A MOVED SUIT.
Woman Orders Dentist to Extract Her

Woman Orders Dentist to Extract Her
Teeth, Then Sues Him.
Berlin, Feb 9.-An unusual court
decision here has just had to do with
the complaint Of a young woman who
disliked her own white but tiny teeth,
and induced a dentist to pull the whole
% at once and substitute larger and
more artistic teeth. She had scarcely
received the new ones before she rued
the experiment-and sued the dentist.
The evidence showed that five Of the
twenty-five teeth were altogether
sound. that three had only small
cavities, and that three more had
cavities easily filled. At least these
eleven teeth should not have been
pulled. Though the dentist had pro-
tested as much to her originally, she
had insisted that they all be extracted.
The court held that the dentist had
no right to submit blindly to the
wishes of patient, and that if the
patient insisted on an operation
against his or health. the dentists
duty was to decline to perform it.
The dentist accordingly was found
guilty Of the law pertaining to good
manners"

Navy Complement Not FILLED.

Despite the fact that the operation
of the Selective Draft Law has con
siderably diminished the number Of
young men available, enlistments in
the Navy from Maryland place this
State well up in the ranks of the
Eastern Naval Division.
Lieutenant M. A. Leahy, Navy Re
cruiting Officer for the Maryland Dis
trict is somewhat disappointed, how.
ever, with the more recent results
and believes the falling off in appli
cants is due largely to the erroneous
impression that the Navy's compile
ment has been filled. Lieutenant
Leahy is anxious to correct this i'm
preston.
There is still need OF severa
thousand more recruits before the
Navy will be completely filed to itl
recently authorized strength of 150,
900.
The ratings in which men are
needed most urgently are apprentice
seamen, firemen, cooks, bakers anc
mess-attendants.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the near
est postmaster; directly from the
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert ant
Lexington Streets, Baltimore or from
the Navy Recruiting Substations al
Cumberland and Hagerstown.

Are You a Member?

Heretofore we women of the Peo-
ple's Home Journal Needlework De-
partment have worked for our own
pleasure or the pleasure of our
friends, but now all thoughts of our
comfort and desires must be set
aside. Our country needs her needle
women; she calls to them to make
warm; knitted garments for the men
of our navy, and it is the duty of
every Americana needlewomen to
answer this call.
1t is not generally known that
while the government furnishes part
of mans first outfit, he must buy
all the clothing he needs thereafter,
from his own pay. Even If he is
wounded in battle and his clothing
is blood-stained and shot-torn, it is
he, not the taxpayer or the govern
ment, who pays for the new uniform.
All of our warships now in Euro
pean waters have been supplied with
knitted outfits bv the Navy League
of the United States, an organization
fifteen years, and which in that time
has worked steadily for an adequate,
properly organized navy.
The Peoples Home Journal Sec
tion of the Navy League of the
United States has made a vigorous
start.
We needlewomen of the Peoples
Home Journal are more than willing
to do our share of this important
work for our country.
Any subscriber to or reader Of this
magazine, male or female, may be-
come a member of this Section of
the Navy League of the United
States, by contributing either money
or labor. No dues other than this
are required. We want men who
will give small sums of money neces-
sary, to purchase the wool for one or
two garments; we want women who
will furnish wool and knit garments;
we want women who will knit gar
ments from wool to be supplied to
them.
If you wish to become member
of The Peoples Home Journal Sec
tion of the Navy League of the
United States, send in your name
and address, at the same time let us
know what you can do to help along
this glorious work.
An application blank will be for
warded to each candidate, and, on
the filing of such application when it
is returned to this office, the candi-
date will become an associate mem
Der of the League and will receive
an appropriate certificate of member

The United States is financing it.
self in this war by loans and taxes.
1t obtains funds from the people,
some by taxation and some by the
sale of bonds, and then it goes into
the markets and buys from the peo-
ple what it needs. The people sup
ply the government with money and
the government with this money
buys from the people what it needs
for the war.
BY taxation this generation will
pay it's portion of the cost OF the
war. By the sale of bonds the next
generation is called upon to pay its
portion, and this last portion will be
paid from the wealth production
after the war.
By this method the capital of the
country, it's sources of income and
wealth, are unimpaired. 1t is only
the yearly increment of this property
that is called upon to bear portion
of the cost of the war. Thus despite
the waste of war and the destruction
of property involved the country may
emerge from the conflict stronger
financially, more efficient and even
Weather than before. What the
government receives it receives from
the people without impairing the
sources of wealth of the country, and
passes it back to the people in ex-
change for the productions of the
country. 1t is in way only a shift
ing Of credits.
The government collects the cur
rent taxes and by means of bonds
anticipates taxes of the. years to
come, and all the money thus acquir-
ed passes back into the hands of the
taxpayers. This is why governments
which follow sound economic
methods not only are not impov-
erished by wars but sometimes
emerge the stronger as England did
after the Napoleooic wars and the
United States did after our great
Civil War.

GOVERNMENT BUYING HORSES
Will Deal Direct With Farmers In
Future.

