No notice is made Of their comings
and goings, but the results of their
activities are seen on every side.
During the session of the last Leg
islature a number of bills were in
troduced which would have seriously
affected the revenue of all the coun-
ty papers, but the legislative commit
tee of the Maryland Press Associa-
ton was on the job, and by sending
out a clarion call to it's fellow-editors
enough support was raised in time to
kill all the measures introduced,
measures which were offered by one
of the local Senators because the pa
per in his county did not give him the
support he thought he was entitled to.

One Of your most pressing prob
lens and one to be acted upon without
delay, is the matter Of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite Of the best efforts Of the
manufacturers and the Government
materials for making fertilizers are
scarce and high in price. Therefore.
1t is all the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer Is
capable Of giving.
The mobilization Of our army, TO
Quiring 4 maximum movement Of
troop trains and supply trains, has on
er.taxed the capacity Of our railroads
as never before, and in order for fer.
tili1ers to be distributed this season.
the movement must Of necessity, b.
gin early and tho unloading Of cars
at destination be done with utmost
despatch. Every car must be loaded
to capacity.
Today fertilizers are cheaper than
farm crops or farm labor. A bale Of
cotton, a bushel Of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds Of fertil
izers now than ever before, hence to
assure the performance Of a patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself, or.
der your fertilizers promptly so that
You may be sure to get them. And
when you get them, use them with
the greatest degree Of intelligence.
Satisfactory results are bound to fol-
low-both to you and to the Govern
ment.

Beans and peas will be ready in few

lots of them wasted thru ignorance

can peas, and last year | tried few

of laundry help increased? No. When
they ask for increase Of wages TO
help them compete with II. G. L., they
are let ou. AMI cheaper and ineNperi-
enced help takes their places Every
thing in the grocery line has gone up.
Have the grocery clerks and delieyry
boys been given larger salaries? 1t
will not be long until many of us will
be kicking about the poor service
given US by the icemen. What kind
Of service can YOU expect from men
who are paid s225 a day and who are
laid off as soon as the hot weather is
over? The price Of meals at restau-
