In accordance with orders from the National Red Cross all Surgical Dressings Stations of Red Cross Chapters are closed The Jackson County Chapter announces compil- ance with this order and takes this opportunity of expressing apprecla- ton of the faithful workers in that branch of the Red Cross war servlce.
 This closing order does not affect other branches of Chapter work. Mrs. Scarborough has material for 1s sweaters which she has reserved for town knitters. She has no appll- cations for it. As this is to fill a quota, failure to fill it puts this Chapter, and with it the Southwest Division on the Black List, as all orders are considered commands and must be obeyed.

ROAD : BVDIL. DING
GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAG
Implement Should Be Used Properly st Right Time-Repair All Ruts and
 Expressions.

After two days of rain, says writer in Hoard's Dairyman, we took an eight-mile drive out into the country to buy some pigs. One piece of road was like a city boulevard, only better. Despite it's being only gravel road there was little mud or water, and one would have thought that there had been only rain enough to settle the dust instead of the big rainstorm. We inquired and found that two neighbors had made it a practice to alternate in going over this road with road drag after every rain. Just beyond, we came 70 a piece of road muddy, slippery and full of chuck holes that sent us up a mile for every mile covered.
 The only difference between these two pieces of road was arroad drag and an hours time spent when field work could not be done. We estimate that it took twice as much gasoline to cover the undragged road. Multiply cur experience by the dozens of teams and autos going over this muddy road, and then compute the expense of fail ure to use the road drag that was doubtless rotting away in some fence corner.
 We do not now have in mind the de mands of the goud-roads extremist, but are considering what may be done and what should be done with the common dirt road. It does more harm than good. as a general rule, to blow up the sod on the sides of the travelled track and pile it up in big Jumps in the cen ter of the track, leaving them there to be broken up by passing vehicles, and the loosened dirt washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Keep all the sod, grass roots and other

 Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. No part of re- paired highway should be left until it's surface has been thoroughly and even- ly compacted and shaped to let all the water run off. And when, as will most always happen, ruts and depressions make their appearance, they should be smoothed down, filled, and well com pacted so that water may not remain iE them to soften the ground and per init further damage by the traffic.
 When using the road drag, use it properly at the right time. Don't go out when the road is too wet or too dry. Take it when the mud will make a good mortar and will puddle down like the little girls mud cakes or the mason's mortar.

THE INLUENZA SITUATION.

The Board of Health has issued explicit orders that should be obeyed. It is the bounden duty of those with authority to enforce these orders to do their duty. If they are not obey ed and enforced, it then will become necessary for the board of health to issue complete quarantine regula- tions.
 No one must believe that the New port Board of Health is without au- thority to issue regulations that are law in themselves, because the stat utes give the board such authority.
 Health is the most important thing in life. Every man, woman and child should everywhere realize this. First they ought to take sane and adequate measures to safeguard their own health, and next the health of every one else should be considered. When one has influenza the place for that person is at home, and not upon the streets or in public places where others might become endangered.
 
 One sure way to distribute influ- enza germs is to join crowds. An other certain manner is through ex- pectorating on the sidewalk. In the first place personal decency should keep one from splitting upon side walks or upon floors, and in the next place proper regard for the law should forestall this practice, for it is both against the law of decency and state law to spit upon sidewalks or in public places.
 Let every citizen cooperate in pre-. venting further spread of influenza Realize the dreadfulness of the dis ease, think of your own safety an1 to their own health and that oi others.
 The board of health has issued regulation prohibiting the gathering of crowds in Newport next Satur day. This order will be difficult t' enforce unless the people through out the county who come to Newpor on Saturdays are carefully and sys tematically notified beforehand wh! the order is issued and the impor

"KING OF DREDGERS"
is CRITICALLY ILL
Capt. James H. West. Master of pungy
Ellen and Alice Unconscious
Stricken In Station.

