Food Riots and Farming.

The above is the heading of an ed
itorial in leading farm paper. The
editor points out that food for man
and beast is of first importance yet
those who live on farms where food
is abundant can scarcely appreciate
the pangs of hunger that caused the
recent riots. All surplus food should
be canned, evaporated and stored for
future use. While poor distribution
coupled with an under production
was the cause of the present condition
it should serve as a warning this year.
There should be concentrated eff
fort to produce feed for man and
stock and build up the fertility of the
soil for better production in the future
SO as to avoid food riots in land of
plenty.

Would Join Union Blue.

Another gratifying example OF 10y
atty was demonstrated at the L. 5.
Recruiting Office, Little Rock, Ark,
when Mr.. J. L. Leigh applied for en-
listment in the U. S. Navy.
Mr.. Leigh requested that he be
enlisted at once and sent to the lar
gest battleship ahoat for service on
that VESSEL, and he was greatly disap-
pointed when informed by the Re-
cruiting Officer that he exceeded the
required age limit by some forty odd
years, he being siXty-nine years of
age.
Mr.. Leigh is warrior of expert
ence, having enlisted in the Confeder-
ate Army at the age of thirteen and
having served for four years, which
ended in April, 1865, under General
Lee, at Appomattox.
1t is most gratifying, in these times
of need to find such loyal spirit in
the "boys of 1861" and such an ex-
ample as shown by our worthy veter-
an, Mr.. Leigh, will no doubt find a
like response by the "boys of 1917"

State To List Id|ers.

Governor Harrington will at once
direct the C mmittees in the various
counties who are taking the military
census to include in their reports the
names of all idlers. This is prelim-
mary to action by the State forcing
men to "do their bit" The men
who will not enlist must work.
The Governors decision also is
part of the nation wide effort to get
more men for farm work. 1t is the
belief of men familiar with the con-
ditions in Maryland that large num-
Der of able e-bodied male citizens in
the various counties and Baltimore
city do not do sufficient work to sup
port themselves. A vigorous effort
will be made, under the existing vag-
rancy laws, to force these men onto
the farms, and if these laws are found
insufficient for the purpose, new leg
islation will be passed at the coming
session of the Legislature.

great opening for him, and Esther told
him he must go. He urged an imme-
diate marriage as he must sail in three
weeks If he accepted. But her mother
strongly opposed the hurried wedding.
Judge Marvin had been dead only few
weeks, and she felt that her daughter
was now being torn from her. Esther
assured her mother she would remain
with her, but as she still kept the same
attitude, March was for giving up the
expedition, when Esther prevailed up
on him to 60.

Howard March did not return In
three months, but she heard regularly
from him. Sometimes the letters were
short, but when they halted, and he
had more leisure they were long, filed
with accounts of his travels, and al
ways breathing devotion which
seemed to increase rather than lessen
by absence. After about eight months
the letters ceased The last one had
told of starting on trip into wild,
unexplored country, and as the weeks
went by without any tidings Esther
concluded March was still beyond any
means of communication. But when
the weeks heightened into months, and
the months into years with never
word from him she knew not what to
think. Those who had known him had
settled 1t that either he had been killed
by savages, or had chosen to remain
away. Esther would not accept either

her belief that he would return.

War Increasing The Demand
For Canned Goods.

Most canning factories are entirely
sold out or all goods put up last year.
In fact the supply was not equal to
the demand, The war developed an
unusual demand for Americas can
ned goods both at home and abroad
andI last years crop of tomatoes,
beans, peas, and corn was very poor
resulting in a light pack in most Sec
tons. Realizing the greater demand
there will be for canned goods this
year the canning companies are pay
ing the growers better prices than
ever before. The growing of Gamers
crops under contract is very profitable
when labor is available.

The Overt Act AGAIN.

