INAUGURATION TO BE SIMPLE

Mr.. Harding's request for the
simplest possible Inauguration
will be complied with strictly.
In accordance with this plan,
orders for the erection of a grand
stand at the east front of the
Capitol have been cancelled. The
citizens inaugural committee,
while taking no formal action,
has suspended all activity and
will probably, merely close up
accounts and return the guaran-
tee funds to the donors.
In accordance with these de-
cisions, which were rendered i'm
peratlve by the request from
Marion, the Inauguration March
4 will be the simplest in the his
tory of the country. There will
be no ceremonial outside of the
administration of the oath and
the delivery of the address which
will take place on the East porch
of the Capitol.
There will be nothing in this
program to attract to Washing
tonany of the people from the
states who otherwise would flock
there in great numbers to be
present on the occasion. This is
the principal smisfortune of the
change Of plan. For thousands
of Americans. will miss the op-
portunity and occasion to visit
the capital afforded by the in
auguration, without which they
seldom make the journey.

IRREGULAR

The War IT," rtment announces
its intentlvu shortly to pub
lish in their home town" the
names Of l13, GIL draft evaders.
We have not the slightest SYM
pathy with any evader. But
are there 173, Oil of them? Are
there 173, Oil on whom the Gov
eminent has data reasonably
sufficient to assure conviction?
Draft evasion was a crime.
Perhaps juries would not today
convict. But is the process the
Government now resorts to one
that will secure the accused man
against mistake? What chance
of appeal does it offer him.

MUST MODIFY RACING LAWS

In it's first report to the Gov
ernor. the Racing Commission
reviews the work accomplished
since it's induction into office.
Lack of data, the report says,
has prevented the consideration
of questions dealing with the
number Of racing days and also
with the profits of the tracks.
This will be taken up in the near
future.
Undoubtedly" says the re-
port in another paragraph, eff
racing is to continue in Maryland
there will necess arily be modifi-
cations from time to time of the
existing law.
Emphasis is laid in the report
on the fact that the commission
has striven in every direction to
properly safeguard the interests
of the public, and at the same time
the interests of the State. The
commission has been fully re-
presented at every racing meet,
and represented not only by in
spectors ands stewards to see
that racing was conducted on a
high plane and that Everything
was done in a spirit of fairness,
but it also had representatives
to see that the public was safe
guarded in matters of health and
comfort.

PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
Pernicious Practice of Permitting Wa
ter to Escape From Soil Should
Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities of letting the nat
ural moisture escape from the soil,
with the idea that more water can be
applied when it is needed, is most per.
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. If the moist
ure that gets into the ground in the
form of precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil it will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the
plant foods, rendering them available
for plant growth. There is a feeling
of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,
but 1t should be remembered that irri-
CATION costs money and labor; precipi-
tation Is natures gift.

turkeys are probably the natural
hosts of the gapeworm-a serious nest
among young chickens-and are an
important factor In their spread. This
has been demonstrated by a zoologist
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture as the result of experi.
ments and other investigations carried
on at Washington, D. c., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor eapeworms.
During three winter seasons begin
ming In December, 1915, a total of e35
chickens and 6T9 turkeys were ex-
amined In the Washington city market.
No gapeworms were found in the
chickens, but 22.5 per cent of the
turkeys were found to be infested
From 1 to worms were found in each
OF the Infested turkeys. A report of
these investigations has been published
by the department In Department
Bulletin $50, 1.-THE Turkey as an I'm
portant Factor in the Spread of Cape
worms"
In view of the complete absence of
gapeWorms from a large series of
adult chickens and their comrsDn oc-
currence in similar series of adult
turkeys, it would appear, the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts of gapeworms. That
turkeys above 3 years of age may
harbor gapewOrms is established by
the fact that a turkey which was kept
at the departments experiment sta
ton at Bethesda, Nd, for three years
after it was brought there was found
after its death to be infested with
pair of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapeworms
from year to year on infested poultry
farms the two chief factors, according
to the bulletin, appear to be turkeys

Of the main objects of the campaign,

other states it may be added that sew
