The War Department asks that no further
attempt be made to collect peach stones or
nut shells for the making of gas masks
The Government also requests that no
further effort be made to secure black
walnut for gun stocks. Announcement has
also been made that there will be no further
restrictions In the sale of lime for agricul-
tural purposes. In fact. agricultural lime
and limestone have been given the right
Of way in transportation. Gradually the
machinery Of war is slowing down. May
the machinery Of peace soon be running
on high
Lime has been one Of the chief factors
in the agricultural development of Mont
gomery county. A recent survey shows
that fully 5000 tons were used during the
season OF 1918. And nearly every dealer
reports that he could have sold from one
third to one-half more If he could have
had deliveries from the manufacturers.
Lime is an agricultural necessity Yet it
is not good business to use lime where it
Is not needed any more than it is not to
use ii where il is needed, or to use too
little to correct the acidity when applied.
Nor is IL good business to pay a higher
price for some particular form or brand
because of some fancied superiority. Lime
represents too heavy an investment on
most of our farms to justify a man in do
ing any guessing, or in trusting too inn
plicitly in the claims of those who are
financially interested in its sale. One Of
the purposes of the farm demonstration
Office is to discover the lime requirement
of soils before making the investment.
The first public meeting Of the Mont
somery County Farm Power Association
will be held in the Assembly Hall of the
Gaithersburg High School on Wednesday

President Calls Upon Every Ameri-
can To join Red Cross.

President Wilson. in proclamation made
public, calls on every American to join the
American Red Cross during Christmas Roll
Call Week, December l6 to 2S, land thus
send forth to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it awaits and
for which it stands in greatest need" The
proclamation, prepared before the Presi-
dent departed for Europe. follows;
To the American People:
One year ago 100000 Americans
by enrolling as members of the Red Cross
at Christmas time, sent to the men who
were fighting our battles overseas stimu-
lating message of cheer and good will
They made it clear that our people were
of their free choice united with their Gov
eminent in the determination not only to
wage war with the instruments Of destruc-
ton. but also by every means in their
power to repay the ravages of the invader
and sustain and renew the spirit of the
army and of the homes which they repre-
scented. Friends of the American Red Cross
in Italy, Belgium. and France have told
and will tell again, the story Of how the
Red Cross workers restored morale in the
hospitals. in the camps, and at the canton
ments, and we ought to be very proud that
we have been permitted to be of service
to those whose sufferings and whose glory
are the heritage of humanity.
Now. by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1918. is to be a
message of peace as well as a message of
good will. But peace does not mean that
we can fold our hands. II means further
sacrifice. We must prove conclusively to
an attentive world that America is per-
manently aroused to the needs Of the new
era, our old indifference gone forever.
The exact nature of the future service
of the Red Cross will depend upon the
program of the associated governments,
but there is immediate need today for
every heartening word and for every help
full service. We must not forget that our
soldiers and sailors are still under orders
and still have duties to perform Of the
highest consequences and that the Red
Cross Christmas membership means great
deal to them. The people Of the saddened
lands, moreover, returning home today
where there are no homes, must have the
assurance that the hearts of our people
are with them in the dark and doubtful
days ahead, Let us. so far as we can, help
them back to faith in mercy and in future
happiness
AS president of the Red Cross, conscious
in this great hour of the value Of such
message from the American people, Ishould
be glad if every American would join the
Red Cross for 1919, and thus send fortfto
the whole human family the Christmas
greeting for which it waits and for which
it stands in greatest need.

HOrse-Drawn Vehicles To Bear
Metal Tags.

Strict enforcement Of the police reeula-
ton requiring all horse-drawn vehicles to
be equipped with metal tags will begin
Wednesday morning. Several years ago
Police Court judge held tlfe regulation
void. Since that time the police have
made no effort to enforce 1t.
There was no appeal to a higher court
from that decision. 1t is the opinion Of
the Commissioners that the regulation is
perfectly legal and should be enforced.
The metal tags cost so cents each and
are obtainable at the office Of the permit
clerk in the District building.
Major Pullman this morning issued an
order to the police force directing the en-
forcement Of the regulation. and provided
each policeman with a copy Of the law. -
