Billy was speaking in favor of foot
conservation, which the government

everywhere, and was pointing out tht
ways and means by which the ma

Much praise has been given by ed

splendid exhibit of domestic science

played at the school building lasr
Wednesday. The exhibit was visited
by J. M. Dean, district farm demon

Mrs. E. H. Hatcher and others. all OF
whom pronounced the work as most
remarkable, and a highly creditable
display of what the negroes ofidtthe

The domestic science work was
done under the supervision tof Mar.

the negro state normal college at
Nashville. The agricultural work
was directed by Sampson Brown, a

Their efforts are deserving Of the
highest praise and will be important
factors in the great food production
and conservation program that has
been made necessary by the war. In
the domestic science departmentItifere

Opposed To Race Track Tax.

The race track gamblers, like the
whiskey sellers, are willing to pay
any price for the privilege of plying
their trade, and in order to stand in
with the State have come forward
with an offer to pay an increased
tax, under the guise or patriotism,
if permitted to continue to fleece the
suckers, but protests from every part
of the State are pouring in on the
Governor, objecting to the scheme to
put a State license on racetracks at
the coming session. Opposition has
come from churches, associations
and individuals and shows State
wide objection to the tracks.
1t has been proposed by the race
track interests that state tax OF
$4,000 day be put On them. This
would produce revenue of about
100000 year. At the last session
Of the Legislature, when hostile
legislation was pending, the racing
interests offered to pay a license OF
$1,000 a day. The raise 20 $4,000 Is
therefore, considered remarkable.
The itimation of the Governor
was that he would not be at all like
ly to recommend to the Legislature
the raising of revenue through the
racetracks.

Fish Destruction.

The Maryland Conservation Com
mission has issued the following
bulletin:
The State Is now Matching fish at
great expense in order to restock the
waters and increase the food supply
as we'll as to improve the fisherman S
opportunities.
In the face of this some thought
less fishermen continue the ,iestruc-
ton of small fish, by culling their
catch where, and in such a manner
as to prevent the return of the small
fish to the waters alive.
Not only is this wanton destruc-
ton causing damage to the fisher
mans own interests, but it is con-
trary to the urgent demand for con-
serving and increasing all food sup
plies now being urged by the Presi-
dent of the United States, and it is
useless for the State to attempt tC
hatch fish to replenish such W'ilfl;!
waste.
The Commission therefore calls
upon all fishermen to help conserve
the fish supply, to cooperate in
securing an observance of this
among their neighbors and to report
all wilful violators.
| The law prescribes penalty OF
$25 to 500 for taking or killing ol
undersized fish or emptying nets or
shore or in shallow water, and 6
vigorous campaign to apprehent
and prosecute violators will be made
The Commission has also issued &
bulletin calling attention to the
value of fish waste and cannine
house waste as fertilizer, and ask
/ ing that it not be dumped into tida
waters where it decomposes ant
roisons the water thereby causing
the destruction Of spawn, small fish
and the minute vegetation upor
which fish feed. Turn all waste
over to the farmer who can put it te
q good purpose.
