Square Deal Week.

A practical answer to the question,
How are you goin' to keep 'em on
a Maryland farm after they've seen
gay Parcel" is shortly to be made by
the rural Y. Nj. c. A. in cooperation
with rural leaders of the state. To
keep men and boys contented and
successful on the farms and in the
smaller industrial and railroad CEN
ters, George l.. Goodwin, Interstate
"Y" secretary in collaboration with
state and local committees is planning
a statewide program of athletics,
recreational activities, educational
classes and rural movies designed to
meet the normal need for amusement
of farm help and village workers.
Every county is to be asked to sup
port "I' movement that will es-
tablish baseball, football, skating,
swimming, and other leagues for
country boys and to provide for re-
creation fields, entertainments, clubs,
community gatherings and vocational
classes that will give the local young
folks something interesting to do see
or hear nearer than the large cities.
Definite plans and programs, such
as are already in successful opera
ton in more than $50 counties and
800 small and large indu strial
plants, will be developed for Mary

popular county approval and support
early in the year.

Garden SUGGESTIONS.

Sprouting the seed potatoes in the
light will give you new potatoes fully
two weeks ahead of the ordinary seed i.
A tough, hard soil needs humus.
Spread manure, rotten straw or leaves
over it and plow or spade under.
There is little use trying to garden on
a soil that lacks humus.
Manure is not sufficient fertilizer
for the garden. Used alone and ex-
cessively it is apt to produce hea Wy
vines and tops at the expense of the
fruit.
Plant diseases often result from
malnutrition. Well fed crops like
well fed animals are most resistant
to disease.
An ammoniated fertilizer helps to
give quick start in the early spring.
Sterile blossoms of squash, pump
kin, peppers, tomatoes, beans, peas,
etc., are often due to lack of sufficient
phosphoric acid in the fertilizer.
Potash Is needed for root crops and
potatoes especially.

Heroism Pays Him 100000

Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. 25. 5.-El-
mer Flickinger, of Columbiana, Ohio,
is $4,000 richer today because he
saved the life of Montgomery, Ala. i,
woman two years ago.
Flickinger, while private in the
Thirty-Seventh (Ohio National
Guard) Division in training at Camp
Sheridan, rescued the woman in an
accident. Today he was notified by an
agent of the Cohassett Iron and Min
ing Company that by the woman's
will, leases of mining rights on lands
near Montgomery had been givento
him.

FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER A. 1919
Schools To Get Army Tools.

New York, Dec. 1.-The office of
the director of sales of the War De-
partment will in few days announce
the details of a plan whereby the
schools of America may acquire the
latest models of machine tools for use
in vocational courses at Is per cent.
of cost. Congress has authorized the
department to dispose of 500. 900, 900
of this kind of surplus war material
An inventory of the machinery on
hand and record of it's location
have been completed and list of ma
terial available will be mailed to trade
schools, elementary schools, univer-
sites, and other recognized institu-
tions of learning. In getting the
tools at Is per cent. of what the gov
ernment paid for them when it was
buying in preparation of a protracted
war, the schools must contract not
to resell them without the consent of
the Secretary of War.
The program is designed to solve
the problem of liquidating the Gov
eminent holdings in such way as
to hurt industry as little as possible
and yet protect fully the interest OF
the public which owns them. The
theory is that the IS per cent. that
will be written off will really be spent
in rearing new generation of highly
skilled artisans and technical men.

The Dairyman'S Fertilizer
Problem.

Two important fertilizing elements,
phosphorus and calcium, must be
supplied to the St il, particularly in
dairy sections, in order to ulaintain

at the Ohio Exp rimrnt Station. The
need for these elements Is based on
experimental evidence, >, but also upon
