AN APPEAL FROM
FOOD ADMINISTRATION.
Mr.. Hoover Urges The Co.
Operation Of Farmers Of
MARYLAND.

Mr. Herbert Hoover, National Food
Administrator, has sent out the fol-
lowing appeal to the farmers of Mary
land:
In order that we may comply with
the urgent demands of our Allies for
wheat and at the same time take care
of our own domestic supplies we ur-
gently need this year an earlier and
more complete marketing of the
wheat in farmers hands than usual.
The Allies are taking from US fifty
per cent. of other cereals than wheat
TO mix in their bread In as much as
the people in Allied countries and the
soldiers must be fed with bread baked
in bakeries, it is impossible for them
to prepare bread made wholly out of
other cereals, and we must furnish
them with sufficient wheat to main
tain their bakery loaf l therefore
appeal to all of the farmers in the
State of Maryland that they shall
bring all of their wheat except their
necessary reserves for seed to market
before May 1st This is a war call
and a service for Uncle Sam who is
fighting for his life If your local mil
Ter is unable TO buy all the wheat that
is offered, market it in the other Gus
tomary trade channels through which
it will reach the Food Administration
Grain Corporation"

Have You?

Have you ever stopped on a country
road, several miles from the nearest
garage, to change a tire and find you
had either lost or left your tire tool
at home? Then you realize what an
indispensable item of equipment the
lowly tire tool is in fitting a clincher
tire on a rim. Drivers of The B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Co. have solved the
problem by supply by transforming
broken springs into tire tools.
It's a simple process. Here's how
homemade tire tool is made; touch
up, with emery cloth, the thin end of
a very old spring. The old springs
are easily converted into tools, be-
cause of the thin end necessitating
but slight application of the emery
cloth
"A broken spring makes an excel
lent tire tool for a clincher tire" said
one of the Goodrich drivers, "and can
be quickly made by anyone at no ex-
pense. We have found in operating
our fleet of test cars, that tire tools
are misplaced or lost more than any
other tool box item. Since our me-
chanics discovered the spring tool
We always have an ample supply on
hand"

Let There Be Light

The men in charge Of the work for
the blind in Maryland, realize the full
measure of the responsibility that has
been placed upon them. In every sense
OF the word, they are their brothers

searchlight to survey every corner Of
the city and state. The blind children
and youth are sent to the Maryland
School for the Blind, at Overlea. THAI

seen to be appreciated. The adults,
including those educated at the School,
who have reached maturity, and the
many, sightless through accident and
disease, are admitted in the Maryland
Workshop for the Blind, corner Fay
cite and Paca streets, Baltimore, to
the full limit of its capacity.
Furthermore, those. who for various
reasons, cannot go TO the Workshop,
are followed 20 their homes, and care
fully instructed. Miss Virginia Kelly,
the Home Teacher, with experienced
eyes, makes a careful survey of the
needs and possibilities of the blind in
their homes. and as far as is practical,
adapts the instruction to fit the need.
Whenever 1t can be done, a man, los
ing HIS sight in adult life, is encour-
aged to continue in the business IN
which he has previously qualified. Ev
cry possible help is given him, to this
desirable end. Every effort is made
not to put square peg in round
hole and all that kindness and ex-
perience can suggest to encourage and
stimulate the disheartened is done
promptly. The results are wonderful
The work done at home, by the blind,
may be sent to the Maryland Work
shop for the Blind, and sold free Of
any charge. Some of the finest tat
ting, most perfect knitting, etc, are
obtained from his source. In every
case, the blind are taught to read. not
only for the pleasure it gives, but also,
because reading with the finger quick

That increased dexterity results in ev-

ENGLAND'S CALL FOR OUR
TROOPS.

