Save Enough Seed Corn.

Special representatives. of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture are in the field in the corn
producing States of the Middle West
to complete the campaign for the
saving of a two-year's supply .oi
seed corn from the present crop
Twenty emergency workers have
been sent to Iowa by the extension
department. Thirteen emergency
men are in Indiana and corps OF
special workers will be assigned to
each corn-producing State cooper
ating with the State colleges apG
agents. For several weeks the
county agents have been paving the
way for the campaign wind-up now
being undertaken. The campaigners
go into the cornfield with the farmer,
assist him in the selection of the best
seed corn, and in it's proper storage
after selection. The necessity OF
making absolutely certain at this
time an ample seed corn supply both
Cor next year and the year following
is being urged as one of the most
important agricultural duties in the
corn belt.

Prosperity Reigns Among Th
Negroes In Prohibition
MiSSisSinni.

Rev. J. N. c. Coggin, D. D., is the
SECRETARY for colored work of the
Board of Temperance of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and the only
salaried colored man giving his en-
tire time to temperance work among
the negroes.
Recently he talked to Judge Lon
gino,, of Clarksdale, Miss, in regard
to the effect of prohibition upon the
negroes in that State.
'It has done wonders" said the
Judge. "In my court, under license
we usually booked $4,500 a month in
fines from your people. Under bone
dry prohibition this has been cut
nearly three-fourths. The remaining
one-fourth is the result of small
fights and little disturbances. Fros-
perity abounds among the negroes
in this section. They are buying
automobiles, have bank accounts
their families are comfortable and
their homes we'll fixed. This is due
TO the bone-dry prohibition law, fol
liquor.
1--WE have here in Mississippi a
State convict farm. l have just had
a letter from the director of the farm
complaining of the scarcity of labor
and asking why we are not sending
sentenced men there for service.
haye had to reply that have not had
the men to send. Crime has become
so reduced among the negroes that il
seems impossible to maintain the
State convict farm"

Conversion OF Liberty Bonds.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that there will be
issued by the Treasury Department
in the near future circular setting
forth the manner in which Liberty
loan bonds of the first issue may be
converted into Liberty loan bonds of
the second issue.
The conversion will require the
adjustment of interest and the
Treasury Department has devised a
method whereby this, in a large
measure, may be made without the
actual payment of any cash by the
holder of the bond to the Govern
ment or vice versa.
1t is we'll to remember that the
date of the second issue of Lii ty
loan bonds is November Is and that
no conversion can be accomplished
prior to that date. Opportunity,
however, will be given to holders OF
the first Liberty loan bonds to de-
posit their bonds for conversion in
advance of the actual date of issue
of the second issue.

VIII Not Seize Home Foods.

There has come from several sec
tions of the State news of a rumor,
especially among the colored people,
to the effect that the Government is
planning to seize their foodstuffs,
particularly the canned goods, for
army use. It is needless to say that
full credence to such a rumor would
cause many people to stop canning
operations with resultant loss and
wastage of much valuable food.
But there is no need for anyone
to fear, much less to believe, that
the Government contemplates such
action. In statement just issued
the falsity of these reports is shown.
1t says, 'There is no truth in a
widely circulated statement that the
Government expects to take food
supplies from any family. Both the
Food Administration and the Depart
ment of Agriculture join lin a state
ment to counteract what seems to be
a deliberate propaganda to the effect
that the Government intends to take
from every family all canned goods
put up in excess of 100 quarts.
"The authorities state emphati-
cally that no such course has ever
been contemplated by the Govern
ment. On the contrary, both the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are strongly
urging housewives to can and pre-
serve, especially at this time, all
surplus fruits and vegetables, in
order that the household themselves
may have cheap and bountiful
supply of food"

Conserve Coal.

There are many ways the con-
iumer can save coal. He can pay
yreater attention to the furnace, in
itoking and in the regulation of
drafts. Many homes are overheated
A little study of the stove or furnace
and every piece of coal can be made
to produce it's full capacity of heat
One of the simplest and most prac-
tical ways of helping to make coal go
further is investment in an ash sieve,
such as any hardware department
store sells, or the making of home
made sieve, of foot and a half
square of course wire mesh that may
be bought at any hardware store for
a few cents.
1t is a well-known fact that the
people are wasteful of coal as they
are of food. The ash dumps show
much unburnt or half burnt coal
pieces. These may be easily reclaim
ed by sitting through an ash sieve
and picking them out. one. days
coal supply for the kitchen range
and cellar furnace may, in many in
stances, be gotten out of a week s
ashes with sitter. The people owe
it to themselves and the country to
husband such fuel resources. They
will also be better off in purse at the
present prices for coal.

Political managers and candidates
are making last desperate drive to
arouse the voters and get out good
poll on Tuesday next. 9Th inst. The
campaign has been an unusually
quiet one owing to unsettled condi-
tions growing out of the war.
One has seldom heard politics dis
cussed, the public mind being so
deeply engrosed with war prepar-
ations, since we have been drawn
into the terrible strife raging in
Europe.
But with it all when election day
rolls around there will in all prob
ability be an average vote polled, as
while there may he little apparent
interest the voter generally awakes
to the Importance of his partici'
pating in the affairs of his State and
seldom fails to exercise his right of
franchise. He has had ample time
in which to make up his mind as to
the candidates he thinks best quail
fed to look after the offices to be
filled, and he owes it to himself and
to the public welfare to get out and
vote.
No matter how busy you are, Mr.
Voter, come out on Tuesday next
and cast your ballot for those candi-
dates whom you feel will best serve
the public interests.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to
meet the demands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually taken, the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age OF S5 or
90. you will find that he is a light
eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than you should and Won will

