A Tribute To the Late Michael
]. CAVITY

One more good man has gone; one
more good citizen has been removed
from our midst. From the multiple
ity and urgency of the concerns of
this life around him and the lives of
those dearest to him, he took time for
secret meditation and thanksgiving
for the many blessings handed downto
him from an Omnipotent Creator and
Father.
"The strenuousness, the urgency,
the hurry of the thing in view cannot
prevent a good thought from taking
possession of the mind before the
business of the day is entered upon.
Benevolent thoughts have the same
effect upon the soul as a seal has upon
melted wax: for, should but one ap-
preciative sweet thought enter ever so
slightly into the mind, it is sure to
leave some impression upon the
heart"
Such was the soul of Michael ].
CAVITY of endearing remembrance.
Such was the heart with which he
greeted his many admiring, affection
ate relatives, friends, and associates.
In his faith was enrolled the lessons
of his conduct and his example and he
kept those pages open before him to
guide and consult when undertaking
his every new responsibility. He de-
prived his God of nothing to which
that God had right. He was taught
to revere and love his Maker by ex-
ceptionally worthy parents. This
writer knew the father of the late M.
J. CAVITY at Westernport when the
elder Canty was very young man,
during the pastorate of Rev. FIR. o.
Sullivan, some sixty-five years ago.
When his amiable soul was recalled
from his prison of clay so uneXpect-
eddy, just so suddenly he glimpsed the
searchlight of the royal celestial court
converting at the foot of the dazzling
jeweled throne to welcome this new
est, most welcome trembling arrival.
Those of his friends who will miss
him most can be assured that his very
last words to his Lord was, "Be it
so, Father, because it is Thy will"
The loss of this loving husband and
father is in the light of a blessing
from Celestial land when we consider
it is the order of Providence.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

The annual levy for the county was
made by the Board of County Com
missioners and printed in The Repub-
can. The county rate of taxation was
SLOT and the State rate was 17A
For schools of the county $4,000 was
appropriated and for roads the sum of
$6,875 was set aside.
The remains of the four-year-old
child of Samuel Mosser was found in a
glade about three-quarters of mile
from it's home. The child became lost
carly during the preceding fall and
although every effort was made to
find it no trace of it could be learned.
Mayor A. G. Sturgiss was sworn
into office by Clerk Tower. William.
Hinebaugh was elected president of
council and John C. Durham, clerk.
George M. Mason was appointed town
treasurer.
Justice of the Peace A. B. Gender
moved his family from West Liberty
street to the William Casteel farm
north of town.
The dwellings of George Dewitt,
Hoyes, and that of Samuel c. Hoye,
Deer Park, were consumed by fire.
Jacob S. Meyers proved himself to
be crack rife-shot. He fired fifteen
rounds at four-inch bulls eye at one
hundred yards and-missed every
time.
The Protestant Episcopal church
fight in Oakland was being waged fast
and furious. Neither side showed any
sign of giving in and the battle was
to be fought to bitter end. The YES
try nailed up the doors of the church
to prevent the entrance of Rev. Hip
kins. He left for Baltimore to con-
suit with Bishop Paret regarding the
trouble. 1t was said that the Bishop
sided with Hopkins against the vestry.
Interesting developments were ex-
pected within a few days.

provements. The slogan, "Let those
who can afford it do the thing that
ought to be done," was reiterated in
newspaper publicity and in speeches
before service clubs, women's clubs
and other organizations.
The economic soundness of the Mum
Gle plan is rooted in two facts: that
the building and materials industry
ranks first in America in point of men
employed; and that go to $3.50 of the
money spent on reconditioning exist
ing structures goes to labor.
Now, as after the war, building is
behind normal needs. To stimulate
reconditioning of existing structures
will, it is believed, restore activity in
the building trades and industry with
out inducing the frantic over-building
of 1923-28, which in some degree was
responsible for the crash of 1929

THE LIFE BLOOD

advertising is the life blood of an
institution if properly handled" be-
lieves Richard P. Chapman, success
full mid-western independent retailer
who has doubled. his business during
the past ten years in spite of chain
store competition.
Advertising should be the last ex-
penditure cut and: the first to be in
creased, is the advice that he gives
in an article in The Rotarian maya
zine to merchants trying to meet
present-day conditions.
"This does not mean that all adver-
Using is good" he declares. Neither
does it mean that any form of adver-
Using will continue to produce in the
future simply because it has pro-
duced in the past.
"In the careful consideration of all
factors which affect the future of
good business, the merchant can well
afford to devote considerable time to
the study of advertising. In many
cases it has been used as a shovel to
heave out unwanted goods instead of
as a spoon to feed the customer de-
sired merchandise.
"All types of advertising must be
studied constantly in an effort to as
certain that which serves to best ad-
vantage in acquainting the store and
its merchandise with the prospective
customer in its trade territory.
"The amount to be SPENT" he con-
tinues, SHOULD be determined as part
of fixed expense budget. Authorities
vary as to the proper amount, but it
generally runs from two to five per
cent of sales. Once this amount is de-
termined, it should not be arbitrarily
spread over the entire year but kept
liquid to take advantage of either in
crease or decrease in volume as the
year progresses.
Money available for advertising
should be carefully fitted to the medi-
ums best suited both to the business
and to the amount allotted. A pro-
gram should then be laid out far
enough in advance to permit the pur-
chasing of merchandise and the cor
relating of it with advertising, the
display windows and the interior dis
plays. If followed carefully, this
plan gives advertising a real message
and it will produce. Profits are made
by advertising, but not all advertising
is profitable"

