Idle Land Produced
$350,000,000 In Food.
Estimate of the Value of Pro-
duce Raised on Back Lots.

duce Raised on Back Lots.
By planting gardens during 1917 that
under ordinary conditions would have
lain idle the people of this country in
creased the national food supply to the
extent of more than $3.50, 900, 600, accord
ing to the estimate of Charles L. Peck,
president of the national emergency food
garden commission.
This estimate which Mr.. Peck says is
a conservative one is made in review
of the years work of the commission
just made public, and he predicts even
greater work along this line in the sum-
mer of 1918. He says that the garden
campaign reached every section of con-
tinental United States, and adds:
'"This means l, ,155, 900 acres of city
and town land were under cultivation
the last season for the first time. Urban
and suburban America became vast
garden as the result of the impulse given
to the nation by the national emergency
lOOu & al uCll COIIllHlSSlOll. Ills dICd VI
productiveness embraced back yards,
vacant lots and hitherto untitled tracts
of land in and around nearly every city,
town and village. Our nation wide sur
vey located nearly 100000 such gar
dens.
'In our one year of experience it is
conservative to state that by the plant
ing of gardens the nations food supply
has been increased to the extent of more
than $3.50, 600, 900. Next year we will do
even better. The war gardens of Amer
lea have been extensively referred to as
valuable economic agency by the news
papers of England, Italy and South
America.
81 want to praise the women of this
country" says Mr.. Peck farther on in
his report, because it is the women who
in peculiar sense understand what the
war means. 1t is my experience that
the practical women of America have
been practicing thrift for many years
and that they know full we'll how to
practice economy without parsimony, and
that this year, in addition, they have
added to their duties the patriotic work
of extra food production and extra food
conservation.
"This war will be won in large part by
fighting with food"
In the name of the commission Mr..
Peck thanks all who have had part in
the patriotic effort to increase the food
supply of the country, and says great
credit is due the newspapers for their
cooperation in aiding to arouse popular
interest in gardening, canning and drying.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week November 18th, VIM. A. Brady
presents the famous Metropolitan success
THE MAN WHO CAME BACK.
An entire season at The Playhouse, New
York. A new American play. Original

Next week al Ford will be unique in
the presentation of new American play
and success of an entire season at The
Playhouse, New York, "The Man Who
Came Back" 1t is romantic comedy
with great dramatic and amusing inter
est, the plot is novel and intensely alb
sorbing.
Adapted by Jules E. Goodman from
the story of the same name by John +.
Wilson, it has lost none of its readlug
popularity in the stage version, fact
easily recognized by it's wonderful year
of triumph at The Playhouse.
An exceptional advantage will bs IN its
Interpretation here by the original New
York company including Henry Hull in
the title role of the young son of the
millionaire, about whose Wayward path
the drama was written.
Young Hull made great personal nit
in this character, and Laura Walker, an
other leading member of the company,
is equally convincing in her artistic por-
trayal of Marcelle, the cabaret singer.
She is doing the best work of her career:
The scenic effects vary from well
known New York hotel to famous hos
telry in San Francisco, Shanghai and
Honolulu, etc.

All The County Candidates Elected By
Handsome Majorities.
Martin, For Commissioner and Palmer For
Delegate, Run Second On Their Ticket.

Another election occurred in Frederick
County and throughout the State of Ma
ryand on Tuesday of this week. and re-
suited in a sweeping victory for the Re-
publican party.
From all reports everything everywhere
was quiet, but while quiet, hard work
was being done.
At Thurmont the Republican and Dem
ocratic leaders worked increasingly from
early morning until the polls closed, and
when the vote was totaled it was found
that 536 of the GIT men registered in the
two precincts of Mechanicstown district
had cast their ballot. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that about thirty
young voters of the district are in the
army and could not get home to vote,
big vote was poled.
On the State ticket Hugh A. McMullen
democratic candidate for Comptroller,
was defeated by VIM. o. Atwood, Re-
publican, his majority in this county be-
ing given as 1000.
Locally, Mr.. VIM. j. Martin, residing
near Graceham and one of the republican
candidates for county commissioner, re-
ceived 464 out of total of 536 votes cast
and l06 more votes than was cast for At
wood republican candidate for comptrol-
Ter. Emmitsburg and Creagerstown dis
tricts also stood by Mr.. Martin, both dis
tricts being largely democratic.
Mr. Grayson E. Palmer, of Thurmont,
republican candidate on the Delegate
ticket, received very complementary ma
jorities at home and abroad, and was but
43 votes behind Mr.. Delaplaine in the
county.
The victorious candidates in the county
are as follows:
Comptroller-W. O. Atwood.
House of Helegates-Edward S. Della
plaine, Charles NJ. Kline, Grayson E.
Palmer, Millard F. Rice and Frank L.
Splitter.
County Commissioners-David GLAND,

They are taking their place with

the difference between the real and
the make-believe To make counter
felt potatoes you take one pound OF
potatoes, two and half !
quarts of water, one pound of soft
summer wheat flour, half a pound
of split peas and two ounces of lard.
Mix well and mould. This is where
skill counts. Anybody can mix them,
but it takes an artist to mould them.
If they are rounded just right, with
every artificial eye where the natural
eve should be, the average potato

mashed or baked and think to his
diving day that he has eaten potatoes.
In one way it doesn't matter. The
