Red Cross Christmas Seals will be on
sale again this year and it is hoped that
every thinking person will see the great
opportunity thus afforded to assist great
cause in little way. The sale will con-
tinue from December LIST to the 10th, and
the allotment for this county is $925.00.
Naturally we are very anxious to come up
to the quota. The money realized from
the sale of these seals goes to the preven-
ton and relief of tuberculosis. Seventy
five per cent. will be used for Montgomery
county. Seals in any quantity may be
had by applying either by letter, phone
or in person to the Office of the Social
Service League of Montgomery County, in
Rockville All ministers, or Others who
can help by giving advertisement or assist
ance, are requested to do so.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court here has
issued so far this year BATS hunters
licenses, of which 1929 were resident
county licenses, iii resident Statewide
licenses and 1876 nonresident Statewide
licenses. The total is about $50 in excess
of the total issued during the year 1918.
This years fees aggregate $5,134, all of
which will be turned over to the State
Game Warden. 1t is understood to be
doubtful if any game will be available for
liberating purposes in this county this
year. Efforts to obtain game of various
kinds last year to turn loose in the various
counties of the State met with such little
success that the State game authorities
decided to 90 into the propagatine bust
ness themselves. To this end several hun
bred acres of land in Baltimore county
have been obtained as propagating farm.
and on this tract it is planned to raise
partridges, rabbits. pheasants, wild turkeys
and even deer. 1t is believed that within
a few years the annual supply from this
farm will be sufficient to keep the State
well stocked with all kinds of game.
