MACOMBER HEADS ' NEW MALE CHORUS
Two ConcerS 1 Yur PllnnM-
 Conductor En8lgd

Formation of . new male chorus in New Britain was consummated last night at | meeting at the New Britain Trust company which was attended by 50 of those interested. Oncers were elected and two weeks hence . name for the chorus will be formally chosen. The chorus At present consists of 50 selected voices. By fall, when its activities are to be- gin, the total is expected to be 60.
 Officers elected were: President. F. w. Macomber: vice president. E. R. Carter, IT,; secretary. H. Y. Stearns: treasurer, w. 8. Cannon; librarian. E. K. Bishop.
 The executive committee chosen consists of the foregoing officers and the following: John A. Lindsay, Ralph Britton. Andrew s. Parsons, F. w. Latham and George Hahn.
 Conductor from New York
 The conductor chosen to lead the chorus is Roy William Steele of New York, a widely known master of the baton who directs half a dozen choruses in and near the vicinity of the metropolis MT. Steele is profess sienally engaged in Hartford every Wednesday and conducts chorus in Simsbury on Thursday. He will leave New York IF hours earlier each week and will conduct the new local chorus each Tuesday night.
 It is planned to give two concerts during the year. the first in Decem- Der and the second in tho spring. Ten rehearsals probably will be re- quired for each. 50 that rehearsals for the December concert will begin in September. The place of rehearsal has not been decided upon. but probably will be in St. Marks parish hall.
 A committee to formulate q con- stitution and bylaws also was ap- pointed last night consisting of E. F. upham. chairman: Henry Schauffler and George Ward. This committee will report at the next meeting of the organization to be held at the New Britain Trust company on Mon. day, June 10.
 Aiacomber's Idea
 Formation of the new chorus re- suited after months of quiet work by MT. Macomber. Being identified with various other musical activities in the city he came to the conclu- sion that many good male voices hereabouts were not receiving suf- ficient outlets for their inclinations. Their untfication into . new male chorus, hs believed. would aid all existing musical organizations in- directly and be pleasure to the ln- dividual singers and . source of qualification and pride to the gener- al public.
 With the aid of musical friends he made . list of available male voices and came to the conclusion that chorus of merit was possible and that organizing effort would re- suit successfully. Approaching eacl, | of the singers individually he WAS vastly encouraged by the unanimous faith they expressed in the venture. Being aware that Conductor Steele visited Hartford weekly, he inter- viewed that gentleman as to his will ingness to add the local chorus to his list, and received q favorable re- sponse. The meeting last night was the climax of the organization per- iod, and almost every detail discuss ed was settled unanimously.

FORD COMPANY SUGGESTS
TWELVE RULES OF SAFETY
The Rules Are Merely Common
Sense Applied to Driving

AS a contribution towards greater
safety and more pleasant driving con-
ditions on the highways of the coun-
try this summer, the Ford Motor COM
pany has listed twelve rules as sug--
gestions to motorists and has dis
tributed them to dealers over the
country.
Announcement of the suggestions
was made today by County Commits
sioner Harvey Gortner, of the Motor
Service company, Grantsville, who
will display the list prominently in
his place of business.
"These rules" said Mr.. Gortner,
"are merely common sense as applied
to automobile driving. Every expert
enced motorist knows all of them. 1t
is our hope, however, that by stating
them concisely and posting them
where they will come to the attention
of a great many motorists, we can
so emphasize them as to make real
contribution toward greater high
way safety"
The twelve rules are:
1. Courtesy comes first. Consider
the rights and privileges of others.
2. Keep your mind on your driving,
and anticipate sudden emergencies.
8. Learn the "feel" of having your
car under control
A. Obey all traffic and parking reg
ulations.
5. Keep to the right and comply
with road markings and signs.
6. Signal for stops and turns
watch the car ahead.
7. Slow down at crossings, schools,
dangerous places.
8. Never pass cars on hills, curves,
crossings.
9. Adapt your driving to road con-
ditions-rain, ice, soft spots and ruts.
10. 1t doesn't pay to take the Fright

factors affecting the net cost per acre,
price per ton, average yield per farm,
cultivating practices, fertilizers and
harvesting are all clearly explained in
the bulletin through a complete set of
graphs, maps and photographs of the
larger producing areas Of the State.
The bulletin should prove of in
estimable aid to the grower since
figures relative to the cost of produc-
ton are given which have not been
available before for the average pro-
Queer. For example it was found
that the cost per ton of growing sweet
corn during the years 1925, 1926 and
1927 varied from $4.62 for some
farms to $112.34 for others. 1t is
also stated that the average price re-
ceived per ton was $13.67 and only 40
per cent of the farms growing 81 per
cent of the acreage in the State pro-
duced at a profit.

