The negative argument was spiced with
much good-natured satire. at which the

special Correspondence of The Star.

special Correspondence OF he star
ROCKVILLE. Nd. April l, 1909.
A delegation of citizens from Be-
thesda district appeared before the
county commissioners here Tuesday 10
request that a special election be called
to allow the taxpayers of Bethesda dis
trict to decide whether they approve of
bond issue of $4,000 to raise funds
for road improvement in that section
of the county. 1t was represented that
it is desired to improve. under the
Shoemaker law the road from Bethes-
da to the Conduit road, and the Rive
road from the District of Columbia
line to its intersection with the other
road mentioned. both aggregating in
length about six miles.
The commissioners will fix day to
hear protests. if any, against the prop
osition. and if satisfactory reasons
why the roads should not be improved
are not advanced the election will be
called.
Means a Special Tax.
If the proposition carries special
tax of about 3 cents on each 500 worth
of property in Bethesda district will
have to be levied to raise funds for
the redemption of the bonds and 10
pay the interest.
To the $4,000 proposed to be raised
by a bond issue would be added
similar amount from the state. which
would give $4,000 for the construc
ton of the six miles of pike.
1t is understood there will be a con-
siderable opposition to the proposition
as there is said to be feeling among
taxpayers of Bethesda district that
the district has about all it can stand
in the way of taxation. there being ell
ready two special road levies against
the district-one because of the Rock
vile and Georgetown pike and the
other because of the kensington-
Chevy Chase pike now in course Of
construction.

Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
siftcd and resftcd, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled.
If you took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches a single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
You'll find Quaker Oats put up in
two size packages, the regular size and
the large, family size for those who are
not convenient to the store.

METHODIST CONFERENCE
Rumors of Changes for Imperial Val ley Charges at Gathering in
 San Diego.

The Southern California annual con- ference of the Methodist Church will convene ill San Diego on September g and continue in session until Sep tember 2S.
 The Methodist Church has pastor ates established in Brawley, Imperial Fl Centro, Holtville, Calexico, and Silsbee, in this valley, and has the largest membership of any denomin- ation in the valley. The deliberations of this annual conference will be watched with interest by many people located here.
 It is rumored that the pastorates here will have numerous changes this year. It is also probable that the plan discussed last year of cutting off the southeastern part of the State in to a new district will be again con- sidered Last year a tentative plan discussed among the ministers and general superintendents, formerly known as presiding elders, was to make Beaumont the northern line of the proposed new district, and tne San Jacinto mountains the western liae, giving the new district all the terri tory lying between these lines and the Colorado river Many however, believe that Methodism has not suf- ficiently established itself in this new district to justify this separation at present, but that it is certain to come in time
