Foreign Banking Opportunities

Foreign Banking Opportunities
Opportunities for Americans in the
foreign bankind field, according to AL
bert Breton, vce-president of the
Guaranty Trust Company, are practi-
cally unlimited since this country ac-
and spread its activities into other
countries. These opportunities, Mr..
Breton said, in the course of an ad-
dress last night before the Trust Com
Of the American Institute of Banking,
will be even greater after the war. The
United States is becoming the leading
nation of the world, not only COM
mercally but financially. Two things
are ESSENTIAL in foreign banking capital
and trained men. Capital is plentiful
enough but there is a shortage of cx
perenced men. One of the principal
needs of the moment is that men shall
be trained and prepared for the tre-
mendous expansion in American foreign
banking which is now taking place.
"These men," said Mr.. Breton. "can
best be trained by actual banking eX-

countries with which they intend to

Don't Overfeed the Baby Chicks.

1t would be hard to find a locality AT
the present season in which baby chicks
are not now Matching. Every farm
and every suburban poultry raiser has
at least a few of the little fellows
started towards mature chlckenhOod.
The first few weeks Of the chick ,
life is the most critical.
The greater percentage Of all chicks
diving is due usually to diseases or ok
of care during the first two weeks Of
their existence.
Don't feed the chicks anything for +
hours Nature has provided food for
the little fellows in the yolk Of the egg
from which they hatch, enough food,
in fact, to sustain life considerably
longer than two days,
Give them water, however, from the
start. The first feed should consist OF
boiled egg ground up with oat meal, or
cold corn bread and milk.
A little extra care and attention vii
save the baby chicks. The early ones,
too, are the ones which will develop ts-
to early laying pullets Or proit-mahing
cockerels.

Maryland Should Grow More
Soy Beans.

MARYLAND is falling far short Of the
possibilities open to the State through
the production of soy beans as a sub
stitute for cotton seed meal and lInseed
meal, is the opinion of Prof. j. +.
Metzger, of the Maryland Experiment
Station.
Figures show that the soy beans are
the equal of cotton seed meal, pound
for pound, in their protein carrying
capacities. A yield of 20 bushels o.
b cans per acre is good average for
this crop, which is equal to the produ .
ton of 1900 pounds of cotton seed meal
per acre.
The cost Of producing an acre Of
beans is roughly about two thirds q
the cost of producing corn. Assuln'
ing the cost, however, at about 500
Der acre, it is easily seen that such j.

down to about SO. 50 per ton, or @I.ot

$4,000 per ton, or So o. per huhdrea
hence, a saving, by growing beans Of
about S24.O0 for every ton of cottof

At this rate, if two acres of soy bean,

Fair Price List.

Fair price list issued by the Fuod
Administrator, April 10, 1918.
The fair price list sent out to the
County Administrators and the County
press from Baltimore City, is based
each week upon the wholesale prices
charged in Baltimore City and the
prices accepted by the retail dealers OF
Baltimore City as showing a fair mar
gin of profit. In applying these prices
to County stores, the fact should be
kept in mind that the County dealer
who purchases supplies from Baltimore
City must add to the price which Is
charged in Baltimore a transportation
cost, in many instances, to his place of
business, including freight and, III
some non-railroad or wharf points,
truck or team transportation. Where
these differences exist, they must be
recognized in the retail price, and the
dealer allowed to add this cost to the
price paid by him in Baltimore City.

Death of Mr., Voc

Mr.. Harry Yoe, thirty one years
old, son of Mr.. William II. Voc, died
Sunday night at Casualty Hospital as
result of injuries he received in fall
from a street car in Anacostja. His
mother, a daughter Of the late Peter
Wood, of near Groom has a large
family connection in the lower end of
the county. The funeral was held from
St. Thomas Church Groom, Tuesday,
Rev. Mr.. Bolton, officiating.
The death of this young man is par
ticularly sad. He was the only son OF
devoted parents, with life full Of hope
and promise. Nothing can soothe the
aching hearts of the loved ones in his
home, and the deepest sympathy is felt
for them in their bereavement.

Serious Auto Accident

B. F. Fleshman was very serious
ly injured last Saturday afternoon
while driving in his automobile up
Sperry grade toward Leland. He
was almost at the top of the grade
when he was taken with a dizzy
spell and lost control of the car,
which ran off the grade and rolled
200 feet over the embankment. Mr..
Fleshman was in the car until the
last time it rolled over, when he
was thrown clear of it. The car
was one of the largest in this part
of the country and is complete
wreck.
Assistance was soon brought to
the injured man and he was taken
to a Moscow hospital by automobile
where it was discovered that dis
located hip was the most serious
injury sustained, although he was
badly bruised and received several
bad cuts. Reports from the hospital
are to the effect that he is slowly
recovering.
