THE ELECTION.

30 wholly has the war occupied
the public mind that the usual in
terest of the voter could not be
aroused in the election this fall
despite the frantic appeals of party
leaders, the vote being light one
throughout the country.
On the strength of incomplete re
turns, Wednesday morning, the &c
publicans claim to have gained
enough Congressman to insure them
control of the House in the next
Congress.
Republican gains in the Senate
are also claimed, reducing the Dem
ocratic majority in the upper housF
from eight votes to two.
In Maryland, where Congressman
alone were voted for, the Republi-
cans gained one seat in the House o.
Representatives, Jesse d. Price
Democrat, of the First District, be
ing defeated by w. N. Andrews, Re
publican, and the State will be repre-
sented in the next Congress by threc
Democrats and three Republicans.

What About Farm Crop Prices LII
1919.

This is a question which is claim
ing a great deal of interest among
farmers. AS long as the war keeps
up they know there will be no dan
ger of falling prices for farm pro
duce But now the word peace
is in the air, and it becomes mora
insistent as time goes on.
Suppose the war should end sud
denly? Will the price of farm pro
duce fall sharply? Hardly. Most
of Europe has not had a real square
meal for a long time, and it will be
a year or more before they get back
to anything like normal production
for themselves.
Imagine the golden welcome which
the first ship that ties up at Ham
burg with a load of bacon Will re-
ceive. And Holland and Sweden
and Spain and Austria and the rest
of them are all waiting for the day
when they can again buy of good
things to eat.
Once the shipping lanes to Europe
are opened wide, there will be a de-
mand for food products such as this
country has never seen. 1t will noe
last forever, but there is no danger
for next year.

MORE SUGAR ALLOWED.
Three Instead of Two Pounds a
Month.

Beginning Nov. l the amount OF
sugar allowed each person has been
increased from two to three pounds
per month, and the existing regula-
lions are further revised so that any
person may purchase the whole
monthly allowance at one time; that
is to say, the head of any family
may purchase the months supply
for the entire family in one purchase
from the retail stores on the basis
of three pounds for every member
of the family.
This relaxation of the two-pound-
a-month order is due to the rapid
manufacture of the new crop beet
sugar in the West and the new crop
Louisiana cane sugar in the South,
together with the free railway trans
portation conditions, the reductions
that have been made in the con
sumption of sugar in the manufac-
turing stage. as well as the patriotic
conservation of the American people
in the past four months.
The Sugar Distribution Division
requests dealers and public eating
places NOT to make special appli-
cation for the extra pound per
person.

War Emeg gency Poultry Federation.

War Emeg gency Poultry Federation.
The War Emergency Poultry Fed
Grafton, organized last July in Chi
cago by representatives of the poui-
try industry of the whole country, is
at present making drive for mem
bership in all the States. The OBJ
ject of the federation is to aid the
Government in every material way
possible in keeping the poultry in
dustry ON a sound basis, something
very essential to all concerned, and
also to assist in the solutions of
those problems concerning the in
dustry which war has caused. Mary
lands quota in this drive for MEM
bership is 800, but the State should
furnish at least 500 members. The
membership fee is $1.00 The work
of the federation is badly needed al
this time, in the State as we'll as the
Nation Maryland should come up
to expectations in the drive, for hel
poultry industry is of such proper
lions that it cannot we'll afford to
neglect it.
Further information in regard tc
the federation may be obtained from
your County Agent or from II. w.
Hickey, Poultry Specialist of the
Extension Service.

state officials Get More Salary.

otsttC OIilCkdAS UcU AOEo SaAdFys
Higher costs of almost everything
have brought about a revamping of
many of the appropriations to the
various State institutions and dc
partments of the State government,
and Governor Harrington has just
concluded giving his approval to the
changes and sending them TO TIL
State Comptroller.
The greatest trouble has been
about salaries, and in some of tb 9
departments increases had to be al
lowed to hold the employees. II
the case of the Public Service Com
mission the salary increases of en-
ployees approved by the Governor
was from $77,340 to $4,000, or a
total of $500. This amount was
taken from the expense account
which was thereby reduced from
$2S,3S0 year to $22,670.
1t was at first thought that under
the budget law money appropriated
for expenses could not be used to in
SiOooO oaidliCo, UuI dltSI TSduiHS al
opinion given the Public Service
Commission by William Cabell
Bruce, its general counsel, the Gov
ernor decided that the change
could be made and approved them
though not to the full extent asked
by the Commission.
The law gives the right to make
the changes, but only with the writ.
ten approval of the Governor, which
must be certified to the Comptroller.
Many of the departments have made
changes, but the Governor said the
salary increases in most instances
were not large.

About Group.

If your children are subject to
Group, or if you have reason to fear
their being attacked by that disease,
you should procure a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
study the directions for use, so that
in case of an attack you will know
exactly what course to pursue. This
is favorite and very successful
remedy for Group, and it is import
ant that you observe the directions
carefully.

Farms For Returning Soldiers.

The Committee on Public Lands
of the Senate has unanimously re
ported in favor of bill appropria-
ting million dollars to make sur
yeys of farms for returning soldiers.
The proposed legislation is for the
purpose of providing an opportunity
to procure homes for those of our
returning sailors and soldiers who
may wish them upon their return
from the war, as we'll as giving a
like opportunity to thousands OF
workers in munitions factories and
other war industries who at the con-
clusion of the war will be out of en-
ployment. 1t is intended to pro.
mote as nothing else ever has the
