made to the Democratic national cam

Of the total amount of $77,023, full
ly $4,000 will be paid depositors liv-
ing in the Rockville trading area, it
is estimated. Nearly all of this money
is saved by individuals who expect to
spend the money for Christmas pres
ents and for necessities which go with
the Winter. 1t may be conservatively
estimated that fully one-half of this
amount mailed out in Xmas savings
checks will go to benefit county bust
ness men and county enterprises.
These savings range from the so cent
weekly deposit of the school child to
SIS, representing the savings of the
person who has been fortunate and
foresighted during 1882.
In conjunction with their "Buy-at-
Home" campaign, which is to be in
augurated shortly, the merchants Of
Rockville are getting in Christmas
goods and are otherwise frightening
up their stores for the Yule-tide sea-
son. In their campaign they will urge
the residents of the Rockville trade
area to do their buying in the county
seat. Attractive bargains will be off
cred and every effort will be made to
draw more people to Rockville to shop.

Damascus Protests
Against Gas Prices
AS Unfair Practice
Dealers In That Community
Would Be Forced To Sell Gas
Oline At Much Higher Rate

The gasoline dealers of Damascu.
met Monday night at the service sta.
ton of Robert L. Lewis and en-.
tered protest against their treat.
ment at the hands of the oil com.
panies in regard to gasoline prices
in that territory.
Bradley M. Woodfeld, prominent
automobile and gasoline dealer od
Damascus told THE SENTINEL yester.
day that the price of gasoline is
now and three-tenths cents higher
in Damascus than in the adjacent
communities of Cedar Grove, Etchi-
son and other nearby towns. This
condition of affairs, he maintained,
is both unwarranted and unfair. He
pointed out that the practice of gas
oline differentials not only hurts the
dealer but also affects the general
public which buys gasoline in Da-
mascus.
Each dealer at the meeting Mon
day night agreed to post the differ
ences in prices on their gasoline
pumps and write the oil companies
in protest. It was also voted to give
publicity to the matter as the best
means of informing the public that
Damascus gasoline dealers have their
hands tied in the question of gas
prices and that the dealers them
selves are not arbitrarily setting a
high price for gasoline and oils.

Portion Of This Amount Will Be Spent Here

Five banking institutions located in
the Rockville trading area of Mont

coming week $77,023 in Christmas
savings checks, a large amount of
which will be spent with the mer-
chants of Rockville. Although fnanc-

of money, there is but slight differ
ence between the 1882 and 1881 Xmas
savings total in this county.
The Montgomery County National
Bank reports a total of $4,000 to be
mailed out to depositors. The Farm
ers' Banking and Trust Company, of
Rockville, will mail out $9,725 from
its local institution, with $1,000 to be
sent out from the Kensington branch.
This represents total of $4S,7 35 from
the two Rockville banks.
The Bank of Damascus will pay out
approximately $4,000 next week in
Christmas savings checks. The First
National Bank of Gaithersburg re-
ports the sum of $1O,788. The Savings
