The Penalty for
a Good Reputation,

When an article has been on the
market for years and has given COM
plete satisfaction when used in
thousands of homes it creates for
itself a valuable reputation, yet at
the same time this good reputation
has its penalty.
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
enjoys a splendid reputation, for it
has been used for three generations
Its fair name and high repute have
created a demand for it, and to sup
ply this demand at a greater profit
limitations and substitutes are offered.
Purchasers who know the original
cannot be fooled by anye Just as
good. offering and it is worth the
effort of any one who wants reliable
cough syrup to insist upon the orig
inal and genuine Foley's Honey and

valuable for the relief of coughs.

Higher Tax on MOtOrtrucks.

! The proposed increased tax on auto
| trucks is given a considerable boost IN
the bill introduced in the House by
Floor Leader Bryant and in the Senate
by Senator Wartield, which makes
many amendments in the present law
concerning the licensing of motor
vehicles.
The new rates and regulations were
agreed upon by Henry G. Shirley,
chief engineer of the State Koads
| Commission; G. M. Engler, chief clerk
| in the office of the Commissioner OF
| Motor Vehicles, and Osborne l. 1ei-
! lott, representing the Automobile Ciao
of America.
Under the provisions of the biz
trucks with fat tires which now pay
license fee Of S3 i year "oui- be U"xeo
SO for all such Of one ton capacity or
less and Sc more for every additional
ton of capacity. Pneumatic tired cars
would pay fiat so cents per horespoW-
er instead of a certain rate for each 10
horsepower, as at present. Ihe rates
for this class of cars would vary little
from the existing ones.
On motorcycles the present rate Oh
81. 80 would be raised to So. Many re-
gulations are made concerning the
running of automobiles, the size of the
figures on the license plate, making
nominal charge for the duplication OF
certificates and tags that are lost or
destroyed and charge for the little
book giving the numbers of licenses
and owners of cars.
No municipality or community may
make any laws of regulations that con
f1ict with those provided in tha bill.
Garage keepers would .be given a lien
upon cars in all cases of undisputed
bills. The bill also provides for auto
mobile reciprocity with other states;
that is, that no fees should be charged
for cars for other states passing
through Maryland if Maryland cars
are allowed to tour such states. But
no charge will be made with regard to
making cars owned in Washington
have Maryland licenses.

Chesapeake Beach to Take on
New Life

The electrific alton and double track
ing of the Chesapeake Beach Railway,
together with big improvements at
lhesap cake Beach, are contemplated
in movement now on foot to further
develop that property with view of
bettering Washington's summer enter
tainment facilities.
There was rumor in financial cir
cles recently to the effect that this
undertaking is planned by group of
men connected with the Merchants
Bank of Washington, of which P. A.
Drury is president.
The fact that w. F. Jones, president
of the Chesapeake Beach Railway Com
pany, is member of the Board of d.
rectors of the Merchants Bank is re-
garded as significant circumstance in
connection with the umor and the fur
ther fact that it follows right on the
heels of the election of Malcolm S. Nc
Conn ihe as a director and first vice
president of the Merchants Bank, Mr..
McConnihe is a successful capitalist
and director and and one of the share
holders of the Nevada California Ore
gon Railroad. Mr.. McConnihe is en-
teresting western capital in develop
ing the Chesapeake Beach Railroad.
A company was recently organized
to set up an over-the water ride. to
cost $25, 900, at Chesapeake Beach.
Michael j. Keane, general counsel of
Merchants Bank, is the president of
this company, which already has men
at work.
When approached regarding the
rumor President Druy said that he
considered the further the development
of Chesapeake Beach and the railway
that resort with Washington
as natural consequence.
The plan contemplates the erection
of summer homes on the heights to the
south of Chesapeake Beach.
The electrification of the Chesapeake
Beach railway will require the erection
IF power plant on the banks of the !
which will supply current
'or Chesapeake Beach as well as the :
'ailroad.

