Maryland's Main Crop.

One of the biggest things in
Maryland during the past third of a
century has been the remarkable
increase in the average acre yield
Of corn. In 1890 and for years
afterward the average yield in
Maryland was between 20 and
rs bushels per acre. Maryland
farmers says DR.. Symons, "have
steadily and consistently been i'm
proving the quality of their seed and
their cultural methods until in 1922
the average yield mounted to the
top figure of 40 bushels per acre.
This is IL bushels higher than the
average of the United States for
the same year" By better methods
the Maryland farmers raised on
$4,000 acres-the acreage planted
in 1922-11, 100000 more bushels
OF corn than would have been pos
sible in 1890. In value this meant
$7,500,0O0.
In the big grain show in Chicago
Maryland won ~ prizes, more than
any State except Indiana. Today
Maryland is making a business OF
producing pure-bred seed corn, and
corn is its leading agricultural crop

FRIDAY. JUNE %. 1913.
Cause of.Auto Accidents.

Automobile accidents are creating
such a frightful casualty list that
their causes ought to be carefully
studied to determine what habits
and practices among motorists most
frequently get people into trouble.
Two accidents happened in this vi
cinity within the past week for the
occasion of which we can see no
reason had all the parties driving
exercised care in controlling their
machines and keeping to the proper
side of the road. 1t is too serious
a matter for the authorities to let
such mishaps pass unnoticed.
One very common cause of col
lisions is the habit Of passing other
cars on curves in the road. Drivers
get irritated by having to drag be-
hind some .slow-moving machine on
a narrow and winding highway and
can't wait until they reach a clear
stretch of road where they can see
ahead. So they try to pass on a
curve, but in so doing they get well
over on the left side. If another
car, hidden by the turn, happens to
be coming along in the opposite di-
rection at a high rate OF speed, it
becomes very difficult to avoid
smash.
The driver who delays passing
until he knows the road ahead is
clear stands a much better chance
of keeping out of the law courts,
also out of the hospital and the
cemetery.
The above which recently ap-
peared in the Calvert Gazette is
most timely. This is the season
when automobiles are more in use
than any other in the year and it is
the season when more fatalities oc-
cur as result Of reckless driving,
speeding, passing machines on
curves and in narrow places.
Too many drivers of automobiles
speed along the road unmindful of
the rights of others and regardless
of all regulations of law This is
especially true of motorists from
the city riding in the country. A
large number Of city motorists
when m the country drive their
machines like they have left the CON
fines of law and apparently seem to
think that there are no motor We
hicle laws in the country. We want
to remind our city friends that there
are motor vehicle laws and that
they have no more license or right
TO violate them than they have to
violate the city regulations.
There is and can be no reason for
any driver of a motor vehicle to
drive recklessly and without regard
for the rights of others. There is,
too, no reason for the city motorist
to think he can with IMMUNITY vio-
late the laws of this state when he
crosses the border line Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Few if any acct
dents occur as the result of careful
driving and in this season of the
year every driver should exercise
extreme care in operating his or her
motor vehicle and especially when
there is much traffic on the roads as
there is on all roads in the country
on Sundays.

THE SMALL TOWN NEWSPAPER

newspaper in a little town is not
an object of charity; it is distinct
business asset, just as much as any
other business enterprise, says a
writer It's function is to dissent
nate news. The news includes items
of business intelligence as well as
local happenings. For the business
man the paper offers its services as
a salesman, and is just as much enti-
tied to compensation for that service
as is the travelling salesman who
calls on the merchant every week
If the merchant will take few les
sons from the salesman and make
sales talk in his space, he will soon
realize the value of newspaper as
a salesman. In this respect the read
ers are just as keen for news items
from the store as they are of news
happenings.

WHEN GRIEF is KNOWN

The small boy has a dog of uncer-
tain parentage. This animal hasn't
a thing to recommend him to the
world at large, but to his owner he
represents all that is best in loyalty,
devotion and affection. Mutt has been
brow-beaten by his owner, but dog
gone it all, he rather likes that.
This dog has many times been
smuggled to bed with his loving
owner and tyrant, thus putting one
over on Mother, who is the wash
woman for the family.
He has been hitched up to the soap
box wagon, thus acting as the motive
power in expeditions to the happy
hunting grounds of childhood.
He has been one of the party on
many occasions when the kids roamed
over the hills, and has shared his
masters lunch at such times, his
loving eyes expressing the idolatry
of his canine heart.
One day the dog drags himself
to his home, his body twitching from
the effects of dose of strychnine
which has been administered by some
one whose rest has been disturbed
by the barks of the animal. His
young owner tries to relieve the suf-
ferings of the poor brute, but Nuts
eyes glaze, he has one more horrible
conyulsion-and is dead.
To the casual observer 1t merely
means that there is one less cur dog
encumbering the earth, but to the
broken-hearted lad it means that he
has lost his pal, and there is an ache
in his heart which he will always
Truly, at such a time
Teller needs a friend.

A SELLING TASK is AN ADVER
Using TASK

Property does not sell itself. II
must be offered for sale through in
formative advertising. The facts
about it must be given, clearly and
fully. These are the elements OF
appeal. These influence the pros
pective buyer TO ''look further into
your Offering Tell the faets-and
your selling task will be made easy
through advertising.
Expert specialists in real estate
can be of great service to you in sell
ing your property to best advantage.
But you must cooperate with them
by authorizing an adequate expendi-
ture for advertising? Not to do this
is to handicap them-to assure delay
Ito fail to find the best market for
your property.

AMT IT THE TRUTH

If compelled to take her choice, tn,
average woman would rather have
the social news omitted from her
newspaper than the store fol-
the omission of the store ads would
mean a daily handicap to her in her
shopping, with certainty of daily
money loss.
If it did not pay to read ads, house
wives would not read them. If
housewives did not read them, there
would be no ads. If there were no
ads there would be no progressive
stores.

OF a bank for failure to remove either

methods when ordered to do so by the
bank commissioner.
With federal, state and private tim
Der holders cooperating in forestry
bill of far-reaching Importance, SEN
ator NJ E. Lewis, Republican of Latah
county, introduced a forestry measure
into the senate.
By far the most voluminous meas
ure of the session and covering every
phase of fire protection, administra-
ton and demonstration, the bill is
said to be the work of conferences COW
ering period of several years.
1t provides for a state board for
estry, and for a fire warden, the for
mer to be composed of the state land
board, the land commissioner, and the
dean of the school Of forestry of the
University of Idaho, while the new
state forester created by the bill would
assume the duties of the state APP
praiser now employed but with addi-
tional duties for which he would draw
salary of $4,000 year.
The measure is said by its authors
to contain much concession on the part
of the timber companies, from the
stand they took in suggested legisla-
tion which was defeated during the
last session of the legislature.
Particular purposes of the new for
estry control suggestions can be sum-
med up as follows: Complete control
by the state of fire wards, and police
powers; the stopping of fires by or
ganized patrol in districts and by dis
posal of piled slash instead of broad
cast burning; the preservation of wa
ter sheds through re-forestration.
By vote of 48 to 16 the house of
passed the bill repeal
ing the license and bond features of
the tobacco law enacted at the 1921
session of the legislature. 1t was in
PRODUCED as house bill No. II by Kee-
ON.
The measure was passed only after
lbout Is members of the house had
poken variously for and against its
provisions. 1t repeats the $50 license
ee and the $500 bond provision of the
ct of the 1921 session of the legis-
ature.
