GETTING AND GIVING

John D. Rockefeller, the only man
in the world who ever gave away
half billion dollars, was 80 years old
on July 8.
Get all you can, keep all you can,
give away all you can" When he was
IA years of age he went out in the
world to earn his living as a clerk in
commission house, and a record
kept at that time shows that he
earned $4,000 for three months work.
A year later his salary was $500
year, and even at that time he was
saving all he could in small amounts
to various enterprises, principally to
aid some branch of the church activi-
ties. Ten cents to foreign missions,
a small contribution here and there,
gradually increasing the amount as
his resources permitted. Thus begun
the man who has given away more
money than any but a half a dozen
men in all history ever possessed.
The Rockefeller fortune ceases to
be news. A decade or so ago all the
yellow journals and still ''yellower"
feature writers were condemning the
great Rockefeller wealth, and if we
remember correctly the Baptist
church refused contribution because
the money was tainted" But times
have changed. AS this man, the
greatest giver of money of all ages,
turns the 80 mark, his past gifts
stirs the imagination and we re-
member that his gifts are responsible
for:
Breeding places for disease and
pest spots being cleaned up and made
healthy.
The sick in hospitals being given
aid and comfort that they could not
have otherwise received.
Age-old maladies that have long
defed the skill and knowledge of
famed scientists are being conquered,
and health organizations functioning
all over the world, seeking to make it
a better and more comfortable place
in which to live.
Sufferers from earthquakes, floods,
disasters of every description, with
out regard to color or creed, whether
Catholic or Protestant, whether
Christian or Pagan have been relieved
by gifts out of the funds accumulated
by this money making genius.
The world is better for his having
lived.

WHAT NEWSPAPER ADS
DID

1t was only few years ago that the
retail stores in towns and the smaller
cities did the bulk of their weeks bust
ness on Saturday. While the other
five business days might have paid ex-
penses the merchant depended upon
the Saturday sales for the major por-
ton of his weeks profit. Needless to
say the average merchant would have
been exempt from excess profits taxes
in those days.
The newspaper is given credit for
discovering the possibility of scatter
ing the Saturday peak load over the
six business days of the week and it
was the newspaper advertising which
has achieved the present more equit-
able distribution of the weeks bust
ness. Saturday is still the merchants
busy day, but now he is only little
less busy on the preceding five days.
This is only one of the many serv-
ices performed for business by news
paper advertising. 1t is irrefutable
that great part of the increase in
business experienced by the retail
stores generally in recent years has

SELL GARRETT COUNTY

Garrett county is full of oppor-
tunities. "Acres of Diamonds" are
ours for the taking. But, like all good
things of life, effort is. a prerequisite
to accomplished desires.
Selling Garrett county should not
be regarded simply as side issue, or
a mere effort to win the popular ap-
proval of our neighbors and friends,
but rather as a duty owing to the
county and community in which we
live and from which we derive pro-
lection and comfort. The develop
ment of the Deep Creek section has
gone long way toward directing at
tention to the possibilities that lie in
the development of the natural en-
dowment of western Maryland. There
are many spots in this county, which
with proper and intelligent effort,
can be made the Mecca of those who
recognize the efficiency of the great
outdoors as a sedative to tired
nerves and relief from the humdrum
existence of every day life. 1t is be-
cause more and more a fixed habit of
our people to take the opportunity
which vacation time affords them to
see what God, in His lavishness, has
builded for their enjoyment. But it
is only by the combined efforts and
coordination of service and civic
clubs, bankers, editors, ministers-in
fact every man and woman irrespec-
tive of their station in life-that the
tourist public can be induced to visit
Garrett county. Each of US must be
willing to invest more of our energy,
time and money in selling our county
to the outside world. 1t will repay
US many fold.

NO RUSH is PREDICTED
FOR NEW BANK CURRENCY
U. S. Government Hopes New
Bills Will End COunterfeiting

