MINIMUM TAX
PLAN PRESENTED
BY FARM BUREAU

The farm bureau believes it is
essential that the taxpayer be
shown a material reduction in his
tax bill the coming year, if he is
to be encouraged TO continue to
struggle. On the other hand. we
believe that if such a reduction is
shown him, that, (aSsuming some
improvement in economic condi-
tions) we may hope note only for
less delinquency, but a,or a consid-
cradle redemption of past delin-
quencieS.
With the full cooperation of all
the tax levying bodies, such a re-
duction may be obtained. To be-
gin with Assessor Weir has made
a material reduction in valuations.
The board of supervisors have as
sured the farm bureau, that they
will cut off the II cent road tax
that was levied last year. In ad-
dition nearly all the elementary
and high school districts are show
ing good reductions.
The county tax rate iSelf, how
ever, presents considerable diff
culties. The supervisors had made
a reduction of some $4,000 in
their general fund, but because of
the reduction in valuations. and
because less money is on hand
uly l, and because the general ell
and high school rates
are fixed by the constitution, it is
going to be difficult to hold this
rate down to the last year rate. /
The county rate last year was So
.53 per hundred. If figured on the !
same basis as last year, this years /
rate will increase to 1929. The |
farm bureau has presented to the !
a set-up, which We be-
lieve will comply With the law and 4
provide for the county's needs, re-
quiring a rate of $3.50.
The three rates compare as fol- /
lows:

ed on vessels and 10, 635 regular, and

Joseph Hewes Memorial

When the monument to Josph
Hewes, signer of the Declaration OF
independence, is unvaeled at Edeu-
ton, North Carolina, on April %, it
will be one of the outstanding featur-
es of the George Wasidgton Bicen-
tennial Celebration in the Old North
State and the entire country. The
memorial, erected by Congressional
appropriation, will overlook beauti-
full Edenton Bay from the foot of the
famous courthouse green.
An elaborate program for the died.
ication has been planned by the
committee in charge, and men of
national repute will participate as
speakers for the occasion.
The principal speakers will be
Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of
the Navy. Hewes rendered con-
spicuous service to his country DUR
ing the Revolutionary War and was
known as a friend of Washington's.
He died in 1879 in Philadelphia, his
death being directly due to overwork
occasioned by his activities in Con-
gress.
He was the real head of the CON-
Notice to fit out and arm vessels;
and, as chairman of the committee
OF marine, was in actual fact the first
executive head of the United States
Navy. His best service was per-
.haps as a member of the secret COM
mittee on supplies from abroad.
His business training and ability
and his experience as ship owner
stood him in good stead. He is said
to have used his own fleet of ships
to bring supplies to this country at
his own expense.

To The Farmers OF Maryland

The agriculture industry is strug-
Cling manfully to rehabilitate itself.
Due to drought, crop failure and
other circumstances during the past
two or three years, many farmers in
most of the States of the Union,
have found themselves in desperate
straits. The Federal Government
is DESTROYS of relieving this situation
to as, great an extent as possible.
In the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration Act recently passed by Con-
gross, special consideration was
given to the agricultural situation
and funds for loans to farmers based
upon the requirements of the appli.
cant for seed, fertilizer, feed and
work-stock, and made available ul
to maximum of $4,000 for the in.
dividual farmer.
Those in need of additional funds
for Spring planting should make
prompt application to their County
Agriculture Agent, located at the
County seat, where full details and
application blanks will be furnished.
The deadline for filing applications

