Imagination and led to the writing OF
Robinson Crusoe.
Captain Rogers book, in which the
adventures of Sclkirk were told, was
also the inspiration, or rather the text,
nt toWpcr'S poem. which is gencrally
called Solitude" but which the poet,
In what was fashion in the eighteenth
century. called "Nerscs Supposed to BE
Written by Alexander S"llirk During
His Solitary Abode In the Island OF
Juan Fernandez"
A literary man who took up the con
noCtion between Sclkirk'S adventure
and Dcioc'S story of Robinson CruSoe
has written this:
"Thprc was more than enough of
nudge for Dcfoc, for 'owprr, f"t
scores of others. Eut Dcfoe never got
his hero. Robinson Crusoc, round the
Horn or into the Pacific at all; ho

ed him in Africa, sent him rs Il planter
to the BrazilS'--aS he always plura.
Lies the name-and finally blew him
north, shipWreCkcd again on nn island
which Defoe carefully labeled on the
title page of the first edition as being
'at the mouth of the mighty Orinoco,
n continent and parts of two oceans
removed from Juan Fernandez"
The Island of Tabago in the Garth
bean archipelago was mentioned by
one writer as the island of CruSoe, but
Tabago north of the Trinidad, Is too
far from the mouth of Orinoco to
agree with what CruSoe says of the
location Of his island Louis Rhead,
In preface to one edition OF Robin
son CruSoe, wrote: "A map has been
prepared to show the real location,
which is at the mouth of the Orinoco,
thirty miles northwest Of Trinidad, an
island lying just in the Caribbean
archipelago. The island is now known
as Tabago."
A good many distinguished writer's
have mistaken the Island OF Ju2n Fer
nandez for the island of Robinson cru
soc, and among them was X. II. DANA
ir.. who, in his "Two Years Before the
Mast" wrote that he saw the Island
of Juan Fernandez ."rising like a deep
blue cloud out Of the sea" when his
brig the Pilgrim, was seventy miles
away. After the briggs stop at the
island Mr.. Dana wrote: 81 gave 1t
parting look and bid farewell to the
most romantic spot of earth my eyes
had ever seen because Of the associ-
utions which every one has connected
with 1t in their childhood from reading
Robinson CruSoe."

NEED MORE WHEAT TO WIN
HOOVER ISSUES APPEAL

1T Is imperative that all thos>
whose circumstances permit shall alb.
stain from wheat in any form until
the next harvest" That Ia the key
note of Mr.. Hoover's appeal issued
from the pulpits on Sunday to the
Tree American people. There Is no
blinking the truth; the call ID clear.
In the past, presentation Of the facts
has been enough to rouse the nation
to meet all necessary requests. To-
day, although the need Is more acute,
there is still no compusion.
That would be the Prussian-not
the Amencan-way.
The fact is thus put by Mr.. Hoover:
"lf we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements OF our armies and
the Allies and the suffering millions
In the Allied countries, our cOnsump-
ton until the next harvest must be
reduced to onethird of normal. For
each of US who can personally contri-
butte to the relief of human suffering
1t Is a privilege, not sacrifice"
The Maryland Food Administration
does not need to plead Mr.. Hoover's
case, II Is confident that the citi-
Zenry, in face Of a direct and unequi-
vocal appeal for even greater wheat
thrift. will vouchsafe response
measuring fully up to the traditions
and ideals of this State. The phrase,
Wheat is the Test" Is no mere catch
word. 1t is a vital truth that should
burn its way into each individual con-
science ut is inconceivable that we
should fail in this crisis" declares
Herbert Hoover. at is inconcelvable."
adds State Administrator Baetjer.
that Marylanders, men, women and
children, could be so ensaved to Gus
tom or convenience that they should
make unneeded inroads on that scanty
store Of wheat upon which our Allies
and our own fighting flesh and blood
depend not for mere comfort, but for
very existence.
The public eating places have been
urged to practice wheat-saving to an
extent that will satisfy not only the
law OF the land, but also the con-
science of their proprietors. Their re-
sponse shows a willingness to "go the
limit" But IT is In the homes that
seven-eighths OF the country's food
stuffs are consumed. and with full
faith in the active loyalty of all true
citizens, the Maryland Food Admin
istration makes appeal for mani

certain seasons of the year such as
during. seeding time in the spring and
also during the fall blowing. Farm
ers that use during these seasons as
many as ten horses say that a good
barn for them is the best kind of
economy. 1t keeps the horses in fine
condition and makes it easy to regu-
late their feed and take care of them
so that they can work ten hours a day
if necessary.
BY building a special barn it is pos
sible to provide the various conven-
fences such as feeding devices, manure
carriers, etc., that help in making the
handling and conditioning of the AMI
mails very easy work.
The stable should be large enough
TO hold the horses that are needed
during the busy season. Concrete is
not satisfactory material as a gen.
eral rule for the stalls of horse stables
as shod horses are apt to slip and per-
haps injure themselves. 1t is very de-

and both the horse and cow stalls are
arranged and built according to the
best farm building practices.
Stables Well Lighted.
1t will be noticed that there are a
good many windows placed to light
the stables from every direction. Light
in modern stable is one of the most
noticeable improvements. Old-fash-
toned dark, dingy stables were dirty
and loaded down with foul air. Pure
bred valuable farm animals have
caused the change.
Building barns to stable animals
worth from 500 up is a different
proposition from the old buildings
that were considered good enough to
stable animals worth from $50 down.
The high opening through the shed
is the entrance to the barn. This ar
rangement gives convenient thrash
ing floor for oats when the crops are
heavy and overflow the other barns.

sirable to provide a material that can
be washed down in the same way as
concrete and yet provides surface
that is resilient and that will not be-
come slippery.
Two Good Flooring Materials.
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One is the cork
brick and the other is the treated wood
block. The wood block is in various
forms and is treated with many diff
ferent substances of which the most
common is creosote.
Cork brick is made of granulated
cork which is mixed with refined as
pEalt and then pressed under heavy
pressure into a brick. The brick is
very resilient and never becomes Slip
perry and can be washed down with a
hose as it is waterproof.
The brick are laid up in half-inch
Portland cement cushion and the joints
between the brick are grouted.
In some horse barns a floor of this
type is laid over the complete barn
but in most cases a concrete floor is
placed in the barn outside of the
stalls.
