House Increases Pay OF Rural
Carriers.
For THOSE SERVING 24-MlLE ROUTES $1,000
YEARLY.

After a lively debate in the House OF
Representatives last week, in which Con-
gresham Linthicum of Maryland took an
active part, it was voted to denitely fix
the salaries Of rural carriers under the law
so that every carrier serving route of "a
miles will be paid 5000 a year.
In the preceding appropriation bill passed
by Congress provision was made for the
promotion of 43,325 rural carriers 500
each, and the necessary amount was au-
thoriZed for the increase. The Postofiice
Department so interpreted the law that
only fraction of them received more
money. This action aroused much indigna-
ton on the part of Congressman and the
statement was freely heard that when the
next P0stofiice appropriation bill came up
these promotions of rural carriers would be
made mandatory.
Referring to the work of mail carriers,
Congressman Linthicum said:
These rural letter carriers have consider
able expense. They are compelled to pro-
vide their means of transportation and to
deliver the mail each and every day i'm the
year. While in the summer the work may
be light and pleasant, in the winter il be-
comes onerous and very unpleasant. The
roads in the greater part of the country
where the mail is delivered by the rural
carriers are not only bad in winter but
often miserable and almost impossible.
81 received letter this morning from a
rural carrier in my State, who says that
during the summer one horse will perform
the work on his route. but during the win
ter he is compelled to have two horses to
do the same service There are many
routes in the State of Maryland, especially
those in the mountainous sections, where
more than one horse is required almost
constantly"

Roads Too Good.

Towson, BALTIC. County, Union-News.
The great problem Of farmers and mark
etmen for a week or more has been how
to get their teams over the slippery roads.
The improved" macadam roads are too
smooth for horses when conditions are
favorable. but when they are wet or covered
with ice the difficulty of travel over them
is greatly increased. Many cases have
been related Of persons who really had
urgent business abroad. but elected to stay
at home rather than risk injury to their
horses or themselves.
Much irritation and good deal of in
convenience has been caused in this county
in recent years by the theorists who claim
to know better what the people should
have than do the people themselves. Our
roads are case in point. The modern
engineers have evolved a type of road
suited to a special condition. that is. to
the use Of automobiles in dry weather, but
they are not what the general travelling
public wants, and why engineers and mu-
nicipal authorities continue to construct
them is difficult to understand. A good,
old-time macadam road, without any top
dressing Of dust to blow away or of tar to
make a slippery surface, is suitable for
all traffic and is cheaper to construct and
maintain than the rolled. busted. sprinkled
and tarred highway that has taken its
place.
Good roads are highly desirable, but
these roads should be good for all the peo-
pie who use them and at all seasons Such
roads can easily be made. so why not let
us have themY Julius Caesar performed a
great work for the Roman Empire by link
ing up the various parts Of ii with SPLEEN
did highways. but II he had made his roads
Of tar macadam he would have lost his
job several years before he died from an
overdose Of Roman punch.

Largest Apple Crop.

The largest apple crop ever produced in
the United States. that for 1914. yielded
259,000.000 bushels, according to esti-
mates announced the last day of the year
by the Department of Agriculture. This
yield was 114.000,000 bushels more than
in 1913.
These figures represent the actual "ag-
ricultural yield, " the department explained
and should not be confused with those Of
the commercial crop. which comprise the
marketed portion of the total production.
In 1918 the commercial crop was esti-
mated at 40 per cent. of the agricultural
production. Using the same proportion
for the 1914 basis. this years commercial
crop would total 1903. 100000 bushels.
The States leading in production of ap-
pies this year we're:

