Congress Will Be Asked To Harness
Great Falls.

That bill providing for the harnessing
Of the Great Falls of the Potomac soon will
be introduced in Congress is the statement
made by Roy C. Clafiin. chairman of the
committee on the Great Falls project of
the Chamber of Commerce, Washington.
Il have the assurances that a bill will
be introduced in Congress providing for this
big undertaking which will mean so much
for Washington. and for which there is so
favorable a sentiment" said Mr.. Claflin.
THE committee has been making extern
sive investigations and has correspondent
with other cities having municipal electric
plants, some Of them deriving their power
from rivers. All cases have worked out
satisfactorily and in no instance has the
undertaking increased the taxes of the
people
I'm Cleveland. Ohio, the municipality
supplies electric current at 3 cents per
kilowatt hour and is making large profits
in addition to paying the interest on the
Indebtedness and laying aside sufficient
surplus to meet the principal when it be-
comes due. We pay 10 cents here.
What has been done by people else
where can be done by the people here.
The question Of the Great Falls power
ought to be settled. II it should be proved
impractical then it should not be agitated
longer. But where its feasibility was once
doubted the Federal Government appro-
priated 100000 to defray the expenses
involved in determining officially the ques-
ton Of its feasibility"

Extreme simplicity will be observed at
the wedding of President Wilson and Mrs,
Norman Gait, which the White House an
nounced last Saturday, will be solemnized
on December 18th at the home of Mrs,
Gait, in Washington.
The President will have no best man at
the wedding, and Mrs. Gait will not form
ally select maid of honor. although one
of her sisters, probably Miss Bertha Boiling.
of Washington. will escort her during the
ceremony.
The announcement at the White House
that only members of the two families and
the Presidents immediate household would
attend the wedding, and that no formal
invitations would be issued, surprised Off
cial Washington. 1t had been expected
that at least few of the President friends
would be invited.
The wedding ceremony will be held in
the drawing room of Mrs. Galts home,
where temporary altar will be erected
The ceremony will be an evening affair."
There will be no large reception afterward,
but official Washington will have an OPP
portunity to extend personal congratula-
tons at the pan-American reception, the
first of the formal social affairs of the
White House social season. which will be
held January 7.
Plans for the honeymoon trip are being
kept secret, but it is known they plan to

A Thorough Test.

One to convince the most skeptical
Rockville reader
The test of time is the test that counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Rockville residents should be convinced.
The testimony is confirmed-the proof
complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ignored.
Mrs. A. |. Cooper, 20 L ST.. N. W., Wash
ington, D. c., says: II used to suffer a good
deal from backaches and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. The kidney secretions
were unnatural My back bothered me at
night and in the morning was very miser-
able. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly gave
me relief from the trouble. Statement
given December a, 1929
Over year latter, Mrs. Cooper said: II
still take Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally
and always get just as good results.
am glad to again publicly endorse Doan' s
Kidney Pills, for it may help someone else
who has kidney trouble"
Price SOC at all dealers, Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
ney Pills--the same that Mrs. Cooper has
twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mil-

The executive committee of the Woman's
Section of the Navy League announced
Monday that Senator Newlands, of Nevada,
had given the use of ten acres of land in
Chevy Chase. on the car line, to the wom-
ans section, as the site of the Woman's

ing their services to the national service

classes on patriotism and American his

ways in which to help Americanize the
foreign population among u.s. These classes
will be in conference form and free dis

The Rockville Idea.

Nearly every farmer, no matter how in
dependent financially, depends to certain
extent upon his credit system. And this
is as it should be. He markets his crops
as rule in considerable quantities and COL
lects large amount of money at one time.
After paying his debts, he usually places
the balance out on interest or makes a
profitable investment. If he were COM
PEELED to pay cash for everything he buys
he would have to keep good deal of this
money on hand, which would make it
valueless.as far as definite earning capacity
is concerned.

Under the modern credit system the mer-
chant is really the farmers banker, the
main difference between him and the pro-
fessional banker being that the latter re-
quires profitable interest on money loan
ed. while the dealer charges nothing for
his banking service and does not even de-
mand security. In this he probably de-
serves no special commentator it's Just
good business. Our whole business and
commercial system is founded on an elabo-
rate credit basis, and. because of the com
parative scarcity Of money, II would be
impossible for all business to change to a
strictly cash plan.

This fact should be remem bered Quality
and price being equal, the local merchant
deserves the consumers patronage. If for
no other reason-and there are many
then because Of the facr that he upholds
the natural business system Of credit, while
the foreign competitor compels the con-
sumner to deal always on an artificial basis

The merchants Of Rockville, the mer-
chants OF any community for that matter
do not ask for the patronage Of the consumer
unless they can serve him better than and
as cheaply as, any other distributor from
whom he might buy They ask for patron
age on no other basis. Money for charit-
able purposes should be given in the spirit of
aims and not in the spirit Of business.
There Is community benefit in keeping the
money at home, but the man who buys
simply on that basis generally has an I'M
usually well developed boosting spirit. The
conservative buyer. the careful business
man. wants to see concrete quality before
purchasing.
