We had the conditions to meet In ex-
tending the High Schools the patrons filled,
which required and demanded aid. We
had no levy to meet this extra expense.
no alternative but to assume the obliga-
tons or throw the State aid for Montgom-
cry county High Schools to the four winds
Again, after borrowing money 10 close the
years work. we found $4,000 OF the money
due the schools went TO pay interest on
the $5.OOOO0O road fund. which never
was made good. Another instance, after
the new assessment was made our super
intendent made his estimate on the in
creased basis, and when the instalments
came Montgomery county got no increase
The increase all going to other counties.
WhyY Because so many Of our children
were attending the district schools. Here
was another loss Of five or six thousand
dollars appropriated for schools and not
received. Thus our deficiency from the
county appropriations, the additional bur
den Of the District law and the natural
growth Of the needs OF the schools have
made the situation beyond endurance with
the present levy
And we here warn the taxpayers and
patrons Of the public schools that these
obligations must be met In some way by
and through the schools. u not through in

Game Preserve At Oakdale Farm.

Howard county folks are much interested
in the announcement from former Gov
Warfield that he intends establishing a
game preserve of 140 acres as part Of
Oakdale Farm. his home place in the
Fourth district of the county.
The activity of the former Governor in
this regard has spurred on his neighbOrs
to such an extent that they will band to-
gether next Saturday in the formation Of
District Protective Game Association
which will make rules for the protection
of birds and beasts on a territory of 5000
or 5000 acres. The leader in this move
ment is Frank Smith, an old resident, who
has been devoted to wild animals for years
When Edwin Warfeld, Jr., returned this
father divulged to him the plans regard
ing the game preserve. 1t was not stated
then just what the size of the Enclosure
would be, but not long ago tract of lac
acres. containing much woodland and a
beautiful valley. with accompanying hills
was selected, and an order is about tC
be issued to wire fence firm for material
enough to build a barrier nine feet high
about the whole preserve.
I'VE are so enthusiastic about our plans,
said Edwin Warfeld, Jr.. that we have
not thought much about when we shall dc
any shooting. In fact, think we shall be
so rapt up in seeing the birds and animals
grow that we shall not want to do any
killing at least for some time"
A hunting lodge will be constructed in
suitable spot on the tract. and there the
hosts will be able to provide comfort and
shelter for their friends who will be invited
to join them in the shooting. 0akdale
House will be so convenient, however, that
large parties will be entertained there.
1t is thought that wild turkeys of the
genuine variety will be purchased shortly
and when their wings have been clipped
they will be freed in the forest to roam
as they please within the Enclosure. Eng
lish Ring-Neck pheasants will also be OBJ
tanned Their wings will be treated in the
same way as the turkeys. and il is de.
clared that their broods will be so accus.
toned to the preserve that they will never
leave it, The first importations, therefore
will be the only ones that will have to
suffer the clipping.
Deer and elk. besides Hungarian plOver
will constitute a part of the stock. AL
these are expensive and will not be shO
until their numbers have been multiplied
considerably. The best wild turkeys cost
about $50 a pair, while deer are nov
quoted at $50 apiece.
OF course, some of this game will FIND
way to other farms, and il is largely fol
that reason that the neiehbOrs of the
Warfelds are organizing the protective as.
sOciatiOn. Rules will be made for the
feeding of birds in cold weather, the pro
lection of game from stray dogs and the
number of days in the year when hunting
will be permitted.
Many Of Mr.. Warfed's ideas concerning
the preserve were obtained from the Wood
mont Rod and Gun Club. near Hancock
Md. which he visited last winter.

To The Taxpayers And Patrons OF
The Public Schools OF Mont
gOmery County.

