What The Census Shows.

The census show that majority of
this country's people live in cities of
over $500 inhabitants. 1t is an un-
healthy situation, and shows clearly
enough that the high cost of living
brings no advantage to the actual
ers are going to the cities because it
pays better to work in factory
than on the farm. The cause of
this is plain. In spite of the decline
in agricultural population, rural
land values are increasing. They
have reached and passed the point
beyond which profitable production
can be carried on. The farmer can
not pay the exorbitant prices de-
manded for farm land and make
enough to make decent living for
himself after paying interest on the
investment, taxes on all he produces
and consumes. and extortionate
prices to transportation and other
monopolies. Until that situation
the trouble shall be removed, the
tendency to go from farm to city
will probably continue even though
city workers have more than their
share of hardship and trouble. The
remedy is first of all to force the
monopolists to let go who are hold
ing valuable farm lands unused.
This can be done by taxing land
values enough to make holding
without use Improbable. Then all
taxes on labor products should be
abolished. These two steps will
force down the price of land and re-
duce the cost of living and of pro-
duction. The same measures ap-
piled to cities and mining regions
will have similar results to WOE kers
there. 1t will put an end to all the
monopolies that rest on control of
natural resources or public highways
and profit from the obstruction to
industry created by taxes on labor.
This remedy should have been ap-
piled long ago. Legislators have
long been urged by Single Takers
to do it and have long been told
what their failure to heed is cbsting
the country. The legislators have
scoffed in reply. They may scoff
again. But they cannot SCOTT away
the results of their refusal. They
may apply, as they have on other

A Real Christmas Present.

The holiday season with its joys
and it's problems is upon US. What
shall we do to add to the happiness
of the occasion? Each one of lis
would like not only to wish our
friends a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, but to give them
one. We cannot do this by means
of ill-considered presents. Thought
less gifts cause the January ash can
to bulge with debris. Only when
our gifts have lasting meaning do
they carry the true message OF go.:d-
will which is the spirit of real CIV
ing.
We can give happiness and coll
tentment and safety for the future
as we'll as pleasure for the moment.
Such gifts are within reach OF all.
They are to be found in the Savings
Securities of the United States Gov
eminent. From the rs cent Thrift
Stamp to the $1,000 Treasury Saw
ings Certificate, they will carry with
them not only the greetings OF the
season but happiness for years to
come. In presenting the child a
card with one thrift stamp affixed,
you bestow not only present but a
habit which will grow in value as
the days pass, for he will wish to
fill the card. That little gift will
have grown wonderfully before
another Christmas comes around
and the recipient will be on the way
| to a life of independence.
In recommending these lasting
gifts, the Savings Division OF the
Treasury does not suggest that a
single American curtail his Christ
mas giving. 1t suggests only that
he broaden it to include this present
which will bring future well-being
to those he loves.
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
will be on sale throughout the year
1921. In continuing the sale OF
Government Savings Securities, the
Government is giving the opportun'
ity to every man, woman and child
in the land through the coming
year to enjoy the happiness, pros,
perity and contentment which is
found in financial independence and
security for the future.

CHRISTMAS GREEN HUNTERS.
State Law Protects Land Owner.

State Law Protects Land Owners.
At this season of the year there liz
much damage to private property by
Christmas green hunters, particular
ly in the vicinity of cities and towns.
To protect owners from such de-
predators, law was enacted by the
Legislature of 1918 (Chapter 179)
which makes it a misdemeanor for
anyone, without the written consent
or personal direction of the owner
to cut or injure any trees or shrub
berry on the lands or premises of
another, subject to a fine OF from
$500 to $500. or Imprisonment
from thirty to ninety days, or both,
upon conviction before a Justice of
the Peace or other court of proper
jurisdiction.
Rigid enforcement of this law is
needed for the protection of trees
and shrubbery, not only along the
roadsides, but the protection of
grounds and woodlands of private
owners with the County police Off
GERS is needed to stop the abuses
this law is designed to correct.

THE MODERN HEALTH CRUSADE
APPEALS TO EVERYONE
Slogan:
Healthy Children Make Healthy
Citizens"

