STATE STREET MEETING
HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Illness of Governor Ritchie Prompts
Action on Part of Officials


Because of the illness of Governor
Richie, Col. John D. Marley, chair
man of the special committee pro.
noting the State aid road plan for
towns whose streets are connecting
links of the States arterial road
system, sent letters today to Mayors
of IA towns informing them that {,
meeting previously called to be held
at Annapolis, January IS, had been
postponed. While no new time had
been set for the meeting, Colonel
Markey said it would probably be
held in the next two weeks.
The towns whose Mayors were thus
informed were Oakland, Cumberland.
Hagerstown, Frederick, Frostburg,
Cambridge, Westminster, Belair,
Snow Hill, Easton, Annapolis, Mount
Savage, Ellicott City and Berlin. No
letters were sent to the Mayors OF
Salisbury or Pocomoke City, for the
reason that the officials of these towns
are not in entire accord with the COM
mittee's program. Colonel Markey
explained that both towns approved
the general principal of the program
but not all the details.
The meeting had been planned for
the purpose Of hearing the Governor
or his representative explain legis-
lation in reference to the above pro-
Ject from the viewpoint of the State
administration.

FREDERICK Y. NJ. c. A. WINS
FROM OAKLAND A. A. 1921
Phenomenal Playing of Noah DOwnes
Feature of the Game.

The Oakland A. A. team was de-
feated here Thursday night last 1921
by the Frederick Y. NJ C. A. Five, by
far the classiest aggregation of baS-
ket ball tossers to appear here this
season. The game was a thriller from
start to finish and the fast, snappy
play of both teams, together with the
closeness of the score, kept the inter-
est of the large turnout of fans at
fever heat throughout. The Won
derful team play and fast passing of
the visitors, coupled with the phenom-
email work of Noah Downes, their star
forward, were big factors in their
victory over the locals, while the work
of Hoyt, Rice, Frantz and Bolden,
stood out for the home team. Oakland
led at the end of the first half 1913,
and held the lead far into the second
period, when the Frederick countians
staged whirlwind squirt and Gagged
enough goals to win by safe margin.
The lineup:

OFFICIAL CHAPTERS

Hardly day passes but what the press dispatches contain news of mem- bers of the police department in Seat tie being apprehended for graft of some kind principally in the liquor business, which is paying large sums for "protection" That this graft is deeply seated and embraces the high est and lowest members of the force is shown by the exposes which bob up so regularly that outsiders are convinced that it would be for the best interests of the people if the entire force wer removd.
 That this shilding of criminals for money is not confined to Seattle alone is shown by the records ol other cities, where the same complaint is register ed Instead of protecting the public the modern police officer preys off the criminal element, enriching himself at the expense of the taxpayers.
 Another year or so of this and Am bIlcdu ldNS anu tAIlltIICdu COuI lS " III be anathema to honest people, who re- cognize that strong measures must be adopted to purge the garments oi jus tice of the taint attacned. It is only in recent years that public officials have become utterly dishonest, former cases being very inf1equent. There are many honest officials but they are in the minority and rapidly growing less, as they see the grafter waxing rich and insolent from his traffic.
 Of course the fault lies with the peo- pie themselves, who pay little atten- tion to the morals of those they select to serve them. Many people honor a law only in the breach and expect it to be enforced on the other fellow. The breaking down of the moral tone of our public officials is calamity which may yet wreck our social system. unless it be checked with an iron hand.

WILLIAM C. EDES

The death of William c. Edes at San Joachim, California is a shock to his many friends in Alaska where his greatest life's work was consummated. Mr Edes was an engineer of unusual ability, and his services in connection with the Alaska railway were in keep ing with his record as engineer on the Southern Pacific and other systems.
 He was man of strong personally and such a man is bound to make many enemies, but that these were few is shown by the universal regret eX- pressed at his death. The greatest mon ument to Mr. Edes is his work in AL aska, where he was best known to his employees. The railroad will stand to all time, as will his memory among those who knew him.

INFORMATION received here that Wm.

In the past great damage has been done to the city by this stream, and of late years the probability of further damage has increased with the grad ual filling up of the bed of the creek. A few thousands spent at this time may save hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property in the future.

TOTEM TOURS MIXES
 FIRST TRIP JULY 9TH
F. D. QUIGLEY, MANAGER IN JUL NEAU-FIRsT TOUR BE OVER
 RICHARDSON HIGHWAY
(Juneau Empire)