Although smaller-sized paper
money was available to the public
when the banks and trust companies
opened for business yesterday morn
ing, officials of financial institutions
said they did not expect a rush for
the new style of currency. 1t will re-
place that issued by the United
States Treasury since 1861.
The bank officials based their opin-
ion on two points. First, that money
is money, whether large or small,
and, second, that many persons hand
ling paper money never visit a bank.
The greatest business, they said, is
expected from those persons who will
consider the new notes a fad. Be-
cause of this they believed there will
be enough of the new currency to
meet the demand.
Was Issued Wednesday
The banks will not confer the ex-
change to depositors or others doing
regular business with them, it was
said. Banks, officials explained, are
business houses and all persons enter
ing them would be treated alike.
The money will be distributed to
the commercial banks by the Federal
Reserve banks. The new currency
was issued July 10 as of July 10,
thereby making it possible to put it
into immediate circulation.
New And Old Size
The present size of bills is seven
and seven-sixteenths by three and
one-eighth inches. The new bills are
five and five-sixth inches by two and
eleven-sixteenth inches. This new
size has created a demand at leather
goods and department stores for bill
folds of a smaller size. Many of
these have been put on the market
in anticipation of Wednesdays issue.
The same back design will be used
for all denominations of the new bills.
The outstanding feature of each de-
nomination will be the portrait car
ried on the front. Washington's por-
trait will appear on the 81 bill; JEFF
ferson's on the 81 bill; Lincoln's on
the SIS bill; Hamilton's on the $40
bill; Jackson's on the $40 bill;
Grants on the $50 bill; Franklin's
on the 500 bill; McKinley's on the
$500 bill; Cleveland's on the $1,000
bill; Madison's on the $4,000 bill
and Chase's on the $4,000.
May Stop COunterfeiting
By the plan of portraits and by a
new system of distributing the silk
threads in the texture of the bill the
Government hopes to defeat counter
feiters. The new bills, it was said,
will be particularly difficult to copy
The Government also expects to
save approximately $1,500,O0O by the
change to a smaller size bill.

Trains and buses arrived at Lee
Hall, Va, throughout Saturday faster
than their occupants could be "pro-
cessed," and the line of applicants in
creased with the hours of the day.
Examining Officers Strict
Examining medical officers were
exceptionally keen and particular this
year, and some of the minor physical
defects that might have been over
looked in more cursory examination
caused reflections. The applicants for
Fort Eustis were from Maryland,
Virginia, District of Columbia and
parts of Pennsylvania.
Prepared to Crochet
Many of the men brought musical
instruments, ranging from the har-
monica to saxophones. Athletes
brought loads of equipment. In some

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN

The last two weeks in July, August
and the first two weeks in September
is the best time of the year to select
your breeding hens from your poultry
flock. The lower producers will stop
laying by the middle of September
and the best hens will be going right
along. The good hen will look rather
ragged because of their old weathered
feathers and their shanks will be faded
(almost white), which is an indica-
ton they have produced heavy.
Select your breeding stock for your
poultry with care as you would your
livestock and you will receive more
profit per hen.
Dairy heifers that will freshen this
fall should have some grain in addi-
ton to pasture during July and Au-
gust. 1t is important that heifers
have their full growth by the time
they freshen so that they will be
ready for motherhood and the produc-
ton of milk

SHOTS THAT RING
By Charles p. Driscon

L rather hope there won't be a vogue for shooting
among the publicity men. A good shooting is one
way to attract attention, of course, but it's a difficult
situation to fake SO as to make it observation-proof
I had a most interesting and amusing experience
with a fake shooting story when a newspaper re-
porter in Omaha.
There were three afternoon newspapers with re-
porters assigned to police headquarters. The other
two reporters stood in with the police. / was required
matter what they did, so I became very unpopular at
was most unpopular with the chief of detectives,
a fat, r~ed-faced, jolly, ~flat-foot, who had been a rail-
way switchman and probably was rather good at
throwing switches in the od-fashioned manner. In
seeking out crime, he knew just one trick: torture.
Third degree, if used Unfortunately will get a lot
of confessions. The only trouble is that hardly any
of the confessions are true, because it just happens
that the police get the wrong elbows into the torture
chamber.
We'll, had written some news stories that didn't
help the chief with his public, and he and the other
two reporters sat in council on the situation.
One noon the other two papers came out with ex-
tras reporting a sensational attempt on the part OF
a gang of bad criminals to assassinate the chief
while he sat in his swivel chair in his office at head
quarters.
I was scooped. My paper followed along with the
story later in the day. I felt pretty bad about it. The
shooting, it seemed, had occurred while I was on my
way to the office just before noon.
The story was quite circumstantia1, and there were
the bullets, imbedded in the brick wall, near the de-
tective's window.
I talked to the chief about it. I asked him innu-
merable questions. to which he gave expert answers,
I caught him on the manner one Of the criminals
had been reloading his pistol as he ran across the
street. The shooting had all been done by this fellow.
who then proceeded to put another clip into his pistol.
But the bullets were from an old-fashioned re-
volver, and not from a pistol! I had trapped the
chief dick, much as detectives are supposed to trap
common folk. The exposure, and the chiefs confess
sion, were my reward.
