Mary PickfOrd'S New Picture.

One very cold morning in Novem-
Der when the Atlantic Ocean was
showing a great deal of its temper,
Mary Pickford was taking all sorts
of chances by being left alone on a
half sinking craft off the coast of
Marblehead where she was rescued
as part of the story in her new pic
ture, The Pride of the Clam at the
Opera, March 5th.
Miss Pickford had been running up
and down the sea-washed deck, get
ting real water over her and franti-
cally crying for help as she felt the
frail craft sinking beneath her. AS
the water got up to her knees and
the cameras kept on clicking she
courageously emulated the example
of the boy who stood on the burning
deck until Maurice Tourneur, the di-
rector, arrived in a motor boat and
lifted her to safety. With her teeth
chattering from the morning bath
and still feeling little creepy after
the sensation, she took her director to
a corner of the cabin and whispered:
IF we are going to have any more
pictures like this, I'm going to learn
how to swim"

FALLS HEAVIEST ON FARMER
UodrTn Warfare Said 10 Make Great

TiIIcrS of the Soil.

Investigators having in view the III
rrrtSt of the farmer as class make
claim to the discovery that modern
warfare bears heaviest upon the till
crS OF the soil ami not, as popularity
supposed, upon the factory hand. IN
thu trenches on the French front 90
per cent of the soldiers are small
farmers and only y per cent are in
drstrial workers. This is due to the
fact that the newer weapons, the
uuick-firing cannon, the machine
guns. the magazine rifle, the gigantic
hcwitZer and the bomb thrOWers de-
mand highly organized and efficient
factories. So do the drafts for cloth
ing. steel helmets, concentrated foods
and other supplies. 1t takes several
active and expert workers at home
to maintain one soldier in the held.
The farms can be cared for by the
old men. the women and the children.
Therefore the army organizers are

Mile of Shade Trees For Each County

Announcement is just made by the
State Board of Forestry, Baltimore,
that enough trees for one mile of
highway planting in each county will
be furnished to the person or organi-
zation who will agree to plant them.
There are thousands of miles of
improved public highways in need of
planting and but few miles that are
shaded and made attractive by suit
able trees properly spaced. There is
particular need in the vicinity of
towns and through residential COM
munities for roadside planting. Here
is a chance for civic organizations,
business mems clubs, women's clubs
and individuals, at small expense to
do some real constructive work for
the community to help beautify the
highways which is next only to the
building and maintenance of the
roads themselves. Terms: The State
Board Of Forestry will furnish the
trees f. o. b. College Park and For
ester to superintend the planting, the
applicant to pay the freight and ex-
pressage on the trees, furnish the
needed help to the forester for plant
ing, and take care of the forester
while engaged in the work. Condi-
tions: % Trees must be planted
within the right-of-Way of an improv-
ed State or County highway, but not
within incorporated towns; (2) the
consent of the abutting land owners
must be secured for the planting, C3D
the planting location must be APPROX
ed by the State Forester.
The planting should be done in the
early spring and those who apply
first will receive first consideration.

The minister had to leave home on

him to say good-by. When he came

looked preternaturally grave under
the heavy responsibility thus sudden
ly assumed When night came and
h was called to his prayers, the
young guardian said:

Tom. and sister Alice, and Aunt May
and the little Jones boys, and me, but

ONIONS UP 366 PER CENT.
OderfferOus Vegetable Leads All The
Rest In Increase.

New York, Feb. 18.-Prices Of com
mon staple neutrality-suspicious., cab
bage and onions-have scared to such
heights in the past two months that
the average housewife is now COM
PEELED to consider them in the light
of luXuries. They have reached a
point where they are twice as expen-
sive as in Civil War times. Appar-
emily there are no substitutes for
these very necessary items of food
all foodstuffs have been caught in the
market swirl of high prices-and the
woman who buys for her family has
to be ingenious indeed to figure out
how to make a dollar go where a
quarter or a half went before.
Comparing wholesale prices of just
two months ago with the prices of
yesterday, it will be seen that pota-
toes have gone up 100 per cent, and
the price was high then; onions, 36G
per cent; cabbages, 21212 per cent;
beans, 300 per cent; beets, 100 per
cent, and caulifiowers. 100 per cent.
