into the front-line trenches to keep
wheat from moving out Of the state.
The order was issued late Friday
after LANCER had held conferences
with his advisers and reached the CON-
clusion it would be dangerous to tn
terfere with interstate commerce by
attempting to prevent the railroads
from moving grain offered to them
for shipment.
To avoid entanglements with the
carriers, the new order directs ele-
vators not to accept grain for ship
ment or to ship out any now held by
them. The orders are to be served by
the sheriffs who were assigned to the
duty Of seeing It Is obeyed. II the
sheriffs are unable to do this, they
are to notify the governor who will
then call the guards into action.
The reactions Of the sheriffs and
elevator men were not Immediately
apparent, although 1t was assumed
there would be no widespread at
tempt to ignore or evade the order
because OF current low prices and the
fact that most holders Of wheat are
keeping 1t In the hope of higher prices.
Orders to the sheriffs were sent out
by mail Friday and It may be several
days before all Of them are fully adj
vised as to what Is expected Of them.
In the meantime no further action
by the governor was anticipated, de-
pending the outcome Of his latest
move.
Pleads for Support

sheriffS with an appeal to wheat
growers and elevator men to observe

Of The Montgomery County Sentinel
Rockville Publication Has Been Published Every Week
Since August IL, 1855-SOme Past "reminiscences
Recalled In Browsing Over Old Files

Next week will mark the 18th an
niversary of the Montgomery County
Sentinel. The newspaper was continu-
ously edited by the Fields family for
II years, the publication passing into
new hands last July. With the old
spirit Of goodwill and the new spirit
of modern activity. The Sentinel en-
tiers upon its 18th year with every
hope for the future.
In browsing over old files, many
"reminiscences Of the past three-quar-
tiers Of century are recalled. In spite
of early vicissitudes and the storm and
strife of the Civil War period, there
is every evidence that The Sentinel
was kindly thought Of by every man,
woman and child in the early history
Of Montgomery County. Hundreds of
old receipts for subscriptions bear
mute witness to the fact that the peo-
pie Of the county read The Sentinel.

Narrative Health
Report For July
Given For County
Two Cases Of Spotted Fever Oc-
curred-Sanitary Surveys
Made

Two cases of spotted fever in Mont
gomery County were reported during
July. One occurred in the central part
of the county and one in the eastern
section of the Suburban district. Both
were small children who had been bit
ten by ticks.
Parents should continue to examine
their children for ticks at least once
a day during the next two or three
weeks. After this time tick bites are
much less apt to occur.
In order to assist householders in
isolating child taken sick with a
contagious disease, the Health Depart
ment has prepared printed directions
for this purpose. These will be dis
tributed by the Health Department
nurses and practicing physicians
whenever cases of typhoid fever, scar
let fever or diphtheria occur.
The Health Department is now
using the improved form of diphtheria
toxoid in it's preschool child health con.
ferences. This material gives an eff
fective protection against the disease
with only one incubation. 1t is called
"Alum Precipitated Toxoid" and is
similar to the toxoid previously used,
the only difference being that the tox-
old is absorbed more slowly and
therefore, stimulates the body over a
longer period of time. The material
is distributed by the Health Depart
ment through physicians, so that any
parents may have their children i'm
munized by going to their own doctors
In the past few months sanitary
surveys have been made at Gathers
burg, Potomac and Barensville. Ex,
cellent cooperation has been given by
the citizens and the town authorities
Of these places, and almost all Of the
unsanitary conditions have been cor
rected except in one of the towns in
which the work has just begun. The
following communicable diseases were
reported:
Typhoid Fever, 1; Spotted Fever,
2; Measles, 1; Scarlet Fever, l;
Whooping Cough, a; Diphtheria, 1;
Influenza, L; Chickenpox, 1; Tuber-
culosis, 6; Meningitis, 1; Pneumonia,

