Army recruiting officers are becon-

Since April 1 the average number

The officer of the day, unofficially,
said everything was perfectly lovely.
Following inspection many girl
soldiers obtained leave and visited

or received hosts of friends and rela-
tives.
Just outside the entr&nce to the
camp there is q confectionery shop,

Secretary Houston, of the Depart

Maryland for public road improve
ment during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1916, the sum of $780,

The total apportionment to all
states for the year will be $14,500,-

struction and maintenance of rural
post roads. This is the third appor-
tionment under the Federal act,
$4,85O,O00 having been divided
among the states last year and So
100000 this year.
Despite the fact that Maryland's s
new road system has come to be
known as one of the best in the coun-
try, AZ states are given greater
allottments out of the Forthcoming
apportionment. The five states get

WILL NOT SEIZE HOME FOODS.
Government Issues Emphatic Denial
OF Report That 1t Is Going
To Commander The
HOucouifosc DantpU

Housewives Pantry.
There is no truth in a widely cir
culated statement that the Govern
ment expects to take food supplies
from any family. Both the Food
Administration and the Department
of Agriculture join in a statement to
counteract what seems to be de-
liberate propaganda to the effect
that the Government intends to take
from every family all canned goods
put up in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is
that the Government has been urg-
ing the canning, drying, and pre-
serving of fruits and vegetables so
that they will be in convenient
form for the Government TO handle
and transport when it takes them
away from the people. Further
elaboration is that these goods are
to be taken away from the American
homes and shipped to England.
In one instance a motorist stopped
at farmhouse to fill the radiator of
his automobile. In the course OF
conversation he casually inquired
whether the farmers family was can
ming all the surplus fruits and veget-
ables in order to help conserve the
food supply. He was informed that
the farmer was not doing this be-
cause the Government intended to
take all the canned goods away ex-
cept small part of it actually need
ed by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the Government
On the contrary, both the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Food
Administration are strongly urging
housewives to can and preserve
especially at this time, all surplus
fruits and vegetables in order that
the households themselves may have
a cheap and plentiful supply of food

President Wilson has issued a
proclamation calling upon the school
children of the nation to do their
part in the war by joining the Junior
Red Cross to assist in the mercy

The President says the children's
branch of the Red Cross will give an
opportunity for relief work for the
benefit of both the community and
country; will teach how to save in
order that suffering children else
where may have the chance to live
and will make possible the "best

to which we have all pledged our
selves"
