Feed The Birds

The Rockville Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League of America
urges farmers and others to feed
the game birds during the snow
and wintry weather. At this time
of the year, it is pointed out, the
birds need help and feed dis
tributed in the proper places wild
aid materially in keeping quail,
pheasants and other game birds
alive.
Anyone desiring to obtain food
for birds may do so by coming to
THE SENTINEL office in Rockville.
This feed is distributed free by
the Izaak Walton League and the
county game warden. Don't let
the birds starve during this spell
of snow and ice-feed them and
help perpetuate the specie!
Farmers living quite a distance
from Rockville can help by scat
tering wheat, oats and other feed
on their properties. Remember!
To survive the winter, the birds

Farm Women Buy
Bethesda Market
And Add Space
Rapidly Increasing Retail Bust
ness Calls For More
Room

Through the Board of Directors
the Montgomery County Farm Wom-
ems Cooperative Market has pur-
chased the market at Bethesda and
1886 additional square feet on the
corner of Willow Lane and Wis
consin Avenue was purchased, max
ing a total of 10000 square feet
which gives more room and parking
space badly needed for rapidly in
creasing business.
The sale was handled through the
office of Lee Counselman and Thomas
S. O'Brien at Bethesda.
Four years ago small group of
farm women in Montgomery County
joined together during the depression
to find an outlet for their products
direct from farm to consumer.
The idea was successful from the
beginning. The number of women
occupying space and selling their
products has increased to approx
mately ninety.
At the start only Saturday was
market day, but customers demanded
more than one day week. Now
the market is open on Wednesday
and Saturday.
To an outsider it is most interest
ing to see the great number OF auto
mobiles at this market with District
of Columbia and Virginia tags in
addition to Maryland and other tags
proving that purchasers are not linn
tied to the immediate vicinity.
Army people from Fort Myer
wives of diplomats and many other
prominent people patronize this mar
ket regularly.
Not only can you purchase all
kinds of farm products, strictly fresh
from the farms, but many delicacies
such as preserves, jellies, pickles
cakes, rolls, homemade bread anc
other things that these women know
to make.
On entering this market you see
ninety women all in white uniforms
Only women are members and they
are entirely responsible for its sue
cess.
The only men you see are those
purchasing food. Behind the counter
is "no mans land"

Red Cross Goes
Over The Top In
Annual Campaign

Donald A. DeLashmutt, chairman
of the Montgomery County Roll Call
of the American Red Cross, an
nounced today that the recent Roll
Call was one of the best if not the
best ever conducted in the county.
The quota of memberships set. for
the County by National headquarters
was $500 memberships and the goal
attained in the drive was 4,147 or
CAT over the quota. The total of
funds raised by the drive amounted
to $4,797.33.
Montgomery County with a popula-
ton of some $4,000 has always stood
high in per cent of population MEM
beers in, the Red Gross. At the last
roll call IN 1884 it attained a per-
centage of TOP which was higher
than any other county in the State
and also higher than the District of
Columbia and Baltimore City. The
membership enrolled this year boosts
this percentage to 9.444o.
Chairman DeLashmutt says he
wants to thank every District Chair
man and each one of their workers
for the excellent work done by all,
because of which this most highly
successful Roll Call could not have
been achieved.

Merchants Band
To Fight Sales
Tax In State
Business Leaders To Have
Lobby Before Special Session
Of Legislature

With the approach of the State
Legislatures special session, sales tax
opponents are laying the foundation
for a relentless battle against the
adoption of levy on either mer-
chants or consumers to finance relief
in Maryland.
Business leaders in many quarters
have pledged their uncompromising
support of the campaign to be Maged
by the Maryland Anti-Sales Tax
Association, founded recently by a
Montgomery County group, while
scores of branch units of that body
are being formed in communities
which do not boast trade organiza-
lions.
Detailed preparations for the State
wide drive are to be devised on JAN
uary at Baltimore, where Walter
X. Bachrach, of Bethesda, one of the
associations founders, is to confer
with Thomas E. Abbott, president of
the Retail Merchants Association of
Baltimore.
They will be assisted by l.. D.
Odner, secretary of the Camden
Chamber of Commerce and the New
Jersey Sales Tax Repeal Association,
which some time ago conducted a
winning fight to abolish the
mercantile levy which cut retail trade
in that State % per cent in four
months.
The tax was enacted last January
to raise $5,OO0,OO0 as the States
share of the Maryland relief burden
I'D will remain in effect until April
80. Bachrach said that the Sena-
tors who wrote him are of the opin-
ion that the relief load should be
turned back to the counties and the
State Legislature should not be
called into special session, which
would automatically bring about the
death of the gross receipts levy.
Among the business leaders who
have promised to fight mercantile
taxes through their local trade bod
les, Bachrach said, are III. L. Mills of
Hagerstown, Frederick and Vest
minister; H. w. Smith, secretary of
the Cumberland Chamber of Com
merce; S. D. DORIS of Chestertown,
Frank M. Cline and B. W. Cooper
of Salisbury.
Bachrach has also received a
pledge of the support of both the
Maryland and District of Columbia
Federation of Labor, which are pre-
sided over by Joseph P. McCurdy,
and the Baltimore Federation of
Labor. They came in the form of
letters from McCurdy and Frank j.
Meeder, who is secretary of the lat
ter body.
1t was said by Bachrach that the
further imposition of any taxes on
merchants or consumers will drive
business in BORDER line" communities
into adjoining non-sales-tax areas.

