Remarkable GroupOf Prominent Speakers Will Address Thousands at the National Grange Ses=
 sion in Hartford, November l4-22

# the nation, who will assemble at Hartford. :,
 There is considerable likelihood that Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the president, will also at- tend the Hartford convention and be one of the great class to receive the Seventh Degree. Mrs Roose- welt has indicated her strong desire to attend, conditional upon being able to arrange her schedule for the day when the bgi class is ini- tiated, Friday, November 16. Her wish to receive the Seventh Degree in the Grange organization is nat ural, because she has already taken the six previous degrees, while President Roosevelt was initiated into the Seventh at the sesison of the National Grange at Roches- ter, New York, in 1880.
 On the opening day of>the Hart ford session, November IA, Nation al Master Louis J. Taber of Colum- ricultural program in his keynote address, summing up the agricul- tural situation of the nation and describing the Grange proess of the past 12 months. MT Taber is rec ognized as one of the outstanding farm leaders of the United States and the recent conference of all the national farm groups, organized at Washington to back a joint farm program, unanimously selected MT Taber as its head. He is frequent ly called in conference with ad- ministration oicials at Washington, and his keynote address at Hart ford will be expectantly awaited by the entire nation.
 Meanwhile reports on the big Hartford convention indicate even larger delegations from the vari- ous states, and larger prospects for the Seventh Degree, than were felt earlier in the season. A recent se- ries of special state Grange ses- sions in all the New England group, New York, New Jersey and other states has produced record breaking classes, whose members for the most part are planning to go to Hartford to take the supreme degree of the order. Special trans portation arrangements for the Hartford session include scores of busses and special trains, besides thousands of individual automo-, piles. Parking space for at least
 
 close proximity to the. meeting places of the Hartford session, and special police regulations for the Grange visitors will insure their maximum comfort and conven- fence.
 Plans for the big industrial and Agricultural exhibit in the State Arr mory at Hartford, running the en- l fire first week of the National Grange, have been greatly ampli- fled in the past few weeks and the entire space in the big armory win be filled with the various exhibits. The several state departments of Connecticut are cooperating heart | fly to make the exhibit portray an adequate picture of the resources and activities of the Nutmeg State, and the show will be one of the largest ever staged in New Eng land. It will be entirely free and many besides Grange members will travel long distances to witness it.

States s Prosperity
 Depends On Tariff
Favored Several New Deal Projects, But Opposed
 Others, GOss Declares Several Rallies Held

With four rallies last night and three scheduled for tonight, the republican party district workers are closing the campaign this week with considerabel flourish. Prom inent speakers were heard on high ly important issues of the can1- paign at the four rallies last night. They were sponsored by the Young Mems Italian Republican club af- ter a. dinner at Liberty hall; a sixth district and Waterville rally at Sprague school gymnasium; a rally for the Bunker Hill section at Pequot hall and a rally at Sprague school gymnasium; a ral- ly for the Bunker Hill section at Pequot hall and a Negro rally at Garden hall. s
 Congressman Edward w. Goss, seeking reelection from the fifth congressional district, was the principal speaker. He declared that Connecticut prosperity had been brought about by republican congressmen and their insistence upon protective tariff legislation. He pointed out there are many good features about the New Deal which he voted for, and equally as many bad things which he op- posed. He said 1t is predicted that considerable social legislation will be enacted at the next session of congress.
 Unemployment
 He said if, among the new legis- lation is included unemployment insurance, he is for 1t. He de- clared he is for old age pension and not pension limited to those of 65 years of age. MT Goss said he knows what 1t is to work in factories. T was a caster, mold man and fireman" he stated. 'I favor pensions to start at 55 years of age for those in certain occu- pations. We have pay sys- tenn at Scovill's and pay $130,000 yearly to maintain it. I can sec no reason why the same system couldn't be put into effect all over the country and think it would be better to have it regulated by the national government as in some staets the wages are not as high as in others"

