Map Who Plants Tree Performs
Service Of Great Importance
to His Fellows

Trees are and have been intimately
associated with human life. Ruskin
called them a link between earth and
man, wonderful in their adaptation 10
his needs, desires and discipline. 1t
was in The Friendly Trees that Dr..
van Dyke wrote:
lie that planteth' a tree is the servant OF
God.
He provided a kindness for many gem
erations,
And faces that he hath never seen shall
bless him.
Probably the most highly priced
tree in the world is an avocado pear
tree in California. which returns an
annual income of $1,000. and was once
insured for $4,000. AS to trees in
general, immediate money returns SUI

generations had been landmark

first-class lumber, valued at $1,000.
There was no one TO cry "Woodman.

NOT POOLING THE PUBLIC

The old saying that you can
fool some OF the people all OF
the time and All Of the people
some Of the time, but you can't
fool all OF the people all OF the
time" is particularly appropriate
as TO the agitation fomented
against the Annapolis Water
Company. Ever since Mayor
Levy. then an Alderman, and two
other Aldermen, bolted the eau
Gus in the spring of 1918, which
selected a nominee for President
of the Company, and, joining
forces with the two minority
members of the City Council Gre
ated deadlock which they at
tempted to break by taking adj
vantage Of Counselor Rullman's
enforced absence in military serv-
ice. the people OF Annapolis and
vicinity have had a growing con-
viction that the public interest
was not the issue ut stake for
them but something infinitely
less.
The Water Company has al
ways been managed with at least
a fair degree of efficiency and
also prosperously, as results
show, and the form OF govern
ment adopted was carefully
thought out and in no small
measure directly contributed to
this.
At every turn, however. OBJ
stacles have been thrown in the
way OF the Company's progress
and the same hands have always
been easily discernible,
After having been finally
thwartcd at every move, the OBJ
structionists have recently taken
to the rather desperate eXpedient
of tampering with the funds OF
the Company. which. by law. are
expressly set aside for the special
purpose of providing for the
sinking fund and interest and
maintaining the plant The re
cent order OF the City Council
was to withdraw $4,000 of this
fund and use it for general city
purposes; Notwithstanding the
fact that the Directors OF the
Company (three of whom, con
siituting the majority. are mem
bers oil the municipal corpora
tom decided. in effect. that the
emergency fund OF the Company
was needed to maintain the
plant"
\ most transparent feature of
the whole campaign. however,
was the meeting OF the City
Council last night. called BY the
Mayor to receive the legal opin-
ion Of Counsellor Rullman as to
whether the City Council can
commander the Water Com
panys special funds for general
city purposes. 1t was perfectly
apparent, of course. that the sole
intention and object in assembling
the Council was not to receive
and consider the Counsellor's
opinion. because obviously that
could not be done off hand in
diligently. but simply to
"squelch" it as far as possible,
knowing as the obstructionists
must have known, chat the legal

grafton entirely. There are many ma
turalized Americans who. wish to
bring their families here and there
are other would-be Americans who
had not completed their citizenship
when they went back to their native
lands to take part in the war. Other
instances could be cited where hard
ships would be worked by the com,
plete suspension of immigration.
Many valuable lessons touching
this matter are to be had from the
war. It proved for the thing that
the great majority of aliens who
joined the loyalty to the govern-
ment. But there are many instances
on record showing where thousands
come merely for the money they
get, the larger part of which they
send home. This is to prove tough
proposition to handle so that desir-
able persons may come to our farm
land and undesirables kept out, and
congress is soon to tackle the job.

NO RECOGNITION

Assurances Must Be Given as To

Washington, Nov. 18.-Recogni-

held it was said today at the state de-
partment, until Mexico has made
clear the effect to be given to arti-
Gle 27 of the Mexican constitution re-
lating to property in Mexico.
Strong pressure for speedy recog-
milton is being Brought to bear on
the department by some business and
other interests, but a high officer
stated emphatically today. that no
corporation, no group of corporations
and no group of individuals was 60
ing to determine American recog-
nition.
The United States, officials ex-
planned, is actuated by desire to
protect American interests in the
Southern republic and in its study
of the whole situation has invited
and received from American corpora
tions and individuals having interests
in Mexico statements as to conditions
there and the present application of
Mexican laws.

OIL PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED

Washington, Nov. 18.-The world
oil problem, particularly the situa-
ton confronting America due to
conditions in Mexico and Europe's
search for additional sources of sup
ply was discussed here today at the
opening of the annual meeting Of
the American Petroleum institute.
W. C. Teagle, president of the
Standard Oil company, of New Jer-
sey, told the institute that "many
foreign governments are deliberate
ly placing obstacles in the way Of
those who would like to assist in the
development Of new sources of sup
ply" He was followed by Director
George Otis Smith of the United
States Geological survey, who sound
ed new warning that American
sources were rapidly being exhaust
ed.
Richard Airey, vice president Of
the Roxana Petroleum corporation
a British company, denied at the
night session that Great Britain was
attempting to monopolize the
worlds oil supply. The situation in
Mexico was described by Frederick
R. Pellogg, counsel for the Mexican
Petroleum corporation, who said A
merican oil men had gone into Mexi-
CO because "Mexico issued unmis,
taxable invitations to all the world
= to come and invest it's money, it's
brains and its labor in the oil indus
try" that, he said, entitled Ameri-
can producers to the protection Of
their government.
Mr.. Teagle pointed out that the
oil lands in he United States shave
been thrown open to the world, with
aliens as free to acquire production
as our own citizens"
Mr.. Airey said it would be impos-
sible for Great Britain to corner the
worlds oil supply; motives that
have been ascribed to Great Britain
Of seeking to create monopoly
over the potential oil lands of the
world are untenable," he declared.
Mr.. Smith decared that the known
American oil resources would last
only nine years and three months If
depended upon to furnish all the
power the country consumes.

CONGRESS FACES
BIG QUESTIONS
Problem Of immigration To Front
Dial Already Active

Washington, Nov. 1S.-One of
che first and most important ques-
lions affecting the people of the
Southern states which will come be-
fore congress soon after its assem-
6fing, will be that of whether more
immigrants those from Holland,
Belgium and other desirable Sec
sions-shall be admitted to the Uni
ed States or whether plans of GER
lain members of congress to further
restrict such entries shall prevail.
There are two districts fines of
thought prevalent as to this ques
tion.
Senator Dial of South Carolina, a
practical planter of many years ex-
perience, has. for sometime past
been conducting private negotiations
