THRIFT PATCH PRIZES
TO BOOST FOOD CROPS

Prizes to the amount Of $4,000 are
to be distributed among both the pro
fessional and amateur farmers of this
State who are able to show this year
the greatest increase in food produc-
ton. While Maryland is Lot one Of
the great wheat-growing States, recorA
crops of other foods will, to a great
extent, meet our needs at home, and
thus ease the burden of the wheat
growers who must supply our army
and our allies abroad. Patriotic do.
nations to the Maryland Food Admin
istration have provided the where
withal for these rewards. Owing to
the vacation from his arduous duties
which Administrator Baeter's doctors
have compelled him to take, the com
plete details are not yet available for
publication, but they will very shortly
appear in the papers. They will have
an interest for every man, woman and
child who can handle hoe.
The hope OF the donors OF the prize
fund is to stir up war gardeners to
still greater actions. There will be
prizes for the best farm or home gar
dens of less than half an acre, and
another set Of prizes for farm gardens
of over that size.
In TIE towns the thrift,plot scheme
has long passed out OF the joke stage
and is doing Let to tide over the
food crisis which the war has brought
about. In the country, another joke
is about to end Its days as laugh
producer-that which says man
must go to the city to get the good
things the farmer grows. In the past
a lot of time, effort and money have
been spent by the farmer in buying
from town foodstuffs which he might
we'll grow at home. The chicken and
egg industry as by-product OF the
Maryland farms has put deal OF
money into the purse Of the farmers
wife. The development OF this plan
for patriot-patches as another by-prod,
uct will not only put more money In
that purse. but will also save deal
besides, in providing the farm-table
with foods at little cost fer which
many dollars are now being spent.
The whole scheme IS to mobilize the
fcod-producing potentialities of this
State so as to get the biggest and best
results Everybody who can work

mark now and so be ready to beat
the barrier" the minute the papers de-
clare the competition open. The win
ners will have Uncle Sans Liberty
Bonds, or some such reward for their
extra efforts and outstanding skill
The other entrants-there can be no
losers-should get as much satisfac,
ton out OF the sure knowledge that
they have rendered patriotic service

ming the war.

Take the matter of gift-selection. Shop late
of town by mail or parcel post for example:
Late shopping means late mailing. Late mail
ing means jam in the postoffice, congestion
in the mail car and in the delivery wagons.
Packages bought late and mailed late may arrive

Ask your postmaster what he thinks about
this point. He can tell you lot of Illuminating
things about the results of late shopping and
late mailing of gifts.

and your choice is always limited by depleted,

of last-minute buyers and by your own necessity
for haste.
Ask any merchant, any clerk for few re-

to shop today and get it over and done with.

In making public the results to date of its
poll, the League emphasizes the fact that it is
conducting the same purely on the basis of the
principle of Universal Military Training and not
IN advocacy of any particular plan that the en-
actnaent should take. In its most recent poll
letter, the League even asks each member of the
66th Congress for suggestions as to the form
OF enactment. This letter reads
Zone of the basic tenets of the National Sc
cur1ty League, as you may know, has been the
adoption of federal system of Universal Mill
tary Training and Instruction as the permanent
basis of national defense. The League has,
however, not passed this matter during the past
months, when active war work was the bust

FOR SELF GOVERNMENT.

FOR SELF GOVERNMENTS.
Germany is becoming more disunited and
riotous every day.
Germans may not be fit for self-government.
Government has been thrust on them from the
days of the robber barons and the first Hohen-
zollerns until now. Their "free cities of old
were petty tyrannies, nothing better.
Older Germany was the home of the secret
tribunal, the Vehmgericht, not of popular cleo
tions.
Autocracy didn't produce unity in Germany.
Jealousy, hatred, hedged Prussia. North hated
south Germany. Factionism developed in spite
of verboten signs from Potsdam.
Now the harvest of disunion.
Germany always misgoverned alien peoples.
Examples? Alsace-Lorraine, Bohemia, Poland,
African colonies, invaded territories.
If Germany can't govern itself-then what?
Tutelage? By the allied powers? As the Fill
pinos are and have been tutored by the United
States?
Perhaps! Is that what Arthur j. Balfour
meant when he said the other day:
There will be great many states created in
Europe for which the League of Nations must
care.
Democracy is not a suit of clothes that can
be put on at any stage of Development
No. Nor do autocracies teach and fit men for
democracy.

GERMAN CONcEIT NOT
ALL KNOCKED OUT

London, Dec. 14.-After all, it takes
lot to knock the conceit out of a
Hun. Here's the Koelnische Volks-
zeitung with the following comment
on German military exploits: "The
campaigns of Napoleon pale into in
significance beside the Incompatible
glory of the German exploits. These
beat all world records in suppleness.
in energy, in elasticity and adaptable
ity to all circumstances. The descrip-
ton of these magnificent feats, when
it is given to the world. will stagger
humanity. and cause the whole earth
to marvel at the stupendous genius OF
Germanism."
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-12-15

Now that the wars over the Spanish govern
ment shows odd zeal for ousting German
agents. Wonder if this has anything to do
with which side won?
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-12-15

instability of the present socialist
control of Germany is pointed oE
here in the fact that the party Of
Ebert controls but 25 per cent of the
397 seats in the reichstag. The Ebert
control is therefore but a minority
or ruInp government-or the old gang
in disguise. The continuance in au-
thority of Solf and others of the old
regime indicate the truth of the latter
suggestion.
