Red Cross Membership Fund.

To the Citizens of the Safe of Maryland:
feel that if permitted the Christmas
season to pass without making a direct
appeal to you in behalf of the Red Cross
Membership Fund would be neglecting
one of the most sacred duties incumbent
upon me as Chief Executive of this State.
Everyone has noted with something
more than affectionate approval the work
of this wonderful organization. speak
not only of its war activities. but of the
tremendous amount of labor, helpfulness
thought and time given to the immediate
needs of those in adversely at home. The
present Roll Call, as you all know, is to
insure that this great work shall be per-
petuated. In its broadcast sense it stands
for the highest ideals Of humanity. II has
carried the message Of the American peo-
pie and the doctrines Of genuine Chris
tianity, good will, loving kindness and
divine charity to the uttermost ends of
the earth.
In becoming a member Of the Red Cross
you are enrolling yourself in the greatest
and most impressive army that ever stood
behind a magnificent movement 1t pam
ders to no creed, and favors no sect, color
or locality. 1t is Just a consolidation Of
men and women banded together to insure
the dissemination Of its teachings and its
works. 1t is in the nature OF natiOnal
pledge that we are true to the traditions
Of the founders Of this Republic. and that
the ideals for which we entered the war
will not pass from the earth. but be per-
petuated from generation to generation.
Surely no one with the best interests Of
our country at heart will omit to enroll
himself or herself before the sacred season
passes.
Now, therefore, |. Emerson C. Harring-
ton, Governor Of Maryland, do hereby call
upon all the people Of Maryland to enroll
themselves as a member Of the American
Red Cross, both in gratitude for the bless
ings which have already Come to us as
well as an aid and security for the con-
tinuance of this work. which is as impor-
tant now as it has ever been in the past.
In testimony whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed the
Great Seal Of the State of Maryland, at
the Capitol, in the City Of Annapolis, on
the 18th day Of December. in the year Of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
eighteen.

Gives Facts Or Negro.

What is probably the most exhaustive
treatise on the negro population Of Ameri-
lea ever published has just been issued as
a part of the United States census. II
covers the period from 1890 to 1915.
Every fact it would seem anyone might
wish to know about negroes is published
here. the manner in which they are dis
tributed through the country and the pro-
portion living in cities and in rural COM
munities, the number who own their homes
and the proportion of the rate that moves
away from the State Of birth being set
forth.
The idea that the race is increasing fas-
ter than the white population, sometimes
advanced is disposed Of by the statement
that the increase Of negroes through the
excess Of births over deaths from 1900 to
1910 was 1928 per cent, while the increase
Of whites was between ID and IS per cent,
the total increase Of whites, counting that
due to immigration. being 223 per cent.
One Of the most interesting facts brought
out by the report is that in 1910 the negro
population was 99.6 per cent. native. while
the white population was 1913 per cent.
native. The total negro population of the
country in 1910 was given as 9.827.763.
or 1877 per cent Of the whole.
The negro population Of the South in
1910 numbered 8, 749.427. The white popu-
lation Of the South numbered 20.547.420.
Maryland is shown to rank thirteenth as
to number Of negroes in its population in
1910 with $4,000, while Georgia led with
l,176.987.

DR.. CARLTON N. ETcHIsoN.

1t was with heartfelt sadness that we
noted the death of one of Montgomery's
most popular young physicians. Life had
hardly begun with DR.. Carlton Etchison
when he was called to purer realm of
joy and pleasure. He was in the morning
of manhood, with life just beginning for
coming years Of usefulness.
When the fearful epidemic of influenza
broke out, he worked increasingly and I'M
tiringly night and day. until he was stricken
with the disease, which caused his DEATH
tbs strange that those who would assist
in making earth better should be called
before their mission is accomplished. 1t
has been well said. His place cannot be
filed"
He was character well worthy of emu
MISUNDERSTANDING and never weary of
doing for others. Besides medical atten-
ton, he was always ready with his kind
sympathy to render any assistance in his
power to the household of his beloved
patients.
Those who came in contact with him
were assured that they would forget their
sorrows and grief, for in his countenance
beamed the light of cheerfulness and
pleasantly. His features were not decep-
tive in indicating his character. True man
hood was written In every line of his face.
His manner one Of ease and grace, at
tracted many toward him and caused I'M
told numbers to love him. Kind, consider
ate and gracious to every one he met, he
won for himself position of popularity
among his many patients and friends. The
cheerful manner with which he always
greeted his patients, and his devotion to
his profession with his tenderness and
sympathy. can never be forgotten.
1t was with sorrow that his many friends
learned of his illness. but intense grief
was felt when his death was ascertained.
Unexpected, the shock was severe to his
loved ones. The gates of eternal blessed
ness were swung open to admit him on the |
morning of October 18th, 1918. He is not
dead. but liveth in expectancy for the
of parted ties.
Born unto that undying life.
They leave u.s. but to come again;
With Joy we welcome them the same.
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the countless universe,
Is life-there is no dead"

of Claims, for many years colleague of

In response, Mr.. Glass called attention

expressed the hope that he would be able
at least to keep that standard in SIGHT.

Record Crop Looked For.
Rockville, Md.

huge winter wheat crop, larger by
80,000,000 bushels than any yield in the
history of American agriculture was fore
cast Monday by the Department of Agri-
culture.
The Governments appeal. made before
the coming peace was in sight. saying an
acreage Of 47.500,000 was desirable and
the guaranteed price of $2.20 bushel
for wheat, stimulated extraordinary effort
on the part of the farmers, said the de-
partments announcement. As a result,
49,027.000 acres were planted during
long and almost perfect season.
The fall growing season has been one of
the finest ever known, resulting in the
crop being in the best condition ever re-
corded on December |, and giving promise
OF heavy yield.
Allowing for the average spring aban-
donment Of acreage due to winter killing
the department announced that winter
wheat gives promise Of total production
of 765,000,O00 bushels. An average
spring wheat crop would place next years
production of wheat beyond 100000
900 bushels and exceed the record crop of
1915. Last years spring wheat production
was 363, 100000 bushels.
The rye acreage this autumn is slightly
larger than last being 6.820,00O. COM
pared to 6,708,000 acres. The condition
is SO per cent, compared to 84l per cent.
last year and Ola per cent. average. the
condition being held down by poor condi-
tons in the important producing States of
North and South Dakota. This forecasts
a somewhat larger production than last
years record crop Of 89,103,000 bushels.

Trade Ban Is Lifted.

Commodities in almost unlimited guam
titles may now be exported to Great
Britain, France. Italy, Japan and other
allied countries. But the blockade against
Germany still is maintained and will not
be relaxed, at least until peace is officially
established. This announcement was made
by the War Trade Board last week. and
the new rules are now effective Shipments
soon will be made to neutral countries,
such as Norway, Sweden. Holland, Switzer-
land. Spain and Central and South Amer
lea. The board predicted ample tonnage
for these trade routes within brief period.
