New York, July 1s.-(Special)-- )--Few showers are reported from the northwest portion of Texas, so that the local stu- dents of weather conditions think II likely that with the winds from the east these showers may extend over rhe state despite the government prediction of fair weather. On small transactions the Mar lxet closes somewhat lower, but with no conviction as to lower prices. On the contrary, the local trade expect mere accounts of deterioration of the crop from all sections, as we can hardly ex pect better conditions than those existing on the first of the month. II vas no- ticeable that July's were for sale at the extreme difference over October they have reached, The course of prices de- bends entirely upon the weather condi- tions. nothing else is of any weight. Com plaints are received of too cool nights in the Atlantic states.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Everybody with car should help that fellow out with his Elberta peach crop above Warrior. His ad in The Age-H srald reals as follows: "Elbs srta peaches soc bushel at the orchard. Now ripe. On pike road, just five miles beyond Warrior. You can't miss the place. Drive your car out and fill 1t up"
 He chose The Age Herald to adver- tise the fruit in, so let's show him it pays to use space in the morning paper. Don't let the crop spoil During these strenuous war times it seems proper to me to help him out on Sunday.

Good Demand for Horses the Farm and Preside writ

In the Farm and Ffreside . writer says:
 Sound. good-looking, bold-going. easy keeping. and durable heavy horses are in demand. Such horses not only meet the demands for efficiency and economy in farming operations, but also sell high on the open market. leaving good profit above the cost of production.
 There are farms where motive power costs absolutely nothing. Big. active horses are broken to harness during the winter befor.. they reach three years or age. The geldings are sent to market when they are five or six years old. 10 make room for younger horses. The in- crease in value between the time they are broken and the time they are sold will usually pay for their feed. making the service they have rendered cost nothing"

 A Jewish University
 Discussing plans for Jewish !inl- versity in Palestine, Benjamin Ginz- burg says in the New Republic:
 ..The Jewish university will not be merely an institution to offer higher learning to the Jewish population which will be resident in Palestine. IL will have to take upon itself the large work of fostering the new Jewish spirit It will be world university, an international university, which will serve all Jews from all nations. It will have to imbue them all with the new Jewish consciousness which is being created in Palestine Only in this nan ner can Zionism at all attempt to solve the Jewish poblem. Palestine has moi room for inore than 100000 Jews so that the great mass of the Jewish race will perforce have to remain in the Diaspora. But what the Zionists hope to do is to create in Palestine & great Jewish center which will unite and actively inspire the Jewish peo- pie of the entire world.

FRIDAY, JANUARY s5, 1918.

The whiskey crowd of Baltimore
and the State, backed by the Balti-
more daily press, is putting up an
awful howl about the constitutional
amendment to prevent the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor The meas
ure is to be voted on by the present
General Assembly for ratification,
but the whiskeites are doing every
thing in their power to prevent its
Introduction. The subsidized Balti-
more press is backing them UP with
column after column Of misstate-
ments, and at the same time shaking
the wet ring down for goodly sums
in big scare head advertisements tell
ing the general public what crime
against Personal Liberty" the pro-
hibition amendment is.
The law-abiding people of our
State are getting good and tired OF
the whiskey ring dominating our
State politics, helped along by the
bull-dozing Baltimore dailies, and
are going to drive the bunch out by
insisting on their representatives
REPRESENTING them and ratifying
the amendment. The wet crowd
realize it is the beginning Of the end
and are in a panic.
Their lobby and corruption fund
have done wonders in shaping
legislation at Annapolis and the peo-
pie are thoroughly Disguised and de-
termined that an end shall be put to
it. The handwriting is plain, and
spells a driving out of the State OF
the whole whiskey bunch.

II Had To Come.

1T is probable that but for the
war the prohibition amendment
could not have got through the
House at the present time. Yet it
was bound to come in time. A slow
" accommodating feeling and demand
for such action have long been plain
to students of American political
tendencies. The economic argument
against liquor-drinking, the indus
trial argument, the social argument,
have been making converts by the
thousands in all parts of the coun-
try. Motives have been mixed. We
know what they have been in the
Southern States, for example, where
laws in opposition to the personal
habits of the very men who enacted
them have been adopted for the sake
Of protection against the abuse Of
liquor by the working classes. There
have been Inconsistencies of legis-
lation on the subject, and greater
Inconsistencies of practice. Yet, on
the whole, the movement for con-
stitutional prohibition has been
gathering irresistible force. Calm
observers have for long time been
convinced that the amendment
would surely be submitted to the
States. = The Evening Post New
York.

A Message To The Farmers.