Premier Lloyd George in his mes
sage TO Lord Reading read at ban
quet in New York the other night
urges the vital importance of rushing
American achievements to Europe
lin the shortest possible space Of
time" The battle, says the British
leader, the greatest and most mo-
mentous in the history of the world,
is only just beginning"
There is in this urgent appeal for
American aid no note of hopelessness
or despair There is, on the contrary,
evidenc eof supreme confidence that
the United States will neglect no eff
fort" TO hasten to bring its full power
to bear upon the struggle
We have been sending troops across
the Atlantic recently in increasing
numbers. Estimates of the total of
our forces in England and France can
not be formed by the public. The ex-
act number is known doubtless only
TO very few But that we already
have a large army over there and that
we are sending thousands weekly is
assured We have more ships than
we had three months ago, and those
ships are plying across the Atlantic
as fast as steam can carry them con-
sistently with the need for safety.
Only one of our loaded transports has
been sunk, and that with a relatively
small loss of life.
In the camps in this country are
several hundred thousand men who
have been under training for at least
six months. They are in shape to go
to the front today, perhaps not as well
trained as they should be for the best
service, but sufficiently so to take
their places among the reserves on the
field. That they will be hurried
across as fast as transport can be pro-
vided is TO be assumed.
Lloyd Georges statement that the
battle is only beginning may be in
terpreted as indicating a determine
ton in England, which is plainly evil
denced also by official utterances in
France, TO take advantage of the first
possible moment offered by the enc
my's weakening through furious as
saults to assume the offensive in the
hope of driving home a thrust calcu-
lated to bring Germany to the point of
surrender. 1t is imperative. there
fore, that every possible American sol
der now available should be sent
across. to be ready for action in the

TELEPHONE DONTS
BY c. & P. CO.
Beginning Today Don't Ask The
Exchange Time Of Day Or
Where Fire Is.

Don't in the future ask the tele-
phone girl to tell you the time because
it is too much trouble for you TO walk
into the next room and look at the
clock.
Don't when you hear the firebells
ring Immediately rush 20 the phone
and ask her where the ire Is.
Let all your conversation with Cen
trail in the future be strictly on the
yea and nay Biblical basis
Beginning today, the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company will
put into effect a rule forbidding its
operators to answer any such ques-
tions. This was given out in Balti-
more, but has not been officially an
nounced by the local c. & p.
Why have they done this? Because
the war has put such an extra burden
on the telephone company for one
thing that important messages are
held up while these idle questions are
answered. But there's another rea
son, and that is more important than
the first--the telephone company can't
keep the operators it has because so
many of them get married, and in
spite of the fact that 90 per cent. of
the women in the world want to get
married il can't get new operators.
There are too many lines of business
which women may enter at good pay.
Between the men who marry Cen
trail and the shops and such that Of
fer the young women good positions
before they become Central" the
company is having a hard time hold
ing its force together.
T. T. Cook, publicity manager for
the telephone company, said recently:
I'VE are glad to oblige the public
with answers to such questions in or
binary times. But we must ask their
cooperation in cutting down the calls
now as a war measure"
Mr. Cook did not say anything about
the effect on the number of operators
who carry on conversations not of a
strictly business nature might have
had in the past, nor what effect cut
ting out unnecessary questions might
have on the marrying of Central in
the future.

THE LITTLE TOY FRIENDS ARE
TRUE.

The little toy dog is covered with
dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands.
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Lit
tie Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
If Eugene Field had written moth
ing but Little Boy Blue" we should
still love and cherish his memory. 1t
throbs with the sweetness of human
kindness, the parent love of a father,
the pathos-Of a tOddling child gone TO
eternity too soon. But Mr.. Field wrote
hundreds of poems of child life. We
shall never forget how "Wynken,
Blynken and Nod" sailed away lin a
wooden shoe; sailed on a river of
crystal light, into a sea of dew" Nor
shall we fail to remember how the
bingham dog went bow-wow-wown
and the calico cat replied 'mee-ow'."
MIR Fields works often have been
compared to the poems of James
Whitcomb Riley as both wrote loving
ly of child life. Riley is perhaps the
more popular, and in volume his
verses exceed those of Field, but the
latter died when only forty-five years
old while Riley lived TO enjoy old
age Had Field lived fifteen years
longer we perhaps would have seen
his greatest poem. although we can
imagine nothing more beautiful than
the loving sorrow of Little Boy
blue"
Now, don't you go till come" he
said,
and don't you make any noise!"
So toddling off to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys;
And, as he was dreaming. an angel
song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh! the years are many, the years
are long.
But the little toy friends are true

