Black-eyed Susan Is State Flower
By Official Act.

The Black-eyed Susan has been lifted
to place of prominence by the General
Assembly Of Maryland. 1t has been de-
clared the official flower of the State. and
hereafter its presence will have some sig
nificance.
This action was taken by the State Leg
islators, but not without battle. for there
were many who favored the goldenrod. But
the Black-eyed Susan. with its yellow
petals and black center. the colors of Mary
land. had every advantage.
Delegate Mitchell, of Hartford county. in
troduced bill several weeks ago making the
eoldenrod the official flower Of Maryland.
It passed the House Of Delegates, but when
it reached the Senate Senator Bomberger
suggested that goldenrod be struck out and
that Black-eyed Susan be inserted in its
place. His suggestion was carried. and
after the revised bill had passed that branch
it was sent back to the lower house. The
House concurred in the action Of the SEN
ate and thus the insignificant flower that
is to be found in all sections Of the State
became the official flower Of Maryland.

The Third Liberty Bond Sale.
Q Residents Of MONTGOMERY County: :

To Residents of Montgomery County:
The drive to sell three billion dollars of
Liberty Bonds, bearing interest at 4 Ia
per cent, opens April 6, 1918. and Mont
eomery county will be called upon to take
$300,000. To do this it will be neces-
sary for thorough cooperation between
the banks of the county, which are re-
quired to sell the bonds, and the residents
of the county, who are expected to buy
the bonds.
During the previous drives to sell the
first and second Liberty Loans a number
of residents of the county purchased bonds
in Washington, Baltimore and Frederick
for which Montgomery county got no credit.
The populous and wealthy communities
are always able to over-subscribe their al
lotments, while the rural sections lag be-
hind.
appeal to all residents of Montgomery
county to place their subscriptions to the
coming Liberty Loan through one of the
banks in the county. Any of the follow
ing banks will be very glad to receive and
handle your subscription without charge

Jesse D. Price now represents the district.
Few suppose he will be willing to let 60

State Senator Andrews, of Dorchester,

In Southern Maryland. State Senator
Duvall is in receptive attitude so far as
the Democratic nomination is concerned.
This district Is represented by Sydney E.

try to keep on representing it. The Mudd
family seems to have a grip in Southern
Maryland that is hard to break.
Western Maryland is being brought to
the front by the gossips. Congressman
Zihlman now holds down the seat to which
this section is entitled. He may have
trouble in the primaries, but his friends
are counting strong on putting him over.
Two years ago his Democratic opponent
was H. Dorsey Etchison. Mr.. Etchison is
trying for a second nomination. Frank

necessary to charge cents per BUSH
ell for oats and cents per bushel
for wheat Labor is much higher,
the operator must carry insurance

over so per cent.
Mr.. Gleason presented the farm
ers' side of the question, saying that
the price received for wheat this year
Is 1-20 more than that received last
year while the threshermen have set
the price at an increase of 1T over
that of last year. The cost of bind
ing has increased 75 Gems per acre,
machinry and repairs have increased
in like proportion, twine has doubl-
ed In price and the farmers main
tain that the price of and cents as
set by the threshermen is unfair and
unjust.
