tn" league elected h" governor and
majority of the lower house and
was IN almost complete control of the
state machinery OF government. with
the exception of minority in the
senate, which proved strong enough
to defeat the state ownership bills.
At the close Of the legislative ses-
sion the league decided to invade 9TH
or western states and a campaign of
solicitation has been carried on over
since. This campaign was progress
ing fairly well until Senator LaFol-
lcttc and President A. G. TOwnley of
the league SPILLED the beans" dur
ing so-callcd national convention
on the food situation held at St. Paul.
The address delivered by Senator La
Toilette is now the subject of inves-

which is to pass on his fitness for con-
tinuing a member of the United States
senate.
Naturally the league as whole
could not be held responsible for the

war aims in such measure as to indi-

stick. Since then he has had ample
time to think things over, but so far
as we are aware he has not repudi-
ated the statements of LaFollette and
they. as well as his own utterances,
stand today as the official opinions of
the Non-Partisan League in refer
ence to the conflict with Germany.
Briefly these views are that the
torpedoing of the Lusitania, with the
consequent death of some eight hun
dred innocent men, women and chill
dren, was justified and that this ma
ton has no cause for entering the war
against the arch enemy of humanity.
Organizers of the league in this and
other states have made lame apol-
ogies or disclaimers for Townley, as
is natural as these organizers are
getting members on basis of sal
airy and commission. Western Farm
Life has been reliably informed that
the organizers commission on every

Prince Georges County Now Has
Modem Farm Work Advisor.

The County Commissioners on Tues
day appointed Mr.. C. H. Taylor. for
merly of Michigan. Agricultural
Demonstration Agent for Prince Geor-
ge's County.
In order to provide for practical farm
demonstration work in all Counties of
the State, the last Legislature made
an appropriation of $1,000 for each
county, to be devoted to paying the
salary of County Agricultural Agent.
The United States Government,
through the Extension Service will off
set this appropriation with a like
amount for the same purpose. Thus,
there is available 1000 for the salary
and expenses of demonstration agent
for each of the counties of the State,
without directly costing the county any
thing. Nearly all the other counties OF
the State have had County Demonstra
ton Agents for some time, and they are
nrovinr to be of invaluable service to
the farmers. Our Commissioners
have acted wisely in securing one also,
especially as it will entail little or no
expense to the county.
Instead of successful farmers having
to call on the Federal or State Depart
ment for expert advice on farm prob
lens, this practical demonstration agent
will be located in the county willing
and anxious to impart the information
which has been CLEANED by the Govern
ment at cost of millions of dollars.
No problem will be presented for
which a solution will not be quickly
supplied, for Uncle Sam backs up the
field demonstration with the foremost
experts in the country and they CO.
operate in every way to spread agricul-
tural information.
Mr.. Taylor is bright young man and
he and Mrs. Taylor contemplate making
their home in or near Marlboro. We
wish for them happy and successful
career among US.

Appeals Roads Money Case.

Comptroller McMullen has taken to
the Court of Appeals the question
whether he should restore to the &C
count of the State Roads Commission
the approximate 100000, which was
reverted to the general funds of the
Treasury on September 80. 1915. At
torney-General Richie gave an opinion
some months ago that the reversion
was illegal, and that the funds should
be restored to the commission's account.
Mr.. McMullen said that he had no
objection to making the restoration, but
felt that the courts should pass upon
the matter. Action was taken before
Judge Heuisler, who ordered the money
restored to the commission. Mr.. Nc
Mullen's appeal is from that decision,
and is for the purpose of removing the
question entirely from doubt. The
case waw heard by the Court of
Appeals this week. AttorneyGeneral
Richie represented the Roads Com
mission, and Mr.. McMullen prepared
his own briefs.

Maryland To Get S616, 485.

The Vocational Educational bill, which
will become law by March 4, will pro-
vide the State of MARYLAND with S616,
4s5 in Federal funds doing the next 10
wears to be used in establishing in Mary
land school courses of instructions in
agricultural. trade, industrial and home
economic subjects. The total amount
provided for all the states for the pro-
motion of practical education during
the same period is S44,934, Ito.
The bill, which was agreed upon in
conference this week, directs that the
money shall be spent in each state in
the training of teachers of agricultural
and other vocational pursuits and in
having the salaries of the teachers en-
ploved in this work at various schools
designated by the state and approved
by the Federal authorities.
Before the Federal funds can become
available in each state the Legislatures
must provide for the application OF the
money as outlined IN tne reuerai acI
Each state must appropriate sun
equal to the Federal allotment. The
money must be used in schools less thar
college grade. If the State of Mary
land has taken no steps to accept thu

tive of the State, can appoint a com

Oyster Famine Likely.

Baltimore is facing an oyster famine,
according to William H. Killian, mem
Der of the State Conservation Commits
sion. Mr.. Killian, being an oyster
packer and shipper, is familiar with
market conditions, and said the market
already is practically bare. There are
only two boatloads of oysters at Canton
and no more are coming up the bay
because of the freeze. Even if the ice
should break up in few days. said Mr..
Killian, there are few cargoes in the
as most of the dredge boats quit work
before The freeze on account of the
short catch in the bay.
Five years ago there was big and
long freeze but at that time there were
many cargoes of oysters afioat in the
city or down the bay and boats came in
before the supply was exhausted. Now
there are few anywhere and the tongers
have not been able to work because all
the grounds have been frozen tight for
several weeks.
So the best advice is for those who
have counted on oysters for their ban
DUETS and dinners to see about where
| they are to come from.

Permanent Peace.

Invitations have been sent to prom
in the counties to subscribe to a dinner
on the evening of February q at the
Hotel Belvedere, Baltimore, under the
auspices of the Maryland Branch of
the League to Enforce Peace, world
wide organization which has as its OBJ
ject the establishment of permanent
peace at the close of the war now rag
ing in Europe. 1t is not pacifist or
ganization On the other contrary it
proposes to bring all nations into
compact by which there will be resort
to force. if necessary, to compel ma
ton or alliance of nations to abide by
arbitration awards, thus saving other
nations from possibilities of being
drawn into war and from the many
hardships inflicted upon nations at
peace, including the high cost of living.
Leading European statesmen have de-
clared that if such an organization as
the League to Enforce Peace had ex-
l5I0U anu udU UcSll DIS pO"SIluI DIS IL
promises to be, the European War could
have been avoided. President Wilson,

dorsed the principles of the League
Former President W. H. Taft, who is

speakers at the dinner. Subscriptions
will be open to others than those who |
have received invitations until the |
number of subscribers shall have reach
ed the number to which they are limited |
by Hotel accommodations, namely 400.
Complications with Germany, what
ever may be their nature, will not inter-
fere with the dinner. The leagues

Catarrh Cannot BE Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrh al Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is ar
inf1amed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
