On Wednesday last the State Road
Commission received from Treasurer
Murray Vandiver check in the APP
proximate amount of 50, 800, 600, it
being the result of the sale of per cent
bonds to New York Syndicate, which
paid 1918 for them. This money has
been carried in State repositories as
special deposit, but now will be distrib-
uted to the various financial institutions
in Baltimore City and the state, speci-
fed by Governor Goldsborough.
In this connection we might say that
the Comptroller's report for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1914, shows
that Frederick county paid into the
Treasury of the State for that period of
time, through Mr. Frederick W. era.
mer, direct taxes in the amount of $751;
552.53. This does not include taxes
on corporations, collateral taxes, and
various other forms of trade and licen
SEES, which go direct into the State Treas
ury, thus making Frederick county one
OF the largest contributors to the State
funds. In direct taxation, after Balti
more City and Baltimore county, it
ranks next to Washington county in the
amount paid, making it thereby the
fourth in the State in the payment of d.
rect taxation on real and personal prop
erty.
We know that the Governor atten-
ton has been called to the gross neglect
of Frederick county in the matter of de
posts of this fund in the past, and would
humbly suggest to him that there are
many reasons outside of the one men
toned above, why he should be liberal
in his division of the deposits to some of
our many excellent financial institutions
in the city and county. From politi
cal, if for no other reason, Frederick
City and County deserves much consid-
Grafton at the hands of Governor Colds
borough, and he will close his admins
tration with at least one very good per-
Torrance by following these suggestions.

Mr.. Francis J. Newman, of this city,
member of the well-known insurance
firm of Halter 4 Newman, announces in
this weeks CITIZEN officially his candi
dacy for the position of Register of Wills.
Mr.. Newman for sometime has been on
a still hunt along this line, and feels that
a public announcement to the Democrats
of Frederick county would be well-timed
now. He is son of Jacob M. Newman
member of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee for Frederick county, at
one time State Senator, and long directly
associated with Democratic political per-
sonages and interests in this county.
Young Newman was associated in the
coal business with his father for many
years, but sometime ago branched out for
himself with Mr.. Harry Haller in the
insurance field, in which they have made
pronounced success. Mr.. Newman is
one Of the sturdy young Democrats Of
Frederick county, is well known in this
city, and in every district in the county,
and he has reason to hope for large
turn out in his behalf on the day of the
primaries.

HAS SUBSTITUTE FOR POTASH.
Lime Heated With Chlorine To Mini
miZe Lack of Potash.

At the closing session of the Nation
al Lime Manufacturers Association,
at Washington, last Friday, John J.
Porter, of Hagerstown, first vice-pres-
ident of the Security Cement and Lime
Company, read paper in which he
declared he had found substitute for
potash. Potash is an essential to
plant growth. The European war has
cut off the supply. The substitute
which Mr.. Porter has hit upon is lime
treated with chlorine, and it is ex-
pected to minimize the lack of potash.
of which latter product the country
imports 100000 worth a year. He
proposes to prepare lime and treat
the soil with it in way to liberate
properties necessary for plant growth.
The National association before
which the paper was read, endorsed
the proposition and appropriated $1S,-
900 to give publicity to the methods
for the benefit of the farmers.

Philadelphia, Feb. 10--A remarkable
case of obesity is under observation
by physicians at the University Hos
pital. The patient is John Smith, II
years old, of Scranton, Pa, who
weighs 210 pounds, and it is said has
been steadily putting on flesh at the
rate of obout half q pound daily for
some time.
Physicians are very much interested
in the extraordinary case, and it is
suspected that an affection of one of
iuctless glands controlling nutrition,
may be the cause of the phenomena.

Medical Examination of Childra,
Endorsed.

The medical examination of scboo,
children of the county, which tSa
school commissioners recently decid
ed to conduct in Frederick, was an
dorsed Wednesday afternoon at tbo
regular meeting of the Frederior
County Medical Society, held in tba
Frederick Y. M. c. A. While the pbv
sicians of the city and the county bayo
always been more or less Favorable ~
this move ON the part of the school
authorities, no official action was tai
en- until yesterday. 1t is believed tba.
this examination will cut disease ~
the schools of the city and the conntr
to a minimum.
In deciding to make a medical tao
of school children the school author;
ties consulted several members Of tbo
society. Only recently the school tas

officials of the Sunday schools of tbo
city held conference in the Girls,
High School building relative to tbo
elimination of disease not only from
the schools but from the religious in
situations OF the city.

