War, that Maryland had been allotted its proportionate share with other States of 2,582,332 war trophies captured from the Germans during the World War. The Governor was asked to inform the War Department of any plans he may have for handling Maryland's share.
Each State must pay for the handling and transportation of the trophies, according to a dispatch from Washington. When Congress passed the bill apportioning the trophies among the States it made no provision for handling them.
This will cost the States $39,000, eclusive of transportation, according to Secretary Weeks' estimate. The trophies, which range from howitzers to sidearms and from mess kits to belt buckles, now occupy 491,480 square feet of storage space in warehouses and the open.
Maryland, under the Congressional act, may accept all or any part of its allotment. If Governor Ritchie does not file an acceptance within a year Maryland's share will be sold as surplus property or destroyed.
The greater portion of the caissons and limbers, due to their relatively light construction and long exposure to the elements, are of doubtful value even as trophies, it is said. The cannon are in better condition.
The smaller articles, stored in warehouses, are in fairly good condition. A large amount of the material is stored at the Port Newark and Norfolk depots, which have been abandoned.

Thirteen members of the Fowbles-burg Farm Bureau Local have formed a Dairy Improvement Club, the object of which is to find out what boarder cows, if any, are in their jrooms an(j gr{u
ROGERS' FORGE GOLF COURSE TO BE ENLARGED.
Since "Jim" Offutt, Jarrett Lee, "Herk" Jenifer and "Doc" Cassard have taken up the golf stick as a form of recreation and exercise, plans to make the course of the Rogers' Forge Golf Club larger are under way.
The field, designed by Herbert Strong, golf course architect, will be extended to 18 holes immediately.
The club was organized and work begun on the club grounds about a year ago. Last month the board of governors decided to hurry the work, and the force of 55 men now working on the development will be augmented to 150 next week. It is estimated the total cost will be approximately $150,000.
Members are at present using an old farm house for club purposes. This is a two-story stone building, built, it is said, in 1785. It is planned to add three wings to this structure, using the homestead as a place to house trophies.
The rear wing will include a men's

Mr. Conover, Dairy Specialist, and County Agent Rohde are helping the Club to secure these records and the Dairy Department of the University of Maryland has been making the butterfat determinations.
A tuberculosis cleaning for the district is also planned by the Dairy Club. About twenty herds will be tested, making a tubercular-free area of about three miles in radius.
