THF, FIG SCORES

Willis Butler once gave a poker
literary distinction in his amusing
booklet, Pigs is Pigs Now it re-
mains for no less a parsonage than
our friend. Mr.. Hoover, to give the
porker additional dignity by the
claim that American pigs will win
the war.
We have long r served this ella I'M
for the common, ordinary beam but
Pork and Beans go we'll together and
SO does the Food Dictator's predic-
tion go we'll with ours. At any rate,
the keep-a-pig movement should go
hand in hand with the war garden
propaganda. Also if the cacklng of
geese could save the mighty Rome,
why will not the squealing of pigs
save America and the Allies? 1t
should, at least, reassure them that
all is well-at home.-Goodwin' Week

FLOWING BREAKS RECORD

Not in years has the fall work of
farmers ben so we'll advanced on the
Flathead reservation and in Teton
county as this season, according to
Charles H. Reifenrath, general man
ager of the Montana Record-Herald,
who has just returned from a visit
to those localities.
''The splendid weather has enabled
farmers to do more fall blowing than
ever BEFORE" said Mr. Reifenrath,
and they intend to continue breaking
the ground as long as the weather
permits. This will enable them to
plant their crops early next spring
and secure the most beneficial results
from the spring rains. II the season
is just fair, crops should be we'll
enough advanced by the time the
rain season ends to insure good
yield"
Mr.. Reifenrath says the Northern
Pacific branch from Dixon to Poison
has been completed to Roman and
will be completed into Poison next
month. 1t is expected regular train
service will begin about the first of
the wear.

STATE SAYS APLANT TREESl"
Impending Fuel Shortage Additional
Reason For Improving States
Waste Areas With Wood.

State Forester F. w. Besley. Balti-
more. has a word of advice for the
man who lives in the country. II IS:
To plant trees; and then more trees.
Backyard gardens are all very well
to grow the vegetables that 90 upon
the table, but they will be of very
little good if the woodshed and coal
bin are bare OF wherewithal 70 cook
them.
In the words Of Mr. Besley. there
are more than 600. 600 acres of land
in Maryland that have no economic
excuse for their existence, They are
absolutely non-productive so far as
any crop of value goes, and not only
are they valueless themselves, but in
the case OF said plains and marsh
areas the tendency is to seriously en-
croach upon the better lands beside
them There is just one thing that
they will produce now, with benefit to
the community and with profit to the
owners, and that is wood.
"The Board of Forestry realizes
this" Mr.. Besley goes on TO say, "and
has established in Prince Georges
County, Maryland, nursery for the
propagation of the better. standard
forest trees. We do not bother with
varieties OF supposed or predetermined
value, but are growing only those
kinds of forest and roadside trees
which we know by experience are best
fitted to reclaim waste areas. There
is sufficient variety at the State For
est Nursery White Pine. Scotch
Pine. Loblolly Pine, and Norway
Spruce, to Red Oak, Black Locust,
Black Walnut. Honey Locust. White
Ash and American Elm--to meet sue
cessfully any sort of planting condi-
ton in the State.
There are now about 10000 little
trees in large variety of suitable
kinds and sizes available at the act
ual cost of growing them. and we are
advising all who can do so. in this
part of Maryland, to set out as many
of the trees as possible. This is, of
course. not only thoroughly desirable
from the standpoint of shade and ma
tural attraction, but il is also OF great
worth commercially. The time is
coming when the fuel forest will have
rapidly increasing part to play in
the domestic, economic. and indus
trial life Of our couptry"

of Forestry is $50 North Howard ST.,

CARvEL HALL DANCE AS
A RED CROSS BENEFIT.
Management Of the HosteIry Permits
Proceeds From Saturdays Event
TO 90 to Society

Showing a spirit Of patriotism, the
management of Carvel Hall decided
to allow the members of the Annapo-
lis Branch of the Red Cross Society
TO conduct the usual Saturday after
noon dance at the hosiery and TO
take all Of the proceeds derived
therefrom as a benefit of the work of
the Society. Saturday was Red Cross
Day in the city anyhow, as a parade
wass held during the morning hours,
and it was very appropriate. for the
management of the hotel TO permit
the dance to be held as benefit.
Mrs Thomas W Kutrz, Mrs. H. B.
Mecleary. and other lady members or
the Society therefore took charge of
the arrangements and they were more
than active in collecting funds. Not
only did the Society. get the benefit Of
the admissions charged those who en-
gagged in the dancing, but virtually
everyone passing through the hotel
during the afternoon, was held up by
the ladies ard tagged" and each and
everyone came forward with coin
Of some denomination. 1t is under
stood that more than 500 was col
lected in course of the afternoons
entertainment, and in addition. the
members collected a total of $780,
during the parade. These funds were
solicited to provide Christmas pack
cts for the soldiers. and sailors OF the
nation engaged in the war, and it will
help eout considerable in the cause

