At meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Washington.

way Company held recently, Mr..
j. Wesley Creager, of Thurmont,
was elected director to succeed
Colonel Il. 4. Brien. Of Urbana,
who resigned, and Mr.. Charles
Wertheimer was elected second
Vice-President of the company.
The affairs of the company are
in relatively good condition.
and there is abundant hope of
eventually carrying out the plans
that have been adopted. At the
present time, however, the ques

problem confronting the pro-

raising of certain SUMS, 900
according to the Secretary,
Mr.. G. G. Waters, whether or not
the road is built to Thurmont this
year.
If the people subscribe gener.
ously, there is no question of the
success of the enterprise. 1t is
proposed to build the road first
to Thurmont and then on to
Emmitsburg, bonding sufficiently
to assure the completion of the
work. without hardship upon the
stockholders.
The Executive Committee was
given full power to enter into
contracts preliminary to the
building of the road.

a Word to Our Farmers
Get a Move on You.

Whilst we almost despair Of
ever inducing the farmers of this
county to give their personal at
tention to the Improvement of the
public roads in their Immediate
actions they can at least deter.
mine TO unite in improving their
premises and their home surround.
ings. We confess we take a pride
in seeing neat and attractive homes
scattered thrOug hout our beautiful
county and cannot understand
why such an intelligent set of
people will harhOr such prejudice
against doing anything in the
way of improving the roads in
front of their own homes. The
general talk about them being
taxpayers and that they pay the
taxes and that the county should
do the road making is to say the
least but poor and tiimsy argu.
mentS. A half dOzSn farmers IN
Il ueighbOurhoOd when they have
nothing else to do could easily inn
prove their roads with but little
cost and have the pride and salts
faction of having model roads in
their own section. If, however,
they will not change their views,
let them at least resolve to have
general cleaning up about their
homes, tri m the trees, fix up the
old broken down fences and gates,
fill up the mud holes in the APP

doing all over this beautiful

At Last it Looks as if we are
to Have Some Beneficial
Oyster l. LEGISLATION.

The many years. fight for a
measure providing for oyster cul-
tivation with a view to turning
the most barren rocks in the
Chesapeake Bay into the profit
able growth of bivalves has end
ed in a compromise which as
Sumes a satisfactory plan.
The committee reported bill
the groundwork of which is the
Hannah measure, minus the def
milton of natural beds and bars
and plus a number of the pro.
visions of the Seth Survey bill,
including the invitation to the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Surveys of the natural beds and
bars.
In short, the bill is one includ
ing the main provisions of the
Seth Survey, while the leasing is
to be done along the lines laid
down in the Hannah measure.
The definition of natural beds
and bars in Haman bill so OBJ
iectionable to the tidewater
counties has been stricken out.
and it will be left to the Court
to decide what constitutes a nat.
ural bed or bar. 1t is a victory
for the tidewater interests.

On the water question the res

Democrats make common cause
with the people in their fight for
cheap water and the candidates
are all pledged to resist every
attempt to modify the present
contract between the city and
the water company whereby the
water rates will be raised.
The plank relating to munic
ipal ownership of water works is
as follows: "In the event that our
people shall, by their votes, give
power to the municipality to own
and conduct the water supply of
our city, and in the event that
all our efforts, as promised, shall
prove inadequate to secure the
interests of the public, and we
shall at length and as a last
resort, he driven to the necessity
of public ownership, we hereby
record our determination not to
allow our city to be made the
victim of extortionate exactions,
aud demand of our legislators
now in the General Assembly of
Maryland to pass no law relative
to public ownership of the present
water system, unless such law
shall contain a provision where
by our city government shall be
invested with the right of emf
nent domain, authorizing the
condemnation of the present sys-
TEN and the acquisition thereof
at its true worth and value as
found by a jury"

Great Victory for the indie
pendent Shipper.

The Red Rock Fuel Company's
suit against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, in the
Federal Court of West Virginia,
to enforce an order by the Inter
State Commerce Commission was
brought to sudden termina
ton on Friday last, the 2nd
lust, by an amicable settlement
between the parties concerned.
A continuance of the case was
asked for indefinitely.
The terms of agreement were
not made public, but it is under
stood that the Fuel Company,
practically gains all it contended
for. including switch connections
and fair distribution of cars.
The outcome of the case is con-
sidered great victory, not only
for the Red Rock Fuel Company,
but for all independent com
panies in the State, many of
whom claim that they have been

ROUND SHOULDERED BOYS

Because Teachers and Par
ents do Not Admonish Them
to Stand and Sit Erect, He
Says,
1.-THE average boy in Kansas
City between the ages of IL and
10 years is stopped and round
shouldered," said a man at the
head of the children's department
of one of the leading clothing
stores on Main street. ''This [
will admit is broad assertion,
but 1t is true nevertheless.
have become well aware of the
fact from my daily associations
with boys.
"BOth the school teacher and
the parent are at fault. Few
teachers compel their scholars to
sit erect. The scholars hump over
their desks day in and day out
and few teachers even attempt to
make them sit up, except on rare
occaSions-perhaps only when
visitor is present." continued the
informant. Il know little of girls,
but from observation | have been
led TO believe that the average
girl Is careful i'll the way she car
rleS herself. Girls from II to 10
years old are more matured than
boys of the same age. Girls have
more pride aud care more Tor their
personal appearance. Little fell
lows. boys under II years of age,
are seldom stopped. TIE fault Is
with boys just reacing the long
trOuSer age.
WHY COAT COLLARS DON'T FIT.
Few boys, under ID years, buy
their clothes without being accom-
panied by their parents. The
mother will walk into the store
with her son. Sauntering few feet
behind. "A suit of clothes for my
boy she will say. The coat is
always tried on first. In nine
cases out Of ten the collar of the
coat will hang down an inch or
+ two in the back, due to the stOop-
ed condition of the boy. With a
straight person the collar will fit
snugly to the neck.
"'Mister that coat doesn't tit.
Fetch another one. 1t hangs like
it had a weight fastened to the
tail. the mother will say.
1T is useless to try to convince
most women that the trouble is
with the boy and not with the
coat. Often the mother will slap
the boy between the shoulders and
say. stand up, son; stand up!
Throw your shoulders back How
often have | told you to do thatP
THE ORDER SELDOM GIVEN.
elf the truth were told it is on
ly when the clothes are being
bought that the order is given.
Yes, it is true that few boys just
entering manhood are perfectly
erect. If a boy is not round
shouldered he is stopped; if not
stopped one of his shoulders is
lower than the other. Ii the left
shoulder is abucrmally low it is a
sign that the person is right hand
ed, and vice versa.
"The average man is stopped.
Such should not I've the case and
would not if parents and teachers
would spend IA little of their time
in admonishing boys. 1t is my
honest opinion that many man
would have lived longer if be had
been made to stand up scraight
