To Help The Poor.

plan for an organized movement
on the part of all mems associations
connected with Frederick churches,
for the alleviating of distress among
the poor Of the city, had its inception
at the regular monthly meeting of the
Mems Club of All Saints Protestant
Episcopal Church, Tuesday night.
The matter was taken up by the
club following statement made by
DR.. Thomas Williamson, treasurer
of the Federated Charities. He stated
that that organization would be un-
able, under the present condition of
the treasury, to care for all families
in distress.
There will be more distress in Fred
erick this winter than ever before, he
stated, owing to the Oppressive bust
ness conditions and money stringency
caused principally by the war. He
said While the Federated Charities are
doing all they can and are anxious to
DO more, the demands on the organi-
zatlon will be so great that unless
considerable more money is secured
they will be unable to cope with the
situation.
James H. Gambrill Jr, and others
spoke on the subject. Tentative plans
were formulated, with the result that
a committee was appointed to take
up the question with all mems organ
lzations connected with Frederick
churches, with the idea of holding a
Joint meeting and mapping out a cam
paign.
The committee is composed of
James H. Gambrill, Jr, J. G. Crawford,
and William Griffin. This committee
was given full power to act for the
club. One plan suggested is to take
a census of the city for the purpose
OF locating families in need and then
start a whirlwind campaign to raise
the necessary funds.

War Big Help to Farmers.

What the farmers have gained by
the European war was put in figures
OF SIX figures Monday by Carl Nrooman,
assistant to the national Secretary of
Agriculture, who is in the city for
the harvest hand conference at the
Hotel Baltimore.
Farmers in Kansas alone" he said,
are 1OO-million dollars better off be-
cause Europe started an argument
with powder. The farmers of the Ma
ton got 200 million dollars more for
their corn crop than the five-year
average and are IA billion dollars
better off with their wheat.
Result Of Better Prices.
This is not the result of a greater
crop, but of better prices, which are
directly traceable to the war; he as
serts, "and the states that raise the
food of the Nation can claim a 1-2
billion dollar increase because of war
time demand"
AS to the cotton states, which suf-
ferred while the corn and wheat states
gained, he thinks conditions are fast
improving. The mills of Great Britain.
France and Italy are reopening. he
says, as they become adjusted to the
war conditions, and cotton will have
to replace linen in many of the mills,
because of a scarcity of flax.
The South is also preparing to do
more diversified farming, he points
out, which will be splendid thing to
avoid future hard times, and the Ma
tion is aiding them with the money
that Secretary McAdoo put in the
banks to lend to planters and the ad-
ditional money the federal reserve
banks will give the farmers of the
South.

than they themselves know" he be-

LEWIS PERFECTS BILL.
Government Ownership OF Phones and
Telegraph TO Pass.

Washington, Dec. 14-Postrnaster-
General Burleson's recommendation in
his annual report for "postalzation'
or government ownership of the
country's telephone and telegraph sys-
TEN will receive no action from Con
gress this session. Representative
David Lewis, of Maryland, father of
the scheme in the House, declared to-
day he saw no chance for the legis-
lation with the press of other business.
but he added hopefully that lie ex-
poets the plan to pass the next ses-
sion.
In the meantime, he will continue
his study of the subject and VIII per
feet his bill before the next session, so
that it will have no loopholes.
Lewis charged today that the tele-
phone and telegraph companies are
making a bitter fight against the pro
posed bill, under the guise of "educat-
ing" the public through magazines.
They're spending a lot of money
with the magazines he declared. But
l think We'll pass the bill at the next
session"
The postofice appropriation bill,
practically completed, contains a
clause proposing further investiga-
.tion of the government wire ownership
plan, opposing definite action at the
present short session of Congress.

TO OINAUGURATE ROAD MOVE.
MBNT.

