mits weeds and briars TO grow in adj
joining pastures or in the areas near
TO fences surrounding the fields.
Everyone has some idea of the dis
reputable appearance of farms where
fences are tumbling down and all sort
of rubbish and underground conveys
the impression of a rundown place.
Yet 1t is not uncommon to find dis
gruntled agriculturists who complain
of weeds in their fields and low prices
offered for their land.
An authority recently said that way
side weeds should be destroyed FOR
these reasons:
"They act as centers of weed infec-
tion for adjoining fields.
They sometimes are carried for
miles by vehicles and passing animals.
They harbor harmful insects and
plant diseases.
They create unsanitary conditions.
"rhey are unslghtly."

fence corners which have been neg

of other corners which have been per-
mitted to lie uncleaned and unsightly ?

DEATH OF JUDGE TUCK

This city lost one Of its most
distinguished sons on Saturday
when Judge Someryillc Pinkncy
Tuck died i'll Mentonc. France
Born in Annapolis ~ years ago
Judge Tuck, despite the fact that
he had spent a great many years
OF his life abroad. always held a
tender spot in his heart for his
boyhood home, aud it is with a
feeling of profound sorrow that
his many friends here learn Of his
passing.
Long before his death Judge
Tuck had achieved a fame in in
ternational affairs that few iii this
country attain--a fame. in fact
which was a most fiattcring tri-
butte TO his wide knowledge OF
world affairs, his judicial ability
deep INTEL equality, and high i'll
tegrity Ills duties as a member
Of the Mixed Tribunal Of Egypt
before which court the conflicting
claims of foreigners and natives
are adjudicated, were perform
ed SO ably and attracted such
wide attention that he was later
appointed to the Court Of APP
peals Bench of that body. This
position he filled with much sue
cess for about fifteen years imme-
diately preceding his death A
complete review of his long and
varied activities in international
affairs discloses the real bril-
hancy OF the useful. public serv-
ice he rendered. His record OF
service, as matter of fact. not
only reflected great credit upon
himself but brought added lustre
TO his native city and State.
In his death, St Johns Col
lege, which institution he attend
ed during his early youth, loses
one OF its best friends. Like his
brother. the late Philemon II.
Tuck. OF Baltimore, Judge Tuck
always @vinced the deepest inter
est IN the progress and welfare
of the historic institution up on
the hill, even though his duties
took him far away from the an
cient seat OF learning And all
N. Johns men sincerely mourn
his leave-taking and join in the
wave of general sorrow that his
death causes.

figure of youth. beauty and cleverness.

Italy took the name, of Helen and
TRANSFORMED it into the soft musical
Elena. Provence contributed Alienor.
which became Eleonore in France and
Lemore in Spain. 1t was finally
brought to England by good Queen
Eleanor and was long used as royal
name by the Plantagenets as Elinor.
Italy contributed one more charming
derivative in Leonora d'Estes, object Oh

Other countries brought the distn-

bear upon Helen, resulting in the
