through interest in the local commu-
nifty.
In the recent Legislature of the
State of Maryland, as at other times,
certain residents of the community
petitioned for the right of incorpora-
ton of the Park as town. The Leg
islature of 1881 granted a referendum
on this subject.
We do not look with favor upon this
attempt to incorporate for the follow
| ing reasons:
% The charter of Mountain Lake
Park Association, Article II, states:
"The object of this Association
shall be the establishment of a
summer resort founded upon
Christian principles and designed
to afford opportunities for re-
ligious and literary instruction
and recreation"
The Bylaws of the Community of
Mountain Lake Park, approved under
Acts of the General Assembly of
Maryland, Section %, Chapter 430,
Acts of 1883, reads as follows:
"And be it enacted, That the
said Community is not to have,
possess or acquire any political
franchises whatsoever, nor any of
those powers ordinarily distin-
gushing public or municipal cor
porations from corporations or
associations merely private :. "
The Association was incorporated
and has been developed and operated
under these terms, which the plan to
incorporate as town would tend to
nullify.
(2) In voting for or against" incor-
poration, the stock of the Association,
held by the Board of Foreign Missions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is
without vote.
81 In case incorporation is voted
and put into operation, the Mayor and
Council can assess and tax properties
which are now held for the good of
the community and not for any per-
sonal profit whatever, and will be in a
position to so restrict the very pur-
pose for which the Association was
established and today exists, as to
counterfeit the work of the Associa-
ton. 1t is worthy of note that similar
places of assembly, such as Lakeside,
Ohio; Lake Geneva and Silver Bay
are allowed to operate in their respec-
tive communities free from taxation.
Even then, none of these are able to
finance themselves on the summer re-
ceipts but are obliged to draw upon
contributed or invested funds for sup
port.
Because the subject of incorporation
has been brought forward and be-
cause division of opinion has arisen,
it will be increasingly difficult to OPP
crate a successful program, thus
throwing increasing financial respon-
sibility upon the Association and in
creasing losses upon the neighbour
hood. Therefore, we cannot assume
that the Mission Board will continue
operation of the Park even though the
incorporation act fails of passage.
1t is quite certain that if the ref
erendum for incorporation passes, the
Board of Foreign Missions will with
draw its support not later than the
close of the present season.

Facts Versus Fancies at Mountain
Lake Park.

Facts Versus Fancies at Mountain
Lake Park.
To the Editor of The Republican.
do not propose to argue or theor-
ize concerning the proposition to turn
this summer resort into a twin town
to Loeb Lynn or a rival to Oakland.
Each of those towns has its peculiar
place and function; so has Mountain
Lake Park. Those living in Mountain
Lake Park and longing for the attrac-
lions of municipality, with petty Of
| fees to attract the politically ambi-
tious, can easily move into a corporal
ed town at small cost or change of air
and climate and without disturbance
or disruption of friends and fresides
long since established and peacefully
enjoyed.
Records show some facts which
were open and known to everyone vi
tally concerned with the affairs and
government of the Park from its be-
ginning, SO that nothing new or
strange has been sprung upon anyone
to take advantage of him and for
which he did not bargain and agree
when he invested in property here.
In the first place, we see the char
ter for this place recorded in Charter
Book No. l, page 65, and dated Sep
TENDER 20, 1881, for a term of 40
years, to establish and maintain a re-
ligious, literary and musical summer
resort, and further to build and OPP
crate hotels and stores for the accom-
mediation and convenience of residents
and visitors of the Park. The fellow
ing that charter by the court we see
an act of the Legislature of 1924,
made the original charter perpetual.
By carefully reading and studying
the Associations charter and the
deeds issued under it we can see
without any fancy of our OWN
whether or not we hold unrestricted
privileges to do business, desecrate
the Sabbath or demoralize society, as
our own wishes may suggest or a
Mayor and Council may allow, and yet
hold unimpaired title to the property
assigned to US under different or OPP
posite terms. 1t will do little good
now to attempt to undo what we have
contracted to do and try to put the
Association out Of business because
we have sworn to our own hurt and
want a change (See Psalm 15:4).
Following up the records we see
a contract in Land Book 10, p. 701, be-
tween the Association and all lot own
ers up to December 81, 1883, ''for the
better improvement of all the land
and for the fulfillment of the object
for which the Association was incor-
porated" to ask the Legislature to
incorporate the adjunct known as the
Community of Mountain Lake Park.
This was done by virtue of this con-
tract and agreement.
Now the new town charter proposes
to break the contract and purpose
thereof and to ignore the rights of the
other party to the contract and to de-
stroy the distinctive value and pur-
pose of Mountain Lake Park as a re-
ligious summer resort. Z.
We find ourselves facing these facts
whether we fancy them or not. We
also find ourselves facing very seri-
Gus moral as we'll as legal obligations.
We cannot go back and undo the
things we do not fancy; they have
been done. Like our past sins, I'VE
can repent and seek a new life and
life under a Mayor and Council,

