Makes joy-bells ring in Heavens

Builds palaces in Kingdom come.
And lie who gives a baby birth
Brings Savior Christ again to

Believe 1t or Not, This
Bull Calf Has
Two Tails

It may be just another item
for Mr.. Ripley, but for Miss
Betty Bailey, of Gaithersburg,
Md, it is al event when a COW
belonging to her gives birth to a
two-tailed male calf.
Miss Bailey, a member of the
Montgomery County Guernsey
Calf Club, received the freak I'D
dition to her herd, April Z. While
the second appendage is much
smaller than the one from which
it is branching, it is nevertheless
distinct, and has a white tip on
the end of it.
Aside from this abnormality,
the calf is no different from any
other, and may in fact, soon be
like the others as its owner is
considering seriously the ad-
visibility of amputating one of
the tails.

REASSESSMENT
NOT To BOOST
TAX RATES.
Any Increase in Montgomery
County Will Apply to
Vacant Property

There will be no increase in
the tax rate in Montgomery
county as a result of the re-
assessment. of property now in
process by the board of assessors.
Although the assessors are &C
curately measuring the cubic di-
mensions of every building in
the county, it is understood there
will be no appreciable increase
in asSessable values of buildings
now standing. On the other
hand, it is learned that the in
creased values will be laid on
vacant, or unimproved property.
County officials say there will
be no penalty of high taxes i'm
posed upon those who build
homes, but that the unimproved
property will stand the brunt
of increased assessments.
Land values, according to these
officials, are the primary sources
of taxation. One official today
said that where person owns
land of more acreage than is
necessary for the proper main
tenance of home, where the
house is there, that person will
be taxed upon the increased value
of his unused land by reason Of
such occupancy. This closely ap-
proacheS the doctrine of single
tax advanced by Henry George

borough, First; and Vincent l..

A new rift has broken out in
the Fifth District between the
Ritchie and the Jackson factions.
The State. OF Ritchie, organiza-

is accusing Mayor Jackson and
his friends of using "big stick"
methods to control delegates and
leaders in that district.

The Jackson group threatened
to take law clients from a dele
gate on the Flynn ticket unless
he withdrew from the race. and
forced City Councilman Thomas
j. Collins to oppose the Flynn
group or lose his city patronage,
says the Ritchie organization.
