when we permit the issuance OF

careful banker words, but what he
meant was that the rich buy these
bonds and go free Of taxation,
while the poor are left to carry the
load.

MARLBORO PROVIDES
OWN FISHING SPOTS

Henry Miller. the veteran editor of
the Marlboro Gazette, is a devotee of
the rod and line. and seldom lets
week pass without enjoying an hours
fishing. Miller, however. does not
have TO visit the beach or the Patux-
ent to engage in his favorite outdoor
diversion. for he finds the ponds
and streams in the corporate limits of
Marlboro ample. One day recently he
surprised passengers from Chesapeake
Beach by showing several large
specimens of the perch and bass that
he caught the evening previous in the
large pond near the railroad station.
He says that he seldom fails to get
fine bass out of the ponds and small
streams. They are the results of the
paintings made by w. F. Roberts and
others of the Globe Fishing Club in
the Patuxent about eight or ten years
ago He says that parties with the
United States fish commission also
planted the perch and black-mouth
bass in the ponds and river some
years ago. and that many of them are
now being taken by the Marlboro
anglers. Some time ago he landed a
nine-pounder that required no little
skill and maneuvering to get upon
the bank.

coaches for the manner in which they
directed their boys on the diamond
this year. Petty squabbles were abb
sent in the Mount Pleasant stadium,

valry. Umpire Watt may have made
