Wheat Quotas
For Farmers To
Be Discussed

In letter to Montgomery Coun-
ty wheat growers this week Coun-
ty Agent o. w. Anderson an
nounced series of meetings at
which an explanation of the wheat
situation will be given. Mr.. An
derson stated in the letter that
"the Secretary of Agriculture has
announced that referendum vote
will be held on wheat marketing
quotas on May 81"
The County Committee feels that
if everyone thoroughly understands
what is involved they will take the
trouble to vote, because the failure
of quotas to pass could easily cut
the price to one-half or less of the
present market value"
Meetings are scheduled as fol-
lows: Poolesville High School,
Thursday, May %, 8 p. M; barnes
town School, Friday, May %, 8
p. M; Woodfield Grange Hall,

Young Mems Club
Scores Politics
In Civic Groups
Condemns Action OF H. s.
YOhe At Civic Federation
Meeting; May Apply For
Membership

Following a lengthy discussion
of the duties of civic organizations,
the United Young Mems Democra-
tic Clubs of Montgomery County
Monday evening, May 10, scored
H. S. Yohe, Chevy Chase, past
president of the Civic Federation,
on what was termed "a bitter, per-
sonal and purely political attack on
Maj. E. Brooke Lee, member of the
Maryland House of Delegates, and
not in line with the policies of
civic organizations" It was point
ed out by members that Mr.. Yohe,
introduced resolution at
the last Civic Federation meeting
calling for the resignation of Maj.
Lee as member of the Maryland
House of Delegates on the basis
that he was illegally appointed.
Since Major Lee has served an
unexpired term, was appointed by
Governor O'Conor, and the Mary
land Legislature will not meet
again until after the 1912 general
election, Yohe's action was gener-
ally interpreted as purely per-
sonal and political"
Unanimously passed by the
group the motion follows: "Be it
Resolved, that the United Young
Mems Democratic Clubs Of Mont
gomery, condemn the action of Mr..
H. s. Yohe, member of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
and an employee Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture; in injecting
politics in its lowest form, into a
recent meeting Of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation, by max
ing an unwarranted attack on
Major E. Brooke Lee, member
of the Maryland House of Dele
gates from Montgomery County"
A motion that the United Young
Mems Democratic Clubs make APP
plication for membership in the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton was referred to the member
clubs for further consideration.
The group felt that since certain
members of the civic body had APP
parently turned to partisan politics
it would want representation.
Individual effort and support was
pledged for the successful election
of Mrs. Katherine E. Byron at the
special congressional election May
II. Arthur C. Elgin presided.

The fact that at the age of Fl
young Lee was willing to leave
Princeton, which I understand is
about as happy a place to spend
four years as there is in America,
and 90 to work in the Senate Office
of his father during the day and
attend law school at night, is, /
think, a strong Recommendation.
In 1912, when Major Lee was
just 20 years old, he enlisted in
"F" Company of the LIST Maryland
Infantry at Hyattsville and served
at Hyattsville as a private and a
corporal and was transferred to
"K" Company of the same regi-
ment when that unit was organ
lied at Silver Spring in 1914 as a
sergeant. Lee served as a sergeant
and 1st sergeant of tx" Company
for the first year of its organiza-
ton and then in the old days Of the
National Guard was elected first
lieutenant by the members of the
Company. He was in charge of
the Company during six months of
Border service at Eagle Pass on
the Rio Grande in 1915 and, after
his return to Montgomery County,
was commissioned Captain.
Certainly there was little reason
for a man with a father in the
United States Senate to sweat
around as a private, corporal and
sergeant and company officer in the
National Guard if he was not will
ing to do his full duty in active
service.
When the LIST Maryland was
called for World War service early
in 1917, Lee, who was then Captain
of ak" Company, was assigned as
Captain Of the same Company in
the combined 115th Infantry which
was formed by combining the LIST
Infantry from the counties Of

The Editor
The Sentinel
"a E. Montgomery Ave.
Rockville, Maryland
Dear Sir:
The continued attacks of Mr.. H.
S. Yohe, former president of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton, on Major E. Brooke Lee sur
prise me greatly. have lived
all my life in Montgomery County
and was honored by election as
County Commissioner and Judge of
the Orphans Court for three con-
secutive terms by the voters of the
county while / was resident of
Bethesda.
l know that Brooke Lee has done
more to develop the great advant-
ages that belong to Montgomery
County, because of our location on
the best side Of Washington, than
any other one man. During the
twenty-five years that l have been
in politics, do not know of any
thing that Mr.. Yohe has done to
help Montgomery County, but after
all, what I am writing you about,
is to ask what, if any Justification
Mr.. Yohe has for his bitter per-
sonal attacks on Brooke Lee.
Brooke Lee, who is the son of the
only man from Montgomery Coun-
ty ever to be elected to the United
States Senate, former Senator
Blair Lee, after completing part of
a term at Princeton went to work
in his fathers Office while the lat
ter was serving as Senator from
Maryland. but Senator Lee did not
put Brooke on the government pay
roll. During that period Brooke
Lee was graduated with an Ii. B.
degree from the George Washing
ton University Law School after
attending evening classes.
