AMENDMENTS WILL
APPEAR ON BALLOT
The November Election viii Decide
More Than Candidates. -Coun-
ties Are Opposed To
Amendments.

Besides the names of the various
candidates for offices to be filed in the
election next November, five proposed
amendments to the State Constitution
will be printed on the ballots in a ref
orendum. In their legislative and le-
gal verbiage, these undoubtedly will
sound complicated to some persons
but they may be summarized in the
following fashion:
Ito increase the number of Leg
islative districts in Baltimore city
from four to six.
2-To increase the representation
CT Baltimore city in the General AS
sembly to SO Delegates and 6 Sena-
tors instead of "a and A.
3-Prescribing the salary of the
State Comptroller and the terms Of
the Comptroller and Treasurer.
4-Providing that all State an6
county officers shall hold office TO,
four years, except judges of the Cir
cult Courts, the member of the Court
OF Appeals from Baltimore city and
the judges of the Baltimore city SUI
preme Bench.
$40 provide that swords OF phras-
e., used in creating public offices and
J ositions shall be construed to include
the feminine gender"
Under the first proposed amend
ment the city shall be divided into
six Legislative districts Gas near as
may be of equal population and OF
contiguous territory" and each dis
trict shall be entitled to one Senator
The second measures establishes
the maximum representation of any
county at six Delegates-besides the
Seaator-and gives each Legislative
district of Baltimore a representation
equal to that of the largest county
representation.
At present the Comptroller and
Treasurer are selected every two
years; by the proposed amendment
each would serve for four years, each
to receive a salary of $500, but
neither to receive any fees.
. Throughout the counties of Mary
land there is decided opposition to
these amendments, particularly to
those which provide for the creation
of more Legislative Districts in Bal
timore city, for increased Legislative
representation for Baltimore city, and
for the so-called "fewer elections u
No objection is heard to the amend
ment changing the term and salary
of the State Comptroller and Treas
urer or to the amendment removing
political disability from the women
voters. But to the other amendments
there is decided opposition.

CROPS ARE DAMAGED
BY THE HESSIAN FLY
Safe Dates For Planting Wheat
Should Be Observed Says
State Entomologist.

Serious losses, running as high as
twenty per cent. of the crop in some
localities, have been attributed to the
Hessian Fly during the past year
says E. N. Cory, State Entomologis:
who cautions farmers against a repi-
tition of the infestation unless the
safe dates for planting wheat are OBJ
served.
The safe dates for planting wheat
have been calculated anew, says Mr.
Cory, and correspond very CLOSELY
with the actual practice of the best
train farmers in the different Sec
tons of the State. 1t has also been
determined that the safe date for SOW
ing wheat to avoid depredations by
the Hessian Fly is identical with the
average date on which wheat may BE-
sown to secure the best development
of the plant and yield of gain.
The safe wheat planting dates as
calculated for the different sections
of Maryland for an elevation of two
hundred feet are given by Mr.. Cory as
follows:
Cecil, north half of Hartford ex-
IRENE north tip of Baltimore and Car
roll counties, Sept. 20 to Oct. 9; up per
half of Kent, northeast Queen Anne's
lower Hartford, middle Baltimore,
nearly all of Carroll, upper half OF
Frederick and Washington counties
Sert. 80 to Oct. 10; upper half of Car
oiipe, practically all of Queen Anne's,
upper Anne Arundel, lower portion Of
Baltimore and Carroll, all of Howard
uppertip of Montgomery, lower half
IF Frederick and Washington, most of
Allegany and upper half of Garrett,
Oct. to Oct II; lower half of Caro-
line all but southern tip of Talbot,
lower Anne Arundel, upper Prince
tieorge's, nearly all of Montgomery,
southern extremity of Allegany, and

and Calvert, nearly all of Charles and
upper tip of st. Mary's Oct. to IA;
liver Worcester, nearly all of Somer-
SCI and St. Mary's and the southern
portion of Charles, Oct. 5 to Is.
The dates should be advanced or re-
tarded, explains Mr.. Cory, as the ele-
walton in the different sections hap
pens to be above or below 200 feet.
The dates should be one day earlier
II an those given for each 100 feet of
elevation above 200 and one day later
tGr each 100 feet of elevation below

HELP SAVE $35O,OOO
TO MARYLAND FARMERS
Swine Losses Run Well Over This
Figure Annually. Cooperation
Of Hog Growers Needed.

