FARM LAND PRICES In STATE

Warming against the possibility of
an imitation in farm land prices COM
parable to that which followed the
last war, DR.. S. H. DeVault, head OF
the Department of Agricultural Eco
Monies at the University of Maryland,
reports that farm land values in the
State currently are rising at the rate
of one per cent a month.
The number of farm transfers
monthly already is slightly higher
than the peak volume of farm sales
during the 1920 boom, DR.. De-
Vault states.
Although the average price of
farms is below the average of the
1919-2O period, farm prices in the
State have risen approximately SO
per cent since the start of the war.
= When the factors presently work
ing against rise in farm prices
high farm operating costs, shortages
of farm labor, machinery and ferti-
lizer and transportation difficulties
disappear, DR.. DeVault fears an eco
nomically unhealthy postwar boom
may result.
After the war, the economist be-
lieves, many city jewellers and re-
turning servicemen will invest in
farm lands.
Among the present factors con-
ducive to appreciation in farm val
ues, DR.. DeVault listed rising prices
for farm products, increased farm in
comes and accumulation of ready
funds during the period of war pros
perity.
To date. however, he reported,
most of the farm purchases have been
made by farmers themselves, some of
whom in so doing, already have over
extended their cash and credit re-
sources.

COAL

A large steel company recently de-
voted a page advertisement to the
part coal plays in making steel. This
single company consumes 1900 tons
of coal every day of the year
enough to heat $500 family dwell
ings during long, cold winter. Mod
ern steel is the result of blending
coal of various types, grades and
ages to obtain stronger, cleaner burn
ing fuel in the blast furnaces. Samp-
ling, testing. and blending is done al
the mines. A ton and seven tenths
of coal is required to make one ton
of steel.
After the war, research now being
conducted in coal will bring un-
dreamed-of benefits to everyone. For
example, experiments are being made
on pipeless heating units. Homes
and apartments eventually will be
heated by stoves no larger than small
radios.
The coal being consumed in this
country has lain dormant in the
ground for three hundred million
years. Modern industry at last has
brought it to light-a black miracle.

The Farmers Federation of North

The Farmers Federation of North
Carolina is among the recent endor-
sers of the Lords Acre Plan" which
is growing in popularity in many
parts of the country. Through it
members of rural churches provide
a piece of land, or certain products
of their farms, diaries, poultry yard
ranch, etc., the proceeds of which are
given to the church for its support.
The use of this plan, according to
the Federation, will stimulate in
the members of the church and the
church school a deeper spiritual in
terest, and deepened sense of re-
sponsibility to work comparatively
for a Christian world"

Chiseans Honor Bold
Aviator Who Flew Andes

Flying across the Andes is a rou-
tine, matter-of-fact, daily operation
for civilian and military aviators in
this age of multi-motored planes
equipped with every safety device
known to science. But when Chilean
airman Dagoberto Godoy piloted his
primitive "fiying crate" into Argen-
tina on December IL, 1918, for the
first successful flight across Ameri-
cas- backbone, the feat was consid-
cred tantamount to suicidal mad
ness.
Various American republics paid
tribute to the intrepid Chilean ace
on that occasion with special post
age stamp issues and other honors.
To commemorate the 25th anniver-
sary Of Godoy's historic conquest of
the mountain range, his countrymen
planned to present him with house
bought by popular subscription.
Appropriately enough, the drive
started in Temuco, birthplace of the
South American aviator, with an
initial contribution of 5000 pesos by
the municipality. But the plan cap
tured the imagination of Chileans
everywhere in the republic, and the
fund is growing fast on a national
scale.
The idea of flying the forbidding,
treacherous mountains which sepa-
rate this country from neighboring
Argentina first occurred to Col. Pc
dro Pablo Dartnell, then Chilean in
spector of aeronautics. He discussed
the details with Godoy, at that time
a young lieutenant in Chile's air
force. Godoy promptly succeeded
in persuading his superior that he
was the man for the job.

Representatives of the six hundred
thousand workers of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers of the American Federation of
Labor, have condemned the labor
policies and the overall paternal-
ism" of the present Washington Ad-
ministration as 'stealthy threat to
the continued freedom of organized
labor"
The union issued a statement de-
manding the following six-point pro-
gram from both national political
parties: The preservation of free en-
terprise, the abatement of bureau
cracy, the halt of paternalism, the
vate industry, the maintenance of
creation of postwar jobs through pri-
labor's social gains, the protection of
our national interests.

DAIRY PRODUCTION PAYMENTS

Government dairy production pay
ments to farmers for March and April
are now payable at County Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency offices.
Farmers should apply promptly.
This program is expected to result
in greater than normal output of
milk during May and JUNE. In antici-
patton of this increase the War Food
Administration has authorized metro
politan area dealers to increase their
sales during May and June up to 100
per cent of their June, 1913, sales.

SMALL FARMERs PRODUCE

Farmers in Maryland and other
States who were financed by the
Farm Security Administration last
year produced enough milk to supply
S,73S,000 persons one year, enough
eggs to feed 7,515,20O persons,
pork for 4.437,400, mutton and lamb
to feed 3,153,200 and beef and veal
for 2,694,O000 for one year. Their
1913 production of meat was 40 per
cent above 1912 and their production
of five war-essenital food and oil
crops in 1913 exceeded their 1942
output by IA to SO per cent.

