Look Out For These Crooks.

Agents in many places are can
wasting from door to door with pub
locations purporting to be issued by
the government, representing that
they have government sanction
They are charging as high as $4.75
for the publication.
No such publications have been
authorized by the government. The
publications issued by the govern
ment are always given away or sold
at cost, or in the case of certain
school text books prepared by the
Food Administration, sold under
contract with the publisher to
charge the price fixed by compe-
tition, ranging from twenty cents to
half dollar.
Anyone who engages in a scheme
such as described is guilty of false
representation if no more. The
cases should be reported to the De-
partment of Justice for action.

President Wilson's appeal last week
for a Democratic Congress to support
him has served to inject the only
spark of life into the campaign that
has been noticeable. And this has
aroused a great deal of adverse
criticism from members of his own
party and brought down bitter Re-
publican censure upon his head.
Whatever else may be said OF the
Presidents appeal it certainly did
.'start something"
The ticket in Cecil county will be
easily voted this year as it contains
only the names of the Democratic
Congressional nominee, Jesse ID.
Price; the Republican Congressional
nominee, William Andrews, and a
constitutional amendment to be
voted for or against, permitting
absent soldiers to cast their ballots
and have them counted in the gen
eral result.

Shells and Seeds For Gas Masks,

Shells and Seeds For Gas Masks.
Do you know two hundred peach
stones will produce sufficient carbon
to protect one of "our boys" from
German gas and seven pounds of nut
shells will do the same? Masks
have been used most successfully;
and with gas mask every Amerit an
soldier is equipped Every soldier
MUST have gas mask-only those
who have seen and felt the horrible
effect that being "gassed" has OH
men can realize the awfulness OF
meeting a cloud unprotected.
Here is list of different materials
needed
Peach stone, cherry seeds, plum
pits, date seeds, prune pits, apricot
pits, cocoanut shells, Brazil nut
shells, butternut shells, hickory nut
shells, walnut shells.
When the gas attack warning
sounds in the trenches, what is your
boy going to do? You have the
answer-in nut shell!
1t is not necessary to keep each
kind of pit or shell separate. Put a
pail in the corner of the kitchen just
for the Government, and as you fill
it turn contents over to the Red
Cross. Any of the materials men
toned, no matter how old, are &C
ceptable, provided they are sound
and thoroughly dried in the oven OF
in the sun before delivery to the Red
Cross.
WILL YOU DO YOUR SHARE TO
GIVE AT LEAST ONE MAN THE
BEST GAS MASK?
A house to house canvass will be
made from November 25th TO De-

you to save material you are now
throwing away. Save all you can;
your cooperation in this work is
most earnestly requested.

Expanding On The inside.

"A four-ton clover crop on one
acre is more valuable than four tons
of weedy grass harvested from four
acres. Running the moving ma
chine half day to get grass enough
for -one good two-horse load is re-
sponsible for more poor farms and
poorer farmers, and for the lack OF
food stuffs to feed our population
than is the scarcity of land suitable
for crop production"
Every man who has run moving
machine under the conditions named
will have a warm spot in his heart
for the editor of New England
Farms, who coined the expression,
"It is wearisome job and one not
calculated to enhance the respect OF
a man for himself or his job
Why do we do it? We love to
harvest a big crop and hate to fool
with poor one. 1t is easier to i'm
prove the hay crop than any other
crop grown. Experiments have
proven that by simply top dressing
the meadow with fertilizer the crop
production may be doubled or
tripled.
1t is hard to understand why we
do it, unless it is because of our de-
lightful American habit of expand
ng-expanding beyond ourselves at
times. This is habit which we
will have to overcome. New condi-
tons, fastened by the Great War,
will compel us to do more of our ex-
banding on the inside in the future.
To compete and measure up with
other industries we must reduce our
overhead cost of production, and
this can only be accomplished by
raising larger crops per acre with
their lower production cost per

United War Work Drive.

