ANOTHER BIG INDUSTRY
FOR CAMP PAROLE
New Canning Factory To Be Built By
Charles Wachter Work Begins
Monday-Ihomas S. Barrow
Local Representative

A new canning factory that prom
ises to be larger in size and have a
larger output than any hitherto built
in Anne Arundel County, will shortly
begin operation here, at Parole, near
Annapolis.
On Monday work will begin on the
erection of the plant, and from 25 to
80 laborers will begin digging founda-
tion and helping to build the factory.
The main building will be so by 80
feet, and the building will be two
stories in height.
The owner and protector of the en-
terprise is Charles Wacker, of Balti-
more, who is experienced in this line,
and has recently sold his canning fac
tory at Betterton for $4,000 to a
New York concern.
Mr.. Wacker has appointed Mr.
Thomas S. Barrow, of Parole, as his
local representative. The contract
for the building has been awarded to
Edward Johnson, of Edgewater, who
will push the work to completion, but
the workmen will only be engaged as
day laborers, there will be no night
work
All kinds of vegetables and fruits
will be canned, but a speciality will
be made of tomatoes, which will be
of the pulp variety, although the old
fashioned kind of canned tomatoes
will be put up as well.
Manager Wacker has already con-
tracted for 300 acres of tomatoes.
George Wiley, of Patuxent Station,
will install the machinery in the new
canning factory at cost of $4,000
1t is expected to employ about one
hundred people in the cannery when
it is in operation. The price to be
paid for tomatoes is 60 cents pei
bushel, an advance of 20 cents over
last year, when the best tomatoes
only brought 40 cents per bushel.
The new canning factory promises
to open up a line of work for many
in the city and county thereabouts
not now employed, and also offers in
ducements to farmers and truckers
to raise additional crops.

WRITES THRILLING WAR TALE
Randall Parrish, Lecturer, Civic Ex-
pert and Author, Turns Out New
Sea Story That Makes Hit.

"The most unusual story OF the var"
is what the literary editors and book
reviewers have said of the novel "Con-
traband," by Randall Parrish. And
having just finished the tale ourself,
we take sides with them and declare
that "Contraband" is II rip-snorting
crackerjack of a yarn. 1t contains
more man-SiZe action and heart-warm-
ing romance to the chapter than any
thing In the way of fiction we have
read since the year of the Big Wind.
Briefly, "Contraband" is a recital Of
the adventures of young man who
tries to sneak n ship load of copper
across the ocean into Germany a few
days after war was declared.
OF course there's n girl in the story
"a wonderful girl with tender eyes
and soft hair and grace and charm and
sweetness and courage. If 1t hadn't
| been for her, the hero would have left
the ship, crew, copper and Germany
| to their fate-but she made the differ
| ence.
| Now here's a secret-we are coins
to run "Contraband" as q serial In this
paper soon. Keep your eyes peeled
for further announcement.

THE GERMAN PRESS
FOR WORLD CONQUEST
Glance at Map Reveals Scheme
Planned BY Kaiser to Gain
Possessions.

II London, March 11.-Pointing out
ace in Siberia and in Southern Asia
urging Japanese Intervention and in
4 sisting that the German people af-
ford no hope of rising against their
imperia'istic masters, Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of blockade, pointed
out in statement to the Associat-
ed Press what had already been ac-
complished by the Germans in the
East. Spreading a large map on the
table, Lord Robert said:
Look at what Germany has al
ready done towards scheme of
world conquest. On the north she
which she proposes to install Ger
man prince.
'She sent troops to Finland and
concludes an agreement which puts
the whole foreign policy OF Finland
at her disposal. These steps in the
north have particularly cut off Rus
sia from access to the sea.
Looking farther south we find
that Germany is in the course of oc-
cupying Odessa, the greatest Black
Sea port, and that she has insisted
that Russia cede to Turkey all ports
at the east end of the Black Sea. Her
evident design is to substitute for
tn eBerlin to Bagdad railroad a new
avenue to the east by Transcausasia
and Northern Persia. In the eXecu-
ton of this design Germany, more
over, has had consciously or uncon-
sciously the assistance and co-opera-
tion of the Bolsheviki.
Look at the plight of Armenia.
Both Great Britain and America
have already taken deep interest
and sympathy in this unhappy peo-
pie. Armenian refugees who fed in
to Transcaucasia are now, under the
Russo-G erman treaty, to be handed
back to the Turks.
You have only to look at the map
to see what a tremendous scheme Of
conquest Germany has undertaken.
Having been thwarted in her plan to
conquer France, this is the second
string to her bow and for the mo-
ment the whole German people seem
to be backing the new imperialistic
scheme. The military control of
Germany is paramount and unsha-
ken. German democracy is docile
every means in their power to frus-
trate Germanys design in the
East"

vision. Every unit will play is part

PROTECT LIVE STOCK FROM
COLD.

The winter thus far has been un.
usually severe on live stock 1t ia
reasonable to expect two months more
of disagreeable weather. and this fact
demands that special provision be
made now to protect live stock from
further exposure. Comfortable stabling
and housing of live stock reduces ma
terially the risk from diseases COM
monty caused by cold and exposure.
1t also helps to save feed as animals
we'll housed do not need so much
feed. See that your live stock are
protected from drafts. Pneumonia
and other serious troubles often de-
velop in poor and draughty stables.

ment.

concerning farmers which is advo-
Gated Advance loans upon crops or
