Local Farmers
Borrow $4,000
For Crops, Stock
Ulysses Griffith, 4th And
Thomas C. Darby Attend
Session At Winchester

Farmers of Montgomery county
borrowed $4,000 from the Frederick
Production Credit Association during
the past seven months to grow crops,
by livestock and equipment, accord
ing to Ulysses Griffith Nv and Thorn
as c. Darby of Montgomery County,
directors of the association, who have
just returned from the ANNUAL two
day group conference of directors of
six associations held at the George
Washington Hotel, Winchester, Va.
The Frederick Production Credit
Association, one of the "a such agen-
cies in the second Farm Credit Ad-
ministration district, serves Mont
gomery, Frederick, Carroll, and Wash
ington counties. Operating as CO.
operative in which farmers who bor-
row money through it elect their own
officers and directors, the association
has made loans in the past two and
half wars of 100000. Of S
amount 100000 was OUTSTANDING on
July 1.
"To US this meeting of the direct
ors of six surrounding production
credit associations was very educa-
tional," Mr.. Griffith said. at is very
gratifying to have had part in the
operating of an organization which
is doing such fine piece of work for
the farmers. Reports from our as
ISOLATION and the others represented
prove beyond a doubt that we will
have a permanent source of credit
conducted by farmers. Loans have
generally shown steady, sound in
crease and all associations are fnan-
cially solid"

Commissioners Move To Defer
Purchase OF Voting Machines
Officials Feel That Precinct Consultations Should Be
Made Before Spending Money-Road Overdraft
Is Placed At $227.S29.14

Widespread approval is being given
the action of the County Commission
ers in voting to defer the purchase of
voting machines for the Bethesda and
Wheaton districts. In addition to
sparing the expenditure of large
sum of money, the move gives addi-
tional time for the demonstration of
the type of machine which is said to
be far superior to the one previously
shown the Board of Election Super
visors.
Commissioner Paul M. Coughlan
said it was the opinion of the three
fusion members of the board him
self, Frank H. Karn and Charles E.
King-that voting machines should
not be purchased until after 1888
or until the Legislature enac laws
authorizing consolidation of certain
precincts and elimination of un-
necessary election officials. He add
ed that Democratic Commissioner
Richard H. Lansdale had indica led he
held similar view.
This reverses the stand taken sew
eral weeks ago when the board was
prepared to purchase 35 machines
from one concern, but withhold the
purchase when its counsel, Albert M.
Bouic, ruled that bids must be adj
vertised.
The board received a repo. m
William A. Codd, chief auditor Ct the
State roads commission, definitely
placing the county overdraft at $227,-
829.14. This is approximately Sat-
900 higher than the commissioe re
ported several weeks ago, Couehlar
stated.

$3.50, 1000 School
Building Program
Nearing Finish
Six Major Projects Under Com
struction; New Junior
High

Now that labor difficulties and p.
W. A. mix-ups are apparently over,
work on the $s5O,OOO Montgomery
County school construction program
is being rapidly pushed. The pro-
gram got under way two years ago.
There are six major projects. All
promise to be completed by the first
OF October, or shortly after the be-
ginning of the school session, ac-
cording to DR.. Edwin w. Broome.
county superintendent of schools.
Foremost among the projects is q
new junior high school at Montgom-
cry Hills, near Forest Glen, where
the first unit costing approximately
100000 is being erected on a 20
acre tract. This will be the first Of
the new cottage-type high schools
to be built in the county. The pres
ent project will comprise a man
building and gymnasium and audi
torium, and makes for future expan-
sion.
A 100000 addition to the Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase high school is well
under way and when completed will
house additional classrooms and a
combination gymnasium and assembly
hall. Work has just been started on
gymnasium-assembly hall unit at
the Montgomery Blair High School in
Silver Spring which will cost about
100000, and new auditorium Is
nearly completed at the East Silver
Spring elementary school. Other
units now under construction include
additional classrooms at the Rockville
and Damascus schools.
In addition to the $850,0OO pro-
gram the school board is authorized
to purchase a site and erect new
junior high school at Kensington, to
be financed by 100000 bond issue
authorized by the last session of the
State Legislature.