Will Deal Direct With Farmers In
Future.
The War Department is arranging
to buy horses direct from the farm
ers. Horses have heretofore been
purchased thru contractors and re-
cent conference shows that the Gov
ernment has been paying from SAC
to $85, more than the farmers have
received. The purpose of the new
plan is for the Government to gel
horses as cheaply as it fairly may
and at the same time pay the farm
ers a price which will compensate
him for his labor.
While we are not authorized to
quote prices, as that will depend on
the size and quality of the horses
yet we can assure the farmers that
the price will be most satisfactory if
the horses are accepted. Anyone
may obtain from the Quartermaster
General U. S. Army, Washington, D.
c., information as to the prices they
have been paying for horses. We
are advised that the War Depart
ment will not necessarily reject an
offer if the price is not right, but il
it is too high will so advise the farm
er and give him an opportunity to
consider offering lower price.
The proper methods of procedure
will be for the farmers to organize
in the various communities where a
surplus of horses exist, ascertain
what they can furnish, agree upon a
price to offer and communicate to
the remount officer in the district as
shown in the announcement of the
War Department. If the offers are
entertained the remount officer will
advise the farmers when an inspector
will come to see the animals.

Letter From Former County Agent.
To Editor Midland Journal:

A@C@SOh ~AVAA RVHAhCN AOuAUy HgcnD.
To Editor Midland Journal:
Thinking that my many friends in
Cecil county would like to hear how
their former County Agent is doing
I am writing the following.
am located on the homestead
farm on the shores of Georgian Bay,
which has been in the hands of the
family since it was hewn out of the
virgin forest. There are over 800
acres in the place, which contains
considerable woodland along the
shore. The farm has recently been
made Bird Sanctuary and Crown
Game Preserve by the Ontario Gov
ernment, which is looked upon as
the beginning of movement to pro-
tect wild life of all kinds.
Upon returning to the farm l
Immediately put in large stock of
cattle and sheep. Have just sold
the wool through the sheep breeders
association at good prices. Apples
will be light crop but probably it
is just as well as owing to the en-
barge to Europe if there had been
normal crop they would not be worth
picking.
We, are now hard at work with
second crop alfalfa and barley har-
vest. The 40 arces of old alfalfa is
rather thin, as it we'll might be, as it
has been in from eight to eighteen
years. The 35 acres of fresh seeded
alfalfa is looking we'll but the criti-
cal time will come when the barley
and oats are harvested. However,
if we have favorable weather 1t will
come on all right. Up here we don't
know anything about growing alfal-
ia, we just SOW it and trus0 to Provi-
dence.
In this district probably three
fourths of the hay is alfalfa, mix
ture of alfalfa and other grasses.
twenty-five years ago when I COM
menced growing it the farmers had
just as many reasons why they could
not grow it as they have in Cecil
county today.
There is very little dairying, and
also very little grain is sold.
In this district, the Beaver River
Valley, the main money crops are
bacon hogs, beef cattle, clyde horses
and few sheep, and for from five
to ten miles back from the Bay
apples. Georgian Bay apples have
made name for themselves on the
British market. While am doing
we'll financially here, I enjoyed the
county agent work and miss meeting
my many good friends in Cecil coun-
ty and hope that few at least of
them will wander up to the Beaver
Valley on the shore of Georgian Bay.
Yours truly,
G.. F. MARSH.

MARYLAND PEAS FOR NAVY,
Orderc For 5.1OO.O 900 Pounds To Be

Organize Farm Bureaus.

One of the greatest needs of the
present war, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture. is
the effective organization of agricui-
tural forces. The department advo-
Gates the formation of county farm
bureaus as an effective means OF
securing needed local organization.
The county farm bureau. says the
department, helps to unity the eff
forts of existing farmers organiza-
tions and to strengthen their WORK,
The bureau is likened to- rural
chamber of agriculture, correspond
ing in many of it's functions to city
chamber of commerce. The farm
bureau grew out of a similar need
for effective agricultural organiza-
ton to meet rural problems, and it
has been described as organized self
help. 1t started as an outgrowth OF
the work done by county agricultural
agents, but it has become the local
foderating agency through which
groups of rural people may find
expression.
The farm-bureau plan, as seen by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, provides for repre-
sentative membership, with COM
mittees and county council. The
membership should be general over
the county, and at least four-fifths
of it should be made up of active
farmers. Those who are interested
in either the formation or The de-

The Compulsory Work Law, pas
sed at the special session of the
Legislature, became operative on
Monday. The States Attorney and
Sheriff of each county have received
a copy of the rules and regulations
which explain that every able~bodied
male person between the ages Of Is
and SO years, who are not, on Au-
gust 20, 1917, or any time there
after, regularly or continuously en-
ployed in some lawful ana useful
business, occupation, trade or pro-
fession must, with three classes of
exceptions, register for work under
the law.
Those exempted under the terms
of the law are (a) students and per-
sons fitting themselves to engage in
trade or industrial pudsuit; (b)
persons temporarily unemployed by
reason of differences with their en-
ployers and (c) persons engaged or
employed in any seasonal business
trade or occupation, but every unem-
ployed man must register.
Large incomes or revenue from
the ownership of property does not
exempt "a man from the provisions of
the Compulsory Work act. Every
man must be actively at work or he
must register with the Clerk of the
Circuit Court of the county in which
he lives, and to avoid arrest and i'm
