BETHESDA PLANS
SCHOOL PROTEST
Citizens Association Angry
at Treatment of Miss
Ida Dove.

ROCKVILLE, Md. Sept. The Beth
esda. Citizens Association has about
completed arrangements for holding. in
the near future. an Indignation mass
meeting to consider matters relating 10
the Bethesda school troubles
Resolutions will be passed calling for
radical reforms in school management
generally, denouncing the action OF the
county school board with reference to
its dealings with the case Of Miss Ida
Dove, the depOsed teacher. and other
Incidents which have given rise to Sc
we're criticism. and preferring charges
OF a more or less serious character
against certain persons connected with
the school commissioners.
A committee Of the association has al
ready formulated plans for the indig-
nation meeting and decided upon the
subiect-matter Of the resolutions 70 be
presented. The association met this
evening to receive the report Of the com
mittee on the final arrangements.
The story recently printed that Miss
Ida Dove had accepted a position as
teacher at Vienna. Va, is unauthOr-
lied. Miss Dove stated this morning
that she had not yet accepted any posi-
lion, TOT considered the acceptance Ot
any, though proposals Of the kind had
0een made 10 her. 1t is probable that
she will await the final disposal Of the
Bethesda controversy before accepting
employment of any kind.
The board Of directors OF the Mont
Eumery County Agricultural Society will
meet on Tuesday and settle up the Rf-
fairs OF the late exhibition, which. II
can be said on authority, was more than
usually successful, Notwithstanding the
prohibition OF pool selling on the
grounds. It being settled that the cir
cult court will not hereafter license
bookmaking at the fair under the pres
ent law, it is said that those who favor
that feature viii apply to tho Legisla-
ture next winter for the passage Of a
law requiring such license 10 Issue.
This Will have the effect Of injecting
the question into the present political
campaign as a county issue. and viii
require the various legislative candi-
dates to take a stand in the matter one
way or the other.

A SAVINGS BANK FOR YOU.

The stocking under the mattress, the
tin can under the barn, the parlor
stove, in which the fire is unwittingly
built, the first cool day of autumn, are
not the accepted methods Of caring for
the savings that every good husband
man tries to accumulate through the
toll of his life. Modern finance and the
circle of interests, which compel the
capitalist to take as great an interest,
comparatively, in the success Of every
city, town, village, hamlet and farm, as
the jewellers therein themselves do, is
developing surer safer, saner methods.
recent instance of this is the in
auguration Of the Bank for Savings in
Seattle. Incorporated by the very best
men in the city, men of create interests

WEALTH IN AGRICULTURE.

An Official government report an
nounces that ten of the leading farm
crops returned a revenue Of $2,69S,304,-
$40 to the rural population or the
United States in 1905. It is estimated
that when the harvest totals for this
year have been made the income from
such crops will reach $3,000,0o0, 900.
That sum is equal to about five times
the annual revenue of our country. 1t
comes from the soil alone and repre-
sents the money value of farm Pro-
ducts. The crops rank, corn first,
wheat second hay third, oats fourth,
and potatoes fifth. Cotton, which will
probably add a valuation of $600,0O0,-
600 more this year, is not counted in
the farm estimate, but handled as
special production.
The purchasing power of agriculture
constitutes one Of the most important
subjects for financiers in every money
changing center. In the coming few
months that force will be directed IN
the channels of trade. Every farm
community will pour It's dollars INTO
the commerce of the country. FUR
chases will be made for the winter, and
debts contracted during the summer
and autumn will be paid with accrued
interest. Public schools will open ana
thousands of children living in agri-
cultural districts be clothed and started
on the road to education. Every city,
town and village will furnish some
thing to the farmers and receive cash
in exchange for the goods.
A crop failure in the United States
is felt in all sections Of the world. 1t
cuts short the rations of men, women
and children It shows the necessity
for extending the system or agricul-
ture and increasing the fields OF Fro
duction. A partial failure Of any single
crop would result in opening the eyes
of thousands Of young men, who should
be on the farms instead OF In the
cities, to the Importance OF agriculture.
Because of enormous demands made
upon the soil many ambitious men are
turning to diversified farming as a fu-
ture occupation. They realize that 1t
will pay better dividends than can be
obtained from similar investments in
other fields of money production.
The magnitude Of agriculture Is one
of the greatest arguments favor1ng an
increase of acreage devoted to growing
what the people must consume. 1t
should appeal to wise men in all walks
Of life as public question OF inter-
national Importance. Anything that
tends to build ur the farmer assists
in protecting the wage-earner in COM
mercial and industrial sections. The

organization of producers, the building
of irrigation canals and extension of
rural mail and telephone service are
marks of improvement equally bene-
fetal to farmers and merchants and
all engaged in legitimate enterprises
throughout the entire country. There
is wealth in agriculture and its money
enters into every avenue of trade and
traffic. All honor to the farmers Of
the land.
