A Frostburg lady has two sons, in
grades approaching high-school size,
and both are readers of current history,
especially local history. She says "a
scramble ensues every Friday evening
when the JOURNAL comes in. Each
wants to read it first, but by-and by
both devour it. They like to read names
of people and of localities they know,
and, of course, they miss nothing
These boys set good example to older
people, who also should read all that

quality rather than quantity" as J. J.

once said Its best thought is some
times hidden in a prosaic- looking item.

Christmas Trade Suggestions

An organization styling itself " The
Consumers League of Maryland head
quarters in Baltimore, appeals to Christ
mas buyers to do their shopping early
during the season-'if possible, before
December Is" Moreover, to "shop
early during the day, and to ask that all
packages be delivered in the morning so
as to diminish working overtime.
by doing this" the League says
shoppers will avoid the unpleasant
conditions surrounding the rush of the
last two weeks before Christmas. Not
only will they be able to make better
selections, but they will have the salts
faction of knowing that they have
lightened the burden of toll of many
workers, to whom the Christmas season,
should be one of blessedness and joy to
all, but has become only nightmare of
overwork and fatigue"
These requests are made for city bene-
fit, but no doubt they are equally APP
plicable here. Frostburg merchants and
their employees will have the same
troubles which afflict those of the city
when buyers put off their shopping nn-
til the last days and hours of the season.
Merchants aud others, therefore, who
have or will have specialties for Christ

MIR. Ida Stern and daughters-Misses

Andrew Roy, of Glen Roy, Ohio, a
veteran miner and veteran soldier, is a
guest of relatives in Eckhart. Thursday
he paid the JOURNAL call and frag-
mentary reports of experiences of long
and useful life were given with zest
and humor at once entertaining and
amusing. MIR. Roy was miner in this
vicinity several years before the war
and here he picked up and amassed a
fund of underground information that
has been of immense value to him and
the many whom he has since served. In
the fierce battle of Gaines Mill, where
Stonewall jackson entered the Rich
mond campaign of 1862, Mr.. Roy was
severely wounded, and of that and later
great contests he retains vivid memories.
Indeed, the most and best of these he
has embalmed in print-in a pretty vol.
ume OF 40 pages, copy of which he
gracefully presented the JOURNAL. A
considerable traveller and fluent talker,
he is an instructive enter tainer, and, take
him altogether, there have been few self
educated men whose life and work have
been of more value to their country than
those of Andrew Roy.

NEW HAVEN. March o.--John +.
vice-president Of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road and former engineer OF the
Panama Canal, issued statement re-
garding the latter enterprise which
prophesies the failure Of the under
taking. He says the canal will not
help the United States in our trade
with South America as practically all
the inhabitants OF the southern conti-
nent are east OF the Andes and that
our commercial relations with the
islands OF the Pacific and the far east
will be little benefited. Our coal
and wheat centers are inland and once
they are loaded on the cars will it
not be cheaper to ship to the Atlantic
than ship to the east by way of the
canal, that 1t could be sent directly
to ports OF the Pacific Coast and
then on board ship. Furthermore
Stevens believes our coal supply is
fast diminishing and that China will
be the source Of our future coal
supply. Siberia is the wheat country
Of the future with India a close
second.
Stevens maintains the canal will
not meet the expenses and will cost
more than is expected. He fixes Jan
uary, 1915, as the date OF the compile
ton Of the canal. He says the idea
of the canal being Of great value in
times of war is absurd. He believe:
it would be far wiser to put thu
money the canal will cost into :
greater navy.
