The Library supper was a success
financially, and we rejoice, for the
library needs many things that only
money can buy. But we must measure
success in terms other than money,
for many things that money cannot
buy were seen at the supper-good
cheer radiated from every side, and
the mattresses WED with one another
in serving the guests who thronged
the tables from $50 to 8, when cards
became the order of the evening.
The dainty table appointments, blue
candlesticks, beautifully decorated
shades, yellow marigolds, startling
color notes that did not clash, caught
the eye when one was seated.
As we looked from the lovely living
girls all about US to the beautiful
painted ones on the walls we thought
of the Egyptian Monk in Kingsley's
"Hypatia," whose first knowledge that
such beings as women existed came
when he saw a similar line of Egyp-
tian women painted on a wall
The excellence of the supper drew
our attention from these evidences of
artistic ability, any yet other attrac
tions followed. Aprons and fancy
articles, cakes and candy were side
lines that proved attractive and of
surprising interest to the little peo-
pie was the beautiful mamma doll"
Chances at ten cents each went fast,
and the fortunate little mother with
whom the baby found a home was
little Miss Ida Zillman, a tiny visitor
at the home of Dr. H. w. McComas.
TIL Library Board, of which Mrs E.
Z. Tower is the efficient chairman,
willed that the supper should be Il sue
cess. They left no stones untmncl to
make it so; Oakland inspired by their
enthusiasm, and we hope TIE library
will feel the results all through the
year.
The Library Board will provide
other evenings of social enjoyment in
the near future. COMMITTEE.

Mobilization of Europe.

New York;. P. Morgan an
nounced he had advised the loan COM
mission of Austria that his banking
house was prepared to organize a
syndicate to underwrite $25,000,000 of
the $13O,OOO,O00 reconstruction loan.
Mr.. Morgan said, in a prepared
statement, that he informed the Aus
Itrian commission his firm was ready
to act when the time was ripe for
making the issue to be divided among
the lending countries Of the world.
He declared his firm stood ready TO
undertake the work because it be-
lieved the loan to be well secured ana
because it marked a step toward i'm
proving business conditions of the
world.
1T is the first step" the statement
said, toward the rehabilitation Of
Central Europe, taken by all the ma
tons working together, and we be-
lieve that the American market
should take its part when such a con-
certed effort is being made to better
general business conditions in the
world.
I'VE have been asked by DR.. Zim-
norman of Holland, the commission
ier general of Austria, and by the loan
commission of Austria, if we would
be prepared to undertake the placing
of $25,000,000 of bonds of the Austrian
Government in this country. After
careful investigation of the present
great improvement made during the
past five months, and after consulta-
ton with leading bankers in the large
centers Of the United States, we have
advised the loan commission that
when their plan for selling this issue
of bonds in the various markets of
Europe is ready, we would undertake
to organize a syndicate to underwrite
S25,000,000 of the total issue of $780,
100000, which is to be divided up
among all the possible lending coun.

This will be the first European loan
Dated here thi5 year, although an I'M
successful effort was made a few
months ago TO raise part of a German
internal loan. Subscriptions for the loan
were received by a New York Stock
Exchange house, but when opposition
developed in France and other quar-
ters to the German financing, the To-
cal undertaking was abandoned and
the subscriptions returned
The Austrian loan will be partici-
pated in by virtually all the large
banking houses of this city, as well as
other large centers.

Live Longer In the South.

The climate of the sunny South, a
newspaper article says, Is more favor
able to longevity than are the rigors
Of the North. In 1920, according to
government records, nine people in
Memphis, Tenn, had attained the age
Of 100 years or more, while Boston
had only one centenarian. Other
cities Of North and South had SIM
ilarly contrasting records. "In Mex
ico," the article continues, .''there are
more than one thousand living cen
tenarians, and that amazingly large
ratio Of one in every seventeen thou
sand, perhaps not exceeded by any
other country on the globe, probably
Is due to the mild highland climate
and the easy going habits of the great
generality Of the people, with their

FASHIONS In HORSES TAILS
Odd Designs That Have Been More or
Less Popular at Various Periods
Of History.

