Shallow Heroes.

This is no time for hunting up the
made-for-the-occasion hero. That self
exalting, keep-your-eye-on-me individ-
nal is extremely busy calling attention
to personal merits. In the swirl OF
common-places you would never see
them if they were not thrust before
your eyes. But he keeps you posted.
With half a chance he'll talk you into
oblivion with hero tales of his own ex-
ploits. He carries his worth on the
surface and when you have looked him
oyer you have seen all there's to him.
Heroes of the tin-soldier type are
members of his class. You can tell
them by the rattle of their wares
which they always carry around Tor
exhibition purposes.-Exchange.

ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF STATE TEACHERS
Will BE Held In Baltimore Nov
ember GO and 80 At West
ern High School
EXPECT A LARGE CROWD

II has been announced that the
Maryland State Teachers Association
will be held in Baltimore on Friday
and Saturday, November 30 and 80.
This will be the second time the teach
ers have met in Baltimore and the
session held last winter was attended
by something like 1000 teachers
from all over the State, there is ev-
cry reason to expect that equally as
many will go TO that city next month.
The meeting, originally was to have
been held in the administration build
ing at Ocean City, but due TO certain
complications brought about by the
calling off of the Tri-county Institute
of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset
counties, it was decided to hold its
sessions in Baltimore the same as last
year. The date selected for the meet
ing is during Thanksgiving week, and
as Friday following Thanksgiving day
is a holiday, the attendance upon the
part of the teachers will be voluntary.
Last year the meeting was held on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
Thanksgiving week, the State schools
being closed for the entire week, this,
however, caused some adverse crit
icism, as many of the teachers pre-
ferred being at their homes during
the holidays.
Arrangements have been made for
holding the sessions in the Western
High school and the school board of
Baltimore has been asked to grant the
use of that building

HARDWARE CLERKS
GOOD FARM HANDS
Already Accustomed to Machinery
and Hard Work. They Learn to
Make themselves Useful

Hardware dealers and clerks make
good farm hands. This top to the
farmer in search of help in furnished
by the farm division of the United
States Employment Service. The man
who works in hardware store knows
more about farm machinery, from
hoe to a tractor, than anybody else
the farmer can get hold of if he has
to hunt for unskilled labor. The hard
ware man generally has worked long
hours. He is used to dirty hands and
work clothes. He probably has come
muscle, because he is used to hand
ling heavy things. If he is one of the
millions of town and city men who
grew up on a farm he already knows
something about crops and stock. The
most important thing to be done to
make him good farm hand, reports
from different localities show, is to
convince him that his country needs
him on the farm as his war services.

according to HoyIe."

OF the celebrated writer of treatises
on games Of chance, little is known
save that he appears to have been born
In 1862, and died in Cavendish square.
London, August 20, 1859. He wrote on
whist, piquet, Quadrille and backgam-
mon, and his name became so familiar
as to be immortalized In the we'll
known proverb, According to Hoyle."
He was a barrister by profession. and
was at one time register to the prerog-
alive court. His treatise on whist,
for which he received 1000 pounds
sterling, was published In 1743. and
gained such popularity as to run
through five editions In one year. He
has even been called the inventor Of
the game, but this is mistake, though
we are indebted to him for introduc-
ing it to the public In scientific man.

WAR STOPS GET

Gambling Devices Keep Men Away
From Work. so Pittsburgh
Takes Drastic Measures

"Get-rich-quick" gambling may be
the next form of popular amusement
TO receive its cath blow as a result of
the wars demand.
In the Turtle Greek valley. near
Pittsburg. gambling devices have en-
ticed men away from work, and a
strong campaign has been started to
put an nd 10 the operations of the
gamblers.
In a raid on a poolroom in East
Pittsburgh. the police found twenty
youths playing slot machines TO the
that many men have been enticed into
such places in the noon hour and
have remained there during the af-

BUSY GREEK PEASANT GIRL
Care Of Sheep and Goats, and House
hold Duties, Leave Her Little
Time for DaIlyino.