The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY'S CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

ate the important objects promised"
After some discussion, the group de-
cided that the scope proposed in the
original plan was too broad. Accord
ingly a second meeting was called on
January 9Th, 1918, at which "The
Frederick County Bible Society" was
formed, "for the sole purpose of dis
seminating Gospel truths" This So
ciety was the fore-runner of the
Young Mems Bible Society of Freder-
ick City, which superseded the parent
body in 1925. In 1926 the Society I'M
derwent another change, being known
from that year as the Young Mems
Bible Society of Frederick county
Under that name this Society was in
corporated by the State Legislature
on March 18th, 1928. 1t has stood for
the unity of the churches in Freder-
lex, from its foundation unto this day.
and has now rounded out more than
century Of valiant service for the
Kingdom Of God.
Through most of these auxiliary So
cieties fourished for a season, then
passed into oblivion, leaving but scant
records of their achievements, we
should never forget that the modern
federation of Churches came to its
worthy place in our urban life largely
on the trail blazed by these pioneer
Bible Societies. In Maryland, these
organizations were the first in which
members of different denominations
met upon an equal footing and in COM
mon fellowship. In a report of 1922
we read these cheering words: at is
pleasing, on such an occasion as the
present, to behold all sects and de-
nominations of Christians, extending
to each other the right hand of fellow
ship and brotherhood; animated with
one common anxiety to promote the
glory of the Master of the harvest"

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

THIS is TO GIVE NOTICE To the
taxpayers of Garrett county that the
annual levy for 1882 has been made
and published and to call their atten-
ton to the following abstract of Sec
ton As, Chapter Sc, Acts of 1890, re-
lating to the discount to be allowed
and interest to be charged on all tax
bills:
GAIL county taxes shall be due and
payable on the first day of September
next succeeding the date of the levy
thereof, and on all county taxes paid
on or before the first day of Septem-
Der discount of 8 per cent will be
allowed, and after the first day OF
January all county taxes shall bear
interest at the rate of six per cent per
annum until paid. The treasurer shall
take the discount from and charge
the interest on the tax bills for county
purposes regularly in the manner
aforesaid, and shall note the same
upon his books and upon the receipts
given on the taxes paid. But the dis
count shall not be allowed unless the
whole amount of State and county
taxes are paid when the same is
made"

MUNCIE SHOWS HOW TO RE.
STORE NORMAL PROSPER
ITY NORMALLY

Business men at Muncie, a typical
Indiana small city, have a plan for
during dollars out of teacups and socks
and putting them to work making jobs
for the jobless, better homes and
steadier business for the retailer. The
idea is to call attention of citizens
through an organized campign to the
fact that it is to their self interest to
repair, remodel and modernize homes
now when labor and material costs
are favorable.
1t is a simple plan, but it works.
An investigator for the Rotarian Mag
azine learned that within two weeks
after the campaign started in April
last year. unemployment in the build
ing trades had shrunk from 800 to
to 300, while calls on relief agencies
had dropped by more than half. SIM
Hilary favorable results have followed
more recent efforts.
"Not only that" the magazines sur
vey reports, "but retailers were bene-
flied too. Corner grocers sold more
bread and beans and ham; dairymen,
more milk. Dry goods merchants
noted that assets long frozen in ac-
counts began to melt. One dealer in
building supplies publicly declared
that 1870 of his business could be di-
rectly traced to the campaign"
An initial $4,000 budget was raised
in Muncie, all of which was spent for
newspaper advertising under direction
of the Chamber of Commerce. But
that $4,000 released more than $780,
900 in wages for the unemployed
which, comments the magazines rep
resentative, remembering this is not
the age of miracles, compares rather
favorably with the loaves and fishes
story Of the New Testament recollec-
ton"
The Muncie plan did not aim at a
sudden building boom, but rather a
steady development through home i'm

During the period of spiritual de.
preston Immediately following the
second war with England, Baltimore
lost, for few years, its zeal for Bible
distribution. Alexander Contes Han
son when called upon to speak in q
meeting of the Bible Society, held al
this time referred to the interest in
the Bible in England and Russia, and
expressed the hope that Baltimore
might escape punishment for failure
to support the Society. Among other
invictives that burst from his lips was
the following: MAY an awful judg.
ment as a visitation for its contempt
for Gods word prove a retribution.
In 1919 and 1920, Hon. Nicholas
Brice, Chief Justice of the City served
the Society as its president. Under
his administration, in 1921, an Auxil-
larry Society was organized in connec-
ton with the American Bible Society
with Robert Smith, formerly secretary
of the navy and of state, as its presi-
dent. This auxiliary does not seem
to have lived very long.
The first society in Maryland out
side of Baltimore, was the Female
Bible Society of Rockville, Montgom-
cry county, and the Frederick Bible
and Charity Fund society came Sec

spouse to notices placed in the news
papers of the preceding week, sum-
moning together "all those that are
disposed to contribute their aid in dis
seminating the glorious plan of Saliva

quaint invitation stated that "these
persons were invited without distinc-
ton of party, sect, or denomination, to
attend, with a view to the formation
of Society that may tend to acceler-
