 In spite of the immense strides made in the prevention and treat ment of tuberculosis, it is still the greatest single cause of death among young people from IS to 20. The ratio of known cases here, approximately population figures, is as large as in any city in the state, it is estimated.
 For those who have any reason to suspect the presence of the dis ease, Mrs Jackson feels it is we'll to thoroughly digest the slogan adopt ed by the National association for the present campaign. "Tuber- culosis Robs You, Public Health Protects You"

Business Men To
Start Campaign
For Membership
Rockville Chamber of Commerce
Leaders Believe More
Interest Needed

In an effort to boost the only bust
ness mems organization in the county
seat, the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce will devote this month to mem
bership and plans for interesting pro-
grams throughout the year. Roger
Shaw will be the committee chairman
in charge and he will place teams in
the field to thoroughly canvas the
town and outlying communities which
are not represented by any civic or
business group.
Prominent speakers will be secured
and novel programs will be offered at
each monthly meeting of the chamber
Refreshments will be served from
time to time.
1t has been pointed out that a
membership of 100 active members
should be obtainable. Although there
is a fair size membership at present,
it has been difficult to get members to
turn out to all sessions. Officials of
the chamber have emphasized the
fact that it is easier to get things
done in Rockville through organiza-
-tions which have an active and fight
ing membership. The chamber of
commerce is the only body of it's kind
between Gaithersburg and Bethesda
and it is believed that much good can
be accomplished by the organized
effort of local business men.

Commissioners To
Improve Roads In
Bradley Hills Area
Delegation Asks New Thorough
fares In Southwest Section
Of Montgomery County

A delegation of about two dozen res
idents from the Bradley Hills neigh
borhood appeared before the County
Commissioners Tuesday and were
promised that steps would be taken as
early as possible to improve roads in
the southwest section of the county,
Members of the league declared
that approximately two miles of the
Seven Locks road between Rockville
and Cabin John becomes so heavily
mired in wet weather that it is i'm
passable to vehicular traffic and that
immediate action should be taken to
relieve the condition.
The delegation also asked for i'm
provement Of two miles of Bells Mill
road, approximately one and one
quarter miles of the New Cut road
from Craemers Corner to River Road,
and the execution of a program of
general improvements along lesser
roads, which they claimed are unnego-
table in rainy spells.
1t was pointed out that during wet
spells in the past, mail service along
the roads has been temporarily dis
continued, while several instances of
doctors being unable to reach their
patients and children being unable to
attend school have been reported.
Stressing the Importance of improv-
ing the two-mile stretch of Sever
Locks road, the delegation told the
commissioners that surfacing of the
highway over that distance would

The Grounding Will
Awaken Tomorrow

Tomorrow, February 2, at high
noon or Whereabouts, the ground
hog, according to tradition is
scheduled to come from his winter
hideaway and make his appear
ance. Tradition also says that if
he sees his shadow when he energies
from his winter quarters he will
Immediately return, which is inter
preted as meaning there will be
six weeks more of winter weather.
Although the grounding has been
posing as a weather forecaster for
many years, meteorologists claim
there is not the slightest connec-
tion between the sky on February
and the state of the weather six
weeks hence. This, however, means
nothing to Mr.. Grounding. He
still makes his appearance on the
second day of February and uses
the sun as his guide to weather
conditions for the six weeks to fol-
low.

Milk Producers
Seek To Effect
New Management
Balance OF Power Lies In
Hands Of Montgomery
County Members

Montgomery County members of the
board of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association hold the
balance of power in the fight to GUST
the old management. The annual
will be held February 8.
Directors throughout the milk shed
have been meeting informally since
the recent elections to formulate a
new policy of operation and to decide
how the services of President Frank
S. Walker and Secretary Manager
John McGill, Jr., best could be dis
pensed with. The principal difference
of opinion is over the selection of a
successor to McGill, who has managed
the affairs of the association for the
past 10 years.
With the balance of power in the
directorate in the hands of the four
Montgomery County members of the
board, the drive for an immediate
change in management is being con-
centrated on these Maryland produc-
ers-L. A. Sabine, John Vinson
Peter, James King and Maxwell
White.
All four pledged themselves, when
they were reelected at Rockville a
fortnight ago, to make a change in
management, but not at once. They
said then that they believed the al
ready precarious condition of the mar
ket would be further endangered by
an immediate change, but announced
that as soon as conditions warrant
ed" new management would be in
stalled.