REPUBLICANS SELECT SIX
TO HANDLE CENSUS
Galen L. TAFT Makes Public List
of Proposed Supervisors

The names of the six persons who
will be recommended as the super
visors to have charge in Maryland
when the national decennial census
is taken next year were announced
Tuesday, June 81, by Galen L. TAFT,
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee Recommendation
is virtually equivalent to appointment.
The selection of the six was made
by a group formed by Senator Colds
borough and consisting "of the active
Republican leaders in the State" ac-
cording to Mr.. TAFT.
Named By Leaders
Members of the group were:
Senator Goldsborough; William P.
Jackson, Republican National commit
teeman for Maryland; Mrs. W. Bla-
den Lowndes, Republican National
Committeewoman for Maryland; Mr..
TAFT; Representative Frederick N.
Zihlman, Sixth district; Representa-
tive Linwood L. Clark, Second dis
trict; Mayor Broening.
The name of the proposed super
visor the first district is John j.
Stumph, Cumberland, comprising Gar
rett, Allegany and Washington coun-
ties.
The action of the group in select
ing the proposed supervisors was
unanimous, it was announced. The
actual appointment of the supervisors
rests with the director of the census.
When officially appointed, each of
the supervisors will in turn, "aided by
responsible local leaders," select the
enumerators who will take the census
within their designated local terri
tory. The date for starting the cen
sus will be May l of next year.
The following information concern
ing the proposed supervisors was
made public with Mr.. Tait's announce
ment:
Mr.. Stumph has been for many
years a leading Republican and citi-
zen of Allegany county. He was three
times elected a member of the Mary
land Legislature from his county, and
was a supervisor of the census in his
district for the taking of the census
in 1910.
Each of the supervisors will receive
about $4,000 for his services.

1856 MILLIONS IN SURPLUS
AT END OF YEAR
Secretary Mellon Makes En-
cOuraging Report at Close OF
Business Last of June

Washington, D. c., June 30-Tht
government finished it's 1929 fisca
year tonight with a surplus of 18s
million dollars and the public debt cut
to less than II billion, the lowest point
since the World War.
This showing was attributed, Secre.
tary Mellon said, to the widespread
prosperity of the nation.
Total receipts aggregated $4,033,'
100000, and expenditures amounted
to 100000. The former were
approximately 9 million less than col
lected last year. Expenditures in
creased 2O4 million over the previous
year.
A gain in individual income tax
receipts, due, the treasurer said, to
general prosperity and more specific
ally to the exceedingly active and con-
stantly rising securities market, saved
the government from a deficit by in
creasing 220 million and swelling the
total income tax collections to $780,
100000. The total exceeded the col
lections of 1928 by 1876 million, but
the amount received from corpora
tons was lower than that of last year,
because of a one percent decrease in
the amount of the tax.
Customs duties yielded the govern
ment 602 million, an increase of 33
million over the previous year, but
miscellaneous internal revenue re-
ceipts fell off IA million to GOT million
The loss, the secretary said, was due
mainly to the repeal of the automo-
bile tax which deprived the treasury
of 81 million. This amount, however,
was almost made up by an increase of
40 million in the tobacco tax and an
increase of 16 million in the stamp
tax.

of way" too seriously.
II. When you drive, remember the
times when you're pedestrian.
II. Know the law. 1t was passed
for your protection.
at is estimated that 100000 per-
sons will tour on American highways
this summer, "Mr. Gortner continued.
Recognition of the rights of others
will be essential. Many unpleasant
tries and accidents will be avoided if
motorists, at times of close situations,
will recall these rules and act accord
ingly. They are the recommendation
of the Ford Motor Company offered to
give greater peace of mind to those
who travel by automobile"

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN.

Resident County Agent,
Oakland, Md.

Spring lambs will soon be arriving
on eastern markets, and no doubt
many Of them will be of undesirable
market type.
There is one important factor to
consider when growing lambs for
market. First, who is the consumer
and what kind of lambs will satisfy
his demands. The principal consum-
er of lambs are folk who live in the
large cities, and on an average they
buy in small quantities and demand
choice cuts from medium size carcass
ses and Of good quality.
To meet these qualifications lambs
should weigh from rs to 85 pounds on
the farm with a high degree of finish
which is a good indication of quality.
Unthrifty, unlocked and uncastrat-
ed lambs are undesirable and will find
a poor market when they are sold.
If your lambs are stunted, and don't
seem to be doing well, treat them for
stomach worms. Give them a good
pasture and you may expect improve
ment.
