men who do most of these things and

the nature of many soils is such that
the result is still insufficient without
clearly seeing why. The reason Is
that all material, including soil, is in
its nature chemical, and when its ma

this condition, and that is chemical
one-a lime treatment. The amount
of lime to use is in proportion to the
sickness of the soil and greater than
what would be needed for merely
sweetening it. The kind of lime Is
also important, and all students and
teachers of the subject are agreed
that only burned lime answers the
purpose. Practical experience has

FOREST FIRES!

County.
Baltimore. Nov. 1?.-According to
the Maryland State Board OF Fores-
try, the State OF Maryland has made
to date, in 1917, I. very fair record
in the suppression and prevention o:
unnecessary forest fires. Hy the
term unnecessary" is meant all fer
est fires, for while some are set by
negligence, few through Wilfulness
or by incendiaries, and number are
started through out-worn and mis-
informed ideas OF grass production,
all OF them do nothing but damage,
and in the end cause nothing but
loss. Although the season, 50 far, has
gone On well, enough dry, dangerous
weather remains to spoil the State S
good record in forest fiSe protection
TOR 1917, if ali possible measures are
not taken through public co-opera-
ton for their prevention ana control.
With fuel of all sorts higher and har-
der to get than ever before, We have
no longer wood to burn unneces-
sarily.
Within the past ten years the
Board of Forestry has created ano
built up from very small beginning
a force of nearly two hundred War
dens trained and equipped to combat
all forest fires effectively and expedi-
tiously. That they have done so is
adequately attested by constantly
shrinking losses from this source,
losses which have gone down from
near a quarter million dollars iii
1911 to about one-eighth as much
during last year. Forest fires before
this date undoubtedly recorded much
higher damage, but means for secur-
ing a complete report upon them
were largely lacking.
How the Board of Forestry has &C
complished this is generally well
known. They have their Forest
Wardens throughout the State, re-
enforced III Western Maryland with
Forest Lookout Men, and in particu-
larry dangerous areas of continuous
woodland the help of Federal For
est Patrolmen, paid by the National
Government, through g cor Cratiye
agreement with the State. The men,
who are largely actuated to serve b.
disinterested and public-spirited mo-
tives, are compensated only for &C
tual services rendered, and this pay
they have well earned in the past.
Expenses are kept to figure as low
as consistently possible, and from an
expenditure OF a very few thousand
in fire protection comes saving In
money and timber amounting to a
hundred-fold return On the invest
ment.
State Forester Besley Will shortly
start upon a trip through these Sec
tions of the State where the exist
ing fire hazard is the greatest and at
that time will go over local prob
lens on the ground with the States
representatives in each section. In
all the work of forest fire protection
for Maryland the assistance and
whole-hearted cooperation Of the
public is not only asked, but abso-
lutely needed at every turn, for wal
years are no time for wanton waste
The State Forester On his tour hopes
to meet as many interested people as
possible in the cause of fewer forest
fires for Maryland.

Curing leprosy.

toned that a Cuban had asserted that
he had discovered cure for leprosy
and had so far impressed the Havana
authorities that a commission of ply
sicians had been appointed to investi-
gate the matter. It now appears a
leper no further away than Pennsyl-
vania Is so much improved In health
that he has been released from Quaran-
tine. 1t Is asserted that while bacilli
are found In nodules ON his face, his
blood shows no trace Of them or Of
the disease, and the authorities Of
Wilkesbarre, which have been keeping
him and his family In quarantine at
an expense Of $1,000 a year. have put
an end to the outlay by removing the
quarantine. 1t may be supposed that
the man, Joseph Norman, will not be
altogether popular at social gatherings
for some time to come, but 1t Is signif-
cant that his condition has so far Inn
proved that he is permitted to be at
large.-Hartford Courant.

would rather be right than presi

! retail merchants.
There is no right without a parallel
duty, no liberty without the supremacy
of the law. no high destiny without
earnest perseverance. no greatness
without self denial.
AS a dispenser of important services
in any town none compares with the
retail merchant. t--
Perhaps the first benefit Of impor-
lance is the endless accommodations
which he extends his customers. His
books show that where misfortune.
sickness or loss of occupation over
takes his customers he is frequently
obliged to carry them for many months.
Honest Men Get Credit.
The man who has not established a
reputation for unreliability or dishon-
esty is reasonably sure OF securing
credit for the asking. And the extern
sion Of credit Is equivalent to making
loans without interest And who would
ask or expect any such favor Of any
one but merchant or a very close and
dear friend?
The local town to be desirable
place to live in must have police and
fire protection, 1t must have bridges,
improved streets, water, sewers and
good schools. To secure these neces-
sary improvements and to maintain
them taxes must be levied. The local
merchant pays a large share of the
taxes.
Among other things, the local mer-
chant is continually forced to contrib
ute to all manner of charitable enter
prises, both public and private. He is
the local benefactor. inasmuch as be Is

young men and women find employ

quality which he can sell just as cheap

Take away from the community one
of the most important elements Of
prosperity, the medium Of exchange.
and the effect Is inevitable-a weaken

cisely what the great mail order re-
tail houses are doing. They are bleed

destroying local markets. weakening
local credits. reducing the volume Of
deposits In small local banks, starving
out local business men who are con-

dealers. driving to the large cities

longer find employment in small

soon pay the penalty In the shrinkage

as In the loss Of their markets.

places where prosperous communities
formerly thrived. and the population
OF the country will be divided between
the farms and the large cities. The
prospect is not a pleasant one to con.
