FOR Drop IN SECOND Eight DayS.
Predictions that Germany's ruth
less U-boat campaign, begun February
1, will fail are predicted upon the
performances reported. The under
taking was eventually to stop all sea
traffic, enemy and neutral, in the
great new war zone, and in the mean
time to sink shipping at the rate Of
100000 tons a month, or $4,000
day. Nobody thought they could ac-
complish the complete blockade-they
have failed to approach the immedi-
ate mark they set. Sea traffic is NOV
ing almost as before. But what
seems really significant is that the
toll of merchantmen, after having
risen rapidly from 10 vessels of 10000
tons on February l to II vessels Of
44,457 tons on February 6, has been
steadily falling off ever since.
The daily record, February l to
February 16, inclusive, has been as

To the Board of School Commissioner!
for Carroll County, Maryland
Gentlemen:

To the Board of School Commissioners
for Carroll County, Maryland
Gentlemen:
] We most respectfully invite you to
give careful consideration to the fol-
/ lowing statement, together with the
appended overture to which our sig
natures are attached.
! With the advance standards of ed
ucatiOn set by the High Schools in
cities and towns, and the higher edu-
catiOnal demands occasioned by the
new age into which we are moving, it
is becoming more and more evident
that the boys and girls of rural COM
munities are at a distinct disadvantage
| if no more ample provision is made
for them than that which is usually
to be found in the district or country
school. AS you are we'll aware, edu-
Gators of our land have been seeking
for solution of the problem thus Gre
ated and their conclusion has been
that most satisfactory results can be
obtained by the consolidation of con-
tiguOus district schools which shall
afford approved High School stand
ing.
Believing that the time has come
for Carroll County to fall in line with
this advance movement and to show
that it is as much concerned for it's
boys and girls as the counties of other
states, and furthermore, believing that
no district in our County offers more
favorable advantages, or has more
pronounced claims for the establish
ment of a Consolidated School than
Myers for the following reasons: 1st,
it has no High School within it's
bounds,-2nd, it is densely populated
and district schools lie closely ad-
jacent to one another-3rd, appeals
will soon have to be made for new
buildings at several places, repairs
in others and more modern equipment
in nearly all, involving d considerable
outlay of funds which might be used
in the Consolidated building-4tn, the
enrolment in the district schools is
sufficiently large to form the basis Of
a splendid Consolidated School-now,
therefore, we most earnestly overture
your Board to take under advisement
the establishment of a Consolidated
School in this district, the location of
the same to be finally determined by
you after giving due consideration to
our preference, which is that it should
be placed about midway between
Union Mills and Silver Run, along the
proposed State Highway.

takes Off DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS Falling
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after IN applf.
cation Of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance OF
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

SPRAY OUTFIT is ESSENTIAL
Many Places on Farm Where 1t Ia
Needed-ValuabIe in Orchard,
Garden and Henhouse.

No farm should be without a good
spraying outfit. There are so many
places where it is valuable. The or
chard, the garden and the henhouse
all need it. The little bucket spray
ers are just an aggravation for any
use where pressure and speed are
needed, though they are fully as USE
full as one could expect them to be.
For spraying one or two trees, or for
the hem. use, they will do very we'll,
but in large field of potatoes, a large
orchard of large trees, or where force
enough is needed to throw the spray
into dense foliage, they cannot be eX-
pected to do the work as well as a
more powerful pump. The lever &C
ton of the barrel pump handle adds to
the power exerted, and the larger CYL
indcr gives faster flowing stream and
greater pressure can be maintained
with the same nozzle. A barrel spray

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CROPS
Problems in Marketing Perishablc
Products Begin With PRODUCE
tion-important Factors.

