physical, in the patriotism of this country. Democrats and republicans alike love their flag and are ready to die for 1t. We continually insist fq. all parties that the war be kept out of partisan politics and that partisan ship be kept out of the war.
 "Just as in congress the republi cans led the fight that made. possible the passage of the great war measures, so now the party membership and or ganizatioh has an immediate definite war task in the accomplishment of which it can fully function. I repeat let there be no contest in this country as to anything that touches the war ercept that contest-Who best can serve, who most can give.
 "The success of the fourth Liber ty loan shall be the republican party's supreme motif of thought and action until that objective is attained.
 Wherever republicans are together, by two or two thousand, it shall be a win the war meeting. Just as the re- publican party's every action at all times has been and shall be letermin- ed solely by how we can contribute most to lhe wars success so now our every thought and action shall be de termined entirely by how we can make cerldln the qulcR OFer-SuDSCTlpllOn Ol the fourth Liberty loan.
 ''This is a united country's next message to Germany.
 ''The entire republican organization in every voting precinct in this coun- try shall be a fighting force in this Liberty joan drive.
 This is the republican organiza- tion's business.
 This is the real business of every man, woman and child in America. Everything else is chores.

Soldiers don't lend their lives, they give them. We are not asked to give our dollars but to lend them. Think it over. Buy your Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds on Saturday of this week, without fail.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-09-26

The American Alliance for Labor and Democracy also issued a state ment tonight "in behalf of America s call to Ter people" to support the Liberty loan.
 Urging that to no others does the loan mean so much as to the workers of America, it calls attention to the declaration of the American Fedora tion of Labor that this is labor's war.
 Labor must, by every device and by every effort, help to bring it to a victorious conclusion" it adds.
 Commenting the federation slogan, DO nothing that canont be justified to the man rislzing his life on the firing line in France" the alliance de- clared that labor must shirk no obli- gation, evade no duty, go in lethargy about no task"

4 complete economic survey of
the county, which will include the
amount of hired help available and
in sight, the amount of seed for sale
On farms and that which will be
needed for spring planting, the
amount OF livestock on farms, the
acreage in pastures and crops, the
yields and prospects for crops of
last year and the coming year and
complete status of the fruit and or
chard industry, will be made March
1St and End.
The survey is being made at the
request of the Federal Government
cooperation with the Maryland State
College. 1t is planned to have
similar survey made in all counties
of the State on these dates.
Blanks for the survey will be furn-
ished by the Government and dis
tributed to the teachers for the chill
dren, through the Offices of the Coun-
ty Superintendent and County Agent
The survey is desired by the State
and Federal Government, in order
to ascertain definite information for
the purpose of aiding farmers where
possible in speeding up production.
1t is desired to ascertain the amount
of labor now employed and desired
for 1918, dis contrasted with the
amount employed last year. Also to
ascertain the seed supply in the
State. By this means, farmers can
be advised of seed supplies near at
hand. The Government will also
learn the demands for any particular
seed.
The livestock survey will include
what stock is now on farms as COM
pared with last year and the de-
mands and supplies Of different
sections
The crop survey will cover the
number of acres planted, the kinds
grown and the yields, as well as the
plans OF cropping systems to be fol-
lowed during the coming year.
The most efficient and economical
means of gathering the information
sought, has been found through the
channel of the public school. Aside
from the opportunity for rendering
a valuable public service, this work
will place within the grasp of the
pupils, a knowledge of land values,
of crops and crop production, of the
value of farm impleme tents, and of
many matters of Importance affect
ing the community and it's welfare.
1t is believed every school boy and
girl will enter into the work with
interest, and likewise teachers and
school authorities, in that school eff
ficiency will 5e increased and real
service rendered toward aiding the
successful prosecution of the war.

MAN, 22, WORKED 50 YEARS
Record of Jobs Wins Temporary
Draft EXEMPTION.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 22.-Although
Albert Fay Rothrock, Mifflin county
farmer, Is only twenty-five years old,
his record Of jobs undertaken and the
ffty-four years he speut at them was
sufficient to secure at least temporary
exemption from military duty and he
will remain on the farm with the full
consent of the district draft board.
When Rothrock asked for deferred
classification in the draft he came to
the column where registrants give an
account of what they can do and how
long they have been doing it. When
he had the column filed 1t showed:
Teamster, ten years; horseshoer, five
years: student, five years; teacher,
four years; farmer, twelve years;
horseman, twelve years; automobile
driver, three years; truck driver,
three years.
This covered the period since he
was ten years old. Fifty-four plus
ten equals %, but the draft board was
satisfied with the addition.

