JEFFERSONUN'S COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE AND REALISTIC GARDEN COMPLETED Will Be Open To Public Tomorrow And Be On Display Until After New Year's Day—Vivid In Color, Realistic And Spectacular, It Presents Scene More Beautiful Than In Previous Years. WORSHIPS JAP GODS More than 50O grown-ups and childifn viewed, informally, The Jeffersonian's community Christmas tree and realistic garden this week. When we say informally, we mean before the display was entirely finished. It was not planned to throw the exhibit open to the public until today, as it was impossible; to work out the details until now, but the youngsters "sot wind" of it somehow, that the greater portion was up, and they thronged to the "Jen-" to get a first peep at Old Santa's work. It was for the little ones of Baltimore county that the community tree and garden was erected and The Jeffersonian wants them as its guests during the Yuletide season. It also wants to extend a most cordial invitation to every adult to view the picturesque setting. Whether white or black, rich or poor, The Jeft'ersonian's door will be open to you. On Sundays, commencing tomorrow, until after the New Year, the snow-clad village, with its miniature railroad, telegraph lines, bridges, soldiers, tanks and the like, and the 25 or more bui dings brilliantly illuminated with electric lights and the beautifully decorated tree -will be on exhibition from 10 A.

Bureau. When the monthly weather report for November was sent to the United States Weather Bureau, it marked the | completion of 50 years' work of the | Jesuits at Woodstock College in th :ir cooperative station of the Weather i Bureau. A year after Woodstock Coi- [ lege was opened, ' Father^ Alayjius | Valente, S. J., Professor of Physics and Chemistry, arranged with the bmith-sonian Institute to make daily weatner observatons at. the College. The work was begun on December 1, 1S70. Tne reports were sent to the Smithsonian Institute until February 1875 and after that to the United States Weather Bureau, which was founded by Act of Congress February 1870 as a branch of the SiS'nal Service of the U. S. Army and transferred to the Department of Agriculture in 1890. Mr. J. H. Spencer, in charge of the Weather Bureau in Baltimore and Seer tipxj Chi§f for Maryland and Dela1 congratulate Rev.

"Speaking- of the Weather Bureau as a whole, I wish to extend to you and to the College in its entirety, our keen appreciation for the service rendered this Bureau durng the ast fifty years, and to express the hope that the pleasant cooperative relations maintained during that time may be continued indefinitely, and that Woodstock College weather records will appear, with those from other points, in the Maryland Climatological Summary, as long as it shall be issued."

Since 1910 the number of farms has decreased 2.1 per cent.; the total acreage, 5.9 per cent., and the improved acreage 6.5 per cent. Seventy-four and eight-tenths per cent of the land area of the State is in farms and 65.9 per cent, of the farm land is improved. The value of all farm property is' $463,638,120, as compared with $286,-167,028 n 1910, an increase of 62.0 per cent.