Mrs. Murray Addresses Catskill
Equal Suffrage Club

Mrs. Spencer. Murray, of Annapolis,
Md. member of the Advisory Coun-
ell of the National Woman's Party,
yesterday afternoon spoke before the
Catskill Equal Suffrage Club at the
public library on the reason for pick
citing the White House, which has
been the policy of the National Wom-
ans Party since January l. Peace
full picketing, Mrs Murray said, was
made legal by the Clayton Federal
Act during the first year of President
Wilson's administration, and had the
approval of the latter This was done
at the instigation of the National Fed
Grafton of Labor, which had repeated
ly realized the value of picketing as
an advertising method In the opin-
ion of the National Woman's Party,
Mrs Murray declares, President Will
son is the one obstacle to complete
woman's suffrage in this country.
This lie has repeatedly demonstrated,
she argued by refusals to assist
either in the winning of the Federal
amendment enfranchising women or
in suffragist work in the various State
Legislatures. While his undoubted in
fluence with any matters which he
may choose to endorse has been am
ply demonstrated in any legislation
which he desires to put through. The
National Woman's Party had there
fore a double purpose in picketing.
First in calling attention to Presi
dent Wilson's opposition and second
in keeping the matter before the pub
lie.
Mrs. Murray explained what she
termed illegal arrests on empty streets
in Washington on charges of melting
riot and obstructing traffic of which
she was personally a witness and of
the shocking conditions in Occoquan
Jail, where various attachments of
picketers are serving sentence legal
ly or illegally given them for asking
political liberty. These sentences are
heavier than those given for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. In
conclusion, Mrs Murray pointed out
that the belief that picketing has in
JuTeQ the cause OF woman suffrage Is
not the case, since during the past
year there have been eight great stuff
rage victories in this country, namely,
Presidential suffrage in seven States,
including such great ones as Michi-
gan, Ohio and Rhode Island, and most
important of all, a special suffrage
committee appointed three weeks ago
in the House of Representatives at
Washington. Such criticism, Mrs.
Murray quoted, is best described by
the saying that picketing has alienated
a good many people from a cause in
which they never believed.
Mrs. Joseph Malcolm, President Of
the Catskill Equal Suffrage Club, pre-
sided at the meeting, which was held
in the lower room of the library build
ing. Mrs. Murray will be here for the
week, and announced that she would
speak in one of the local theatres and
that an outdoor meeting will also be
held.-Catskill Daily Mail

GOVERNOR TAKES RAP
AT MAYOR PRESTON
Calls Baltimore Executive Would. be
Dictator And Predicts His
Overthrow.

Governor Emerson G.. Harrington
and w. Gwynn Gardiner, Commits
sioner. of the District of Columbia
were the principal speakers az big
Democratic rally held at Hyattsville
Saturday night. Jackson II. Ralston
presided. Governor Harrington spoke
for over an hour, and declared that
the only issue in the campaign was
whether the people, irrespective of
politics. should uphold the hands of
President Wilson in his efforts to
bring victory to American arms and
end the greatest conflict in the history
of the world ut would be a damna-
BILE commentary upon the course of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton should the people of Prince
Georges County. in the very shadow
of Americas great capitol, turn down
the Democratic nominees and elect
the Republican State and county
ticket / do not believe that the peo-
pie of Maryland are going to condemn
the President and his colleagues in
this their hour of trial by defeating
the candidates in whom he cannot but
feel interested
The Governor paid his respects to
Maryor Preston of Baltimore, who, he
declared, had entered into compact
with Republicans to defeat the Demo-
cratic nominees because the plank in
the Democratic platform did not suit
his views On annexation. He said that
Mayor Preston had become dicta-
tor, and he vehemently declared that
the people of the State would never
stand for his dictatorship.
