IT happens very often that in the
i course of the days fishing you
will catch a fish and, having no
scales with you, be forced to wait
until you return at night to weigh
him.
In the meantime your fish has
naturally dried out to a certain ex-
tent and therefore will weigh less
than when first caught.

Prince Georges Heads Will

The Prince Georges county
board of commissioners was
yesterday invited to attend a
meeting and luncheon of all
boards Of commissioners Of
Maryland, to be held in Fred
erick, Friday, to discuss ways
and means of converting the
State gasoline tax to county
use. At present such funds go
to the State.
The invitation follows closely
upon a joint resolution adopted
by commissioner boards Of the
Eastern Shore counties.
Stressing the financial need Of
farmers, and the 200 per cent
jump in farm taxes compared
with a 80 per cent increase in
the value of farm products, the
Eastern Shore resolution would
cut all State and county expenses.
The resolution provides:
Reversion of part of the gaso-
line and automobile taxes to the
use of counties for the upkeep Of
county roads.
Limitation of school levies to
80 cents per 500. At present
the levy stands at 81 cents per
$100.
Let the counties keep all or
part of the automobile law vio-
lation fines.
Cut all salaries of public Of
ficials making more than $1,000
per year, from 10 to IS per cent.
Oppose all pensions paid re-
tired elected officials.

board has, as yet, failed to in

In Boston the elder Payne was a teacher of
elocution and the son inherited and learned all
that the elder Payne could offer. In his early
teens Payne constructed an amateur playhouse,
assisted by friend, and they went In heavily
for private theatricals.
Master Betty, actor of old England and then
in vogue for his interpretations of stage char
acters, became Payne's idol. 1t his ambi-
ton one day to win even greater acclaim; and
the parents viewed this growing love for the
stage with alarm 1t must be stopped, and so.
at thirteen, Payne was packed off to New York
to work in a counting house where his uncle,
until his death, had held desk.
Such an occupation held little interest for
Payne. Perfunctorily remaining at work, he de-
voted his spare moments to publishing in Sc
cret a paper known as the Thespian Mirror.
AS the name indicates 1t dealt with the stage,
and the bright and clever reviews of dramatics
to be found in it caught the interest of New
Yorkers. William Coleman, editor of the Evening
Post investigated the journal, and Payne's Sc
cret out.
"Why, it's a boy of ffteenl" excitedly COM
mented those who had wondered at the identity
of the Thespian Mirrors editor. Literary circles
lionized him, and so much success for one so
young naturally began to go to Payne's head.
Interested friends decided that he must receive
more schooling, and a patron was found to
finance him at Union college, Schenectady.
Up the Hudson he went and began a new
phase of life; one that lasted only two years.
He lived with the head of the institution, one
Doctor Mott, and enthusiastically began another
paper known as Pastime, which was an i'm
mediate success But poor Doctor Mott con-
fessed himself quite unable to discipline his
pupil properly. Payne often disappeared for
days at a time and was otherwise unruly. He
was handsome; his talents had been recog-
nized and he was eager to begin his stage ca
| reer.
| This opportunity came after the death of his
mother, when his father fell into financial diff
culties Payne left college and returned to
New York, seeking role in the theater. In 1909,
at the age of eighteen he appeared as Norval
| in Douglas" one of Master Bettys famous
roles and achieved astounding popularity.
| But despite this success Paynes father wished
him to give up the stage and the young man
acceeded to the elders wishes. He consented
to found a school but it was dismal financial
failure so again Payne turned to the stage
acting in Shakespearean drama in Boston and
elsewhere Finally in January 1913, accompan-
led by his brother, Payne sailed for London to
seek a stage career there. But an unexpected
event delayed his theaterical debut abroad. Eng.

Eleven-Year-Old Miss Has

Chicago.-Suffering from a strange

Crop United States Grows
but Does Not Use.

Washington. "Ginseng's popu-
larity with the Chinese seems to
defy falling markets and political
disorders, for last year more than
a quarter million pounds were ex-
ported from the United States to
Hong Kong" says a bulletin from
the National Geographical society.
"Ginseng has been an item in
United States commerce since Colo
NAL times. The first American car
90 boat that cleared New York for
Hong Kong, in 1884, carried gin
seng. The Chinese drink ginseng
tea for it's tonic quality. Though
we raise it and sell it, the tea has
never been highly regarded in the
United States, and very little is
consumed here.
"Ginseng is a plant that grows
from to 20 inches high. has oval
shaped leaves, bears greenishyel-
low blossoms In midsummer and
red berries in the fall. 1t thrives
in mountain areas of temperate
North America and Asia. The
above-ground portion of the plant
is not utilized; it is the thick root
that enters commerce.
"Long before Marco Polo passed
down the Cathay coast, ginseng tea
was a favorite tonic among the no
bility and wealthy people of China.
The poor could not afford to drink
the brew. It was once worth its
weight in gold. Last years ship

"Ginseng played an important
part in oriental politics In the Sew
enteenth century. Manchu mobiles,
seeing their supply of wild ginseng
depleted, made laws to protect
their plants against the raids of
southern Chinese. Protection of
ginseng resources was one of the
reasons for the laws which exclud-
ed all Chinese from the domain of
the Manchus. Operations of GIN

Chinese prefer the wild ginseng,
although the American layman can
not detect the difference between

Perhaps the first American GIN

discovered the plants while making
their rounds. Later search for the
plant led professional hunters into
the trackless American forests.
Thus ginseng helped open up new
regions to the Colonists.
wild ginseng thrives In noun
tain regions from Minnesota to
Maine and southwark to the Gulf
coast. AS In the Orient, domestic
wild roots became scarce and high
prices paid for the roots led enter
prising Americans to establish
farms. Some growers have profit
ed from ginseng cultivation, but
small fortunes also have been lost.
1t takes from six to seven years of
expert care TO develop a mature
root. Some domestic ginseng farms
have been established in the woods
where the wild roots thrive. Others
have been established in clearings,
but in these cases the farms are
rooted so that only one-fourth of
the days sunshine will strike the
plants.
