
soon begin its work in this county
Tie work should be begun as soon
as practicable SO that as much per-
manent road as possible can be built
before the winter weather sets in and
the work has to stop.
There is plenty Of good material
consisting of clay and gravel in the
county and the roads can be built out
county material. From what we
have gathered though the daily press
Mr.. Weller is fayorably impressed
with the home material we have and
believes that good and permanent
roads can be built out Of our own
material.
The people Of the county are anxi-
GUS that the work be commenced as
early as practicable and it is hoped
that the commission will take up the
road building in this county early in
order that something along the line
Of good road building may be accom-
plished before the winter.

STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU
IS BUSY.

Although July and August are
generally regarded as dull months
around the offices Of the State Bureau
Of Immigration, they being the two
months Of the year during which
comparatively few inquiries are re-
eeived relative to Maryland real es-
tate, this month bids fair to prove an
exception to the rule. Last week
the bureau received 45 letters asking
information concerning Maryland
farms as against considerably less
than half that number for correspond
ng periods during former years.
1t endeavors to influence immigra-
ton to all sections Of the State, but
the bureau is devoting the greater
portion Of its energies to settling
Southern Maryland, and in this work
has achieved gratifying results. The
Slavonic settlement which has been
started in ST. Mary's county gives
promise Of developments far greater
than ware anticipated. The immi-
grants appear to be thoroughly sails
fed and the settlement seems to be
prosperous in every way.
Another foreign settlement started
at Preston, Caroline county, has
shown excellent results, and the bu-
reau expects even better results in
the future.
The lack Of proper transportation
facilities has naturally been great
handicapin the upbuiding of thu,
Southern part of the State, but the
officials Of the bureau are convinced
that railroad development will soon
be reality in that section. With
the assurance Of proper means of
reaching the markets they expect
genuine and substantial real estate
boom in the Southern MARYLAND
counties which will make them as
prosperous as any counties 10 the
State.
A lack of funds prevents tie bu-
reau from doing as much advertising
as it would ike to do. However, il
is endeavoring to make lis ad sertis-
ing better and is now placing it in
journals affording better facilities for
reaching the people it desires to
reach. Instead Of advertising in the
newspapers Of such cities as Berlin it
now anveriises in Continental agri-
cultural journals going directly to the
European farmers. Such advertising |
it is hoped, will more surely reach
farmers who are anxious to immi.

THE SPRAYING OF TOMATOES.

The growing of tomatoes for can
ming purposes seems to be on the
increase in many sections Of the
State. The crop is a profitable one
when properly grown and cared for.
1t does not pay for the trouble Of
handling when only three or four
tons are produced, per acre.
The blighting of large amount OF
foliage of the plants just before ripen-
ing Of the fruit is very common and
causes severe losses in many patches.
This disease is common throughout
the States, its rapid development be-
ing dependent upon favorable con
diiions.
As blight may be expected to de-
velop in any patch, precautions
should be taken to prevent it, as far
as possible.
All patches should be sprayed
once or twice with Bordeaux Mixture,
A lbs. Stone Lime, 4 lbs. Copper
Sulphate Blue Vitrol, to so gal.
water.) This is a safe preventive
and is very inexpensive remedy.
1t has been shown time and again
that this treatment is very beneficial
and will prevent tomatoes from be-
ing badly attacked by this disease.
Spray now. 1t is TOO late after the
disease appears.
The Maryland Agricultural College
and Experiment Station will be glad
to conduct some demonstration
sprayings for this disease in any part
of the County. All persons who
would desire to cooperate in the
treatment OF this crop, should i'm
mediately communicate with the I'M
designed. 1t is also desired to con-
duct demonstration in packing OF

On Saturday last by vote of So
70 % William S. Lorimer of Illinois
was ousted from his seat in the Uni
ted States Senate. This is the sec
ond time that an investigation has
been made TO ascertain whether or
not the blonde man from Illinois had
obtained his seat though the use Of
money. The first time he was cleared
from any charge Of having bought
his seat. Under pressure, from a lot
Of of newspapers which were antag-
onistic TO the Senator a second in
vestigation was taken and the result
that be was ousted. According to the
facts as far as we have been able TO
get them the indications are that no
thing was proved against the Sem
ator showing that he either used
money himself or that he knew of
any being used. The report as far
as have further been able to ascer-
tain shows that only forty-seyen
copies Of the testimony had been
gotten from the printing Office leaving
the inference that forty seven SEN
ators read tn testimony demon
strates the fact that Mr.. Lorimer was
not oustei on good grounds but the
Senators or at least a number who
voted to Dust him were Influenced