REFUNDING PLAN IS URGED III CONGRESS Fordney Fears $4,000,030,030 Levy Will Not Be Sufficient lo Meet Needs—Representative Garner Declares Refunding .Would 6r Breach Of Faith With Ihe People. (From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian). Concern of congressional leaders as to ability of the Treasury to meet the $7,500,000,000 of war debts maturing within the next two and a ha:f years was indicated by Chairman Fordn y, of the Ways and Means Committee both in the House and at the opening hearings) by his committee on revision of revenue legislation. The Ways and Means Committee chairman frankly expressed doubt as to whether the estimae' of a $4,000,-000,000 annual tax levy would be sufficient to meet the requirements of the government over the period of maturing Treasury certificates and Victory notes*. As a solution he advocated refunding into long-term bonds of the certificates now aggregating $2,350,-000,000, as well as of the first issue of war savings stamps and . the Victory note issue. The venerable custom of singing Christinas caro s through the streets on Christmas Eve, which has been revived in tais country during; the last f^w years, will enter upon a broader development this season, if general enthusiasm and widely ner-alded plans count for anything. Not only will many more towns and cities be added to the list of 200 into which the idea already has been introduced, but more than a few will organize the movement on a large scale, providing groups of singers whose route will cover every street and lane where people make thair homes. There will also be a greater prevalence of the traditional Christmas caroling costume of red pointed cap and capes that will lend much to the picturesqueness and the visib'e charm to the spiritual beauty of the Yuletide message conveyed Adoption of such a resolution, Mr. Fordney declared, probably would enable a reduction of taxes below Secretary Houston's estimate of $4,000,-000,000. It also, he said, would permit a tax levy for several years sufficient only to cover current fiscal needs of the government and interest on the-public debt and sinking fund operations. Tne first witness before the committee at the revision hearing, however, disagreed with Mi"- Fordney on the proposal. In reply to questions by Representative Longworth, Republican, Ohio, Dr. Thomas £j. Adams, Treasury tax expert and economist, said the program of the Treasury appeared to provide sufficient revenues to take care of the maturing obligations except the Savings Stamps, which would be paid through the sale of other issues of such stamps as each yearly issue falls due. He added, however, that the Treasury estimates for taxation could stand no reduction if the program was to be carried through and the maturing obligations met. Politics entered into the discussions of the methods of paying off the war debt when the committee reached the subject later in the day. Representative Garner (Democrat), of Texas, vigorously opposed the Fordney suggestion, saying it meant that the government was "breaking faith with the people whom it had assured that it would take up the floating debt to make the Liberty bonds retain their proper value of market value. "To float another loan," Mr. Garner asserted, " would materially weaken the (Continued on Page 4, Col.,6,) (Special Correspondence to The Jeffersonian). If the League of Nations is to be re- ! jected absolutely by the United States as the people seem to have demanded on November 2, what is to take its place? What kind of world association to prevent or discourage war will Senator Harding sponsor when he becomes President and essays to fulfill his campaign pledge to work some kind of world association that will leave the future of America unmortgaged? A strong hint of the trend of the President-elect's mind was obtained when it was discovered that lie has been spending the greater part of his time in the past few days discussing a proposal submitted to him by Col. Geo. 15. Harvey, a "proposal," Colonel Harvey informed the press "which dwarfs all previous propositions designed to perpetuate peace and to democratize the world." This proposal, which, as Colonel Harvey states, has been the chief topic of discussion between him and Senator Harding, is reminiscent of a plan lo which Bryan had devoted years of thought. It contemplates a referendum against offensive warfare by nations entering into a great new world bond. It seems to mean that the President-elect is seriously considering the very proposal which was once held to be the corner-stone of radical faith—that warfare, offensive warfare, especially, is a step which should never be taken by any nation until the people themselves have voted "Aye." The news of this discussion, certainly one of the most interesting and possibly important ideas that have bubbled out of the Marion caldron, was not revealed until after Senator Harding had finished a long conference with Elihu Root. The talk with Rpof lasted three hours, and had to do largelv with Mr. Root's plan for a world court which could function with or without the League of Nations. Presumably the fate of the League of Nations itself was not ignored in the extended conversation that Senator Harding had with Mr. Root in Harding's office. Each, however, saw fit to ignore this part of 'their conference. Mr. Root, in a leisurely talk with the newspaper men. spoke only of the explanation and the argument he had made on behalf of the plan for a world court. He had the bearing of -a man who was satisfied with the out-com » of the conference. Nevertheless, the news of the plan for an entirely new world association and for a people's referendum against offensive warfare, transpiring as it did m the evening, as Mr. Root was. interest of the Harding-Root conference Its effect, indeed, was almost startling. There is nothing to show that Senator Harding is committed to the proposal. Colonel Harvey was very careful to point out that he had no author-ty to speak for the President-elect, and the President-elect himself did not care to say anything for publication. Nevertheless, the fact stands that the oian has very earnest consideration. Moreover, William Jennings Bryan, who has long favored an international association not dissimilar to the kind under consideration here, has been invited to confer with the Presidentelect. The news makes Bryan's appearance especially significant. TO HAVE XMAS PARTY in song. From information gathered by THE JEFFERSONIAN from the Bureau of Advancement of Mus'c. which has been making a study of the growth of Christmas car-oiiiig in America, it has been ascertained that last Christmas more than 10,000 singers were organized in Detroit, inc'Hding adult groups as well as children. They stopped wit i their tuneful offering before every house signifying by a lighted candle in the window that its inhabitants wished to hear the Christmas music, transforming the workaday City into "200 mi'es of song." Christmas comes but once a year, so let us make merry and extend good cheer.. . It is to b'f hoped that the villa ires and towns dotted over Baltimore county will, if they never have before, inaugurate the Christmas Eve street carol singing, making this Yuletide the happiest and the brightest yet. Think what it would mean to a hamlet If on'y five or six banded together and wended their way through the streets chanting "the tidings of joy." In Towson. the custom has been in vogue for a few years, and anyone -who has had an on-portunitV to hear the voices of the slow marchers being carried on the chill winds of the night, must surely be inspired and thrilled. For several weeks the Christmas Waits have been rehearsing at the homes of various members. The start on Christmas Eve will be made promptly at 7.30 P. M. from the home of Mr. J. Howard Flayhart, on Virginia avenue; then to Pennsylvania avenue, to Joppa Road, east on Joppa Road , to Towson Heigbts; revero'nt \> there, goine- west on the Jopoa Road to Virginia avenue, south on Virginia avenue to Sh*»alev '*r avenue; west on Shealey avenue /\ to Oe'aware avenue, south on 2^ He'aware avenue to Chesapeake ave.; west on C»esaneak«» ave-piif to the York Rond...The end of the mnreh to be at the Endue House P'azo, vrhe^e. after the entire list of songs have been sung, the Walts will disband. i OUT FOR HOUSE Lee And Gaiirill Are First In The Field, Although Election Is Months Off. Although nearly a year will elapse before the next State election is held Democratc and Republican aspirants for the various places to be filled are already putting out lines with hooks well baited. The fact that the State went overwhelmingly Repubican in the recent electon does not appear to have deterred ambitious democrats from entering the field. Most of these are workng under a cover, believing it the better policy not to come out into the open for fear of inviting opposition, but there are those who, taking for granted they will have to fight for a nomination, are as active now as during a primary campaign. Among the first to shy their gages into the political arena are Brooke Lee, now State Comptroller, and S. W. Gambrill, who as a delegate representing Howard county in he last House of Delegates, gave an unusual exhibition of independence in thought and actions. Mr. Lee has informed his friends he will not be a candidate for a renomi-nation. His friends believe he can be of more siervice to his county and State as a member of the Legislature, and hence he proposes to seek the nomination for the House of Delegates. Montgomery will also el»ct a State Senator to succeed Willis B. Bwdette, (Continued on Page 4, Col.,4.) MET ON TUESDAY Sparks Grange Held Last Gathering Cff Year At The Agricultural High School.

