struck the Rockville with the full force of Western

that they are the fight to stay Let back them up

Montgomery Will
Offer Pasture To
DrOuth Cattle
1000 Animals Due To Be Cared
For BY Farmers; To Be
Slaughtered Later

Efforts will be made by Montgom-
cry County farmers to obtain approx
imately 1000 head of the cattle which
the Federal Government purchased
recently in the Midwest drought area
and which will be placed on pasture
in other sections of the country until
they can be slaughtered and con-
verified into canned food products for
distribution among the unemployed
next Winter.
County farmers have decided to
submit to the Government bids Of
$50 month for pasturing cattle
which arrive in 36-foot carload lots
or $50 month for pasturing 40-foot
carloads, while an optional PROPOSE
ton of $1.50 head per month has
also been settled upon if the carload
prices are found by the Government
to be unsatisfactory
The decision was reached last week
at a meeting held by County Agent
W W. AhdSloOli, WIN Hos dPpOAlbCN q
special committee to assist him in
handling negotiations. The committee
is composed of J. w. Jones, Thomas
C. Darby, L. A. Darby, R. w. Farmer
and Ulysses Griffith.
Anderson explained that the cattle
purchased by the Government is be-
ing shipped to a central assembling
point in st. Louis, whence many win
be. sent to packing houses to be
slaughtered Immediately. Others
which the packing houses are I'M
able to handle at this time will be
put out on pasture temporarily.
Anderson declared that the county
is able to handle between $50 and
1000 head at the present time. In
the event of rainfall Anderson said,
this quota would be greatly increased.

Farm Mortgage Act
Sustained By Court
Hearing Last Week
Russell L. Snyder Will Be Per-
mitted To Retain Farm
Under Moratorium

An order restraining the Montgom-
cry County National Bank of Rock
vile, holder of mortgage on the
farm of Russell L. Snyder near Gath
ersburg, from enforcing collection of
its debt, has been handed down by
Judge William C. Coleman in the
United States District Court at Balti-
more.
The decision handed down by Judge
Coleman is believed to be the first in
the country given under the Frazier
Lemke farm mortgage moratorium
act passed at the recent session of
Congress as a Federal farmers aid
measure.
Snyder's 24-acre farm is held in the
name of his wife and the debt on the
place is said to amount to about
$4,000. The banks mortgage and
judgement totals $4,000. It was rep
resented by McNeill that foreclosure
would do "irreparable injury" to the
debtor and his creditors.
Under the law, farmers who are in
danger of foreclosure are entitled to
go into bankruptcy court and petition
for "fair and reasonable" appraisal
of their property. A trustee shall be
appointed for the land, the law states,
and the trustees may sell the farm
er's property back to him on terms
extended over six years.

exist, these properties will be forced
to connect as soon as nuisance oc-
ours and will not be allowed to repair

ance Immediately by installing OF re-
pairing septic tanks or underground
drains or installing sanitary privies.
This campaign for sanitary i'm

And who appreciates the exquisite

humming bird comes a long, long way
to drink at the deep goblet offered to
him.
Humming birds are partial to red,

the dainty hummer to your garden,
plant Oswego tea, columbines, painted
cups, coral honeysuckle and trumpet
vines.
If you do not have one, there are
thousands to enjoy. The thrill of sight

Of cardinal red. Is it any wonder she
should be better known?
In July and until September you
may find her from New Brunswick to
the Gulf States and westward to the
Northwest and Kansas. She loves wet
ground, and seeks such places as
bitches, moist meadows and stream
edges to glorify by her presence.
Do not disturb the flower in her
natural setting. You can send for
some seeds and the flower grows easily
for you. All she asks is water

racing after him, while the Hound
brought up the rear, baying steadily
as he followed the trail. They were
running by sight while he was run
ming by his nose. In few minutes
he was left far behind. They were
fast, those Dogs, but they. were no
match for the speed Of Lightfoot
while be. was fresh, and it was not
long before he was out of sight. Then
they were helpless until their COM
panion came up. They ran this way
and that aimlessly, but the Hound
with the fresh scent always in his
nose ran steadily and the others fell
in behind him. The chase was on.
Away from the place where Light

lying fiat and motionless as their
mother had warned them to when
she had left them he ran. The first
thing to do was to get those killers
away where there would be no chance
that they would find those precious
babies or their mother. There would
be time enough to think Of himself
later. Once he had those killers
safely away, Mrs. Lightfoot would go
back where she could watch over the
babies. They were safe for the time
being.
Lightfoot had had a good look at
those Dogs and his heart sank. If
ever they caught him 1t would be
the end of him. He knew that. Even
had he possessed his great sharp
pointed antlers he would nave stood
small chance in a fight with three

could be but one result. Terror took
possession of him. There was no
mercy in those killers behind him.
