GROWING A NEW SUIT

How does crab grow? Does hls
almor increase In size to accommodate
his body AS il becomes larger and lar-
ger? As matter OF fact 1t does not;
The shell never alters ut all. The crab.
like the growing boy, requires n new
SUIT every now and then to cover his
growing limbs.
He grows slowly inside his shell,
until day comes when he simply
cannot bear it any longer. Then he
retlres to the safest hiding place that
ne can find, and curious process be-
gins. Grasping TUT OF seaweed firm
~ with his legs, he begins 10 move his
body about inside his smell. In a short
time II crack appears across the back.
through this the crab gradually heaves
out his soft body.
Then after i short rest he sets TO

Your crab Is now the most deienseless
creature imaginable; not only In his

cess has completely exhausted HIM.
lie remains perfectly still, trusting
That he IL wen concealed i.V., ...a.
And AZ he waits you can see him grow

up for lost time once he Is out Of 1t.
In short time new shell begins
to form, and before many weeks have
passed he Ii as well-armored as ever,
and several times larger.

TELEPHONE STOCK OPEN TO
PUBLIC

The Maryland public is largely a
telephone using public. Telephone
subscribers are interested in the SER
vice they receive. The greater their
knowledge of telephone systems and
service, the moreeifcctive becomes their
use of it. The Telephone subscriber
who buys A. Il. 4 T. stock becomes u
part owner in the telephone system
which serves him. 1t thus increases
his interest in the company and in the
service which the company provides,
and promotes more definite relation
ship. The company is anxious to
serve the public to the fullest extent
possible and believes that with n close
relationship existing To its patrons IN
the form of their part Owner shin In
the system Il mutually satisfactory
condition will be created.
No community can prosper and grow
without progressive telephone service.
The public has then a very direct in
terest in the telephone system. Their
interest will be goStcrcd by part own
ership OF that system, and the pur-
chase of stock by subscribers will tend
to insure their service and fair return
ON the investment, making both per-
manent and thereby working TO better
60 dltlons from every standpon /.
The company, is however, anxious to
make friends and it believes that there
Is no better way to make friends than
by giving good service and securing a
wide distribution Of its capital stock;
IN short, making the public 1t serves,
that IL, the users Of the telephones,
owners of the system.

FARM CROPS FALLING OFF

The important farm crops of the U.
this year are valued at $b,B75,b7,-
co by the Department Of Agriculture,
it, final estimates Of the year. This
almost $4,000, 100000 less than last
y ar's crops were worth and $1,000
30 .nOD less than the crops Of two
Years ago, when high prices prevailed
i,r farm products. The values ar"
based on prices paid 10 farmers onDe
cmberl, and the crops comprise about
% per cent, Of the value Of all farm
crops.
There we're only two 81 600, 900, 900
crops this year, corn and hay, while
last year -four crops were valued at a
billion dollars or more. Production
vas below last year for almost every
crop, although the acreage Of the i'm
portant crops was slightly larger, ex-
cept cotton.
The area devoted to the important
crops this year WAS 348.33G, 900 acres

$4,000 FALL VICTIMS TO CANCER
WITHIN YEAR

Washington, ID. C.--Doaths from
ANGER in the death registration area of
he United States In 1920 totalled ap-
proxlmately 10000, according To "a re-
port today by the census bureau, which
on u basis Of proportional population
estimated the total Of deaths for the
entire country or an increase of 5000
from the estimate for 1919.
The upward trend of the cancer
death rate, the report said, Ii accur-
ately shown by tho increase to 83.4
per 100000 population In the registra-
ton area in 1920 from u rate of sos
per 100000 in 1910.
Using an adjusted" rate for state
and sectional comparisons of cancer
mortality, calculated on an allowance
FOR differences in average age and sex
distribution Of the populations, the re-
port concludes that the northern states
have II comparatively high and the
southern states n comparatively low
cancer mortality"
Among states In the registration
area, Massachusetts showed the high
est adjusted" rate, 08 per LOG, 900,
while the rate Of $50 for South Cnro-
linn was the lowest.
Race comparisons for various Sec
lions under the adjusted rates, the Ne.
port said, show the white and negro
races to be equally susceptible to the
disease, with both apparently less sus-
ceptible in the south than in the north.

SMALL, FARMERS

A story Is told Of Belgian farmer
who came to this country and was
asked If he could make Il living on ten
acres Of land. 81 don't know" he re-
piled, 81 used TO make good living
on five acres in the old country, but
dontknow II can successfully cult
vatc ten acres" He was unaccustOmcd
TO our wasteful and Inefficient methods
Of farming.
There is lesson in this for young
men who want to own farms, but
think they can never buy large tracts
Of land A few acres, well titled, will
pay far better than big farm poorly
titled.
1t il better TO put ones toll and
skill on IA few acres than 10 scatter II
over many acres. Many farmers in
America would be better Off II they
owned just half or even less Of tho
land they are trying to cultivate. They
would become richer every year. in
stead Of becoming poorer.