The general agricultural outlook
for Montgomery County is vastly i'm
proved over last year. With the mail
ing of wheat allotment checks to a
large number of farmers and with the
promise of the government to aid fur
Their through the corn-hog program,
the situation has shown marked
change over 1888.
Last week saw the Baltimore lamb
market rise to top Of 10 cents and
this price is likely to hold for some
time in view of present receipts, at
least until spring lambs begin to flood
the market. Up to last week the re-
ceipts for lambs had been lighter for
January than any other corresponding
month since 1880.
The steer market this week was
also active and moderate receipts and
the colder weather has combined to
boost hog prices to $4.65 to medium
weights. The calf market has also
been rather good and butchers in the
Baltimore market had fine clearance
last week.
The grain and feed market con-
tinues to show marked improvement.
Number 2, red garlicky wheat is sell
ing around SO cents and corn is quoted
at S2.75 to $500 on the cob.
The hay market is rather dull. Good
timothy is being sold at $12 to IA.
The poorer grades of both timothy
and mixed is hard to sell at any price.

Farm Credit Body
Has Representative
Here On Tuesdays
7. S. Anderson, Secretary-Treas-
urer, Will Meet Farmers Each
Week At Rockville

The newly-organized Frederick
Farm Production Credit Corporation.
which embraces the counties of Fred
erick, Montgomery, Carroll and Wash
ington, will have a representative
present at Rockville every Tuesday
from 10 to 8 o'clock until further
notice. The representative will be T.
S. Anderson, secretary-treasurer Of
the organization.
Thomas c. Darby, of Darnestown,
is president of the Corporation.
The district comprising the four
counties, was organized into a corpor-
ate body with a capitalization Of
$325,O0O. This district, together with
three other similar districts FROM
other sections of the State, make uD
the State organization. According To
y. w. Anderson, county agent, the
borrowing capacity of the Montgom-
eryFrederick- Carroll Washington dis
trict will approximate $1,6OO,O00.
Local borrowers have control of the
ASSOCIATION. They elect the board Of
directors which selects the associa-
tons officers. The board also appoints
two members to act with the president
as the executive or loan committee.
This committee selects loan inspec.
tor.
Subject to the approval of the Gov.
ernor of the Farm Credit Administra-
ton, the Production Credit Corpora
ton prescribes and explains the rules
and regulations under which loans
may be made by the association. The
corporation also draws up for the
association the terms and conditions
on which loans may be made. It de-
termines the interest rate and the
form of security for loans. Rules and
regulations for the investment of
sums in the guaranty fund arc pre-
scribed by the corporation, which also
must approve the declaration and pay
ment of dividends.
AS long as the corporation owns
stock in a production credit associa-
ton, the appointment or election Of
directors, the secretary-treasurer, and
the loan committee is subject to the
approval of the president of the cor
poration. During this time, he also has
power to remove any directors, officers
employees, and agents of the assoc
iation.
Most of the loans are made for less
than IL months; none for more than
8 years. Ordinarily, loans made by the
association are secured by lien ON
livestock, growing crops, and other
kinds of personal property.
In no case will the rate of interest
exceed by more than per cent the
rate charged your association by the
intermediate credit bank. The spread
Of per cent that the association may
receive is used to pay current operat-
ing expenses, to repay losses, to build
a reserve, to provide guaranty fund,
and to pay dividends.
The amount of money you can Dor
row will depend upon the security you
can offer and upon the capital and
guaranty fund Of the association. At
no time may you borrow an amount in
excess of 20 per cent of the associa-
TONS capital and guaranty fund, UNI
less your loan is specifically approved
by the Production Credit Corporation
in your district.
