strength.
Many examples can be cited Of
the inevitable result of stopping ad
vertising. Two will do. Forty years
ago there was a remedy on the mar
ket which was Americas biggest
seller. 1t was widely, intelligently,
consistently advertised. Its name
was a household word. Then the
founder Of the business died. His
heirs decided to cut out advertising
because ''our product is SO well
known people will have to buy it"
The product passed out Of the pic
ture entirely.
Another was a fine, honest, we'll
made, well-advertised toilet soap,
with all the good will any product
could possibly need. The manage
ment of the business changed. The
advertising stopped. Soon the prod
uct was no longer on the market
The reason why advertising must
be continuous process is that we
human beings need constant remind
ing. We're not tickle. But we are
so filed with our own ideas and
plans and businesses that if a man
who wants our trade doesn't ask for
it regularly and often, we drift else
where to the man who does.
The advertiser is faced by the
problem of asking his customers to
buy from him, but he also has to
consider the most economical way
Of extending his invitation.
He finds the answer to both parts
Of this problem in the newspaper.
No other form Of advertising has
ever been discovered which will
carry his message so effectively for
so little cost.

The boys of the Sherwood F. F. A.
chapter have begun the Conservation
Of Wild Life program. Some of the
boys have made feeders to feed the
game, such as quail and pheasants.
They have also scattered some feed at
various places so that birds will have
something to eat as long as the snow
covers the ground. They are doing
various things to protect the wild
life game, such as killing crows,
skunks, weasels and various other
pests; and they will plant a mixture
of grains to produce seed to feed
birds.
The chapter is planning to go to
the Worlds Fair in New York, next
summer. The boys are going to plant
3 acres of potatoes as a project to
raise money to go to the fair. They
are also putting on an entertainment
the last part of February.

gold medal, LIST place in potatoes; Ed
gar Miles, gold medal, 1st place in
poultry; Warren Seibel, bronze medal,
Srd place in poultry; Clifton Link, Jr.,
gold medal, LIST place in diversified.
BY winning five places in this con-
test Sherwood was the leading school
in the state this year. This is the
second year in succession that they
have led the other chapters in the
state in this contest. The medals were
presented to the boys at the annual
Farm Bureau meeting, Lord Balti-
more Hotel, January IL, 1889.

ALONG THE
~ A BY JOHN
NO STIDMAN

The twelfth of February marks the
birthday of the great Emancipation.
Abraham Lincoln was born in the year
1909 and his brilliant career and
tragic death is an epic in the history
of the United States. Many books
have been written about him and
Americans never seem to tire of fol-
lowing the stirring drama of his life.
Visitors to Washington who wish to
see the famous Lincoln Memorial,
should first go to see the Lincoln Mu-
scum, which is housed in old Ford's
Theatre, where the martyred Presi-
dent was shot down. Here has been
gathered by loving hands, curious, in
innate mementoes of his private and
public life.
Afterward, the full wonder of the
great Memorial temple, erected to his
memory will burst upon the beholder.
The strength and simplicity of that
mighty figure will impress its signifi-
canoe upon every true American. High
above color, creed and party loom the
lofty ideals Of Abraham Lincoln, en-
bracing the blood and soul of
America.

Walker Tax Study to prove the urg-
ency of immediate reassessment.
Fair Trade Act
We urge the immediate repeal of
the so-called "Fair Trade Act, which
has the reverse effect to that implied
in the title. This Act has the effect
of monopolistic prices, which the
farmer and other consumers are re-
quired to pay and at the same time,
affords no protection to the income of
these groups.
y Police
The position of this Organization
regarding the expansion of the Police
System is to oppose any increase in
the Budget as a general county activ-
ity. The present system is adequate
in the rural areas and should the
suburban sections need or desire in
creased services, the cost of same
should be borne by the Metropolitan
Area taxpayers.
Bond Referendum
We oppose the repeal of the pres
ent law requiring referendum be-
fore the issuance of any bonds against
the credit Of Montgomery County.
The voting public should decide on
the issuance of further bonds with a
full realization that it means immedi-
ate increase in the tax rate. The
present approximate one-half million
dollars interest charges we believe
to be the saturation point under any
balanced budget in the near future.
This Organization is DESTROYS of
establishing a "Pay as we go Policy,
which can be done in accordance with
recommendations of the Paul Walker
Tax Report, namely:
A fair reassessment and the pres
ent tax rate.
Purchasing Agent
We oppose the establishment of
purchasing agent for Montgomery
County.
Income Tax
We approve, in principal, the in
come tax method proposed in the Gov
errors Tax program. If it is expednet
at the present time that said income
tax be used for other purposes, then
as soon as possible, said tax should
be diverted from such other purposes
to the purpose first intended, that of
reducing the tax on real estate.
:. Bill Boards
In the interest of safer driving and
to check the bill board nuisance, we
favor legislation regulating bill
boards, providing same is so drafted
to protect the property owners right
to advertise and operate his own
business.
Farm Trucking
We recommend an amendment to
the Motor Vehicle Law, whereby
loads may be hauled over the high
ways which exceed the regulation
width, providing, such loads is the
farmers own farm produce, being
hauled from farm to farm and not in
any way pertaining to commercial
transportation.
County Aid And Welfare Work
We recommend all relief agencies
that receive county funds in whole or
in part, be consolidated and to that
end we recommend the abolition of
of County Aid and
that office be transferred to the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board.

THE FAR HILLS

THE FAR HILLS
The far hills seem the greener,
While beauty lies at hand.
Beyond the peaks,
One ever seeks
The phantom promised land.
The urge for new possessions
Calls for ceaseless grind,
But does it bring
That priceless thing,
A quiet peace of mind?
A bold one rises higher
To bask in wild acclaim,
Yet one may be
AS great as he,
With unknown, honest name.
The far hills seem the greener
Across enchanted miles,
But full life lies
In sweet home ties,
And loved ones cheering smiles.
