on the road to better times, it is well
to heed the lesson of such expert
ments. If all of US would determine
not to stretch our credit beyond the
due date, when we are able to pay,
things would go into high gear very
quickly. 1t is a program that can
be regarded as selfish or altruistic and
gets by either way. When we pay,
others can pay, and the dollars even
tually trickle back to us in debt pay
ments or in the purchase of goods or
in employment, as the case may be.
Each dollar sent on its way legiti-
mately is round-robin of prosperity.

NIMBLE DOLLARS

When a person pays debt to ar
individual or firm he starts series
of similar payments that are helpful
to many people and to business gen.
orally. When he withholds payment
his act has just the opposite effect ir
preventing others from meeting then
obligations and thus impeding the &C.
tivities on which the prosperity Of
everyone depends.
We all realize this in general way
but it takes an actual example to
drive home this lesson. An expert.
ment of this kind was made recently
by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
which placed in circulation three $50
checks donated by wealthy mem
Der of the organization. One check
was turned over to the Salvation
Army, another to a welfare society
and the third to a widow who was out
of employment The only stipulation
was that the checks be used for the
purpose of settling financial obliga
lions, and that they be not deposited
in bank but Endorsed from one hol
der to another, so that their RECORD
might be kept. At the end of sixty
days the three $50 checks will have
cancelled total of $4,000 of indebt
edness, according to the sponsors Of
the plan.
Similar demonstrations are familiar
to us. There is a man who prefers
to be known as "Dollar Bill" who goe:
about the country showing what one
dollar will accomplish. He was II
Oregon a year or so ago and made
demonstration in Astoria and perhap:
other cities, circulating dollar bill
with paper attached for Endorsements

PNEUMONIA TAKES HEAVY
TOLL IN MARYLAND
Only Two Causes Have Taken A
Higher Toll of Human Lives

One of the most unwelcome visitors
to any home-pneumonia-has been
responsible for 10000 reported cases
of illness in Maryland during the last
five years. During the same period,
it has caused nearly 1000 deaths
one out of every ten reported in the
State, from all causes, and at all ages.
Only two causes have taken higher
toll of human lives-diseases of the
heart and of the kidneys, The latter
have first and second places, respec-
lively, as causes of death in the State.
Pneumonia has third place and cancer
fourth. tuberculosis, which for many
years had first place, now stands
fifth.
Pneumonia is like huge giant
that stands waiting to pounce down
on human beings as soon as their
powers of resistance are lowered"
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health said, calling
attention to the precautions that
should be taken, following attacks of
grippe, influenza, and other diseases
that leave the system weakened and
that open the way for even more
serious ailments.
Increases in pneumonia may be
expected, he continued, whenever
we have serious outbreaks of infiuen-
"a or grippe, unless precautions to
prevent after-effects are taken by
those who are i'll, or who care for the
sick. Measles and other infectious
diseases, including neglected colds,
open the way for it also. The neglec-
ted cold is one of the most treacher-
Gus diseases we can have.
"a recently published cartoon pic
lures the neglected cold as a tiny
creature, an apparent weakling,
crawling through keyhole and I'M
locking the door of the wall of ply
steal resistance for the giant of pneu-
mona. The picture tells the story
we all need to learn.
"The best safeguard against pneu-
monia and the diseases that open the
way to it, is physical fitness. To
strengthen your resistance to diseas-
es, keep your digestion in good trim
by eating simple, wholesome food.
Avoid indigestible combinations. Take
plenty of water outside and inside.
Avoid over-fatigue. Keep regular
hours. Get plenty of sleep. Have
your sleeping room and the room in
which you work, well ventilated.
Avoid crowds and crowded places.
"Dress according to the weather.
Keep well protected against the cold
and wet. Avoid chilling of the body.
A chill following exposure to the cold,
lowers the resistance Of the protective
mucous membrane of the mouth, nose
and throat, making it easier for the
pneumonia germ to reach the bron-
chial tubes and the lungs"

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
J. H. CARTER,
Maryland Certified Seed Potatoes
Still Available
Resident County Agent,

Although the potato crop in the
State, was considerably shortened by
the drought, particularly on the Eas-
tern Shore where only about one
third of normal yield was harvested,
approximately $4,000 bushels of high
grade stock were certified in 1880, a
considerable proportion of which is
still available for spring planting, ac-
cording to DR.. R. A. Jehle, assistant
plant pathologist for the Extension
Service of the University of Mary
land.
DIR. Jehle reports that total of the
following varieties were certified:
5,073 bushels of Rural Russets; 1,115
bushels of Smooth Rurals; $3.50
bushels of Cobblers; 970 bushels of
Green Mountains and a few McCor-
micks.
However, most of the Cobblers
have been sold, or will be used by the
owners for seed purposes, so anyone
desiring this variety should get in
touch with the growers as soon as
possible. Sources of available seed
may be learned from J. H. Carter,
County Agent, for Garrett county, To-
Gated at Oakland.
DIR. Jehle points out that tests
have shown Maryland-grown certified
seed to be just as good, and in some
cases better, as any grown in north
,ern States and that there is no ne
cessity for going outside of the State
for seed potatoes as long as the sup
ply holds out.

a five set battle with Frederick j
Perry, brilliant young British in
ternationalist.
Met Twice
Lott and Vines have met twice

ed the lanky, l9-year-old coast boy

Despite this record, Lott will take

and magnificent play in the ma
