Fighting Prohibition.

The liquor making interests are
inserting large advertisements in
eastern newspapers making a
strong appeal for co operation in
the fight to defeat prohibition. on
the part of those corporations rep
resenting great masses of capital.
These advertisements recite the
alleged fact that the raid on the
liquor industry is but part of the
general attack on capital as repre-
sented in the efforts to secure better
treatment of the public on the part
OF the railroads, express companies
and other public service corpora
tions. And at the same time the
railroads are growing more strenu-
Gus in enforcing rules against the
use of intoxicants by trainman and
enginemen because drunken rail
readers cause accidents and deaths
and damage suits.

Further Road Loan Needed

To complete the linking up of
Maryland's hardsurfaced road sys-
tenn a furthur loan is needed, and a
bill is now before the Legislature
providing for such funds. The
scheme of State roads as indicated
in the surveys completed in 1909,
extends through every county OF
the State and was brought nearly
to a stage of completion at the end
of 1915.
From 1908 to 1914 inclusive
several loans to defray the con.
struction cost of the road system
were authorized by the General
Assembly and floated. These
funds have now been about used
up, and though the road system as
originally planned has been nearly
brought to completion, there are,
manlfestly, missing links IN the
scheme. Both the party platforms,
preceding the last election, prom
ised that, if either party were in
control of the 1916 legislature, the
state road system would be finished
in it's entirety.
The bill that has been drafted is
understood to be upon lines Of sng.
gestion advanced by Roads Chair
man Weller. 1t will, if enacted,
involve the floating of another
roads loan of 50, 100000, and Of
this sum 100000 will be appor-
toned the city of Baltimore for
street improvements.

INFORMATION
FOR VEGETABLE GARDEN
By JOHN BARTRAM

In plotting out the small garden ANA
teurs are perplexed as to the amount of
seed or number of plants required to fill
row OF stated length and they are also
az sea about the distance apart to place
the rows. Garden articles are usually
silent on these practical points, so 1 am
covering them in a simple way by means
or tables. From the tabular information
any one can adapt his ground TO accord
with available space and to cater to the
tastes of the family. A garden planned
on the lines of those suggested in my ar
tlcle Of April "a will prepare the way for
a systematic campaign. Although II is
desirable to have liberal spacing between
the rows, IL the ground is well fertilized
and occasional dressings of a good COM
mercial fertilizer are applied during the
season the rows can be close together,
with the reservation that enough room
must be left for cultivation, which keeps
lie weeds down, and by making a dust
mulch conserves moisture.
DISTANCE TABLE.
In the first line of figures is given the
distance plants should stand apart in the
row. The second line gives the proper
interval between rows / never plant
rows closer than IA feet apart: but in
very tiny patches 1 have seen excellent
results from rows u to l foot apart
The distances indicated are designed to
make the best and most use of available
space.

is an enthusiastic Redmondite and dis
paraged the efforts OF the "tin pike" men

attitude seemed more that of efpediency.

come back, trained and equipped, where
would we be then?
