STATE TOBACCO CROP
LARGEST SINCE 1877
Leaf Association In Report Tells
Of Market Results For
Product Of 1918
PRICES AT HIGH MARK

Stimulated by constantly advancing
prices for their output, tobacco grow
ers of Maryland raised in 1918 and
marketed in 1919 the largest crop pro-
duced in this State in 40 years, or
since 1877, when 46,521 hogsheads
were grown, according to the report
of the directors Of the Leaf Tobacco
Association, of Baltimore, for 1920, is
sued yesterday.
Net inspections for the year aggre-
gated 41.763 hogsheads, consisting of
about $4,000 hogsheads of Southern
Maryland, about 1,200 hogshGads OF
bay and upper county tobacco, and 5S4
hogsheads of new 1919 ground leaves.
Discussing the crop, the report con-
tinues:
THE quality of the 1918 growth
proved rather disappointing to the
trade Nevertheless. the crop was
superior to the preceding one. and as
a whole was remarkably free from
hOuse-burn and house-frost.
with the worlds markets reopen
ed the European manufacturers
placed large orders to replenish their
depleted stocks, and prices advanced,
particularly for the better grades, un-
til the record price of $50 was reached
on the fancy firm leaf grades.
Notwithstanding the unusually
large crop. the unsold stock on hand
at the close of the year amounted to
only 4S0 hogsheads. consisting prin
cipally of non-descripts"
Discussing the 1920 crop prospects,
the report says:
The steadily advancing prices for
Maryland tobacco impelled farmers to
greater endeavor during the past
planting and growing seasons for
larger crops of tobacco, but their eff
forts were materially wasted by rea-
son of a very unfavorable season.
eHnce the crop is estimated at about
$4,000 hogsheads, the greater portion
of which will be short and inferior"

PLEAD FOR HIGHER
TEACHERS SALARIES
Representatives OF Association
Given Hearing By Co. School
Board On Tuesday
ASK MINIM UNI OF $1,000

Teachers and principals, repre-
senting the Teachers Association OF
Anne arundel county. appeared he-
fore the County Commissioners Tues
day and pleaded for higher wages for
teachers. After getting their hear
ing. the representatives repaired to
the County Superintendents office.
Here the County School Board
heard their plea and weighed the evil
dence given, closely questioning state
ments made, and carefully consider
ing the teachers request for mini
mum salary of one thousand dollars
a year. The Board then unanimously
voted to include in their budget suf-
fcient funds to meet the teachers re-
quest,
Now the question Of whether or not
we are to have schools and teachers
of as high a standard next year rests
with the County Commissioners, who
will pass on the budget recommended
by the School Board. The teachers
know that there is some opposition
10 their salary increase by certain
members of the board. but feel that
The Commissioners have but the wei
fare of the taxpayers at heart.
Therefore the teachers are comb
ing the entire county. circulating pc
titions among the taxpayers, to find
out what is the attitude OF those
who will have to bear the burden
of an increased school tax. The poll
taken so far has revealed that 81
per cent. of the taxpayers want the
county to have the best schools pos
sible. and whether or not they have
children who attend. they are will
ing to pay for good schools.
The welfare of the teachers is the
welfare of the next generation. Our
schools and the living conditions OF
our educators should be things at
which we can point with pride. Do
your share get behind your County
Commissioner and ask him to ap-
prove and indorse the budget.
If you are called upon to sign a pc
tition do so, for the proper education
of the children of Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county is at stake. If the
wage increase is not granted, many
of the teachers, no matter how duty
bound they may feel toward their
work. will not be able to return to our
ccbooIs in Sentember

To the casual observer Vienna is

Gay Vienna StriveS to Hide
Her Poverty; Many IelI-Tale Signs

OF chocolate toward little girl. There
was the usual frantic scramble, but
the little girl secured the prize. She
unwrapped IL, not with the eagerness
of a child craving for candy. but with
the greatest care. The tlnfoil Inside
the wrapper was folded with great
pains and placed inside her dress. II
was more precious to the candy-fam-
ished child than the chocolate. The
outer wrapper, too, she folded, but II
fell from the pocket OF her ragged
little apron. At once there was a
scramble as violent as for the choco-
late itself, and into the pocket of the
victor went the coveted bit OF crunt-
pied paper. 1t would help to serve as
fuel, he said. His sister and mother
also were hunting bits of sticks and
paper. for there was no other fuel to
be had.
There Is a hint OF the underlying
poverty, too, In the crowds that throng
the streets. There are women, unmis-
takably OF the higher class, wearing
the leg-o'-mutton sleeves OF the '9Os
The material, costly without ques-

this day. OF different styles. And in the
city which was always formidable
rival of Paris there are hats which
adorned the beauties of a decade ago.
II is as though tho lllSenesses In an old
family album had stepped forth into
the streets where one expects to find
the last word in fashions.
The clothes have been resurrected
from attics ara rag bags by rich and
poor alike, for there Is nothing to be
had today. When money will buy no
meat, no bread but the blacklist and
coarsest, adulterated to the utmost
point of ediblity. there is little choice.
In the slums there is no concealment
of the ravages of poverty. Gaunt men
and women, hoping vainly for work.
are unable to provide for still more
feeble children beset by the diseases
that come with hunger. without fuel
or fire or food, they are living as best
they can. 1t was an army of such des-
perate people, fullN 10000, that broke
boldly through the lines OF guards and
in one day carried away an entire for
est just outside the city. The guards,
themselves hungry, could not find the
heart to stop the lines OF people that
broke through, dragging branches and |
stumps OF the once royal forest. So
Vienna's most magnificent institu |
tlons. her hospitals and orphanages, are |
the worst sufferers. Famed through |
out the world for their efficiency they |
have had nothing with which to care |
for the ever increasing Sick until the |
American Red Cross came.
1t was a hopeless task, the Ameri- |
cans decided. to feed all of the desti-
tute. but to every hospital which was
filled with the victims of hunger was
