Warning Against Use OF Second
Hand Potato Sacks.

The Department of Agriculture has
| issued a special caution to all American
potato growers against the use of any
secondhand British or European potato
sacks unless such sacks have been thor
oughly sterilized since they had contained
or come into contact with foreign potatoes
The reason for this is that recent in.
spections have furnished ample evidence
of the presence Of number of the most
serious potato diseases among impOrtations
of that staple from Europe. These include
the late blight disease, silver scurf, both
dry and soft rOts. common scab, and the
pOwdery scab.
The germs of these Diseases the spe-
cialsts find, may be and undoubtedly are
carried in the sacks in which potatoes have
been imported from Europe. The sacks,
therefore, provide source of infection to
American grown potatoes packed into them.
1t appears that there is considerable
trade in such secondhand foreign potato
sacks between dealers located chiefly at
the Atlantic ports of entry to the United
States, and especially In New York, and
potato growers of the Eastern States.
In some instances, entire shipments from
the great potato districts Of Maine to New
York city have been made in foreign,
secondhand sacks.
Even though none Of the imported pota =
toes themselves were used for seed pur-
poses. which is not the case, these diseases
would none the less surely, but more in
sidiously. be introduced and spread through
this traffic in secondhand potato sacks as
now conducted.
Farmers should require dealers to guar
antee that the sacks have been sterilized
Purchasers Of seed potatoes should specify
that the seed came in new sacks or sterl-
lied secondhand sacks. Dealers can ster-
ilize these sacks before offering them for
sale by placing the empty sacks in tight
containers in which live steam should be
injected for about an hour. Purchasers Of
secondhand sacks can protect themselves
by following the same procedure or by
boiling them for two or three hours in any
available vessel. Unless these precautions
are taken the use Of new sacks exclusively
is recommended.

Three Men Are Injured When Auto
Hits Truck.

With his car turned into a temporary
ambulance and running as fast as the law
allows, Motorman J. L. Rice. of the Wash
ington and Tennallytown line. raced with
death in carrying two badly injured men
to the Georgetown University Hospital on
last Friday night. The men, who had been
hurt in an automobile accident on the
Georgetown pike, near Montrose, this coun-
ty. were Fred Stark, 400 L street north
west. and Vincent Ullmer, 23 years of age,
of 24l5 North Capitol street, Washington
city. A third injured man gave his name
as A. C. Holiday, 1906 First street north
west. He was removed to the hospital in
an automobile.
The men were injured when their auto
mobile crashed into an auto truck owned
by Mr.. George F. Linthicum, of Travilah.
this county. The truck was standing on
the side of the road at the time of the ac-
cident, having become stalled when the
gasoline gave out.
The trolley car for Washington was due
about the time and as soon sit appeared
the men were put on board.
Mr.. Linthicum, the owner of the motor
truck. had been running the ponderous
machine to his home when the gasoline
ran out. He left the truck standing at the
side of the road in charge of another man
and with lights burning on both ends while
he came to Rockville for more gasoline
Mr., Linthicum's truck was but little
damaged. bearing small scar on the left
rear corner of the body, made in the i'm
pact. The other machine was badly dam
aged, the repair Of which will cost, it is
said. at least $500.
1t was reported at Georgetown University
Hospital that Stark is in serious cond-
ton, and will probably die, and that Holli-
days injuries, while painful and serious,
are not fatal.

DR.. T. M. Hare Accepts.

DR., Thomas M. Hare, the man who di-
rected the successful fight for prohibition
in West Virginia, last Monday accepted the
position of superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Maryland, filling the va
cancy caused by the resignation of Viii
liam H. Anderson. who has become the
superintendent of the New York League
1t is hoped to have him in Baltimore to
be introduced to the temperance forces of
the State at the meeting that will be held
by the league for men at the lyric on Sun
day afternoon, January rs. This is the
great annual event of the league and it is
thought that there can be no more fitting
occasion for the introduction of Dr. Hare
than this.
1t is not thought that he will be able to
do much toward furthering the fight of the
league for straight prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution at this session of
the Legislature, but will be able to get
pretty well acquainted with the members of
both houses and pave the way for an effec-
tive campaign in its interest in the next
two years. While the agents of the league
expect that the amendment will come to
vote at the present session, they have
very little hope that it will pass at this
time, although they will not admit that
their hope in this direction is slight.
Methods radically different from those
followed by Mr.. Anderson are expected
from DIR. Hare. He is an entirely different
type of man and has, it is said, the faculty
of carrying on an aggressive campaign
without arousine personal antagonisms. In
West Virginia he has many strong friends
among the very men he put out of bust
ness.
He is native of Ohio is about so years
old and is a member Of one of the Ohio con-
ferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Before he became minister he was law
yer and, it is said, good one.
He won his fight in West Virginia by
organization, and there was not a pre-
cinct in that State that did not have
corps of loyal temperance workers that
could be thrown into the fight at an hours
notice.