Hoover's Assistant urges the
Maryland Agricultural Society to
back mp Soldiers.
Frederick Walcott, assistant Food
Administrator, plainly and forcibly
told the farmers of Maryland that
they have part to play in the war,
as we'll as the man who shoulders a
gun.
He warned all of the penalty OF
laxity in providing crops not only
for Americans at home, but for those
now on foreign soil ready to do bat
tie. He has travelled all over the
section devastated by war and
through other parts OF Italy, France.
Russia, and England. He studied
carefully the civilian conditions, as
well as the needs OF the armies, and
is familiar with every nation in
Europe.
Mr.. Walcott drew startling pic
ture Of the conditions among the
farmers of Poland after the country
had been overrun by the German
soldiers. Hundreds of thousands OF
Polish farmers, he said, were lying
along the roads starving. Crows,
he said. left only clean bones after a
few weeks, and the German military
organizations came along with huge
automobile trucks and swept up the
human bones Of the former inhabit-
ants and ground them into fertilizer.
In Italy, France, and England, he
said, there is a shortage of wheat,
meats, and sugar, and all of these
articles the American farmer could
help to supply. One-fifth of the
wheat produced in the United States,
he added, is needed by the Allied
countries, and he pointed to this as
a stimulus to the farmers Of Mary
land to produce more grain than
ever before in the coming year.

Suggestions For Saving Coal.

Among the suggestions for saving
coal are the following which have
been prepared by the Committee on
Coal Conservation of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States:
Conserve Eclectic Light; electric cur
rent usually comes from coal
Consult your dealer as to the most
economical types of lamps suitable
to your conditions and fixtures. A
25-watt lamp used instead of a
40-watt lamp saves at least an
ounce of coal every two hours.
Turn Lights OF When Not Needed;
If 25-watt lamp or an ordinary
gas light is turned off, even for
short intervals the aggregate saw
ing may easily be an ounce of coal
for each lamp.
Discard Carbon Filament Lamps;
substituting a 25-watt tungsten
lamp for 16-candle-power carbon
filament lamp provides a better
light and saves two or three ounces
of coal every day.
Burn Gas In Nantes, Not In Flat
Flame Burners; the old fashioned
flat-fiamed gas light burner uses
more than twice as much gas as a
mantle burner giving more light.
Each mantle burner substituted
for. flat-hame burner will save
probably not less than an ounce
of coal day.
Uac Substitute Fuel; many kinds OF
fuel are available to supplement
the coal supply. The waste ma
terial. such as "hog chips" Of lum-
Der mills. as well as brush wood,
broken boxes. corn cobs, ETC., may
be pressed into service.
Attend To The fabrication OF Ma
chinery; drop Of oil will often
save an ounce of coal. Careful
attention to the fabrication Of all
working parts of machinery will
save many pounds of coal in the
day.
Do Not Supes-Heat Rooms; observ-
ing tho thermometer and turning
of radiators to hold the tempera-
ture below 20 degrees reduces the
load on the heating plant.
Conserve All Heat and Power; keep
in mind that every loss Of heat or

power is loss of coal. A leak II
a steam connection and a super
heated Office room are alike thu
cause of wasted coal. Keeping q
heavy power unit in operation
when lighter one would carr
the load wastes coal, and so doe
all unnecessary use of electrit
elevators in Office buildings.
Use Weather Stripping and storm

Storm windows in offices, schools
and all buildings that are heated

Discourage Electric Display ITluni
nation; this use of coal is not alb
solutely necessary. The genius
for advertising which originated
this excellent method of display
should find temporarily othe
means of expression. Eliminating
or foregoing an electric sign ma!
save tons of coal year.

Untaxed war Profits In Washington.

Untaxed War Profits In Washington.
When Congress voted to tax ex-
cess war profits, it overlooked some
very heavy gains of that kind right
under its nose. The Washington
correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor tells in the issue of
January Of what the war is bring
ing to the landlords OF that city. In
the past two months, says the cor
respondent, rents have increased
more than 100 per cent. The war
has made necessary so many thou
sands of new employees that the city
is overcrowded and it is next to i'm
possible to lease house.
Landlords insist on month-to-
month contracts with power to in
crease rents on 80 days notice.
How this power is used is illustrated
in a case Of one house in the suburbs
where inside of month the rent
vas Increased from $35 to $65, and
the tenant, being unable to pay, was
dispossessed.
At the same time immense
stretches of land within the city are
vacant. III these were properly built
upon, the house famine would be
ended. But the owners prefer to
ask enormous prices and until some
one pays them the lots remain un-
used.
These war profits are not taxable
under the war revenue act, The
income tax affects in some degree
The increase in house rents, but the
increased value of vacant land is en-
tireiy exempt, Congress has a brill
liant opportunity to correct very
bad mistake. VIII 1t take advantage
of it?
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1918-01-25
Logic Compelled It.

"War-efficiency and the liquor
traffic have been treated in all be
ligerent countries as irreconcilabl
enemies. Every military admins
traitor recognizes this. Congress
recognized it when it Inserted in th
selective CONSUMPTION law provision
sorbidding the sale OF alcoholic
liquors to soldiers and sailors. And
when Congress went that far it ad.
mitted the logic Of attempting to
check or abolish the use of intoxi
eating liquors in every other field of
war-effort, in the industrial sphere
as well as in the fighting zones and
