Oil Or Dust.

Now that summer is near at hand,
that the streets will be dry and dusty,
that frequent winds will lift the dust and
send it broadcast over your premises and
in your homes, every citizen should get
awake and urge the Town Commissioners
to oil the streets.
Main street from east to west probably
is affected by the wind more than any
other and should be oiled, the State Road
being concrete and not needing much at
tention.
Furthermore, oil would act as pres
ervative. and by adding coat of chip
stone, we would soon have more than a
mile of very good street, east and west,
at very small expense. East Main street
is. now very rough and needs attention,
and oil and stone will put it in good con-
dition. Carroll street, while not rough,
should have good coat of oil to keep
down the dust and preserve the roadway.
We doubt not that every property own
err would be willing to donate money to
help oil the streets, and the new Board
of Commissioners should get busy and
learn what the job will cost and then put
it up to the citizens whether they
want the work done. Don't wait until
midsummer to do the work. Get busy
and do it now.

Want Records Returned.
Complete Roll Of Honor Desired
By Historical Society.

The Historical Division, Maryland
Council of Defense, sometime ago sent
out form of "War Service Record" te
the family for each name on the roll OF
Marylanders who lost their lives in the
service. A great many of these records
have not yet been returned. The His
torical Division requests that the records
be returned now. If further informa-
ton is obtained later, it may be sent in
and will be added to the record. Do not
write to Washington for information.
but fill out the records as well as possible
from information otherwise obtainable.
the Historical Division at the proper
time will use the records in Washington
to complete the State Records.
The "Roll of Honor" must be made
complete and correct for the State war
history records and for inscription on a
m emorial. Prompt return of the records
is particularly desired in order that pre-
sentation of the State certificate of hon.
or may be made to the family. These
certificates, engraved on parchment, are
ready, signed by the Governor and by
the chairman of the Maryland Council
of Defense.
Record is desired of every person once
Marylander, even though later removed
from the State, who died in the war, in
what ever branch of service in or with
the military or naval forces of the United
States or of the Allies, whether death
was in battle, of disease or by accident,
whether overseas or in this country,
whether before or after the entry of the
United States into the war.
The Historical Division maileda "War
Service Record" for every name on the
roll of honor if there was sufficient ad-
dress known. In any ease where no
form of "War Service Record" has been
received, it will Indicate that the His
torical Division has not the name or has
no mailing address. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that omissions be reported at
once, with name and address of next of
kin. The address of the Historical Dr.
vision is 725 Fidelity Building. Baltimore,

Soy Beans A Profitable
Crop To Grow For Hogs
And Dairy Cattle.
(By P. A. Hauver.)

Five years ago one scarcely heard of
the term soy beans used in connection
with Maryland Agriculture. If used at
all it was referred to by speakers from
the State College, Experiment Station
or U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Today it is different. One can attend any
meeting in the interest of live stock and
if the feeding of dairy cows is mentioned
soy beans will be recommend as an ex-
cellent forage for hogs and hay for dairy
cows No farmer in Frederick County
or any other county for that matter, who
has grown soy beans successfully speaks
other than the highest commentator for
this important leguminous plant. Its
popularity has grown bv leaps and bounds.
TIVE years ago three bushels were dis
this lot the acreage has increased until
something over l5O bushels will be plant
ed for Unconstitutional purposesthis year.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to the quality of soy bean ask some one
who has grown soy beans and fed them
to dairy cows. AS a forage crop for
hogs the soy bean is only surpassed by
alfalfa. Hogs must be trained to eat
soy beans before turning them into the
field to Craze, otherwise there will be
more or less waste and probably the de-
sired result will not be attained.
Nne of the best places to plant soy
beans is in the home orchard. The trees
need cultivation, the soil plant food and
the pigs the forage. At the same time
the pig is eating the soy beans he is also
utilizing the drop apples and as rule
the apples that fall are infected with
codling moth, so this danger is reduced
to a minimum.
Soy beans will grow we'll in good corn
land. They require the same prepare
tion of seed bed and are usually planted
from the latter part of May to the mid
die of June, For best results they should
be inoculated. incubation can be had
free of charge for the Unconstitutional
purposes through the County Agents.
Now is the time to get your seed if
you are making preparations to plant
soy beans. Approximately so bushels of
Virginia can be secured from growers
in Frederick County. This is one of the
best varieties that can be grown for hay
or forage. If you want any of this seed
communicate at once with me and will
be glad to put you in touch with the
growers. The growers have been con-
siderate of home people and have refused
to sell this seed outside the county 30
please order your seed at once if you
want to get one of the best varieties.
Farmers in other parts of the State and
United States are anxiously trying to
get Virginia soy beans for seed, but we
want Frederick County farmers to plant
all this seed as we believe soy beans de-
serve permanent place in our Agricul-
ture. If your hay crop does not look
very promising plant soy beans. For
further information get in touch with
me or some one who has grown soy beans.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week May 18th, D. W. Griffith an
nounc es a new super-spectacle, a thrill
ing romance OF Antiquity
THE FALL OF BABYLON"
impelling dramatic situations, inspiring

and women in the mighty moving pro-
duction, rs, 600 horses A famous Com
pany Fascinating Dancing girls.
1.-The Fall of Babylon" the new sup
er spectacle, which comes next week
under personal direction of D. w. Griffith
whose wonderfully successful offerings,
1.-The Birth of Nation, Intolerance,
Hearts of the World" etc, will live
through the ages.
THE Fall of Babylon" is stupendous
reflection of the glories, luxuries and
dramatic episodes of the purple romance
of an ancient day. The story of a bril-
liant people in the age, B. c., who lived
hungered for food, love and happiness.
Their achievements were revelations.
they built the wonderful Babylon the
Mighty, whose massive wall only treach-
cry could reduce.
The good and imposing Balshazzar, the
lover of the dramatic story of the play,
had his robes torn from him in death by
the politicians of that era, the schemers
who betrayed the city, and enslaved the
people that they might have the Joy of
humiliating their ruler. A wild lovable
little sweetheart from the mountains,
who adored the King, and loved a singer
might have saved them all, but they
needed not and the feast went on, there
wrs laughter, wine, dancing and revelry,
and romantic plans. There is magnetic
melody, enticing song, fountain flowing
with sparkling wine, luxurious surround
ings, artistic costumes etc.
Besides the celebrated cast of princi-
pal interpreters, the production involves
the services of 1875, 900 men and womer
rs, 600 horses in the marvellous chariot
races all the Euphrates.
The Feast of Belshazzar will be mark
ed by hundreds of fascinating dancing
girls.