We, the undersigned Board of Count y
School Commissioners of Montgomery coun-
ty. wish to state that the levy for schools
in this county is inadequate to keep the
schools open nine months per year and
has been for several years.
The State appropriations depend upon the
cOuntys keeping the schools open nine
months or lose our State aid amounting to
a sum greater than the deficiency of our
levy for schools.
The estimate furnished the County Com
missiOners asked for $65,000 to operate
the schools this year. This amount, with
the State funds, would run the schools for
nine months session without any indebt-
edness for the year. The County Commits
sioners appropriated $4,000 for present
school year. Against this amount was
already charged an anticipation of $40, 900
from the last fiscal year and So, 800 Dor
rOwed, with approval of County Commits
sioners. to meet the needs of a school in
Chevy Chase after the District of Columbia
refused to accept pupils from the State in
accordance with the law passed by Con
gress. This gives the School Commission
ers SAP, 500 available this year from the
County Commissioners against $685. 900
asked for to operate the schools for the
term of nine months per year. A shortage
of 1922 500, to which must be added SIS, 900
for sinking fund and $4,000 interest on
accumulated debt, thus making a total of
$685. less than estimated amount
needed for year
Stated in tabulated form we have:

SuFFS FEAR
ATTACK ON new Law

Peoria. ILL.,. Oct. t7.-Admission
by Mrs. Medill Mccormick that she
and the other Chicago suffragette
leaders interested themselves as In
dividuals in the judicial campaign
In the fifth district because they
feared Tor the equal suffrage law
caused much comment in political
circles today.
Mrs. Mccormick said:
THE woman's suffrage law is not
entirely safe yet. The opposition is
working night and day.
At the next election we will prob
ably have n contest on our hands.
We have taken the law to half i do
zen lawyers and We know that thtre
is a technical point that may be mis-
construed.
There Is no use pretending that
such things are not done: they are
done and we women felt that we
could not sit still when Judge was
to be chosen who will have as much
po"Si oNNi >iNdSo as over tUe rest

A woman who attended the Chill

mick II Arthur II. Shay. the Pro-
gressive candidate for whom the suf-
frage orators are stumping the dis
trict. would construe them in favor
OF the women If he is elected to tho
supreme bench of the state.
81 wouldn't say that replied Mrs
Mccormick. A Judge cannot pledge
himself before he has a cause. How
ever, Mr.. Shay's record shows that
he leans to the human side of things
and he would not be running on the

OPPOSE PARCEL POST ORDER
Congress Expected to Take Steps to Prevent Changes Going Into Ef-
 feet August IS.

Washington, July 24-Concerted opposition has developed in congress to Postmaster General Burlesons or der reducing parcel-post rates and in creasing the maximum size of pack ages to be handled in the service.
 The order was issued to become ef- fective August 15, and the senate postoffice committee has requested Mir. Burleson to appear before the committee next Thursday with an ex- planation of the authority for his ac- tion.
 This was the first step in what promises to be a bitter contest. When the postmaster general has been heard, the committee is expected to undertake to have withdrawn before August 15 any authority he may claim congress has given him to change rates and sizes
 It was contended in the committee that the proposed changes would en- tail an enormous loss to the govern ment, and some of the members com plained strenuously that the postoffice department had failed to furnish con- gress with data concerning the opera ton of the parcel post.

OPPOSE NICARAGUA TREATY
Latin-American Diplomats Say Incl Countries Would Not Submit to
 Suzerainty by United States.

Washington, July 24-"Make no move which would indicate a willing ness on the part of our government to consider for one moment the ar ranging of such treaty with the United States as is proposed by the American state department with Nica- ragua."
 In substance the foregoing are the contents of the messages received here by the accredited representatives of the governments of Guatemala and Salvador.
 While none of the other representa- tives from Central and South America here received any such message, the little group of Latin-Americans are much perturbed over the announce ment that the American state depart ment wishes to incorporate in treaty with Nicaragua the Platt amendment which gives the United States suzer ainty over Nicaragua. The feeling shown by these representative is but a reflection of that which is being ex- hibited by all the serious thinking people of their countries, according to some of the representatives.
