New Silver Coins For Distribution.

The first instalIment of the new half
dollar silver coins has been received at
the subtreasury and distribution has
begun to the public. AS the amount
received is insufficient to make disburse-
ments in unlimited amounts Tot more
than five dollars will be given to any one
applicant.
The design of the new money Is very
attractive. On one side is the Goddess
of Liberty carrying in her left arm a
sheaf of plenty and above her extend
ed left arm appear the stars represent
ing the Is original states. Facing the
figure from below the horizon is the
rising sun and Immediately opposite is
the inscription, In God We Trust.
Below are the figures 1916 and sur
rounding the Goddess is the word
Liberty, the letters forming semi
circle.
On the opposite side is the Ameri-
can eagle with wings outspread. Above
scroll work near the rim appears +
| Pluribus Unum. Above the eagle is
the inscription United States of
America, and below the denomination
| of the coin.
Figures and inscriptions stand out
in bold relief they being raised in
stead of sunk, the surface being slight
ly depressed, but not sufficient to inter
| fere with the stacking of the coin.
1t is understood that the new quar-
ter will make its appearance some time
| this month This is known as the
preparedness coin on which Liberty
appears carrying shield.

Scientific Cutting Of Trees.

The Maryland State Board of For
estry, of which F. w. Besley is the
head, has ambitious plans in view for
1917 1t is seeking closer co operation
with owners of woodlands with view
of the cutting of only such timber that
is ripe for the axe, thus aiding the
younger growth and at the same time
keeping US supply of timber.
When experts furnished by the state
board on request cast their eyes over
woodland they can tell at glance the
trees which should be cut to prevent
decay. 1t is a singular fact that a de-
caying tree or limb, in contact with a
live and healthy cree can communicate
its dying properties to the latter.
A most important phase of the state
boards activities since its creation 10
years ago has been in the field of CO.
operative forest work. If a man owned
10 or 1000 acres of Maryland woodland,
no matter where it was in what con-
dition, that man might avail himself of
the state forester's service in scientifi-
cally improving it. If the stand were
old, past ripeness, in fact, he was shown
how to make profitable improvement
cutting in it, ana to put it back to nor
NAL growing condition.
About year ago the owner of about
Is acres of good quality timber lying in
Prince Georges county availed himself
of the boards offer and forester from
the office of the board visited the tract.
The trees, he saw, We're mature and
| ready for the ak. Regarding their
value, the owner had no idea, nor
whether they should be cut at all. So
the trees needing removal for the good
of the younger specimens around them
were selected and marked bv the fores-
| ter and valuation placed upon them
as they stood. The estimate of the
number of trees for sale being sent to
| list of mill and timber men furnished
| by the forester it was not great
while before disposal of them was
made. Some six months subsequent to
the visit of the forester the marked
trees, oak and of good quality, were
sold for $1,000. The work had cost the
owner for the services of the state
S1.25.
| The rate per diem is not intended to
reimburse the office of the forester for
the work it is doing. 1t is aimed, rath-
err, at placing this work within the
reach of many woodlot and forest
owners, enabling the board, on its part,
to do a greater lot of work than could
possibly be the case by using its funds
only. Through the cooperative way
| in which it is done the state itself is
willing to practically pay half for do
| ing private work. Those able to take
advantage of expert assistance on such
terms should be sure to get their half.

