FARM OR FIGHT.

From the Elkton Wing.
Appeals are being made from all
quarters to the farmers of America
at this time. The prospect of a food
shortage is so alarming as to lead
many Of our public men to urge upon
our farmers the Importance. the ne
cessity, the patriotic duty of growing
larger crops during the present sea
son. While such appeals no doubt
proceed from perfectly proper spirit,

/, Newark Ledger.

From the Newark Ledger.
Men between the ages of As and
SO years can organize military com.
panies. The idea is a good one. There

some way. The companies to be known
IS home guards.
The government will accept these
companies, and furnish them all the
necessary equipments of war. The
home people will he pleased to krov

protected against the assault Of roam

SNOW HILL HAS DONE MORE
THAN HER SHARE

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
An important conference of NUM-
cipal officials of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland was held in Salisbury
last week. and was attended by the
Mayor and members of the City Coun-
Gil of Snow Hill There were about
eighty delegates present. including
State Senators, Mayors, City Coun-
cilmen and others. One of the prin-
cipal things discussed was the build
ing Of State roads and their relation
to the streets Of the town which they
run through. II was shown that the
City of Baltimore had received S6,-
100000 of the State Road Fund to
build sixteen miles OF street in that
city, but not a single foot of highway
has been constructed through the
incorporated towns Of Maryland.
Snow Hill, Pocomoke City and Der
lin have built their own streets con
nected with the State Highway sys
TENS in this county Snow Hill was a
, pioneer town Of the peninsula in
building stone streets. or course
there has been improvements since
We inaugurated the work We paid fol

pal thoroughfare is practically par
OF the State Road system. and should
| be so considered. This street is used
ten times as much by foreign trave
as It is used by the people of Snow

make this connection OF a half mile
at the States expense. While thi,
piece of road is within the corporal,

is practically no houses and this sec

1t was just such cases as this tina

Snow Hill has certainly done her full

SHOULD BE DRAWN
AND CHARTERED.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The terrible explosion at the Bald
win munition plant at Chester Pa,
last Tuesday, wiped out the lives Of
many people who were taking advan-
tage Of the high rates of pay offered
for a dangerous occupation; even at
its best conditions. If the destruction
of life was the result of work done by
a man or men in sympathy with the
country with which we are at war, it
cannot be excused upon that ground,
and the wiping out of lives Of inno-
cent workmen and women is simply
murder. 1t was high time for this
country to arouse to the necessity to
protect the homes, and the right to
work, of free people. The wretch
who, while living under the protection
of the United States, will destroy hui
man lives and property wholesale, de-
serves to be drawn and quartered.

A Suggestion That
Will Help a Number of

Publishers of magazines and other pc
riodicals having a circulation In Kansas
are somewhat puzzled as to what course
TO pursue regarding their newsstand
sales in that State.
The legislature recently passed la"
which forbids the barter sale, giving
away or advertising Of cigarettes or
cigarette papers in Kansas.
The law reads as follows.
II shall be unlawful FOR any person, company
OF corporation 20 advertise cigarettes OF cigar.

The Acknowledgement of Kansas, asked
for an Interpretation of the law by pub

The encouragement added:
am also OF the opinion that anyone who sells
such newspaper or periodical containing such al

The Idea Is This; Do
You Know Where Your
Boys and Your Girls Are?

1t was our privilege, night or two
ago, to find ourselves the guest in an
ideal home.
This ideal home is one of the most
beautiful in Detroit.
What impressed US first and strongly
was the democratic spirit of the very
happy family that lives in this home
The family lives in large house-in
an elegant house-but there was nothing
anywhere to suggest the emptiness that
is so often marked in large and elegant
houses.
Nothing of the cold storage feature Of
large and elegant houses was here.
There was a warmth of heartiness in
the welcome at the door and cheeriness
everywhere beyond.
The head of the family had firm,
vice-like handclasp ready as he came
forward to greet US.
That felt good.
And in the sitting room sat mother

learned, burns real wood.
That looked good.
We can see it on some winters night
when there is snow and frost every
where; that big fire place, burning real
wood that snaps and cracks. just a-blaz-
ing.
The head of the family indicated to
us at once that the family is very proud
Of its home.
"You must let me show you around
the house." he said.
And around the house we went.
We found the boys in the smoking
room, some reading, some chatting co.
gether and some absorbed in some game
they were playing.
Three or four of them were getting
ready to leave for the front.
This is the kitchen said the head
of the house.
He pushed open the door, and there
were the girls. doing the dinner dishes
in model work room.
"And this is our kindergarten, our
guide announced. as we entered room
farther along the hall
One of the daughters was playing a
ukelele for an attentive audience Of very
well-behaved youngsters.
