COURT DECISION AROUSES
FARM BUREAU

The recent decision of Judge
Ullman, of Baltimore city, in the
case of the Western Maryland Dairy
Company VS.. the State OF Maryland
in which he granted the request OF
the dairy company for an injunction
restraining the state of Maryland
from collecting a franchise tax from
the company and from arresting its
drivers, has aroused the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation to the
necessity of securing, il possible, a
reversal of this court decision, il our
dairy farmers are to retain a free
and open market for their milk
products.
Up to this time, the various -pri-
waite milk-hauling trucks, the CO.
operative milk trucks and even
trucks of the dairy company itself,
have been required, under the law,
to secure a permit from the Public
Service Commission in order to
operate over definite route and on
! definite schedule and to charge a
definite fixed rate for carrying the
milk. These rates, routes and
schedules all have to BE approved by
the Public Service Commission, and,
in addition, they were required to
pay franchise tax to the state OF
Maryland, through the Automobile
Commissioners Office, on a ton
mile basis for the privilege of having
a protected route and for the privi-
lege of operating as common car
rier over the roads of the state OF
Maryland.
The Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has employed counsel and
will represent the farmers in the
Maryland Court of Appeals when this
case comes up for trial this month.
This is a time when it is necessary
for every dairy farmer in the state
to rally to the support of the Farm
Bureau organization because this
case affects every milk producer.
I'VE are going to need the active
moral support OF every milk pro-
Queer in the state and we are going
to need his financial contribution to
help with this important matter
especially if it resolves itself into q
legislative problem before the next
legislature. Recently, nine OF oul
dairymen were arrested in Talbot
County which is in Interstate MILE
Producers Association t rr t o y
Our farmers in the Maryland-Vir'
+ ginia territory are likewise vitality
interested because this same trans
portation problem is involved II
transporting their milk to Washing
ton. or course this particular cas'
has it's direct bearing on the Balti
more territory.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA


inception sixteen years ago this
month, and Boy Scout Week is be-
ing observed throughout the country.
Character building, citizenship
training hand in hand with home,
church and school; Americanization,
service-have been the ideals that
have built up the greatest organiza-
ton for boys the world has ever
known, the Boy Scouts of America.
From Feb. 8, 1910, when as the
result of the interest of few men
in the boys of America, the Scout
Movement was launched in this
country, until now, the Sixteenth
Anniversary. Scouting has grown
steadily and soundly.
Sixteen years has witnessed growth
from an idea and and an ideal to a
great national movement,-with a
present active membership Of $780,
TAI boys, led by 168,987 men, in
24,589 troops located in every part
of the country.
MUTE Ludu LWO anu q udAl AlltllOu
American boys have been members
of the Boy Scouts,-twO and half
million boys trained in citizenship
and service; over two billion good
turns performed.
2 Endorsement has been given to
Scouting by churches of all denomi-
nations and by the public schools
throughout the United States.
Each summer hundreds OF thous-
ands of boys spend a week or more
in camp learning to know and to
love nature.
The Boy Scouts of America has
had opportunity to prove its pre-
paredness to effectively serve in
war as well as in peace. Its record
of service and achievement is ar
enviable one Pershing's army in
France had 100000 men whose
training as Scouts in the mastery of
outdoors made them more valuable
as fighters. In the five Liberty Loan
Campaigns. Scouts sold 2,343,497
subscriptions amounting to $685.
s18O,367 worth of Liberty Bonds, and
more than $50,0O0,000 worth of
War Savings Stamps. Hundreds of
other valuable services to the United
States led the late Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt to express the sentiment
of the Nation by saying, boy
Scouts, you have made Uncle Sans
Team.
Since it's inception the Boy Scouts
of America has had as its motto
BE Prepared" and every Scout is
trained day after day in practical
readiness for emergencies. Almost
daily now comes occasion for hero
award to a Boy Scout Life Saver who
has risked his life to save others.
Through sixteen years of practical
service, Boy Scouts have been rec
ognized as valuable allies of Police
and Fire departments, the Red
Cross, and other emergency meet
ing agencies. They've stood the
test of being prepared to act and to
serve through floods and fires
through earthquakes and cyclones.
The Boy Scouts of America are
now engaged in nationwide ex-
pansion program so every boy, no
matter where he lives, may have the
opportunity to be Boy Scout.
Scouting is a constantly increasing
factor in building 100 per cent
Americanism into the United States
of Tomorrow.
Scouting means Service.
Scouting teaches boys to serve.
THE SCOUT OATH
On My Honor l will do my best:
l. To do duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout
Laws;
2. To help other people at all
times;
8. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight

In view Of the rapidity of last wek's advance, today's selling movement In the in- dustrals was not unexpected. | Renewed weakness developed in the Armour issues on expectations of poor quarterly report, and speculative fears for the safety of the dividend, the A stock breaking 3 points to Is 3-4. American Wool on and New York Gamers also were heavily sold. Bullish demon- ,$tations were conducted. in a few spccialties, Freeport Texas standing out by moving up nearly points to a new high at 32 1-2.