Farmer Students Attend Short Course

Farmer Students Attend Short Course
College Park, Nd, Jan. 4.-Begin.
ming last Tuesday, the annual winter
short courses of the State College of
Agriculture opened with an en-,
thusiastic attendance Of farmers who
are studying their soil needs and
methods of handling crops. During
the coming week, January S-13, they
will devote their time to discussing
the money crops of the State and find
ing out how they can best effect soil
improvement along with the produc.
ton of paying crops.
The relation of these crops to the
elements contained in the air and soil
will be discussed. Explanation will
be given of how a plant feeds, and OF
the food products it yields. Questions
like, what is my land good for?'
'What can it best producer" will be
asked and answered as correctly as
| possible.
Attention is given to seed selection,
the Judging of grains, and the planting
of improved varieties. Special lectures
are devoted to corn, wheat, oats,
alfalfa, clovers and forage crops. The
preparation of land for these crops;
their cultivation and harvesting, with
a view to economical production and
the saving of labor waste, are taken up
thoroughly.
Weeds, their nature, and how to get
rid of them; insects and diseases af-
fecting farm crops, are included. After
many years experience, the farmer
may have learned already much OF
what is taught in this course, but he IS
sure to find out many things that he
does not know, and which he cannot
afford to waste time in discovering
for himself.

INCOME TAX LAW

Every citizen of the United
States and every alien residing
within the United States having
for the year 1916 a net income
of So, 600 or over, including divi-
dends and income on which the
tax has been withheld at the
source, is required on or before
March 1, 1917, to make a return
on form 1O4O, revised. Such re-
turn is required regardless of
the fact that in some instances
the net income amounts to less
than the personal exemption to
which the Individual is entitled.
Every individual of lawful age
is required to render his return
in person where practicable, or
through an agent where illness,
absence, or nonresidence makes
a personal rendering of the re-
turn possible.
Every individual who during
the year 1916 pays salary, inter-
est, rental, etc., to another per-
son in excess of So, ZOO is requir-
ed to withhold 1 per cent from
the entire amount paid unless an
exemption certificate is filed, in
which case the tax should be
withheld, only on the amount
paid in excess of the exemption
claimed. Return of the amount
withheld should be made on
Form 1912.
All taxable income should be
reported gross except income
from partnership or fiduciaries,
which should be reported net.
The returns must be made be-
tween December 81 and March
l, and many seek to get the
matter off their minds and out
of the way as speedily as poss-
ible; The amendment act and
the revised Treasury regulations
have made important changes in
the law, of which the following
are pertinent:
/. Returns must be made for
all incomes over $1,000, even
though consisting in whole or
part of dividends for stock.
2. The $4,000 specific exemp-
tion now applies to all heads of
families.
8. The increased tax rates
are retroactive, while the with
holding provision is not.
These are a few of the new
provisions upon which all should
be posted, as incorrect returns

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 a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inf1amed 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 an
infamed 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
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists,

TO ASK RETURN OF FEES

Acknowledgement Richie has
been instructed by the Board OF
Public Works to ascertain from
Secretary of State Simmons and
his predecessors whether they
would return to the State the
fees collected and retained by
them, which, according to the
acknowledgements opinio
should have been paid by them
to the State. The instructions
were given in the following reso-
luton, which was adopted unani-
mously:
Resolved, That the Attorney
General be instructed to take up
with the present Secretary of
State and all former Secretaries
of State the payment to the
State Treasurer of all fees paid
them which may be due the State
of Maryland, and to report to the
Board of Public Works the result
of his efforts.
The men chiefly affected by
the action of the board are the
present Secretary, Thorn. W.
Simmons; Robert P. Graham,
who served under Governor
Goldsborough; N. Winslow Will
liams, who served under Gov
ernor Crothers. and - Oswald
Tilghman, who served under
Governor Warfield. Wilfred Bate
man, who served under Gov. John
Walter Smith, is dead. Ais fees
are said to have been very small,
if, indeed, they amounted to any
thing after payment of expenses.
Richard Dallam, who served
during part of the administration
of Governor Lowndes, the pre-
decessor of Governor Smith, said
recently that he received only
the salary of $4,000, and the
salary paid as secretary of the
Board of Public Works, which as
he recalled, then was 5000.
Mr.. Simmons recently gave
out a statement that he would
abide by the opinion of Mr..
Richie that he was not entitled
to retain the fees of his office,
unless Mr.. Richie was reversed
by the courts. 1t is understood
that he will do so as to future
receipts, but will not return the
fees already received by him un-
less the courts so order.
