MORE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
NEEDED

Addition of 906 persons to the
prohibition enforcement force is
contemplated by Assistant Secretary
Andrews, it was revealed when tn,
House Appropriations Committed
recommended supplemental appro
priation of $2,686,760 for that
branch of government activity.
The amount will be added to
$40. previously appropriated
and will bring the enforcement
squad up to 1903 persons, including
300 engaged in narcotic work. The
fund will care for special squads
for work in beer and Industrial
alcohol cases and additional men
tor border patrol, investigators
lndercoyer agents and others.
An intimate picture of the costs
hopes and difficulties of the Federal
prohibition agencies was placed be-
lore the House in the report, which
contained testimony given recently
by Genral Andrews before the
Appropriations Committee.
He appeared to urge additional
funds for enforcement, which are
provided in the second deficiency
appropriation bill reported by the
committee.
General Andrews placed the total
cost of prohibition at $28,5OO,OOO
said one of his chief difficulties in
enforcement was handling dry
agents who accept $1,000 a month
to look the other way and con
ceded, under questioning by Repre-
sentative Madden, Republican, Hi.
nois, the chairman, that he was an
optimist.
He told Mr.. Madden that, al,
though he might be a ridiculous
| optimist, he expected to see "real
beer off the market by Christmas, >
and when the chairman asked if il
would be Just for the winter
months" he replied:
mo, 1 mean off the market"
This colloquy came after the pro
hibition chief had estimated tina
100000 gallons of industrial
| alcohol was diverted TO bootlef
whiskey last year and that wher
cut" this represented at least go
100000 gallons of liquor.
Industrial alcohol diversions were
confined largely in the~"big manu-
featuring sections east OF tn,

for increasing the size of the en-
forcement unit to cope with thi

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF

In ancient times, the seven won
ders of the world were said to be
Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of
Diana at Ephesus, the statue of
Jupiter at Olympia, the Colossus
of rhodes, and the Pharos of
Alexandria.
These were the outstanding fea
lures in ancient history and ever
with the limited means OF com
muhication that existed in that day.
they ware well-known by the people
of the old world.
What are the seven wonders of
the world today ? That. question
would be hard to answer. Even in
this modern age, with world wide
hard to settle on any seven out
standing features that would be ac-
cepted by all the people of the
world as being the seven wonders.
If this question We're put to a vote
of the people undoubtedly radio or

UP in the race when the results were
counted. In the world in general
and in North America in particular,
radio plays an important part in
the entertainment of millions and
millions of people every day. Well
balanced programs are broadcast
from radio stations, either singiy or
enchain from almost every section
of the country.
A broadcasting station operating
on a given wave length may reach
certain sections OF the country far
away, while other areas close at
hand may not be able to hear the
program at all. 1t is largely a
matter of atmospheric conditions
that would. limit the program to
only certain fortunate people, but
where stations are located in various
parts of the land and connected by
long distance telephone lines, the
same program is transmitted to
each station and is broadcast stimuli
taneously over a wide area. The

HISTORY OF FARM PRICES
In MARYLAND

A search for farm prices of half
century or more ago is being made
by r. F. Hale, representing the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the University of Mary
land Experiment Station in an
agricultural price survey of the
State.
In his effort to discover what
farmers were receiving for their
products prior to 1910 or 1912 Mr..
Hale is endeavoring to locate old
diaries, account books, newspapers
or other records which may be
hidden away with other relics of
bygone days.
The aim of this investigation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hale, is to collect
data as to prices farmers received
for farm products grown in Mary
land; to construct comparable
series of monthly and annual prices
for each of the important agricul-
tural products of the State for as
long a period as seems upon in
vestigation to be advisable, and to
construct for the State an index
number of farm prices.
1t is believed that a series of
prices for the important farm
products of the state, extending back
to the early days, will suggest ways
of preventing the recurrence of
periods of price deflation which have
proved disastrous to farmers and
merchants alike in the past. At the
same time, wealth of material re
garding the history of agricultural
development in this country will un-
doubtedly be discovered.$
The actual prices farmers received
in the past for the various products
sold, are being secured from records
and account books of farmers,
dealers, merchants, and agricul-
tural organizations; from files OF
county newspapers quoting local
prices of farm products; and from
important or primary markets.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture hopes to extend this
work to other states in the future
and in the meantime is locating ole
records and account books and other
possible sources of price information
anywhere in the United States
Anyone knowing where such infor-
nation can be obtained would
greatly aid the work by reporting il
to R. F. Hale, College Park, Mary
land. The results of these investi
cations will be published in this
paper from time to time.

