on sugar conservation, giving many
reasons for the conservation of sugar
and the substitutes that may be used in

The proposed amendment to the
Constitution of Maryland, giving absent
soldiers and sailors the right to vote IN

That it will be adopted by very large

at the November election is beyond the
shadow of a doubt. 1t is right and
proper that the Nations defenders be
given the franchise while absent per-
forming a duty that will rebound to
their credit for generations to come.
