Lime Plants May Be Ready in Fall.

Contracts for two State Southern
Maryland lime plants will be let early
nexi month, with the view of having the
machinery in operation in time to supply
farmers of the section for fall wheat
planting. The plants will be OF port
able nature. They will grind oyster
shells and will be moved from place to
place wherever shells are available, thus
eliminating cost of transporting the
crude supplies to central grinding
points.
The last legislature appropriated SI2,-
900 for the esI ablishment of the South
ern Maryland lime plants and the
money was made available for October
1 next. Governor Harrington appoint
State Treasurer John M. Dennis, DR..
Richard S. Hill and G. H. Alfred to
handle the subject. Tuesday of last
week Mr.. Dennis announced that the
committee had completed its work and
would meet with Governor Harrington
during the latter part of the week to
discuss the question of contracts for
the work.
The committee estimates that at least
two first-class plants can be equipped

also that portable plants will prove
more useful than stationary ones. The
supply of oyster shells in the tidewater
section of Southern Maryland is almost
without limit, but the cost of transpor-
tation of the shells would materially
increase the gross producing cost of the
crude lime.
MI Dennis recently exhibited sam
pie of the lime powder produced by
one of the shell-grinding machines. The
shells are practically ground to fine
powder.
The Southern Maryland delegations
in the General Assembly for several
sessions waged hot fight to obtain a
lime plant appropriation, but it was not
| until the present year that enough
votes could be mustered to secure the
necessary funds. Governor Harrington
supported the proposition and signed
| the bill soon after it was enacted.
Backers of the plan claim that the
lime plants and the fertilizing supplies
that will be ground out will result
eventually in a greatly increased land
taxation basis in that section for the

New Revenue Law Now In Effect

The new general revenue law, which
was signed by President Wilson just
before he left Washington for Shadow
Lawn Friday night, went into effect
at midnight Friday night. The new
inheritance tax provision of the law
went into effect at midnight, which
means that inheritance taxes must be
paid on estates of persons dying after
midnight last Friday if the net value
of the estate is $4,000 or over. Estates
of persons dying prior to that time are
not subject to the new inheritance.
The stamp taxes on documents of
various kind as we'll as the tax on
cosmetics went out of existence at
midnight last Friday. Governor Osborne,
commissioner general of internal reve
nue., that the new general revenue bill
wiped out all of the stamp taxes of ex
listing law and the cosmetic tax as soon
as the new law became effective
Some confusion seemed to exist over
this point until it was cleared away by
Governor Osborne.
The stamp taxes were imposed by
the war revenue act of October %,
1914, which was extended by Congress
ional joint resolution on December II,
1915, for an additional year, ending
December 81, 1916. These stamp taxes
have been collected under the revenue
act on bonds, debentures, promissory
notes, telegraph and telephone mes
sages, bills of lading, conveyances,
custom-house entries, insurance pol
cies, passenger tickets to foreign ports
powers of attorney, protests of notes
and similar documents. The same
war revenue law imposed special tax
on perfunary and cosm etics, cheWin g
gum and similar articles.
The new General Revenue Law
specifically provides for the repeal o.
all of the war revenue law of 1914 eX-
cept sections three and four of that
act. Section three Of the Act of 1871
lLlDUSSu LdA Va DduhClS,
| commercial brokers, custom house bro
kers, tn eaters, circuses. bowling alley
and commission merchants, and section
four of the Act of 1914 imposed
special tax on tobacco dealers ant
manufacturers.
The General Revenue Law, which
went into effect at midnight, repeats
all of the war revenue act of 1914, in
Guiding documentary stamp taxes AM
cosmetic taxes, but provides that tn,
taxes on bankers, brokers, theater
and so forth, covered by section three
and the tax on tobacco, covered b.
section four, should remain in force
until January l. 1877. After the latte
date the new theater and tobacco tax
es become effective.

Suggestions For Handling
NeighbOrhOod News

THE PRINCE GEORGES ENQUIRER APP
preciates the local news sent in by the
regular correspondents, and is always
glad to receive items about tourna-
ments, church fairs, club meetings,
church notices and other interesting
happenings, from persons who are not
regular correspondents, but who happen
to be interested in, and to know all the
details of the happenings. However,
here are few rules and suggestions
for correspondents and others. A read
ing of them, and the observance of
them, when news is to be sent in, will
help the Office force; but more than
this, it will make for the issuance of a
better newspaper for Prince Georges
county, and decrease materially the
danger of mistakes of every sort.
Do not send in notice of a picnic, or
church fair or something else that is to
happen several weeks later. and expect
the office to remember to reprint the
notice each week until the event takes
place Also, please do not simply clip
an item out after it is once written and
ask that it be re-published the next week.
1t is more ''newsy" and will attract
more attention if rewritten each
week, until your bazaar, picnic or other
entertainment takes place.
And now here is a really important
suggestion-we almost felt like say
"Rule." When tournament and bazars
and picnics are going to happen y
THE PRINCE GEORGES ENQUIRER
gladly gives advance notices" and in
this way helps to advertise them. 1t
occurs to the editor that it is only fair
return for the same persons who send
in the advance notices, to see that the
posters, tickets, ETC., are printed at
this Office or some other county news
paper office which extends the same
courtesy instead of in the large city
offices, which do the work no better and
ehargs just as much. Also after these
events are over these same persons
should see that this paper has an ac-
count of what happened at the enter
tainment; who won the tournament
prizes, how much money the church
entertainment made, and who was
successful in the rattle at the bazaar,
All of these things are news, but the
managers of them do not always re-
member US after they have happened.
For instance, frequently the paper
gives advance notices in the "Brevities'
of tournament, because they are SEN
in by the persons managing the affair
who want publicity, but after the
tournament is oyer We can find no one
in the neighborhood who has taken de
tailed scores and winners, and Other
notes of the affair.
THE ENQUIRER feels that the News
Department really belongs to the PEG:
ole of Prince Georges county. 1t is
Conducted so as to give them the bes1
service and to keep them in touch with
what is going on among their friends
and neighbors. 1t is for this reason
that these suggestions are made. Lo-
cal correspondents and others are re
ouested to mail their letters so thai
fhey will reach US on Wednesday morn
ing or early Thursday morning. The
letters are much appreciated, and it Is
unfortunate that same reach the otHcG
too late for publication.

Emerson says, "a lady Is SERENE"
doctors tell us that hurry like worry
Is death to good looks and an enemy
to health as well. The people who
accomplish the most in the world are
those who plan their work we'll and
serenely accomplish it. Did you ever
time yourself on certain piece Of
work; for example the making and
frying of rule Of doughnuts? If so
you will know the time needed and
Will know what to plan for. OF
course, there are always the unex-
pected Interruptions which we can
not plan on, but it is wise to know
the length of time it takes to do GER
tain pieces Of work. If mistresses
had better understanding Of these
things there would be more peace and
harmony In the household. A maid
who had O two weeks washing under
way should not be asked to prepare
dinner for invited guests. It Is such
inconsiderate women who are helping
to keep the servant problem still un-
solved, and are always looking for q
servant. If one is possessed with the
precious power Of concentration, use
an alarm clock and set it at the time
that the dinner is to be started or the
bread put into or taken out Of the
oven. 1t takes but an instant to pro.
vide this security and it so relieves
the mind that the whole attention
may be put upon what ever work is
at hand.

to be desired. and vastly more appre

NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "Blows His
Own Horn" Is as General Prln.
cple to Be Avoided.

Beware of the person who is contin-
ualiy telling you Of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he Is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds Of kind
ness, prompted by heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his insinccr-
ity make him n man to be avoided
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.