q Capt. james II. West, 81 years of
age, of 1908 South Charles street
Baltimore, master of the oyster-pungy
Ellen and Alice, and known all over
his section of the oyster world as the
King of Dredgers, is unconscious at
the Emergency Hospital. Captain
West on Tuesday was stricken with
paralysis at the Short Line station
while waiting for bus to take him to
Solomon's Island. His son and daugh-
ter are with him, and it is not believ-
ed he will recover. His condition to-
day is reported unchanged.
Captain Jimmy" as he is known
along the water front, has been
'froze up" for some time with
cargo of oysters in the Patuxent, OPP
posite Solomons Island. On Saturday
his cargo was taken to Baltimore
iceboats. He left on train for An.
napolis to return to his craft, and was
waiting for motor bus when he was
stricken i'll.
1.-THE King of Dredgers" earned his
title among the oystermen of the
Chesapeake because of his remarkable
memory. He always appeared to be
able to diagnose with remarkable sue
cess fertile patches about the Bay and,
knowing the depth of water, he was
able to so adjust his lines so that his
crew was always able to haul in the
finest collection of bivalves to be
found in the Bay. In the summer
months the Anne Arundel farmers de-
pended upon him to freight their pro-
duce to Baltimore and should he fail to
recover they will surely mourn his
loss.
He is a member of the Masonic Fra
ternity, Junior Order American Me-
chsnics, knights of Pythias and Odd
Fellows.

THE EVIDENT INCREASE IN
CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR
Per Capita Consumption in u. S. For
1917 Was SIS. 3 Pounds

Per capita consumption of sugar in
the United States in 1917 apparently
was about SS,3 pounds, an increase of
nearly four pounds over the average
for the five-year period ending in 1916,
the Department of Agriculture an
nounced in making public final figures
on the survey of sugar stocks in the
country as of last August 81
The inquiry did not include the last
part of the year, when there was
sugar shortage.
The evident increase in consump-
tion,' said the Department, lis due in
part to the increased manufacture for
export of commodities like condensed
milk and TO an increase in population,
coupled with an increased consump-
tion by individuals and TO an increase
in consumers stocks
The sugar survey was the first of
the war emergency food surveys to be
completed by the department.

SENATOR MITCHELL PUTS
IN AN ELECTION Bl, L
Measure Would Do Away With The
Extra Ballots, and is Expected to
Meet Opposition From Poll
ticianS,

A bill of more than usual interest TO
Anne Arundel County was introduced
in the Senate this week by Senator
Mitchell, OF Charles County This is
a measure to'do away with the bundle
of extra ballots heretofore issued to
the deputy sheriffs for each polling
place The charge has many times
been made that in some of the alleged
corrupt schemes perpertrated in Anne
Arundel, the extra ballots have played
an important part.
Senator Mitchell frankly stated his
bill would go a long way toward
breaking up election corruption
through doing away with the extra
bundle of ballots always given out the
night before election and taken in
charge by a deputy sheriff in the
counties or "A policeman in the city
precincts
These extra bundles OF ballots, sup
posedly issued in case the other set,
issued to the judges of election at
the same time, should be lost or de-
stroyed accidentally or by design, or
should be exhausted during voting
have not. so far as any case is re-
corded. ever been called into use At
the same time it has been charged
more than once that they were used
corruptly in some OF the more boldly
conducted precincts OF the State
To, in a measure meet the expected
claims Of the politicians that excess
ballots are needed, Senator Mitchell
provided in his bill that, instead of the
allotment of tickets for each precinct
being on the basis of 100 for each 100
or fractional part of 100 registered
voters per precinct. there shall be
given out TO the polling house officials
125 ballots for every 100 or fractional
part OF 100 voters.
Another point advanced by Sena-
tor Mitchell in favor of his bill is that
of economy. both in printing and fold
ing, as well as in the consumption of
paper
That the bill will produce an i'm
mediate howl from those who have
been particularly welded to the i'm
portance of the extra" ballot issu-
ance is assured.