Forty tourists will leave Seattle on the Steamship Northwestern July S. on the first of the Totem Tours to AL aska, to make the trip over the Rich ardson Highway to Fairbanks and re- turn to the coast by way Of the Govern ment Railroad to Anchorage. This is according to a statement made today by r. D. Quigley, of the firm of Quig- ley and Ba1ash, originators of Totem Tours, with headquarters in Seattle.
 The Totem Tours was originated by M2. Quigley and Miss s. s. Barash as means for the people of the States to get into the back country and see Alaska right. Miss Barash is the own CT of the Hotel News of the West. To- tenn tours offers three distinct trips to the tourist They are: Wrangell-Stik- inc River to Telegraph Creek, South eastern Alaska and Canadian Pacific to At'in Lake; Richardson Highway by automobile to Fairbanks and return by way of the Government Railroad to Anchorage and Seward.
 Should definite arrangements be made for a Juneau-Sitka trip it will be possible to arrange for many trips dur ing the summer" said MT. Quigley Bookings are already being made foI the Wrangell-Stikine trip and arrange ments have been made with the Alas ka Steamship Company for a seven day stopover at Wrangell. The first trip will accommodate only 15 tourists, as a consideration to the Harrington Transportation Company which is not able to accommodate a large number at the present time because of a heavy local travel. However, the company Is now arranging to increase transpOrta- ton facilities to take care of the tours
 "The Totem Tours will be personally conducted by Alaskan guides. Men from Wrangell will accompany each tour up the Stikine River and the same arrangement can be made at Jul neau. I will conduct the first tour over the Richardson Highway, accompanied by my wife and daughter but the fol lowing tours will be made under the supervision of Alaskans. Mel HOrner of Seward, Fred Martin, Secretary ol the Elks Lodge at Anchorage, and F B. Camp will conduct the tours.
 Colonel Steese has assured me thai the Alaska Road Commission will ai( us in every possible way in transport
 ing the tourists through the country It was at first planned to make a spec
 ial saddel trip to Mt. Mckinley Parl i but the trip is not feasible this year

CENSUS OF Ex-sERVICE MEN
Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used
in Obtaining Views on Compen-

gion's service and compensation"
drive, which viii aim toward the COM
pilation of vital statistics and which
should afford a definite indication of
the exact cost Of providing compensa-
tion TO all veterans.
The various state organizations of
the Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and at their own date.
Every man interviewed by the census
taker viii be informed OF the five op-
ions of the pending compensation bill

LEVEL CULTURE is FAVORED
AS Most Vegetables Require Much
Moisture, 1t Is Best to Plant
Them on the Surface.

Water still runs down hill. Practice
level culture for most vegetables. Do
not make raised bed on which to
plant, nor hill up much earth along the
rows in cultivating. Raised areas lose
water, not only because it flows away,
but also because theysare exposed to
the drying action of the air. Sweet Do
tatoes, however, are usually planted on
low, broad ridge to insure good bed
of loose earth in which their roots
may develop. Irish potatoes, too, are
commonly hilled up in cultivation, but
the killing should be very slight in re-
gions and on soils where some drought
is to be expected.

SOY BEAN IN CROP ROTATION
Cash Value. of Seed Is Sufficient to
Warrant Growing Beans as One
of Main Crops.

The soy bean may be combined adj
vantageously in many systems of crop
rotation. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says it is especial
" adapted to short rotations, taking
either an entire season or part of a
season following some grain crop. The
cash value of the seed is sufficient TO
encourage growing the beans as one of
the main crops. When the whole sea-
son is thus devoted to soy beans. they
take any place in a rotation system
where corn can be used.

clean of weeds so that the grubs can
be eliminated.
Rotation of crops, avoiding the
planting of potatoes, beets, sweet corn,
and other crops on land which has
been for some time in the same crops
or in strawberries, grasses, or weeds
is advisable. Fertilizers, especially
kainit, as heavy top-dressing are OF,

plowed land See Farmers Bulletin
543, Common White Grubs."
Wireworms.
Wireworms, like white grubs, are
common pests in the garden and are
also general feeders. They are the
offspring of swapping beetles, or
''snap-bugs," and are of long oval
form.
Their tastes are similar TO those
of the white gruhs. They attack and
often do great injury to potatoes and
other plants bearing tubers, as well
as TO carrots, beets, sweet potatoes,
and onions.
Control.-The remedies advised for
white grubs apply also to wireworms,
with due care in selecting land for
planting and in fall blowing and crop
rotation. Wireworms, however, are
much more difficult to control than
white grubs.
Blister Beetles.
Blister beetles are common farm
pests and are very destructive to
vegetables, especially beans, peas, po-
tatoes. and beets. They travel in the
same manner as army worms and are
sometimes called "army beetles" for
this reason They are hungry feeders
and travel frequently in lines, eating
everything in their path, chewing up
apparently more than they need for
food. They are slender in form, some
what soft bodied, and colored various
ly. Some species are perfectly black,
some are yellow with black stripes,
others are of the same color with
several light stripes, some are gray,
and others are gray spotted with black.
Blister beetles are particularly abund-
ant in the Southwest, but occur prac-
tically everywhere. Different species
appear at different times, usually after
the plants have made about one-third
10 q
in the season.
controI.-Lead arsenate applied at
the very outset of attack is the best
remedy. In some portions of the
Southwest lines of men and boys go
through fields driving beetles before
them until they reach windrows of
hay, straw, or other dry vegetable
matter previously prepared along the
leeward side of the field. The windrow
is then fired and the beetles burned.
PIant-Lice.
Practically all vegetables, especially
cucumbers, cabbages, and peas, suffer
considerable damage from attack by
small, soft-bodied insects commonly
called ''Iice' or "aphis," but better
known as plant-lice. These work for
the most part on the lower sides of
the leaves, which become curled or
otherwise destroyed by loss of their
vital juices. They give off a sweet
mixture called honeydew, which at
tracts ants, flies, and other insects.
Plant-lice increase with great rapidity
by the female giving birth to living
young. The different kinds vary in
color from light to dark green or
nearly black, grayish, brown, yellow.
and red. They have comparatively
long legs and have feelers attached
