The booze advocates in the Mary
land Legislature are making them
selves ridiculous by introducing all
manner of wet measures fathered by
the whiskey ring, and putting up a
grand bluff for cause that has long
been outlawed by public sentiment,
and that Federal enactment has
finally killed.
The puny efforts of these willing
tools of the wet ring can avail moth
ing against the Federal Constitutions
al Amendment, and will be but the
means of putting an end to any
further political ambitions they may
entertain.
Old John Barleycorn is a dead one,
and the frantic efforts of Maryland g
august wet legislators to pump a
little breath into his old hulk is more
amusing than anything else, as far
as the actual reviving of the corpse
is concerned.

The State Administration bill
carrying increases in salaries of pub
lie school teachers and other pledges
Of the Democratic State convention
last fall, was introduced in the
Senate Monday. The bill provides
that the minimum increase in sal
aries be equally divided between the
State and the counties. They aver
age 33 1-3 per cent. Any county is
at liberty to pay it's teachers as much
more than its minimum share as it
may wish.
In this bill, provision is made for
setting up so or Is one-teacher high
schools, to do two years standard
work, which will be credited in any
large institution. This provision
should afford increased educational
opportunities in small communities.
The amount expended for schools in
1919 was 100000, and this year
it will be the same. This sum repre-
sents II cents in the tax rate. The
amount recommended for 1921 and
1922 is $2,750,000, an increase of
about two cents on the tax rate.

Farm Wages Highest KNOWN.

At no time have the wage rates OF
farm labor heen as high in this
country as they were in 1919, GER
tainly as far back as 1866, when the
first investigation of this subject was
made by the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. Averages for the United
States are in mind, and not local
rates. For labor hired by the month
with board, the average rate was
$3.50, and among the geographic
divisions the average was as low as
$3O.54 in the South Atlantic and as
high as $62.96 in the Western. in
Guiding the Mountain and Pacific
States. Without board, the average
for the United States was S56.29
and the lowest was $44.03 in the
South Atlantic States and the high
est, $87,12, in the Western. Extras,
such as frewood, milk, ETC., are not
included.
Harvest wages per day with board
reached the top figure of $4.4S in
the North Central States west OF
the Mississippi River and the lowest
figure of $2.2S in the South Atlantic,
and the United States average was
1915. Without board, the United
States average of 1888 was most ex-
ceeded by 1888 in the former States,
while the latter States had the low
est average, $3.50.
: Statements in similar form for
day wages for work outside of har-
vest with board make the United
States average $2.45, that of the
North Central States west of the
Mississippi River 1922 and of the
South Atlantic States $1.S5; the
rates without board, in the same
order. were 1912, $4.03, and $2.S9.

Farm owners who have LETT their
farm to spend the winter in town or
in travelling are delaying the census
enumeration work to some extent,
according to information furnished

Agriculture by the Bureau of Census
This is especially true where the man
left in charge of the farm during the
absence of the owner is not familiar
enough with the facts to give the
correct answers Farmers who are
already living away from their farms
are urged to get in touch with the
enumerator or the supervisor for the

RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE
CECIL FARMERS CLUB.



