building goal established for his farm.
This goal will represent total Of the
soil-conserving practices for the farm
which will be counted on an acreage
basis and not at any specific rate or
payment. Through this goal the pro-
gram will assist farmers in carrying
out soil-improvement measures which
are not routine practices on the farm.
The second point to be remembered
is the establishment of total soil-de-
pleting crop goals or allotments, IN
Guiding allotments for wheat, potatoes,
commercial vegetables and other soil
depicting crops. These represent the
farmers share of a national goal for
soil-depleting crops. This national
goal is the acreage that with normal
yields it is calculated will produce an
abundance of farm products, but not
so large that it will bring burdensome
surpluses.
The third point to be considered is
that for each farm a single total pay
ment will be computed and announced
to each farmer. Cooperating farmers
who meet all requirements will earn
these maximum payments. Where
farmers seed more than their allot-
ments or carry out less than the maxi
mum soil-building practices available
for their farms, the payments which
they can earn will be less than the
maximum.
Mr.. Keller points out that the prin-
cipal difference in Maryland between
the 1889 and 1889 programs is that
the program for 1889 provides def
mite restriction on the seeding OF
wheat.

WORKED
OUT TO BENEFIT
The INDIVIDUAL

Following the general announce
ment recently of the outline of the
1889 farm program, all efforts in
Maryland have been concentrated on
working out details of its provisions
as they will affect individual farmers,
it is announced by C. z. Keller, who
is in charge of administration in this
state.
According to Mr.. Keller wheat
acreage allotments have already been
announced to individual farmers and
details of the completed program will
be made available within the next few
months.
Individual farmers who participate
in the program will need to know
three main points. The first of these
is that each farmer will have soil

When wind, rain, flood, hurricane
and tidal wave battered New England
late in September, the telephone sys-
TENS in this thiclzly populated area
sustained more damage than the Bell
System had ever previously expert
enced at one time.
Nearly one-half million telephones
were thrown out of service, $4,000 of
them in New Jersey, $4,000 in New
York, los, 5000 in Connecticut and 3OO,-

Coupled with the damage to telephones
came a corresponding increase in the
demand for service from out of town

TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION INSTRU-
MENTAL In ABDUCTION OF I. B. DEATHS
Activities Supported By Christmas Seals Helping To
Win Fight Against Disease.

These activities are all supported by
the sale of Christmas Seals.
One of the most important factors
in the fight against tuberculosis is
early diagnosis or discovering the
cases before the disease has had
chance to progress. 1t is much easier
to cure an early case than one which
has become advanced and the chances
of it's being spread are lessened when
it is known about and being treated.
The activities of the association are
designed to make early diagnosis
possible.
There are three groups that must
be watched very carefully in order to
check the spread of the disease. These
groups are young people of school and
post-school age, parents and other
adults who are in contact with chill
dren and young people, and Negroes
of all ages. Children and Negroes
are extremely susceptible to tubercu-
losis infection.
In order to eventually wipe out the
disease it will be necessary to discover
all of the people afflicted with the dis
ease and get them under treatment.
AS long as people with the disease are
circulating amongst US the spread is
going to continue.
All contacts Of tuberculosis, sus-
poets or people having any of the So
called danger signals" should be ex-
amined. The danger signals" are: a
cough, Indigestion, loss of weight, loss
of appetite, fatigue, fever, night
sweats and the expectoration of blood.
The tuberculosis association is CO.
operating with the doctors and health
departments by maintaining impor-
tant anti-tubcrculosis activities. The
sale of the Christmas Seals makes
this cooperation possible and gives all
citizens a chance to take an active
part in this crusade.

point of efficiency than it was in the
pre-war days. At last we have taken
the advice of General Washington and
have formed a really trained and or

Within the next few weeks General
Reckord will name the members of the

communities were completely cut off,
and to others only few circuits were
available to handle the flood of calls.
Emergency crews were rushed into
the New England areas from all over
the cast, south and middle west, in
cluding Washington, Maryland and
Virginia. Washington sent 13 crews
comprising 43 men and 6 trucks,
Maryland 10 crews including 83 men
and Is trucks and Virginia 18 crews
composed of SO men equipped with IA
trucks. Because equipment and con-
struction methods have been stand
ardized in the Bell System these crews
worked in New England as effectively
as at home.

