BOLSEHVIKI ADOPT CUBIST
STYLE sOF DECORATION

London, May 17.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press).-The Boil
sheviki have adopted the cubist style
of decoration for Russian cities in cell
ebrating the revolutionary feast days.
The whole city of Petrograd was dec
Grated in this bizarre fashion for the
celebration of May Day. Thousands
of cubist posters draped with revolu-
tionary red bunting ornamentcd the
walls of palaces and government
buildings. Describing the scene the
Pctrograd correspondent of the Morn
ing Post writes:
"Petrograd for May Day was turned
into a huge village fair. The ambi-
tious plans for hiding under red dra-
peries and hideous cubist canvasses
all the visible symbols of those things
that made the greatness of once great
Russia were curtailcd by shortage of
rod material by inability to compel a
sufficiency of skilled labor, or by the
desire Of everybody concerned to think
secondarily of public objects.
"At any rate, the great palaces and
monuments, the works Of art of many
generations. were neither hidden nor
disguised, but merely disfgurcd.

en- billboards erected about the Palace

"May Day is, according to beliefs

MADE.IN-GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in- Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceiyed from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks Of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige OF
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
Nor have they come to life casually
They have started simultaneously II
different parts of the country and IL
each instance have been calculated tC
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the wort
| of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectiVel!
to cooperate in work which is goini
to mean more than the majority o.
people yet realize"

To Control Racing in the County

A commission to regulate horse rae
ing in Prince Georges county IS pro
nosed in a bill introduced in the House
of Delegates last week by Delegate W.
T.Davis. Under the bills provision the
Racing Commission would be composed
of Messrs. Robert L. Hall, James B.
Belt and W. Bladen Jackson, then
term to be four years with authority
70 appoint their successors or to hi
vacancies.
The reasonable expenses of the com
missioners, including the employment
of a secretary, are to be paid such ex
nenses not to exceed $1,000 year bu
no salary is provided for the commits
sioners. The bill provides that there
shall be no racing in the months OF De
cember, January, February or Marci
and that there shall not be more tnai
40 days in a year in the aggregate ii
the county; and that no one track sha'
have more than 80 days of racing which
may be divided into two meets OF Ii
days each.
There would be no appeal from tht
commissions action in licensing or re
fusing to license any race meet. ln'
fee to be paid by any track is fixed al
$500 day, to be paid to the commits
sioners of the county for the building
and maintenance of roads.

You soldier boys in foreign land,
Away from country, kindred, home;

To those whose loved ones hold them
dear,
10 those who have no one on earth t.
care;
And ask of God in suppliant prayer
To bless and help you "over there.
often think in my comfort here
OF the shlvering forms in the trenches
there,
Mid volumed smoke, mid shout and:
groan,
And the sinister sound of the canon's
moan, 49,.
Where the battle pours its awful tide,
Where you noble sons, your mothers
pride,
Must fight and die on foreign land,
Unsoothed by sweet Affections hand.
Forget not boys that mothers cry, ;,
Good bless and keep you, and good bye, y
Show God and her amid this strife,
A man can keep holy life.
Wear virtues armor to the hgnt,
Keen clean your hearts from stain and
blight,
Ere tempting world make faint and cold
The Christian purpose in your soul.
Make PRAYER your one magnetic guide
To open the gates OF Heaven wide;
Kneel down beside your comrades there
And strengthen the perilous hour with
prayer.
Ascend with yours to distant skies
To Heaven. and find acceptance there
To bless and help you lover there"

to the country at large and the com
| munity in particular by cuttieg all of
the wood needed for individual use and
an additional amount for those who
have no woodland of their own but who
will be dependent upon wood for fuel.
Every cord of wood that is cut anu
used in place of coal means the saving
of one-half to one ton of coal. A rare
opportunity is presented to the wood
land owner in that he may not only cut
wood from his woodlands and sell it at
a good profit, but the cutting, if wisely
done, will be real improvement to his
property. To realize the greatest ben
eft. the owner should limit the cutting
to undesirable or weed" trees and save
such as have present or prospective
timber value.
IL determin ing how much wood will
be required to take the place OF coal, it
can be said that two pounds of well
seasoned wood is equivalent to one
pound of coal. cord Of seasoned
hickory, weighing a little over 1000
pounds is equivalent in fuel value to a
ton of coal A cord of oak is nearly as
good; while it takes two cords of chest
nut wood to equal ton of coal Pine
wood is between the two extremes, one
cord being eqnal to about two irds f
ton of coal.
1t takes wood several months to prop
erly season. and now is the time to cut
1T before farm work is pressing.
Some immediate relief for towns and
suburban sections can be furnished by
cutting and delivering ar once dead
wood, such as blight-killed chestnut,
which is practically in a seasoned cor
dition. suitable for use. The removal of
such material from the woodland is
beneficial and will often return good
profit. The County Agents, Forest
Wardeus, Masters of Oranges and the
County Fuel Committees of the Fuel
Administration are enlisted in this
movement to increase the production of
wood as a substitute for coal. The,
are in position to give information
and helpful co operation to those inter
ested. "Burn wood and save coal for
the war industries.

The State Fuel Administration make

can use wood, will be expected to pro-
vide 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 families living
in wooded sections, often having wood
going to waste on the farm. who are
using coal as the more convenient fuel
for heating. This might be safely con
tinued in normal times but we are at
war. We are actually suffering a coal
shortage. How long this will last is
uncertain-next winter threatens to be
even more serious unless substitute
for coal in large quantities is provided
There has been tremendous expansion
of industries. necessary to the prosecu
ton 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, because it can
not be had. Distance from wood sup
plies Imposing difficulties in transpor
tation and distribution makes it prohib-
tive. On the other hand, there are
large numbers of people living in the
small towns and subu! ban communities
who are sufficiently near woodlands to
use wood without serious hardship. If
these people together with the farmers
having their own Woodlots, many of
whom burn coal, would stop buying C BAL
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 ex-
tent of those suffered by people in cities
today who can get neither coal nor wood.
The appeal comes with particular
force to the owners of woodland, wheth-
err in woodots or timber tracts. There

Garden Seal.

During the past two years the rapld
increase in price of all food materials
caused a nation wide awakened inter
est in food production. Those living
on farms and in rural communities
were urged to increase the paintings of
their vegetable crops. City and sub
urban residents endeavored to contrib
ute to the food supply by growing
vegetables in their backyards and on
vacant lots.
On account of existing war conditions
there will be this year an even greater
demand for the home production OF
food supplies. The first move to make
in meeting this demand will be the
securing of an adequate supply of seed.
Every indication seems to point to
sharp advance in the price Of most
garden seed, particularly the more
staple vegetables. This may prove
somewhat discouraging to those who
contemplate increasing their efforts
during the coming season.
Very probably there were more seeds
purchased last year than were planted
MANY of these are still on hand but the
amateur gardener may hesitate to use
them, fearing that they will not be
good from one season to the next. Be
fore placing your order for this season,
make a careful inventory of the seeds
you have on hand and compare them
with the following table showing the
longevity of seeds, or length of time
seeds may be expected to retain their
Wit atty. This table is compiled from