The problems in the marketing Of
the vast amount Of perishable food
products begin, as do most marketing
problems, with production. The vari-
ETY. of the fruit or vegetable grown
and the amount of this variety avail
able, often are important factors in
shaping market demand and prices.
The quality Of the product, as int1u-
enced by choice Of soils, fertilizers
and cultural methods, is another i'm
portant consideration affecting mar
keting success.
Since the growing Of perishable
fruits and vegetables is on rela-
lively small-scale basis, while the
large aggregate demands of the great
market centers have brought about
the existence of dealers who handle
such produce only in large lots, the
questions Of production which later
influence marketing can be dealt with
satisfactorily in most cases only on a
community basis. This fact and the
recognition that many other problems
could be met satisfactorily only by CO.
operating groups Of producers, has
led to the organization of cooperative
marketing associations in many Sec
lions devoted more or less extensively
to the production Of such perishable

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Sta
ton Fowls Gained in Weight and
Produced More Eggs.

Feeders of hsrses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed a 'balanced
ration. Special attention has been
given to balanced rations for dairy
COWS. BY this is meant that one feed
constituent should not be fed in eX-
cess, while another is lacking for the
upkeep Of the animals body. The pro-
tein must be in Il certain proportion
to the sugars, starches and fat in the
feed. Now the hen comes in for her
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro-
duced by hens fed Well-balanced

Glad z3di7QS

What tidings of reverent glad
ness are voiced by the bells
that ring
A summons to men to gather to-
day in the courts of Christ,
the king!
We come to our dear Lords al
tar; what brightness greets
us there!
The gloom of the winter has van
ished and beauty is every
where.
O beautiful, beautiful lilies, what
truths you typify!
You seemed to die in the autumn,
and yet you did not die.
"Alleluia!' the choir is chanting,
with joyous, jubilant voice,
'The Lord is risen, is risen! Re-
joice, rejoice, rejoice!"
"He is risen" o glorious mes
sage! "He lives who once
was dead"
And hearts that were heavy with
sorrow hear and are com
forted.
From the censor cups of the lilies
rise scents Of myrrh and
balm,
And the soul, like a lark, scars
upward, winged with the
Easter psalm.
And on the Easter morning, while
joyful voices sing.
You repeat to all the lesson Of
the miracle Of spring.
From the tomb in which men laid
him the stone is rolled
away,
And 10! the Christ they sing of
is here in our midst today.

Only Temporarily Closed Are the
Gates Between Mortal and
Immortal Life.

THERE came day when the lilies
were glad. They two had met and
- their souls were one. It was a
high time for him, for he was loving
another better than himself. 1t was
a high time for her, for it was the
great day of faith. They said the
one to the other: "Surely heaven is
bending low. This is more than life"
The moonlight dreamt on the lilies, and
the world was young-so young.
Then came day when the lilies
treInbled, and then were still. They
two went to the valley of tenderness
and of death. He stayed at the gate,
but she went in. And the lilies were
still. And 10, the gates swung wide and
she came back. Wrestling with the
enemy had made her pale talking with
God had made her white. In her soul
were things that never could be said,
and in her arms was Gods gift to her
and her gift to men. It was a Won
drous high time for them, for they
were three. The. twain were giving
themselves in order that another might
be. And they walked together through
the lilies, saying tne one to the other ::
Miracle of miraces! That which
was perfect has been made more per-
feet. The other was happiness, but
this is rapture" And the lilies were
glad-so glad.
Then came a day when all the lilies
In the garden tiembled, and then were
still-so still. THE three wrestled in
the darkness. They three were swept
into the valley. They two fought and
prayed to have and to hold their own.
They two stood and waited and
wat ched. Then the two came back.
And the gates were closed. And the
lilies were still-yet still.
Then the two went away, hand in
hand, through the lilies. They were
lonely-so lonely. The sun was gray,
and the heart Of life was dead. But
they said, the one to the other: "God
was good to send the little messenger,
even though the message was so soon

And 10, from the lilies came their
spirit child to walk with them. And
they shall have their own forever and

their tears shall grow sweeter and
