THE TOBACCO SITUATION.

AS recently pointed out by our
contemporary. "a condition and
not a theory" faces the farmers
of Southern Maryland today.
In view Of the present price of
labor, high cost of fertilizers and
farming implements, the short
age OF the tobacco crop, and the
prevailing prices of that com
modify, our farmers are face to
face with a most serious situa-
ton, and must look to some other
source of revenue in order to
procure the-necessary finances
TO live ON. In fact, as we view
conditions which face them, far
mers have practically reached
the stage where tobacco raising
must be abandoned altogether.
The proposed creamery will
help to meet the situation. Corn
and nay must be raised, not only
for home consumption, but for
the market Farmers, in face of
present prices, together with the
heavy taxes which must be borne,
cannot continue to raise tobacco
at the present prices.
The French have been the
largest buyers Of Maryland to-
bacco because it best suits their
needs and it is doubtful if they
can find a substitute. Be this as it
may, we nevertheless repeat that
the farmers OF Southern Mary
land have now reached the point
where they must practically, if
not altogether abandon tobacco
raising for a livelihood
We are in hopes that the pro
posed creamery will help relieve
this situation, but whether it
does, or not, we suggest that the
farmers raise more hay and corn
for the market-and at the
same time get busy and look out
1Or other sources OF revenue Unan

crop.

BIOLOGISTS ARRIVE TO
SURVEY POPLAR FIELDS

Poplar, June 25.-Frank Carney
and a party of four biologists from
Lewistown are in Poplar to make a
complete survey of the Poplar oil
structure. They are making the sur
vey for Parker & McClung and ex-
pect that their work will require from
three to four weeks.
Messrs. Parker and McClung, who
have been operating in the Lewistown
field, were here week before last with
Thomas D. Compbell, president of the
Montana Farming corporation. The
Farming corporation is not to be in
terested in the development of the
Poplar field, but Mr.. Campbell has in
timated that he and his associates will
prove the field if the survey that is
being made now is satisfactory.
Mr.. Campbell, who makes his head
quarters at Hardin, where the cor
poration carries on a part of it's farm
ing venture, has been in Poplar several
times for conferences with local oil
companies to secure acreage on GER
tain parts Of the dome. He has en-
tered into no contracts as yet, how
ever, with any of the local companies
to commence drilling.
Several weeks ago it was said that
the Farming corporation, the stock
of which is owned principally by ].
P. Morgan and other New York fl
nanciers, would be interested in de-
veloping the Poplar field, but Mr..
Campbell declares that this is not
true.

another change in the wool sched-
ule which he could not forsee, but
which improvements in wool comb
ing machinery since 1914 have made
possible, is the lack of any appreci-
able distinction today between class
l and class 2 woods, and it is an
nounced that the forthcoming tariff
bill will not include those classifi-
cation. The news which is received
from day to day concerning the pend
ing Republican tariff bill gives as
surance that it is being framed along
lines far more scientific than have
ever heretofore characterized legis-
%lation, and should amply repay those
impatient ones who are insisting on
speed. No tariff bill which was
speeded through Congress ever gave
satisfaction to the country. 1t is the
most laborious and painstaking phase
of legislation with which the Ameri-
can Congress has to deal, and if it is
to endure with any degree of per
manence it must be drafted with ut
most care"

Republican Record for Veteran Relief.

"The Democrats of the Senate took
great delight the other day in upbraid-
ing the Republican administration for
what they commended was its failure to
carry out the policies Of of the Re-
publican PLATFORM" says a member OF
Congress. Carefully collecting a list
of everything that has not been &C
complished in the 100 days the Re-
publican administration has been in
control of the government, and omit
ting all reference to what has been
done, the alleged shortcomings of the
party in power were made to appear
very serious. Stress was laid on the
charge that the Republicans have
failed to do anything for the wounded
soldiers THE arrogance of laying claim
to doing something toward lettering
the conditions of the disabled soldiers
of the country!' exclaimed a violent
Democrat, from Mississippi.
"Just to remind the people what the
Republicans have accomplished along
the lines of soldier relief alone, a few
of the more prominent benefits are
herewith enumerated:
appropriated $4,000, 900 for the
construction of new fireproof modern
hospitals to take the place of the in
sanitary one-story, pa%per-board fire
traps in which thousands of helpless
veterans were housed by the Demo-
Gratis.
Authorized the utilization by the
Public Health Service for hospital pur-
poses of scores Of army buildings
throughout the country not needed for
military use.
"Uncovered the most revolving con-
ditions prevailing in the so-called con-
tract hospitals established by the
Democrats land in special tuberculosis
hospitals, that led to immediate i'm
provement at those institutions.
"Appoined the Dawes soldier relief
commission, that in two days survey

Poor Richards Plan.
Something more than $50 years ago
BENJAMIN Franklin, the greatest
American philosopher, gave in his
"Poor Richards Almanac plan for
saving 100 900 pounds sterling, ap-
proximately $500, 900. His sugges-
tions are as good today as they were
then. His plan was thus set forth:
AS L SpelI SOIlS "ccNS ldSt III
in visiting my old acquaintance in
the Jerseys, great complaint | heard
for want of money, and that leave
to make more paper bills could not be
obtained. Friends and countrymen,
my advice on this head shall cost you
nothing, and if you will not be angry
with me for giving it, l promise you
not to be offended if you do take it.
"You spend yearly at least two
hundred thousand pounds it is said,
in European, East-Indian, and West
Indian commodities. Suppos one half
of this expense to be in things abb
solutely necessary, the other half may
be called superfluities, or at best, con-
v~eniencies, which, however, you might
live without for one little year, and not
suffer exceedingly. Now, to save this
half, observe these few directions:
81. When you incline to have new
clothes, look first we'll over the old
ones, and see if you cor not shift
with them another year.. either by
securing, mending, or even patching
if necessary. Remember, a patch on
your coat, and money in your pocket,
is better and more creditable than a
writ on your back, and no money to
take it off.
"2. When you are inclined to buy
China ware, chintzes, India silks, or
any other of their flimsy, slight manu-
features, l would not be so bad with
you as to insist on your absolutely
resolving against it; all l advise is,
to put it off (as you do your repent
ance) till another year; and this, in
some respects, may prevent an oc-
casion of repentance.
SO. If you are now a drinker of
punch, wine or tea, twice a day, for
the ensuing year drink them but once
a day. If you now drink them but
once a day, do it but every other day.
If you do it now but once a week, re-
duce the practice to once a fortnight.
And, if you do not exceed in quantity
as you lessen the times, half your ex-
pense in these articles will be saved.
"a. When you incline to drink rum,
fill the glass half with water.
"Thus, at the years end, there will

dition never reached in all its history
under Democratic control.
Framed u soldier bonus bill that
will be introduced in Congress and
Considered in the very near future.
"This is only part of the Republi-
can record on soldier relief. 1t not
only sheds glory on the present adj
ministration, but shows up strongly
the miserable treatment meted out to
the veterans under Democratic offic-
ials. Little wonder that the Demo-
Gratis make no specific illusions to
what they failed to do and what, the
Republicans have done. They content
themselves with hurting invectives at
their political opponents. The coun,
try will hear more of them as the
weeks pass, but they are mepely the
d~espairing walls of a defeated and
discredited party"
