One Telephone For Every
Ten Persons in Mrsyland.

Figures OF Ire Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company show that
there was total OF 1872, 1876 telephone
stations in service on November 30,
1920, throughout the state. This rep
resents a net gain OF over 10, 500 Sta
lions during the twelve months Guiding
that date, and is the largest growth IA
a single year in the history OF the
company.
A survey OF s. Of the large cities
throughout the country shows that the
gain in telephone stations was slightly
over per cent during the same pc
riod. The growth "a the ontire state
of Maryland was at rate of 81 per
cent, and for Baltimore City it was 8.
per cent. Thus Maryland has main
tanned her place we'll ahead of the av-
erage established in other parts OF the
country.
Considering the many difficulties
surrounding the expansion OF tele-
phone plant facilities, due especially
to the shortage of material ana equip
ment OF al kinds, telephone officials
feel that the company has made a
splendid showing. Mos tot the handi-
caps are rapidly being overcome and
the tremendous program OF expansion
and Improvement which the company
has well under way promises speedy
elimination Of all cases OF congested
service and inadequate facilities

A very enthusiastic meeting of the
farmers OF the 9th District was held at
Waldorf Tuesday night Tho subject
under discussion was shall we cut
down our tobacco acreage for another
year ~ II was almost unanimously
agreed that that was the most profit
able plan to pursue. In the discussion
it was brought out that many of the
farmers had ALREADY decided to cut
their acreage, whether there was a
concerted effort or not, But It was
the desire of those present that there
be general meeting OF the farmers OF
the county in La Plata sometime soon,
in February, to discuss the question
and act as one in the matter. That Is
the spirit which will win for this coun-
tv. Get together and act as unit for
