A Duty And An Opportunity.
SOY BEANS.
A Cheap and Nourishing Food.

Soy beans, introduced into the
United States more than hundred
years ago primarily for use as a
forage crop are, in reality one of the
most nutritious Of the legumes when
asod as human food, according to
specialists of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. These beans have been
';sed for centuries as staple article
Of diet in China and Japan and are
coming to be used more generally in
this country as consumers learn their
food value and palatability. Since
they furnish protein which contains
nitrogen for muscle building, and
valuable fat, they are especially i'm
portaDt to turn to as an emergency
addition to the usual dietary or as
substitutes for other foods furnish
ing protein and fat. Moreover, the
fact that they contain no starch
makes them valuable for invalids
who cannot eat starchy foods. These
beans may he grown easily in practi-
cally all sections of the country
where corn is grown and give heavier
yield than most other beans.

The State Fuel Administration
makes the announcement that the
present coal shortage in all probable
ity will continue through next win
ter. There simply isn't enough coal
to go around, SO some must go with
out Naturally those who have wood
supplies near at hand, and can use
wood, will be expected to provide
themselves with wood fuel, thereby
saving coal that they ordinarily
would use, in order to supply the
maximum to our industries and to
the people of the cities who cannot
use wood.
There are today many fcmilies liv-
ing in wooded sections, often having
wood going to waste on the farm,
rho are using coal as the more con
yenient fuel for heating. This might
he safely continued in normal times,
but we are at war. We are actually
suffering coal shortage. How long
this will last is uncertain-next win
ter threatens to be even more serious
unless a substitute for coal in large
quantities is provided. There has
been a tremendous expansion of in
dustries, necessary to the prosecution
of the war, and these must be sup
piled, with coal. In Baltimore and
in some of the larger towns of the
State there are many thousands of
families which cannot use wood, be-
cause it cannot be had. Distance
from wood supplies imposing diff
culties in transportation and distri-
button makes it prohibitive. On the
other hand, there are large numbers
Of people living in the small towns
and suburban communities who are
sufficiently near woodlands to use
wood without serious hardship. If
these people together with the farm
ers having their own woodlots, many
of whom burn coal, would stop buy
ing coal and burn wood, the saving
would be great enough to supply the
present shortage. This means some
hardships to the small towns, but
not to the extent Of those suffered
by people in cities today who can get
neither coal nor wood.
A Duty And An Opportunity.
The appeal comes with particular
force to the owners of woodland,
whether in woodlots OF timber tracts.
There is presented at once duty
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1918-02-15

and an opportunity. A service can
be rendered to the country at large
and the community in particular by
cutting all of the wood needed for
individual use and an additional
amount for those who have no wood
land of their own but who will be
dependent upon wood for fuel.
Every cord of wood that is cut and
used in place of coal means the saw
ing of one-half to one ton Of coal. A
rare opportunity is presented to the
woodland owner in that he may not
only cut wood from his woodland
end sell it at good profit, but thu
cutting, if wisely done, will be a real,
Improvement to his property. To
realize the greatest benefit, the own
or should limit the cutting to undc-
sirable or tweed" trees and save
such as have present or prospective
timber value.
In determining how much wood
will be required to take the place of
coal, it can be said that two pounds
of we'll seasoned wood is equivalent
to one pound of coal. A cord OF
seasoned hickory, Weighing little
over 1000 pounds is equivalent in
fuel value to ton of coal. A cord Of
oak is nearly as good; while it takes
two cords Of chestnut wood to equal
a ton Of coal. Pine wood is between
the two extremes, one cord being
equal to about two-thirds of ton of
coal.
1t takes wood several months TO
properly season, and now is the time
to cut it before farm work is press
ing.
Some immediate relief for towns
and suburban sections can be fur
nished by cutting and delivering at
once dead wood, such as blight-kllle1
chestnut, which is practically in a.
seasoned condition suitable for use.
The removal of such material from
the woodland is beneficial and will
often return good profit. The
County Agents, Forest Wardens,
Masters of Oranges, and the County
Fuel Committees of the Fuel Admin
istration are enlisted in this move
ment to increase the production of
wood as substitute for COAL They
are in a position to give information
and helpful cooperation to those in
terested. Burn wood and save coal
for the war industries

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
urges the purchasers of Liberty Loan
Bonds of both the First and Second
issues to hold fast to their bonds.
They are the best investment in the
world. :.
The Secretary's statement was
called forth by the fact that Liberey
Bond holders are being approached
from time to time by agents seeking
to induce them to part with their
Liberty Loan Bonds and take in ex-
change securities which in number
of cases are Of a very questionable
value, and was prompted by the de-
sire to protect the bondholders
against ill-advised disposition OF
their bonds.
The Secretary expresses the hope
that every purchaser of a Liberty
Bond will realize that the only
genuine help that he gives his Gov
eminent is keeping his bond as an
investment so long as it is possible
for him to do so. He states, however,
that no just objection lies to the sale
of Liberty Bond where real neces-
sity exists for it's sale.

To Take 1917 Lumber Census.

