GARRETT TAX,RKTE-

At time when other counties
of the State are raising their tax
rates, it is indeed a source of
qualification to find that the Gar
rett County Commissioners have
held the county tax rate at $1.00,
the same as that of last year.
They are to be congratulated,
not only for having kept the tax
rate the same, so as not to bur
den the people further, but for
having retained the health ser
vice and the extension service,
both necessary in these modern
days.

announced rate of $1.42,-17
cents greater than last year
caused by increased appropria-
tions and less receipts from the
State.
Garrett county is also receiv-
ing less aid from the State, and
has given the schools the neces-
sary At cents on the. $1O0. Still
the Commissioners have found it
possible to maintain the rate of
$1.00, which is SO cents less than
the rate was in 1927.
The Commissioners deserve
and are highly commended fol
their work.

GO ON RELIEF LISTS

Will COW give milk by pumping
with her tail? This question has
new America on edge. 1t seems a
fellow near this village had a cow
which went on relief. She wouldn't
give any milk. Knowing that relief
was popular in the village it seemed
wise to seek advice in the village
how to get along with a COW on re-
lief.
So, up to the corners went this
seeker after wisdom. To his con-
ste1nation there was a difference of
opinion what to Go. One chap in
sisted that her tail was hollow. His
way to get along with COW on re-
lief was TO cut a slit in her tail and
put salt and pepper in the slit.
Well, the fellow with his lantern,
looking for an honest man, blew it
out and went on back to the COW
barn.
Some mysterious witch had evil

back at her work eating grass and
the milk was flowing again. Nobody
will ever understand how it is a