Backed by solid delegation from
Montgomery county, leading taXpay-
ers residing along the old Washington
and Frederick turnpike, stand ready
to inaugurate a movement to provide
a through highway between Freder-
ick, Montgomery county and Wash
ington. Recently the Frederick Board
of Trade made an effort to have road
built between these points, via the
Buckeystown pike. This matter was
tabled after the State Roads Commits
sion reported that nothing could be
done in regard to the matter.
About six or seven miles of road
are required to convert the Washing
ton and Frederick highway into a
stone one. About twelve miles of road
must be constructed to complete the
BuckeystownDick route.
At recent meeting of the Board of
Trade, Justice Geol ge r. Dennis, Jr :,
of Frederick, said that the association
should not go on record as favoring
or deciding upon any specific route for
such road He did suggest that the
Washington and Frederick turnpike
IOuIG,
with the least expenditure of money.
This highway runs direct from Fred
erick to Washington and then con-
meets with the boulevard to San Fran
cisco. The Buckeystown road con-
meets with Washington by circuitous
route.
AS a matter of business, men of
Frederick and Montgomery counties
want a connecting road Trade has
been diverted from Frederick mer-
chants through the use of automo-
biles. A fine macadam State road
from Montgomery county into Wash
ington has a tendency to send busi-
ness to Washington and Baltimore.
Residents living along the Washing
ton and Frederick pike declare that
the Legislature would have ordered
this section of load to be taken over
by the State had the Frederick county
delegation been solid for the propo-
sition. 1t is claimed that Montgom-
cry and Washington county delega-
tions were back of the scheme, but
that the Frederick county delegation
would not stick.
Residents of Urbana district de-
clare that the Washington and Fred
erick pike is the most natural route
to take in planning for a highway
connecting the two counties. The
route is the most direct and extends
directly from Frederick, through
Frederick Junction, Hopeland Urba-
ma and Hyattstown. The other, round
and about, route passees through
Buckeystown, Licksville, Dickerson
and that vicinity.
The Washington and Frederick pike
is used by the Government in moving
troops to and from Washington and
Gettysburg. 1t Is the road over which
General Braddock came into Freder-
ick.

A FAMILY OF BANKERS
Father And Three Sons, Formerly OF
Frederick. In Same Business.

Frank NJ. Hardt, son of Frederick
and for some years assistant cashier
of the National Bank of the Northern
Liberties, Philadelphia, has been elect
ed to the cashiership of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. With
the election of Mr.. Hardt the Phila-
delphia Press say:
Attention is attracted to the Hardt
family, which may be compared with
the Forgan family of Chicago. The
Hardt family has four of its members
occupying prominent positions in
banking institutions in this city. They
are of two generations, the father and
three sons. The Forgan family has
about six members occupying promi-
nent bank positions in the Windy
City"
William NJ. Hardt, head of the Phil
adelphia family, halls from Frederick,
Nd, and his first banking position was
as an official of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' National Bank in his native
town. In 1890 he became associated
with the Comptroller of the Currency
Of Washington, and in the following
year was appointed national bank ex-
aminer for Maryland and the District
OF Columbia In 1892 he was trans
ferred to this city, and remained a
national bank examiner until May,
1909, when he resigned to become eX-
aminer for the Clearing House Asso-
citation of Philadelphia, which position
he now fills.
Mr.. Hardt has three sons, Frank NJ,
Walter X. and John William. All three
were given a financial training and
served at one time as assistants to
their father The three sons are
graduates of the University of Penn
sylvania, and their vocations after
leaving college have been along f1nan-
cial lines.
Frank NJ. Hardt, the young cashier
of the Federal Reserve Bank, served
for several years as an assistant to
bank examiner, and later was secre-
tary and treasurer of the American
Audit & Appraisement Co., of this city.
For the past ten years he has served
as assistant cashier of the National
Bank of The Northern Liberties.
Walter X. Hardt after leaving COL
lege became a certified public ac-
countant and followed that profession
until May, 1909, when he was elected
to his present position as assistant
cashier of the Fourth Street National
Bank
John William Hardt began his
banking career as general ledger
bookkeeper in the old Western Ma
tional Bank, and subsequently filled a
similar position in the Franklin Ma
tional Bank. Later he was promoted
to assistant cashier, which post he
has held for several years.
William M. Hardt, the father, has
been a pioneer in examination by
Clearing House Associations and he
has frequently been called upon by
financial organizations to explain the
development of this new system of
bank examination.