ARE YOU 4 FIGHTER IN THE
UNITED STATES FOOD
ARMY9

A native of the Sahara Desert would
have hard time picturing to himself
a Susquehanna flood. Midsummer in
Maryland is something beyond the ken
of the average EsQuimau. 1t is not
easy for the farmers of this country
living in the midst of plenty TO
imagine a whole people always in
want and daily on the brink of starva-
ton. 1t doesn't seem possible. Yet it
is more than a possibility is the
truth, applying particularly to France.
There the rations of the soldiers have
been Whitfield down to the last notch
where they can be expected to keep up
their courage and their strength.
And, in the thick of fight where UNI
Tagging pluck counts for so much,
they are harassed with a doubt
whether their women and children are
getting enough to eat. nay, rather
their thoughts are tortured with the
knowledge that they are not.
To America they look for aid.
America has pledged to keep her al
lies supplied with food; but for three
months America has fallen a million
tons Of supplies behind her promise.
Those promises must be kept if the
line is TO be held from Flanders to
the Alps. 1t is not merely a question
of garnering a record harvest next
fall-although that alone is a huge
problem TO confront a population half
rural which is called upon to adjust it
self to meet the changes imposed by
worldwide war. Ii is a question of
h, daily shipment of foodstuffs to
keen our allies going. Shipping short
age demands that the most susten-
anCe be sent in the smallest bulk
that means wheat, wheat, and more
wheat 1t means that by saving and
substitution, by thrift and by thought,
something must be held back from
every loyal Americans meals to feed
the allies who are fighting for democ-
racy beyond the seas.
In the final struggle, the allied ma
tons have staked heavily upon
Americas pledge to meet their need
for food So every day and every
meal there is chance for true patri-
OTIS to save and serve. The soldier
who enters the khaki ranks must wait
year almost before he can strike
blow on behalf of that liberty which
is the national creed of these United
States. Enlist in the great food

in winning the war. Strike a blow at

BOOK LORE.
What The April Magazines Con
tain Of Interest To Readers.


This is all we need to know about
the laws of war as they concern wo-
men in their homes; Give Uncle Sam
and his army the right of way; en-
ploy no unnecessary labor, whether
you can afford it or not; don't waste;
buy what you need when you need it;
make things last longer; save and
lend your savings to the government
so that the war, well fought, may be
over the sooner. 1t is not much, real
ly. Yet it is the complete answer to
the puZzling question, Why not bust
ness as usual, and it contains in it's
spirit the answer to that even more
puzzling, though less financially i'm
portant question, Why not pleasure as
usual?
Recreation is not a luxury; art is
not a luxury. Give the war the right
of way and take all the pleasure that
life affords after that. tits again just
a question of priority in time and
money. If you can not free your maid
for war service and at the same time
leave your home to go to a concert, do
without the concert; if you cannot
buy a share of Thrift Stamps and pay
the price asked for a seat at a good
play. don't go TO the play until the
managers reduce their prices. What
ever the evil gifts which the war car
ries in her land she brings one good
one, the best possible cure for bore
dom, work for idle hands to do.
To thousands of American women
whose leisure was a burden because
they did not understand the priorities
of peace work of war is itself a recre-
alton that takes place of dancing and
cards and restaurants. And the work
of war which is done in the home. and
quiet, unostentious freeing of mater
lals and labor is as important a war
work as nursing or Red Cross service.
Measure your time as you do your
money; leave margin for compan-
ionship and recreation-for whatever
to you is recreation-and then add the
gift of your leisure to the loan of your
savings. Your country needs them
both.-Edith j. r. Isaacs, in Good
Housekeeping.
