Order Your Coal Now.

The United States Fuel Administrator
has issued statement with respect to
next winters coal supply. from which the
following extracts are taken:
Every householder, every public utility
and every industrial user of coal are earn
estly advised and urged to place without
delay their orders for coal to cover their
needs for the IL months beginning April l..
THE Fuel Administration would be neg
li9ent of its duty if 1t failed to call atten-
ton at this time to the unfortunate results
of the mistaken course pursued year ago
by the public, and to warn all consumers
in the most emphatic manner possible
that a repetition of results can be avoided
only by accepting and acting Immediately
upon the Fuel Administrations advice
| here given. Let every consumer Of the
classes mentioned assertion his fuel re-
quirements for the coming year. Do this
at once. Order sufficient coal to meet
those requirements.
Attention is called to the fact that unless
| consumers place their ORDERS win Dealers
and dealers in turn place their orders
with operators, the latter cannot mine
the coal or order cars for its transpor-
tation. and the distress OF last winter
will be repeated next winter. The cars
must move during the whole season
from April to November in order to deliver
the needed supply for the country, because
there are not enough cars to move 1t in a
short period and at the same time provide
traffic for other necessary commodities.
Emphasis should also be given to the
fact that no dealer is allowed to deliver
coal except upon the written order Of the
consumer containing certain statements
prescribed by the Fuel Administration.
Dealers are required to furnish the blanks
for orders, and dealers are advised that
these blanks can be obtained from the
Baltimore Coal Exchange at a very rea-
sonable price.
The Fuel Committee for Montgomery
County hopes these suggestions will be
needed. II it is not done. consumers will
have themselves to blame.

America ! Awake ! Arise !

America did you hear the cry of the Lu-
sitaniaS
1.-THE hounds of the sea have found us,
Did you hear the call of the brave Tuscania 2
THE cannibals of the sea surround u.s."
Down in the slime of the monstered deep,
The brave lads went with the lost Tuscania /;
A last dream of home with that last leap.
From the German wrath and the Kaisered
mania.
America did you hear the pitiful cry, the
moan
OF Mother and Sister and Wife and Child !;
The news that chilled their hearts to stone.
AS loved ones enshrouded in the ocean wild.
Poor France lies bleeding with wounds red
and deep.
Her vine-clad fields are shriveled with gore /;
America, come thy pledge of love keep,
Ere the wolf of the jungle leap on thy shore.
Liberty lies gasping for breath and for life,
Buckle thine armor on the loins Of thy youth I;
Unfurl thy banners forefront of the strife,
Save the world. Oh America for Christ
and for truth.
Oh. Liberty sweet precious gift from God.
Written on flower and tree and eagles
wing
Awake Arise WELD forth thy sacred rod,
From vale and hill, thy bells of freedom
ring.
America humanity cries to thee the task
| is thine.
Death and disaster ride the roads where
freemen trod
Though land and seas thy blood incarna-
dine.
Let King and despot feel thy Christening rod.
From sky kissed hill, and vale, from every
where.
From farm and hamlet, hut and mansion
grand,
America thy hammered millions rise and
swear.
Liberty and Peace shall reign in every land.
Awake Arise America and on thy starry
pinions,
Thy flag of Liberty respondent shine
No sword, no slime from the kiss of minions.
Shall fetter. or tarnish the glory that's
thine.

Fertilizer Bill Is Through.

On motion of Senator Williams the Sen
ate today concuned in the amendments
adopted by the House to the Fertilizer bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator Will
liams The amendments do not make vital
changes in the bill as it passed the Senate,
and the passage Of this bill gives Maryland
modern, progressive fertilizer law.
The movement for a radical change in
the fertilizer law in Maryland was begun
by Senator Williams when he was mem
Der Of the House Of Delegates In 1908. At
that time. it was stated. but one State had
law similar to the legislation now adopted.
while today more than 20 States have
adopted reform legislation governing the
sale of commercial fertilizer.
The bill has the endorsement Of DR.. Al
bert F. Woods, president Of the Maryland
State College and executive officer Of the
State Board Of Agriculture, who today told
just how the new law would affect the fer
tilizer situation.
This is an appropriate time," said Dr.
Woods. ito bring before the Legislature
the enactment Of a more stringent fertilizer
law. The need Of fertilizer is urgent, the
materials are scarce, and. therefore, the
temptation to cheaper the grades and de-
fraud is stronger than ever
1.-THE bill" he says. makes four impor-
tant changes in the present fertilizer law OF
the State. 1t compels the disclosure OF the
sources Of the chemical constituents fixes
the standard for high, medium and low
grade fertilizer prohibits the sale Of goods
identical in composition under different
trade names. and prevents the retention
of an acquired trade name Of fertilizer
II the constituents Of the brand are in any
way reduced. consider the last-men-
toned reform most vital one, A manu-
facturer often establishes brand that at
tains such popularity as to readily sell
itself Then the constituents are lowered.
The farmer. however. continues to buy the
fertilizer. thinking all the while he is get
ting the Identical compound as in previ-
Gus years. because the name has been re-
tanned. - Baltimore Sun Of March 20.

With hope to save his life,

Since my dear uncle John departed this

A devoted christian life he spent.
Loyal to his God to the end.
God gave him rest, for He knew best
When He called him to come home
For him deaths dark valley had no fear.
For he knew that his Saviour was near,
When the summons Of death came to his
home.
He was ready and willing to meet God
alone.

The tiny bud God gave to US.
Grew just little while.
Before the leaf unfolded
We lost her tender smile.
Just when we grew to love her,
God came with tender care
And claimed her for His own.
To bloom in His garden there.
And now we miss the flower,
Our hearts are sad and lone.
The earth seems full Of darkness.
The birds sing In minor tone.
But even In our sorrow
There shines a radiant light.
Our trust In Him Is stronger.
HE doeth all things right"
