MOTORCYCLE TRADE
HAS GREAT GROWTH

During the first half OF the 1909 sea-
son motorcycles have continued their
steady and uninterrupted march toward
tfs goal of popular favor.
Never before were the sales of them
so large. The demand has been such as
to tax the best efforts Of the leading
manufacturers.
Generally speaking, the ''two-wheel-
ers" themselves amply justify this in
creased popularity Good as some OF
them have been. their Improvement for
1869 represents added value which is not
easily reckoned in dollars and cents.
Said a well-known dealer:
IF the purchaser will not permit him
self to be Influenced or mentally over
come by a craving for mere speed. he is
assured of a mount that is safer, surer,
stronger. more comfortable, and more
obedient to his will than heretofore has
been obtainable."
It is apparent that the missionary
work has gone on long enough to estab-
| lish The motorcycle on firm basis. It
would seem that the buying public mad

fords a speedy. safe, and economical
method of transportation.
Impressing Utility.
Strange as it may SEEM. there are
comparatively few alive to the fact that
the motorcycle has wide range o.
uses. entirely aside from the fact that
speed maniacs use 1t to whisk them
selves away from the centers of popuia-
ton to green fields. there 10 rest the
tortured soul and feast the eyes. inhal-
ing the ozone of life as side line"
Because of the pleasure they afford
the impression has grown that there fH

To the Farmers of Montgomery
County, Maryland.

Il has been brought to my attention
within the past few days that there has
been circulated in your county an unfavor-
able report about the condition Of the stable
accommodations which ! furnish at the
Maryland House. ! do not know what
motive could have prompted the person
who is guilty Of giving birth to this report,
for it is absolutely unwananted by the ac-
tual conditions which now exist and have
always existed under my tenancy at the
Maryland House. Since took hold at the
establishment more than six years ago my
especial attention has been given to the
accommodations provided for the farmers
their teamsters and horses coming in from
Montgomery county, and am in a posi-
ton to state that they have always been
and are now the best furnished in the Dis
trict for the charges made. and we have
never experienced any trouble in suiting
our most sensitive aud careful patrons.
At the time of the fire at my place more
than two years ago, expended a large
sum of money in rebuilding my accOmmO-
dations with single eye TO the comfort
and convenience Of my patrons from the
county, and am glad to state that they
have responded by patroniZing me In num-
bers larger than have ever stopped at the
Maryland House before.
My stables and other accommodations
have always been open TO the Inspectors
Of the District for investigation as to clean
illness and sanitary conditions. and have
never received anything but commenda-
ton for the clean and healthy condition in
which things are kept.
The report that conditions are not the best
and most healthy and clean at the Mary
land House. wish to brand as absolutel.
false. and for the lack Of anything thai
might excuse the same, it must in its ori
gin have been malicious.
cordially invite patrons TO inspect Oh
premises at any time.

Montgomery County Will Be in Line
at the d. A. r. Congress- In April.

| In response to invitations issued to q
meeting, having for its object the estab-
lishment of d. A. R. Chapter in Mont
eomery county, about twenty-five ladies'
representing Gaithersburg, Silver Spring,
Kensinston, Bethesda and Rockville, assem-
bled at the residence of Mrs. R. G. Fields,
Rockville, on Saturday afternoon last.
Mrs. Croxall, the D. A. R, Regent for
Montgomery county, presided and gave
an interesting and instructive talk on the
object of the association and the reason
why the ladies of Montgomery county
should become members A letter from
Mrs. Donald Mclean, President-Generalo of
the D. A. R., was read, expressing de-
sire to be informed of the result of Mrs.
Croxalls effort to form a chapter and as
surfing Mrs Croxall that she will be pre-
sent when the chapter is organized. Also
very encouraging letter from Mrs. J. Penn
broke Thorn. State Regent, was read.
When practicable the D. A. R. chapters
are named for the wives of Revolutionary
heroes and Janet Montgomery was the
name unanimously selected for the Mont
gomery county chapter. In selecting this
name for the chapter the ladies felt they
were honorine Gen. Richard Montgomery,
who gave his life to his adopted country
filling a hero's grave on the plains of
Quebec-and were also paying high trib-
ute to the patriotism of their immediate
forefathers. who were the first to bestow
General Montgomery's name on Repub-
lican municipality. Scharf. in his history
of Western Maryland. says 1T may be
naturally inferred that people who would
select such name for their county would
occupy no doubtful position in the contest
then convulsing the colonies Nowhere in
the State was there exhibited more intense
repugnance to the arbitrary measures of
Great Britain or more ardent patriotism.
After the meeting the ladies visited the
historic Hungerford Tavern on Washington
street, where 1.-The first public meeting was
held in Frederick county (now Montgom-
cry county, to take action in favor of
American freedom and to secure the re-
peal of the obnoxious laws" Hungerford
Tavern from its associations is of great
interest to the D. A. R., and it is the in
tention of the Montgomery chapter to pur-
chase it, if the necessary funds can be
raised, and use it for the d. A. r. head
quarters in Montgomery county.
Judging from the number of applications
for membership that were accepted at the
d. A. r, council in February and the num-
Der waiting to lie passed upon in March,
about forty names will be enrolled when
the chapter is organized.