Died at her home In Washington, ID. C.
on the evening of December 9Th, 1914, after
a short but painful Illness Mrs. Margarel
A. Green, widow of the late 7. W. Green
in the 73rd year of her age. Mrs Green
before her marriage, was Miss Margaret
Blackburn, of near Fredericksburg, Virginia
Some years past she. with her family, re.
moved from Virginia to Bethesda, Md,
where she lived for a number of years
then removing to Washington. where she
lived until death claimed her.
The funeral services were conducted by
DR.. p, p. Flournoy. after which she was
laid to rest by the side of her loved ones
at Bethesda cemetery
She leaves many relatives and friends,
among them six children, thirteen grandchiI-
dren, three brothers and one sister. The chill
dren are; Mrs. W. T. Owens and Mr.. l.. l..
Green, of Bethesda. Md; Mr.. Aubrey
Green, Mr.. C0nyers Green and Miss Mar
garet Green, of Washington, and Mrs.
Reuben Humphrey, Of Cherrydale, Va.
Mrs. Green was kind and loving mother,
possessed with most beautiful character,
self-sacrifcing, seemingly giving her life
for the comfort and pleasure of those
around her. Indeed one could count il a
blessing to claim her as a friend Her
bright and smiling countenance will be
missed from the homes of her children
and friends, where she was wont to 90
with word Of sympathy and cheer, and
while we feel that by her death we sus-
tain great sorrow and loss, we also feel
that our loss is her eternal gain.
Oh, mother. how we miss you
From our Christmas cheer to-day,
But on snowy wings Of angels
God has borne your spirit away.
But in heaven we hope to meet you,
After the trials of life are DER,
Where no farewell words are spoken.
And we meet to part no more.
Oh, may our dear parents
Be link in the chain
Which shall bind us to heaven
Till we meet them again.

President Fills Maryland offices.


President Wilson sent to the Senate on
Wednesday last his list of nominations for
the remaining public offices in Maryland
with the exception of the nomination for
Subtreasurer. The list is as follows:
Samuel X Dennis, United States Attor-
ney.
W. W. Stockham, United States Marshal.
William P. Ryan. Collector of the Port.
Guy W, Steele. Surveyor of the Port.
Walter B. Warner, Appraiser of the Port.
James A. McQuade, Appraiser of the
Port.
1t is asserted that the name of Robert
G. Hilton, of this town, is slated for the
position of Subtreasurer. and it will be
sent to the Senate later.
Each of the United States Senators and
National Committeeman j. Fred C. Talbot
are recognized in this list of appointments.
Dennis, Ryan and McQuade are out-and-
out Smith men. Stockham is straight
out Lee man and so is Hilton, who is con-
fidently expected to get the position of
Subtreasurer Steele and Warner. although
recommended by Senator Lee, owe their
appointments almost wholly to Congress-
man Talbot.
1t is stated that nothing but the unfail-
ing efforts of the National Committeeman
prevented Secretary McAdoo from elimi-
mating Mr.. Steele's name. The candidacy
of the Carroll county man for the Collector
ship was withdrawn and that for the Sur
veyOrship of the port substituted
Senator Smith now has three Federal
appointments to his credit-those of Dis
trict Attorney, Collector of the Port and
one of the appraisers. Senator Lee is now
credited with the appointment of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue and the Naval
Officer.

County Sewer Law Declared Invalid.

The following decision of the Baltimor,
county court will hold up the contemplated
installment of sewer system in Bethesdt
district, this county. until the Maryland
Court of Appeals renders an opinion in the
matter:
An opinion written by Judge McLane
and concurred in by Judge Duncan was
handed down at Towson last Tuesda,
morning in the case of the Commissioner:
OF Baltimore county against the State
Board of Heath, in which the court hold.
that an order passed October 20 last by
the State Board of Health requiring the
County Commissioners to install sewerage
system for Govans and vicinity and to
have it completed by January 1, 1916, is
arbitrary and unreasonable.
The State Board of Health claimed
authority for this action under Chapter
675 of the Acts of 1914, which authorizes
the board to 60 into any of the counties OF
the State and require the County Commits
sioners to issue bonds and build sewerage
systems whenever, in the judgment of the
board, it is necessary to conserve the pub
lie health
Section 8 of the Acts of 1914 provides
the manner in which the bonds shall be
issued. It'says they shall be issued sub
ject to the approval of the Governor or the
Attorney General without submission to
the voters, and may be issued up to total
not exceeding 2 per cent. of the taxable
basis of any county, which in Baltimore
county would amount to about $30,0O0,-
900.
The court holds that this section of the
Act is unconstitutional and void because
it is no part of the duties of the Governor
or Attorney General to approve and sane
ton county bond issues. and any attempt
on the part of the Legislature to empower
them to do so or for the counties to issue
bonds upon their approval would be a
wrongful delegation of the taxing power"
Attorney William Pinkney Whyte. coun-
sci for the State Board of Health, has an
nounced that he would at once take an
appeal to the Maryland Court of Appeals
