WEED COL
LECTION AT RIS-
ING SUN SCHOOLS

The Elementary school has collect
ed a total of 32 bags of milk weed
pods, each weighing approximately
Is pounds. This means THAT the two
schools have collected enough floss to
fill 23 life jackets. ALI grades in the
school participated with the follow
ing amounts collected: Grade 1, 2
bags; Grade 2, L; Grade 3, 5; Grade
a, 6; Grade 6, s.; Grade Z, 5.
The High School has collected IA
bags.
For many years kapok, silky fibre
whick is produced on the island OF
Java, was used in life jackets. The
supply of kapok is completely cut off
today and the next and most salts
factory source is from the milk weed
plant. The floss from two bags of
milk weed pods will fill one life jack

GAS RATION
COUPON
CONFUSION

Numerous inquiries received al
Keystone Automobile Club offices
within recent days point to some con-
fusion on the part of motorists re-
garding the proper procedure to fol-
low in obtaining the new A-gasoline
rations, effective November 8.
Here is how the new system works,
according to a Club bulletin:
When you get your application, OBJ
tainable at Club offices or gasoline
stations, fill it out and return it to
your ration board, together with the
back cover of your present ration
sheet, which is headed "Certification
of Bookholder" Do NOT detach the
front cover, which is headed Basic
Mileage Ration" or the ALP cou-
pons.
1t is well to remember, the Club
states, that ALP coupons in your
present book will never be valid. The
next coupons used after the expira-
ton of the A-11's on November 8
will be the Abs, first of the serial
ly numbered coupons in the new
book. Only three Alb coupons will
be in the book, but each will be
worth four gallons and will be valid
through December 81.
With the issuance of the new
books in the East, the rationing pro-
gram will be uniform throughout the
country.

Urges Voters
To Go To
The Polls

There are many men and women OF
voting age in Cecil County who did
not vote in the 1910 election, declar-
ed D. B. Mcdowell, president of the
Cecil County Farm Bureau, in issuing
an appeal for all qualified voters to
go to the polls and vote for their con-
victions November z.
mot only in 1910 election" he
said, "but in previous ones in our
state, large part of our people who
were eligible to vote simply did not
take the time to exercise one of the
highest rights granted to them as
American citizens. For the nation as
whole, only 81 per cent of the
eligible voters went to the polls in
1870"
The statement from Mr.. Mcdowell
came in response to an appeal from
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton sent to R. C. F. Weagly, presi-
dent of the Maryland Farm Bureau,
Inc, to presidents of all county organ
izations. The American Farm Bureau
Federation is now carrying on a
strictly non-partisan campaign, urg-
ing rural and small-town America to
vote in the November elections.
In this large number of people
who did not take time to vote in our
state" said Mr.. Mcdowell, "were
thousands of farmers and residents of
small towns. In the country at large
more than fifty per cent of the popu-
lation is in rural districts and in
towns of less than 10000. In fact,
out of 1910 counties in the country,
2,41O do not have a single town of
more than 10000 population. 1t
seems, therefore, that rural voters
have the power to shape OUR coun-
try's future if they will only use it.
But they must get out and vote. No
one else can do it for them"
Mr. Mcdowell said that especially
in this war year, with the nation s
future depending on issues to be de-
cided, that every person eligible to
vote should go to the polls Nov. Z.
