Give Family Relief
From Hot Weather
Skin |rritations

When temperatures rise, do they suf-
fer from cruel, tormenting itch and
sting Of heat rash, prickly heat, or
from the burning soreness of chafe?
Then sprinkle on Mexsana and feel
almost instant cooling relief. This
soothing, medicated powder, even
helps prevent these miseries, and
also guards tender skin from further
irritation of clothing. Mexsana also
checks itch of healing sunburn and
mosquito bites. And when baby cries
and frets at night from torturing
diaper rash, Mexsana soothes the
itch and burn so baby can sleep. A
family favorite. Send some over

Thanksgiving Day, 1915

Today, November %, 1916, the first peacetme
Thanksgiving Day in four years is being observed
by Maryland and most of the States. Only Ten
nessee and Arkansas will celebrate the traditional
last Thursday in November
The day will be observed quietly, with most of
the churches planning services to join in community
union services to express gratitude for the ending
of the war. Many servicemen have arranged to have
a furlough home for the day. Those who are COM
PEELED to remain in camp will have turkey dinner
with all the trimmings. All Federal and county
workers, and the schools have holday-the children
until Monday. Thanksgiving Day like Christmas is
family day. In the pre-war fashion, in some cases
the men of the family will go hunting in the morn
ing, coming back to join the family group at dinner.
In proclaiming the day President Truman request
ed the people to "gve thanks with the humility of
free men, each knowing that it was the might Of no
one arm but of all together by which saved"
He paid tribute to our very gallant dead, includ-
ing Franklin Delano Roosevelt, saying "our Thanks
giving has the humility of our deep mourning FOR
them" He reminded that triumph over the enemy
has not dispeled every difficulty-many vital and
far-reaching decisions await we strive for
just and enduring peace"
In conclusion the proclamation read MAY we on
that day (22) in our homes and in places of worship
individually and in groups, express our humble
thanks to Almighty God for the abundance of our
blessings, and may on that occasion rededcate
ourselves to those high principles Of citizenship tor
which many splendid Americans have so recently
given ALL"

Supervisor Days Report On
Education In Montgomery

Willard F. Day, county supervi-
sor, issued his second report on the
activities of County Offices and
their financial status, last week.
The October report covered the
Board of Education, it's budget,
curriculum and other services.
The school budget is submitted
annually to the County Commits
sioners by the Board of Education,
indicating the funds needed for the
operation, improvements and re-
pair of school and buildings. The
budget indicates the amount of
money needed from the County, as
well as the money estimated to
come from the State and other
sources. The County Commission
ers are required to levy the tax
rate that will produce the amount
required from local taxation, pro-
vided the total requested for per-
manent improvements, repairs, and
operation Of the schools shall not
exceed 40 cents on each $4,000 of
assessable property, unless the
Board of Commissioners approves
such additional levy. An annual
audit is published by the Board Of
Education showing its financial
transactions, as we'll as an annual
report covering the condition, cur
rent accomplishments and needs
for the improvements Of the
schools.
For the current year, $1,927,471
is available for general operation
expenses, while $42O,4s4.5O will be

Vigorous Bond
Sales Drive
Lutes Sets Goal OF
$135,0OO A Day For Re-
manning Is DAYS

Sales of all types of securities in
Montgomery County to individuals,
as reported by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Baltimore has now reach
ed SOIL, 898.25 against the County's
overall quota of $2,500,000. Sales
of securities during the past few
days have averaged approximately
$4,000 per day and, with the cam
paign closing on December 8, this
leaves only fifteen days in which
to make up the deficit. The rate
of purchases will need to be in
creased to $4,000 per day during
the remainder of the campaign to
reach the County's quota.
Fred L. Lutes, Chairman for
Montgomery County, said:
"The Public Schools, under the
direction of DR.. Edwin w. Broome,
are conducting a vigorous selling
campaign and the results of their
efforts are becoming increasingly
evident each day. The people of
Montgomery County has responded
generously in the seven previous
Drives and it is unthinkable TO me
that they will fail in the Victory
Drive. The funds raised in this
Drive are definitely required to
bridge the gap between the TIA
War Loan and the time when nor
NAL taxation will take care Of ne
cessary war expenditures and the
return of service personnel to their
homes" Z
