Drivers of public vehicles have been
advised that they may renew use of

II is stated that the vehicular traffic
on 18th street and the frequent move
ment of street cars on the Mount YER
non and Alexandria line made that
street undesirable for stand for
vehicles. The change was made to take
effect December s. but drivers were ad-
vised that they might occupy 1t before

MORE THAN HALF AT WORK.
Proportion of District Population
Employed Five Years Ago.

Five years ago 81 per cent of the
population of the District of Colum-
bia, ten years of age. and over, were
engaged in some gainful occupation,
according to report of the bureau of
the census. for the year 1910, made
public today. The statement shows
that of the male population so per
cent were employed. while &c per cent
of the females were reported to be
working.
For the entire United States the re-
port shows that SO per cent were en-
gagged in gainful occupations. The
report also shows that in the more
than fifty cities for which percentages
are given the proportion of the urban
population engaged in some gainfuI oc-
cupation varies very slightly through
out the United States.

SHOULD GROW POTATOES.
Frostburg Fair Facts Show That Gar.
rett County Can Do 1t.

There was reported at the fair held
at FrostDurg some facts well worth the
deepest study of Garrett county farm
ers. These facts prove beyond any con-
troversy that there is more money IN a
few acres of ground well farmed than
there is in spreading the work over
many acres. One farmer at the fair
reported raising 878 bushels of potatoes
on two acres of ground; another, $50
bushels. Such farming pays, and pays
big.
The farmers of this county should
put their gro4nd in the best condition
possible for the potato crop, plant two
or three acres. give proper attentionito
the c ltivation, and increase the bank
account.
What are the Garrett county farm
ers going to do about raising seed po-
tatoes, and raising large crops of from
300 to 425 bushels to the acre. There is
money in this proposition. A crop of
300 bushels to the acre, at 40 cents a
bushel represents Sl20 per acre. Is not
that worth working for?
The Republican believes in Garrett
county seed potatoes and would like to
see the farmers busy in this direction.
That is the reason, from time to time
we call attention to this subject
Last Saturday we heard an Oakland
mere hant ask several farmers, Have
you any potatoes to SELF" The answer
in each case was, mo we have no po-
tatoes to spare. MI. Farmer, think
this matter over very carefully.
1t is claimed that the eastern shore
of Virginia ships each year to the mark
cts l. 500, 900 bushels OF potatoes, and
these potatoes reach the early markets,
hence command the highest prices.
That potato producing section cannot
raise their seed potatoes. They must
go to Maine or Michigan for their seed.
Garrett county should supply the
seed potatoes for the Eastern shore.
There is no reason whW we should not
do so. The agriculture experts of the
State have said that we can do so. That
our soil is particularly adapted for
raising prime seed potato, and they
recommend, after experimenting on the
subject, the Irish Cobbler and the
Green Mountain varieties.

by the lack of service,