A study of the cost of living in 81
representative cities of the United
States, under the auspices OF the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, u. s.
Department Of Labor, indicates that
taxation has increased faster thar
my other element entering into thu
cost of living.
On January 1st of this year, the
cost of living in these cities was
1870 over the 1913 level, while the
cost of government, as expressed in
taxation, has risen 20O@o. Federal
taxation which was 1922 per capita
in 1913, has risen to $25; state
,axation, from S31S to $3.50; and
local taxation, from $12.63 to S35.
From these figures it will be seer
chat the cost OF federal taxes is By
times, and state and local taxes ~
times as great as in 1913.

MARYLAND'S CHAMPION
CATTLE JUDGING
TEAM

Maryland's champion dairy cattle
judging team, the third from the
State to represent the United States
in the international judging contest
in England, sailed from New York
Friday, June IS, abroad the steam
ship, Pennland.
The members of the team, Arthur
Dunnigan, of Hartford county, Ralph
Walker! of Montgomery county, and
Stanley B. Sutton, of Kent county,
were high individuals in the State
dairy cattle judging contest at the
Timonium State Fair last September
and won first place in the contest at
the National Dairy Show at Indian
apolis the following month.
Prior to sailing, the gold cup
which the Maryland team will de-
fend, was formally turned over to
the Maryland boys by Secretary OF
Agriculture Jardine.
H. B. Derrick, county agent Of
Kent county, and DR.. F. B. Bonn
berger, assistant director of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, are accompanying the team.
While abroad Dr. Bomberger expects
to attend and take part in the con-
ference of the International Com
mission for the Improvement of
Rural Life, which will be held in
Brussels the latter part of July,
Following the conference, DR.. Bonn
berger will make an extensive trip
through Denmark with other Amer
lean delegates to study the Danish
system of agriculture and partic-
ulary the highly developed system
of cooperative marketing.

and Mr.. Stanhope said that he was
surprised that a woman with the
good business judgment I had should
be getting such a small income as
those bonds paid scarcely anything.
He. said that should make my money
work harder for me. He knew I must
have good business judgment, he said,
because l brought my children up so
beautifully. He offered to take the
bonds and change them for his stock"
"Oh, Lord!" exclaimed Aunt Emmy,
did he give you receipt"
why, of course, he was the incest
man. But Junior said after he left
that he didn't like him. He said he
looked slick. Boys are so funny.

Aunt Emmy. "Why, oh why. don't
you consult your banker, who under.

"That was different" said Mrs. Nor

be back SOON"
Just then the evening paper came.
Aunt Emmy glanced at it, then read it
ATTIC lively. Her expression grew Sc
rious. She handed the paper to Mrs.
Norris. On the front page was an ac-
count of a financial scandal. The
house that sold Mrs. Norris her min
ing stock was involved and the men
who ran the business had been indict-
ed for fraud.-A. B. Aynles.

genni behind this modern Aladdin's
Lamp.

Telephone pole lines and wire

in the simultaneous broadcasting
of the diversified programs as is the

A tree is a very strange animal
when you consider it.
A tree has a bark yet makes no
noise.
A tree leaves in the spring still
remains stationary all the year.
A tree dresses up in summer
when its warm and leaves off its
clothes in the winter when its cold.
Indeed a tree is a strange animal.

Losses to American farmers from

Losses to American farmers from
soil erosion amount to S1O0,OOO,OO
annually, says the United States
Department of Agriculture This
washing away of the cream OF farm
lands is caused chiefly by direct
action Of heavy rains, and by the
freezing and thawing of saturated
soil, followed by heavy rains. 1t is
most effectively prevented or con
trolled by terracing. Ridge terraces
are best adapted on moderate slopes,
while for steep slopes bench terraces
give best results.
