the state-control system in 1884,
State Treasurer Ray N. Shannon
reported. A distribution report pre-
pared in his office showed S1O,-
209,256.42 has been collected by
the state from those sources from the
time sale of beer was legalized in 1884

excise tax. 1927 ,723.17; liquor licenses,

to the general fund, as was half of the
total received from liquor licenses. The
other half from that source went to

The states general fund also bene-
fitted from the other three sources, but
the distribution to counties was made
solely from the income from beer

small homes demonstrations series of
low-cost small homes. Typical is the
straight line kitchen and bathroom
plumbing installation. Note that the
position of the bath in the second
floor plan places it directly above the
kitchen in the first-floor plan. This
economy principle is carried through
in wiring, heating and other use units

30 national organizations interested in
the building industry are participating
in the national small homes demon

of the 1889 campaign is to promote
the building Of sufficient number of

The machine, and the money there
in, was confiscated by the court.
In their defense the two distributors
through their attorneys Long & Rob-
ms and John William Long contended
that in view of the fact that the Mary
land Legislature had legalized pinball
machines, and licensed them, they
were unaware of their illegality. They
alleged that an element of skill en-
tered into successful playing Of the
machines.
Found guilty by the court on Tues

EFFORTS TO PRESERVE
HISTORIC OAK TREE

An effort to purchase and preserve
the famous Wye Oaks at Wye Mills is
to be made by Alexis Shriver, State
director of historical markers, who
has launched a campaign to buy the
tree and its environs and turn it over
to the State as q park.
Mr.. Shriver has already secured an
option on the two adjacent houses
which stand, one about thirty feet and
the other not more than fifty feet
from the trunk of the wide spreading
tree and on the surrounding two acres.
The homes under option are the resi-
dences of Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Kin
namon and Mr.. and Mrs. John Knox.
If either of the houses were to catch
fire, Mr.. Shriver believes, the result
ing blaze would probably kill the tree.
The nearer house is built entirely OF
wood which would burn like finder.
The other which dates back to Colon
ial days is of brick and frame con-
struction but in Mr.. Shriver's opinion
is also a general menace.
Mr.. Shriver hopes to raise money to
take up the options. Once the fund
is raised his plan is to rase the houses
create small park and divert the
highway slightly to give the venerable
oak further clearance. It might be-
possible, he suggests, to sell acorns
and slips from the tree for planting
by people desiring a descendant of the
lordly oak.
The Wye Oak, which is 95 feet high
with a spread of 165 feet and a cir
cumstance of 81 feet, is said to be in
excellent state of preservation. Sew
eral years before his death the late
De Courcy w. Thorn spent $1,000 to
have it put in perfect condition.
No other tree in the country can
match the Wye Oak, according to tree
experts who estimate it's age at about
400 years. It's only serious rival also
stands on the Eastern Shore in the
churchyard of st. Paul's' Episcopal
Church at Chestertown. Several years
ago residents of Chestertown advanced
the claims to superiority Of their tree
but the Wye Oak proved to have a
nine inch advantage.

100000 FOR
PREVENTION OF
BANGS DISEASE

with the additional amounts pro-
v;led for the various activities Of the
Ssate Board of Agriculture in Gov
eynor O'Conor's Supplemental Budget,
the State now stands committed to
spend in excess of 100000 during the
two-year period ahead, for the con-
troll Of Bangs Disease, the Japanese
Beetle, and various poultry, bee and
farm scourges. This is the largest
total ever provided for such purposes
in the history of the State.
Chief beneficiary under the budget
provisions are the dairymen of the
various counties, with one quarter of
a million dollars set aside for the
campaign against Bangs Disease a.
mong cattle. While, of course, not
confined to cows, and in fact contract
able by humans, the effects of this
costly and annoying disease with re-
gard to human beings can be render
ed practically nil if it is controlled
among cows. With less than half OF
the counties of the state area tested,
however, and herds totaling many
thousands still to be tested, the task
confronting the State Board is an enor
NOUS one, a fact recognized by Gov
srnor O"Conor when he provided the
huge $25O,OO0 campaign fund.
A good second on the list, however,
in the obnoxious and destructive Japa-
nese Beetle, towards the eradication
Of which 100000 has been allotted
GO. 900 for each of the years of 1910
and 1941, and an additional 100000 in
cluded in the bond issue bill for I'M
mediate use. Maryland has led the
country in the fight against this par
ticular pest, and, with the funds now
available, will be in position to aug
ment its past efforts.
Diseases peculiar to poultry and
bees have been given $4,000 and ST.
600 per year, respectively, while $4'-
500 per year is set aside for the fight
against both Tobacco and Strawberry
Diseases. To insure vigorous enforce
went of the Fresh Egg Law, $4,000 is
available for each of the next two
years, with an added $4,000 for the
hiennium for soil conservation and
drainage.
Maryland State Grange & Farm Blu
reau officials have waged an unremit-
ting fight for the provisions enumerat
ed above, and are to be congratulated
upon their success in convincing the
authorities of the need for these
funds.
Typical of the many expressions
OF appreciation received by Governor
O'Conor as a result of his interest in
and activity on behalf Of farm prob
lem, Is this letter from the Maryland
State Horticultural Society:
my dear Governor O'Conor:
I greatly appreciate your letter of
March 81, regarding the Japanese
