II the newly acquired Maryland Ex-
ira Session habit persists It isn't un-
likely that Governor Harrington will
call in some painter to put NO Extra
Sessions Granted Today In bold let
ters on card and hang the card on
his Office door. Or. II this isn't done.
il may be necessary to establish as
part Of the State government a Bu-
reau for the Handling Of Requests for
Extra Legislative Sessions.
The Governor is getting all sorts OF
requests to call the States lawmakers
into special session for this purpose or
that, every request insisting that the
need is urgent and that Maryland sure.
ly Will go TO the bow-wows II the pub
lie has to wait until the first Of Janu-
ary, 1920, for the august body to get
down to the affairs Of state. SO far
the Governor has not been impressed
by the pleas of urgent need, and an
extra session isn't likely; but tina.
doesn't stop the requests from flowing
In. It's getting to be a safe bet now
that, whenever some particular propo-
sition is under discussion, some one
will calmly suggest Lets have an ex.
ira session" just as if he were saying.
Let's take walk around the block"
An extra session is simple thing to
suggest.
The FIRST request that came TO the
Governor was from the suffragists. and
they drew on the national Government
to strengthen their plea. getting Attor.
ney-General Palmer to put in bid for
them. The Governor was adamant.
however
Then along came H. c. L. and the
startling discovery by Federal, State
and municipal officials that a dollar
wasn't purchasing very much these
days. When Governor Harrington an,
nounced he was going after the prob
lem. the first thing he heard was:
"Call an extra session to settle It,"
But he's not going to do that. at least
unless he changes his mind
Howard Bryant got tired Of answer
ing all the letters and talking to all
the callers about rent profiteering. so
he thought an extra session might
help the matter out. and he wrote TO
the Governor accordingly. Governor
Harrington was at Cambridge. and he
said he hadn't received Mr. Bryant's
request yet but it isn't likely that
he'll grant that one either.
The Governor said that, despite the
several requests for extra sessions for
different purposes, he had been un-
able to find much sentiment SO far for
calling the legislators together ahead
Of schedule. and. outside Of the suf.
fragists, very little pressure has been
brought to bear in order to secure the
call.
So, while the requests may continue.
Maryland is probably doomed to wait
until January l before her State solons
get down to the business of soloning.

Better Sires At Less Cost
Three pure bred sires instead
of six or eigth common to
inferior ones. Less expense per
cow.
Bruno farmers start definite
livestock improvement for the
whole community by organizing
bull association with three
breeding blocks and a pure bred
sire for each block. The total
cost per COW per year is $3.50 as
compared to So to $40 per COW
where each farmer owns his sire
for a herd of eight. See another
article in this issue on the cost
of keeping a sire.
Each block consists of a, group
of fairly close neighbors who own
from Is to 36 cows and one far
mer in the group is paid by the
association for keeping the sire.
If the herds were larger or more
numerous, so to go cows could
be handled at the same total
expense but the expense per cow
would be lowered considerably.
The members of the association
pay to the association an assess
ment based on the total cows in
the three blocks and determined
by the board of directors who
are responsible for purchasing
and maintaining a good sire in
each block. This assessment is
for the purchase and maintain
ance of the sires and is only on
the cows the member signs up
to have bred. He cannot have
more cows bred than he signs up
for and he must pay for the
number he signs up for. If he
wants to breed more he can see
the directors and sign up for the
extra cows.
At the end Of the first year
he signs up again according to
the number of cows he wants to
breed the second year. But the
se~f nd years assessment will be

BUILD 4 BUILDING
Build a Building"

Build a Building"
That's to be the slogan
throughout the country during
the coming spring and summer
months. And there's a reason,
and good one!
No building other than was
absolutely necessary was built
last year. Government restric-
tions, made necessary by the war
emergency, practically stopped
all construction work. Now
these restrictions have been re-
moved and there are many
reasons why building plans
should be revived and carried
out as speedily as possible. The
buildings are needed, their con.
struction will add to the general
prosperity of the community and,
last but not least. the work will
provide employment for the sol.
diers who are now being dis.
charged. Askov should not and
undoubtedly will not be behind
other communities in this partic.
ular. Many residents were
planning new homes or other
buildings, or improvements or
old buildings when war put ar
end to these activities. Now
there is no reason why these
plans should not be revived and
as stated above. there are man,
reasons why they should be car
ried out.
New Home Building Department
For the benefit Of its man,
readers who will want to make
building plans during the nex'
few months, the American ha,
established a new Home Building
department. It will be found ol
another page Of this issue. Oh

Government Behind Movement
The United States government
itself is behind this Build q

b. Wilson. secretary Of labor. is-
sued a statement recently, call
ing on individuals as well as
state and municipal authorities
to begin at once the building
projects that had been stopped
to release labor and materials
for war purposes. Secretary
Wilson summed up the situation
when he said:
Lack Of dwelling accommoda-
tions and lack Of public convc-
niences in the way Of roads,

bridges and public buildings are
a serious detriment at this time,
when we are anxious to pass

and equally serious side, how

Of building activities many Of
our returned soldiers who are
skilled in various building trades
will find themselves out Of en-
ployment on their return to this
country.

Materials and labor Plentiful
It is apparent that there will
be no dearth of either materials
or labor for the building that is
necessary during the next year
or two. As a starter the United
States Steel corporation has an

Unrest in Scandinavia
The most important news
received from the three Scandi-

week concerns the uninterrupted
progress of what is generally
spoken of as Bolshevism. All
reports agree that the danger
threatening from both Russia
and Germany has developed into
an actual and very serious
menace, and while this is said to
be particularly true in Denmark,
government officials in Sweden
and Norway are not unmindful
Of the catastrophe which may be
imminent in their own countries.
1t is reported that the Bolshe-
visit agitation in Denmark is
the indirect cause of
the resignation of the Zahle
cabinet which took place last
week. King Christian has been
comforting with various party
leaders with a view to preserve
harmony at this most critical
time in the country's history,
and has firmly asserted that he
will appoint no premier who is
not in agreement with a majority
of the Folketing. Herman Trier,