To the Greek peasant girl Is COM
mitted the care of her fathers flock,
which she must lead every day TO the
pasture and fold at night. The voslzo-
poula. or shepherdess, is one of the
most prominent characters in rural
folk song, and many a charming idyl
has been composed in her honor. =.
But she has little time for sylvan dali
lying, for the sheep and goats must be
MIXED, and the milk must be convert
ed into cheese and yiaouru, delicious
and wholesome sour curd, which is in
great demand In the towns. When the
sheep have been shorn, the wool is
bleached and spun, and then knitted
and woven into garments for the fam
fly or into cloth for sale. The cotton
or fax grown on the farm must also
be gathered in their seasons, and pre-
pared for use. The cotton pods are
put through a small hand machine
called the mangano, which turns two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The instru-
ment next used is the toxevein. large
bow made from a curved piece of
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends OF which are connected by stout
string. The cotton is placed loosely
on the string, which is made to vibrate
by being struck with a stick, produc-
ing not unmusical sound. This proc
ess detaches the particles of cotton,
and it is now ready to use as wad-
ding for the large quilts, which, with
a sheet tackled to the under side, form
all the winter bed covering used by
the lower orders of natives of every
race. The mattresses are also usually
stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses
with the husks of Indian corn.

TO CONSERVE
CATTLE FEEDING HERE
To Aid Herds OF Allies Strong Appeal
To Farmers

Farmers of New York State are APP
pealed to for conservation of all feed
ing products TO help supply the herds
of our Allies and at the same time
maintain growing conditions in this
country. in a statement given out yes
terday by the New York branch OF the
Federal Food Administration. IL is
pointed out in the appeal that the Uni
ted States will supply the larger part
OF the grain required for the dairy
herds of the Allies during the next II
months Furthermore. the statement
adds, there is danger of our own dairy
production in the congested Eastern
areas. falling short of actual require
ments unless there is wholehearted
response TO this appeal for conserya-
ton.
The Food Administration places all
bpyers of wheat mill feeds on thecT
honGr not to use such feeds other than
for the feeding of dairy cattle, poul-
try. young pigs and calves, or for
the preparation of a weekly bran
mash for work animals Mills and
feed dealers have been instructed to-
secure from buyers a pledge to this
effect The Food Administration is
also requiring the millers and feed
jobbers TO distribute their wheat mill
I feeds. in shch manner that each State
receives the same proportion of the
mills or jobbers' shipments as il re-
ceived in the same quarter in 1917,
The following is the pledge TO buy
ers of wheat mill feeds are asked to
sign:
I'm order TO assist the Food Admin
istration in the distribution of mill
feeds. hereby undertake on honor not
TO use wheat mill feeds for any other
purpose than the feeding of dairy cat
tie. poultry. young pigs or young
calves. or the preparation of a weekly
bran mash for work animals I will
not feed any more wheat mill feeds
than is customarily fed TO such ami
mails. and / further agree not to have
at any one time more than a 60-day
supply of wheat feed on hand"
Reasons for the conservation of the
anuimal feed stuffs are set forth by
the Federal Food Board, which says
the necessity has arisen owing to the
extension of that drought area, the
shortening of the corn crop, the larger
animal production I'm the country. and
the Allied demands upon us for feed
ing stuffs for their own animals, be-
cause of their own shortage in pro-
ductiono of feed grains"
1t is necessary that we should exert
every effort in the proper conservation
of feeding during the next IL months,
yet we must maintain our own animal
/ production.
The statement concludes by saying
the United States must ship a larger
proportion of wheat as compared with
! flour during the last IL months TO the
Allied countries, because their own
shortage of feeding stuffs is such that
] if they are to keep alive their dairy
herds they must have a larger supply
of grain wheat.-New York Sun
