vote Il to- a. Chairman Adamson had
ready draft &C the report when the
committee met.
Rep. Knowland of California, whe
led the opposition in the committee,
was given three days to file minority
report, and Chairman Adamson was
authorized to urge the rules commit
tee special rule to rush the bill
through the House. Rep. Adamson will
take charge of the situation in the
House as Majority Leader Underwood
for the first time during the admins
tration, finds himself on the anti-ad-
mn!stration side. The leaders of the
repeal forces declared today, however,
they were assured of a substantial
majority to carry out the Presidents
will. In it's report today the commit
tee which provided for uniform tolls
in the canal act as originally reported,
reiterated its position.
The Report.
I'VE deem it proper now," said the
report, "to consider the international
situation and other obligations and
policy in relation thereto. True there
has been as yet no friction nor even
strained relations with foreign govern
ments, but we are advised that the
opposite party to the principal treaty
under which the canal was construct
ed fails to approve our action in pro-
viding for the exemption or to concur
in our construction of the treaty. 9th
er maritime nations hold the same dis
senting opinion and in the whole fam
lily of nations We stand alone in our
contentious. In such a situation, 1t is
not always necessary or wise to urge
our contention even though convinced
of our abstract right. We are not dis
turbed by the taunt made for a pur-
pose that repeal would be trucking
and yielding to foreign demands. A
similar taunt could be lodged against
any man or nation honorable enough
to promote friendly relations by ac-
cording respectful consideration to
views of the opposite party"
After a discussion of the provisions
of the Hay Pauncefote treaty and the
declaration that the coastwise trade of
the United States does not need the
assistance of free tolls, the committee
report said:
THE foreign governments objection
to our construction Of the treaty can
find a hundred points in the worlds
commerce to retaliate and discrimin-
ate, where we may blunder into us
ing one. Our resources, genius and
geographical position equip us to defy
the world to outstrip us on fair and
equal terms. AS a nation we cannot
afford to rest under the imputation
whether just or unjust of disregard
ing our plighted honor, nor should we
hold a debatable position far enough
to arouse friction, resentment or re-
taliation. 1t is folly to refuse to do
right because a foreign nation. party
to a treaty, complains that our course
is wrong. We might in any kind of a
contest with other nations win by
sheer strength and skill and in win
ming we might save all except honor
Far better to abolish the canal itself
than even to permit our national hon
or to remain in question"

Thomas Carver Pleads That The
Boy Be Kept on Farm

Boston, March 6.-The promotion of
agricultural efficiency was the main
theme discussed at the annual meet
ing of the New England Federation
for Rural Progress today. One hundred
and thirty organizations and agencies
We're represented. DR.. Joseph l.. Hills,
dean OF the College Of Agriculture of
the University of Vermont, Is pres
ident of the Federation.
The specific topics considered in
clude the work of state agricultural
colleges and experiment stations,
shortage of farm laborers, the turning
of immigrants toward the country and
methods of marketing farm products
Speaking for the National Grange, l..
II. Healey, secretary of the Connecti-
cut board of agriculture, said that the
Grange has great educational influ-
encc in securing laws for better con-
ditions in milk production, in protec-
tion of birds and other ways.
B. T. Hartwell, director of the
Rhode island experiment s,ation,
Kingston, r. l., said that investiga-
tional work could not be expected to
have n great direct effect on rural
progress but it did have great indi-
rect effect and in the end demonstrate
ed it's value.
More than $1,000 persons in New Eng
land were advised as to farm methods
by circulars sent out by agricultural col
leges last year. according to Leon s. Mer'
rill, director of the extension service Of
the University of Maine.
More than 100 meetings were held, at
tended by more than 10000 people. The
farm demonstration work in Maine has
been carried on by IS people who hat
gone directly to the farms. This was one
of the most valuable services that could
be rendered
Ebert S. Brigham.
Ebert S. Brigham, commissioner of ag
riculture of ST. Adams. VT. told of tbs
work of boards and commissions of agri
culture in the last year. Maine has plac
ed the enforcement of the pure food Law
under its board: New Hampshire has de
veloped its summer board business; Mass
achusetts has developed its dairy bureau
Rhode Island has provided for extermi
mating the gypsy moth; Vermont has es
tabiished a bureau of farm labor to sup
ply help to the farmers when labor il
most needed.
Thomas NJ. Carver.
Thomas y. Carver, director of the Rura
Organization Service of the department
of agriculture, said that one cause fol
the high cost of living was the tendenc,
of the country boy to leave the farm fol
the prospects offered in the cities.
This disadvantage" he said, cannot
be overcome by unloading the surplus
population of the cities on the land. The
salvation of the nation lies in keeping
the rural youth on the farm
AS means to this end, the speaker men
toned intelligent cooperation among
farmers, betterment of living conditions
in rural districts and proper education
along agricultural lines.

