at his office it was stated he probably

told briefly how farming in that State
and in MARYLAND differed.
At the c'ose of the meeting retire sh-
ments were served.
| Mr. Isanogle spoke on Vocational Ag-
riculture, as he hopes it will work out in
the 'rhurmont High School. His plan is
to enroll at least Is farm boys over IA
years of age, who are not able to enter
school before November LIST or later, in a
class in vocational agriculture to begin
, about November lst and continue in class
room work for six months.
The boys of the class will devote part
of the remaining six months of the year
to one or more home projects carried on
under the direction of special teacher
of agriculture which the school board will
furnish
1t is hoped that this will reach boys
from the country who do not enter high
school and those " no enter but remain
only short time, and give them some
thing worth while and make them better
men ard better farmers
This is following the plan of part-time
school and part-time work plan which en-
ables the boy to "learn while he earns.
The plan was ably seconded by Mr.. D.
G. Zentz, the host; by Rev w. c. Wal
temyer; by County Agent, p A Hauver
and by County Home Demonstration Miss
Ella Rhodes. Miss Rhodes made a plea
for similar class for girls over Ia years
of age not in school, This, it is hoped,
will follow later
The Grange as body Endorsed the plan
and will aid in making it success.
Mr.. Isanogle Is passing to parents of
boys eligible for the class IA circular let
ter to the school board which they should
fill in and sign. Every parent of boy
IA to 20 years of age within reach will
receive one of these forms and should
aid in getting this excellent school move
under Way

Women are much like automobiles;
To have, they're exceedingly nice.
But after we have them, the upkeep
exceeds
The original purchasing price.
The lines of the body is what takes
our eyes.
The paint makes 'em look oh. so good.
But the lines and the paint aren't
worth gosh hang
If there's no power under the hood.
The kind that are speedy all run into

And they have to be kept right In trim.
A blowout or two and the first thing

crease I'm the market value of Liberty
bonds and the maintenance of an in
trrest rate not greater than A pei
cent. on future issues of Government
certificates are expected in Treasury
circles to result from the excellent
condition of the Governmt fiscal
program.
Purchase of Treasury and tax GER
tifcates have been 50 brisk in recent
ISSUES that the Treasury closed the
last issue very hurriedly last Thurs.

81 ,445, 93l 452 and no need imme-

r, no outstanding certificates to be
redeemed at par the a per cents.
: Hing at a premium on that day.
Interest was aroused by the larger
sale in the last issue Of the long term
or one-year certificates as compared
with the ski months certificates. The
public demanded the former in
amounts six times greater than the
latter doubtless because the intercst
rate of y per cent was believed to
he higher than will be paid on forth
coming issues.
With the rate on new Government
securities being reduced, Liberty
bonds paying a higher return began
to mount in price, the advance being
helped also by Secretary Glass re-
cent statement that the turn in war
financing has come. Since Liberty
bonds can be bought in many cases
so as to pay per cent. ON the in
vcstment, purchases have increased
materially leading to the belief that
they have reached their lowest levels
and will enhance in price from now
on.
