famous because of their farms and
the distinctiveness which goes with
the naming of them.
In connection with the naming of
the farm, it is well to think of ways
of drawing the attention of the pas
serby. In these days Of autos and
tourists, it is the grasping of po-
tential advertising opportunity to
display on the roadside at the en-
trance to the farm yard, the farm
name and the name and address of
the owner. Suspended therefrom
might be the illustration Of COW,
beehive, an ear Of corn or what
not suggesting the business special
ty. Such would serve as mark of
identity. n

TESTING chi,d,s Musical Ability.

Musical ability in a child can be
well judged by testing five faculties:
The sense of pitch, which is the abil-
ity to discriminate between higher
and lower tones the sense of time or
rhythm; the sense of consonance.
which is the ability to tell what Is
more pleasing and what is Tess pleas

FARM NAME Is
A REAL ASSET

The farm name is a good adver-
tisement. 1t marks the farm home
and the place of business. It dig
nifies the business and increases the
value of the property. 1t shews a
pride in the management and fosters
love of tradition. A good farm name
can be sold with the land and pro-
ducts as the good will of firm can
be sold with the business. Certain
localities in the west have become

receiving both in its deliberations and
more formal programs by the public
at-large. Two local daily papers of the
city of 10000 are devoting virtually
their entire issues to the feature of the
convention. Poems are written to the
women by the members of the staff
the front pages are filled with big head
lines regarding convention activities
and pictures, and ministers of the city
vie with the mayor, the president OF
the Chamber of Commerce., the Ner
chants Association, the public schools
and other civic organizations in doing
honor to the convention Lavish dee
oratons adorn clubhouses and churches
where the meetings are held ano

Most of these signs, to attract atten-
ton, profess to give. some information
about the roads or the distance from
one point to another. Much of this infor-
nation is misleading. For instance, at
one point on the Annapolis Boulevard
are two advertising sings within ID feet
of each other One states that the dis
lance to Baltimore is 16 miles and an
other 10 miles. Neither is right Mr..
Mackall says at other places the same
condition exists.
Some days ago he took IN the mat
ter with Attorney-General Armstrong
and asked if there was some way the
Roads Commission could control high
way signs, even if they were on prl-
vate property, especially those signs
which protested to give information
concerning the State roads. As a re
suit Mr.. Armstrong is preparing a
bill to be sent to the General Assem-
bly, by Mr.. Mackall.
Those who have put. up these signs
ordinarily pay the land owner small
sum for the privilege, and also Tor
maintenance. Mr.. Mackall wants them
to come down. especially those which
contain facts, or alleged facts, as to
distances or the roads. He states that
the Roads Commission itself will give
all the signboard information neces-
Sary.

PROF, ALBERT LEVITT DECLARES
HE'S LUCKIEST MAN IN WORLD

Grand Forks, n. D., Jan. 23.-Prof.
Albert Levitt of the University of North
Dakota, secretly married to Elsie Hill,
Washington, self-styled blazing fem
mist" militant suffragette and chair
man of the National Woman's Party,
who TODAY declared he is the luckiest
man in the world, is a native OF Mary
land, having been born at Woodbine.
So far as known Woodbine, this coun-
ty, is the only postoffice by that name
in the State.
His luck, he added, was in the fact
he had married a feminist, one who
would not allow the husband to be a
czar.
Professor Levitt met Miss Hill while
he was an assistant professor of law
in George Washington University,
Washington. Miss Hill formerly was
teacher of French in the Washington
Central High School. He became pro
fessor of law at the University OF
North Dakota last year. He also has
taught at Colgate and Columbia.
Mrs Hill says she will not change
her name. as there is no law to insist
on it, and it is only custom.