Accident on Street.

Last Saturday evening an accident oc-
Cured on Church street. There were a
number of teams hitched along the street
and several buggies were occupying about
half the roadway. Mr.. Peter N. Ham
maker came along in his auto and by do
ing some fancy driving was succeeding
in making his way through the buggies.
AS told to US, he was going by one of
these when the horse backed, got the
buggy on lock and partially upset it,,
throwing the owner, Mr.. George Baker,
out. Some persons thought Mr.. Ham
maker caught the buggy with his auto,
but no marks are on the machine that
show that it struck the buggy. Mr.
Baker was not injured, neither was the
buggy.

ARBOR DAY.
Its Observance In Maryland
Schools.

Arbor Day was first observed in this
country by the school children of west
ern state more than forty years, ago.
From small beginning in treeless
state the idea spread, until now it is a
day regularly set apart each spring not
alone in nearly all of the States, but in
many foreign countries as we'll.
The Governor has designated Friday,
April ID, as Arbor Day in Maryland, and
much good can be accomplished in the
right direction, and a valuable lesson
conveyed to the children in the public
schools, where it is properly observed.
The State Board of Forestry recon-
mends the planting of useful trees on
that day. The shade and protection af-
forded by a well-placed trees or belt of
trees adds much to the attractiveness of
the school yard, and comfort in all sea-
sons to the school itself. Trees planted
on that day should not be forgotten when
the exercises are over, and allowed to
die through neglect. for given careful
attention they serve as object lessons in
usefulness, and the children will watch
their growth from year to year with in
terest and satisfaction.
But Arbor Day in Maryland is not
alone day for tree planting, important
as that is in itself. 1t is a day when
children should be made better acquaint-
ed with our native trees and their use to
US, not alone the trees which shade and
ornament the city streets and country
highways, but the forest trees and the
forest itself. The great Importance as a
regulator and conserver of stream flow,
modifier of climate, and the source of
industries which are worth millions of
dollars to the State each year, not alone
in valuable products, but in the employ
ment they give to thousands of her men
and women. Children will enjoy hearing
these things, and in later years will look
with pride on school yards improved and
beautilied by them in their observance of
Arbor Day.

State Tax Rate Announced.

The State Tax rate will be 32a cents
for 1915 and Sc 1924 cents for 1916, an
increase of IA cents for 1915 and 5 1924
for 1916 over the present rate of ri cents
Besides the large new loans for roads
and for various other purposes there are
many appropriations included for main
.enance for institutions and for new
buildings. The big jump in the tax rate
between 1915 and 1916 is caused by the
plan to cancel large amount of State
securities now held in the sinking fund
of the State.

Great State Temperance
Convention May IA.

With prohibition advance in Eu-
rope the sensation of the hour: with
8 states of this Union under statutory
prohibition: with seventeen in which
500 or more of the population is un-
der no license; with thirteen in which
25% is under no license; with only
nine license states in the entire union:
with baseball men, railroad and 9TH
er industrial corporations forbidding
absolutely the drinkingo of intoxicants
by their employees; with powerful
newspapers declaring for prohibition,
with great trade organizations asking
for national prohibition, with brew
cries forced out of business by lack of
patronage, and with the liquor lraf-
fic itself recognizing the imminence
of its doom, it is not difficult to in
terpret the signs of the times as mean
ing the quick overthrow of the legal
lied traffic in strong drink through
out the country.
In tune with the purpose of the age,
and in harmony with the program
for national prohibition the temper
ance forces of Maryland will unite in
a great state wide Prohibition Con-
vention to be held in the city of Bal

This convention is called for the pur-
pose of discussing, formulating and
setting in motion forces which will
secure state wide prohibition for Ma
