Saturday, February 16, 1924—Page 10 THE JEFFERSONIAN. TOWSON, MARYLAND 'TIS LEAP YEAR AND BY GOSH, MISS MARY RISTEAU HAS RECEIVED A PROPOSAL Story Of Her Challenge To Magnus Johnson For Milking Contest Brings Unforseen Result From New Yorker, Who Is Proud Possessor Of 45 Cows. Some time ago, as the story goes, there was a challenge issued by Miss Mary Risteau, former resident of Towson and now a member of the House of Delegates from Harford county, to Magnus Johnson, "dirt farmer Senator from the "West," in which Miss Risteau asserted she was a better dirt farmer than the erstwhile representative from Minnesota. Senator Johnson did not accept her challenge, but a fellow up in New York State with 45 cows did. Legislators learned of the proposal. Miss Risteau admitted the report, and told of a letter she had received from a farmer of New York State. Miss Risteau would not make known the name of the sender or his post office address, stating that she considered it confidential. Legislators, however, accuse her of holding the matter under advisement, despite her denials that such a thing is "preposterous." The suitor for the hand of Maryland's first woman law-maker, in his proposal letter, stated that he had learned of her when he read of the challenge to Senator Johnson in a New York paper which had reprinted the article published in a Baltimore City paper. "I have a farm of 300 acres," the letter stated. "I have 45 cows, up-to-date farm machinery and a home which is considered one of the best in my locality. I understand you are a scientific farmer. Could we not form a cooperative partnership, the object of which, if I may be per- mitted to put it in a few words, would be matrimony." Miss Risteau in answer to questions as to her acceptance of the proposal said there was little chance of her giving up a career for matrimony. —--------o---------- "TAXED" $100 AND COSTS. Chester O.

Jrtr TWHt MASON'S GARAGE TOWSON, MARYLAND The Maryland Farm Bureau Federation, comprising 18 well-organized Farm Bureau counties of the State, has made wonderful progress during the first year of its existence. It will celebrate its first anniversary on March 1, 1924. Starting out with eight counties as charter members of the State Federation, the organization work in the other counties has been pushed vigorously with the somewhat limited organization force until at the present time 18 of the 25 counties of the State are well organized Farm Bureau centers with aggressive working programs for this year. At present the Federation boasts of approximately 7,500 members who are included in the 200 or more Farm Bureau Locals which exist in the 18 organized counties. Dorchester, on the Eastern Shore, and Charles, Calvert, St. Mary's and Prince Georges, of Southern Maryland, have only recently become organized, so that the membership and the number of locals in the State Federation will be appreciably increased within the next few months. The five counties yet to be organized in order to complete the organization work in Maryland are: Somerset, Wicomico and Cecil on the Eastern Shore and Allegany and Garrett the two extreme western counties of the State. v One of the chief objects of the Farm Bureau this year in Maryland and in all other farm bureau States too, will be that of incorporating Farm Bureau Co-Operative Associations in every county of the State the basis of membership in which will be, that a farmer must be a farm bureau member. ----------o------------- BILIi FILED TO RESTRAIN BUILDER OF HOUSE.

About 1668 the people or London were ordered to do the same. A N act of the Council or London in 1716 declared tnat all housekeepers whose houses fronted a public passage should, on every dark night, hang out one or more lamps with sufficient wicks to keep them burning from six to eleven at night. The penalty for fail ing to obey the order was one shilling. If the lamp went out, the housewife had to pay a shilling !
