CONFEDERATE
MEMORIAL DAY.

The members of r. f. Lee Camp
of Confederate Veterans, most of
whom are Alexandrians, have for
many years celebrated the. 24th day
of May as Confederate Memorial
Day, as upon that day in the year
1861 they left their homes at all
early hour to cast their lot with the
people of The south. While their
exodus was sudden, it was not in the
nature of rude awakening, as they
were on the alert and prepared to
leave when the scntries announced
that the federal army was moving
upon the city.
While many persons, especially the
younger generation. participate i'll
one way or another in these services
the main features are conducted by
R. E. Lee Camp, a committee OF
which organization visits the bivouac
Of the dead early in the day and place
flowers upon tie graves of deceased
comrades, and towards its close the
entire organization gather in their
home on upper Prince street and
march to the intersection Of Prince
and Washington streets. where the
most interesting and impressive OF
the exercises arc conducted.
Later the camp wcnds its way to
Christ Church yard where a salute is
fired over the remains of a number
of former Confederatcs which rest
in that enclosure.
These exercises have been conduct
ed under the shadow of the COME
derate Monument at Prince and Wash
ington streets without intcrmlSslon
every twcnty-fourth day of May dur
ing the, past twenty six years. Men
of national prominence, many OF
whom wore the gray, have delivered
eloquent orations on these occasions,
and although it would seem but little
can be said Of an original nature con-
corning the principles for which the
south contcnded, OH each occasion
those who gather feel that it is good
for them to have been th2rc. 1t will
be so this evening, when Rev. j. w.
Duffcy, D. D., delivers the address.
OF course the younger generation
cannot be expected to manifest the en-
thusiaSm of those who witnessed or
passed through the scenes from 1861
to 1865, although the recognizing OF
them always sends honest pride into
the souls Of those who arc the OIL
springs of Confederate soldiers.
Over half & century has elapsed
since the survivors Of the Alcxan-
dria companies turned their faces
toward their old home after four
wears of war. Their ranks arc now
necessarily thin,. The larnc majority
have answered the last GILL, but those
who are still in the land of the liv-
ing are always happy to respond to
the two main calls Of the year-the
10Th day of January Robert L. Lees
birthday and the Gath Of May, the
anniversary of their departure from
their homes.

ing as September Morns" in the mill
pond at Graft, Pa, yesterday. Miss
Mae Lesser, Is, one Of the fair ones,
screamed and danced hornpipc as
she splashcd in The shallow water.
Some of the girls feared it was a
man, but Miss Lesser finally managed
to wade out screaming in pain, and
it was found that a big swapping tur-
tic had grip on one OF her dainty
pink toes. The other girls feared
to act, and they did not dare to call
a man. While they were in the
depths Of their dilemma the astonish-
ed trcspasser let go and wiggled back
to The pond. Miss Lecser's toe is
painfully bruised, but not half so
much as her feelings.

THE SHEEP RAISING PROBLEM

We have more than once expressed
our resentment at the state of things
that permits worthless dogs TO haLui-
cap poultry raising and to make the
sheep industry almost Impossible.
Botn OF these lines should be very
profitable to people located so we'll for
marketing as are the people of this
section. Ihe only thing against these
lines of industry is the apparent in
ability to secure a law, or at least the
administration of law, that will pro-
tect them from the trespass and de-
vastation of dogs. We have believed
the subject one of sufficient industrial
importance to call for serious and con-
tinued agitation. In the line of such
agitation we herewith quote a recent
editorial of the Baltimore Sun, which
emphasizes the position we have taken
for several years. The Sun says.
"A dispatch to The Sun from Cum
berland tells of proposition to revive
sheep-raising in Allegany and Garrett
counties in this State. In past years
the mountain mutton in Garrett
county was famous for its excellence.
The present high price of meat and of
wool offers every inducement to en-
courage this industry. There is no
prospect that meat will be much
cheaper than it now is. as the demand
by the increasing population is grow
ing faster than the supply. Therefore
it is wise policy for farmers to pro-
duce all the meat they can. Rugged
hillsides which are not profitable to
farm often afford good pasturage for
sheep, and thus they can be raised at
small expense. One of the obstacles
in the way of sheep-raising in the past
has been the predatory dogs. One
worthless dog can destroy flock in
single night. But if any large num-
Der of persons should engage in the
industry, they could exercise sufficient
political influence to command protec-
ton. In Virginia, we understand, some
of the counties impose a dog tax. the
money collected from it being held in
fund to reimburse those who have
lost their tlocks by dogs. There are
various ways by which focks can be
protected whenever the sheep owners
can command more votes than the dog
owners. 1t is to be hoped that the en-
terprising people of the mountain
counties will persist in the plan for
sheep-raising and so increase the sup
ply of meat and wool"

Law For Roadside Trees Sustained

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
on April 8 of the current year affirm
ed the right of the State Board of
Forestry to protect, plant and super
wise the care of trees along the public
highways of the State. This right
had been contested by certain individ-
uals and corporations, and an attempt
made through the lower court to prove
its unconstitutionaltiy.
The law as passed by the General
Assembly of 1914. empowers the
Maryland Board of Forestry to plant
trees along the roadsides; make plans
of planting and estimates of the cost
for any person or organization who
may apply; superintend the actual
carrying out of such plans for road.
side planting through State Forest
officers or local Forest Wardens; fur
niSh available trees at cost prices
from the State Forest Nursery es-
tablished for the purpose; and protect
roadside trees already planted from
misuse, unwarranted removal, multi
alton. promiscuous trimming or any
other injury, except where deemed
eXpedient or necessary and then only
by permit of the Board. In addition
to its foregoing provisions the same
Act prohibits as illegal the posting of
signs and advertising matter on trees,
fences, poles, posts or any other struc-
ture within any public right of-way,
or on the property of another without
his written consent.