Overland Going To Compete with

The expected and ng-looked-for
has happened in the cheap car field
by the announcement that John N.
WHY'S, of the Willys-Overland Co.,
has finally completed, tested out, and
settled on every detail of the new
Overland car which is to rival thI
Ford.
For several years the WHY'S
Overland Co. has been working on
this car. The new Overland comes
as direct challenge to the Ford in
the low-priced field.
While the price is not stated, it
will sell for less than $500 and will
carry complete equipment, includ-
ing electric starting and lighting
with combined DINNER control. In
it's complete equipment form, includ-
ing starting battery, the lighting
system, an, extra tire, and tire car
rier, the weight is 1900 lb. Tires
are the same size as those used on
Fords
Externally the body is somewhat
different from other Overland types,
due largely to unique system of
springs, which give a distinctive ap-
pearance to the front and rear, and
while the wheelbase is 100 in. it is
claimed that this spring suspension
system gives the effect of car hav-
ing a wheelbase of much greater
length.
The engine is 8 " in. 4 in. and
reaches the peak of it's power curve
at 1000 rpm. Though it is 13 per
cent smaller than the Ford motor it
is stated to produce So per cent more
power, since the Ford engine reaches
it's peak at 1900.
All the control is centralized on
the middle of the dash and COM
prises ignition switch lamp DINNER
and throttle setting for idling to-
gether with the choke. Front and
rear axles are somewhat similar to
Ford's, but the latter has ball bear
ings.
The tenders are crowned, the
front ones being pressed in such
shape as to combine with the hood
ledge; there are exceptionally wide
fore doors, 16-in. steering wheel
and a slanting windshield. A one
man top completes the equipment.

An Appeal To The Christian Citizen
ship OF Maryland.

ship OF Maryland.
If Maryland is to be freed from
the domination of the political
''bramble" whose rule everywhere is
steeped in petty politics, with its
accompanying corruption, it must
come through an aroused Christian
Citizenship.
We, representing the Christian
Citizenship League of Maryland,
appeal to every Christian voter in
Maryland to get on the firing line i'll
the battle for Civic Righteousness in
our State.
We appeal especially at this time
that you will elect to the 1918
General Assembly men who will vote
to free our State from the curse of
Race Track Gambling. The follow
ing candidates who were members of
the 1916 General Assembly, voted
with the opponents Of Race Track
Gambling and should have the sup
port of all voters who would free
our State from the shame of being,
with Kentucky and Mexico, the only
three areas on the North American
Continent that legalize Race Track
Gambling; Messrs. Baker, Metze-
rott, Wright, Kephart, Wooden,
Leatherwood, Ely, Brohawn, Ward,
Dobson, Corbett, Stouffer, Strife,
Tenny, Hall, Burton, League, Lay
ton, Wimbrough and Delaplaine.
(House Journal, page 1909 We
urge all the Christian voters of their
respective political units to actively
support these men unless they are
wrong on some of the other great
moral questions.
The following candidates for the
1918 General Assembly voted against
the Hall Bill on March %, 1915
! (page 1304). We urge that they
be seen at once and unless they
positively agree to vote for Anti
Race Track Gambling legislation
that they be defeated: Messrs.
Buckler, Uric, Willis, Linthicum,
solley, Brazier, Given, Mcintosh,
Reich, Rice, Antonio, Currie, Distler,
Prinz, Degenhard, Kelly, McCusker,
McDonough, White, Fox, Griebel,
Luthardt, Campbell and Fisher.
The Hall Bill was reported to the
Senate by the Finance Committee on
April 1st. Senator Williams motion
to suspend the rules so that it could
be considered, was defeated by a
vote of II to 13. (Senate Journal,
page 1154).
Those voting in the negative with
Senator Johnson, PreAident of the
Maryland State Fair, Inc, the cor
porate name of the Laurel Race
archer, Chesley, Collier, Duvall,
ETolmead, Johnson, Legg, Mudd,
Norris, Odgen, Spiecher, and Zihl-
man. Messrs. Archer, Chesley, Col
Ter, Mudd, Odgen and Zihlman are
'ot candidates for reelection.
Mr.. Harrison of Worcester was
absent when the vote was taken, but
o keep his record 100 per cent
straight against Race Track Gamb-
ling, paired" with, Senator Cooper.
Will not the voters in their respec-
i've Legislative Districts see the
other men, who are either "hold-
overs" or candidates for reelection,
and get their definite pledge to sup
port Anti-Race Track Gambling

Encouraging Increase OF Enlist
mentS.

ments.
The past three weeks have shown
a very encouraging increase in the
number of (enlistments for the Navy
in the Maryland District, and the
results speak we'll for the State.
AS had been anticipated, the big
concert of the Fifth Regiment
Armory, Baltimore, by the Navy
Band of the Great Lakes Training
Station, under the direction of John
Philip Sousa, proved a great stim-
ulus for Navy recruiting. The
demonstration given these. lads in
blue showed what the people OF
Maryland think of the Navy's talent.
There is yet, however, need for
a great many more men before the
aquatic arm of the Nations defense
is complete,
The Bureau of Navigation bas
urged the recruiting officers all over
the country to redouble their efforts
to enlist electricians, both general
and radio, as well as apprentice sea-
men and men in other trades.
AS the war continues, the oppor-
tunities for advancement among the
enlisted personnel increase almost
without limit. i.'
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the near
est postmaster; directly from the
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert and
Lexington Streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Sub-sta-
tions at Cumberland and Hagers-
