Collections For
Land Bank Loans
In Excellent Shape
Talmage Watkins, Local Officer
OF Federal Loan Body,
Pleased With Results

Collections of instailmenks on Fed
eral Land Bank loans in the Balti-
more district in October amounted TO
SO per cent of the maturities during
the month, according to a statement
received by Talmage L. Watkins,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the Western
Maryland National Farm Loan Assoc
citation, from Chas. S. Jackson, presi-
dent of the Baltimore land bank.
During the first ten months of 1884
collections amounted to more than 80
per cent of the maturing land bank
loan installments, as compared to sc
per cent during 1888, according to the
statement. Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia are in
cluded in the Baltimore farm credit
or land bank district.
Payment of loan installments by
tobacco, peanut and cotton farmers
has been made more promptly than
for several days." Mr.. Jackson said.
Judging from the prompt collections
of loan instalbr I 'ha higher
prices received : So, 4
co farms it looi !, beie rs.cco 4'Srfa-
ing is again becoming a profitable
business. While cotton prices could be
better, so far the prices received are
we'll above the cost of production.
collections of installments on the
first and second mortgage loans made
by the Land Bank Commissioner dur
ing the past year and a half under
the farm debt refinancing program
have also been very satisfactory, v
Mr.. Jackson said. "Over 90 per cent
of all installments maturing from
June /, 1888 through Oct. 81, 1884
had been collected by the latter date"
Mr.. Watkins said that more than
500, 100000 of Federal land bank and
Land Bank Commissioners loans are
now outstanding in the Baltimore dis
trict, representing over $4,000 farm
mortgage loans.

timOre; First Hanging

The facts disclose that this man was

Arguments Heard
On Ballot Recount
In Montgomery
Judges Urner And Willard Take
Election Cases Under Advise
ment At Rockville

The petition for a recount of
votes cast for county commissioners
in the last election is too vague and
general to be answered by the vic
torious candidates. Attorney Vivian
Simpson said yesterday in Montgom-
cry County Circuit Court in oppos-
ing the petition.
Also arguing for the demurrer
filed against the petition, Attorney
F. Barnard Welsh contended the
petition should have made definite
charges against definite precincts.
The Court of Appeals has ruled, he
said, that ballot boxes may be opened
only on specific charges of irregu-
iarity. He also attacked the con-
tention of the losing candidates that
the entire group of votes cast for
county commissioner should be
thrown out when the ballots were
wrongly marked in voting for a sin
gle commissioner.
Supporting the petition, Attorney
Joseph C. Cissel pointed ont that
IL asked specific relief for specific
causes. He claimed that in some
cases where two tally Sheets did not
agree, the judges would fail to mark
one until additions to the other had
evened them. He also alleged that
the Judge of one precinct failed to
let watchers see the ballot clearly.
Arguments on the demurrer were
completed yesterday and Chief
Justice Hammond Urner and Asso-
ciate Judge Arthur D. Willard took
the case under consideration. The
judges did not say when decision
would be made.
The original recount petition was
made on behalf of John B. Diamond
. defeated in the Second District by
Frank III. Karin, and Raleigh S
Chinn, who lost in the Third District
Ito Charles D. King.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco.

HORSE TRADERS CAUGHT the
eye of history long before David
Harum was written. When it wasn't
horses, it was mules. Baalam was a
great mule-rider and we doubt wheth-
er Caesar ever mounted any steed
other than the lowly donkey. But
it makes no difference in this story.
Did you ever hear the one about two
traders who were about to drive a
bargain when the owner of the horse
explained that the equine had one bad
fault. "What is that, asked the
purchaser. "He will sit on grape
fruit" asserted the owner. "Well that
is not so bad" answered the buyer, 81
will keep him away from grapefruit"
The sale was made. Later in the day,
both the buyer and horse limped into
the village where the sale had been
transacted, both muddy, begrimed and
wringing wet. "What do you mean
by misrepresenting this horse?" said
the purchaser. "Why / told you that
ne had one fault" said the former
owner. eyes, you did," admitted the
buyer, "but you didn't say that he
would also sit down on tish." We Won
der If Bill Dosh, Clay Plummer or
Herman Rabbit ever pulled that one.

CHRISTMAS WILL BE here soon.
Shades of st. Nicholas, Santa Claus
and Kris Krin0lel Rut oh. the fnn
d little bit Of sentiment lurking
around that corner where we have
been looking for nothing but PROS
perity. Santa Claus is one fellow who
cares nothing for depressions or in
fiations. He goes his merry way and
God help the man or women who fails
to make his way easier or his path
more smooth.
i YOU KNOW, THIS XMAS seal
sale stuff has grown to be so mat
ter of fact, that quite a few of us
overlook its Importance. Each year
we are confronted with its appeal.
But just think of the good that is
being done, of the thousands of
youngsters who are aided every year
through the sale of Xmas seals. 1t
should make those of US who are old
err and less sentimental really believe
in a Santa Claus.

and that the rise and fall of the
tides rids the drainage bitches of
stagnant water and promotes the
growth of vegetation on which the
wildfowl feed.
In commenting on Mr.. LeCOmpte's
statement as to the value to the
general public in the preservation
Of wild game, Mr.. COrkran asks him
Have you ever though of trying to
balance this intangible value
against the great economic loss, part
of which can be readily calculated,
caused by the swarms of mosqui-
toes that inhabit our salt tidal mar
shes of this country? New Jersey
alone estimates that mosquito con-
troll costing $6,0O0.O00 has added
close to $500. 0.O00,0 900 to the real es-
tate value of their seashore proper
ties. Also in the matter of milk pro-
duction, checked through creamery
and transportation companies, rec
ords show as much as so per cent
or more increase in milk production
aftel mosquito control, and we are
finding the same thing in our check
up in Delaware, though our pro-
gress is yet less than a year old
One salient point Of objection Of
fered by the Maryland game war
den encOmpassed the question: did
it ever occur to you that the food
ing of these areas instead of drain
ing them would be more valuable
than the cutting of bitches and the
draining of said areas" to which
Mr. COrkran replied:
Flooding is a well known prin-
ciple of mosquito control. There are
certain areas in our State where we
will doubtless food rather than
drain the marsh and this flooding
will be carried on to depJh cOnsid-
crably more than the previous two
or three inches of waite: which in
termittently stands on these lads. |
This alone. will furnish many more |
acres for wild life than heretofore
Obtained. Flooding in mosquito con-
t.Ol work Is followed In many |
places where ditching is not pTac-
t:Cable due to low elevation of |
swamp lands with respec: to adJa-
