Grange Convention
Plans Assure All
A Great Event
National Session At Harrisburg
OF Big Farm Group Set /.
For November 10 18

When the National Grange meets
a. Harrisburg, Pa, November 1913
for its list annual session, it will
occupy at different times during the
convention two of the most beautiful
buildings in the eastern section Of the
country: One of these is the State
Education Building, erected at a cost
of $5,O0O,OOO and containing the
Forum, whose decorations, stage
effects, lighting equipment and acous-
tic perfection are equalled by very
few buildings in the world. The
other is the Zembo Mosque, erected
in 1880 at a cost of 100000 as a
Shriners' meeting place, but a COM
pletely-equipped building for con-
ventions, theatrical events, athletic
contests, etc. Both buildings have
ample seating capacity, and it is in
the Zembo Mosque that the climax
degree of Grange ritualism, the
Seventh, will be conferred on Friday,
November IL.
On that day the supreme degree
will be given four times-once in the
forenoon, twice in the afternoon and
once in the evening; on an expected
class of 10000 candidates. Besides
the initiates ample provisions will be
made for all Grange members to wit
ness the degree who have received it
at previous sessions. At Pittsburg'
in 1929. the Seventh Degree class
numbered 1898, but thousands OF
Pennsylvania Patrons have become
affiliated with the Order since then;
while great delegations OF initiates
will come from adjoining states.
The Chamber Of Commerce and
other civic organizations in Harris
burg are making elaborate plans for
entertaining the big Grange conven-
ton. and all the facilities OF the
Capital City will be placed at the
DISMISSAL Of the Grange visitors: Side
tTips to Gettysburg, Valley Forge,
Hershey and other points Of interest

Police Arrive And
Strike Gang Leaves

For while Tuesday it appear
ed that Montgomery County might
be involved in a strike riot but the
prompt arrival of police dispersed
the gathering crowd and order was
restored like magic.
1t all happened when about so
members of a plaster's union
from Washington endeavored to
persuade four men to leave their
job in Chevy Chase. People
swarmed around to see the fun
but no spinach. Available men,
bers of the County law enforce
ment brigade drove up and the
situation was well in hand.

program would bring in $3,510,000 an
nually, which would be boosted by
$1,500,000 additional, or to $5,010,0O0
by the State income tax which will
begin flowing into the treasury next
year on this years incomes.
An analysis Of the June payments
show that the taxes on admissions,
cosmetics, whisky, documents and
recordation and reregistration Of
automobile drivers are slightly under
the monthly quotas. The Legislature,
for example estimated the whisky tax
would bring in $4,000 annually, OF
at the rate Of $35,416 monthly, while
the June tax receipts were $34,S64.50
Taxes paid on beer and for automo-
bile titles are over the monthly
quotas.
There is possibility that the pin
BAH and music box payments may fall
below the $S5O,000 annually expected
from these tources.
1t was pointed out that the pro
gram has MOI been in effect long
enough to bike definite predictions
as to the yie as some Of the items
are higher 4 different months.

AS WE SEE IT
By MONTCO
WHAT IS THE MATTER with the

WHAT rs THE MATTER with the
State Roads Commission and the road
question in general? It is time some
drastic step was taken to insure the
taxpayers their moneys worth. Ofic-
ials in both county and State are
eternally passing the buck. To the
credit of the County Commissioners
Of Montgomery County it must be
said that they tried to get the lateral
roads back under their jurisdiction
but were thwarted by some legal tech
nicality and were ruled out of order
by Attorney General Herbert r
O'Conor. The people living on bad
roads are sick and tired of technicali-
ties. No one can live on promises.

BUT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE
and II we care enough as. citizens OF
'nis county, as Americans exercising
our constitutional rights, we can
make ourselves heard. We can raise
our voices. We can demand that some
snmg be done. We can communicate
ny letters and petitions to the COVER
nor Of the state, to the state roads
commission, to the county commits
sloners. And if every resident along
tnese unimproved lateral roads and
'tners who must use these roads vii!
get out his pen or pencil and make
himself heard by those responsible
'nen something will be done.
LET'S STOP COMPLAINING and
really do something. We've raised
Uur voice. Now you raise yours for a
lucent and progressive Montgomery

LAST WEEK A YOUNG WASH
INGTON couple who had purchased a
house on one of the lateral roads near
Rockville relinquished it's equity and
moved out. (The road in question is
but bare mile from the County
Courthouse.) They had lost hope OF
getting the county to do something
about their road. They were sick and
tired of mud. They had endured three
winters of trying to get through-and
sometimes not getting through-to
the main highway. In the Spring
surely the road would be improved.
They were always promised that.
There are many other such families
who would also like to move out. But
most of them have too much equity
to sacrifice. Some Of them, still cling
ing to the hope that eventually some
thing will be done for the roads,
would like to improve their properties
but they cannot get Federal housing
loans because of the roads. In some
sections electric and telephone COM
panies will not bring in their lines be-
cause they cannot be reasonably sure
OF a sustaining volume of business
under the present road conditions
And few days ago resident told us
he was ashamed to invite friends to
his country place on account of the
road. Think of that!
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1937-08-05

WHY ISN'T SOMETHING DONE?
No, the true cause is not the political
situation in Montgomery county nor
In the state capital. Other counties
and states have similar differences of
political alignment and yet the roads
are taken care of. Our northern
neighbor Pennsylvania has maintain
ed continually progressive road pro-
gram despite more abrupt changes in
political complexion. Nor is the cause
due to the misuse of county allot-
ments, as we are sometimes told, nor
to the lack of funds. These are ex-
cuses. They are not the real reasons.

What TO DO FOR
ECZEMA ITCHING
and BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
Resinol Soap and warm water to
eoften scales and crusts. Resinol
Soap is suggested because it con-
tains no excess of free alkali, and
is especially suited to tender skin.
Dry by patting with a soft cloth
do not rub.
Doctors recommend an oily oint-
ment because it penetrates the out
er layers of the skin more effec-
lively. Resinol Ointment meets this
requirement, and does even more.
For over 40 years it has been-and
still is-successfully used to relieve
quickly the itching and burning of
eczema. It contains soothing in
gradients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today and
enjoy comfort tomorrow. Get jar,
also a cake of Resinol Soap, at any
drug store. For free sample, write

the barn and stay there until there
was no chance that Hooty would be
