LAS THOUSANDS CHEER" COMING
TO FORD's THEATRE, BAL
TIMORE, WEEK OF
FEBRUARY 4TH

Apparently the great record made
by that celebrated revue "As Thou
sands Cheer" which comes to Ford's
Theatre, Baltimore, for one week
beginning Monday, February 4th, has
preceded it, as is evidenced by the
overwhelming demand for tickets
which has besieged the box office
ever since it was first announced
that this show was to visit here.
And that record is formidable one.
For 40 weeks it crowded the Music
Box Theatre in New York. Then it
was sent to Boston for three weeks,
but the business was so big an extra
week had to be added. 1t jumped to
Detroit for a single week, but the
advance sale of $4,000 before the
curtain went up made second week
in that city imperative. Likewise
did it do capacity in Cincinnati,
Cleveland and into Chicago where it
has just finished a three months
run.
1t comes here with its organiza-
ton of 80 persons headed by Dorothy
Stone, daughter of the famous Fred
Stone, and Ethel Waters, outstand-
.ng colored entertainer of her time,
in the star roles. Featured players
include Porter Hall, Margaret Irv-
ing, Jerome Cowan, Albert Carroll,
Dave Fitzgibbons and Hal Forde,
and among the other eminent per-
formers are Thomas Hamilton, Cliff
ford Menu, Grace and Kurt Graft,
Harold Murray and Hamtree Har-
rington.
The laughable skits, take-offs on
world celebrities, are now of inter-
national record. That depicting the
royal family of England, for in
stance, showing the King and Queen,
the Prince of Wales and Prime Min
lister Macdonald in conference over a
slight indiscretion in South America
of the Prince, was strenuously OBJ
iected to by the British representa-
lives in this country, but without
avail. Likewise, it is said, did the
Rockefeller family object to the
sketch showing John, Jr. attempting
to give his father, John D. Radio
City for a birthday present, with the
old gentleman calling il dirty
trick. So far Mahatma Gandhi has
not objected to the scene showing
him being interviewed by Aimee
Semple Macpherson, but it is on
record that Barbara Hutton compli-
mented the players on the beautiful
duet she is shown singing and dane
ing with her Prince Mdivani.
These are but very few of the
many features of GAS Thousands
Cheer" The numbers sung by Ethel
Waters are in themselves a whole
show, while the dances by Grace and
Kurt Graft, aided by the Weidman
group, are beautiful novelties. Then
there is the Easter Parade on Fifth
Avenue in 1888, said to be the most
exquisite picture ever put on stage.
All of which is set in tuneful must
cal background by the now we'll
known Irving Berlin airs, artistically
accented by the staging and lighting
effects of Hassard Short. Sam H.
Harris should be thanked for send
ing this show on its present tour.

1t is apparent from the above
statement of the county road funds
Act 425 authorizing the expenditure
of these funds for maintenance of
county roads, and debt service
(these funds having formerly been
used for construction of new roads, 1,
ha sheen responsible for the very
small balance available for new con-
struction. Every dollar expended
for maintenance of county roads and
for debt service under the present
system is a dollar taken from the
funds heretofore used for the con-
struction of new roads in the county.
There is an old saying that "You
can't eat your cake and have it too, F"
which aptly describes the situation.
If the balance available for new
construction to September 80, 1895,
were pro rated to the three Commits
sioner districts there would be only
enough to build slightly more than
one mile of macadam road in each
district.
The average citizen, have found
by diligent inquiry, will say that our
tax rate has been lowered, which is
correct and very beneficial at this
time. He will also state that the
county roads, on the whole, are in
better condition under the present
system of management than before.
l agree that this is true, but l want
to make the fact clear that the
county is receiving these benefits at
the sacrifice of it's former share of
new roads construction.
There are several importan. links
in the county highways which the
County Commissioners hoped to
recommend for building soon, but
this seems impossible with the small
fund available.
There is a possibility that we may
receive some funds for road con-
struction from The 100000, 900 P.
w. A. funds which the President is
asking Congress to appropriate. Let
US hope SO.

FARMERS COOPER ALTON
CREDIT SYSTEM

The first years record of the farm
ers' new cooperative short-term
credit system, as represented in this
section of the state by the Towson
Production Credit Association, was
discussed and approved at the annual
meeting of the associations stock
holders held in Towson, January 16,
1895.
There were present approximately
sixty persons, most of whom were
farmers and stockholders, represent
ing every county within the associ-
atoms territory, which includes Bal
timore, Hartford, Cecil and Howard
Counties, and Baltimore City
The new board of directors of the
association, elected at the meeting is
as follows: Abram G. Ensor, J. S.
Reisler, Thomas B. Todd, Jr., j. Will
son Lord, and B. John Black.
The new officials are: Abram G.
Ensor, President; ]. S. Reisler, Vice
President, and Charles W. Held, Jr.,
Secretary Treasurer.
All of the speakers at the stock
holders meeting stressed the import
ance of cooperation among the indi-
vidual borrowers or stockholders uf
the association, pointing out that the
responsibility, both financially and
morally, of collecting loans as we'll
as making loans rests entirely on the
stockholders own shoulders.
The meeting was frankly conduct
ed, all questions being answered di
rectly and simply. 1t was reported
that of the total of the associations
borrowers by far the majority of
them are maintaining their loans in
good standing and are meeting their
payments promptly when due.
The association has loaned ap-
proximately $130,000.OO and has
100 borrowers or stockholders.
Those who made the principal
| talks at the meeting are: Mr.. Jeffer
son and Mr. Wilson of the Produc-
ton Credit Corporation of Baltimore.
The Towson Production Credit As
ISOLATION was organized in January,
| 1884, and it is partly capitalized and
supervised by the Production Credit
Corporation of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration of Baltimore.
Although its organization was
sponsored by an agency created by
the Federal Government, it does not
loan government money. Its lend
| ing funds are obtained through a re-
discounting agreement with the Fed
eral intermediate Credit Bank in
turn obtains it's rediscounting funds
from the public money market
through sale of is debentures t. the
public investment market,

short-term credit system Cor farmers
that ever has been established in its
territory 1t makes available every
type of short-term loan farmer may
need for the normal operation of his
farm. 1t is conducted on a purely
business basis, requiring adequate Sc
curity on all its loans, and is open

Legislature, Act 425 was passed, and
by it's terms, the funds administered

years from II to 26 million-and now
over SO million packages are used

How did this happen? Largely, by
good words spoken from friend to

proved no less effective in winning
worldwide acceptance of the colds

These facts about the famous little

brought to mind by the presence in
