and need badly, sleeveless sweaters.
The government no longer issue

ment Regulations forbid wearing

collor. blue. gray. brown or even
black.
viii all the women who are knitting
or who are going to knit for these
men, drop the present mufiler, wrist
lets,and helmets, and knit sweaters
Sleeveless Sweaters,
If Anne Arundel County women
could only feel the searching chill of
these Alabama mornings and evenings
and realize what real comfort these
sweaters will give the men, the re-
sponse would be prompt and generous.
Should any womon wish to knit for
special individuals they must mark on
their work the name of the man and
his company letter. II is urged that
these sweaters be sent quickly to the
Red Cross rooms on Maryland avenue,
from where they will be forwarded as

LEAVE FOR SOLDIERS
TO CAST THEIR VOTE

On Election Day
Is COSTLY TO CANDIDATES
The Transportation Expense Will Fall
Mostly Upon hem And Is
Considerable

Information has been received that
soldiers at Camp Meade will be
granted furlough on election day to
enable them to return home to vote.
An exception will be made, il is said,
in the case of recruits arriving within
1e days of the election, II this re-
ported order remains effective il is
claimed that the contingent of col
ored rockies TO be sent TO the camp
next week viii not be permitted to re-
turn home and cast their ballots.
Because the cost of ticket from
the camp 10 Annapolis and neighbor-
ing places and return is small. most
of the recruits will avail themselves
Of the prospective fprlough and will
spend the day at their homes Not

distanct from the camp. They will
not be justified in meeting the cost of
transportation 10 and from the camp.
If they return home the candidates
will be called upon to pay for their

pocket books were pretty well emp

Maryland soldiers in camp at An
niston will not be permitted to re-
turn home on election day Even il
granted furlough they would not fee
like paying the transportation costs
H. is estimated that about 10000
Narylanders are at the several train
ing camps, i'm France and in the Navy
Their absence on election day will
have an important bearing on the re-
suit because of the failure of the
majority in the Senate at
the special session of the Legisla-
tLre to agree TO the House bill, by
which the votes of absent soldiers
end sailors could be canvassed, they
will be disfranchised on election day
Several States have enacted the law
which Maryland failed to put on the
statute books.

Said he: ;
I'VE are living in very critical

at seemed that our recent |, gisla-
ture of Oklahoma foresaw the coming,

up an avenue whereby one of the i'm

"The Oklahoma hen is credited
with a yearly egg production of 54.
This Is a pretty low batting average
in the national poultry league and 1t
may be a trlfle under present figures,
as II is based on 1910 census figures.
However, 81 eggs a year is our rated
production per hen and the census
gave an average Of so hens to the

mean an increase on each farm of so

an increase in profits for the SO farms

directly to a minimum investment OF

he remembered, were compiled from
the 1910 census and II Is probable
that the average nnmEer OF hens for
each farm is now considerably higheS
In a district averaging 100 hens to the
flock, the total returns would be

of improvement of farm
flocks should increase the average
egg production by much more than an
