GIRLS LAKE GOOD FARMERS,

Girls have shown themselves bet
ter practical farmers than boys. The
boys corn raising clubs organized
by the agricultural department sew
eral years ago proved very success
full, but this success has been eclipsed
by somewhat similar clubs for girls
more recently organized. Such is the
statement of the agricultural de-
partment in it's report upon the
movement to instruct girls in the art
of raising vegetables and fruits and
the work of canning them. More
than $4,000 girls have been enrolled
these clubs. Oklahoma girls hold
the record, having raised and canned
this year ninety varieties Of fruits
and vegetables.-Leslie's. How about

The Sanford Herald continues to
strongly endorse the Brown bill to
provide for absentee voting and
quoting some recent remarks by the
Telegram on the subject, adds:
"And the Herald and the people
OF Sanford fully endorse the Brown
bill az our many railroad men here
can fully attest to the merits Of the
bill. Another good feature Of the
bill 10 the big cost in saving to the
candidates. As elections are now
carried out a candidate usually pays
expenses and railroad fare for the
travelling voters to come home and
cast their ballots and this expense
money amounts to more than one
would imagine"

GIVE THE REASONS AGAINST IT.

In giving publicity in advance OF
the session to the new measures
which he will recommend to the
Legislature, Governor Trammells
expressed purpose is to arouse gen.
eral discussion concerning them and
put them on trial, so to speak. in the
court Of public opinion. The pro-
posed guarantee Of bank deposits
law is an especially noteworthy one,
fer 1t involves a radical change in
one vital respect in our whole bank
ing system, and now is the time for
our bankers to be expressing their
opinions as to its desirability or
otherwise, and their reasons for
thinking SO. They should do this in
order that their representatives, be-
fore going to Tallahassee, may get
AZ much information as possible
from expert sources on subject with
which naturally they have but lit
tie acquaintance.
Governor Trammell. President
Wilson and William j. Rryan all be-
lieve in a law to guarantee the de-
posts in our banks from fund
created by taxing the banks them
selves; such a law is working sue
cossfully in Oklahoma and Kansas.
and with the issue right ahead of us
here in Florida, II our bankers are
opposed to it they would do both the
public asA ths legislator! Legislators good SER
vice by saying why.
The Miami Metropolis groups
some salient reasons why such a law
should be enacted in Florida as fol-
lows:
"Other States have tried the bank
guarantee system and have found 1t
good and when you stop to think
about it, why should man be ex-
;ectcl to carry his earnings to
bank, hand them over to the men in
charge and go away with no greater
assurance that his money Is safe
than that of the generally good rep
citation of the bankers. and the fire.
proof, burglar-prOof vaults? And as
Governor Trammcll states in his
recommendation to the Legislature,
there is no reason why the banks
should not be even more prosperous
under the guarantee system than
they are at present. Deposits would
certainly be made with greater con-
iidence, danger of panics would be
obviated and a general stability in
finances would follow that would
make for greater commercial conf
dence in every way. 1t is unqaes-
tionably right that every safeguard
should be put about the money
placed in trust-a man should be
absolutely certain of the return Of
every dollar deposited, nor is II
enough to point out the fact that
tho banks of Florida are unusually
we'll managed institutions; that the
men directing their affairs are Of the
highest order; 1t has just happened
~ and in no degree does it remove
the occasion for public demand for
q guaranty on every dollar entrust-
Cd to bank institution"

Four Found Guilty of Tearing up
State Road.

Four men, Frostburg city employees,
Frank Robinson. John Herbaugh, Will
liam Brode. and Emery Minnie, the
latter of Garrett county, were Tuesday
fined $25 each, charged with tearing up
the state road near Big Savage Noun
tam. without having secured the nee
essary permission from the State Roads
Commission. The case was tried at
Grantsville before Squire Biddinger,
Mr.. Andrew Ramsey representing the
State Road Commission and beng legal
ly represented by Mr.. Lindley Sloan.
The accused men were represented by
Charles G. Watson, attorney, of Frost
burg, who took an appeal in each case.
On September q, the men were
charged by l.. T. Downey, resident en-
gineer for the State Roads Commission.

May Change Election Law.

The nomination of the bulk of the
progressive ticket in Maryland by con-
ventIons instead of by open primaries
will probably result in a change in the
Primary Election Law by the next
General Assembly. Many local law
yers are agreed that technically the
Progressives had the right to make the
nominations by committees under the
present law, but it is generally agreed
that the trainers of the primary statute
had no such idea in view when the act
was proposed and passed. The Progress
sives took advantage of the clause
which gave the right to the various
parties to fill vacancies. The spirit of
the section, according to many non
partisan lawyers, was to permit a full
ticket to be placed in the field in the
event of any deaths or designations Of
candidates after the primaries.
The action of the Progressives, how
ever, has already resulted in some law
yers proposing that the next Legisla-
ture amend the law to provide that at
least the majority Of each party ticket
shall be nominated in the primaries and
to make clear the right of the various
parties to make nominations after the
primaries only where vacancies were
unavoidable.
