Pictures And In.
formation Wanted

Naval Intelligence officers of the
Fifth Naval District are renewing
their appeal for pictures and infor-
nation of Jap-held and other Far
Eastern territories.
They feel certain that the volume
of response to date represents but a
small percentage of the vast store of
information in the possession OF res
idents of the District" says a Naval
Intelligence spokesman.
So he has issued the following
statements:
Undoubtedly, many are not yet
aware of the Navy's desire to inter
view those who have travelled to the
Far East and to examine photo
graphs, maps, books, magazines and
other material which they acquired
in the Orient.
1.-THE more recent the vintage, of
course, the more valuable the infor-
nation is likely to be. Nevertheless,
even though you have not been in
Japanese-occupied territory in many
years, you may still possess informa-
ton which hitherto has not been
brought to light.
Special emphasis is placed upon
topography, photography, communi-
cations, transportation systems ard
strategic points OF military interest
1.-THE territory in which the Navy
is particularly interested is Japan,
itself, Korea, Formosa, the Kuriles,
Manchuria, China, tie Philippines,
Netherlands East Indies, Indo-China
Burma, Malaga, and Thailand.
1.-THE Navy is interested even in
your mere recollection of visits to
Asiatic ports. You may think your
information is of no Importance, yet
it could very well turn out to be the
missing link of pattern already pos
sessed by the Navy. So do not allow
that thought to deter you from call
ing the Office of Naval Intelligence
Tourist postcards are not desired;
however, in some instances snapshots
photographs OF coastal areas, har-
bors or docking facilities can be used
to good advantage. Again, if there is
any doubt in your mind. let the Navy
Department take look at them.
"a Naval Intelligence officer will
call on you if you believe you have
helpful information. All you need do
is telephone, or sen da postcard, CIV
ing your name and address, to the
Naval Intelligence officer at

mo NEW TAXES" SAYS O'CoNOR

With assurances from Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor that no new taxes
would be asked for during the ses-
sion, and THAT the policy of gradual
elimination of the real estate tax
would be pressed, the 1915 session
of the General Assembly of Maryland
got underway in the State House, at
Annapolis, Jan. Srd.
Financially, Governor O'Conor
pointed out, the State has never been
in a sounder position, it's credit rank
ing with the highest among the States
Of the Country. The present bonded
debt of the State, of $27,150, 900, re-
fleets total reduction under his
administration of more than $751;
900, 900. At the same time, he point
ed out that the present real estate
and property tax rate is the lowest
it HAS been since the Civil War and
that the State has been operating on
a balanced budget throughout the
six years of the administration.
With healthy surplus assured for
the end of the fiscal year on June 80,
Governor O'Conor indicated that he
will ask the Legislature to ear
mark" substantial portion of the
unencumbered funds for postwar
construction purposes, to add to the
approximately $2,500,000 already al
lotted for this purpose and to which
the balance of the War and Peace
time Emergency Funds will be added
at the close of the fiscal year.
Expansion of public education,
health and conservation programs
will be high on the administration
list for the session. Betterment of the
Public School System. with increased
pay for the States white and color
ed teachers, and a program of medi-
cal care for the INDECENT and medi-
cally INDECENT persons of the counties
have been announced and will be
supplemented with the necessary ap-
preparations.

Kershner's Flock Sup
plies Fresh Eggs

ITALY-If a CT Farm Fair was to
be held overseas in Italy, the brood
OF forty-three hens, chickens and one
sturdy rooster, pride and concern of
a Quartermaster Trucking Company,
would walk off with the first prize in
the Production Contest.
Seven months ago, Tech. Sgt.
George A. Kershner, of Hot Springs,
Va, while returning from a ration
hunting tour of North Africa, in the
capacity as chief cook ror his unit,
nearly ran down young rooster as
it crossed the road in front of kis
speeding vehicle. Worrying, for fear
that the next cross-the-road excur-
sion of this jaywalker might prove
fatal, he picked up the protesting
bird and proceeded to camp.
With an eye to the future, Serg-
cant Kerschner was oblivious to tie
suggestions of his buddies, in adding
the bird to the unit mess-pot, and i'm
mediately stared a search for fe-
male companion for his new charge.
Visions of fresh eggs and crisp
chicken leg to chew on, was the idea
he had in mind. His search went al
most unrewarded until one day when
the unit was preparing for the next
haunt over the water to the shores of
Italy, an Arab farmer of Bizerte, an
swered his prayers and presented him
with the gift OF little red hen, after
many hours of usua bargaining.
Leaving the arid, dusty cline of
North Africa for greener and more
northern pastures, the organization
moved and the two-legged charges
had their first taste of an ocean voy-
age. None the worse ror the wear,
they landed safely in Italy and, sett-
led down to business amid the more
pleasant surroundings. In short
space of time, few eggs were hatch
ed and few more additionsto to the
chicken clan were added. Now, with
the feed being uniform and the
brood lert to wander about large
yard and grub for insects, the poultry
group is the envy of the local Italian
inhabitants, not to mention the near
by army units.
A large chicken coop was built an
whenever Sergeant Kerschner ap-
proaches at the specified hour of feed
ding, the chickens scramble down off
heir perches and gulp down the
grain, their usual feed The food
problem is still bit acute but as
long as TIE wheat and the rice hold
out, the chickens will not have to re-
turn to Rations, once their main
source or nourishment. With the
brood growing larger, the egg pro-
duction is also increasing and as
many as ten eggs are collected in a
day.
Sergeant Kerschner is a cousin of
Mrs. C. P. Cough, Colora, Md. He is
member of a Quartermaster Truck
ing Company Fifteenth Air Force
Service Command Air Depot Group.

i've Service Act does not give the ag-
.icultural worker absolute exemp-

or Byrnes states 1.-THE Secretaries
If War and Navy have advised me
jointly that the calls from the Army
and Navy to be met in the coming
year will exhaust the eligibles in the
IS and rs year age group at and ear
~ date. The Army and Navy believe
1T is necessary to the effective prose-
cution of the war to induct more men
IN this age group. :. Other than the
men becoming Is years of age the
only remaining substantial source in
this age group is in the 364,000 men
now deferred because of agricultural
occupation. You have further advised
me that if this group is not available,
you must call into the service occu-
pationally deferred men in the next
age group, 26 years and older, most
OF whom are fathers. The Chairman
of the War Production Board, Mr..
Krug, advises me that the loss of
these men would make it extremely
difficult, if not impossible to meet
critical war demands. Moreove r,
these older men would not meet the
expressed needs of the Army and
Navy"