ing, county health officer, read nan.
er on How communicable diseases
may be transmitted" THE cop,mon
diseases to which man is suscepfibla
are derived from two sources. man
himself and the lower animals sold
DR.. Browning. "By far the greoto,
number of diseases in epidemic form
have their source from man himself
and do not occur in the lower animals
in their natural state, although scme
animal may become inoculated ex-
perimentally.
There are four recognized routes
by which infection may be transmit.
ted, contact, indirect contact. carriers
and mis-cases." DR.. Browning ey.
planned that diphtheria, scarlet fever
whooping-cough, tuberculosis, meas.
les, influenza, common colds are
among the diseases secured by con.
tact.
Indirect contact infection comes
from person through water, soil, food
air and insect.
"The common house fly is not bit.
ing insect. 1t carries disease by legs
wings or body and by smearing the
surface of food"
DR.. Browning explained that the
danger from the fly could be practi-
cally eliminated by destroying the
breeding places, the horse stables and
filthy places.
DR.. w. M. Smith reported case
of unusual interest to the society," The
meeting was presided over by the

peace, John Hays Hammond, of Wash

Indiana legislature here today.
Publicity is what is needed in in

admission that the lineup of powers
was far different from what she ex-
pected."
DR.. Hill said ornaments were no in

adjustment of an international court
for judicial settlement, with an inter

THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION
AND THE DECREASING REV
ENUE.

There is widespread business depres-
sion in this country. We may under
rate it or deny it as we will, but the fact
remains that there are millions of people
out of work and they are being supported
by public charity. 1t may be well not
to magnify the extent of it and thereby
make it appear worse than it is, but the
part Of wisdom is to meet the conditions
by looking at it as it is, and provide
remedies to meet the condition that con
fronts us. 1t is not theory but con
dltlon, and we must meet it. The fact
is all business is depressed. We have in
the last two years adopted a new tariff
system for the necessary relief of the
people, as it had become absolutely nee
essary to change our Tariff laws for the
welfare Of the people who were paying
the vast expense of the old high protec-
tive system. AT the same time the high
tariff system was limiting and destroying
our foreign importations. Foreign coun-
tries were finding other markets in which
to sell their goods because our tariff laws
preventing their dealing with us. Our
system was to sell all and buy but
little in exchange. That system had
lost us even the trade of our neighbors of
South America, which would have gladly
and naturally sought our markets. The
necessity for a change in our policy was
pointed out by President Mckinley in
his last speech the day he was shot. He
said: "The time had come when we
could no longer sell all and buy none. )"
And although we have lowered the Tar.
if foreign imports have fallen off nearly
one-half in the last year, which is con-
elusive evidence that we have lost the
markets. Our customers have been
driven to seek other markets. We are
now struggling to get the South Amer
lean trade. We trust we shall get it.
Then we have changed the banking
system and adopted much wiser and
better system Of banking and currency
and system which will bring great re-
lief and benefit to all the people. In
addition to this the great war in Europe
has greatly depressed and disturbed all
business. Business is timid and now il
is almost at standstill. People don't
know what to do and hence do little or
nothing. The banks are full of money.
Vast millions are being piled up in the
banks and monetary institutions all over
the nation which cannot be put in circula.
ton because business people are not do
ing business and do not want the money.
Our exports have fallen off nearly one
half in the last year and we have no
ships to carry our goods to market We
have no merchant marine if we had the
the markets. So we must meet two alb
solutely necessary conditions. We must
enlarge our markets and we must have

Majority of Farmers Want No
Demonstration.

The Frederick County Farmers Asso-
citation decided by "a very large majority
against having Farm Demonstrator at
meeting held on Saturday afternoon
last at the Y. M. c. A building in this
city. The County Commissioners by
arrangement were present to talk the
matter over, and to be guided by the
vote of the farmers as to their wishes
whether or not they should appropriate
the money to pay the salary of the Dem
onstrator for the next year. Whether
or not it was the personality or ability of
the Demonstration that was in question,
or whether or not the farmers them
selves wanted any demonstrated for this
section, was rather obscured by the ar
guments pro and con, and the great ex-
element that prevailed during the ses-
sion. The actual vote was 176 against.
and 20 for the demonstration.
A great many objections were made,
and many acrimonious controversies pre-
cipitated. Prof. Schmitz of the Agri-
cultural Department was present, and
endeavored to explain what the great
work was the government in connection
with the Agricultural Department was
doing foa the agriculturists Of the state,
but somehow his words did not seem to
have very much effect. In fact, there
was sentiment against having a dem
onstrator, and it could not be tempered
by any argument or explanation. When
it can be definitely learned just what
caused this whelming vote, THE
CITIZEN will have some comments to
make in the premises.