Maryland Motorists
Pay 100000 In
Gas Tax Annually
Sixteen-Year Average Shows
Steady Rise In Cost OF
Owning, Driving Car

The extent to which motor vehicle
owners in the United States are
Soaked" by the taxing powers is re-
vealed in figures made public by the
Keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land, on the basis of data compiled by
the Automobile Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
In 1885, motorist taxes scared to
the unprecedented height of 81, 1885,
157,907, an increase of $85, 900, 900
over the total in 1884. From the year
1919 to 1895, inclusive, taxes on motor
vehicles have established successive
annual new "highs," with the single
exception of 1921, when the motorist
tax bill dropped slightly only to surge
upward the following year and to keep
on to the all-time record now estab-
lished.
To this staggering total Pennsyl-
vania contributed $32,155, 367 in motor
vehicle registration receipts and $40,-
706,631 in gasoline taxes.
Maryland's share was $4,099,850 in
fees and $s,27s,O25 in gas taxes; New
Jerseys, $16,629,2O9 in fees and
$1S,179,4 400 in gas taxes; Delaware's,
$1,011,520 in fees and S1,476,432 in
gas taxes, and the District of Column
bias was $9O4,901 in fees and
so, 2O9 in taxes.
In gas tax alone the total contribu-
tions in the period 1919-1935 were
as follows:
Pennsylvania, s316,529,478.
Maryland, s68, 49,, $3.50.
New Jersey, s119,186,s65.
Delaware, s1O,526,307.

Health Department
Makes Report For
The Month OF June
DIR. EllicOtt Says Fiscal Year
Has Been Successfully
Administered

The following report in part has
been rendered for the month of June
by DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county health
officer:
The month of June represents the
closing of the fiscal year and l am
pleased to report a balance of $217.64
remaining in the health budget. AS
stated on other occasions the past
year has been a successful one in the
administration of the Health Depart
ment. We regret that the volume of
our child health work is so far be-
low accepted standards but we hope
during the coming year, with tn {
help of the additional nurse to make
a better showing.
Fortunately no cases of spotted
fever were reported during June. The
case in the latter part Of May, now
recovered, is the only case reported
in the county this year. Judging
from past experience, however, a few
cases of this disease are quite likely
to occur in the month of July and
we, therefore, repeatedly warn peo-
pie to search the body carefully for
ticks at least once a day. In July,
which is the latter part of the tick
season, these parasites attach them
selves soon after getting on the body
and must be removed more frequent
ly than earlier in the year.
Word has been received that an ap-
preparation of approximately $4,000
will probably be available from the
State Health Department for the
Montgomery County Dental Clinic.
This, when added to the 5000 allowed
in the County Commissioners Health
Department Budget for next year and
added to voluntary contributions will
probably provide sufficiently to oper-
ate the clinic three days per week
during the next school year. The
dental clinic program will be discussed
at the quarterly meeting of the Pub
lie Health Lay Council on July 9Th.
The assistance of lay committees
and other voluntary workers has en-
abled the Health Department to con-
duct very successful child health
conferences this year. Montgomery
County is fortunate in having such
splendid voluntary assistance. To ia
cilitate the holding of these confer
ences, the Health Department is be-
ginning on July l, to keep list of
infant and preschool children for each
community of the county. The list
being made up from names taken
from birth certificates. The list will
also be used to check the complete
ness of 6iphtheria NEGOTIATIONS of pre-

County Welfare Board, Health De-

places.

