SMALL. PERCENTAGE OF SHIRT

DiFFI( ULTY OVER MAP PRICES
Tie Maryland OPA State Office
states that only a very small per-
centage of shirt manufacturers have
allowed themselves TO get into diff
Guilty over the maximum average
price program, by failing to make
enough low-priced goods to balance
with their higher priced production.
"The only reason that small mi
nority of firms cannot legally ship
some of their higher priced shirts
been careless or deliberately failed
to comply with the Maximum Aver
age Price regulation" said the OPA
spokesman. The overwhelming ma
jority of the firms in the industry
and practically all firms in Maryland,
have complied and are shipping, at a
profit, all of the shirts they are max
ing. f
THE volume of the business and
the earnings of the industry as a
whole are at record levels.
."Tke demand for shirts has dou-

supplies back in line with the ire

OPA officials said their statement
is prompted by reports and rumors
that some shirt manufacturers have
tremendous stocks of mems high
priced shirts on hand that they are
unable 10 market legally because Of
OPA maximum average price rulings.
In one group of approximately 40
manufacturers of mems shirts only
six had exceeded their average prices
at the end of the third quarter of
1915, OPA said. For the country as
whole, only one half of one per
cent of the total dollar sales OF
shirts under MAP averaged out
above NAP prices.

ACUTE SHORTAGE OF CLOTHING

Here is some pertinent advice to
nen-old and young, civilians and
eturning sevrice men-take care of
your suits, and even if they are bit
hiny or even threadbare, have them
pressed and mended, for the prospect
f obtaining new ones is slight.
The acute shortage of suits, under
wear, shirts, pajamas, and topcoats
S serious matter. Merchants say
hey turn hundreds of veterans seek
ng civilian clothing away every day.
Furthermore, the prospect for a
ull line of clothes for men is not
cry bright for the entire year. AL
.hough shipments will gradually i'm
prove, starting perhaps next month,
! full line will not be available until
he last of this year if by that time,
Jne dealer asserted.
Y While all merchants are in the
anne predicament-empty display
lacks and showcases almost bare
here is difference of opinion as to
he cause
Some say it is because so many
veterans are returning that yard
goods cannot be obtained to manu-
facture the clothes; others express
The opinion that the requirements OF
the Army and Navy were so great
Turing the war that the demand eX-
aeeded the output of raw materials
and it will take time for tEis to he
adjusted.

ADVISE DROP IN POULTRY

Maryland egg production goals for
1916 are only 10 per cent drop
from 1945, compared to a II per cent
drop for the nation. This is because
wartime expansion in Maryland was
not so great as in some states, es-
pecially in the midwest, and with
lessening demand for eggs, adjust
ments will not be as heavy in this
state as in some areas. Efficient pro-
duction is essential for egg profits to-
day. Maryland farmers have main
tanned far higher egg production
per bird than the average poultry
man in the nation.

Editor Midland Journal:
Following TIE account in the Jour
nal OF Isaac R. Taylor as an early
Funeral Director, it may be of inter-
est to recall his early life and en-
ployment and relations
He was half-brother to my grand
father, Zimri Taylor, and the father,
Samuel Taylor came from Del Co.,
Pa, and following the death of his
nlst wife, married Hannah Richards.
In early life Samuel Taylor of
Del. Co., was rated as Joiner or Car
penter.". In coming to Rising Sun, he
lived on the original Job Haines
farm east of town, and later removed
with MS wife, Hannah Richards, to
the farm near Huntsville, later own
ed by Joseph Lincoln, and left the
son, Zimri, on the home farm where
he raised his family. The son Isaac
before mentioned, no doubt followed
the inclination to work as joiner or
carpenter like his father. The joiner
in old times made household furni-
ture, and the funeral directors made
the collins and were generally en-
jloyed for funerals. So cabinet MAX
ers and undertakers, as funeral di-
rectors were called, followed the
calling The funeral director of today
is very different from when Isaac r.
Taylor took up his work.

A. K.--This is an old friend
asking you this question, am
going with young man about
As years old and l would like to
know if he will marry me. He
has just gotten a divorce from
his mate and he makes like he
thinks an awful lot of me. | am
So and l wonder if l am too old
for him? Must | give up my 9TH
er friendships?
Ans: Your friend isn't too
serious about marriage yet. If
he were, he would certainly con-
vince you Of this fact. He enjoys
your company but he avoids the
subject of matrimony. You are
fourteen years his senior and at
your age that difference has a
tendency to show more sharply
than IT would if you were young
er. No, don't give up your old
friendships but on the contrary,
continue making new friends and
acquaintance until you meet
someone whom you feel conf
dent will make you a good mate
