These anti-prohibitionists are hope

winter they will assail the cost OF
enforcing prohibition and attempt
to hook themselves on the tail of tho

that the $4O,0OO,O0O spent this year
in booting the bootlegger into OBJ

year. Once more they will try to

COOLIDGE FAVORS WORLD
ORGANIZATION

President Coolidge, in addressing,
ON May 8, the final competitors for
the prizes awarded for the best
orations on the Constitution, turned
the thoughts Of the young contes-
tants to our national responsibility
for the promotion OF the organiza-
tion of the world on a peace basis:
Our nation has a weighty respon-
sibility, not only for maintaining its
own welfare, liberties and power,
but for the utmost possible contri-
button toward organizing the nations
and peoples in the aspirations and
the ways Of peace. Here is field
for institutional development to
which the thoughts of men and
women everywhere are turned as
they never were before.
Though their scale is greater, yet
the problems in this realm OF world
organization are essentially the same
as those to which mankind has been
addressing itself from the begin
nings of society.
"These are the problems of as
surfing justice alike to the weak and
the strong; of assuring peace with
honor, of enthroning conscience in
places of authority too long usurped
by mere force. The same humanity
that has been able to erect the rule
Of law and liberty on the scale OF
great nations and mighty declarations
will at last find institutions by which
to place International relations upon
the same sure foundations.

FRUIT CROPS SMALLER THAN
LAST YEAR.

Only fair crops OF apples, peaches
and pears are now expected in the
United States this year, Department
of Agriculture crop officials declared
today. Frosts in late May reduced
prospects in many scattered sections
particularly in some OF the central
States, Virginia, Michigan, and por-
lions of New York.
The condition OF apples on June
l was nearly 10 per cent below the
usual average on that date. The
northwestern States. expect more
apples than were picked last year,
but for the country as a whole the
crop seems likely to be lighter, al
though much depends on~the rain
fall during the next few months.
Peach production shows large
increase in California where most of
crop is canned or dried, but in
practically all other important States
the crop is expected to be sub
stantially smaller than last year
Even in Georgia, where many young
trees are coming into bearing, there
is expected to be less than 1000, 900
bushels compared with 1888. 100
bushels last year.
The pear crop also is reported
only fair this year, California alone
among the important producing
States expecting materially larger
crop than in the preceding season.

ELECTRICITY ON MARYLAND
FARMS

Only one farm in thirteen in
Maryland is equipped for electric or
gas service, according to the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation
Figures recently studied show that
of the 47,9O8 farms in the state,
only 1880 farms, or per cent,
make use of electricity and gas, and
of this number 1000 receive central
station service.
While the number of Maryland
farms having gas and electricity is
on par with the figure for the
United States, it is comparatively low
when placed alongside the fact that
PAS per cent of the farms have
telephone service and 74.6 per cent
that have automobiles, states the
Foundation. This gives rise tC
speculation as to whether the far
mer is content to sacrifice greater
comfort and convience made possible
by electricity and gas in favor of
rapid communication and trans
portation that the telephone anc
auto make possible.
The big drawback to more genera
use of electricity on farms in the
state up to the present has been the
high prices made necessary for its
delivery into distant sections, anc
this has served to discourage many
from the use of it, states the
Foundation. Independent plants for
the individual farms have proven
popular in some localities, and ex-
periments now being conducted on
farms in several states is expected
to throw new light on this problem
and electrical engineers predict as
great revolution In the use OF
electricity in the country in the COM
ing decade as was noted in the past
decade in the cities.
While electricity on the farm is
used mostly for lighting purposes
the farmer with this power at his
command has been able to be re-
lieved of many of the tasks arounc
the home place, according to tho
Foundation. Electricity does mo-
only pump water for the home, drive
the washing machine, heat the
electric iron, run the vacuum
rleaner, charge the radio and auto
mobile batteries, but it has brought
efficiency with II by lighting the
yard, stables, and lofts. drive the
milking machine, the cream sepa
rator, the churn, the grindstone and
emery wheel and the general utility
motor. Electricity has also been
used to light poultry houses as
stimulant to egg production, to
operate incubator ventilation and
controls and occasionally for grind
ing food, saving wood, as we'll as
hosting hay and grain.

From State Dept. OF Health.
Over fifty towns in different parts
Of the state will be visited in con-
nection with the Child Health Con-
ferences On Wheels, that will be
held this season under the auspices
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of
the State Department OF Health.
The Child Health Specialize
Bureaus Observation-Disclosures to the
roads this week, and health con
ferences for babies and children
under school age will be held from
now until late in the Fall. These
will supplement the regular health
conferences for mothers and young
children that will go on as usual in
the rest of the state.
According to the provisional
schedule arranged by DR.. Knox,
Chief of the Bureau OF Child Hy-
giene, with the assistance OF the
Deputy and County Health Ofticers,
the itinerary of the healthmoblle
will be as follows:
Howard County June Id TO III

The Child Health Special carries
with it all the equipment used in
the child health conferences. The
health examinations are usually
made in the conference room in the
healthmobile. However, as n e
special is always parked near some
neighborhood center-the school
house, or parish hall, or community
building,-the conferences can easily
be transferred within the doors,
when the weather is unfavorable.
Child Health Conferences of this
sort are part of the regular work
of the State Bureau of Child Hy-
giene. Over $4,000 children have
been examined at them since the
Bureau was organized in 1922. The
aim of the conferences is to show
mothers how to keep their babies
and young children well. No med1-
cine or medical treatments of any
sort are given. II medical care is
needed, the mother is advised to
take the child to the family
physician, and the doctor is notified
by letter of the findings of the con-
ference. AS a result OF the con-
ferences, the doctors have found
the mothers keenly interested in
everything related in anyway to the
health of their children.