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTCo

THE NEW DEAL HAS, more Of
Ton than not, provided sustenance
through at least one member of a
family for parched Threats and shriv-
eled lips caused by the short-sighted
and ultra-conservative vision of poll
ticians of the pre-Roosevelt era. 1t
is easy to Judge conditions today in
vour home town. For the foreign
communities it is necessary to rely
mostly upon a hostile press. But one
can pretty well say, without fear of
successful contradiction, that wher-
ever the Supreme Court has not
stopped labor, on big undertakings,
there you will find a happier and
more contented people than you would
have found in 1882. In every COM
munity you will find "antis". This
is a strange, but logical specimen of
humanity thriving under our system
of law and government. In other
countries this strange, animalcula
rises in revolt ever so often and
consequently gets banished to unin-
habited territory. Over here, in the
good old United States, we simply
vote them under or, once in while
get voted under. But to US it is just
a game. Washington failed to take
them seriously, although members of
the Continental Congress raved of his
ineficiency. Jefferson laughed at
them and showed up another Hamil-
ton for what he eventually turned
out to be. Jackson scoffed at the fl
nancial tycoons and manhandled them
like he did the British at New Or
leans. Lincoln joked with them I'M
til they became ashamed. Cleveland
out-maneuvered them at every turn
and Wilson, far ahead of his day,
saw the light which even now burns
too dimly to save America if another
war threatens in the near future.

DO THE FARMERS of this section
ever stop to think of the advantages
brought about by Roosevelt and the
Democratic Administration? We can
see no reason for them to vote for
Landon when the New Deal acted so
kindly toward them. How about the
price of wheat when Hoover was in
office? How about the lack of cash
Do the farmers still want to return
to those days when wheat sold for
40 cents and corn for $1.50 per bar
rel. Three long years of prosperity
and hope for the farmer and laborer
Three long years of ordinary profits
for the corporations and the mag
mates. Why do the DuPonts and the
bankers oppose Roosevelt if it is not
because they hate to have their yachts
and country estates subjected to ex-
ira taxation? Why does John Ham
ilton cry 'wolf, WOLF" when he has
always been prominently identified
with lobbyists backing corporate en-
terprises? Why does Landon harr
on economy when the State of Kan
sas relied on Federal funds to keer
its relief program going and III
State budget balanced?

AS MUCH AS WE deplore certain
phases of the New Deal, what have
the Republicans, or rather the Ian
donites, to offer? They turn thumbs
down nthe right of labor to organ
lie against capital. They pretend to
score capital in the Middle Western
States. They sing the good old song
OF THE Constitution Forever" and at
the same time assert that necessary
changes should be made in the frame
work of Statutes of King John
meanwhile, the common people, whom
Hearst loves to eulogize in one breath
While condemning in another, are
happier and better off than they have
been for several years.

so breeds out of the 101 recognized

Afghan Old Dog
At the local show, which will be
larger than ever before, there will
be a great many breeds that have
been recognized and which will
perhaps amaze you. There will
be, perhaps, an Afghan hound
whose name is derived from the
Asiatic country, Afghanistan. Some
attempt to give this animal the
distinguished ancestry Of the grey.
hound. but I do not believe this to
be true. The Afghan has been
pure bred for centuries and I be-
lieve it to have been carefully bred
by the Arabs for hundreds of
years. ...
Then there will be the Hun
garian sheepdog recognized, I be-
lieve, by the A. K. c. in 1888. He
is officially known as the Kuvasz
and is definitely a herding dog.
His name denotes an armed guard
for men of noble birth and he is
today much used for hunting in
the mountain regions.
Dog Shows Thrill
For one contemplating the pur-
chase of dog, suggest that this
is your chance to compare breeds
which are too numerous to men
ton at this time. The animal you
have seen in pictures may not be
the ideal one for your particular
home. On the other hand, you
may find exactly what you want
in some breed you may not have
had the opportunity to see before
Not only are dog shows thrilling,
fascinating and interesting, but
they afford a meeting place for
friendly gatherings Of sportsmen
and sportswomen from all sections
of the country.
