SURVEY OF
FIRST AND SECOND
SAMUEL

Eighth and Ninth Books in Old Testament
First and Second Samuel were the first
of the historical books of the IsraeIites.
They attained their present form about
$50 BIC.
The title of the books Is derived from
the prophet who appears as the principal
character in the earlier part of the mar
rative and who played decisive part in
the founding of the Hebrew monarchy.
The books record the turbulent career
of Saul and the spectacular life Of David,
the founder of the fleeting era of Hebrew
empire.
In the first chapter of Second Samuel
is one of the most magnificent passages
in any ancient literature, the lamenta-
tion Of David over the death of Saul.
''TelI it not in Gath, publish it not in
the streets of ASkelon; We mountains of
Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let
there be fields of offerings upon you
this is a brief quotation from the lamen-
tation of David, an utterance of lofty and
sustained beauty.

CHEVROLET ANNOUNCES NEW
SIX-CYLINDER CAR

The Chevrolet Motor Company has
again surprised the automobile
world, and announces new six
cylinder Chevrolet to the public.
"Our reason for changing from a
four-cylinder car to a six-cylinder
is that we feel we can appeal to the
public more strongly and serve them
better through six than four be
cause our volume has grown to s
point where we can give the public
six-cylinder performance at practi-
cally our old four-cylinder prices.
We feel that as result of this move
we can not only better satisfy our
trade but that we can also increase
our business in 1929 and the years
to come. ~
I'VE also feel that the public will,
get greater satisfaction in the ad-
ditional power, speed, acceleration.
fexibility, smoothness, and riding
comfort that this car will provide at
its low cost as compared with any
four-cylinder car"

car in Rising Sun are Arthur

PLAN TO MAKE 1920 LICENSES
MORE DURABLE

Maryland motorists who find the
weather OF color at time need not be
surprised to find their automobile
license tags in the same condition
The weather itself Ia responsible.
Atmospheric conditions have caus-
ed several hundred pairs of tags on
automobiles to change their light
blue background for light green
or a very waterish blue color, &C.
cording to oficials of the Commis-
sioner OF Motor Vehicles ofice,
Discolored tags are exchanged for
new ones upon application.
The Department of Welfare is
taking precautions to see that the
colors Of the plates for next year will
not change. The license tags are
made at the Penitentiary and the
colors are just the reverse of the
blue and white Of this year.

AIRPORT NEAR cHEsTERTowN
To Be Officially Opened Saturday,
December 1

L
December
The first municipal air field and
airport in the State is the boast OF
Chestertown.
L Final arrangements were made on
Monday, November 49,, through the
airport Committee of the Kent
County Chamber of Commerce with
Mr.. A. G. Ober, Jr., representative
Of Chesapeake Aircraft Company,
Inc, of Baltimore. for the establish
ment of an airport close to Chester
town.
The new air field is located one
mile from the center of the County
Seat at the intersection of the State
road leading to Tolchestr and the
Airy Hill road and is owned by Mr.,
Charles L. Dodd and Miss Eleanor
Lusby who have leased it to the Air
craft Company. The field is to be
the Eastern Shore headquarters for
the Chesapeake Aircraft Co., Inc,
and represents the establishment OF
passenger, freight and package SER
vice on larger scale than has hith-
erto been attempted.
Contracts have been let for the
erection Of ticket offices, fences.
parking spaces and necessary. feld
equipment. The erection of hang,
ers will be started in the near flu
ture.
-
The field will be officially opened
on Saturday, December /, at which
time an Aircraft Show will be staged
by the Air Corps Of the Maryland
National Guard under the Command
|ef Major w. d. Upton. The pro-
gram will begin at 200 p. M, and
Will have all the ships of the Mary
land Air Corps together with some
Of the Government bombing planes.
Parachute jumping and stunt flying
will be featured and an opportunity
for short flights will be given to the
public. Arrangements are being
made to admit $4,000 persons to the
field on this occasion.
TAX THE LOAFER
Theoretically, the perfect tax
would be a tax on inaction. The
proper man to tax would be the
loafer, not the worker; idle land,
not used land; inactive capital, not
active capital; lack Of enterprise,
not enterprise.
Such tax would not be practical,
but it would be just tax.
Our present taxes are based ON
an opposite theory.
We tax thrift, action, capital, en-
terprise.
We levy taxes In proportion to
ability to pay, which means that the
harder man works the more we
tax him; the more thrifty he be-
comes, the more we soak him; the
more efficient he grows. the more
we knock him down.
If man saves his money and
buys a house, he is taxed; If he
wastes his money in extravagant liv-
ing, he is not taxed.
None of our taxes encourage pro-
duction by the simple process of,
discouraging idleness, shiftlessness,
inefficiency.
