Extra y. S. Judge
Urged For State

Baltimore.-A recommendation for
another district judge for Maryland
was made in Washington at a confer.
ence of senior circuit judges with
Chief Justice William Howard Taft.
Judge Charles A. Woods, Of South
Carolina, senior of this district,
brought UP the situation in Maryland
which resulted in the recommends
ton.
Judge John c. Rose, also of the same
circuit, was not present, as the in
vitation was only to seniors. Judge
Rose said:
This recommendation for another
judge for Maryland is very important.
For Is years, from 1898, or even up to
1915, there was oman average of only
400 cases a year in the United States
Court here. After that the number
steadily increased, and before l left
the average was 1900. Now Judge
Soper has about 1000 year. l can
speak for myself in saying that 1900
year was too many. 1t is not fair
to a mans health, it is not fair to the
lawyers and it is not fair to the liti-
giants"

State Game Fund
Shows Increase

Annapolis.-Receipts of the State
Game Department for the fiscal year
ended September 80 amounted to
$114,223, which is an increase of $3,507
over the preceding ~ months, E. Lee
LeCompte, Game Warden, announced.
The income, which is derived from
the sale of hunting licenses, is used to
restock the State with game, both by
importing it from other States and
countries and raising it on the State
game farm.
Despite the fact that receipts were
larger, the number of licenses issued
was 347 below last year. The 81 county
licenses. however, were the only ones
in less demand than the year before.
The increase of $50 in the number of
SIS Statewide licenses issued more
than made up for the 1888 fewer 81
licenses. Also there were 46 more
$40 nonresident licenses issued.

Collection of Seeds
Is Planned BY State

nnapolis.-Enough seed to raise
approximately 100000 trees will be
collected by the State within the next
two weeks, according to State Forester
F. W. Besley.
Assistant State Forester Fred B.
Trenk will conduct survey to de-
termine the sections where the seed
may be obtained, and deputy forest
wardens will gather it.
The seed will be planted at the State
nurseries at College Park and the
young trees later distributed for plant
ing in the State. Two years. growth
is necessary before pines may be re-
planted, while hardwoods may be
transplanted when one year old, Mr..
Besley said.
More pine seed will be gathered
than any other kind, 100 bushels of
this seed being desired. This, if every
seed terminated, would grow 100000
pine trees, according to Mr.. Besley.
In addition to pine-tree seed, the
following varieties will be collected:
Red oak, tulip poplar, locust, sugar
maple and black walnut. Added in
terest in reforestation in the State
has made the elaborate seed-planting
program necessary, Mr.. Besley said.
This year, of pines alone, the Forestry
Department has distributed approx
mately 10000 trees.

Oscar Lesser, of the State Tax Com

Maryland
State Briefs
State Faces Delay
In Getting Trophies

Annapolis of Congress to
provide funds for the transportation
of war trophies may deprive Maryland
of her share of the relics for many
months, Adjt.-Gen. Milton A. .Reckord
announced He stated that no State
funds to bring the trophies here are
available.
General Reckord said the State has
enough funds to transport the trophies
to the various towns in Maryland, but
not to bring them from the place near
New York where they now are stored,
He expressed the hope that Congress
would provide the necessary funds at
its next session.
Present plans are to place part OF
the trophies in the War Memorial
Building and allocate the remainder to
other cities and towns throughout the
State. Governor Richie appointed
General Reckord to distribute Mary.
lands share.
Numerous requests have been re.
ceived from smaller towns in Mary.
land for cannon and caissons to be
placed in the public squares. Smaller
trophies may be distributed among
patriotic and historic societies, it is
said.
Maryland may accept all or any part
Of its allotted share, General Reckord
declared. If the State does not accept
the trophies within year they will
be sold as surplus material or de-
stroyed, he added.
A large amount of the material is
stored at Port Newark and Norfolk
depots, which. have been abandoned.
The trophies range from howitzers to
side arms and from mess kits to belt
buckles.

THE oPTIMIsT

JENKINS was an optimist and. fnci.
- dentally, he was bald. He was not
toO-credulous optimist who invested
his money In every thinly rinseled gold
brick which was presented to him. but
ne believed In things and in people;
he had enthusiasm; he was cheerful
under defeat.
II the day was gloomy, Jenkins was
hopeful that the sun would shine to-
morrow; If prices were low or the
crops not so abundant as might be de-
sired, he could always detect indica-
tons Of Improvement in the immediate
future. Things are seldom so bad as
they seem, he argued.
When some local enterprise. or I'M
dertaking or project seemed hopelessly
involved or on its last legs, it was al
ways Jenkins who was called in, and
he could so inspire enthusiasm and
confidence that more often than other
wise, the venture succeeded in pulling
out of It's hole. He made the Country
club go when it seemed dying of finan-
,ial anaemia; he put new life into the
Baptist church when religious drought
seemed about to devastnte it; and
when local business was stagnating
and civic enthusiasm was at its low
est ebb he organized a Kiwanis club
that Immediately put the old town on
the map.
AS said at the outset, jenkins was
oald and this condition was to him a
matter of considerable concern. Here,
as usual, however, his optimism came
10 the front. He believed that ulti-
mately he would find remedy for the
condition of his shiny poll. and he kept
at 1t persistently and cheerfully.
He tried a number of nostrums, and
his friends, knowing his hirsute am
oitions, recommended others to him.
One of these guaranteed success. do
not drop any of this liquid" the d.
rections read, where you do not wish
hair to grow" This remedy seemed
too dangerous to handle, so Jenkins
svaded it, but he kept on with others,
fully confident that he would attain
success.
Hair IS a pretty difficult substance
10 develop on billiard ball. but may
be 1t can be done. The last time
saw Jenkins he had very respectable
showing of curly locks. Maybe it was
faith, maybe it was persistence, pos
sibly it was the regular and vigorous
massage which he gave the top Of his
head, and it Is possible that it was
pure optimism that brought about the
result. At any rate. jenkins sue
