Sodium Nitrate.

In view of the fact that the Gov
ernment has bought nitrate and pro-
poses to distribute it at cost to the
American farmer the question natur-
ally arises as to what this nitrate
should be used for and how much.
Nitrate IN this County should be
used for the following things and
should not be used for our ordinary
crops unless it be used to make a
complete fertilizer or one contain
ing Ammonia and Phosphate which
light we'll be- used ON tobacco or
other clops which bring in an equiv
alent amount to the acre of cash.
1t might be used for truck growing,
on tobacco beds and in view of the
present wheat shortage to help the
backward growth in the spring. If
you have need for nitrate for these
purposes you should see the County
Agent, Cohen Bros, Wallace Hard
ware Company or The Bremen Mer-
camille Co., to let them give you an
application blank which must be
filled out before February 4.
This Nitrate will cost $3.50 at
Baltimore, Md. and the farmer must
pay the freight and Tag Fee. 1t
contains the equivalent of Is per cent
ammonia. Granting that 1t costs
500 per ton delivered (Which it will
hardly do) it will cost $3.50 per
hundred or Is cents per unit of am
monia. You will also notice that II
is just 9 times as strong or contains
9 times as much plant food as a
per cent fertilizer. Hence when i,
is used you need only to use 10 as
much to get the same results. Fol
further information see the County
Agent.

May Follow Lead of Railroads.

One by one the great industries
of the country are approaching the
advantage of unity of action; in fact
the necessity Of it, if we are to win
this war;, The Central Powers have
reduced every operation to the very
finest degree, and they have there
fore been able to pull the whole
world to more economic measures.
Our people are as patriotic as any
people on earth, and as they realize
the call, respond readily. Hundreds
of individual plants have been turn
ed over to the Government, the
railroads have sought and received
aid, and finally all our public utlli-
ties and resources will be brought
under public control. With all the
efforts of the operators, the coal
situation is a serious one, with no
real relief IN sight tor months, 1t IS
said. The coal industry is planning
to turn its holdings over to the
Government, as the best means to
speed production and distribution.
The Government can conhne the
output to zones near the source of
production, thus saving much of its
transportation facilities for fields far
from the coal fields. Millions of
dollars canbe saved in management
operation and distribution just as is
being done with the railroads, to the
benefit of the whole nation.

The Truth From France.

A few persons whose days appar-
emily are devoted largely to worry
Ing about something conceived the
idea recently that American soldiers
in France were leading riotous lives.
Their outspoken horror at the men
tai pictures drawn by themselves of
khaki clad young men reellng about
the French countryside in various
stages of drunkness and otherwise
making sorry spectacles of them
selves produced anxiety In the minds
of many persons not addicted to
suspecting others of evil.
There was no foundation for these
suspicious. However, it has required
a special word from Gen. Pershing
to undo the evil work Of imaginative
busybodies. The American COM
mander cables to the secretary OF
war that similar body OF men never
led cleaner lives than do the Ameri-
can soldiers in France and that they
are extremely busy learning the art
of war and incidently building up
their physiques like athletics in
training. Incidently, also, they are
forbidden the use Of strong drink,
according to their general. So, adds
Gen. Pershing, uAmerican mothers
may rest assured that their sons are
a credit to them and to the nation {"
In view of this presentation of the
simple facts any further gra uitous
tales of assumed misconduct on the
part of American soldiers in France
should be regarded as German pro-
paganda and treated With the con-
tempt that they deserve.

MnhIenburgerS Are Patriots.

Last Monday was truly fuel con-

was pretty generally recognized
throughout the county. In the larg-
er towns the business houses rellg-
lously observed the Garfield order to
close and in many respects the day
bore more the appearance of an
ideally observed Sabbath than a
weekday response to prayer of
evidence Of true patriotism. County

Victrola dominance is greater to-

The Cabinet and the Constitution.
