OF LAW AGAINST
ADVERTISING SIGNS ON PUBLIC
HIGHWAYS
Campaign Starts June 1st. 1916.

Since the Roadside Tree Law went
into effect little more than a year
ago the State Board of Forestry, Bal
timore, Md, which is charged with it's
enforcement, has by means of Forest
Wardens throughout the State been
engaged in the elimination of adver-
Using signs, supervising the trimming
of trees and assisting in the planting
OF other trees along the highways.
This in itself is a big task when there
are more than 16,400 miles of roads
to cover and more than 100000 trees
to be given protection and care.
This law, among other things, makes
it a misdemeanor punishable by
fine to place any advertising
signs within the right-of-way of
public highway, or on pri-
vate property without the written
consent of the owner. While most of
the roads are comparatively free of
unlawful signs, there are many VIOLA
lions of the law even after two years
of publicity and the constant tearing
down of signs by the Wardens and
others.
1t is the plan of the State Forester,
beginning June LIST, 1916, to make a
complete canvass of the State to see
that all illegal advertisements are de-
stroyed and to prosecute all violators
of the law. The law has been gener-
ally posted and sufficient public notice
has been given of it's provisions. Ad-
vertisers should lose no time in re-
moving their signs before the State
FOrester's men find them and use
them as evidence against the adver-
tiSerS

Sainthood for Maid of Orleans.

Rome June. &c Today the Blessed
Joan Of Are was advanced another step
nearer sainthood, when the Congregation
of Rites held a preparatory session to m
vestigate the miracles said 10 have been
performed by the Maid OF Orleans, who l.
mvstically supposed to have won the great
battle of the Marine in 1414. though the
l. certainly not one Of the miracles pro-
posed.
The various stages leading up to cano-
~nization sometimes extend over centuries.
A condition precedent to canonization l.
qualification. This consists of fourteen
distinct steps. The candidate must be one
who is alleged to have practiSed i'll life IN
a heroic degree faith. hope, and charity.
The first step j. the bishops inquiry. which
j. made n exhaustive a. possible to aScer-
tain whether the person was eminent III the
exercise of those virtues. The inveStiga-
ton in the case of Joan of Are was begun
more han fifty years ago by Bishop
Dupanloup of Orleans and acrried Ia a con
clusion by his successor, the late Cardinal
Couille of Lyons.
The solemn ceremonies in the beatitica-
ton of Joan of Are werclcarried out in 81
Peters on April Is. 1909. in the presence
Of 10000 French pilgrims, practically MI
the bishops of France and many cardinals.
According To the rubric, the Pope Toe not
attend qualifications in person. but a. a
mark Of special devotion Leo Mi. a.
sisted ON this occasion at a solemn bcne-
diction which replaced the ceremony OF
the veneration Of relics, rome existing IN
the case cf Joan Of Are.
Before the beatified can be canorizcd at
least two miracles must have been per
formed. The name NJ the b~eatified one j.
then presented to tt-ce congregations AZ

canonization take place. The Importance
OF the ceremony may be understood when

No matter how earnestly any American
may have wished that the present crisis in
the relations between the United States
and Mexico might be bridged over without
b~loodshed, yet it is cause for consolation
TO all Americans to realize that, IL war
does come, their country has Just cause
for its quarrel with it, neichbor. The last
note sent to General Carranza by President
Wilson has ~ct forth the grounds upon
which the American cause j. based in such

ANY fair minded person, be he Amcri-

realize that no other course was open To
this country than to pursue the Mexican
bandits that have continued 10 invade
American soil and commit theft and muir

the Mexican government did not ~rcs.rain
them. With the exception Of General Ri