Statement Authorized and Approved
by the Board of Directors Of Noun
tain Lake Park Association In Ses-
sion at Mountain Lake Park, Mary
land, June Is, 1881.
Board of Foreign Missions,
Methodist Episcopal Church,
$50 Fifth Avenue New York.
June Is, 1881.
To the Editor The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Editor:-Enclosed you
viii find a statement from the Board
of Directors of Mountain Lake Park
Association, which will be of interest
to your readers. We shall appreciate
its clearance in the columns of your
paper this week or next.
Thanking you, I am, x
Sincerely, ..........
JOHN r. EDWARDS. -
The Mountain Lake Park. Associa-
ton, corporation having a perpetual
Maryland charter, was taken over by
the Board of Foreign Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church on
June 9, 1920, with the understanding
that there was no financial or other
obligation.
Since the Association has come into
the control of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the work has been carried on
through a Board of Directors, part of
who have been closely identified
with the Park by residence and other
personal interests.
For many years-in fact from it's
very beginning-the Park, by reason
of its short term of operation, has
never met expenses. Formerly stock
holders and friends furnished money
to meet annual deficits. There has
been no exception to this rule since
the Park has been under the direction
of the Board of Foreign Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, ex-
cept that the deficit has been carried
by the Board of Foreign Missions
rather than by subscriptions raised on
the ground or from friends of the As
sociation. This deficit with certain
repair costs for upkeep, now amounts
to $110,133.61.
Summer resorts, similar to Noun
tain Lake Park, have undergone great
changes in recent years. Many new
resorts, accessible to the cities and
other communities from which Noun
tain Lake Park draws patronage, have
sprung up. Others have fallen by the
wayside for lack of patronage. Mean
while, under the leadership of the
Board of Foreign Missions, young
people have been attracted to Noun
tain Lake Park in goodly numbers
because pastors and other church lead
ers of Maryland, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia have encouraged and
assisted their young people to attend
institutes and conferences at Noun
tain Lake Park.
The Board of Foreign Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church has
furnished, since 1920, religious, ed
ucational and recreational program
which has brought into the Park sew
eral thousand people annually. This
program has been continued, even at
a financial loss, because of the good

Watch for Bumblefoot
in the Chicken Flock

During the winter months when the
flock is confined indoors ON hard con-
crete or board floors. few cases OF
humhleroot are likely to develop and
to require attention.
Bumblefoot results In an abscess or
corn on the bottom of the fowls foot,
usually caused by jar or brnise re-
ceived In jumping from perch that IS
too high to a hard floor Occasion
ally the trouble II caused by sharp
corners on the perches or by perches
that are too large for the fowls to
rest on naturally.
One OF the best remedies for bum
blefoot is prevention. See that there
are no sharp corners On the roosts
and that the ronsts are as low as they
can be placed conveniently, partlc-
ularly II one OF the heavy breeds Is
being housed. Another Item TINT Is OF
value In prevention Is the matter OF
keeping liberal supply Of clean litter
on the floors.
In cases where bumhlefo0t Develops
few applications OF tincture OF iodine
will usually effect cure. II applied al
the first signs Of foot soreness.

Bureau.
Pointing out the fact that approx
mately rs to 81 per cent OF the nogs

the Inland Empire farmers to study

Association Cows
Produce More Butter

BOHEMIAN, Feb 2.--The December
summary of the Montana Dairy Herd
Improvement Associations shows de-
cided increase in the number Of cows
producing DO or more pounds OF butter
fat, according to j. O. Tretsven, sup
erintendent Of the associations.
During November 1880 cows were
under test and only 284 of these were
listed as producing 40 or more pounds
OF butter fat The December summary
shows 2,231 cows under test with 321
making the 40-pound class A compar-
ison with December 1929 shows . still
greater improvement as only IL per
cent of the cows produced 40 pounds Of
butter fat that month as compared
with IA percent for December 1880
Among the various sized herds, the
December production average Of the
leading herd in each class ran about
the same as that Of the leaders during
November, with considerably less
spread between the high and low pro-
ducers. The leading herd of less than
Is cows averaged 1873 pounds of butter
fat for December exceeding the Nov
ember high mark by three pounds.
During November, the leader among
herds of Is to "A cows averaged 1913
pounds of butter fat exactly the same
average reached by the leader during
the month of December. Production Of
the leading herd of over 45 cows
dropped off little in December; as it
averaged 27.7 pounds as compared
with 31.1, in November. The spread in
production average among the leading
herds of each association in this class
was 8.4 pounds during November and
only 36 pounds in December

Egg-Eating Vice Needs
Immediate Attention

Whenever there Is tendency
towards the egg eating vice the eggs
should be gathered several times dai-
~. 1t may seem laborous task. but
Ii is the only safe course.
The trouble may MISC be prevented
by arranging the nests SO that the
fronts do not face the light. by turn.
Ing them around, fncing them towards
The wall the eggs are hidden from
view, and there Is less likelihood OF
any Inqnlsitiye bird locating the eggs.
All nest boxes should be arranged
so that they are at least foot from
the floor Of the house, thus preventing
the hens from coming into direct con-
tact with them.
