Elmer G. Berry Is
Fatally Hurt In
A Freak Accident
George H. Lamar Also Involved
In Auto Mishap Over
Week End

Elmer G. Berry, so, of Falkland
stopped at the car tracks just east
OF Rockville to let an approaching car
pass during the heavy thunder show
er Saturday afternoon. Suddenly his
automobile jerked forward into the
path of the street car.
The street car, operated by Francis
W. Howard, 4100 block of Ellicott
street, Washington, dragged the auto
mobile more than 200 feet. DR.. W. F.
Murphy declared Berry was instantly
killed.
Sergt. Roy Bodmer investigated the
accident and decided an inquest I'M
necessary. His theory was that
Berry's foot slipped from the clutch,
causing the car to start forward.
Berry, a hardware merchant, came
to Falkland from California about a
year ago. He was native of Phila-
ldelphia. Surviving him are his wife,
Mrs. Nellie Berry, and a son, Paul,
10.
George H. Lamar, prominent lawyer
of Rockville, and Washington, mar
rowly escaped serious injury when his
car was struck early Sunday morning
by another automobile which had pre-
viously collided with a third car. Mr.
Lamar was unhurt although his ma
chine was badly damaged.

Speaking Of
Things Political
By MoNTCO

VIE NEW DEAL is going strong
IN the South despite the opposi-
ton of Senators Byrd and Glass,
Democratic conservatives of the most
ultra type. The South is rapidly re-
covering from the depression. Every
travelling salesman and tourist tells
you that the South is now in better
shape than any other section of the
country. Perhaps the faith of these
southerners accounts for this. Any
State which boasts a man who per-
mits rattlesnake to bite him in or
der to test the power of Faith and
then proves it can easily produce men
and women who believe in the highly
ethical NEW DEAL

THE REPORTED rift in the Fusio

THE REPORTED rift in the Fusion
party is probably no wider than
the cracks between the boards in our
office floor. Now that the matter has
gone this far, we do not believe that
the ants will back out in any estab-
lished strength. These rumors of riffs
in any degree are merely campaign
stuff and are not to be taken serious
ly.

THE NEW VOTER, unacquaintt


= with the diversity of political
opinion here, will do we'll to study the
county. He can study the men who
run the county government. On the
other hand, he can persue at will the
personality and ability of the candi-
dates on the Fusion ticket. He will
find first, that the county ranks high
among other counties in the United
States. He w ill find the men run
ming the county government, in the
main, capable and honest. Then, too,
he will largely discover that the OPP
position has also put forth men with
ability and integrity who are capable
of conducting county affairs.
A FTER ALL, it devolves into
= question of whether you want to
be regular Democrat, with opinions
which have elected Cleveland, Wilson
and Roosevelt, or whether you desire
to see the G. o. P. assume the power
and responsibility of Office. Either
way you cannot be disastrOusly
wrong. Either way you will never
be 100 per cent right.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE in the

primary is the most enervating and
thrilling spectacle of Montgomery
County election year. This year we
are denied this tasty political treat.
That is probably why things are so
quiet at this stage of the game.

race, we are free to give you the

THE HISTORY of Davy ]. should

SOUR ORANGE TREES MAY BE
PLANTED ON CITY STREETS

Ell Centro has an opportunity,
according to Mrs. j. S. Jones,
chairman of the chamber of COM
merce tree planting committee, to
vary the types of trees in Ell Centre
by planting sour orange trees.
While the fruit of the sour orange
is not particularly luscious, it is
the hardest of any citrus tree,
probably the fastest growing, and
it is particularly beautiful as an
ornamental tree, surprising in this
respect the more valuable but less
graceful grapefruit tree.
1T has occurred to our COM
mittee," Mrs. Jones said, that if
We could vary tree planting in El
Centro by putting in a thousand or
two thousand of these sour orange
trees, it would very much enhance
the beauty of El Centro's Streets
Mrs. Jones states that her COM
mittee has had an offer submitted,
whereby these sour orange trees