Maryland has raised the funds to
equip her soldiers, to fit them out
with munitions, to ship them and TO
feed them and to maintain them
physically on the fighting line. Now
she must minister to their mental
needs. Modern nations have learned
how to value morale both on the
fighting front and on the home front.
The mental tone, the moral vigor,
the well-being and comfort of mind
have been cared for by the several
organizations, the Y. M. C. A., the
knights of Columbus, the Y. w. G.
A., the Jewish Welfare Board, the
War Camp Community Service, the
American Library Association and
the Salvation Army in manner to
win the admiration of our allies and
the commentator of Gen. Pershing,
of Secretary Baker and of President
Wilson. Their support has been
drawn separately from the gener-
osity of each denomination or class.
But War Work of this ministering
nature has entered a new and re-
markable phase. Jew and Gentle,
Catholic and Protestant have merged
their activities, and pooled their re-
sources under the banner of the
United War Work, cooperating fol
the American soldier boy.
Maryland is called upon to raise
$1,5O0,0OO of the 100000 ma
tional fund. Nothing is too good
for the American soldiers. Let us
father and mother the boys through
these ministering agencies.
The promise of an early peace in
no way diminishes the importance OF
this $1,5OO,000 United War Work
Campaign, for it will be at least one
year after the peace, if not two
years, before the soldiers can be re-
shipped from France and in that in
terval, with the incentive and the
discipline of warfare withdrawn and
with the temptions multiplied, the
need for the mental and moral care
of the soldier will be increased, a
matter which is thoroughly under
stood by the American authorities.
other Y. M. G. A., Knights of Co
lumbus, etc., drives for funds will
follow next year. The work is SO
essential, so big, so vital that the
$17O,5OO,O00 national fund is only
half of what is really needed on all
fronts. The real test comes. United
War Work gifts bear no interest
GIVE" is the slogan. This COM
munity will raise it's share, Novem-

FOOD PROBLEM WILL LAST
AFTER WAR is ENDED.

Just as the Maryland Food Adj
ministration advised the public t.
suspect rumors of enemy collapse as
possible traps set by the foe, it now
urges that even well-substantiated
prophecies of the cessation of kostil-
tiles be regarded only as milestones
on Americas triumphal path and by
no means as the goal. Even the ad
vent of peace itself will not straight
way solve this nations food prob
lens.
The program announced by Her.
bert Hoover for next year provides
for an increase of 5,73O,0OO tons in
the amount of foodstuffs we are to
ship to Europe. Though the figures
were basod on the assumption that
active warfare would continue, our
task cannot be materially lightened
even though the foe lays down his
arms. The food shortage will not
end till two things come to pass.
First, millions of fighting men
who are now consumers must be-
come producers again and the world
have time to harvest the crops they
SOW.
Second, the ships now engaged in
the transport of troops and NUM-
tons must be returned to the ordi-
nary routes of commerce.
Whnnnynr
task of repatriating the Allied forces
will be gigantic. 1t may be expect
ed that the "short hauls" will be
the first undertaken; that is, Cen
eral Allenby's force will be returned
from Palestine to India, while the
Saloniki contingents will be shipped
to Naples and Marseilles. The
British Army, to a large extent, may
cross the Channel in men-of-war, but
as for the Canadians and Austral-
ians-almost million of them
passenger ships will be needed to
carry them to their homes. AS
most Of these have seen three or
four years service, the U. S. a.,
despite its Impotence to have its
own boys back, will no doubt gener-
ously yield to their prior claim upon
the transportation facilities. 1t may
be added that the majority OF our
troops were either carried or con-
voyed by the ships of our allies.
OF our Sammies, a popular song
declared ''They won't come back till
it's over, over there" 1t is highly
probably that they will remain
abroad till the final settlement is
affected. Thus it will be MANY
months before we shall see Business
as Usual.
Then too the declaration of peace
will bring to us the necessity of pro-
vlding food stuffs for additional
starving millions in Central Europe.
Not only will Germany be herself a
customer in the food markets of the
world, but we shall find it necessary
TO supply food to starving Poland,
certain regions in Russia, and the
thousand if not millions of Ger
many's subject people. There is
every prospect therefore that the
declaration of peace will leave still
tremendous shortage in the worlds
food supplies which America must
largely make up from her own re-
serves.
Whatever happens, whether peace
comes or whether war continues,
our food supply for another year
and probably for two years, must
undergo the most serious drain in
our history. America must learn
to conserve food, to use it wisely, to
waste nothing, or otherwise large
portions of the civilized population
OF the world will suffer the pangs
of famine.

There is spirit of retaliation every
where. The front line trench, from
which the gas attack came, was defin-
itely located yesterday, also a eleverly
eamOuflaged trench, where there are
other minewerfers being erected. The ar
tiliery has advised pounding them with
heavy artillery Thursday.
Poor visibility, due to a mist and
rain, prevented any great artillery fire
Wednesday. American guns are still
laboring under a handicap, owing to
lack Of sufficient observation. There
are no American aeroplanes here and
the number the French have supplied is
inadequate. -Four German planes flew
leisurely oyer an important village
Tuesday, made observations at their
pleasure and then went away before
French planes arose to give chase. Ger
man planes continually fly across the
American lines.

finish of the private s story regarding
the man running down the trench de
hrious with pain and sHffoeatiOn.
He ran baTefOoted through the com

roads to a village more than a mile
away. There he dropped unconscious. He
is believed to be among the dead.
The official casualties announced are
the same as the United Press figures

was brought in late Wednesday.
But two of those in the hospital will
probably die. They have only a fight
