High Producing Herd

Elmer L. Maust's herd of II cows
had the highest record for May in
the Dairy Herd Improvement Associ-
alton No. 1 at Grantsville, with an
average of 976 pounds of milk and
55.4 lbs of butterfat. Other four high
herds were those Of Lawrence Bethel,
C. O: Miller, Raymond Tice and Allen
Maust.
Lawrence Bethel was the owner of
the two highest producing cows.

milk with butterfat content of 75.5,
while "Tiny" was not far behind. She
had milk content of 1897 pounds
and butterfat content of 1874. One
cow, Boots" of C. o. Miller, gave 3
OIL pounds of milk but was eighth on
the list with butterfat content of
68.3.
The other high producing cows
among the high twenty were those of
Crist Yoder, Elmer Maust, Raymond
Tice, Allen Maust, Jonas Tice, Eli
Yoder, Dorsey Guard, Sherman
Beachy, Galen and Ada P. Maust and

Some of the advantages of the pro-
gram were enumerated as teaching to
feed according to production, shows
value of various crops produced on
home farms, provides sound basis for
culling herds, reveals better COW
families and enables each one to
know the actual value of ones cows,
when comparing milk production, but
terfat production and the returns
over and above the cost of the feed.

Town Adopts Use
of Courtesy Cards
for Traffic Violators

The town has adopted the use of
courtesy cards instead of traffic
court orders for violators of traffic
rules, Mayor Joseph w. limbaugh
proclaimed recently. The measure, a
suggestion of the Mt. Top Chamber
of Commerce and furthered by Mayor
Hinebaugh, will be given a 60-day
trial.
The usual procedure for traffic
violators has been a summons to APP
pear in court to answer for the mis-
demeanor with a fine. This practice
has been undesirable, members OF
the Chamber found, and therefore
suggested more courteous means of
dealing with violators, especially out
of-towners.
The new system is composed of u
card, informing the driver of his
misdemeanor that "the chief of pol
ice has deposited .. cents in your
meter. To return his money, deposit
this card and the amount at any of
the Business houses listed on the re-
verse side, or at the city hall" The
points of deposit are the following:
Hinebaugh's Restaurant, Oakland
Pharmacy, Bills Barn, Rudy's De-
partment store, Gonder's Cut Rate,
Englander's Pharmacy, Sturgis S
Pharmacy, Germans Taxi Service,
Wclch Taxi Service, Carries Restau-
rant, Manhattan Hotel, and William
James Hotel.
This is the extent Of prosecution,
except in the event of failure to de-
post the money and card. In this
case, a summons to appear in court
will be sent, followed by a warrant
for arrest with added costs if the
summons is not answered.
This system will apply to not onl.,
out-of -towners, but Oaklanders as
well, Mayor limbaugh stated.

PROPOSED SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM BEING AIRED THIS WEEK
Meetings Being Held Nightly - Cost of Program
Explained by Dr. Sedel - Reaction
Considered Favorable

Citizens of Garrett county are
learning in full this week about
the proposed modern education-
al program, and how the pro-
gram will be financed. The pro-
gram was announced last week
at a public meeting in Oakland.
Detailed discussions are being
held in various communities
which will eliminate in a public
meeting in the Oakland High
school auditorium on Friday
evening, sponsored by the Gar
rett County Council of Parents
and Teachers.
Meetings already have been
held this week at Grantsville,
Accident and Friendsville, and
there is one scheduled this even
ing at Kitzmiller.
DR.. John Siedel, assistant
state superintendent of schools,
is relating in detail what the
state can do to finance the pro-
gram as its share. Accompany
ing DR.. Siedel are r. Bowen
Hardesty, superintendent IF
schools, who is discussing the
educational program in detail;
members of the General AS
sembly from this county and the
County Commissioners.
School officials have reported fav-
orable reaction this week to the actual
program, with the main concern be-
ing an answer to the question, "How
Are We Going to Pay the Cost?" In
breakdown of figures, DR.. Siedel is
pointing out that the increased tax
amount on the individual tax bills
amounts to $3.50 per year OF 9 cents
week for a person assessed for ST.
600 A person assessed at $4,000, 50
per year or Is cents a week; $4,000
assessment, $3.50 per year, 26 cents
week; $4,000 assessment, $3.50
per year, or about 43 cents per week.
Dr.. Siedel in pointing out the as
sessed valuation in the county at $22,-
440, 567, said one cent on the tax rate
would raise 1924, and that the
school program would mean an in
crease of As cents per hundred dollar
assessment to raise an annual amount
of 100000 by the county, which is
needed to reach the figure. An adj
ditional amount annually of 100000
will come from the state as the re-
suit of laws now in effect.
"The $1,5OO,OOO bond issue authori-
cation which is now law, will amount
to 3/7 of the $3,5OO,OOO needed to
put the new program into effect so
that the actual increase above actual
commitment will be $2.57 for $1,000
assessment, $5.43 for a $4,000 assess
mcnt, and $771 for a $4,000 assess
ment," DR.. Siedel stated.
In the present school budget for
1913, the county is appropriating
$179, 03424, as compared to 1927 ,965
provided by the state, and the ratio
on the new program would amount
to So from the state for every 81
provided by the county, he declared.
