Acre Yield OF Potato Grins
Sc Per Cent in 20 Years

Washington, D. c., Oct. THE
yield of potatoes per acre is gradu-
ally increasing in this country, as
shown by the records of the Bureau
of Crop Estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture
During 1866-1S74 the average an
nual yield per acre was 81 bushels,
but the average markedly declined
71.3 bushels in 1S85-1S94. Percep-
tible recovery was made in the fol-
lowing ten-year period and a much
water mark, was reached in 1906
1914, with it's average yield of 81
bushels per acre.
In 20 years the productivity of the
average potato acre increased SO PEI
cent. This increase is due to various
causes, among which are greater
specialization of production, more in
tensive treatment, and higher fertili-
ty of the soil The ten-year average
yield of 81 bushels per acre in 1906
1914 was followed by 96.3 bushels in
1915, sos bushels in the very low
year, 1916, and 1908 bushels in
1917.
Compared with population, the
yield Of potatoes per acre declined
from 1866-1S74 to 1905-1914. The
gain of production per capita in re
cent years has been more because OF
increased acreage than because of in
creased production per acre.

We Will BUY
MACHINE GUNS.
Our Towns Fourth Liberty Loan Sub
Scriptions VIII Pay For Many of
These Weapons.

No other single weapon used in
the world war has proved so efficaci-
Gus as the machine gun. Equally in
offense and defense it has become in
! dispensable. When our boys dash
/ forward against the Huns, they carry
them up at every pause to rake the
ranks Of the enemy. When our ava
! tors fly over the German lines, for
combat or for observation, each air
plane must carry one or more of
these weapons. Thousands upon
thousands of them are in use now,
and more must be provided in an I'M
ending stream.
1t is well for the people of Cam
bridge to fix these facts firmly in
their minds. for they are about to
buy great number of machine guns
with which the boys of this place,
who are in the service, will shoot the
Kaiser's soldiers full of holes.
One light Browning machine gun
, 4 D.
Each resident of Cambridge who will
lend the United States government
$3.50 will know that he or she is
paying for two of those weapons, and
may be assured that those very guns
will soon be spraying with bullets
the brutal Boches who are trying to
ruin the world.
The way to lend this money to the
government-which means to your
self-was opened to each of you
when the bonds of the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan were put on sale. 1t will
take only five $50 bonds to pay for
those two machine guns, and if you
cannot afford to take all five of
them, the members of your house
hold can combine to purchase that
number. Then, when later you read
about a bunch of the Cambridge boys
France beating back a counter-at-
tack of the Huns, you can say:
Maybe they are using the guns our
family paid for" Cambridge has
something like 5000 population. Our
Liberty Loan director is informed
that we must take at least s275,O00
of the bonds of the Fourth Loan.
That means that Cambridge will buy
1900 light Browning machine guns
to help make the world decent |
place to live in.

Health Officer Explains
Why Schools Are Open.

The health authorities are oppos-
ed to closing schools during this
epidemic of influenza, because to do
SO would not affect the spread of the
disease. Children attending school
are but small part of the popula-
ton who may have or who may
spread the disease, and school clos
ure affects their movements only
six hours out of the twenty-four.
During the six school hours the
average child is no more likely to be
infected at school than elsewhere.
This is especially true when the
teacher excludes from school all pu-
pills that show signs of illness. This
spidemic will continue for about six
weeks and will stop then, because
most persons susceptible to the dis
ease will have had it.
The essential measures to fight in
fluenza are plenty of food, fresh air,
clothing suitable for the season, rest
in bed from the beginning of the
attack, and the result will likely be
a mild case.

Deputy State Health Officer.

Maryland To Aid
Y. w. 6. A.
War Work
Five District Chairmen Named
To Put State Over The
Top In November
Drive.

John R. Mott, president of the In
ternational Y. M. C. A. has been ap-
pointed generalissimo for the united
war work campaign which will start
November II and through which it il
expected that $500, 900 will be
raised for war relief work by the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton and the six organizations join
ing with it in the drive.
A big setting-up meeting OF the
Eastern departments Of the seven or
carnations was held Wednesday, Sep
TENDER IL, in New York, at which
time campaign plans were discussed.
Department staff members, members
of the state directors committee and
the state organizers Of the associa-
ton were present.
The sum of S170,5O0, 900 is the lars-
est gift ever asked of the nation and
1t has the endorsement Of the War
Department, the officials of which re-
alize the need for raising this war
relief fund. At the meeting Friday
arrangements were made to send
speakers throughout the country and
Maryland will hear many noted per-
sons.
That all Maryland may know what
comfort and aid the workers Of the
Young Women's Christian Association
are giving the soldier in France, and
how The Girl He Left Behind Him
and The Girl Who had to Take His
Place are being cared for, virtually
every preacher in Maryland on Sum
day, September %, will tell his con-
gregation what is being done by the
girls of the Blue Triangle.
That day has been christened Blue
Triangle Sunday and letters request
ing the pastors to help in its observ-
ance are being sent out this week by
Miss Florence Wilbur, organizer fer
Maryland. Every Sunday School su-
perintendent will also be asked to tell
hisschool of the wonderful work be-
ing done by the devoted women Of
the state and country.
The Y. w. C. A. is one of the seven
efficient organizations which has won
the approval of the government and
of the War Department because Of
the way it is handling it's war relief
work both in Europe and in this coun-
try. Its hostess houses have proven
to be one of the best forces for good
and the way its organization has mob
ilized the women power of the coun-
try to take the places Of men re-
leased for military duty has been
highly commended.

The Huns.

There's protest from the Huns,
They don't like our buck-shot guns,
Or do they like our Yankee ways
What they have done in years, we
have done in days.
Our boys, so full of fighting pep,
Made them forget their goosestep,
And now they know they can't win,
The Kaiser he may scold them;
Hindenberg can't hold them,
For they are headed for Berlin.

LEAD To Nothing"
Graphic-For the present. his utter
ances will lead to nothing.
Chronicle-He wants US to state
bedrock terms. We doubt that Lans-
downe, if buying a house, would tell
the absolute top price he would give.
The Lansdowne letter said:
81 am convinced there is a deep
seated desire for further explanation
OF conditions on which we are pre-
pared to open a discussion leading to
peace.
"As far as may be Judged, peace
desires in the enemy nations is wide
spread. This is the only possible ex-
PLANTATION of the language of Ger
mans and Austrians who are able to
speak freely and the constant feelers
the central powers launch. Let US
give our adversaries a chance of
showing whether they are sincere"
Lord Lansdowne urged peace dis
cussion first in November, 1917, when
he wrote a letter to the London Daily
Telegraph, suggesting the allies make
a restatement of their war aims.
February 1, 1918, in a speech he
further explained his attitude and
made a defense against the criticism
that had been leveled at him when
his first letter became public.
In the house of lords on March 10,
Lansdowne urged a league of nations
to enforce peace and said Germany
should be included in it
Lansdowne was foreign minister in

Is impossible to keep the machine
from jarring, and the wounded think
we are to blame Every little bump
puts the man in more agony, and II il

are getting used to that. Those poor