solidation of counties and i'm.
provement of local government
will bring relief from real estate
taxation. it was declared today in
the majority report of the joint
legislative committee to study the
burden of taxes on real estate.
The next greatest aid to relief
from such taxation is the sales tax

clared, but this step was not rec
commended.
Details we're lacking in the re-
port by the committee, of which
Senator John w. Rust, Fairfax, is
chairman.
A minority report was filed by
Delegate Berkeley D. Adams,
Charlotte, advocating that the
State take over the schools. and
that taxes on a variety of subjects
be increased and others instituted.
Material reduction could be OBJ
tanned in real estate taxation
through fair taxation Of tangible
personal property and merchants
capital, the majority report de-
clared, adding the recommends
ton that the State Corporation
Commission have wider powers in
the assessment of physical prop

Doctors Give CreOsOte
For Chest Colds

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some
form for coughs, colds. and bron-
chitis, knowing how dangerous it is
to let them hang on. ..
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal e1e'
ments, quickly and effectively stops
coughs and colds that otherwise
might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet
it is absolutely harmless and is pleas
ant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Creomulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking Creomulsion as directed. Be-
ware the cough or cold that hangs
on. Always keep Creomulsion on
hand for instant use.

Suit Against Two
!. Commissioners is
Termed Political
James P. Veirs Alleges Salaries
Are Illegally Paid Diamond
And Hagner

James P. Veirs has filed taxpay-
er's suit against County Commission
ers John B. Diamond and Robert D.
Hagner alleging that the salary in
creases granted them by the Mary
land Legislature in 1881 were illegal.
The commissioners say that the move
is purely political and that Mr.. Veirs
is we'll known as a bitter enemy of
the county Democratic organization.
The suit, filed in the Montgomery
County Circuit Court at Rockville,
names Mr.. Diamond and Mr.. Hagner
as defendants, and also names County
Treasurer J. Forest Walker, who dis
bursed the salary increase.
Mr.. Veirs alleges that The act of
the General Assemblysof Maryland in
1881 increasing the board members
salaries from $1,000 to 81, 500 yearly,
was unconstitutionally applied, as he
cites the State Constitution, section
35, article 8, reading 'The salary or
compensation of any public officer
shall not be increased or diminished
during his term of Office" as proof
that the salaries collected by the com
missioners since 1881 were illegally
paid.
Judge Charles w. Woodward issued
rule to show cause against the COM
missioners on or before October II.
Mr.. Diamonds statement follows:
"On Saturday, James Veirs, a local
farmer, and bitter political oppon-
ent filed suit against Mr.. Harper and
myself, and asking that our salaries
restrained, although granted to
this extent by the General Assembly
three years ago. This is, of course,
purely political move, as were Mr..
Veirs' ridiculous suits in the last
political campaign. Otherwise, he
would not have waited three and one
half years after the salary increase
and until just before the coming cleo
tions to file this suit. He would also
have included the full board of county
who have also bene-
flied by this act, except for the fact
that we are the only ones of the orig
inal board who are running for re-
election"
Mr.. Hagner agreed with Mr.. Dia-
mond's statement.

Suddenly came the sharp command,
Halt! Escape was impossible. He soon
found himself facing the Union

To all questions put to him, he would
giggle and answer ask the crow, he

with loud "caws." This amused the
soldiers and finally, satisfied that he
was only foolish country boy, they
released him.
Still he was confronted with the
problem of reaching his division.

whom he told his story. This farmer

escape, in answer to his prayer.

assessments are consequently in line
with the other assessments of unim-
proved property throughout the sub
urban county.
The charge by the candidates of the
"out" group that / want to "retain
control" of the County political orga-
nization to continue such sales is en-
tirely untrue both for the reasons
that have publicly stated several
times since January last and for an
additional reason which even the most
skeptical must admit to be both final
and conclusive in that no more such
sales can be made in the Silver Spring
section as all Of the large parcels of
unimproved property that the county
can need for its school, park, public
building and highway programs in
this immediate section for the next
eight or ten years have already been
purchased. Also all of the property
