Recruiting Party for Navy Here.

Travelling Navy recruiting party
was here on a campaign drive Tor
recruits. Comdr Leahy, officer 10
charge of recruiting for the state #
Maryland is making a drive through
out the state for recruits.
Due to the good work Of COmdr.
Leahy, who is known throughout the
State for being wide awake efficient
recruiting officer, assisted by his ever
ready. busy, speedy recruiting force,
the State has always had splendid
record in furnishing recruits for the
Navy, but recently seems TO be slip
ping behind.
Chief Quartermaster u. j. Nowicki
and O. WI. Murray were sent to West
minister to advertise and make ar
rangements for the recruiting party
which will be i'm town from June % to
June 30. Permission was obtained
from Capt. Weigle to have a Navy
tent erected alongside the Armory.
a big crowd is expected at the tent
as there will be several souvenirs on
display from the recent war, one In
particular will be ships bell taken
from the S. nj. $. COrmOran, who re-
fused to surrender at Guam. Inc
COrmoran was captured from the
Russian Volunteer Fleet at Tsingtau
by the Germans and was turned into
a raider and used extensively around
the Philippines and later slipping in

make the trip. While Cormoran laid
at anchor in Guam 1t. Bartlett, Y. ;.
N, was sent aboard from Naval Sta
ton to receive the Germans surran-
der, when on being on board no long
er than two minutes he noticed mys-
FERROUS movements Of her crew ana

he also FASTENED to his boat suspect
ing something wrong. No sooner had
his boat proceeded one hundred and
fifty yards than a dull explosion was
heard and flames shot up high above
the superstructure Of the Cormoran

and sunk in six minutes. On June
I1S a Navy picture entitled Making
Of a Man-O-War's Man" was shown
at the Star Theatre, also an address
made, by Quartermaster Nowickl, who
explained why Uncle Sam wanted
$50 900 men for the Navy to man the
great American battleship fleet and
the destroyers and pointed out some
of the important features of the SER
vice and urged the young men mo- to

BEATING PRICES DOWN.

A speaker from Seattle, Stale Of
Washington, suggested at the recent
conference of governors and mayors
at Washington d. G., that the mayors
of cities make an effort to reduce the
prices of necessaries of life. He sug-
gested that they call in their home
merchants and ask them to take steps
to get prices reduced all around.
This is something along the line of
a movement started recently by the
Flint, Mich, Board of Commerce,
They called together $50 retailers of
that city and got them to agree to
reduced prices. AS a result some of
them must have done business at a
loss. But they report an increased
trade, which they feel will help de-
velop a broader business for the flu
ture. ...
1t is a question whether retail mer-
chants should be asked to take such
a step before producers and whole
salers reduce prices. Retail trade is
being conducted on narrow margin
of profit, closer than ever before.
But at least the retail trade should
stand together in a determined effort
to persuade producers and jobbers to
come Off their high perch. Merchants
may well give statesmen to understand
that the present high prices produce
suffering and tend to upset business.
Producers and wholesalers would
much better be content with small
profits, rather than bring on bust
ness depression.
The wholesale trade frequently gets
the idea that it practically owns a
certain set of retail dealers and that
these men will buy certain lines re
gardIess whether prices asked are
right or not. It would pay the retail
trade to show independence and in
form the travelling statesmen that
their people must make every effort
to bring prices down II they wish to
keep trade A determined show Of
resistance by the retail merchants to
the present level of prices ought to
have some effect toward breaking it,

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JU NE 20, 1879
DIR INCREASED TAX RATE

The Enterprise, at Hampstead,
publishes the following letter abon+
our increased tax rate:
Editor The Enterprise: The Board
Of County Commissioners Of Carroll
County on June 10, inst, fixed the
county tax rate for the year 1919 at
one dollar and twenty-three Genus
($1.23) on each one hundred dollars
valuation Of assessable property, 30
cents higher than any previous levy
i'm this county, and % cents higher
than the levy in Baltimore county for
the current year.
I'm the year 1917, when the ma
jority Of County Commissioners was
changed, numerous promises and
statements we're made to the erect
that the business affairs OF the cour-
ty would be much better managed,
and conducted on more economical
\ basis; and that taxes would be re-
duced. I'm the year 1918, all the
property i'm this county, both real and
personal, was reassessed and the
taxable basis was increased approx
mately $5,00O,OO0, or nearly 22 per
cent; the tax levy for that year was
reduced six cents on each $100, or
nearly per cent.
Following is a comparison of the
county taxes i'm the years 1917 and
1919:
1917
Taxable basis i'm Carroll
county, approximately $23,OOO,OOO.OO
Tax rate ON each $lO0

Approximate amount OF
taxes 344, 400. 90
Increase in county taxes
from 1917 to 1919.... 142,O0O.c1
or more than 70 per cent"
while there is some reason for the
increase of an individuals cost and
expense of living, on account of war
conditions, this can not be applied dl-
rectIy to the expenses of the county.
Many of the expenditures of this coun-
tyr, such as salaries, court expenses,
ETC.. are fixed by law, and cannot be
increased or decreased al; conditions
arise.
''Mr Theodore f. Brown, attorney
for the Board of County Commission
ers, i'm recent statement, publicly
charged the Board of Education of
Carroll County with being incapable
of managing their business affairs
and handling the money furnished
them by the County Commissioners,
while the above comparison would
tend to show that the present Board
Of County Commissioners, even with
the advice of Mr.. Theodore F. Brown
are not capable Of handling the bust
ness affairs of this county success
fully and economically and satisfac-
tory to the people who pay the taxes.

The Greatest Mystery I'm The Annals
OF The Navy.

"The Cyclops'' a 10000 ton ship
disappeared mysteriously March,
1918. She was equipped with every
device to safeguard her voyage, and
carried a crew of 213 and 81 passen
gers. The last that was ever heard
of "The Cyclops" was on March 18th
when she entered a British West.
Indies port for coal. Nothing has
ever been heard from crew or passen-
gers since leaving the coaling port,
and strangest Of all, no wreckage has
ever been found Of the missing ship.
