PROPOSES Memorial Highway.

Senator Metzrott, of Prince Geor-
ge's county, proposes a memorial in
honor of Maryland's soldiers and
sailors who lost their lives in the
World War, in the form Of a high
way. His proposal is to widen the
boulevard between Baltimore and
Annapolis. From the Hanover Street
Bridge, one of the finest Apr caches
to Baltimore to the proposed new
bridge across the Severn near An
napolis is a distance of approximate
ly twenty-three miles, or mile for
each county of the State. There
would be a general plan of beautify-
ing the highway by the planting OF
trees, shrubbery and flowers, but
each section would be given some
distinctive treatment representative
of the county it represents by the
erection of markers, monuments and
other special features. This would
be living memorial, growing more
beautiful each year.
The proposed memorial highway
is already an improved State road,
traversing a most picturesque part of
the country. AS this section is. not
highly developed 1t would not be
difficult to widen the roadway, which
beautified as proposed would consti-
tute one of the most beautiful and
attractive drive-ways in the country.

MARYLAND FARM ACCOUNT
BOOK.
Issued BY Extension Service-May
Be Had From County Agent.

Issued BY Extension Service-May
Be Had From County Agent.
The Extension Service has pre-
pared a Maryland Farm Account
Book" which will be distributed
through the County Agents to those
farmers DESTROYS of keeping sys.
tematic record of farm operations.
For the present account books
will consist of a number Of pages OF
mimeographed sheets perforated and
bound in manila covers in such a
way that additional sheets may be
added as circumstances may require.
These sheets are ruled to suit the
requirements of the several depart.
ments of the farm accounts. Thus
there is a page showing the name
and address of the farm operator,
the location of the farm, the inven-
tory of real estate, improvements,
etc. Other pages show inventories
of live stock, machinery, feeds and
farm supplies. A limited number of
sheets are ruled to show Farm ex-
penses" covering labor, feeds, inn
provements, machinery, repairs, live
stock and other expenses. Other
sheets exhibit Farm receipts such
as crops, live stock, milk, etc. Final
ly, there is page summarizing the
years business. On this page the
farmer may make a record of the
total receipts from each Of his prin.
cipal crops or products, increases in
the inventory values of land, build
ings, livestock, machinery, etc., and
can show at the same time the vari-
GUS items of expense, such as labor,
feeds, machinery, improvements, re-
pairs, decreases in inventory values,
etc.
For some time it has been deemed
desirable to have records covering
the cost of farm operations in this
State. The difficulty has been to
induce farmers to take the time to
keep the necessary records. Within
the past few years the extended dis
cussion of the cost of production OF
various farm products in its relation
to the cost of living has led many
farmers to feel the need of accurate
records of their business.
The preparation of income-tax re-
turns has made it necessary for a
considerable number of farmers to
have available accurate data cover
ing their farm operations. 1t is
therefore, believed that the MARY
land Farm Account Book" will fill a
need of farmers at this particular
time.

STATE GROWN TREES FOR
PLANTING.
Can Be Had From State Board OF
Forestry.

Can Be Had From State Board OF
Forestry.
With the approach of spring the
topic of trees is frequently discussed
There will be more forest and road
side planting this year than ever be-
fore according to present indications.
Many inquiries have been received
by the State Board of Forestry, SIS
Calvert Building, Baltimore, by
those who want to plant memorial
trees, by others who are anxious to
plant rows of trees for windbreaks TO
temper the cold west and northwest
winds, and many others shade trees
along the roadways. A few are
making arrangements to plant some
of their idle or waste land in forest
trees. Whatever the needs, the
State Board of Forestry is ready to
help in advice regarding the selec-
ton of trees and method of planting,
and in furnishing the trees at actual
cost.
The trees range in size and price
from inch pines at less than half
cent apiece, up to pines 7 feet tall at
so cents apiece, and from oak trans
plants from 10 inches at 2 cents.
apiece to ash and elm trees Is feet
tall at 65 cents each. Between these
extremes are trees of many varieties
and sizes selected because of their
suitability for the different soils and
the different purposes of planting
throughout the State of Maryland.
They include two kinds of pine, Nor
way spruce, cypress, three kinds of
oak, ash, elm, black walnut, two
kinds of maple, pecan, Oriental
plane, two kinds of locust, ginko
and other trees suitable for forest or
roadside planting.
The State Nursery has proven to
be one of the most popular branches
of the Forestry Department and has
done much toward promoting tree
planting throughout the State.
Since establishing the nursery the
demand for State grown stock has
exceeded the supply, necessitating
extensions at two different times.
Some stocks are low but the policy
of first come first served" wil3 pre-
vail while they last.

All persons found violating the
federal prohibition enforcement act
will be proceeded against to the
"limit of the law" irrespective of ahy
state statues legalizing the sale OF
liquors, is announced by Commits
sioner Roper, of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau.
Mr.. Roper's ruling resulted from
the bill before the New Jersey legis-
lature legalizing the sale and manu-
facture of beer containing 8 " per
cent of alcohol.
"The bureau of Internal Revenue
is charged with the enforcement OF
the national prohibition act" he
said. st definitely prohibits the
manufacture and sale for beverage
purposes of all liquors containing
half per cent or more of alcohol by
volume. This being the care, the
manufacture and sale of 8 " per
cent beer, which is permitted by the
bill in New Jersey legislature, is in
direct violation of the federal
statute. All persons, therefore, who
are found guilty of this violation OF
the federal statute will be proceeded
against to the limit of the law

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware OF
a cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs. lowers
the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases, People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs OF
consumption, diphtheria, car e
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has great reputation as a
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant to take.

This week has been a lively one at
Annapolis where the race-track ques-
ton has kept our legislators on the
anxious bench, between two fires
the race track people with their
revenue" and the wrath of the peo-
pie back home; then too that prohi-
bition amendment that the Baltimore
distillers and brewers are doing
their best by bluff and buster to dis
credit, is worrying a number.
The bill to apply the Volstead act
to Maryland will be reported un-
favorably. Then will come an at
tack by the Anti-Saloon League and
more word from back home for
those who line up with the Baltimore
vets, who are trying to dictate legis-
lation to the weakened.
The State Administration meas
ures, including that for loans and
improvements of roads, will also be
before the Legislature.
The Baltimore city delegation will
report favorably the bill to permit
moving picture theatres to open Sun
day afternoons. 1t contains refer
endum. It is practically certain
now that the soldiers bonus bill
will not die in committee. 1t is
anything but certain that the bill,
providing a large bond issue will
pass. The bill provides direct in
heritance taxes and an increase in
the collateral inheritance taxes.
