BALTIMORE, November 1.-Spanish
chestnut trees Will be planted in
Maryland to take place of the fast
disappearing crop native to the State,
according to F. W. Besley, State for
ester.
e. Stanley Gary, owner of a large
estate near Gainesville, has offered
the department a large quantity Of
Spanish chestnut seeds, which will be
planted at the State tree nursery at
College Park.
Others will be imported and upon
attaining sufficient growth will be
distributed through the State. The
Spanish variety is more desirable, be
cause it grows straight in stands
instead of spreading out.
Planting of shade trees along State
highways in Maryland is being fos
tered by civic organizations of sew
eral communities, said Mr.. Besley.
Trees have been planted along
roads approaching Cumberland. Ha
gerstown, Emmitsburg, Westminster
and Frederick. A widespread pro-
gram of tree planting along State
roads should be adopted. Mr.. Besley
said This has been done in Penn
sylyania, and shade trees have been
set out along all important State
roads, he said.

very long, sharp and slightly curved.
The animal is shy, but when cornered

serious wound. Its method Is TO low

it's enemy with the horns lowered.
The Jemsbock Is considered the most
valuable recent aquisition since the
animals are very hard to secure. They
have disappeared from the settled
sections of South Africa and now
must be captured in the veldt and
transported long distances. They do

DRIFT To COOLIDGE
SEEN IN N. DAKOTA
State Formerly Assigned to
La Toilette Now Claimed
by Republicans.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

cIkClal bispdIcH 10 ne Star.
BISMARk, n. D., November 1.-The
eve of the election finds impartial
political observers placing North Da-
kota in the doubtful column, although
three weeks ago, the majority of politi-
cal wiseacres were of the opinion that
Senator La Toilette would carry the
state handily.
A marked change in sentiment to-
ward President Coolidge ascribed in
part to better feeling among the
farmers. who this Fall have the de-
sired combination of good crops and
good prices, is apparent, and has been
SO pronounced in the last week that
Coolidge managers assert with convic-
tion that their candidate will carry the
state. The Davis candidacy is not
seriously regarded in North Dakota.
The same contented feeling among
fakmers and business men is affecting
the State political ticket, where a
coalition is seeking to elect Halvor
Hafverson. Democrat. governor. over
A< G. Sorlie, Republican nominee in
dorsed by the non-partisan league
While it is generally admitted that
Coolidge twill run ahead of Halverson
his hackers are asserting that it is IAN
anH-radical year" in North Dakota.
M Chances Held Lightly,
Impartial observers give Halvorson
only a fighting chance to win. He
IS campaigning on state issues alone
driving against the state ownership
of industries program of the Non
Partisan League. Sorlie is being
charged with having been an active
anember of the Ku Klux Klan, a
charge he denies.
sOf especial interest is the resul,
i'm the second congressional district
where Thomas Hall, Republican, is
aligned against Gerald P. Nye. La
Toilette candidate. Since the State
has one avowed Coolidge and one
Avowed La Toilette representative
the second district result will. settle
the States vote in the House OF Rep
yesentatives, should the presidentia
election be deadlocked. Both are
candidates to fill an unexpired term
to March 4 and for a two-year term

Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md. November l.
Montgomery County Democrats expect
to roll up substantial majorities for
their presidential and congressional
candidates at next Tuesdays election.
They express confidence that the
county will not only give Mr.. Davis
a larger margin over President Cool
idge than the 379 majority given Mr..
Cox four years ago, but predict that
David c. Winebrenner, their candi-
date for Congress. will carry the
county with 500 or more votes to
spare, notwithstanding that the Re
publican candidate. Representative
Frederick N Zihlman, received 281
more votes in the county two years
ago than did his Democratic opponent,
Frank W. Mish, and led his Demo-
cratic opponent in 1920 by a some
what similar margin.
Although Montgomery county is
normally Democratic by something
like 1000. the Republican leaders are
counting on the candidacy of Senator
La Toilette drawing very much more
largely from the Democrats than