Horses tails have been subjected to
curious changes of fashion. In the
time of the Stuarts the English coach
horses tail was worn long and flowing,
and was cut square. 1t was adorned
with, ribbons on gala days, and
strapped up in leather case in winter
weather; thus certain harmony was
preserved between the wig Of the mas
ter and the tail of his horse.
BY the time of George II short wig
and a pigtail had taken tle place of
the flowing curls In which the cava-
liers Of Charles and the rakes of
Charles IFS court delighted.
The brilliant idea occurred to Lord
Cadogan, a cavalry officer Of that
period, to reduce the tails Of his dra-
COON horses to short dock. Possibly
this was done with the view Of saving
his soldiers the trouble of cleaning
those long tails and avoiding the
nuisance Of the splashes uniforms and
accoutrements must have received
from such hair streamers. Or 1t may
be that the debased taste Of the age
made him think the appearance Of his
regiment was really improved by
bobbed tails. That is a question which
history does not decide.
The next step was to turn bobtails
into plugtails by cutting all the hair
from the last two or three inches of
the dock. Having thus succeeded In
disfguring the headquarters Of dra-
COON horses, some individual devised
the additional barbarity Of cropping
their ears.

HOG CHOLERA DAYS APP
PREACHING

The time of year is now at hand
when the farmer and swine raiser
needs to be particularly vigilant in
keeping hog cholera out of his herd.
Statistics gathered by DR.. 1. K. Ath-
erton, in charge of hog cholera work,
indicate that on the average 70 per
cent of the hog cholera outbreaks in
the State during the year occur in
the period from August to Decem-
Der /.
ay fila &c &C KSbo N AON
There is undoubtedly reason for
this and in the opinion of the spec
ialist, it is due to the fact that a
large number of farmers usually run
short in their meat supply during
these months and make a practice
of buying market pork. The scraps of
this reach the hogs through the table
refuse and garbage, and produce
cholera in the farm herd if the meat
happens to be infected.
This practice together with that of
buying and moving sick and exposed
hogs accounts for approximately 95
per cent of all primary cases of chol-
era. 1t therefore costs nothing ia
keep your herd free from cholera
stop feeding any product which may
contain scraps of raw pork; stop
buying hogs other than those known
to be absolutely healthy.
1t is advisable at this time of year
to watch hogs carefully and if any
signs of illness appear, to call vet.
erinarian Immediately. If no veter.
marian is available, your county
agent or the U. S. specialist at Elk,
ton should be notified.
An ounce of hog cholera prevention
is worth ton of hog cholera "cure"

Spiders Mostly Deaf and Dumb.

Whether insects can hear is a dis
puted question. Early writer's say this
sense would seem to be highly devel-
oped in spiders and certain other In
sects because some species not only
make musical sounds but also are
great lovers of music. However, no
truth can be accredited to those old
romantic stories in which the hero,
confined in dungeon, charmed spiders
with sweet music and prognosticated
weather by observing their behavior.
Recent experiments show that spi-
ders are not only deaf, but most Of
them are dumb, only few being able
TO make sounds. Much has been writ
ten about the sense of nearing In in
sects, but critics still contend that it
has never been demonstrated beyond
doubt that any insect can really hear