MARYLAND STATE CONFERENCE
OF SOCIAL WELFARE

The 1914 Maryland State Confer
ence of Social Welfare will be held
this week, May and 5. at Lord Bal
timore Hotel Baltimore.
War time developments and pres
sures have emphasized old problems
and created new situations for youth.
Because of the very widespread in
terest and concern for youth and the
activity in developing resources to
meet his needs, it seemed particular
ly timely that the Maryland State
Conference of Social Welfare be PLAN
ned around Youth In A Changing
World"
The conference offers an oppor-
tunity to social workers and those
interested in social welfare to secure
authoritative information, consider
better community planning, closer in
tegration and Strengthening of SER
vices, and to explore the development
of new facilities and services in order
to assure to all children and youth
the opportunities necessary to equip
and to help them to take their own
part in a Democracy.

HOW ABOUT THIS FOURTH
TERM?
BY j. Il. Jones

BY j. Il. Jones
Washington, D. c., May when
George Washington refused to con-
tinue as President of the United
States after serving two trems, he
established a precedent that was fol-
lowed until four years ago, when the
Democrats nominated and the people
elected Mr.. Roosevelt for third
term.
Evidently public opinion has chan
ged, and the proof that it has chang
ed is shown in the State primaries.
where the Democrats are choosing
Roosevelt delegates who will nomin-
ate him for a fourth term. Unless
there is a change in the situation,
Mr.. Roosevelt will receive practically
the unanimous endorsement of his
party. The facts are that nobody can
stop Mr.. Roosevelt.
History has been made, and is
being fortified, which breaks down
George Washington's precedent re-
garding two terms.
AS matters stand, President Roose-
welt and Governor Dewey are prac-
tically certain to be the nominees of
the two great political parties. The
peculiar thing about Dewey's candi-
dacy is that he isn't candidate.
which, after all, turns out to be the
best way to run for office.
OF course either one of the gentle
men may refuse the nomination; but
hat never has happened.
The only question that remains un-
solved is whether the country will
elect Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Dewey
Your Washington correspondent will
have to offer an alibi. The alibi is
that he doesn't know, and he re-
fuses to record "guess" in cold
type.
Manpower Row On The Potomac
Very plainly, the managers who
employ labor and the leaders of la
Dor unions agree-"once in life
time"-on a manpower issue. They
have expressed their beliefs that la
bor-draft legislation is unnecessary
and undesirable.
Congress apparently agrees with
these civilian groups that oppose the
plans proposed by the Secretaries of
War and Navy and the Maritime
Commission to take 100000 more
men into the armed forces this year
most of them "drawn from vital
industries" which not only must find
requirements, but in some instances
will have to step UP production.
The Military Affairs Committee of
he House kept the proposed legisla-
ion from reaching the House, and
Chairman May stated the reasons:
1--WE have spoken and we mean
what we said," Mr.. May declared
my committee made report saying
we do not need new legislation after
hearing heads of the Government ag-
encies involved"
The Committee proposed that some
3, 623,O00 men now classified as I'M
fit for military duty who spurn es-
sential jobs be inducted forthwith
for what Chairman May called "men-
ial tasks around Army camps and
hospitals. In effect, he explained,
they would "be the Army's and Ma
vy's domestics."
The battle of Washington shifts
10 new fronts, and the manpower
row is of more Importance than most
of the minor engagements.
One top-newspaper commentator
says that military and civilian lead
ers look at each other across dis
NAL abyss of distrust-" He explains
hat the Governments horrible"
Confusion in the handling of man
power, and the failure to be candid
with the public on war news, are the
underlying reasons for the manpower
row.

 ChangeOver Considered

A plan to turn the Griffin Memorial hospital over to a re- ligious order for operation has been under consideration for the past few weeks. Administrative and financial difficulties lnvolv- ing the hospital are behind the recent action of the board of trustees in sending a letter via Bishop Fitzgerald, recent visitor here, to Governor Gruening, at Juneau, testifying that the board feels the hospital can be of more service to the community and less of a financial burden to the city if operated by a religious order.
 Difficulties in the way of such a transfer include securing such an order to take it over, as many do not have the nurses and staffs available now to take on addi- tional hospitals; and ownership of the hospital, built with Ter ritorial funds, which would have to be transferred by legislative act.
 A copy of the letter to the governor was sent the Territor- ial Commissioner of Public Health, and a reply on the pro posal is expected soon.

The gravity of the large truck tire situation was emphasized when it was announced by the Alaska Rationlng Executive, Helene c. Johnson, that an a. mendment to tire regulations used in the States invalidated all certificates for tires of that type issued prior to July l6.
 Territorial certificates were ex- empted, however, and local boards will continue to ration these tires. In the States this power has been placed in the hands of Emergency Truck Tire Boards. The Alaska quota dur ing this critical period is low and local boards have been in- structed to allot tires to the most essential user only.

Spartans Scalp
Yuma 1913

The El Centro Spartans scored
a return defeat over the Yuma
high school Criminals Wednesday
night on the Arizona teams home
court, 49 to 43.
The Spartans were in the lead
from three to five points from the
start but the Criminals managed
to stay within tripping distance.
The score at half-time was 18 to q.
McChristy at guard scored II
of Central's points and was out
standing extensively and defen-
sively, but it was Noland Harvey's
passing, around which the attack
centered, that made his teams
fast break click. He scored eight
points. Reed scored IA and Patter-
son 10.
Considering the fact that the
Spartans were able TO defeat Yuma
twice and BraWley, both teams
having defeated Calexico, the odds
might indicate that El Centro
stands an excellent chance of out
tossing the Bulldogs Friday night.
