all cannot be had then take the best
of them in order to accomplish that
which is to the greatest interest of
the most people.
DR.. Norris thought that this method
would do little more than lengthen
the streets of Westminster, and that
with the portion of the appropriation
falling to Westminster it would not
be possible to build more than a very
few miles in the directions suggested.
MI J. D. Haines favored the reso-
luton if it were possible to get what
is asked, but thought too much was
being asked at this time.
Mr.. F. l. Lewis said that the law
is a State law to build State roads,
not county roads; that it would be all
right for the committee to say make
Westminster the hub, if this could be
done, but since it cannot there is no
use to ask it.
Mr.. E. H. Sharretts said that the
road that he would favor would be
that from Bruceville to Taneytown.
but that he knew this is out of the
question, and that he therefore favored
whatever was for the best interest of
the county and State.
Mr.. Lester S. Patterson said that
the trouble is that we want to put in
all the spokes at once, and advocated
asking for the most important spokes
now, acting upon the broad principle
number, considering the roads to
which the Commission would most
| likely give attention, and offered as
! o he tint
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation two routes, both through West
minister, one route to begin at the
end of the Liberty turnpike, at North
Branch, to run through Eldersburg,
Gambler and Smallwood to the end
of the Washington turnpike, three
miles from Westminster to begin
again at the end of the Meadow
Branch turnpike,t two miles from West
minister, thence to Taneytown; the
Manchester and Westminster and New
Windsor.
Nh Walsh said that in considering
the question one should give attention
to the map, and argued in support of
the original motion that the plan pro-
posed was not inconsistent with the
aim of the law and the Commission
to establish a system of State roads.
Mr.. Sharrets spoke in advocacy of
the Westminster-Taneyto West
minster-M Manchester routes, and one
of the others proposed, whichever
might be considered best.
Mr.. Golibart spoke against the
adoption of the original motion.
The question being called for, the
u-ac adnntod
| Mr. Hesson made a motion that the
chairman appoint a committee of
five, including himself, to present to
the State Roads Commission the
recommendation of the committee, as
adopted.

Birthday Celebration.

Christian S. Hunt, near Manches-
ter, was sitting quietly at home last
Sunday, thinking what a beautiful day
it was and how thankful we should
all be that we are permitted to enjoy
the glorious scenes that nature un-
folds to us at this season of the year,
when his reverie was interrupted by
the arrival of a neighbor, and then
another, and another, until there were
AZ persons present. They had assem-
bled to celebrate Mr.. Hunts 77th
birthday, which they did in a manner
suitable to the day. 1t being Sunday,
they could not indulge in games, but
the time was spent in interesting
conversation upon topics of the day
and of events that long since passed
into history. At noon a special din
ner was served, after which there
was more conversation and music
and walks about the farm until late
in the afternoon, when all were in
vited to supper.
Mr.. Hunt settled in Manchester dis
trict 54 years ago and has lived there
ever since. He and his descendants
are all ardent Democrats and have
the respect and confidence OF the
community. Mr.. Hunt started in life
poor man, his first employment pay
ing him the remunerative figure of 70
cents a day. Through industry and
economical habits he has placed HIM
self in a position when he can enjoy
the evening of life with abundant leis-

Miss Steiner has come and gone and

Miss Margaret Macdonald, of Wood
stock. A. T. c. NJ, wrote the following
appreciation of Miss Steiner
AN APPRECIATION.
A woman of many parts;
A woman with. noble mind,
One whose heart is filled with love,
A queen among her kind.
Strong of body and strong of soul,
Gentle and good and true
Rare attributes of man and woman,
Blend eternally in you.
Sunshine and not shadow,
'Tis your portion to impart,
The tender sweetness of your smile
Cheers many a weary heart.
Then onward, ever onward! , .
Thou brave, achieving soul,
Divinest forces aid thee
In the winning of thy goal.
The love that you have given,
Is the love that you shall keep,
And songs of praise shall still ring

A Dear PARTY.

This novel party was given by Miss
Pearl Cover, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry F. Cover, of this city, on Tues
day evening, June 8, in honor of her
guests, Mrs. VIM. E. Ijams, and Joseph
Murphy, both of Townsend, Tenn.
The young ladies were invited to be
present at 7.30 p. M, while the young
men were not to arrive until p. m.
Upon their arrival they noticed this
sign beside the front door, "a DEAR
HUNT" Each gentleman was to
draw a number and begin the hunt
among the shrubbery on the lawn, but
on account of the inclement weather
the dear's took to the house and the
hunt was made there, and was not
finished until every young man found
the dear" with a number correspond
ing to his. The dears were found be-
hind desks, chiffoniers, stands, beds,
in cupboards, closets, pantries, cozy
corners and every conceivable nook
of the house, but even then the hunters
were able to capture the game in
such short time that it proved them
to be men of experience. What's the
use of going to the mountains when
you can find them at home?
After playing games for awhile and
enjoying some instrumental and vo-
cal music, refreshments were served,
something that is always in good
taste, and proved so in this case.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry F. Cover, Mrs. VIM. e.
Ijams, Mrs. Carroll Albaugh, Mrs,
Herbert Cover; Misses Pearl Cover,

Carroll COuntian Injured.

Thomas J. Hull, of 1907 3rd street,
Harrisburg, Pa, formerly of Silver
Run, Md, met with very painful
accident on Wednesday last. While
riding on his bicycle he was struck by
an automobile travelling at a high
rate of speed, both wheels passing
over his body. After being rolled some
distance on the asphalt street, he was
picked up in a semi-conscious condi-
ton and rushed to the Harrisburg
Hospital, where it was found that he
had a laceration of the scalp, a slight
fracture of the right knee and severe
bruises of the body. He was later
sent to his home, where he is under
the treatment of the family physician.
Those who witnessed the accident say
his escape from death was miraculous.

Birds Build Nest Three Times.

The sparrows who decided to build
their nest under the canopy of an arc
lamp on Court street are playing in
hard luck. The first nest, built three
weeks ago, was in some way dislodg-
ed. The birds set to work Immediate
Iy to construct another. This was
scarcely finished before it, too, was
destroyed Now they are hard at
work upon the third nest, which is
nearly completed. These repeated
disasters would surely have over
whelmed a builder of the human
species, but the little birds were dis
couraged they gave no evidence of it.,
putting just as much energy into the
building of the third nest as they did
in the first They are evidently de-
termined to fight it out on that line
if it takes all summer.

Miners and Operators Confer.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 26.-Special
Miners and operators of the cen
tral competitive district, including
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. will meet tomorrow for
their adjourned Joint conference Con
sideration will be resumed of the
question of calling a joint wage con
vention to re-establish the interstate
wage agreement Upon this agree
ment is based the wage scales OF the
other districts of the United Mine
Workers of America.
The special convention that will
probably be called as the result of
the conference tomorrow may meet
at Chicago 1t will be a national con
yention and not confined to the five
districts in the central competitive
field. Such a convention to ratlfy the
wage agreement will cost the min
ers organization $4,000.
Because of the fact that neither
the governor of Indiana nor the may
or of indianapolis welcomed the dele
gates to the last national convention,
1t is unlikely that the general con
yention will ever again be held here.