REQUIsITION UNsOLD SALMON
Packers Ordered to Hold Supplies
Till Government Is Served.

Bellingham, Wash, Feb. Pc. B..
Deming, salmon administrator for the
federal government, announced that,
by order of the food administrator, all
the unsold salmon stock in the United
States will be requisitioned for the
United States army.
Salmon packers may not sell any o.!
the stocks they now have on hand,
pending decision as to how much will
be needed for government use, accord
ing to an order received by packers
from the federal food administration.
About a year ago the packers were
notified to set aside a certain per
centage of their stock to be sold to
the government This gradually has
been taken up This later order is
thought to indicate that the govern.
ment wants to make sure of having
enough.

Hoover Shows Crisis For Next
Two Months.
Food Administrator Says Grain and
Potatoes Fail to Reach Market and
Are Spelling.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The next two
months will be the most critical psri-
Cd with regard to food that the Unit
ed States has faced since she enle. ed
the war.
This was the statement of Herbert
c. Hoover, United States food adm
istrator.
Earnest cooperation is called for.
The statement reads:
"In response to many inqv: s,
beg to say il is true that since the
first of December, we have fallen far
behind our agreed food program with
the allies. BY the end of F b uary
we VIII DE short 45,00000O bushels in
cereal products which we undertook
as our share of their supplies w
will also be short of tie amount Of
meat and pork products that we wer~
to deliver

effort to find remedy, but du~in~ the
month of January the weather w"s in
superable. and although progress has
been made since February ), tha stu
alton is the accumulation of three
months delays.
"The next sixty days will be the
most critical period in our food his
tory. The simple fact Is that the pro
gram goes far deeper than supplies
to the allies. During the last three
months we have fallen far behind in
movement of foodstuffs from the
farms to. the consuming and storage
centers. Up to the first of February
less than so per cent of the normal
ratio Of corn has been moved, less
than 80 per cent Of the oats and less
than 60 per cent of the potatoes.
From November to January we
were shdrt In the usual movement Of
grains abd grain products into the
terminals alone by over 10000 car
loads-o5er 120,00o.oO6 bushels-and
this further aggravates similar
shortageb boutside the terminals.
'Furthk krmore, this year we have
the largo percentage of soft corn in
many ~ RS, and though we have a
record y crop. a CONSIDERABLE 1or
tion o~s soft corn viii be lost Sy
spoilif less it can be moved in the
next days to the drying termin
ais.
"The asst amount of grain thai
must oaded for the next sixty

we ha. lot yet attained that. Less

nor oua omestic situation.
1--WE I'd about 100000 carloads of
potatoe. pm November l which should
have n moved from the principal
produce e centers, and up to the first
of Febr harry we had moved about 2S,-
900 carloads, while we should have
moved more than $4,000 in this period.
The res ult is that potatoes are piling
up, spelling on the producers hands,
and the consuming centers have only
been supplied by virtue of the sum
mer gardens and other stores carried
over from last year.
There is a great deal of livestock
which has been ready for the market
for some time, but is still held in the
farmers hands through inability to
secure transportation These cattle
are eating their heads off without in
creasing their meat value, and are
adding to the costs of the farmer and
consuming the grain"

COUNTY AGENT MAKING
PLANS TO MEET FARMERS
Is Anxious to Get in Touch With
Those Who Desire to Have DEM
onstrations ON Their Farms.

The newly appointed County Ag-
ent is now here, ready to take up the
duties going with the position. Those
who wish to have demonstrations on
spraying, pruning, alfalfa, tomatoes.
potatoes, stock or hay production,
held on their farm, should get in
touch with the agent as soon as pos
sible.
Tuesdays and Saturdays will be
his Office days, and the Office is in
with the Dixie Realty Co. Any one
wishing to consult him should plan
to come in on these days. The re-
mainder of the time will be spent in
field work, supervising demonstra-
tions and whatever other matters
that need his attention.
Last week was spent in studying
the labor conditions of this county.
At present the County Superinten-
dent of Education and the County
Agent are getting ready to carry on
an economic survey of the county,
something in which the US. Govern
ment is very much interested. When
these reports are filled in and re-
turned, they can be used to help find
buyers for seed, stock and other
farm products.
This survey will be carried on dur
ing the first week in March. 1t is
hoped that every one will fill out the
blanks and return to the proper per-
sons.
On Wednesday, the agent visited
Hurlock and East New Market,
where he met and discussed prob
lens with several of the farmers. He
will get around to see the people as
rapidly as possible.
Arrangements are being made re-
garding farmers Institutes. Those
interested should communicate with
the agent, so that he can arrange for
speakers who can discuss the phases
of agriculture in which they are es-
pecially interested.