Some idea of the damage can be
gained from the following list of sup
plies ordered from the Western Elec-
trio Company: 100000 feet of wire,
100000 feet OF cable on 1850 reels,
1880 telephone poles, 22,S00 hand
telephone sets, 10000 pounds of
solder, 100000 feet of strand wire,
and 100000 pounds of hardware,
consisting of 275 different kinds.
Men worked day and night to re-
pair the lines. Operators struggled
with 100 per cent increase in calls at
many points. Everywhere the spirit
of service which is traditional among
Bell System employees in times of DIS
aster was manifest.

The prisoner was taken aboard an
American ship that sailed at once.
When that ship had completed its
voyage and was again nearing
American waters, Mr.. Nolan was
transferred to another American
ship, outward bound.

Mr.. Roosevelt said: TAX exemp-

against the fair or effective collec-
ton Of progressive surtaxes. In

these exemptions have violated the
spirit Of the tax law itself by actual

THE same principles of just tax

taxes on the hundreds Of thousands
Of state, county and municipal en-
ployees. Nor do the states, under
existing decisions, levy income

nary report Of the senate commit
tee on relief and unemployment SUBJ
mitted by Chairman Byrnes.
At the time the report came in,
Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator,
was telling the house appropriations
committee, holding hearings on the
administration recovery-relief pro-
gram, that the proposed 81, $50, 000,-
900 relief appropriation would en-
able 100000 to be added to federal
aid rolls, bringing the total number
to 300, 900 persons.
This money, he said, would last
only for the first seven months Of
the coming fiscal year.
The senate committee report in
general absolved the WPA from
charges of graft, waste and ineffl-
cheney, but in some respects it
sharply criticized the administra-
tons relief policies.
To the discontinue of administra-
ton leaders, the committee recon-
mended that the senate's revenue

gains tax be adopted as major aid
to economic recovery. Retention Of
those taxes is in the house bill

Chemurgy for Production

M EMBERS of the National Farm
4'A Chemurgic council, holding
their fourth annual meeting in Oma-
ha, challenged the view of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the country's
economic troubles are due to over
production.
There need be no limits" said
Wheeler McMillen, editor of Coun-
try Home and president of the coun-
Gil, in his opening address, ito the
wealth we can produce. Freeing
farmers from the narrowness of
food and export markets, the soil
can be enabled to produce houses
for the ill-housed and the innumer-
able desires Of a great free peo-
pie. The processes of production
can create the purchasing power
for consumption.
In no other way than by the Gre
alton of wealth can there be wealth
for all. Chemurgy calls, not upon
government, but on the triple pow
erS of agriculture, industry and sci
ence. We reject the cowardly coun-
sells of national poverty and pessi-
mism. We propose to apply science
and capital and labor to the soil
and its products. Chemurgy's
challenge to Americans is a chal-
lege to share in wealth by creating
wealth.

Overweight Shortens Life.

II is rather difficult to convince

overweight and that men of his age
with this excess weight shorten their
life span or life expectancy, by about

of 205 pounds in this case, the life
span is shortened not less than 20
years. He says he feels well, and
knows he is stronger and enjoys
life more than some of the skinny"
friends of his own age.
These same facts apply to women

in most cases, the overweight is
due to simply eating more food
than is necessary these individuals
are really shortening their lives by
overeating.
This common type of overweight
caused by eating too much food
and not taking enough exercise is
commonly complicated by other re-
suits of this overeating and under

of excessive fat accumulation in the
