and some countians, and it resulted in .a sort of 50—50 agreement.
Mr. Le Compte has agreed to give Baltimore county at least two deputy game wardens and to appoint them by March 15, one of whose appointment is being urged is that of Mr. George Jes-sop, of Cockeysville, former Chief Game Warden for Baltimore county, under the old local law and a man whose record as such, should make his selection a surety.
The State Game Warden explained his position, as to secaring birds and rabbits, stating that it was a difficult proposition and asked those present and the people of the county generally to give the breeding farm at Gwynn-fjrook time to get into operation and he would promise excellent results.

Bouncing* Over Cobbles Between
United's Tracks At Towson
Causes Comment.
Automobilists who are compellel to use the York road through Towson daily to and from their work in the city of Baltimore have been "cussing" the United Railways and Electric Company for the miserable paving between the car tracks on the York road from Linden Terrace to Pennsylvania avenue. During the recent sleet and snow storm the snow plows of the Railway Company piled snow on the sides of the street so high that motorists are compelled to bounce and jumble over the miserable cobbles between the tracks, and some seem to think it is up to the United to repair this with some smooth material. There is no use mentioning the fact that it would be a great improvement to the county-seat.

The question, Who will Governor Ritchie appoint Chief Judge of the Third . Judicial Circuit? has been much discussed in Towson during the past week, particularly among members of the legal profession.
The consensus of opinion among members of the Towson bar is that Judge Prank I. Duncan is entitled to first consideration, but it is not generally* believed that he will accept the appointment if tendered to him by the Governor. Judge Duncan, up to this time, has declined to say whether or not he would accept the appointment, naively disposing of all queries by saying, "I have not yet been asked."
After sounding out Judge Duncan as best they could, and discussing every phase of the situation among themselves, the members of the local bar toward the end of the week prepared a petition, addressed to Governor Rit-

FIGHTS WILD-CAT
Countian Has Horrible Experience
With Hungry Beast Of
The Woods.
An attack by a wild-cat was the experience of George Chaney, who resides in Baltimore county, but is employed as night Telegraph Operator on the B. & O. Railroad near Ellicott City.
On Monday night last Chaney was sitting in his'little office eating lunch about midnight, when his attention was aroused by a scratch at the door, he arose, opened the door, stepped out into the darkness and in an instant the "cat" was upon him, and after a few minutes' struggle, Chaney managed to get inside the room and bang .the door. The wild-cat was prime for prey, hungry from the winter's poverty, it then 'sprang through the glass window and into the room, Chaney grabbed a revolver and fired a bullet into the animal's head and it dropped bleeding to the floor.

CULL ON DELEGATION
Committee Of Taxpayers' League
Talk Over Matters Of Legislation
With County Representatives.
(From a Staff Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.)
Annapolis, Md.—Early in the week a Committee from the Taxpayers' League wended their way to Annapolis to confer with the members of the Baltimore County Delegation, relative to certain measures that the League was favoring.
The Baltimore County Delegation has favored most of the Bills recommended by the League, but a few members have expressed their doubt as to whether the League favored a Bill to reduce the number of County Commissioners from five to three, to become effective before the expiration of the term of the present Board, in December, 1923.
The League recommended that this reduction go into effect as soon as possible, and the Bill was drawn to go Into effect in January. 1922, reducing the terra of the present Commissioners from four to about two years, which the League has been informed can be done legally under a decision of the Court of Appeals.
(From the Washington correspondent! three Republicans, prominent in the af-
of The Jeffersonian.)
Official and political Washington is more indignant than concerned at the apparent attempt of certain Republicans of prominence to throw a panic scare into the country. Confident that the thoroughly tried Federal Reserve system will continue to he a bulwark against any serious financial disturbances, officials of the Government are not alarmed by the calamity howlers, but are severely critical of those who, for political advantage, evidently would create havoc in American business and industrial circles.
Knowing that the ancient Republican cry that "a full dinner pail" may be assured Only by the return of the Republican party to full power in the nation will not find a responsive ear under existing prosperous conditions, some of the Republican leaders seemingly are making a deliberate and concerted effort to break down the confidence of the people in the financial structure created by the Wilson Administration, which has withstood even the shock of a world war without a perceptible tremor.
Leading Democrats are reluctant to charge the Republicans with such extreme partisanship, but they assert they cannot overlook the fact that

MENACE OF UNREST
Farmers Are Becoming Discouraged
And In Some Sections Are
Threatening To Strike.
In this troublesome period since the signing of the armistice, labor in the United States has been involved in a series of strikes, capital has shown a disposition to strike in the sense of not seeking investments that are essential, and now comes word to The Jeffersonian from one of the government departments, that of Agriculture, that the farmers are threatening to strike.
We are not prepared to say what would happen if such be the case, when the farmers refuse to fiurnish their products to the public, yet the possibility is keen that such a condition might exist, and has been hinted at in income taxes. I many of the replies to a questionnaire

One Baltimore county farmer, who was a visitor at The Jeffersonian office one day this week, stated that he feared a famine, because farm help is flocking to the city, lured by short hours, higTi wages and the promise of a good time.

High profits taken by the "middle men" for the mere handling of food products is also disgusting to the farmer.

fairs of the House of Representatives, have recently, in apparently carefully arranged sequence, expressed fears of a money panic.
Representative Robert Luce, of Massachusetts, was the first one to sow the seed of possible financial disaster in an address on the floor of the House
i.«w days ago. He was followed in the same arena by Representative F. W. Mondell, of Wyoming, Republican House leader, who also "viewed with alarm" and expressed grave doubts of me nation's ability to weather the storm with a Democrat at the helm, or words to that effect. To clinch the matter came no less a personage that the Speaker of the House, Frederick W. Cillett, of Massachusetts, who deserted his chair long enough to go to his nome city of Springfield to make an address in which he followed the same line of argument as his party colleagues, suggesting to his audience that a financial panic was imminent, according to press reports.
Representative Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, Democratic authority on things financial and commercial in the House, scoffs at the pessimism of the Republican leaders. The fall of foreign ex-tnge, the basis of the Republican fears, he regards as being inevitable under existing circumstances, and says the cure will be found in natural , ocesses of readjustment, which he asserts will cause notning more serious than business fluctuations.
"The industries which had a surplus and which depend upon foreign markets for the distribution of this surplus are going to suffer through some dislocation in their business," said Mr. Hull, "and there may develop some little stringency as a result of the conditions, but I do not see any cause for alarm. The remedy is going to come through jerks and jumps, and because of this there is certain to be some disturbance in some industries, but others are likely to be unaffected by conditions."
Mr. Hull pointed out that the domestic demand for iron and steel building material is expected to absorb the entire American output, to say nothing of the requirements of the railroads for steel in the necessary continued rehabilitation. He sees nothing to be alarmed about in the cotton decline and is confident the shrinkage in food prices that will come with the lessen-ing demand from overseas will in the end be helpful to the economic situation.
