The holiday rush to New York
has taken on tremendous proper
tons, according to Pat Taft. Of
the Ludington Line. The call for
reservations started about the
18th and since that day this line
has been forced to run from
two to four extra sections each
day. When 1t is understood that
an extra section means q 1O-place
plane, one can more readily real
ize just how heavy aerial traffic
has become.
On Saturday, this line had q
call from the Naval Academy for
three extra planes to accommo'
date 70 middies who were going
North on furlough until after
New Year. And nearly every one
purchased o round-trip ticket
which speaks well Of the Acad'
emy's airmindedneSs.
For tomorrow. this company
has received an order from the
Army school at West Point
whereby they will bring 48 cadets
into washington from New York,
which will require five extra sec
tions to be used. Well over 20O
reservations have been made on
this line, going North, for today,
tomorrow and Wednesday. which
forecasts several extra sections

Jersey Calf Club Meeting.

How best to cope with the cattle-feedine
problem during the winter in view of the
acute shortage of corn and other customary
food, due to the unprecedented drought,
was given prominent consideration at a
meeting last Friday of the Montgomery
County Jersey Calf Club, held at the home
Of Russell Stup. near Laytonsville. and
attended by II members.
A suggestion that those having wheat
substitute it as 20 or rs per cent of a
grain ration seemed TO meet with favor,
and was recommended by Albert A. Ady.
assistant county agricultural agent, that
those not fortunate enough to have wheat
make mixture of oat or wheat straw and
moasses to help out. AS a substitute
for ensilage, beet pulp was considered
good ,.-,
The scarcity of water was also discussed.
Some OF the members reported that they
have only about one-fifth of normal
supply, and others that they are forced to
drive their stock from a half mile to two
miles to water or haul water those dis
tances. Some stated that they are engaged
in digging wells to augment their supply,

Rockville Water Problem Solved.

According to Mayor j. Roger Spates, the
Rockville Town Council expects soon to
take definite action regarding an increased
water supply for the county seat and gen.
eral improvement of the towns water
system.
The board has had the matter under
consideration for many months and has
it is known. considered and reconsidered
various suggestions without reaching any
thing like decision until very recently
The board has. so Mayor Spates stated
finally tentatively reached the conclusion
that the most feasible and economical thing
to do is to sink another well in the western
end of the town, or a mile or more removed
from the other wells from which the COM
munity derives its water, and establish a
pumping station and construct a storage
tank there, 1t is believed by the town
authorities that such an arrangement would
augment the towns water supply suffi-
GENTLY to meet requirements for long
time.
Consideration is also being given by the
mayor and council to the matter of addi-
tional and larger mains to comply with
SUGGESTIONS of the fire insurance compa-
MES, and the plan likely TO be adopted is. it
is stated, to girdle the town with larger
mains than those now ia use and to grid
iron the entire system.
Financing the projects is said TO be Civ
ing the mayor and council the most con-
Germ. Under the charter the town may be
bonded up to 10 per cent of its taxable
basis for improvements of the kind after
favorable vote of the taxpayers. The
towns taxable basis is now around ST.
900, 100 and its bonded indebtedness only
about 100000.
The improvements contemplated would
cost, it is estimated, something less than
$4,000. and the mayor and council are
expected at an early meeting to decide to
ask the voters to authorize bond issue in
that amount Should there be any surplus,
it would, it is stated. be authorized for
much need d street improvements.
To bond the town with its present tax
able basis for $4,000 additional would,
so F. Bache Albert. town clerk and treasurer.
stated. mean an increase OF about 2O cents
in the towns tax rate. but it is pointed out
that the town is growing, its taxable basis
Gradually increasing and big boost in
the basis is expected when new general
assessment is made.
The present tax rate of the town is but
80 cents on each 500 of real and personal
property, so it is held that an increase of
20 cents would not prove much OF hard
ship for few years.
A special meeting of the mayor and
council will be held next week to further
consider these important projects.
