Farm Demonstration Notes.

Meetings were held in the interest of
hog cholera control last week at Bethesda.
Colesville and Layhill with a total atten-
dance Of rs. Considerable interest is
shown in the movement, and in each case
a local organization was formed to prevent
any serious outbreak in the future. This
week meetings are being held in Brooke

culture, is the principal speaker at these
meetings.
County Agent Van Hoesen spent Mon

been sent by Director Symons to assist the
new County Agent. j. P. Burdette. start
his work. Mr.. Burdette was formerly Of
Montgomery county.
Miss Montgomery, a trained colored
worker in domestic science and home eco
nomics, came Monday morning to arrange
for spending each alternate week working
with the colored schools of the county.
There is splendid field for service in this
respect. and Miss Montgomery will take
over all the colored work which Miss Eric
son had planned to do. This will permit
Miss Erickson to give all of her time to the
white schools. Both teachers and pupils
are quite enthusiastic over the sewing
classes for the winter,
The interest in community exhibits is
greater and more widespread than ever
before. Dates have already been arranged
for Brighton, October Goth Germantown,
November 30th and Burtonsville, Deem

soon. Any community wishing to take up
this work for the first time should commu-
nicate with County Agent Van Hoesen al
once.
The matter of seed corn should be upper
most in the minds Of every corn grower al
he begins husking the new crop. Now tina
1t is too late for field selection, the mex
best thing is selection from the pile whit

the amount needed, drying it out as quick!
as possible and storing in frost-proo
place much replantine will be prevented
and stronger and more vigorous plant
secured. Careful seed selection Viii boos

Persons passing as Government official
have visited at least two colored settle
ments in the county within the last few
days and confiscated some Of the canned
fruits and vegetables intended for hom'
supplies for the winter. This is especially
regrettable, since a successful effort wa'
made to assist these communities to grow
more and better gardens than usual, and
to put up more supplies for winter use
These communities responded splendidly
and two held very creditable exhibits last
week. This confiscatine -of-supplies fraud
has been worked in many parts of the
country, and the Government has issued
warning that all persons demanding sup
plies in this manner are impostors. Their
demand should be fatty refused and the
sheriff notified at once.

The present status of the Prohibition
Movement is such that it demands the
critical thought and the utmost diligence
of its friends.
To accept recent events as a settlement
OF the Liquor Question. and relax one bit
in effort would be criminal.
Do not mistake Prohibition sentiment for
victory.
For number Of years there has been
Prohibition sentiment enough in the United
States to secure National Prohibition at
any general national election. If united,
yet the Liquor Traffic is still entrenched
in our national politics, with sufficient
power to dominate the policies of both
the great political parties. even as against
the powerful friends of Prohibition within
said parties.
The Senate has authorized the submis.
sion of the Prohibition Amendment, not
through friendship for prohibition, but
in order to shift the responsibility from
itself to the States, and temporarily rid
itself Of troublesome question, while at
the same time it saddled the Amendment
Proposition with questionable six-year-
Limitation clause, probably intended to
becloud the whole issue and furnish the
liquor forces something with which to
stage a contest.
The House of Representatives may or
may not ratify the action of the Senate.
Suppose 1t does. what them
To secure the ratification by the requi-
site number of States will require hercu-
lean efforts. You cannot assume that the
legislatures of dry" States-many of which
are strongly for States Riehts-will ratify
the National Amendment, and even if they
did it would still require the assent of
number of wet" States and 1t would be
easy for the Liquor Interests to concen-
trate their corrupting millions on the last
two or three or even one necessary
State, and thereby defeat the whole propo-
sitiOn.
What then 7
Suppose that in the meantime you have
in your zeal for the amendment PROPOSE
tion-neglected and destroyed the Prohi-
bition party, which will then be more
urgently needed than ever before. will you
not have wasted the most vital force in
cident to the Prohibition Movement
Can you afford to lose the Prohibition
partyY
The party in Maryland will lose its place
upon the official ballot unless its candi-
date receives one per cent of the total
vote cast this fall Dc you who stand for
good citizenship want this to happen
There are three candidates for the Comp
trollership. All three are personally worthy
and well qualified for the position.
But only one OF them stands upon
platform which declares for Prohibition,
and that one is WILLIAM MAGE. the
Prohibition candidate of the only dry"
party in Maryland. A vote for him is a
public declaration for Prohibition and will
help the party to maintain It's legal exist
ence. and be available for continued use

FALL HATS.
Points About the Very
Newest of New Millinery.

There are no between season hats.

Of the nineties when autumn came
around. A new hat 1t must be, Of a
sort that could face February gales I'M
abashed and shine at the Labor day
festivity.
In the four shapes which share favor
for early autumn exploitation-namely
sailors, mushrooms, tams and turbans
analysis will reveal military infiu-
ences In some form or other. Some
times there is found the high, indented
crown. Again, the military note is
sounded by visor, and there are doz-
ems of picturesque adaptations of sol
dierly headgear made OF velvet, of silk,
OF ribbon, of leather and of feathers.
Pasted COG is a favored feather trim
ming, the tiny, downy feather sprays
applied like small flowers all over IA
hat crown reminding one of little East
er chicks.
Ii Is almost impossible to resist the
impulse to stroke these hat crowns and
find out if they are as soft as they look
Most OF the new hats have very high
crowns-high, that Is, in proportion To
the brim.
These tall crowns are dignified rath-
er than dashlng, and the new headgear
sits straight instead OF aslant or askew
on the head, another element of dig
nifty. Very often the dash of mil
linery model Is due entirely to the
sweep Of brim. Were the same brim
an inch narrower at one side or its
slope very little more moderate the
hat would be quite ordinary and UNI
worthy OF note There is great deal
of art in the placing of n hat brim, its
( movement" and its size i'm proportion

1t is quite surprising how many Of
the new French hats are of felt, and

dously high OF crown and with a tiny,
upturned brim. Is of chamois felt. A
rich curled ostrich feather in navy
blue Is held against the front of the
hat by a twisted blue and tan cord.
Some of these felt turbans are lovely
in coloring. Besides chamois, one notes
olive drab, puritan gray and rust gold.
Very often the trimming is merely a
band of grosgrain ribbon with tailor
ed bow There is infinite art In the
making of these French tailored bows.

i'm Europe are short. which does not
give the submarine commander more
than two or three hours TO come up TO
the surface to refill his accumulators
and do other necessary things which
cannot be performed under the sea.
An overcast sky and "a little white
crest ON the wave to hide the periscope

1T is fortunate for our side that
Germany has no seaboard like France
or England, or Italy in the Mediter
ranean. If she had the odds against
the allies would be terrible to combat.
The submarine is like consumption
and is as difficult to eradicate.
IL Travelled across the Atlantic on
British transport which was well arm
ed with six inch guns and smaller
quick firers, and we were attacked by
submarines three times. The gunners
fired at them point blank by day and
by night, and our ship was not injured.

torpedoes to hit us. / do not know
if our gunners got the submarines or
not 1t seemed to be the customary
thing to our officers, who took the at
tack of the submarines as matter of
course
IL do not think that the statements
given out by the allies as to the num-
Der of ships that enter or leave port
mean anything. If the number of mer-
chant ships sunk in the week decreases
then We know that we are controlling
the submarine, but If it drops one week
and jumps up the next 1t is another
thing entirely"
