convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only WAS
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant croD

Maryland's Record
For Loan SUBSCRIPTIONS

While Maryland subscribed in larger
proportion to the Third Liberty Loan
than any other State in the Fifth Re
serve District, Its record was not as
good in oyer-subscriptions as soma Of
the other States, but what it lacked IN
this respect, 1t more than made UP In
per capita subscriptions.
Maryland's apportionment Of the
first loan was 10000, 900 minimum.
! $35,0O0,O00 maximum and total sub
! scriptions amounted to $37,01s,750 or
/ s2,01S,750 over-subscriptions. t
In the second loan Maryland was ap-
portioned s39,oo0,o00 minimum. 3et,-
/ 100000 maximum and subscriptions
amounted to s54,s43,300 or S10,6s6,7s0
! less than the maximum.
! There was no maximum apportjoE-
! ment for the third loan
! Maryland's share Of that loan waa
! S3S, ,259 900 and subscriptions totaled
| $48, ,729,s00 or $10,47o,000 moro than
its allotment. +
! Subscriptions In ali the States COM
prising the Fifth District were larger
| by s91, 1,413,350 for the second loan than
for the first due. no doubt, to the in
| tensive educational campaign conduct
ed especially to impress upon the wage
Garner the importance Of practicing
thrift and investing the savings in Lib
erty Bonds.
While total subscriptions in the Fifth
District for the third loan were nearly
$14,000,000 less than for the second,
they exceeded the frst loan by $76,-
Fifth District for the first Liberty Loan
amounted to s109, 1873, 900; for the sec
ond loan $201,151,7oO subscriptions
for the third loan exceeded the appor-
tionment by s56,259 $50
Many subscribers to the first and
second loans contented themselves
with the belief that they had done
their full duty and refrained from sub
scribing to the third loan.
Every effort will be made during the
fourth loan campaign to impress upon
recalcitrants that 1t is their duty to
subscribe to the limit of their ability
to every loan f1oated by the United
States
1t is estimated that one out OF every
5 II persons in Maryland bought a bond
of the third issue. In Baltimore City
1t is estimated that one in every rs of
the white population bought q bond.
The total number OF subscribers in
the State, including Baltimore City,
was 253.916 Of whom 1T. .43S were resi-
dents of the city and 76,47s were resi-
dents of the county. Only the District
of Columbia exceeded Maryland in per
capita subscriptions. The per capita
subscriptions for the State, outside of
Baltimore City, was $16.9s, while that
for the city was 1896. making the
total for the whole State $S4S1. The
District Of Columbia per capita sub
scriptions was 365. 90; Virginia $20B1;
West Virginia 1884; North Carolina
s10.24; South Carolina $12.1s. The
per capita subscription for the whole
Fifth District was $2026
Maryland also lead in the number
OF subscribers 20 the third loan.
Against its total Of 253,916 was the
District OF Columbia 135.s24: Virginia
173,7S7; West Virginia 1854; North
Carolina 81,58n; South Carolina ST..
9O5, making total OF S5S.3ss. The
percentage of the population OF the
Fifth District subscribing to the loan
was s.34.

Fiscal year 1917-18. $40, 10000 bushels
$4,000, 900 bushels

Increase ......... $4,000 900 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S TO Allied destinations were:
Wheat 131 10000 bushels and of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 144.900,-
900 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
duGing the fiscal year 1861 were:
Wheat 135,10O,00O bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 137 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore, about IA ,O00,-
600 tushels, or a total of 154 100000
bushels of prime breadstuffs In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment of our people
in this matter stands out even more
clearly If we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
20O,00O,0O0 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop. we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread

Meat and Fat Shipments increased by
s44, 100000 Pounds

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,-
100000 bushels of wheat and S44,6 800
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at S1,4O0000,000
This was accomplished in the face of
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President Wilson. explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
ND of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment of
meat during 1918.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,400.00O00O, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administratio These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.

Our Slaughterahle animals at the be-

our farmers.

She Objects to Slang,
So She Plans Better
American Speech" Week

Chicago, ILL.,, June S.-Mrs. Howard
Willett is out organizing a Better
American Speech" week, to begin Oc-
tober q. The reason is, she says, that
there is too much slang being spoken
in America. 1t simply gets her
goat"
She says IL is so bad that business
men tell her they can't make their
stenographer5 understand the most
ordinary expressions. The girls don't
know what they are talking about
unless they use slang.
And the college boys-oh. my. Moth
ing but words CLEANED from the prize
tight ring and the race track. Even
the girls use it, too.
Mrs. Willett's taboo does not apDIy
indiscriminately to all slang. You can
be perfectly good wielder of Ameri-
can and indulge in such expressions
as beat it," cut it out" "over the
top" CamOunage." 'strafe," that
gets my goat" pep" and lounge
lizard"
But you are hopeless if YOU use
these: 20 you Kid" Some girl" 20
Min,' lamps" noodle" COCO"
pipe that and nut"
Anything new and bright is o. X.
Here is the motto: Speak American.
think American and you will be an
American. Speak better American,
think better American and you will
be better American.