A census of the lumber production
Of the country during 1917 is to be
made by the Forest Service in CO.
operation with the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, as in
past years. Questionnaires have al
ready been mailed to the 10000
sawmills throughout the country
asking that the amount of each kind
of lumber cut be reported promptly.
1t is pointed out by officials of the
Forest Service that the lumber CELL
sus is of particular Importance at
this time, because Of the large
quantities of special material needed
for the conduct of the war. Several
of the Government Departments,
they say, depend upon the Forest
Service for data and technical advice
on subjects connected with lumber.
Since the entry of the United States
into the war, this demand has been
greatly increased. In many cases
the information gathered by the For
est Service in previous years has
made it possible to determine at
once where certain classes of ma
terial could be obtained in the
largest quantities and consequently
has enabled the Government to get
in direct touch with the proper mills
without loss of time.
Because of unsettled conditions in
the lumber trade in 1917. II has been
somewhat difficult to judge the cur
rent production. Heavy calls for
lumber made by the Government
have been partially Offset by trans
portation difficulties and scarcity of
labor. Officials say that it will re-
quire careful census to determine
whether the output was more or less
than preceding years. They point
out at the same time that the lum-
her manufacturers can aid the work
materially by filing out and return
ing promptly the missionaries that
have been sent them.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1918.

The lines are tightening on old
John Barleycorn in Maryland, as
the House of Delegates on Thurs
day last Joined the Senate in
giving a majority vote in favor OF
the ratification Of the Prohibition
Amendment to the Federal Constl-
tuition. The vote stood So to AZ.
The vote reveals the fact that
Cecil, which is dry county, and has
been for years, has two delegates in
the House-John Anderson and
Frederick H. Leff1er,-who repre-
sented their county and voted for
the temperance measure. The other
member of the Cecil delegation,
George A. Atkinson, represented the
whiskey interests, which have been
outlawed from our county, and voted
against the temperance measure.
1t would be well for the voters lof
Cecil county to remember the stand
taken by Mr.. Atkinson on the
whiskey question, and If he at any
future time seeks legislative honors
at the hands of the people let the
whiskey crowd elect him,-if they
can.
There were of the rs votes in the
nine counties on Eastern Shore
but two on the whiskey side--Dean,
of Dorchester, Republican, and
Atkinson, of Cecil, Democrat.

VETS Accomplished Their Own De-
feat, Rev. DIR. Heisse Declares.


feat, Rev. DIR. Heisse Declares.
voicing the jubilation of the pro-
hibition forces of Maryland over
their sweeping victory at Annapolis.
Rev. DR.. j. F. Heisse, president of
the Anti-Saloon League declared
that the liquor interests were in
large measure responsible fer their
own defeat.
"You can always depend upon the
vets making fools of themselves,
DR.. Heisse said. while we would
have won out at Annapolis anyway,
the coming of Congressman Meeker,
who was employed by the liquor in
terests, FASTENED the victory. His
sacrilegious address drew the line
sharply between the church as an in-
stitution and the saloon as an insti-
tuition. His blasphemous defense Of
the saloon helped us nightly to win
the battle.
1.-THE address OF William Jennings
Bryan, in which he tore to shreds the
superficial arguments of William l..
Marbury, was strong factor in our
success. / was present at Annapolis
when it was stated on the floor of the
House of Delegates that Mr. Bryan
had been paid $500 by the Anti
Saloon League for his address.
81 wish to deny this emphatically.
The fact is Mr.. Bryan was not paid a
cent. He would not even accept
money to pay his railway expenses.
Concerning the attitude of Car
dinal Gibbons, wish to state that
Chief Justice White of the Supreme
Court, the greatest Roman Catholic
layman in the country, in his de-
cision on the Webb-Kenyon bill, ut
terly dissents from the position taken
by the Cardinal. The victory at An
napolis is a complete answer to Car
dinal Gibbons
/ DR.. Heisse has been fighting for
years for the dry cause and the drys
attribute much Of the success to him.
In discussing the situation, how
ever, DR.. Heisse paid strong tribute
to the leaders in the dry movement,
including G. W. Crabbe, superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League;
Daniel Baker, Henry S. Dulaney,
William F. Cochran, the late Jona-
than K. Taylor and others, stating
that without their aid the fight
would not have been won.

Thursday, February Ia, when the
Dry Federation of Pennsylvania
held it's state convention. Delegates
from all over the state representing
all political parties and all elements
interested in the fight against booze
attended. Among the matters which
the convention considered was the
manner IN which the candidates will
be selected and supported for the
state legislature in the May pri-
maries, who the drys shall support
for governor, how the dry elements
in the old line parties will be am
algamated into the campaign for

About CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements Of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples
and bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment OF the bowels. When the
bowels are badly censtipated, how
ever, the sure way is to take one or
two of Chamberiain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper.

Billions Increase In Crop Values

Billions Increase In Crop Values.
The value of farm products of the
United States for the year 1917
reach the tremendous and unpre-
cedented sum of $19,443,S49.000, an
increase of more than six billion
over the values of 1916 and almost
nine billion more than 1915.
The Department of Agriculture
has just issued a preliminary estl-
mate for last year showing crop
values of $13,61O,46S,000, repre-
senting 20 per cent of the value Oh
all farm products for the year, and
$5,833,3S6,000, the value of animals
and animal products of our farms.
BY far the greatest and best GUS
toners of the farmers of the country
now are the United States and our
Allies. The money used by all OF
these Governments in purchasing the
products of American farms is raised
by the sale of Liberty Bonds. Part
is spent by the United States itself
and part loaned to our Allies. In
lending to the United States, there
fore, the American farmer is simply
enabling its best customers to pur-
chase his products and receiving In
return the best security in the world.
Good business as well as patriotism
urges the farmers of America to
literally support the financial under
takings OF the Government.
