NO BLISTER RUST
IN MARYLAND
Inspector Who Made Tour of
State Shows White Pine Men,
ace Still Absent.

After having made thorough survey
of the State, E R. Ford, Of the Mary
land State Board of Forestry, cooperat-
ing with the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, returned Oct. l to Baltimore
with the report that to date, at least,
no trace can be discovered of the blister
rust that has so tar played such havoc
generally with planted and natural
stands of the white pine farther North.
When local forestry officials realized
the possibilities of this destructive rust
becoming established in the State of
Maryland, a move was quickly made to
get trained investigator in the field.
This was done about two months ago ii
conjunction with the Government de-
partment, and during the time of Mr..
Ford's inspection all known paintings
of fine-needle pines were visited, his
swing around the State taking him
through fifteen counties and the out
skirts of Baltimore City. Fifty-eight
town and city districts were so investi.
gated for this disease, as well as eight
Maryland nurseries which grow white
pine.
AS is well known to foresters, the
white pine blister rust was brought In
from Europe some time since on i'm
ported nursery stock. 1t has already
made wide inroads in plantations of
this tree to the North and East of
Maryland. doing especial havoc and
creating incalculable damage in the
states of New England and New York.
White Pine has long been recognized as
tree particularly suitable for replant-
ing and reclslming the worn-out lands
of the East, and Maryland in this re-
gard is no exception.
A popularity of the disease now pre-
valent further North is that its first
host, where development of spores
takes plac e, Is a currant or gooseberry
bush. Those in the north have been
destroyed, though not to any adequate
extent, in an effort to stamp out the
rust, but INSPECTION in Maryland, which
included them. showed no present indi-
cation of it. Evidently. up to the pres
ent, Maryland is free from this latest
forest peril. Should it later spread to
this vicinity, the local Board of Fores-
try may be counted upon to take all
possible steps for its prevention and
control. 1t is alive to the exigencies of
such a situation.

OLD HICKORY TONIC
is RICH IN IRON
Restores Strength, Vim and Vi
tally in Short Time.

Iron increases the red corpuscles in
the blood, thereby making it richer and
purer. As Old Hickory Tonic contains
one of the very best forms of iron that
the human system can easily absorb, it
is not very long after you take it that
you feel stronger and more vigorous.
Besides the iron, there are eXtractions
of number of tonic and purifying
herbs, roots and barks in Old Hickory
Tonic. They tone the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, create good appe-
tite and cleanse the system of poisons.
Old Hickory Tonic is not patent
medicine. 1t is made from the formula
of family of doctors, who for over
half century used it in their own
practice. No other tonic they ever
prescribed would give the same good
results that their own preparation gave,
so they always returned to it.
If you are weak and sickly, go to the
drug store at once and buy good big
bottle of Old Hickory Tonic. Take &C.
cording to directions and notice how
quickly health and strength returns.
Then ask your druggist for the lowest
price on six bottles and continue the
treatment until you are thoroughly well.
You'll find it good investment, for to
be weak and sick is the most expensive
thing in the world. Stat Adv.

Portrayal of Autumn concluded.

Portrayal of Autumn concluded.
Like the ashes of once glowing en-
bers, there remains today scarcely a
distinguishable trace of the superlative
scene of yesterdays grandeur that l
briefly outlined in previous issue of
The REPUBLICAN.
Were it,. possible, dear readers, to
convey you in reality to the actual site
OF this occurrence would undoubtedly
avail myself of the opportunity of be-
ing the recipient OF such an extreme
pleasure of ultra delightfulness in hav-
ing you witness this grotesque spectacu-
lar scene of today. But as such an
idea seems vague. in its accomplish
ment, | shall adopt a much simpler
plan by which you may participate in
the enjoyment of its gleanings.
This morning whilst the village lies
wrapt in profound slumber and ere the
first faint streaks of crimson light
which precedes the break of day-ap-
peared in the eastern sky, beheld IN
amazement the utter devastation of
yesterdays autumnal glories.
The North winds shrieked and moan
ed, in horrible, dismal walls striking
terror to ones heart-as it roared in its
ever increasing voluminous tones on its
trend through the magnificent forest,
resplendent in a gorgeous array, of
handsomely tinted foliage Alas! the
cruel and pitiless winds wrests the
beautiful autumn leaves from their
lofty bowers that fall, with an ominous
sound, like the solemn knell of fun
eral bell, tolling the demice of truly
devout companion.
For moment stand at the grim and
repeling sepulchre, of fleeing autumn
-enveloped in pail of hldeous black
ness, for nature mourns and patiently
await the glimmer of morn. The nigh
is DER wane pale light proclaims the
dawn. The pickering embers die, and
ashes. only ashes. remain.
Now that autumn days are waning
How ones thoughts ebb far away;
To quiet peaceful graveyard,
Where sleeps friends of yesterday.
O, how solemn! 0. how sacred,
Is that city of the dead
See the bright and glorious sunlight;
Round each tomb halo shed
Sleep thou on, O, dear brave co MIRA des'
Lies turmoil for e'er will cease;
To disturb thy blissful slumber,
Or destroy thy perfect peace.
All! my heart nigh burst with anguish
AS saw thee fade and die;
But for Faiths sweet consolation
That thou live above the sky.
Hank! hear celestial music
Played by angel bands on high,
And loved voices, l distinguish;
In Gods home above the sky.
Gaze on marble shafts a cleaning,
In the autumn's twilight glow;
Where the leaves are gently falling,
On the grass grown mounds below
Farewell. loved ones, cave thee
Tho my thoughts will ever stray;
To this solemn, sacred city,
Where sleeps friends, of yesterday.
