own farms, under the provisions OF
the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act
Queen Anne's County is one of the
300 counties selected in the whole
country for the operation of the Ten
ant Purchase program during its first
year of administration under the Farm
Security Administration. Selection of
counties in each state is based on their
farm population and prevalence of
tenancy.
Loan will be made to worthy farm
tenants, sharecroppers and farm lab
orers for the purchase of farms and
they are eligible for additional loans
for necessary equipment, operating
goods and livestock for the carrying
on of successful farming operations.
The ALLEGATION for carrying out the
Farm Tenant Loan Program in Mary
land is $45,244 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888. It is function
ing on a small scale this first year,
which will serve largely for setting up
the machinery for further develop
ment of the program designed to cope
with the alarming increase in farm
tenancy in tie United States.
The next step will be the appoint
ment of County Committee in Queen
Anne's County by Secretary Wallace.
This committee will serve voluntar-
lily in aiding in the selection of farm
ers who are to receive loans for the
purchase of farms.
The Secretary of Agriculture will
be assisted in selection of the County
Committee by the nine-member State
Advisory Committee. The State COM
mittee for Maryland, which serves on
a volunteer basis, is headed by Har-
ry Nuttle of Denton, President of the
Farm Bureau Federation in Maryland.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS
WOULD EQUALIZE PAY
State Party Platform Pledges
To Wipe Out Differentials Be
tween White and Negro Teach
ers of Maryland.

Baltimore, Sept. 80. - T h e
State Democratin Convention
meeting here, September % to
nominate Herbert O'Conner,
former attorney general for
Maryland, for governor, pledg-
ed to end the differential in all
Negro and White teachers
salaries.
Included in its program of
policy is the following:
"We recognize the obligation
on the part of the state to
equalize the salaries of white
and colored teachrs having the
same teaching qualification and
and we pledge the accomplish
ment of this objective at the
earliest possible time
Republican Governor Harry
Mice, who is seeking reelection
came out boldly for equalized
salaries in December, 1887, one
year after the Association had
raised the issue in Maryland
courts. At that time Governor
Nice issued a statement in the
Baltimore Sun in which he de-
clared that the state law permit
ing a differential in salary pay
ments to Negro and white
teachers was totally unconsti-
tutional."
Il am supported by the opinion
of a number of distinguished
lawyers Of Marylan,," he said
"who have had occasion thought
fully to investigate and care
fully consider this legislation 49,.
1t will be my policy during the
remainder of my term tC
further this. ....."
] Thus the successful fight be
ing waged in this state by the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
to eqalize salaries of Negro and
white teachers has reached the
stage where it is regarded as a
decisive factor in winning the
Negro vo e in the Republican
and Democratic gubernatorial
campaigns now in progress.
The NAACP has won out-of-
court agreements in two Mary
land counties, and is now pre-
Iparing two cases in Prince Geo,

Involving the states practice of
distributing funds TO various

JEWRY TO OBSERVE DAY
OF ACHIEVEMENT OCT. 5th
Service Held at Temple Eman--
uel Tuesday Night and Ending
At Shutdown Wednesday In
COmmem0ratiOn of Holy Day

On, Wednesday, October 5,
Jews will observe the Day of
Atonement. This is the most
acred and important holy day in
the Jewish calendar and it is
solemnly kept as day of fast
ing and prayer by Jews through
out the, world. 1t begins at sun
set October A and ends with sun
down on the following day.
Services at the Temple Eman-
uel were held starting Tuesday
evening and were continued
thrugh Wednesday, Rabbi Isa-
dore Budnick, of New York City
officiated.
Known in Hebrew as Yom
Kippur, this Sabbath of
Sabbaths" hat for more than
two thousand years united a |
Jews once each year in a world
wide spiritual effort at self
publication and rededication to
higher motives and nobler pur
poses. The keynote of the day
is found in t h e great "Un
'saneh tokef" prayer which en-
bodies the divine assurance that
guilt can be atoned through
penitence, prayer and righteous
action.
The Rabbis regard this day as
the elimination of the ten day
penitential period which begins
with Rosh Hashonoh, the Jew
ish New Year. Tradition says
that on this day t h e fate of
every creature on earth is seal
ed by tn Supreme Judg of all
the earth.
Remnants of the ancient
temple ritual are still found in
the present day worship for
Yom Kippur. The day is known
os "Ne'ilah," "the closing o f
the gates" This undoubtedly
refers to the closing of the
temple gates although it has
now taken on the added symbolic
al meaning of the closing of the
gates of tears and supplications
and the opening of the gate of
Gods mercy. In this is reveal
ed the all embracing message of
the day; that Gods forgive
ness and blessings are bestowed
on all who NANTES a sincere
desire to lead a good life.
The day has most wholesome
spiritualizing Influence, its APP
peal does not rest upon any
historical incident. 1t is not a
commemoration, but a direct
appeal to the human heart and
conscience, an emphasis upon
the duty of personal communion
with God, the source of all
Righteousness, in an effort to
make our human life as godlike
as possible.
