PAYING WAR BILLS

Anyone who thinks that this war is
going to leave us saddled with heavy
debt for a generation has not looked
into the matter carefully. A little
study of the war bills shows that,
heavy as they are. they are not so large
as most persons suppose, and that they
are being taken care of with surpris-
ing speed and comparative ease.
Official estimates from Washington
make our total war expenditure up to
June 30. 1919. about sSO,OO0.OOO, 900.
We paid off 100000. 900 of that in
Federal taxes last spring. We shall
pay off s6.O00,o00.000 more assessed
for the calendar year of 191S-next
spring and summer. That leaves only
$4,000. 100000. Half OF that sum may
legitimately be deducted because it
consists of loans made to our allies.
which will be repaid If the war should
be declared officially ended by the mid
die of next summer. we should then
find ourselves with only 100000
100000 war debt.
The Treasury Department estimates
that the Governments expenses. most
ly for war purposes, for the following
fiscal year. ending June 30, 1920, will
be S5.000,O00.000. That is evidently
expected TO take care of winding up
the war-the garrisoning of enemy
countries. the last considerable trans
portation of war material and demobi-
lization of troops. etc. Subsequent
war expenditures should be almost
negligible.
That makes. then. total of SIS
o00, 100000 to pay after next June.
II is what we shall owe ourselves. as
holders of American war bonds. If
we choose to continue paying taxes at
the average rate of these two active
war years, we could pay of that en-
tire balance in less than three years
after the end of the war.

GERMANY AND THE PEACE LEAGUE

II the peace conference succeeds in

is the organization of a permanent
League of Nations for Peace, Germany
will naturally be admitted--if she
qualities
The late enemy OF all mankind can
not expect TO he received into char
ter membership, along with the
United States. France, Britain and
Italy. merely on the strength of her
profession that she has reformed and
is now democratic and peace-loving.
The principles and program of the
league will be established without adj
vice from her. II she has created an
orderly and dependable government,
she will then be admitted to member
ship on terms prescribed absolutely
by the Allied governments.
Once in the federation, we may as
sumo that there will be no discrimina-
ton among members, any more than
there is among the States of our
Union, or among members of social
club. But it is necessary that the
membership rules should be laid down
by nations that have proved them
selves champions of democracy and
peace, and that the acid test should
be applied to any candidate for men,
bership whose history and antecedents
are questionable.

FALL TREATMENT OF TREES

Whether you live in the city,
suburbs or in the country and have
one or many fruit trees, the following
advise by County Agent Whiteford is
applicable.
The great loss of fruit trees in this
county is caused more by ground rats
and mice, than any other one thing,
and a few minutes work to each tree
will usually protect from the damage
caused by these pests.
The treatment in such cases is to
remove from the base of all the trees
for radius of one to three feet, all
grass, weeds, or other underground,
dig up the land and leave loose, this
will discourage the ground mouse and
If few shovels of coal ashes be
placed around the base of the tree in
addition to the above treatment which
will also assist in tightening the soil
and discouraging the mice, and the
losses by girdling during the winter
will be placed at a minimum.
Treatment for peach trees at this
time consists in digging around the
trees to a depth of four to six inches
and carefully taking out all worms or
borers which are found imbeded in the
trunk of the tree just below the ground
level, and whose presence are indi-
Gated by deposit of wax or gum on
the base of the tree, practically all
peach trees are troubled with borers,
and this causes the decline and loss of
more peach trees than any or all
other troubles and diseases. After
taking out the borers, mound up the
trees slightly and do not bother them
until spring.

date, TO Succeed Governor Harring-
ton.
The presence in Baltimore of many
prominent county politicians and Office
holders, as well as other leaders Of
both par les from the counties. caused
considerable amount of discussion
this week, and candidates for the large
number of Offices to be nominated and
elected next year, from the Governor
down to county and city officials, were
talked over wi h great interest Now
that the war is practically over, in
terest in home affairs will come to the
front once more, and from this time
on the public will show more and more
concern as TO the men who are to be
placed in the front as candidates for
the places which come closest to the
material and moral welfare of the
home people. in the counties, the city
and the state. People generally are
tired of the long and weary war dis
cussions, and are in glad relief read
lily turning to home matters of vital
interest, and are welcoming any ex-
cuse to talk about other things besides

Candidates for all the Offices to be
filled next year bid fair to exceed in
number all former records. This is
especially the case in regard to the
Democratic nomination for the gov
ernorship. OF course there are always
nomination, who would have no chance
whatever in a fight, and the contest
in the end usually narrows down to
two or three, but it is we'll that the
people of the state should know who
are willing to serve, and their quail

dates, but also, and what is of much
greater importance. their qualifica-
tons for the work of the office should

polls next November. And all the in
dications now are that the people of
both parties will see to IL that none
but really able and fully qualified men
will be nominated-for the leaders

second-rate man for Governor to run
against man of superior ability and
fi.ness, will go down to defeat at the
polls.

"This was recommended after the