Healthy Children Make Healthy
Citizens"
The foundation of good health lies
IN the formation of good habits OF
living. Good habits may be formed
as easily as bad ones. The earlier
we begin the formation of good health
habits, the more powerful will they
become, and the less room will there
be for the formation of bad ones. The
child, therefore, is more easily taught
to acquire good habits, and Ia best
reached through the great agency Of
our school systems. It is here that
we should start forming good habits
for the coming generation of fathers
mothers and future citizens.
The child, as a rule, has vivid i'm.
agination and delights in play. These
two characteristics have been utilized
to an exceptional degree in the ma.
tion-wide Modern Health Crusade
movement, which was started by the
National tuberculosis Association in
1915. The method of teaching good
health habits has been 80 arranged
that 1t not only interests the child,
but provides the teacher with the
means Of putting into use the rules
of health and hygiene which are too
often taught and not practiced. The
child who practices good health hab.
it's will make his influence felt in the
home and community. These habits
are:
Brush teeth in the morning and be.
fore retiring.
Wash hands before each meal; keep
neck and ears clean.
Take a full bath more than once a
week.
Play out in the open.
Keep unclean things out Of mouth.
Keep good standing and sitting po-
sitions.
Do not spit on the sidewalk or floor
Use an individual drinking cup.
Drink plenty of water and milk.
Do not eat or drink when overheated,
Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and
fruits.
The Modern Health Crusade move.
ment has passed the experimental
stage. 1t has been demonstrated to
be one of the most effective health
movements ever organized. It has
shown such wonderful results that
even business concerns are feeling its
effect and endorsing the movement.
The ultimate aim is to have such a
system of health instruction included
in the curriculum of every school.
The Crusade work of the Maryland
Association is under the direction Of
one who thoroughly understands
school work. 1t has been introduced
into over two hundred public schools
in Maryland, having an enrolment
of over one hundred thousand pupils
Health propaganda has been carried
on by lectures, motion pictures and
poster exhibits. Community enter.
tainments demonstrating good health
habits have been given. Crusade tour.
naments have been carried on In CO
operation with the Children's Play
ground Association during the vaca
ton months. A service department
for teachers has been maintained
where they may send for suggestions
in health teaching.

Urges Loan For Armenia and Inde-
pendence For Philippines.

President Wilson in his message
to Congress last week among other
important recommendations urged a
loan for Armenia and independence
for the Philippines. Covering these
subjects the President said:
"In response to what I believe to
be the impulse of sympathy and
opinion throughout the United
States, 1 earnestly suggest that the
congress authorize the treasury of
the United States to make to the
struggling government OF Armenia
such a loan as was made to several
of the allied governments during
the war; and 1 would also suggest
that it would be desirable to provide
in the legislation itself that the ex-
penditure of the money should be
under the supervision of commits
sion, or at least a commissioner
from the United States, in order
that revolutionary tendencies within
Armenia itself might not be afforded
by the loan further tempting OPP
portunity."
ALLOW me to call your attention
to the fact that the people of the
Philippine Islands have succeeded
in maintaining a stable government
since the last action of the congress
in their behalf, and have thus full
filled the condition set by the con-
gress as precedent to consideration
of granting independence to the
islands. l respectfully submit that
this condition precedent having been
fulfilled, it is now our liberty and
our duty to keep our promise to the
people of those islands by granting
them the independence which they
so honorably covet."

Representative Charles P. Coady,
of the Third Maryland Congression-
al District, appeared before the
House Appropriations Committee, at
Washington, last week, and urged
the establishment of vast ammun1-
ton plant at the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds.
Mr.. Coady pointed out that such
a plan would result in vast saving
for the War Department, in addition
to the great convenience of having
powder manufactured near Were
much of it will be used in the test
ing of guns.
1t was contended by Mr.. Coady
that Congress should make provis
ion for the sale of several powder
factories now located in various sec
tions of the country, and consolidate
all their activities into one plant to
be located at Aberdeen.

Congress is considering the liIst
legislative proposal made by the
women of America since universal
suffrage was granted. Not only
have the women done the unprece-
denied thing of asking for a rela-
lively insignificant appropriation
only 00,000-but they nave
pointed out how that $4,000,00O
can be of as much or more benefit
to the American nation as any other
100000 in the whole Federal
budget of $4,000, 100000.
Briefly, the women ask that the
Federal Government, in cooperation
with the States of the Union, shall
educate young mothers in the ma
ternity period so that they will not
only have the proper knowledge OF
hygiene before and after the birth
of their children but in needy cases
nurses and physicians shall be ready
to come to their aid instantly.

Of it's own organization, and
OF the eleven hundred affiliated State
and local associations.
The double-barred cross was first
adopted as the international emblem
Of the fight against tuberculosis at a
conference in Paris in 1902 1t was
suggested by DR.. G. Serciron and is
adopted from the Croix de Lorraine,
lnal Greek two-arm cross. In 1906
the cross was adopted by the National
tuberculosis Association as its Off
cial emblem. Later it was standard
lied as to proportions.
It has been used by all of the anti
tuberculosis agencies throughout the
country as their official trademark
Some questionable agencies and con-
Germs have been using the emblem
and the National tuberculosis Asso
citation has therefore protected it by
copyright, so that hereafter it will
mean the organized movement against
tuberculosis and only that.
"The double-barred cross stands for
the control and Elimination of tuber-
culosis." says DIR. Charles J. Hatfield,
the Managing Director Of the National
tuberculosis Association. "In this
sign, with organized community effort,
tuberculosis will become practically
unknown, instead of one of the most
dreadful disease scourges of the ages
as it is today"
