IN a state of ferment for several years.

TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.

1t Is a pleasure to commend the
Women's Club OF York. Pa, for put
ting through definite piece OF pub
lie service. For two years they have
been at work lining twenty-five miles
Of the Lincoln Highway with me-
mortal trees. and this week the work
was dedicated, with the unveiling of
tablets at each end or the long stretch.
What York has accomplished other
localities and communities have in
mind or under development. In
Maryland the idea OF planting shade
trees along the public highways was
broached in tho early days of road
.building and there have been several
efforts to emphasize 1t In recent years.
Westminster, Frederick. Emmitsburg
Cumberland and a few other sections
have planted trees along short stretch
es OF road and the plan is growing,
but there has not been the organized
development that will be necessary
before we can obtain appreciable re-
suits. II looks as though this viii be
slow In coming about and that finally
II will be the effect OF community work
showing the advantages OF shaded
roads and educating the people TO q

There is a fine opportunity for some
Maryland county TO lead off in this

In the meanwhile communities ma!

HUNGRY AND THIRSTY,
CopyIght.l922 by Edgar A. Guest

I'm hungry not for steak and bread,
But for the blue skies over head;
I'm hungry not for meat and pie.
But for the white clouds drifting by
And for the banks beside a stream
Where I may rest awhile and dream.
Pm thirsty. not for wine 10 drink
In lighted halls where glasses clink,
But for the days refreshing breeze
Filtered through fragrant orchard
trees,
And for the Joys of field and Hill
Where weary eyes may drink their fill
need refreshments-not the sort
OF table board or bottled quart,
But strength renewed by wandering
far
Where ell the sumer's splendors arc,
A day or two where waters roll
And can be refreshed OF soul.

the amount of $722,000, 900 by the
general balance in the treasury on
June 30"
Experience of the past year, the
president continued, has demon
strated that there need be no un-
due concern over prospective defi-
cfts, recalling that while q deficit
of $24,000,000 was forecast last
year. surplus of $313,000. 900 was
realized. This was accomplished,
he asserted, despite the fall in gov
ernment receipts for the year of
s1,515,0 100000, the equivalent of
the reduction in the amount coll
lected from the people. Yet, be-
cause it pruned it's expenditures
by $1,743,000,0O0 it produced an
actual surplus.
"This," he said, ais certainly a
gratifying accomplishment" but
he added thar expenses must be
kept within income this year and
called upon the governments
executives for still closer scrutiny
OF their activities and expendi-
lures"

SENSATIONAL PLAYING
MARKS MEMS DOUBLES

Wimbledon, Eng, July IL (by
the Associated Press). - Sensa-
tional play characterized the semi
final In the mems championship
doubles this evening when Gerald
L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood
of Australia won from B. /. c..
Norton of South Africa and II.
Roper Barrett of England, after
one of the hardest fought strug-
giles ever witnessed on the Wimble-
don courts.
Norton and Barrett were five
times within one point of taking
the match, the losers surely never
played so wonderfully. Norton de-
veloped cannon ball service good
enough to score outright frequent
ly, while Barrett's funny little
service ball directed along the mid
die line to Patterson's back hand,
was altogether too much for the
Australian.
Wood is given credit for saving
the situation, but as a matter of
fact, neither man played up to his
standard. They started somewhat
listlessly. having already appeared
IN other contests during the day
Wood twice. The score at the end
was 6-l, 3-6, 81, 6-3, 1913.

ly qualified. Those were the high
spots of day of golf thrills, some
of which were produced in q driv-
ing rain and all of which We're on
course so soaked that the putting
greens were like sponges.
Early in the day when the rain
fell at one hour intervals, the scores
were running high and it looked as
II a mark of 155 might qualify bat
the sun came out in the afternoon,
drying the fair ways, and the totals
began to grow smaller and smaller
until John Black, 81. grandfather
of Oakland. Calf. turned in a 146

At the 154 mark stood S. Dawson

DEATH OF FATHER IS
AVENGED BY DAUGHTER

Mexico City, July 1.-THE shoot
ing of Deputy Francisco Tejeda
Llorca. by which 15-year-old Maria
Del Pillar Moreno avenged her
fathers death, has provided Mexico
with a sensation.
Popular sympathy is with the
child, who, armed with small re-
volver given her last Christmas by
her father, the editor of Ell Heraldo
de Mexico set out alone to satisfy
"a crime which apparently Next
can justice was unable TO reach,"
she declared.
1t is thought here that, after mere
formalities, she will he released
and the incident dismissed. Llorta
was chosen a senator from Vera
Cruz in the last election and had
just come to Mexico City to present
his new credentials, Moreno. whom
he killed two months ago after a
dispute in front of the interior de-
partment building, was also a
deputy from Vera Cruz.