Billy and Memo were great friends.
Billy was a goat and Memo young
thoroughbred bull. They spent many
hours each day, heads together, push
ing one another about, the bulls great
or weight doing all the pushing. The
whole barn lot was dug up by Billy's
sharp hoofs. One day, when engaged
in their favorite pastime, Nemo's stub
by horns became locked In Billy's curly
ones. It seemed for time that they
could not "let CO." Then Memo gave
mighty toss Of his head, throwing
Billy clear over him. Billy landed
right side up with a shrill cry that
seemed to say, "You're too dinged
rough" He pranced around in front
Of Memo and with a mighty burst of
speed planted a knockout" blow In
the center Of Nemo's forehead. With
a stified moan, Memo fell to the ground
"for the count" Billy surveyed the
wreck, then strode haughtily away
but never after were Billy and Memo
seen In their old sport.-Indianapolis

"Well, she can't 60 on this way much
longer"
Mrs. Flint gave her opinion with an
air of finality that was entirely con-
vincing to Mrs. Baker on the other side
of the fence. In fact, Esther Marvin
had for some time furnished topic Of
conversation to the inhabitants Of the
small New England town.
Time was when 1t was considered
quite the fashionable thing to send
ones daughter to Miss Marvin's School
for Young Ladies'; but that was some
nine years ago when Miss Marvin's
social position as the daughter Of the
lately deceased judge not only gave
her influence In her own circle, but
served as sort of lure to those trific
lower in the social scale. When the
Judge died, leaving his wife and daugh-
ter nothing after his debts were paid,
but the fine old house on the hill, Es-
ther decided that the best thing she
could do was to convert the big billiard
room into a school room, and try to
make living for her mother and her
self by utilizing her college education
as teacher. The change in their for
tunes told heavily on the frail little
mother, who two years later driftcd on
to less material world leaving her
daughter to face the problem alone.
The school prospered, but aside from
her loneliness, Esther had another
problem to face. She was a staunch,
COURAGEOUS soul, and she did not wuver.
Before her fathers death Esther had
become engaged to Howard March.
The alliance had been approved Of by
the judge for March was his old
friends nephew, and he believed he
saw In the young man energy and
strength of character sufficient for him
to make an honorable career. Esther
loved him as only such a deep, true
nature can. They were to be married
In about four months, when March told
her of an expedition he had been asked
to join to take up land for tea growing

Why Patriarchs Lived Longer.

The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause In those days the fount of hui
manity was fresher, says writer.
While immunity to certain diseases
has been handed down to us by our
parents, we have also received the
weakened vitality which was theirs as
a result of their fight against disease.
Sooner or later the race will become
immune to tuberculosis, but with that
immunity will come the diminished
power as a result of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.

$7,OOO,O00,oo WarL Loan.
Greatest Appropriation Made
In History of the World.

|
Washington, April 17.-The War
Finance bill, providing for issuance
of 81, 900, 100000 in securities-the
largest single war buget in any nations
history-was passed unanimously to-
night by the Senate.
After seven hours of discussion the
Administration measures which was
passed by the House last Saturday
and which provides for loan to the
Allies of $1,000, 100000, was approx
ed by the Senate with few changes
in record time. The amendments
may necessitato a conference, or the
Senate changes may be accepted by
the House.
Representations made today to the
Secretary were to the effect that the
country is in excellent condition to
Absorb without disturbing moral busi-
ness virtually the entire amount OF
of the issue. 1t is unlikely, however.
that the full 81, 900, 100000 in bonds
d certificates will be issued at one
u". A more probable coarse will
a., ulf ring oi the entire s5,OOO,-
tw, 900 in bonds at one time and the
.,Ilhhnding of the $4,000 600, 900 in
certificates until the money is needed.
As the 81, 600, 200, 900 in certiti-
cat are short-term Government
notes, there probably would be no
disposition on the part of the Federal
Reserve Board to regard them as in
vestments of such a term as to make
them undesirable to banks. Banks
lending the Government money on
these certificates would still be regard
ed as preserving their resources in a
LIQUID condition, under previous rul-
ings of the board.
In the case of the bond issue, how
ever, the Government is desirous OF
reaching the millions of the indivi-
dual investors in the country, rather
than placing large blocks of the bonds
with financial institutions. The de-
nominations of the bonds are yet to
be determined, but there is strong
likelihood that they will be issued in
denominations as low as $25, so that
persons of small means may be per-
mitted to subscribe.

A Famous Hymn.

Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams wrote the
famous hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" Mrs. Adams was an Englishwom-
an, born in 1905. She was a writer OF
note in the periodicals of the time, and
she also composed catechism for
children which was published in 1S45.
Just at what time and under what
circumstances the hymn was written
Is not known. 1t was first published
in 1S41, but the author did not live to
know the fame the authorship brought
her. She died at forty-four, and since
that time the lines she penned have
sung themselves into the hearts Of un-
told millions the world over.
