ARBoR DAY ExERclsEs.-O Wednesday
last, Principal Landert selected the follow
ing pupils who should at about half hours
notice, name three trees, planted IN the school
yard, in the way OF formal recognition Of
Arbor Day, Misses Jessie Wissler, Nora
Freeze and Byrd Jones.
The three persons thus honored were, Mr..
Dutrow, President of the Board OF School
Commissioners, Mr.. Worthington, the Ex-
aminer and Mr.. Zimmerman, the Commits
sioner accredited to this section Of the coun.
ty.
Miss Jesisc Wissler said:
"On this the first Arbor Day In the histo-
ry of Maryland, have the pleasure of nam
ing this THE Samuel Dutrow Tree" May
this tree continue to shelter our noble school
building from the cold northern winds and
may at least one Of the boys, whom it pro-
tects, finally attain to the position Of the
person whose name it now bears, who is
President OF our Schoolboard.'
Miss Nora Freeze said ::
"On this beautiful Arbor Day, in the shade
of the old school house, which has sheltered
most of US since VIC were little children and
under the calm, blue sky, flecked with snow
white clouds, have the sincere pleasure Of
naming tree in honor of our worthy Elk
aminer. "Glcrn H. Wor,hington."
think it very beautiful thought to name
a tree after person, for tree is itself emb.
lcmatic Of strength and as it grows under the
hands of our Maker and spreads it's green
vcrdure to the summer breeze affording
shelter to myriads of birds aud insects, so
does the mind of man grow and acquire
more knowledge as time passes on. My
wish for this tree is, that it may grow and
blossom as Spring melts into Snmm'- and
may It continue to do so for many years"
Miss Byrd Jones said:
"On this Arbor Day just outside the "Old
Schcolhouse" door and with the serene
breeze of Spring blowing DER US. I have had
assignee, to me the pleasure Of naming this
Tree e r. Zimmerman" in honor of our

A letter from Col. j. c. Fuller, president
Of the Harrisburg and Washington Railroad.
says that Engineer Lehman started from
Gettysburg on Wednesday to survey route
direct to Washington. After the line has
been run, Mr.. Lehman will then run line
via Westminster. If the road should be built
by this city, says Col Fuller, the citizens
along the route would be expected to sub
scribe an amount sufficient to pay for the
increased mileage, should the distance be
increased. To come by Westminster could
not very materially increase the distance, and
100000 would be an outside figure. If,
then, the citizens Of Westminster and vicin-
lty could save $4,000 a year on coal and
lumber alone by hayiag this road, the in
vestment would DC good one--a clear
gain of $4,000 aboye interest; besides 9th

JOHN BRIGHT DIES.

The death of the great English states
man, occuredWednesday. The occurrence
had been foreshadowed for some days,
and will be received with regret by the
people of the entire world. John
Bright was one of England's highest
types of craftsmanship. He also ranked
among the greatest philosophers and
orators that country has produced. He
was born in 1911. He entered political
life in 1889, as a radical of the most pro-
nounced type, took leading part in the
repeal of the corn-laws, entered parlia-
ment in 1913, and speedily obtained
high reputation as a speaker and deba-
tor. He was appointed to a place in
Gladstone's cabinet in 1868, and always
maintained close relations with Eng
lands great Commoner. Gladstone's
movements OF recent years in favor of
Ireland somewhat estranged their re-
lations. The death of John Bright re-
moves a historical character from life,
but his personality will be potent for
MANY years to come in English politics.

THE interstate commerce commission
has decided in the case of the North
western Iowa Grain and Stock Shippers
Association against the Chicago * North
western Railroad Company that "a RAIL
road company making different rates for
the same distances on different branches
of its road, must justify them by show
ing that there is difference in the cost
of carrying on the different branches.
The company, by long maintaining rate
without the presence of competition on
other than equal terms, makes or gives
evidence that such rate is not too low.
A company which has two routes be-
tween points cannot lawfully charge
more for a shorter than longer distance
on either. : road can carry freight from
points on its rain line cheaper than any
other road can carry over branch road
with seperats equipment 20 and over its
main line, and where one Ofsuch branch
lines must carry IN competition with an
other road from its main line stations,
the rate on that branch establishes no
criterion for the branches not so situa-
ted. The company gave special rates to
corn shippers in Nebraska 10 point In
Illinois, by means of which the corn
reached the seaboard at low through
rates. When the company denied, as it
did, such special advantages to corn ship
pers in Iowa, it gave unlawful preference
to Nebraska shippers"