Ban On Grade Crossings.

Chairman Philip D. Laird has made pull
lie the report of the Public Service Commits
sion for 1918.
OF interest in this connection is an an
nouncement to the effect that bill ha
been prepared looking toward the elimi
nation of grade crossings, which will b
presented to the Legislature for its con
sideration.
The number of persons killed on rail
roads and other utilities under the com
missions jurisdiction during the year wa
209. Of these 1855 were killed on steam
railroads. Electric railways killed SO
Steam railroads injured during the yea
902 employees and 244 of the public, Elec'
trio railways injured l,424 employees anC
GAS of the public. Other utilities re.
ported SO injuries to the public and SOC
to employees.
Upon the subject of the elimination Of
grade crossings the report says that what
is needed is definite provision in the
law under which the construction of such
crossings in the future can be prevented
or regulated and workable scheme for
the elimination of those now in existence
1t then goes on to say that the present
conditions have been brought about very
largely by the public in ways over which
the railroads had no control and adds that
it might be nothing more than just for
the State to bear part of the expense of
this work.
One of the amendments proposed by the
commission provides that in addition to
its authority over extensions by utilities
companies to their services it also be given
express jurisdiction in cases where it is
proposed to abandon or discontinue an
existence service.
The Legislature is also asked to set apart
a special appropriation to be used, under
the direction of the Governor, in making
special investigations in cases where, to
make the investigation as full as 1t should
be, the cost would be prohbitive If 1t had
to be paid out of the commissions regular
appropriation.
During the year the commission author
lied. stock issues to the amount of $685.
400 and bond issues to the amount of
$50, 382,979.51.
There are at present 204 corporations
under the Jurisdiction of the commission,
having combined capitalization of ST.
488, 447, 399.
According to the report, 3l9 cases were
entered upon the commissions docket dur
ing the year. Formal hearings were held
on 1875 days and testimony was taken in
1874 cases.
Including those brought forward from the
preceding year, $3.50 cases were disposed
of by the commission in 1913. In At ex-
tended formal opinions were filed. Some
required long and difficult investigations.
After mentioning the large expense en-
tailed by the investigation of the gas case
and the demand upon its appropriation to
meet the cost Of pending investigation of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company and the United Railways and
Electric Company, the report calls atten-
ton to the embarrassment caused by lack
of funds.
The report states that during the year
the commission tested 3l,115 gas and 10, 143
electric meters.

Over 1000 Taxed On Incomes.

Between 1000 and 1900 people of Fred
erick county stand liable for income taxes,
according to a well-known source. 1t is
stated that the proportion in Washington
county will run about the same, and the
indications are that the same will hold
true Of Allegany county. Garrett county
will not prove to have so great number
and the same will probably be true Of
Carroll and Howard counties. Montgomery
county where a large number of wealthy
persons reside, is expected to have an I'M
usual number Of persons subject to the tax
Deputy Collectors Of Internal Revenue
tax throughout the country have been in
structed TO make list Of persons. whom
they consider have incomes Of more than
$4,000 or $4,000 per year and forward
these to headquarters. In many counties
the assessment books have been searched
and the names secured and forwarded.
The collection Of the tax will date from
March 1. 1913, and is payable after Janu-
airy Of this year The authority for the
imposition OF the tax is under constitu-
tional amendment. which has been passed
and ratified by the individual States.
For the year Of 1913. an unmarried per-
son with an income over $500 must pay
tax Of one per cent. on the amount Of
his income over this amount. In the case
Of married men and women. the income Of
the husband and wife jointly must 90 ovel
$333333 for 1918. For the years follow
ing the exemptions will be $4,000 for sin
gle persons and $4,000 for husband ant
wife, unless they should be living apart
and then the exemption allowed each vii
] be $4,000 or q total Of $4,000.

 ENJOYABLE STRETCHING TRIP

Mrs. Montgomery Davis, the artist, has just returned from a two weeks painting and sketching trip on the Cor della D. around Admiralty island. She says the scenery was beautiful all the way and the trip very enjoyable. She brought twenty-four sketches back with her.
 Our first stop was at Sumdum," said Mrs. Davis, where two days were spent at Yorks. Fox island, and then Chapin bay came next. Three days were spent at the last named place on account of stormy weather. Then came Killisnoo and Funter bay.
 We witnessed some exquisite sun sets. and the fishing was excellent. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed, though the weather was cold a good deal of the time"
 Mrs. Davis was accompanied on the trip by her daughter and two sons.
