The Baltimore dailies are in high
glee over the fact that the saloons
won in that city at, the recent cleo
ton, protesting to see in the vote
the final settlement of the liquor
question in Baltimore. But they well
know the whole thing is to do over
again.. as the temperance people
never quit fighting until they achieve
their ends, no matter how many de-
feats they sustain. AS proof of this,
look at the gradual spread of dry
territory throughout the country.
The reason the vets won in Balti-
more is well known, as the saloons
dominate both old parties in the city,
and it is currently reported on the
streets of Baltimore that on Satur-
day, November 4, the liquor inter
ests met in council with the leaders
of the two political machines in Bal
timore and it was decided to pass
the word down the line to vote
wet" Hence the city went wet.
But be it known the day of reckon
ing for the Baltimore whiskey
crowd is only deferred, and if the
city does not drive the saloons out.
the counties of the State will com
bine forces and do the job for her.

The Way the Lawyers Put 1t

If man were to give another an
orange, he would just simply say, II
give you this orange" but when the
transaction is intrusted to the hands
of a lawyer to put in writing, he
adopts this form: 81 hereby give and
convey to you, all and singular, my
estate and interest, right, title,
claim and advantages of and in said
orange, together with all of it's rind,
skin, juice, pulp and pips, and all
right and advantages therein, with
full power to bite, suck, and other
wise eat the same orange or give the
same away with or without the RING,
skin, juice pulp or pips, anything
hereinbefore or hereinafter, or in
any deed or deeds, instrument or in
struments of whatever nature or
kind soever, to the contrary in any
wise, Notwithstanding. Elk.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. 1t is especi-
ally valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other.
Obtainable everywhere.

Some Auto Don'ts.

Don't let the water freeze in the
radiator.
Don't run the machine into tele-
phone pole or bridge abutment.
Don't leave your machine on a
steep grade unless it is aimed so as
to strike the curb should it start OF
its own account.
Don't run your car past the man
you owe more than six times in any
one day. 1t makes him irritable.
Don't forget you can't run far
after the gasoline tank is empty
And if you failed to pay for the
last gasoline, don't expect that same
dealer to bring you quart when
YOU stall few miles away at mid
night.
Get acquainted with owners OF two
garages. When you owe one big
bill, give the other one your bust
ness. When you owe both go to
another town.
If any Of these suggestions fit your
particular case, try to make believe
they are a good rub on one of your
neighbors tell everybody how
it just describes him.

SHOULD PLANT FOREST TREES.
Residents of Maryland Advised to
Take Advantage of State Forest
Nursery, and Secure Stand
ard Trees at Cost.

Il
With the coming of the fall season
the State Board of Forestry, $50
North Howard St., Baltimore, is re-
newing its offer to residents of Mary
land to supply them with standard
forest and roadside planting stock
at cost. The Nursery has been es-
tablished and growing trees for
State Improvement work since the
spring of 1914. The response with
which it has met has shown that the
service which 1t offers is appreciated
generally by local landowners, and
it has enabled the extension of MUIR
sery facilities to meet growing
need.
While in the past not as much of
forest and roadside planting has been
done in, the fall as in the spring,
there seems no reason, practically
throughout the State, why this should
not show steady increase in the
future. In fact, there are several
distinct advantages attached to fall
planting which do not obtain in the
spring. Labor is usually more
plentiful and cheaper, and the
ground is very frequently easier to
work" There are many reasons
for utilizing the months of October
aud early November for Improvement
work through planting trees along
the roads and on the farms of Mary
land
Two distinct classes of trees are
offered for sale this year: Forest
trees, and Roadside trees. Twelve
hundred forest trees are sufficient
for planting an acre of ground; one
hundred and fifty share trees for a
mile of highway. Prices on the
former are therefore by the thou
sand, on the latter by the hundred,
and in both cases are rated at the
| cost of production.
Among varieties on hand, in forest
trees, are seedlings and transplants
of white pine, loblolly pine, Norway
spruce red oak, and black locust; in
the roadside trees there are offered
larger red oak transplants, and larger
transplant stock in white ash, honey
locust, American elm, black walnut,
and tulip popler. Prices range from
the "a per thousand charged for the
small white pines to SIS. per hundred
for transplants of black walnut four
IN FIVE feet in height. The rates on
all of them are very reasonable, as
low as it is possible to make them.
Packing is free, and instructions for
planting accompany each order.