U. s. TROOPS ENTER MEXICO

Brig-Gen. John ]. Pershing,

gan the persuit in Mexico Wed
nesday OF Francisco Villa, whose
raid across the border last week
caused President Wilson and his
Cabinet to decide to use the
UnitA States Army to run him
down.
General Pershing's report that
he and his command had crossed
the International boundary line
just south of Columbus reached
Gen. Frederick Funston, in
charge of general operations

HiSreport served to dispel to
a great extent fears that had
beenxntertained in some quar-
ters Shat resistance would be
offerSd by the troops of the de
factdgoveEnment. Colonel Ber-
tani ,Ahe commanding officer of
the garranza garrison at Palo-
mas, Jon the south side of the
dividing line, promptly joined
GeneEal Pershing. go. ;.
Colonel Bertani's force was
only hsome 400 men, but they
wersreported to have displayed
willingness and even eagerness
to job in the chase. AS a body,
the Mexican troops will remain
unda their own commander,
but d number of them are being
employed as scouts by General
PersHing.
Reports of progress in the
country where the search has
beenkbegun will be made by Gen
raj Rershing to General Funston,
but it is not anticipated that
these VIII BE frequent or deal
with, any but the more important
developments.
HoW far into Mexico the
column has reached is unknown.
General Pershing's course for
the next two days is known
onlysat headquarters and not
intilSafter Friday are sharp de-
veio@nents expected.
COX George A. Dodd, heading
a smaller column that entered
Mexico some distance west of
Columbus, also is moving in a
southerly direction and these
two forces should be within
touch of each other before the
end of the week.
By that time it is expected an
infantry support will hold the
lines of. communication along
which motortrucks for the trans
portatiOn of ammunition and
supplies will be operated.
Although the censorship i'm
posed by General Funston has
been relaxed efforts still are
made to keep secret the details
Of the plan of campaign, the ex-
act number Of men engaged and
their actual locations.
General Pershing has gone in
to Mexico with orders to over
taketaifd wipe out Villa and his
band. Unless orders to the con-
trary are received from those
higher in authority than General
Funston, the campaign that was
begun "Wednesday will con
tinue until Villa is captured or
killed.. This. it was said at Gen
eral Funston's headquarters
Wednesday, is the idea of Gen
eral Pershing which he carried
with him across the line.
No limits have been placed on
the field of operations. After
the campaign is we'll under way,
it was pointed out, circumstances
may cause restrictions, but just
now the troops are prepared to
60 anywhere to carry out. the

could be seen vending their way ocean,

numbers by noon that the streets and

were numerous booths and stalls to
accommodate the vast crowds, and
about 6 p. IA. the procession reached
the cotton market headed by ele-
plants richly caparisoned, and fol-
lowed by numerous native and military
bands, by Infantry, Arab chowkidars,
and mounted police, while string Of
carriages occupied by state officials
brought up the rear. The Maharaja

That Refuses to Recognize Him
as . Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry of James Whitcomb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species of objections in the
minds of many Americans. His poetry
sings. Its force Is emotional. Its
sincere ch9rm is absolute, and de-
ponds not at NIL on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection of Greek verse, or IA
miliarity with Japanese art, or i'm.
pressionistic landscape. To the kline
of reader for whom a recognizable.
musical idea limits, instead of greatly
liberating the communicative faculty
OF poetry, to The kind of reader who
thinks of poetry as a species of mere
tight-mOuthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind of render who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their insplration-to such Ameri-
can readers us these James Whit
comb Riley's poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. Peo-

out of the newspapers and reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and

His Iqnora nee Was Profitable.

A writer says in Farm and Fireside:
Claude Mclaughlin of Montrose coun-
ty, Colo, made 1921 from alfalfa seed
from exactly two acres last year, en-
tirely by accident. This two acres of
alfalfa was in its second years growth,
but was on new and unfertile land and
had been so starved for water that he
thought 1t not worth cutting for hay.
He therefore let it stand and contin-
ued without water, preferring to use
his irrigation water on what he
thought were more valuable crops. In
the early fall he noticed the alfalfa
had gone to seed, and there was sur
prisingly large amount of seed. So 1t
was cut and stacked and in March,
1916, threshei. He sold the seed and
got 1921 from the two acres. His Gull
ture was the proper thing to grow al
falfa seed. Have thin stand and irri-
gate just enough to keep it fresh, but
not to force the growth of rank stalks.
Then 1t will make good bloom and
much seed"
