TINE TO SAVE MONEY

The farmers of this county and
throughout Southern Maryland
have reaped large harvest in
the high prices of tobacco, and
there is a good market for wheat.
The tendency of many farmers
Is, after paying their bills, to in
dulge in extrav lgance with THEN
surplus and spend it rather than
deposit in a bank as a safeguard
against the needs of a rainy day.
The present outlook generally.
due to the lack of rain, is for &
short crop of tobacco and corn.
This being true, it will necessar.
lily follow that the farmers will
have only a small crop to market
next spring; hence it is the part
of wisdom to save the surplus OF
proceeds of sales of tobacco and
other crops now being marketed.
Aside from this, the successful
farmer is one who can boast OF
having paid his bills and puts
his surplus money in bank and
is thus prepared for any finan-
cial emergency that might arise.
1t is a business proposition for
the farmer to put his surplus
money in the savings department
of some bank. The expenditure
of his surplus for automobiles,
for example, means all going out
and nothing coming in, while the
contrary is true of money depos-
tied in savings bank-all going
in and none coming out. Now,
when the farmer has money,
when the crop outlook is as it is
today unfayorable, is the time
to save money to take care Of the
future.
We hope conditions will i'm
prove and that our farmers may
continue to enjoy prosperity and
happiness. 1t is for this reason
we are warning them to look
ahead. 1t is our purpose to en-
courage saving among our far
mers who are enjoying real pros
perity for the first time in his
tory. We feel that word to the
wise at this time is worth while
and we hope it will be needed.

THE GET.OUT-
THE.voTE CLUB

In order to assure organized
effort to get out the stay at.
home vote" next November,
there has been organized al
Washington a National Get
Out-The-Vote Club. This organ.
ization will assist in the forma-
ton OF local clubs throughout
the country, without regard to
party lines, all working to the
one end of inducing all the vo-
ters to register and to vote.
Many voters do not go to the
polls on election day because
they have failed to register and
it is either impossible or very
difficult to qualify on election
day unless previously registered.
In order to make its work most
effective, this new club will be-
gin its work early and induce
citizens to register, thus remov-
ing all reason for failing to go to
the polls when the ballots are to
be marked.
In the statement of it's pur-
poses, the National Get Out-The-
Vote Club says 1.-THE purpose
of this organization is to aid by
all practicable and efficient
means a full registration and
vote of all qualified American
citizens throughout the United
States. 1t is our purpose to en-.
roll members and enlist active
workers in state, congressional
district, county and local organi-
cations, regardless of political
affiliations and to secure the pa
triotic service and cooperation
of both individual citizens and
all classes of social, civic, politi.
cal and business organizations;
to arouse public sentiment by
the distribution of data and liter
allure, to secure the service OF
public speakers and the public
press, to cooperate with public
officials and civic and political
committees, to promote a cam.
paign of national and state edu.
cation; and, likewise, to engage
in active and direct measures 10
secure the registration of voters.
to get voters out to the polls, .
etc.
Quoting from review com
piled by Golfers Weekly. the
new organization calls attention
to the fact that the stay al. home
habit is increasing. In 1896. so
per cent of the qualified voters
cast ballots; in 1900, 70 per cent;
in 1908, 66 per cent; 1912, 50 per
cent; in 1920, less than 80 per
cent.
In recent statement on the
subject, Mr.. Simon Michelet. of
Washington, D. g., who is lead.
ing the movement, said THE
fact stands, that the enormous
stay -at-home vote of today is
sufficient to change the result of
the presidential election il. a vast
majority of states. The stay.at.
home army of %, 100000 can
elect or defeat any candidate.
Upon the ability and efficiency of
national and state committees in
mobilizing the stay -at-homes and
converting them to active elec.
tors hangs many an election.
Concluding another statement on
the same subject, he says
