FRICTION in FAMILY is FATAL

fitted to enter upon the work of life
is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and 1t Is almost never that young
person will give as a reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.
Friction In the home creates an In.
tangible. impalpable atmosphere in
which the sensitive child chokes and
pants for the free air of happiness,
or Is warped and stunted mentally and
morally. ---,.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Appeal From The Governor OF
Maryland.

To the Editor of The Republican.
have been requested by the Mary
land Council of Defense and by the
Employment to aid them in the impor-
tant work of supplying to the farmers
of Maryland, during the crop season of
the present year, sufficient farm labor
for the harvesting of their crops.
Maryland farmers have responded to
the worlds great need for food by
planting larger crops and more extern
sive acres this year than ever before,
and the time is rapidly approaching
when some of these will be ready to be
harvested, while the need continuously
exists for the cultivation of growing
crops.
Farm labor in Maryland this year is
at present short 5000 laborers, and this
shortage must be made up somehow if
the crops are to be successfully harvest
ed.
To aid IN this work is the patriotic
duty of all persons who are capable of
helping, and who can, even at personal
inconvenience and sacrifice, arrange to
do so.
The urgency and necessity of this
work is so great that, in obedience to
the request of the Maryland Council of
Defense and of the Federal State Di-
rector of Labor and Employment, | ad-
dress this appeal to the people of Mary
land, asking and urging all who can as
sist in this important work of crop cul-
tivation and harvesting to do so, and /
address this appeal especially to resi-
dents of Baltimore and other cities of
our State who are employed in the
cities and who will take one or more
weeks vacation during the summer,
which customarily would be spent in
the country, requesting that these va
cation periods be devoted to work on
the farms of the State. helping in the
cultivation and harvesting of crops.
Proper pay and compensation will be
made by the farmers to all persons who
will so help, and by this means vacation
periods can be turned to theprofit of both
the volunteers who help and to the
farmers.
Persons are requested to register for
this service at as early date as possible
at the United States Public Reserve
Office. 26 Commerce street, Baltimore,
at the branch offices of the Reserve in
Cumberland, Hagerstown, Salisbury,
and with the Postmasters of all other
towns throughout the State.
Our boys have answered the call to
duty, to service. They must be fed,
as must our Allies "over there"
This appeal is call to duty to all
who can help.

Starch Being Sold for Human
Consumption.

To the Editor of The Republican.
1t has come to our attention that GER
tain INSCRIPTIONS millers and others
are placing on the market as food for
human consumption, laundry starch
under various brand names such as
Corn Flour, Corn Starch Flour, Corn
Starch, etc.
This commodity, which is technically
known as Pearl starch. is used in
laundries and in textile industries and
it was determined by the Department
of Agriculture sometime ago that it is
unfit for human consumption and delet-
erIous to health.
Will you kindly d. everything pos
sible to see that the marketing of Pearl
or Powdered starch under any desig-
nation as food for human consumption,
is stopped.
Under our recent rulings no starch of
any kind may be sold in the United
States tor domestic or export use,
branded as Corn Flour or with any
other name in which the words corn
and flour appear,
This letter does not refer to EDIBLE
corn starch produced and marketed as
such by reputable starch manufactures.

from shore, as to render their ultimate
rescue very doubtful, and at best, to
guarantee them days of intense suffer
ing.
The fact is that German humanity
has often inflicted on its victims such
tortures that it would have been more
human to have drowned them at once.
Then they built larger boats and ex-
tended their operations farther. The
Caithness was destroyed $40 miles from
land and 38 lives lost. One was sent
down 329 miles from land. The Fran
coma was destroyed 1876 miles out and
IL lives lost. Many of these boats
were never heard from and no man will
ever know the extent of the suffering
entailed on helpless and innocent vic
tins.
But why continue the recital. The
reckoning day Is coming. The righteous
God and Ruler of the universe will
meet out to this nation which in its
pride and arrogance is running amuck
among the nations of the world. An
equitable punishment. 1t is coming. 1t
will come. 1t must come. Right shall
have the victory. So keep up your
courage and do what you can to win the
war.

THE IMPERATIVE OBLIGATION.
All those final days of teaching and
reteaching kept the eyes of the Dis
ciples turned out toward the world.
They had been trained and given such q
revelation of the Father that they
might carry 1t into the ends of the
earth. The steps were indicated lead
ing from Jerusalem. to Judea, to
Samaria, to the uttermost parts and
this was His last direction. They had
been made rich in order that they
might know no rest until all men had
shared their wealth. The old Greek
pictured Atlas with the sky on his
shoulders, Jesus rolled the world upon
the heart of His followers. Well did
He know their need and He thewed
their soul sinews by the weight they
lifted joyously for sheer love of HIM.
Only as we realize the imperative obi
cation as did they shall we share the
results they saw follow their Easter
day, the conquest of their world.
