Commenting on business condf-
tons under the present administra-
ton Senator King, Democrat, OF
Utah, says:
Business men are discouraged
and will not incur the hazards fol-
lowing extensive borrowing for i'm
provements and development. Men
having money to loan are afraid to
invest in corporate securities or
stocks in Industrial plants. The Re-
publican party has thrown the en-
tire country into panic, and those
who have money for investment
compete for securities which are tax
exempt. This has brought municl-
pal and State and National bonds to
high levels.
Instead of there being competi-
tion for business investments, there
is competition only for tax-exempt
securities and for jobs by the hungry
and starving workingman. If the
Republican Party is to be credited
with the rise in Liberty Bonds ii
must be credited with the fall in
agricultural lands and~products."

Baltimore vets appear to be in
control of the Legislature and have
showed their strength by forcing
postponement last week of consid-
Grafton of the Prohibition Enforce
ment measure, until Thursday OIL
this week. Delegate Squier, OF
Port Deposit, and Delegate Mackey,
of Elkton, voted with the vets for
postponement. Delegate Gibson, of
Rising Sun, voted with the drys to
take the measure up for immediate
consideration.
Meanwhile Baltimore's liquor
subsidized daily press is leaving
nothing undone by misleading state
ments to spread wet propaganda, as
we'll as to woop things up for race
track gambling.
Baltimore city has succeeded in
forcing through the present Legis
lature the measure giving increased
measure will be before the voters OF
the State for ratification or rejection
at the general election next fall. II
the city is already able to dictate
legislation, as she is proving her
self capable of doing in the present
Legislature, what chance will the
counties have in future if this in
creased Baltimore city representa-
ton amendment carries? The rural
voters will do well to- bear this in
mind next fall when they come to
mark their ballots.

SEEKS RoAD-sIGN CONTROL.

N1A9A1AAAS ANO<AD-04OIV
Chairman John N. Mackall, of the
State Roads Commission wants the
Commission to control signs along
public highways which give infor-
nation about distances or conditions
on the roads. He has prepared for
Introduction in the General Assem-
bly, bill which will transfer to his
department from the Forestry Ser
vice the control of all such signs.
The bill Is an amendment to the
present law. supplementing it by
adding proviso that the Commits
sion shall have authority to give
permits for the erection Of direction
or danger signs wherever needed.
In several instances. especially on
the Eastern Shore. said Colonel
Mackall. companies have placed ad-
vertisements warning of dangers
which do not exist. This practice,
he believes, tends to destroy the
usefulness of all road signs.
Another bill prohibits the erection
on private property of signs purport-
ing to give road information, except
under approval of the State Roads
Commission. The two measures, to-
gether. would give the Commission
complete control of the subject mat
ter of all signs along highways in so
far as they relate to the roads.

Monday night.
The measure was reported favor
ably on the floor of the House, but
the anticipated fight over adoption
of the committees report did not de-
velop when Mr.. Hall announced that
he would be willing to postpone con-

date named. 1t was, therefore,
made special order of business for
1890 on February %.
The bill was reported Monday
night only after Mr.. Hall had col

has twice agreed to a postponement
in reporting the measure, that it
might not conflict with the presence
of the Reorganization Bill on the

AGRICULTURAL STUDY COURSES
PREPARED FOR RURAL
SCHOOLS,


State departments OF education
desiring to introduce agricultural
courses of study into elementary
schools are taking advantage of the
assistance given by Federal ana
State authorities in the preparation
Of suitable courses. The Office of
Agricultural Instruction of the u.
S. Dept. Of Agriculture, in cooper
alton with the various State depart
ments Of education and State agri-
cultural colleges, has prepared out
line courses for Ohio, Wisconsin
Maryland, Virginia, Arkansas, and
North Carolina, and has a similar
course under preparation for Okla
home. The aim of such courses is
to assist the teacher Of agriculture
in presenting the subject matter to
the school pupils. They are used
as seasonal guides in connection
with bulletins and other material
now employed in teaching agricul-
ture in the elementary schools.
Each State manual contemplates
a two-year course in agricultural
instruction. In each case topics
are intended to be seasonal, per-
hitting application and observation
study; local, adapted to State and
community needs; and individual.
encouraging personal work. Home
project work. is introduced where
ever feasible, and it is suggested
that the pupil carry one plant and
one animal project each year.