Auto Dealers Back

County Business Men First
Local Group To Act Con-
certedly For Relief

The Montgomery County Auto Deal
ars Association is probably the first
organized group in the county to come
out in support of the Administrations
blanket code for shorter hours and
higher wages, according to Edgar
Reed. who has been named on COM
mittee to represent this county in
working out a Statewide code for the
automobile dealers.
In order to facilitate the adoption
of a Maryland code for that particu-
lar industry, the State Automobile
Dealers Association has divided Mary
land into several district. Those coun-
ties adjacent to Baltimore and Wash
ington comprise one district, namely,
Montgomery, Prince Georges, Balti-
more and Anne Arundel.
At meeting held at Silver Spring
last week, county dealers decided upon
their change in hours and prices.
While at present, as Mr.. Reed ex-
planned yesterday, the national code is
vet unfair to automobile dealers,
principally because the smaller gar
ages may cut prices, it is felt that the
adoption of the State code now being
worked out will solve the difficulty.

At QuanticO Next Sunday;
About SO Men From County


The officers and men of Company
"F" 23rd Regiment, Fleet Marine
Corps Reserve, with headquarters at
Rockville, will begin their period Of
annual training next Sunday, August
9Th. Half a hundred Montgomery
County men, under the command Of
LIST. Lieut.. Ralph M. King, of Rock
vile, will leave for Washington, where
they will join the Sixth Marine Re-
serve Brigade, of which Company ''F"
forms part. The Brigade will then
go by boat to Quantico, Va, where
the officers and men will begin a ten
day training period.
The training program this year calls
for five day stay in Quantico, dur
| ing which time the members Of the
Brigade will fire on the rife range
and prepare for five day "war" to
take place in Charles County, Md,
against an imaginary enemy. This
promises to be the most interesting
and practical training the Marine
Corps Reserve has ever undertaken.
All the principles of actual combat
will be put into play, from trench
warfare to air raids.

and after the dreadnaughts Of the
Navy have silenced the shore batteries

Of the Third Provisional Battalion Of

of regular Marines and Reserves. The
mission Of this landing force Is to
drive back the enemy and hold enough
ground to enable larger units TO gain

losses Of men. After gaining a landing
other units are rushed ashore, the
combined force of Marines making
another thrust forward. During the

which employers received the agreement more than
fifty per cent of the total number distributed have
been given his printed Blue Eagle posters and stickers
In Rockville there is generous display of these

sire to cooperate fully with the national authorities in
their effort to promote recovery through shortening
OF working hours and increasing the number of en-
ployees.
1t has been estimated locally that the standard set
up through the NRA will increase the operating ex-

except that he can raise prices to meet definite in

After the purposes of the campaign
had been very thoroughly discussed
plans were made for holding two
meetings in each Of the above men
toned divisions of the county to &C,
quaint farmers with the plan and tc
procure their participation in re-
duced acreage for the county. Two
meetings are being held, the first fol
the purpose Of acquainting farmer:
with the details and securing Their
applications and to elect a committee
of three (3) to handle the program in
the respective communities. 1t will be
the duty Of this committee to check
over the acreage and production spec
flied in each application and to form
convenient centers for any who might
not attend meetings, to secure infor-
nation and sign applications.
1t was decided that the important
thing for farmer to do is to attend
the meetings as there will be no other
way of acquainting him with the COM
plete details of the plan. The farmer
should also bear in mind that in
cases where solicitation of individual
wheat growers might be done, the
growers involved will be required to
stand the expenses Of such services
This type Of service would also delay
the campaign, which so far as we know
now must be completed by September
End. Any who have not signed at the
end of the campaign will be definitely
out in SO far as cooperation with the
Government and receiving compensa-
ton payments are concerned.
1t was rather definitely discussed
that the worthwhile farmer will make
it point to be at the meeting and
learn how to receive his share Of the
$104,838.10, which has been allotted To
Montgomery County, and not much
effort will be made to solicit farmers
who are not sufficiently interested To
come to the meetings. The proportion
of the money which should have gone
to farmers who did not sign, will re-
turn to the Treasury Of the United
States and represent definite loss tc
