'THE HEART OF MARYLAND"
Tom Terris Production of Famous
Stage Play Makes Fine Picture

Tom Terris Production of Famous
Stage Play Makes Fine Picture
The success achieved by David Be-
lasco's "The Heart of Maryland" is
one of the cherished traditions of the
stage. In giving the screen a version
of the drama Tom Terris has set an
example to moving pictures which
they would do well to follow. He has
preserved the dramatic action of the
original. The story moves forward at
just the right tempo to keep the in
terest unbroken. Every incident is
told by action, and the scenario writer
has followed the original construction
as closely as the screen would permit.
Given a plot that throbs with life and
uses the Civil War merely as a back
ground to love story that is the CEN
ter and the inspiration of every foot
of film, scenario writer and director
have been content to abide by these
desirable conditions and have wasted
no time on symbolic distraction which
has no place in a drama that has suf-
ficient vitality to set it's own pace.
"The Heart of Maryland" is enter
tainment purely. Conflict of human
wills is never absent and there is new
er a false note in the character draw
ing and the proper unfolding of the
plot. The cast, lead by Catherine Cal
vert is thoroughly capable, and the
mechanical details of the production
are right at all times. There is a red
blooded "kick" to this picture which
forces the closest attention from every
spectator, and will be shown at the
Opera House on Friday and Satur-
day of this week.

and an overwhelming arm
ament will be diminished" says
the Morning News. "The Presi-
dent would keep his feet firmly upon
the earth, though he gazes in lofty
hope for human brotherhood and high
attainment. Whether the hope of the
President is realized depends in large
measure upon Mr.. Harding himself
and upon those who will represent the.
United States at the parley on disarm-
ament. The United States, of course,
will have much influence in that CON
ference and other nations are likely to
follow our lead. Logically, we should
think they would be glad to do so.
! "Burdensome as ornaments are to
this country they are not nearly so
oppressive in taxation as they are in

could stand competitive race in
building equipment for war better than
any other country could. Lessening
armaments would mean more for
those other countries than it would for
the United States. Hence other aa-
tions, if they want to reduce the taxes
levied upon their peoples, should glad
ly welcome any fair plan that the

POTATO LOSSES FROM DISEASE
Delaware Said to Be Losing $12O,OOO
Annually From Various Causes

OCldhdEe CdlQ 10 be Losing SlZU,UUU !
Annually From Various Causes
From data gathered the past few
years, conservative figures indicate
that Delaware is losing annually from
field and storage diseases of the SWEEP
potato, fully S12O,OOO,' declared Thos.
F. Manus, plant pathologist at the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station of the
University of Delaware, in a bulletin
on "Sweet Potato Storage" just issued
by the University. According to Dr..
Manus, the crop has been averaging
from 100000 to 100000 bushels an
nually, with an average yield an acre,
prior to the war, of 120 bushels. The
crop of 1913, he points out, was esti-
mated at $4,000 bushels, with an
average yield of 1876 bushels per acre.
he places the losses indicated above
under two heads: /, Reduction i'm crop
yields through diseases carried to the
fields on slips from the seed bed, 9r
from infection already in the field; >,
Losses while in storage, or subsequent
thereto. Dr. Manus declares, "The
| yield is reduced from these factors
| fully 10 per centum on an average,
equalling loss approximately of $40,-
900. The various diseases active in
causing this loss are black rot, stem
rot, or vine wilt, soil rot, also known
as pit or pox' white rust, sometimes
enormously accounted for as fertilizer
injury or supposedly improper setting
of slips, soft rot, and all other losses
from disease prior to the roots being
placed in storage" "The losses in
storage or subsequently, amount to ar
average, about 20 per centum of the
crop, approximating $4,000. Much Of
the losses in storage result indirectly
from improper practice; for example
black rot in seed and seed bed, lat;
) digging, injury resulting from chilling
or freezing rough handling during
digging, carting and storing; improp
er construction of house, poor and ir
| regular heating, bad ventilation, freez
ing in storage, etc. The sweet potato
is a very perishable root, and th'
, many changes it undergoes in storage
are not well understood" The bullet

ject and is ready for distribution
throughout the State. 1t compre

"Results have shown" says the Mil
ford Chronicle, "that the new assess
ment laws for Kent County, which at
one time were heralded as "Ripper
Bills before the legislature, are real
reforms for benefit of all the people.
The assessment lists as formed by the !
new board of assessment, which was !
made by the people individually re-
turning the value of their property on
ouestionnaires which was sent to
every taxable in the county, shows an
increase of more than one-third of the
former total assessment of property
as made by the district assessor sys-
tenn formerly in use. 1t is not claim
ed now that the new assessment is a
fair and complete assessment of all
property, when comparison is made
with similar property in all parts of
the county-but, the Board of Assess
ment will have almost six months 20
investigate returns as made and ac-
cepted for the first schedule by the
property owners, which will give time
for a personal canvas of the various
districts for the purpose of investiga-
tion and adjustment. In commenting
upon the work of the new assessment
board the State Sentinel at Dover, un-
der the caption of "Credit Where
