For ECONOMY Program.

The legislative committee of the Farm
9rs' Association, Chairman E. Austin
Baugman,' of the Democratic County
Committee, and members OF the State
Committee. the County Commissioners
and local Delegates to the Legislature
met at the Courthouse January II and
agreed in the main upon series of econ
omy measures which it is expected will
bring about a sweeping reform in the
management of county affairs
The proposed bills were referred back
to the association and unanimously adopt
ed. 1t was agreed that an attorney. rep
resenting the county committee and the
association, should draft the bills and that
the measures will then be handed over TO
the local Delegates to introduce in the
Legislature.
The action of the meeting is regarded
as one of the most important steps ever
taken in this county in the interest of re-
form legislation and is the elimination OF
a plan to economize in public affairs
which has been discussed in a general
way for MANY wears. The new measures
provide for:
The consolidation OF the County Treas
urer and Clerk to the Board Of County
Commissioners under one official TO be
paid salary of S. 600 a year.
The abolishing of the present system OF
road supervisors and the appointment OF
a road engineer by the County Commits
sioners and the election of one supervisor
in each election district.
The appointment of an auditing com
mission by the court which shall go over
the accounts Of the County Treasurer and
County Commissioners and publish in
pamphlet form the annual receipts and
expenditures Of both.
The adjustment of the Board of Char
tiles and Corrections and placing the SUI
pervision of Montevue Hospital, the
county insane asylum, and the jail under
the direction of the County Commission
erS.
The payment Of the floating debt Of the
county bv bond issue so as to put the
county upon cash basis
A tentative law which will be further
discussed provides for the adjustment Of
the Orphans Court and the election OF
one probate Judge. Three judges now
constitute this court. The proposed bill
will contain provision calling for con-
stitutIonal amendment.
A bill to reduce the board OF County
Commissioners from five to three mem
bers is slated for later action. This move
will be opposed by the County Commits
sioners. 1t was on the original program
outlined by the farmers, but not brought
up. The Farmers Association will also
back bill providing for an agricultural
expert demonstrators in this county.

Liquor Men Frame New State
License

The Liquor men OF Maryland as rep
resented by the Maryland Liquor Deal
ers' Association, have brought forward
a new liquor bill for the State, which il
is understood will be introduced in the
early part of the coming week The bill
provides that there shall be only one
saloon TO each 500 OF population of the
municipality, and no more, although if
at present there are more saloons than
this number in any locality, the number
shall not be decreased in that locality.
The twentieth census OF the United
States is to be used to determine the
number of persons in any community.
A draft of the bill has not vet been
published, but an attorney, at Baltimore,
was IN Hagerstown a few days ago, and
at a conference OF the liquor men there
submitted a draft of the proposed bill
1t is stated that the liquor interests OF the
State feel that they have sufficient votes
now in the Maryland Legislature to pass
the proposed bill and that it will here
after be the law OF the State, putting all
sections uuder its provisions.
Inquiry about Frederick revealed that
no news of the bill had been received in
this city by the liquor men, and that no
representative Of the Maryland Liquor
Dealers's Association had been received
here

This was for the purpose OF attempt

the latter was found on his premises
McCarty, the administrator, Is suing
on the grounds that Lochhead's &C
ton has deprived Steidley's family OF
their support, and for this reason he
is claiming damages.
The defense yesterday endeavored
to show that Stsidley had attempted
to make an attack on Lochhead. The
defendant was called back to the
stand and asked whether or not
Steidley had attacked him. The at
torneys for the plaintiff objected on
the ground that Lochhead was moi
competent to testify as to any trans
action with Steidley, now dead. The
court sustained the objection, although
the defense was permitted to make
an offer Of the matter 1t intended to
prove by the witness.

Love, said DR.. Hirschfield Is one of
the most difficult subjects science has
undertaken to study. No two persons
are affected the same or have the
same experience and impression.
What made it still more difficult was
the fact that few persons tell the
truth about their love affairs.
Happy love, says the scientist, has
a stimulating effect upon the brain
and nerves. 1t enlarges life's horizon.
Unhappy love has very depressing
