boy Of girl did not have the money
Mrs. Burden or her friends financed
the affair.
To tell the truth, Mrs. Burden did not
expect so great rush of pig requests.
She feared that she would have to coax
Long Island to accept her pigs, but quite
the contrary, and the day came when
dozens of small boys lined the roadway
leading to her home begging, please, for
pig.
The State Agricultural Department and
Calvin Hudson came to the rescue of the
charming lady in distress and assured her
that the pigs she needed would be found
for her.

bled. trebled, and from close count it looks
as though Mrs. Burdens efforts would send
nearly two thousand pigs to market later
in the Fall. The children Of Long Island,
from those in the palaces on Wheatley
Hills to the farms in the lowlands, are de-
termined to raise every pig they can and
so help win the war, or. as they say, help
beat the Kaiser.
Perhaps Mrs. Burdens browning success
was her installation at Hicksville, Long
Island, of a piggery for big Camp Mills,
and by 1t not only stopping camp kitchen
waste. but making It pay a profit. This
achievement, one of the most remarkable
of the wartime conservation undertakings,
is being carried on with the cooperation of
Lieutenant-Colonel c. H. Smith, Quarter
masters Corps.
The camp, with its capacity Of $4,000
men, required $50 kitchens, and each had
an incinerator for the disposal OF table
waste that was not marketable as garbage.

jected the idea OF piggery, Mrs. Burden

Predict Worse FAMINE In Coal
Next Winter.

"A coal shortage next winter that
will be worse than last winters" is
predicted IN statement given out by
the National Coal Association, which
quotes kilograms supporting this an
nouncement from operators in Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Ten
nessee and Southwest Virginia. Car
shortage and shortage of labor caused
by loss of steady work due to the car
shortage are given as reasons for the
alleged drop in production that has in
spired the gloomy prognostication.
''Car.shortage is at present the main
factor limiting production" the state
ment asserts. 1--WE are facing a coal
shortage just as serious, and possibly
more serious, than that of last year.
There are no reserve stocks and trans
portation apparently cannot be expect
ed greatly to improve. The outlook is
most serious"
This view of the coal situation is off
set by an emphatic and categorical de-
NAL from the Railway Administration
that car shortage is responsible for
any threatened coal famine. Mr., Nc
Adoo's department admits that the
railroads hauled fewer cars of coal dur
ing the first three months of the
present year than they were supposed
to handle, but added that this shortage
was made up during the present month,
and that the records for four months of
1918 will show total of carloads hauled
that is 5000 greater than during any
similar period in the history of the
United States.
These sharply clashing statements
thoroughly puzzle the heads of Govern
ment enterprises that require big sup
plies of fuel. 1t is felt, however, that
the facts about coal production should
be established at once, while there is
still time to avert repetition of the
famine that paralyzed American indus
try last winter. For that reason it is
almost certain that Congress will con-
duct an investigation of the situation if
the Fuel Administration and Railway
Administration cannot settle between
themselves exactly what is the cause of
the decline in production and how it
may be overcome at once.

For Your Immediate Attention.

Under the Compulsory Work Law of
Maryland passed in 1917, idleness is a
misdemeanor in Maryland. This means
that all men between Is and so must be
regularly and continuously employed at
some useful business, occupation, trade
or profession. This does not mean that
they can loaf two days a week-they
must work evey day.
No man in Maryland has the vested
right to loaf in these war times. He
must work. go to war or leave the state.
Your duty is to report the oilers to
the Maryland Council of Defense and
the Council will undertake the proper
investigations through the Compulsory
Work Bureau. YOUR NAME WILL
NOT BE USED. Maryland Council of

MEN FOR THE NAVY
Opportunity Stands Waiting at
The Door For Many.

Maryland has again been called upon
to increase the fighting forces in the
Nations first line of defense, and al
though the response has been encourag-
ing, the quota for this State is not
filling as rapidly as it should be.
The opportunities offered to the en-
listed personnel OF the Navy and the
Naval Reserves have never been equal
ed before. Some of the young men of
Maryland who enlisted six months ago
are now officers in the Naval Reserve
Force, and doing excellent duty
wherever they may be sent. The
Naval Reserve School held at Annapolis,
should be crowded with sons of Mary
land, who will there receive a good
education in the rudiments of Naval
life.
A great many young men do not
appreciate the opportunities offered at
this time, and If this opportunity was
appreciated by them, all the recruiting
offices in this State would be crowded
with applicants anxious to take ad-
vantage of the rapid promotion which
is easily obtained by energetic young
men at this time.
Information and full particulars may
be obtained from the nearest post
master, directly from the Navy Re-
cruiting Station, Calvert and Lexington
Streets, Baltimore. or from the Navy
Recruiting Substations at Cumberland
and Hagerstown.
