Ny Dear Friend:
do not know of any body or organization
of men whose object as such is more COM
mendable than that of volunteer fire de
partment, each of whom, for the love of his
neighborS, willingly jeopardizes and very
often sacrifices his own life in protecting the
home and family OF his fellow hight
ing the flames"
AS a little tribute to you and your COM
pany | respectfully and cheerfully ask you
to accept from me the watch so fortunately
awarded to me at your recent fair, to be
used in similar way, or any other most
profitable to your department good cause.
With high esteem and best wishes | re-
main Yours very truly,
LLOYD l.. SH,FFER.

Post-Omcc Building for Frostburg
"H. r. 532," introduced by Hon.
George A. Pearre, representing this dis
trict in Congress, reads as follows:
A Bill for the Erection of Public Building
at Frostburg, Maryland.
Be il enacted By the Senate and House Of Rep
reSentdtjyeS Of tie United StatcS Of 1merica IN
Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be, and he is hereby authorized
and directed to purchase a Site for suitable
Building for the accommodation of the
POST Office at Frostburg, Maryland, and
cause such Building to be erected thereon.
The plans, specifications, and full estimates
approved according to law, and shall not
exceed, for the Site and Building, the sum
of sixty thousand dollars
The bill was introduced Monday, De-
Gember Cd last, and copy received by
Peter Lammert Secretary of the Re-
tailers Protective Association, a few
days later, and by him handed to the
JOURNAL.
The pressure was great, however, and
the bill. too carefully filed away, was
not found until last Saturday.
Hence, its failure to appear ere to-day.
In his letter to the Association Col.
PearIe atfirms that ''the concept of the
bill is his own" that he "believes
Frostburg should have a Federal post
office building, and will get it if l can
secure it.
The bill is in charge of the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds.
