BETTER ROADS.

The prophecy has been made that
Congress will probably pass at this
session good roads bill, framed a.
long practical lines AMI the state
lnent is also made that Congress is
Overwhelmingly in favor Of good
roads legislation. Betterment Of
public highways Is one Of the big
questions Of the time, and measuring
in the matter Of importan with
those questions involving reclamation
OF waste lands. conservation Of natur
al resources against monopoly and
reckless use and the restoration Of
fertility to land that from Indifferent
tillage has become infertile. Consid-
cradle progress already has been
noteworthy, but the largest gain hos
been in the education Of the people,
in the need and value Of good roads.
The education is nearly complete, in
that man who in the countr, is not
DESTROYS of and actively interested in
good roads is rare. The principal
consideration is now as 20 ways and
means for bringing about this reform
.
for although good reads pay high
dividends, large capital is required to
bring about the change, and the fret
cost is heavy, even though the ulti-
mate cost be distributed over rea-
sonable period.
The time has passed when a good
roads advocate must prove the cor
rectness Of his position by argument.
Everybody has been converted, and
the age of good road construction il
at hand. To this end there should
be effective cooperation between the
national government state govern
mvnts, counties and communities.
At the present rate of progress an
other generation will see the United
States equipped with a road system
not so good as the road systems Of
several European countries, but still
effective in bringing country an1 city
into very much closer relationship =

On Monday Of this week a
Committee of citizens repre-
senting large business interests APP
pared before President Wilson, who
is a member CT the Lincoln Highway
Commission, aud urged the Presi-
deut to use his efforts and influence
as a member Of The said Commission
to take in the Capital as part the
route. This action is wise and at
the next meeting, not only those
gentlemen but others representing
every kind of business and profession
al interests in the City of Washing
ton but Maryland as well should ap-
pear before it and urge the adoption
Of route that will touch the Nation
al Capitol because it is fitting from
every standpoint that the highway
should have its beginning or ending
in the Capitol Of the Nation. The
citizens Of Maryland should be in
terested Aot alone from a sentiment
tai and patriotic standpoint but from
a business end. A highway extend
ing from Washington, via. Gettys-
burg, via. Philadelphia to New York
would not only touch Baltimore but
would mean much towards the all
vancement and up5uildisg Of our
State, and add to its land values.
The great good that it would do to
Maryland in many ways cannot be
now tod or practically shown butthe
people who know something of what
such a highway would mean can best
appreciate it and others should rely
upon their Judgment and join in this
movement.

Tns ncpoNouon INSTITUTE.

The McDonough Institute began
last night its final exercises for the
past year with the closing OF the
elementary department. This marks
the closing Of the 18th year Of its
existence as an educational institu.
ton in this county. The work it has
done and the good accomplished is
best shown by the progress made by
its former students who have already
left its wal and gone forth to fight
life's baltle. Some are holding re-
sponsible positions with large bust
ness houses, others have become ex-
cellent farmers while others have
become professional men and many
of the young ladies have taken up
teaosing in which work they have
made a decided success.
We believe its value as an edusa-
tional institution to our county can
not be measured in any degree, but
while S, believing we feel that
there are many in the county
W h 0 do not appreciate b e
good work it has accomplished,
hence, our purpose in this issue is
not only to advocate its worth as an
educational institution within the
easy grasp Of our people because Of
its low tuition, but to urge all fathers
and mothers in the county to at
tend all Of the closing exercises and
see for themselves both what has
been accomplished by the teachers
and the students at the school during
the past year.
We believe that the closing exer-
cises with all the exhibitions of the
work done by the students will and
does tsnd much toward the demon
stration Of what the school means to
our county and therefore urge every
father and mother to witness the
final exercises to be held this week.

SERIOUS PEST OF ORCHARDS
Injury Caused by Brown Tail Moth
Cannot Be Estimated In Terms
Of Dollars and Cents.
(By T. SIMONS.)

10y Il. SlMONOJ
The brown tail moth is one of the
Oldest caterpillar pests of Europe and
1t is very strange that the nests OF
this insect were not imported into this
country earlier than they really were.
This European pest was first OBJ
served in the United States in Massa-
chusetts In the early nineties, having
been brought In on some roses. From
its introduction to 1898, no direct eff
fort was made to retard its spread, al
though the state legislature had passed
law requiring local authorities to
suppress the insect In 1898 an ap-
preparation Of $4,000 was made for
the suppression of the brown tail
moth. From 1900 to 1904 no con-
certed effort through state funds was
moths In Massachusetts. Individual
effort by local towns and private par
ties met with only partial success.
During this interval these two pests
gained tremendous Roadway and 1t
was necessary for the state to appro-
pirate in 1905, $4,000 per annum to
aid in the control Of these insects.
The following year, $225,00O was ap-
propriated, and in 1909 this was in
creased to 100000 by the United
States government and the states OF
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut Maine and Rhode Island for
work in the suppression Of these

Excellent Plan With Strawberry Plant
to Mulch Along In December With
Stable Manure.

II is hardly possible to use too much
manure In the small fruit garden. Fer
tilizing Is the basis of all great CROPS
of berries. After strawberries are
started, very good way to manure is
to mulch in December with stable lit
ter, raking off the coarser material in
spring. What is left will have a tell
ing effect upon the coming crop.
Unless this has been done, do not at
tempt to apply manure. But you may
haul 1t in to the raspberry and currant
rows, also the gooseberries and black
berries. Apply 1t literally. This is no
place to economic. Throw 1t on six
inches deep all about the bushes, and
II you can command enough labor to
dig II into the soil, all the better. IL
YOU have no time for this, the work Ia
still very profitable. Rains will carry
the nourishing elements down to tho
roots, and the roughage left will be .
desirable mulch.