Jackson Day Will
Be Observed Jan. 6
At KenwOOd Club
Rep. Mead, OF New York.
Speaker At Banquet; OrmOnd
Nichols POSTMASTER

Representative James M. Mead, Of
New York, will be the principal
speaker at the jackson Day Dinner
to be given Wednesday, January 8,
at the Kenwood Country Club, Be
thesda, by the United Young Mems
Democratic Clubs of Montgomery
County. James Cummings, presidents
of the united groupe State Senator
Stedman Prescott and Mrs. Charles
Y. Latimer, president of the Wom-
ans Democratic Clubs of Montgom-
cry County, are all enthusiastic over
the coming event.
Congressman Mead, of the 42nd
Congressional District Of New York,
is fine example of self-made man
and an inspiration TO all young
people. When only mere child, Mr..
Mead went to work as a water-boy
and over came obstacle after obstacle
until elected to Congress seventeen
years ago. He is at present Chairman
of the House Committee on the Post
Office and Post Roads.
Mead came to Congress in 1919 at
the age of 33, and is now one Of the
ranking House Democrats in senior
ity. He has been in Democratic poll
tics as holder of an elective office
since 1913 when he was elected a
member of the Erie County Board Of
Supervisors. He served on the Board
for one term and then was elected to
serve in the New York State Legis-
lature. He served at Albany until his
elevation to Congress where he has
been returned each year, without q
defeat, and with steadily increasing
majorities even in Republican Dist
trict.
Mead was candidate for the
speakership last year and is nof re-
garded throughout New York State
as the logical upstate contender for
the Gubernatorial nomination.
Mead has been consistent advo-
cate and supporter of labor and pro-
gressive Legislation. Reared humbly,
he began work at the age of IL as a
water carrier on the railroads. Later
he worked with the Pullman Comp
any in Buffalo as an electrician and
joined the Electrical Workers Union.
In 1911, he came to Washington and
worked as a capitol Policeman"
guarding the entrance to the House
Office building. Leaving that job to
return to the railroads, he remarked
"I'll be back here later on as Con-
gresham" He had become interested
in politics. He returned as a Member
of Congress just eight years later.
He returned at that time to Buffalo !
and worked as railroad switchman.
Today he has life membership in the
Switchmen's Union-one of the two
life memberships they have ever
given.
Mead was handicapped in that he
had very little schooling. However,
he possessed keen Irish brain, quick
understanding, and a remarkable
sense of humor. Throughout his car
eer he has almost constantly attend
ed one school or college or another
taking courses at Georgetown, Uni
versity Of Buffalo, etc. He has an
honorary degree Of law from the Uni
versity Of Niagara.
In a legislative capacity, he most

and the oil used is comparatively
unworthy of mention.
State Policeman Miller told Hum
phrey the other day that he had
better obtain automobile license tags
for his vehicular monstrosity. He
complied and Immediately wrote to
the Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles
to ascertain the cost.
The horsepower was less than one.
Hence, young Mr.. Cissel paid 80 cents
plus 10 cents postage. Pretty soft,
we call it. So thinks Humphrey and
his friends.

THERE is NOTHING hindering US,
however, from making some New
Year wishes. We wish the United
States Government would pay more
attention to preparedness, the best
safeguard on this continent against
war. It does not work out that way
in Europe, but this happens to be
America. We wish the old political
parties would disappear and clear
cleavage be shown between conser-
vative and liberal opinion in the
United States. We wish that institu-
ton known as Law would do away
with centuries-old customs and adopt
modern and common-sense methods.
We hope the emigration of the Lind
berghs will have sufficient effect on
public minds to call for the elimina-
ton of certain practices which sick
en- the hearts Of every true Ameri-
can-we hope that the adminstra-
ton of Justice in this land can be
sped up. We wish that in our own
close contacts with problems of
humanity better understanding may
develop. And over and above all may
there be no great suffering in 1896,
no calamities to gain the headlines of
the newspapers, no floods, no earth
quakes, no hurricanes, no famine, no
pestilence.

George Herbert Moran was the

weighed 26O pounds and had the
proverbial strength of a bull.
Bull didn't need to use a
blackjack or nightStick. He was
a good boxer and with his weight
there were few thugs who dared
stand up to him.
In 1901 he joined the fire de-
partment, and was cited for his
work in the great Baltimore fire
in 1904 and again for carrying
two men to safety in the Stag
Hotel fire.
But there was not enough excite

Ken MURRAY
Says:

After glancing at the papers,
it's easy to see that the preSi-
Dental campaign must be going
ahead full steam, from the num-
ber of pictures we see of both
candidates making speeches on
the rear end of trains. Looks
like a scheme to furnish pic
tOrial proof that presidential
candidates at least stand on
their platforms before election.
In Olden days, trains used to
stop at almost every crossing to
get the cows off the track. Now
adayS they do it to unload the
bull.
Pictures of politicians making
speeches from the rear ends of
trains are really becoming more
important than those taken of
the candidate pitching hay in a
blue serge suit.
However, this should be q les
son to those who believe in class
distinction NOwadaaS, the fel-
low who lives across the railroad
tracks at least meets the PreSi-
dent every four years.