Prevention Is Better Than
Cure

go to your family dentist at least
twice year for a thorough inspec-
ton of your mouth and teeth; then
follow his advice as to the care and
treatment they need" is the advice.
DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the
State Department of Health, gives to
all who are interested in keeping
their mouths healthy. incidentally,
he said that healthy mouth usually
means that the rest of the body is in
good condition.
eff you make it rule" he con-
tinued, ito go to your dentist every
six months, oftener, Of course, if
necessary, you give him. an opportu-
nifty to detect unfavorable conditions
when they are just starting and when
they can be most effectively brought
under control.
$50 long as their teeth are appar-
emily sound and do not ache, and SO
long as their mouths are fairly COM
Portable, most people are inclined to
put off these necessary mouth iu-
spections. Tooth decay is like other
ailments to which human beings are
susceptible. It is a disease, and the
sooner it is treated the less damage
it will do. But the teeth are not the
only parts of the mouth that are sub
liect to i'll health. The soft tissues,
the gums, the cheeks, tongue and
palate, are subject to disease also,
and need careful watching.
"All unhealthy or unusual condi-
tons of the teeth or gums need prompt
attention by a competent dentist, and
his instructions should be followed
faithfully. The use of tooth protec.
tive foods, plenty of milk, green,
leafy vegetables andSfresh milk, are
a great help in preventing and cor
recting unhealthy conditions of the
mouth. Rigid cleanliness in another
essential. Each month requires in
dividual attention.
go to your dentist for such at
tention. Do not treat gum diseases
or any other mouth ailments by
quick remedies, no matter how
highly advertised they may be. The
advice of your dentist should be the
first and the last resort. Do not put
off the examination. Prevention Of
any disease is better than its cure.
That is why visits, twice year al
least, to your family dentist, are
advisable.

Maryland had 1,O86 forest fires in
1881; 1853 of them burned between
April II and April 90. The fires in
1881 burned 28,525 acres; of which
1882 acres were burned during
the ten-day climax. The 1891 DAM
age amounted to $l0O, 3l5. and OF this
loss SAG, 4S0, occurred within ten
days, all of which suggests the ex-
IRENE necessity of being completely
prepared before the climax arrives.

No Prosperity In Four Per
Cent Beer

Elbow panicky is the state of mind
of a large portion of Congress is
illustrated by the proposal that the
government should again legalize the
manufacture of beer and light wines
for the purpose of raising revenue
by taxation" Horace G. Eastburn,
attorney, said in an address made
before the Wilmington Fact Finding
and Law Supporting Committee.
Mr.. Eastburn added that ENG
land and Germany are today swim
ming in four per cent. beer and yet
the economic conditions of either
country is incomparably worse than
that of the United States"
I'm fact" he declared, 'sthe only
industry that really thrives in Eng
land today is the beer industry.
England, does not laugh at our pro-
hibition as our wet propogandist's
would have you believe, and many
men of affairs in England regard
with concern the effort to defeat pro-
hibition in this country and wish
they could adopt prohibition for
England"
Mr.. Eastburn said that with Eng
land government control is farce
and more bootleg liquor is sold and
more speakeasies operate throughout
the country than are legalized and
controlled by law. He cited that the
reported drink bill in Great Britain
is 81, SOC, OOO, 600 a year.
'sSince the World War, the English
people have spent for liquor over
fifteen thousand million dollars. "
Mr.. Eastburn continued. "But will
any one say that this business or the
taxes received by the government
from it have in any appreciable de-
gree warded off the greatest finan-
cial crisis in English history.
Mr.. Eastburn then quoted Mr..
Snowden, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer as saying before the House
of Commons: eff we could abolish
the liquor traffic, and if l were re-
sponsible for raising the revenue of
the country, should view the pros
pect, with most complete compla-
cency."
He also quoted David Lloyd George
as having declared that eff we are
going to found the prosperity of the
country, we must cleanse the fonuda-
tons of the rot of alcohol"
The depression in England con-
tinues, Mr.. Eastburn said, in every
business except the beer business
which shows continuing profit.
After referring to proposed govern
anent control, Mr.. Eastburn con-
tinued: Il cannot believe that the
people of this country do not have
enough horse sonse to know that
such proposals will not get them out
of the industrial depression. We all
known that the cost of alchol under
government control has always far
exceeded the cost of war; that its
victims do not die out, but that they
increase and transmit their decay to
future generationa.

The nine forest guards al
ready on duty were augmented
by employment of eight others
in various sections of the State,
and requests for special vigil
lance were sent out to Mary
lands $50 forest wardens. AS
sistant Forester Walter j.
Quick, Jr., in charge of forest
protection, announced the APP

F. w. Besley, Maryland's
chief forester, announced a
particularly intensive effort to
attack every fire with special
determination during the next
few weeks, because of the
severe conditions anticipated.
Mr.. Besley observed that the
month of April is always the
most severe month for forest
fires in Maryland. He said
that the peak of the season.
covering approximately ten
days, usually taxes the fire
fighters to the utmost. Accord
Ing to the State Forester, "a
study of the fire record for 1881.
Tor example, indicates that one
third of the fires for the entire
year occurred within the ten
days from April II to 20. in

within this short period and
covered $4,000 acres with a
damage of $4,000. During the
