William b. Noel is accused of think
ing that the Forum is more to be
dreaded than the smallpox, yellow
fever, cholera morbus and fits-all
combined. When these diseases as

long as he is alive, but, like the

A Frostburg firm issued $500 copies
OF handful recently, or more than
double the number sent out by another
firm. The former firm made the mis-
take, however, of not stating that they
issued more bills than any other firm

About this time last year the JOUR

same thing.

they be suppressed that the vision of

a Big Difference.

The Forum has double the circulation in

placing your "ad.' don't overlook this fact
Forum.
While placing your 'ad.'" don't
forget also that the JOURNAL has in
Frostburg more than "double'; the
number of unsolicited subscribers than
the list of any other paper contains.
In fact, there is not a solicited name
in its subscription books.
Hence, it has not begged its way
into public favor and then misused
the result of such mendicancy as a
base for either brag or as a claim to
any sort of excellence.

The Boring Experiment.

The location selected for the exper-

east OF St. Johns Rock and scant
half mile south OF the National Pike.
According to Prof. w. B. Clark, of
Johns Hopkins University, it is de-
sirable to reach ''the Mauch Chunk

20 feet above reservoir level.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local
applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is one
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an lnt1amed condition of the mucous
Inning of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets intiamed, you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

The Declaration.

1t was then, just as she was in the
act Of hurrying away. that Dolly Madi-
son was seized with an inspiration that
will ever cause her name to live in the
heart of every true American. She
stopped to think. What If the white
house should be burned? Did 1t con-
tain anything of value to the govern
ment that she had neglected? The
declaration OF independence In a
flash she called to mind this most pre-
cious Of all documents. Carefully

vainly endeavoring to intercept her.

Chance to study a. Washington.

Secretary Wilson is asking the nu-
tbority OF Congress to utilize the IA
cilitles of his department for post
graduate courses for students from
agricultural colleges. The universities
of the United States have made no
provision for the practical work Of
specializing such graduates. There
are sixteen scientific divisions In the
Agricultural Department, provided
with the finest apparatus money can
buy. the best illustrating material OBJ
tninable and the finest agricultural H.
brary. Secretary Wilson proposes to
ask Congress for permission to invite
graduates Of agricultural colleges who
have made scientific study pnrr Of

free. And yet there is not one OF those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in a minute for that
same flag II any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against II.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom 1t
floats Is that with all reverence for 1t
they are dreadfully irreverent with it.
The flag is something to be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way,
but when II is worn out It is cast aside
and new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served

a man to kiss his wife on Sunday.
Manufactured old farmers come In
and view the cases where the flags are
located. .and presently, II one cares to
watch, there will be distinct evidences
of moisture and the dew on the grass
of June morning was never more de-
lightful than the dew of patriotism that
really springs from the heart OF the
American citizen. whether he be old
and hard-featured or in the flush of
youth.
When we wake up on Fourth OF
July morning, those of us who have
passed beyond the delightful time OF
a. m. and firecrackers. we are often
disposed to make sundry and pointed
remarks about the noise that We hear
But when we gather ourselves together
and get to the window and look out;
when we see on the nearest Flagstaff
the stars and stripes, brilliant and
beautiful as the debutante in the first
flush of social success. we forget about
the noise. We only remember that We
are citizens of the greatest republic the
world ever knew. and We know that
any disturbance we may hear is in
honor of that flag which is floating
above u.s. We are proud OF 1t.
And then. as the day grows apace
and all that 1t means is borne in upon
us, the words OF genius come back to
us and we say to ourselves that nature
herself shows us that the United States
will never be sundered. France has
the lily. England has the rose, Scotland
has the thistle. Ireland has the sham
rock. All these have their day and
pass from earth, but the stars shine on
forever.
