 N MERICA'S automotive production
 LA\ during 1919 broke all records. = = More motor vehicles were manu- factured and the total value of the year. s output was s1,s07 7594, ,5so. a substantial increase over the previous high total registered in 1917. Add to this the whole sale value of bodies and accessories and the automotive industry's products for 1919 passes the s2,00o 0oo, 600 mark With the increased business in prospect, the National Automobile Chamber of Com merce reports that the business of motor manufacturing during this year will rank second to steel
 That motor vehicles are increasing in practical service is evidenced by the fact that the greatest increase in produc- ton was in trucks. During last year a total of 305, ,142. freight or express motors were built as compared with the previous high record in 1918 of 227, 800. Figures also show that gasoline wagons are sup planting old dobbin and the shay, for the largest percentage of increase in registration of cars during the last two years have been in agricultural sections.

Rabbits seem to be more plen- tiful tha nusual and I attribute this to the fact that shells are very high and negroes are not buying them in such numbers as heretofore.

''It is interesting to note how much can be realized from crops where the yproper care and cultivation is given" stated Jerry Gwin yesterday. 'T have received the report Of Ben Sims, su- perintendent of the county farm, who states that during the past year the net proceeds from the crops hogs and milk, amounted to s5612.50. Figuring the size of the farm. this amounts to a profit of $100 per acre Thirty-five tons of hay brought $105o, which is one item of the report that was inter- esting. The produce raised brought s9S60.50. while the expenses of the farm were SPAS. This IS a splendid showing and should open the eyes of many who do not know what can be made on good cultivated land"

WOUNDS
WOUNDS

For all general purposes, wounds
may be classified under five general
heads: First, INC1SED, such as
sharp knife or razor would inflict.
Second, LACERATED, where the
flesh is torn apart, as by fish hook
barbed wire, or the jagged edges of
tin can. Third, PUNCTURED, a
wound greater in it's depth than it's
width, as by stepping upon an up
turned nail in board, falling on a
spike and piercing the hand, or a
silver running in deep. Fourth,
POISONED, such as a rattlesnake
bite, or that of the bite of dag or
other animal with rabies. Fifth,
GUNsHOT WOUNDS. Never ne
glect a trivial (?) wound, as so often
blood poisoning comes from just
such cuts, chafings or scratches, so
never "take chance on those, but
rather do something for it since ''it's
better to be safe than sorry.
All serious wounds call for i'm
mediate medical treatment, but if
the hospital is too far off or the doc
tor is likely to be long in coming,
something must be done in the way
of first aid for the good of the patient
But there are some Important dont's
to keep in mind:
Don't wash the wound with water.
No unboiled water is clean, and es-
pecially wound on which the blood
is clotted.
Don't touch wound with the fin
gers or any instrument which has
not been steralized. Don't cut away
torn skin which is hanging loose.

The LAND OFFICE IS
SOURCE OF REVENUE
Commissioner }. ). Shepherd Turns
Funds Into State Treasury-De-
mandS For Vacant Lands.
Bureau of The Baltimore Amer
1 L,

Bureau of The Baltimore Ameri-
can. Annapolis, March 81.
Land Commissioner James S. Shep-
herd has paid into the State Treas
ury for the six months ending Mch.,
81, 1920, the sum of S2,OS9.96.
This is the largest sum received by
any former commissioner for the past
tWenty-eight years and with one eX-
ception the largest amount received
in thirty-siX years. Mr.. Shepherd
prepared. which was passed at the
January Session, 1918, law, by the
provisions of which the fees for com
position money materially increased
and largely contributed to the return
in his last semi-annual report. The
law referred to, which increased the
appraisement of the vacant land OF
the state and subject to patent, has,
as stated largely contributed to the
increased revenues of the land office
and it is reasonably certain that with
in the present year the receipts
thousands of dollars. There are two
reasons for such results: the increas-
ed price of vacant land under the
law mentioned and because of the
value of muskrat fur, called by the
trade as a finished product Hudson
seal, the price to the catcher or trap
per during the past season having
reached $4.25 each, this not includ-
ing the meat. which sold for 20 cts,
each. From the present outlook the
production of fur is likely to be Inn
tied for several years, consequently
the prices are not likely to be materl-
ally reduced.
The commissioners has not, since
the law was changed, received less
than $3.50 per acre, and in one IN
stance was paid at the rate OF $oO.oO
ner acre. Prior to the enactment OF
the law, 1918, the price was SO cts,
flat per acre for any and all kinds
of lands.
The demand for vacant land, eVl-
denced by warrants issued IN the last
three months, has been unpreceden-
ted. During that period there nave
been applied for and issued w war
rants of different kinds, approximate
ly a larger number than the total
for the previous two years. Thls de-
mand for warrants has apparently
confirmed the suggestion OF the COM
missioner in his first report OF the
1915-17 %. go, that "a more strict
enforcement of the law where per
sons have lands surveyed under war
rants issued and certificates return,
ed but who have failed to compound
on them, has resulted in revenue pc
inc withheld, the parties thereby be
coming squatters without apparent
desire to compensate the state

of persons for years, both for pasture
and the profits from muskrats. with
out title of any kind whatever. Now
that the fur-bearing animals of the
marshes have become SO profitable
those who have used the state lands
without paying for them seek to pro-
tect themselves against others whose
rights are equal to theirs by seeking
patents!
In the commissioner last report
it is shown that since the land Of
fee was created there have been l2,-
269 certificates of survey returned
upon which no patents were issued
aggregating the immense area of g.
741,697 IA acres of land, which
would equal A IL per cent, of the
total area of the State.
1t is likely that the trappers of
Dorchester County have received lar
ger returns from the muskrat indus
try than any other one udewater
county. which has been estimated to
be between four and five hundred
thousand dollars. The catches from
some OF the farms or marshes have
produced the following sums: $12,-
600, $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively, and many of $4,000 and
less. all, however, large incomes from
lands heretofore costing them so cts.

whatever, the lands costing them not
one penny. 1t is contended that the
authorities of the several counties
where these marshlands produce a
large revenues showed increases the
assessments and derive revenue in
the form of taxes for both the State
and counties and, not permit the ba-
sis of taxation to remain at 80 cents