COOPERATIVE EGG-MARKE EFT.
ING CAMPAIGN

Poultrymen of Maryland are be
coming more and more interested in
the cooperative egg-marketing cam
paign, which is being conducted by
the Maryland Farm Bureau Fedora
ton for memberships in the Atlantic
Coast Poultry Producers Association.
Judging from the enthusiasm being
shown by the commercial men as we'll
as the farm flock owners, it is pre-
dicted that within few weeks a suf-
ficient number of these members will
have been enrolled to insure the 1OO,-
600 hens required by the Atlantic
Coast Association before an egg
marketing Exchange can be opened
IN Baltimore. To date, 60 members
have signed up, representing some
thing like $4,000 birds.
Egg Circle Constitutions and mem
oershlp contracts have been prepared
In the office of State Secretary, NJ
Melvin Stewart. These will apply in
the formation of egg Circles in the
various County Farm Bureaus. The
chief object of these Circles will be
to improve the strain of the various
breeds OF poultry, to so handle the
Hooks as to produce more eggs of
uniform size and quality and to so
grade, clean and pack the eggs as to
guarantee them and thus create a
reputation in the markets operated
oy. the Atlantic Coast Association.
A membership campaign to sign I'D
the farm fiocks will be inaugurated in
Hartford County during the week OF
September 10 and a meeting of COM
mercial poultrymen of Howard ca
will be held at Elliott City, in the
near future. Caroline County will
soon begin the formation OF egg Cir
cles. One hennery man in that county
repots that ne shipped five cases of
eggs to the Atlantic Coast people
and that he received $500 more fol
the five cases than he would have re.
ceived had he shipped them to his
previous agency. In Caroline County
upward of 10000 birds have been
signed up.
Queen Anne County folks have been
shipping eggs to the New York mar.
ket and selling through the Atlantic
Coast Association. Mr.. H. B. Walker,
secretary of the Atlantic Coast AS.
ISOLATION, writes that his people are
much pleased with the quality of the
eggs coming from Maryland and
asks that we give him all we can.
The farm flock farmers of that coun-
ty are getting net returns of about
cents per dozen more than if they
had sold locally.

RACE OF LANDSCAPE LOVERS
Japaneee, Probably More Than Any
ether People, Can See Beauty In
Simple Countryside.

In spite of a fairly severe climate.
It Is with reluctance that the Japa-
nese people close their houses against
the landscape which Is for them
perpetually renewed spectacle of
beauty. The fundamental principle
on which Japanese taste Is based
would seem to be a constant applica-
ton of refinement and conservation
Of simplicity. A Japanese is accus-
toned to place a flower In his room,
not as an ornament, but as COM
panion. Buddhism has exalted in the
Japanese that sympathy for every
thing animate which is natural, 1t.
seems, to the various Asiatic peoples.
We are perpetually struck by the
Japanese tastes for a countryside
seen under snow or under moonlight.
The French child who tries his hand
at drawing first makes house or a
man; the little Japanese draws a tree
or the curve of finger nail. The
Japanese is one of the least migrant
of nations In spite OF the density Of
its population. Japan is not over
crowded. and In all the northern por-
ton of the country there is ample
space.-Baltimore American.

A NEW ANGLE

During the recent campaign and
election of Magnus Johnson as U. S
Senator in Minnesota, the public
gained the impression that he is a
radical. But Magnus Johnson is un-
doubtedly different type of a man
than the professional politician of the
accepted radical type.
He is hard worker, has raised q
large family and his wife and his
children are his assistants in running
the farm. A man who owns land,
farms it himself, earns his money
from the soil and wears real working
clothes covered with dirt and grease
accumulated during manly toll, must
have good stuff in him.
Whether johnson is obstructive
radical" remains to be seen. A ICON
structive" radical can exercise a far
wider influence than a "hard boiled
conservative"

tanned the following article. If quota
tion is correct, johnson has sounded
a wise keynote and shown himself a

Mr.. Johnson paid a tribute to the
dead President before discussing
economic problems. Good-fellowship
and service among business and pro-
fessional men and the farmer was
the keynote Of his talk.

wronged me-" said Mr.. johnson. The

The press should be truthful. The
people are entitled to know the truth
IF this country is to prosper and
to withstand the. onslaughts of rad
icalism we must show more love in
the churches; teach more considera-
ton in our schools and show more
charity between man and man."

TAXABLE BASIS INCREASED

The State Treasury will be largely
benefited by the re-assessment of
property, greatly adding to the tax
able basis, and increasing the state
tax approximately 100000. Half of
the 100000 will accrue in 1923 and
the remaining half in 1924.
Returns from enough counties have
been received by the State Tax Com
mission to warrant a forecast that
the States taxable basis will be in
creased this year by more than $685.
100000, the amount of increases will
be subject to the State tax rate of
thirty and thirteenth cents on
the $500 for 1928 and thirty and two
thirteenth cents on the 500 for 1924.
To date, complete returns have been
received from eight counties, and the
total increase in the taxable basis of
these eight counties roughly is $780,
100000. The counties with their tax
able basis for 1922 and for 1928 are:
Baltimore $81, 615,7O5 500, 1921, 145

Among the large counties yet to

in the taxable basis of these and the
other counties which have not yet re-
