been making drive the last few
days to fill the ranks of Company

when the local company is called to
the colors they will take with them
from this city 100 picked enlisted
men and three officers
The local company has SO enlisted
men and three officers and within a
few days the company will have 100
men, all that is allowed to a COM
pany under recent orders from de-
partment headquarters. The men are
being selected on their physical and
moral merits, and it really can be
said that when Company is called
to service the company membership
will contain mostly the best young
manhood of Wicomico. The enlist
ment of the company has for the
past several weeks been conducted
along the line of selectiye enlist
ments. Those who have become
members of the local company with

Marylands Missing Counties

Where is Durham county, Mary
land? There is no such county"
you reply. Well, law, or order in
Council passed October %, 1863,
created Durham county, and it has
never been repealed.
But Durham county is now merely
shadowy ghost of Maryland's inter
esting history. 1t was erected to
take care of what is now the nor
thern part of Delaware, but the deci-
sion of the Lord High Chancellor of
England, in 1850, put a quietus on
Lord Baltimore's claim to Delaware,
and with Durham county went also
Old Wicomico county, which includ-
ed the lower part of Delaware.
Durham and Old Wicomico are not
the only Maryland counties which no
longer exist, although the other
names represented territory which is
still within the State. Old Charles
county differed widely in its boun-
daries from the Charles county of
today, an dthen we mad Providence,
Patuxent and Potomac counties from
1854 to 1858. These were the
names given by the followers of
Cromwell to Anne Arundel, Calvert
, and st. Mary's counties respectively
Volumes could be written-vol-
| umes have been written-about the
! curious and interesting history of
the Maryland counties, each of which
has it's own traditions and individu-
| ality 1t is because of this individu-
ality that the State Constitution has
practically declared that there can
be no further carving or dividing
! among them without the vote of the
people to be affected.

ANAEMIC PEOPLE

Need More Iron in The Blood.
If you are anaemic, you need more
iron in your blood, and the tell-tale
symptoms are pale face-colorless
lips, ashen finger nails, poor circula-
ton, and short breath. and more SER
ious diseases are easily contracted
when in this condition.
Mr. w. H. Hodges, of Kansas City,
Mo-, says:-"I suffered from the eff
fects of bad blood, was rundown,
dizzy, had headaches and did not feel
like working. 1 had tried Beef Iron
and Wine without any help. After
taking Vinol four days l noticed an
improvement and its continued use
built UP my blood and my bad feel
ings disappeared like magic"
The bad effects of poor, devltallZ-
ed blood cannot be overestimated,
and it is the beef and cod liver pep
tones, iron and manganese pepto-
mates and glycerophosphates con-
tanned in Vinol that enriches the
blood, improves the circulation and
in this natural manner builds up
health and strength. Try it on our
guarantee.

Cultivation Of the Home Garden

The Importance of thorough and
continuous cultivation in the home
vegetable garden is pointed out in a
new Farmers Bulletin of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, No. 818,
THE Small Vegetable Garden" At
ter the seeds have esprouted or after
the eplants have been set in their
permanent locations, continued cul.'
tivation becomes necessary.
The gardener should never permit
the surface of the soil to become
baked or even to form an, appreci-
able crust Constant stirring with
hand tools or wheel cultiyatOr
should be practiced between the rows
and about the plants. Such stirr-
ing permits the air to penetrate the
soil, where it facilitates chemical ac-
ton and bacterial activity, destroys
weeds which otherwise would utilize
large amounts of plant food, and,
finally, conserves the moisture sup
ply. The rake is perhaps the gar
dener's most valuable tool in culti-
waiting. This can be passed back
ward and forward over the ground
until it is. in an open, mellow condl-
tion. Where vegetables grow close
ly in the rows it often will b eneceS-
sary to supplement the cultivation by
hand wedding. Small implements are
made for this purpose, and may be
purchased cheaply. Itsis we'll also in
some cases to pull up weeds by hand,
especially where they grow closely
about the stalks of the garden plants.
Just as the gardener should be
careful in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist, so
he should be careful later in the sea-
son not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring of very muddy
soil "puddles" it into al compact, ce-
ment-like mass in which the plant
food is securely locked. The garden
will require attention, however, as
soon as the excess moisture from a
rain has soaked in or partically evap-
grated. Unless the ground is stirr-
ed at this time a crust will form al
most inevitably. Such a crust, be-
sides restricting the plants, prevents
the access of air, and also facilitates
the loss of moisture through evapo-
ration
When, during prolonged dry spells
the plants give evidence of suffering
, because of the lack of moisture, wa
ter must, if possible, be supplied ar
tificially When a supply of piped
water is at hand, perhaps the most
usual method of irrigation is by
sprinkling with hose. If sprink-
ling is practiced it should be done
late in the afternoon. 1t is not Suf-
ficient merely to dampen the surface,
a thorough wetting should be given.
A moreI satisfactory and more eco
! nomical method of irrigation, how
ever, is to open small burrows be-
tween the rows of growing plants
and to supply water in these bitches
| from a hose or pipe. Several hours
after the water has soaked in. the
I dry earth should be drawn back into
! place.

SAVE We YOUR BOTTLES TILES
Serious Shortage of Preserving Jars
And Cans is, Threatened.

The homecoming specialists OF
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
urge every housekeeper to save bot
tles-especially wide-necked ones
for putting up fruits, preserves, jel-
lies, jams, and fruit juices. Saving
of bottles is highly important, they
say, as there threatens to be a seri-
Gus shortage of regular jars and pre-
serving cans this season.
The fruit products named, if seal
ed with corks and paraffin, can be
kept perfectly in these makeshift
containers. Jellies, jams and pre-
serves can be kept even in ordinary
drinking glasses. by the use of paper
and paraffin. Fruit juices should be
packed in ordinary small-necked bot
ties.
Vegetables, soups and meats, on
the other hand, to keep, must be
sealed by the usual fruit-jar or tim
can packing methods. Reserve regu-
lar containers for foods that can not
be packed in bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry
and evaporate all such products as
apples, pumpkin, and squash. They
advise strongly that if containers are
|. scarce locally, those in stock should
be used to preserve perishable pro-
ducts which have the highest nutri-
tive value Nothing should be pack
ed in jars or cans which can be con-
served effectively in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass
jars with screw tops or glass stop
pers, and, in fact, any receptacle OF
glass, crockery or porcelain, can be
sealed with cork or paper and para
fin.
Large tin containers or tin cans
with removable covers, provided the
body of the container is air and wa
ter tight, will be found useful in can
ming certain fruit products. Some
containers can be steriliZed and theiI
covers hermetically sealed in place
with solder or wax.
