CLOSING OF INDUSTRIES IN THE
EAST TO GIVE FUEL TO THE
PEOPLE AND RAILROADS

With the approval of President
Wilson. DIR. Garfield, Fuel Admin
istrator. Wednesday night issued
the most drastic and far-reach-
ing order that has come to the
American people since the war
began. Under this order, which
goes into effect this Friday
morning, all industrial establish
ments East of the Mississippi
will be closed down for five days.
This will apply even to those es-
Establishments engaged in the
making of war munitions. Be-
ginning next week, every Mon
day will be an industrial holiday
and all establishments included
in the fve-day order must be
closed. This will apply also to
office buildings and to a certain
grade of stores. Newspapers
are included in this retrench-
ment and will be allowed to issue
only a limited number of edl-
tions. DR.. Garfield estimates
that he can make saving OF
millions of tons Of coal by this
order and during this period coal
will be supplied only to railroads,
households, public utilities, ships,
environments, naval stations and
nublic buildings. Banks and
trust companies are not included
in the order, unless State cover
nors specifically declare they
shall be included.
Officials who worked out the
curtailment plan came to the
conclusion, that the homes must
be kept warm at all costs Re-
ports have poured into the Fuel
Administrations offices for days
past telling of intense suffering
in many parts Of the country.
Some of the largest cities OF the
Fast have run so short of fuel
already that local fuel officials
have stopped industrial activity
to provide homes with coal.

A MESSAGE TO THE FARMERS.

In an address to the Maryland
Agricultural Society at its recent
meeting in Baltimore, Frederick
Walcott, assistant to Food Adj
ministrator Hoover, 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 battle. He has travelled
all over the section devastated
by war and through other parts
of Italy, France, Russia and
England and studied carefully
the civilian conditions and the
needs of the armies.
Mr.. Walcott drew a. starting
picture of the conditions among
the farmers of Poland after the
country had been overrun by the
German soldiers. Hundreds cf
thousands of. Polish farmers, he
said, w re lying along the roads
starving. Crows left only clean
bones after a few weeks and the
German military organizations
GENE along with huge automobile
trucks and swept up the human
bones of the former inhabitants
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-ffth of the wheat produced
in the United States, he added,
is needed by the Allied countries,
and he pointed to this as a slim
illus to the farmers of Maryland
to produce more grain than ever
before in the coming year.

MASH MIXTURES CHEAPEST

College Park. Md. June 21.-N-
though egg prices are nearly double
what they were a year ago, the cost
Of grain feeds has advanced even more
and poultrymen are facing failure I'M
less cheaper feeds can be made use OF.
Poutryman Roy II. Waite, Of the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, in a circular to the poultry keep
ers Of the State. calls attention to the
change in price levels and urges the
adoption Of mash feeding. Mr.. Waite
says:
"In June, 1914, eggs were 10 cents .
dozen. according to the quotations OF
Q Baltimore commission man. In June,
1917, they were quoted at SO cents q
dozen, an advance Of 80 per cent. since
the war began.
'"This is the part the consumer ssss,
and he is all too prone to judge that
he Ia being held up by the poultry rails
srs. packers. or middlemen. He does
not come in contact with the increased
cost Of feed.
"Tn June. 1914, a Baltimore whole
sale feed dealer quoted wheat at $1.0T
per bushel. In June. 1917, he quotes
wheat at $2.70 per bushel, 162 per
cent. increase. Long ago, the poultry
raisers who keep books gave US the
use of whole wheat a. q feed for poul

an June, 1914, corn was quoted nj
81 cents bushsl. In June, 1917. IT is
quoted at S1.91 . bushel, ia per cont
advance. Where does the poultry
raiser get his profit with his 30 Per
cent increase in the price Of eggs
There Is only one thing for him to do.
He cannot boost the price Of eggs,
and he cannot bring down the price OF
corn and wheat; the only thing he can
do is to substitute a cheaper ration. II
he can find one. Just at present there
seems to be an avenue Of escape from
the excessive high cost Of feeds In the
use of mill by-products.
Bran, in June. 1914, sold at S1.40

Middlings, in June, 1914, were quoted

part Of the wheat for feeding purposes.
and by making extensive use Of them
poultrymen can replace their wheat
and still get feed that will help bring
down their total cost somewhere near
place where they can make q normal
profit.

in normal times 10 much the most e1-

THE ANSWER OF A GREAT
DEMOCRACY.

War Savings Stamps are the
answer of a great Democracy to
the demand for a, democratic
form of government security.
They are little baby bonds. !"
Like Liberty Bonds, they have
behind them the entire resources
Of the government and people of
the United States. They have
the additional advantage that
they steadily increase in value
from the date of purchase until
the date of maturity, and this in
crease is guaranteed by the gov
eminent.
If the holder of a War Savings
Certificate finds it necessary to
realize cash on it before matur-
ity, he may at any time after,
January 2, 1913, upon giving 10
days written notice to any
money order postoffice. receive
for each stamp affixed to his GER
tifcate the amount paid there
for, plus l cent for each ealen-
dar month after the month of
purchase of each stamp. A reg
istered certificate may be re-
deemed. however, only at the
pestoffice where registered.
A country worth fighting for
is a country worth saving for.
To save money is to save life.
Buy War-Savings Stamps and
strike a blow for our county.

A movement has been inaugurated
here, and has grown to considerab BILE
proportions, to form an association
composed of the families and the
near relatives of those Bourbon bow
who have given their lives to the
cause of Democracy, the principal
object Of which is to purchase a lot
in the Paris Cemetery. After the
peace articles have been signed and
the bodies of the men who have been
killed in action lover there" have
returned to their native land, it is
proposed that they be inferred in one
last resting place and their graves
marked by an imposing memorial,
the nature of which has not been as
yet definitely decided. The project
has met with unqualified approval of
almost everyone in the city and
county. A fund started for that pur-
pose some time ago has grown to
large proportions. The originator of
the project, a man who has himself
suffered the loss of one dear to him
said:
Il know it to be a fact that there
are families in Bourbon county who
have lost member of their family
in the war for freedom who are
financially unable to erect over the
body Of their loved one a lasting
monument typical of their love and
devotion. 1t is for those / would like
to see this project brought to a sue
cessful conclusion. While my family
and others who have suffered loss
might be able to erect a monument
in their family lot, there are a num-
Der who cannot, many of them not
being even able to purchase a lot,
the consequence being that their SOL
der dead would have to be in a
single grave, perhaps in some remote
corner of the cemetery, with nothing
to show that beneath the mound of
earth reposed the remains of one
who gave his life for his country.