There will be an abundance of good music and ~Mr. Carpenter, who is charge of the cafeteria, states that the "eats" will be "on tap" the same as ever ond that there will be enough hot coffee, sandwiches, ice cream and cake to satisfy all who acqure a hungry inclination.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Fifth Commissioner District Improvement Association, Inc., Baltimore county, held recentlyt comprising the 12th and 15th Election Districts, the following resolution was passed: Resolved, that we commend you gentlemen ior the stand you took in refusing the request of the Governor of the State to send officers down into our district to help- to maintain order. We have a very efficient Police Department in our district under the leadership of Marshall Stans-bury, and we feel that there is no outside help needed whatsoever. Be it also' resolved that if the Police Department of Baltimore City were to pay more attention to the line dividing the city and the county we -would have no trouble or disorder whatever in this section.

ROADS ENGINEER'S BUDGET Interested Taxpayers Should Give Gonsideration lo Plans Under New fload Law, It would be well for every county' taxpayer interested in roads to some consideration to the Roads Engineer's budget for 1921. Under the new road law adopted by the-Legislature of 1920 it is Ee Roads Engineer, on or before the first day of December in each year, to submit to the County Commissioners a written report, "which report shall embrace a comprehensive plan of road and bridge work, repair and construction in Baltimore oounty for the ensuing fiscal road year"; showing as closely as may be the several district funds, and the general road and bridge fund and other available funds and how they are to be expended and on what roads and bridges, naming them, and the character in detail of the repairs and new construction, and- the estimated cost of each item, and what proportion of the road money is for new construction, and -what proportion i£ for maintenance and repairs, and what proportion of each fund is set apart and reserved for salaries, incidentals and contingencies, in detail." The law further provides that notice of the filing of the budget be published by the County Commissioners, who are required to hold "not less than three meetings" during the month of December "for the purpose of receiving and hearing recommendations, suggestions (Continued on Page 4, Col.,4.)