With the high cost of production
and unsatisfactory marketing condi-
tons for most products, the farmers
CT Maryland, as in other States are
finding farming more or less unprof-
table at present. Notwithstanding
this fact, swine growers who have fol-
lowed sound methods of breeding and
feeding and who have been able to
keep their herds free from disease
have secured highly satisfactory re-
turns from the operations.
The swine losses in Maryland run
we'll over $950,O00 annually. Not all
of this is caused by hog cholera, but
the correcting of the major trouble
will do much to clear up the others.
While these losses are much less than
those experienced a few years ago,
they are yet far too large and add
much to the Encouragement of farm
ing.
To correct this condition does not
mean the expenditure of large sums
CT money nor does it demand long and
serious conferences. However, it
does necessitate constant care and CO.
operation with the authorities on the
part of those engaged in raising hogs,
Without the germs you cannot have
hog cholera. Remember then that the
Hog Cholera germ has neither arms,
wings or legs, nor does it own an
auto or aeroplane. This being the
case, if it reaches your hogs it must
be carried to them.
Observe the following advice and
help save that $350,000 for Maryland
farmers.
Do not feed your hogs any product
that might contain any bones, rinds oil
scraps of pork.
Do not permit any hogs to be
brought to your place unless you are
positive that they come from prem
ises where there is no hog cholera in
lection.
If your hogs show signs of sickness
do not wait. Call your veterinarian
a! once. If no veterinarian is avail
9ble notify your County Agent, or the
|. S. Specialist in your district.
Promptly burn or bury the carcass
of any animas or fowl that dies on
your premises.

The Key That UnlOcks the Door to
Long Living

The men of eighty-fve and ninety
years Of age are not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, a man past middle age
will occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to his
constitution, causing indigestion or
constipation and will need dose Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done, there is no reason
why the average man should not live
to a ripe old age.-Adveltisement

UNION HIGH LOSES
GAME UNDER PROTEST

LESLIE, May 13-Union high
school lost to Bronwood on the Bron-
wood diamond Friday afternoon by
the score of to 6. The Leslie boys
threw the game when they made
errors in the first inning. Bradley
gave up eight scattered hits while
Kennedy did about the same for
Brentwood. Errors lost the game for
Union high.
The game, however, was played
under a protest made in the fifth
inning. With one out, Leslie man
at the bat, and a man on first base,
the batter struck out, the catcher
cropping the ball the man at first
taking second. The batter was de-
clared out, which was correct, but
the umpire sent the man who had
taken second back to first. The Les
lie team accepted the decision on
condition that if it was later found to
be wrong it would throw out, the
game.
The Leslie team has not lost a
game to high school team in two
seasons and should the game with
Bronwood be thrown out it will give
it perfect record.

AT THE RYLANDER

Katherine MacDonald's newest
screen play to be released by Asso-
ciated First National is "The Inf
DEL" which will have its first show
ing in this city at the Rylander the
alter Monday.
In this picture Miss Mcdonald is
presented as a young woman whose
life has been such as to make her
hate ministers and everything and
everybody connected with the minis
try, particularly the men and wo-
men missionaries who endeavor to
carry the light to the heather of the
mysterious South Sea isles. The
heroine's discovery of her years of
wrong thinking, the new viewpoint
as to the work of the missionaries
and the development of the soul OF
the young girl and a heart-stirring
romance, all combine to form an ex-
ceedingly unusual and interesting
story that is supplemented by some
scenes of geographic and photograph
ic novelty, and melodramatic eli
max that is said to be more than
ordinarily full of thrills even for the
screen. The Infidel," an original
story by Charles A Logue, was di.
rected by James Young. Robert
Ellis is Miss MacDonald's leading
man.
