COUNTY INDIGENTS
EXPERIENCE TOUCH
OF CHRISTMAS JOY

Following custom of more than
quarter of century, members of the
Guild of Mercy took Christmas cheer
to the County Home yesterday. While
the gifts were not so abundant as in
former years, owing perhaps to the
many demands of war needs on the
people, there was enough to go around
and all expressed gratitude and ap-
probation.
To quote old Mr. Phillips, now near
ly ninety years, Il want to thank the
kind, good people of Annapolis for re-
Numbering me. / have been a pen
sioner on their bounty at the Home
for nearly twenty years: and they have
always been kind to me. Please tell
them l am grateful. The old man
for some years was janitor of one of
the county schools where he served
until he grew too feeble. He says he
expects to be called to his eternal
home before next Christmas, but he
"has his house in order and is ready
when the Master calls"
Old Booze, colored man, living on
borrowed time. totally blind, recog-
nized the voices of members of the
Guild, and expressed gratitude for the
gifts sent by kind Annapolis folk. He
says he is just waiting to be called
home and is ready to go when the
summons comes
Each inmate of the Home received
apples. oranges, candy. peanuts. cake,
a handkerchief. and the women were
given stockings There was a good
supply of tobacco for the men for
which they were grateful All seemed
happy and contented with their lot
and were warm in their praise of
Overseer W. H Tucker. who is cred
tied with doing his duty and is re-
garded as the best caretaker of the
County Home in years.
The trustees. three OF whom are
women, had provided three turkeys
for Christmas dinner for the inmates,
and they said they enjoyed the feast
aside from the treat given them
through the efforts of the Guild OF
Mercy.

THAT ANNAPOLIs FERRY

Maryland's East Shore citizenship
appears to be hardly what you might
call unanimous in its enthusiasm over
the building of the Baltimore bridge
across the bay. Citizens of the state
are sending communications opposing
Il to Baltimore papers.
recent writer in the Sun makes a
strong point OF the impracticability OF
the scheme by declaring il too expen-
give. not desirable and undoubtedly OPP
posed by the government. This writer
suggests a line OF large and fast steam
ers TO Kent island as more satisfac-
tory Ito East Shore dwellers) means
of communication.
Whatever solution may be made or
the problem OF more direct and speed
Ter communication with Baltimore by
East Shore citizens will be of little In
terest to Annapolis. II is true there is
little travel 10 and from East Shore
points and Annapolis and vicinity.
Yet there is some, and undoubtedly
there is a great deal more desired. IL
Is up to Annapolis to give encourage
ment to this desire by affording sat
isfactory means of travel. Informed
citizens state that ferry line between
Annapolis and Kent island can be es-
tablished at very small cost. Such
service would serve the double purpose
OF affording East Shore people a
means OF communication with the
capital of the state and yet give them
two direct rail routes to Baltimore as
well as making II possible for them to
visit the southern portions of the
west shore.
Here is trade enlargement posi-
bility worthy the efforts of Annapolis
business men and should have their
attention.

and Russian prisoners returning from
German prison camps. their faces bag
gard, their clothes tatters. She was
affected visibly by their appearance
and words.
! AT the extreme point of the Ameri-
I can advance Miss Wilson was met by
Gems. Hines and Allen, whom she
knew. Gen Allen introduced the
Presidents daughter to the Alsatian
civilian crowd, who burst forth into
prolonged cheering. A little girl step
ped forth and kissed Miss Wilson.
At Stenay, Miss Wilson visited the
Chateau, where the German Crown
I Prince made his headquarters when
at the front. That night Miss Wilson's
party dined with Lieut.. Gen. Liggett
at Souilly. Concerts were given in
the wards of the hospitals there, as
well as in the school house. Col. Mil
/ ling and officers of the aviation camp
entertained with dinner and dance,
at which Miss Wilson was presented
with trophies, including German
anti-tank gun, magnetic from Ger
man airplane and an aviator's leather
coat with colonel's insignia on its
shoulder straps
/ From there the party drove to the
Argonne forest, where the Americans
did such valiant fighting, thence to the
Champagne battlefield, through SUPP
pes TO Rheims, where pleasant sur
prise awaited Miss Wilson. She met
quite by chance, her fathers closest
adviser, Col. E. M. House. Through
the concierge's courtesy, they were
enabled to inspect the interior of the
shell-shattered cathedral, that great
est monument to Kultur. Miss Will
son carried away small piece OF
broken glass of cathedral window
which she picked from the wreckage
to keep as souvenir.
Returning to Paris, Miss Wilson re-
ported to the Y NJ C. A. for further
concert tours under Red Triangle
auspices, after a weeks wonderful
motor swing around the most historic
parts of France.

ANNAPOLIS, OPPORTUNITY

Even those respected old citizens
who are most devotedly welded to the
past and who are slowest to admit that
the old Annapolis is passing are forced
10 take note of a new and strange at
mosphere in the city. The old build
ings are here, the historic points of ma
tion-wide, even worldwide, interest re-
main unchanged, the sentiment OF ira
dition still influences the public mind.
But there is an indefinable something
taking form which is disquieting to the
old but meeting with sympathetic re-
sponsiveness by youth.
IL is the old Annapolis passing.
Passing not in the sense that it is to be
no more but that it is rather to be set
aside and cherished as a memory.

not with servility or idolatry. 1t is
Young Annapolis coming into its own

There are many hopeful signs of
progress to be found in the city. With
the comparatively stabilized conditions

the Industrial unrest of the war period
there has come renewed confidence, or
rather, a new confidence. and the city's
best informed business men are on the
alert to develop new opportunities or
grasp those already offered
Everywhere over the city there is
talk of building, of developing and
branching out. Money is plentiful
here: soon labor conditions will re-
sumo the normal and business. re-
leased from its wartime fear. must
seek and find an outlet for expansion.
Local business men are enjoying a
period of prosperity which is not
bouyed up by war industry imitation
and there is a healthful tone and con-
fident outlook to be found all over the
city.
1t is Annapolis great opportunity to
step into the line of progress with
other cities, east, west. north and
south. To be lethargic or timid now is
suicidal to future development and
prosperity.
1t is grand time for all to get to-
gether, time to organize strong for
united municipal effort and determine
that Annapolis shall be celebrated as
much for its youthful vigor and prog
ress as venerated for its age. And to-
day is an excellent time for taking the
first step.

CHEAPER FLOUR HOPE

Cancellation of all -four milling reg
ulations, including fair price SEIZED
ules and the price and quantity re-
strictions on the sale of wheat -four
by millers. which officials expect will
result in cheaper -four has been for
mally announced by the Food Admin
istration.
Notification of the action was tele-
graphed recently to all zone agents
of the Food Administration Grain
Corporation and there was a sharp
rise in the price of wheat bran and
other mill feeds on the Minneapolis
market, which officials expect to be
followed by drop in -four prices.
Existing regulations res ricting mar
gins of profits on -four and mill feeds
remain in effect, as do general regu-
lations of the Food Administration
prohibiting profiteering. boarding and
unfair practices, and officials said
these would be strictly enforced.
The prediction of cheaper flour to
the consumer, it was stated at the
Food Administration, is based on the
immediate rise in the price of mill
feeds, amounting to several dollars a
ton. Close observation of the market
trend in flour and mill feeds, made by
the Food Administrations milling di-
vision and grain experts, it was said,
showed that with every upward move

of -four on basis of an average drop