Goes On Record Against Race Track
Gambling-Urges More Stringen
Marriage Law.
At a meeting of the Cecil Farmers
Club held January 21st, 1920, at the
home of Mr.. John S. Cullen, Rising
Sun, Md, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Inasmuch as it is the well con-
sidered and unalterable opinion Of
the. Cecil Farmers Club of the State
of Maryland, that the race track,
with the attending gambling and the
train of other evils which inevitably
follows race track gambling, consti-
tutes the most insidious evil that Is
practiced under the laws of THIS
state, initiating as it does against
all habits of thrift and economy so
necessary in this time, and against
sober and we'll balanced citizenship
at all times, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Cecil Farmers
Club publicly put themselves on
record as being strongly opposed to
every person, instrument, and in
fiuence that countenances, encOur-
ages, or in any way seeks the con-
tinuance of the race track evil for
the purpose of securing taxes, assess
ments, or for any purpose whatever;
and on the other hand, believing that
the State honor is being endangered
and bid for, that said Club as pub
licly declare that they stand ready at
all times to aid and support any
measures which seek In lawful man
ner to remove this curse from
among us.
Also Resolved, by the Cecil Farm
ers' Club, That it deplores the failure
of the Maryland Legislature to give
relief desired by the citizens of Cecil
County to the Gretna Green condi-
ton prevailing at Elkton, Md, and
other border towns of Maryland.
Resolved, That we urgently
petition the Legislature now in ses-
sion to pass the Eppler bill, which
requires ninety-six hours residence
of nonresident parties after issuance
of marriage license before the cere-
mony, and the change of age limit
for females to Is years.
Resolved: That copy OF these
resolutions be sent to the Cecil Dele
CATION in the Legislature requiring
their earnest cooperation and sup
port to pass the proposed bill. or any
other bill which will remove the
stigma placed upon the good name Of
Elkton, Cecil County, and the whole
State by the condition now prevail
ing at Elkton and bringing reproach
and ridicule upon our State and
County.

The Cecil Farmers Club, tn

The Cecil Farmers Club, that
representative body of our citizens
that is ever for progress, at its last
meeting passed strong resolutions
condemning race track gambling and
pledging support to any lawful
measures that will kill the evil in
our State.
The lax marriage law is also de-
plored and the passage of the pend
ing Eppler bill urged. This bill re-
quires residence of ninety-six hours
in our State by prospective brides
and grooms, and changes the age
limit for females to 10 years.
The resolutions will be found else

1t is a venerable body, owning the
Governor Swami Mansion at 105 w
Franklin St., Baltimore. Since 1877
the most distinguished names OF
MARYLAND have been on its member
ship rolls, and the honored among
colonial families were its organizers.
Here is an institution capable OF
good service. 1t is State Institu-
ton, and Maryland is in it's name.
Notable work has been done at the
Academy, and of past services much
could be written, but the principal
interest considers what is being done
today.
Recently new Curator and Direc-
tor of Activities was elected, DR..
Francis C. Nicholas, who has
brought the membership up to near
ly five hundred, and is daily increas-
ing useful activities, and the number
of people interested.
Among recent activities Petro-
leum Section has been organized
under the direction of DR.. Arthur b.
Bibbins, late of the Maryland and
United States Geological Surveys.
There are indications of oil in Mary.
land, and these are to be mapped and
studied by competent chemists and
biologists. People who have seen
suggestions of Oil, seepages of oily
matter in the ground, oil floating on
water persistently or oil in water
from wells are requested to send the
information, and if pOssible'a sample
of the material.
Other resources of the State are to
be surveyed, clays, ores, minerals
medicinal springs, forests, quarries,
natural resources, all the products OF
the State, that their worth may be
made known, and the benefits of
progressive development attained.
The exhibits at the museum of tine
Academy attract many people, and ii
is a worthy act for residents of the
State to take a pride in, and see that
the places where they live are well
represented in the collection, so that
people may see, and know, when
they visit this city, thinking of OPP
portunities to locate on farms, or to
establish industries.
In order to place the work on an
efficient basis 1t is desired to locate
Chapters of the Academy in all the
cities, and at the centres of agricul-
-tural activity. 1t is urged by dis
tinguished men, interested in this
movement, that people throughout
the State should become members
of the Academy, and participate in
its advantages. Full corporate joint
owner membership with a place in
all its activities costs $500 per an
mum. Associate non-voting mem
bership, $3.50 per year, gives the
owner all the rights in correspond
ence, with the privilege of using the
Academy as headquarters when in
Baltimore. Corresponding member
ship; $1.O0 per year, entities the
holder to all the privileges in cor
respondence, and the right to, send
to the Academy for information as
often as may be desired. 1t is hoped
that many people will take one or
