Fidelity Warehouse Co. To Act As
Terminal Agent.

An important contract is now pend
ing between the Western Maryland
Railroad Company and the Baltimore
Fidelity Warehouse COmpany,by which
the last named is practically to be-
come the terminal agent of the rail-
road for the storage and handling of
general merchandise. The two in
terests have been in conference on
the subject for weeks and have reach
ed satisfactory4agre green1ent so far as
the handling OF merchandise centering
on the water front is concerned. The
contracts are prepared, ready to be
signed, and as they have been passed
upon by both parties, the signing OF
them is said to be more or less per-
functory act over which no hitch is
likely to occur. The charge for stor-
age and handling, it is asserted, will
give the private warehouse company
a satisfactory profit on the business of
the railroad, while the last named
will be relieved of the necessity and
expense of providing warehouses and
piers and a sufficient force of super
intendents and clerks to look after the
business, which is expected to expand
as trade again reaches it's normal and
increases.
The contract has nothing to do with
the business of the Western Maryland
handled at Port Coyington. This tide
water facility it already owns and has
operated with a well-organized force
since the road was completed to that
point about four years ago. At the pier
coal and lumber are the chief articles
handled, coal going there in large vol
ume from the West Virginia mines
owned by the railroad when the de-
mand is active. There is also consid-
cradle freight of general character
hauled by the road to the terminal,
where it is transferred to vessels for
foreign or coastwise shipment. This
business the railroad VIII retain.
The miscellaneous traffic and all re-
quiring dry house room will be turned
over to the Fidelity Warehouse Com
pany under the new contract.

RACE THROUGH WESTMINSTER.
RunabOuts to Contest i'm Hill Climbing
Ability and Fuel Economy.

The challenge of the Ford Auto
Company to match Ford runabout
with any car selling for $1,5O0 or less
has been accepted on behalf of the
Cameron car.
In the races at Pimlico the Ford and
Cameron outclassed the other contest
ants and the public will be much inter-
ested in a contest of this nature be-
tween these two cars. The contest
will consist of a 25-mile race to be
held on a local track on the afternoon
of Saturday, August 1. On the follow
ing Tuesday the cars will meet in a
hill-climbing and fuel economy con-
test. The route will be from Balti-
more to Westminster; then south to
Cooksville, on the Frederick pike; then
back to Baltimore by way of Ell1cott
City, total distance of about 80 miles
The Cameron is to be driven by an
expert from the Cameron factory, at
Beverly, Mass, and he will certainly
be hard proposition for the Ford peo-
pie to stack up against, as the care are
very evenly matched. The driver Of the
stack up against, as the cars are very
evenly matched. The driver of the
Ford is to be Miss Willette Kershaw,
leading woman with the Summer Stock
Company now playing at Ford's. Miss
Kershaw purchased "a Ford car some
time ago, and is said to have become
a very expert driver.
Every owner and agent with car
costing $1,000 and under is invited to
enter the contest.

Chapter of Accidents.

Edward Leppo, aged Is years, son
of Joseph Leppo, of Patapsco, while
taking a mule into the stable struck
his muleship with an ear of corn for
the purpose of accelevating his move
ments. Although fond of corn, the
mule evidently did not like it served
to him in this manner and he showed
his displeasure in the usual way. His
hind feet landed upon Edwards chest
in such forceful manner as to neces-
state the attendance of a physician.
Injuries not serious.
Mrs. George erase, near Carrollton
Station, July %, while leaning over a
large box, lost her footing and fell
across the box, fracturing one of the
ribs of the right side.
Louis Lee, near Warfieldsburg, on
July 25, was pointing rails. when his
ak glanced off and struck the top of
his right foot, inf1icting cut one inch
in length.
Wesley Pickett, of Patapsco, was
overcome by the heat on Wednesday,
July 20, causing sun stroke.
DR.. M. l.. Bott, of Westminster,
rendered the proper surgical and med
ical aid in all these cases.

Honesty in Business.

Mayor James Logan, of Worcester,
Mass, calls attention to the fact that
the past few years have been times Of
runsettling in the world of business
thought Eve have been passing, =
he says, through what might be CALI
ed great ethical revival and the air
is clearer. There are thousands of
men in this country today who would
not do the things they would have
done without question five years
ago." aa
The problem is to keep this vision
clear, to keep vigorous and energetic
the sense of truth and duty, and to re-
alize, each for himself, in firm and yet
unostentatious ways, that honesty in
business relations is the salt that pre-
serves society from discord and dis
honor. 80 10 szii n

Work Brings Wealth.

The way to build up a community
is for every person in it, who can, to
put some money into Industries that
give the people employment, and
push the industries to success. In
dustries that last all the year round
are the best; but those that last part
of the year are better than none. The
most valuable power on earth is hui
man power, and when it is not employ
ed it is not only lost but it also con-
sumes part of what others earn. Work
creates wealth; work sets money in
motion; work pays debts; work is the
vital power in prosperity, and that
city, that community, and that ma
tion whose people are idle, are poor.
and poor in proportion to the number
that work and the time they work.
Heavens greatest earthly blessing to
any people is to give them honest re-
munerative work.-Havre de Grace

BEE-KEEPING.
Agricultural College Investigating
This Industry.
Editor of the Advocate.

Editor of the Advocate.
We have commenced an investfga-
tion of agriculture in Maryland and
am very deSirous of securing the
names of all bee keepers in the State
in order to learn the extent of the
industry. Bee-keeping is very profit
able when properly conducted and we
hope to be of assistance to bee-keep-
ers in giving information as to the
proper handling and care of bees as
well as protection from foul brood
and other pests of the apiary. We
hope to organize a Maryland Bee
Keepers Association this fall.
Will you kindly publish note re-
questing all bee-keepers in your coun-
ty to send their names to me through
you or direct in order that I can COM
municate with them? There are great
possibilities for this industry in Mary
land and we hope to have the coop
Grafton of all concerned towards in
creasing it's Importance.

road that would be a constant educa-

b "The American who visits Gettys-
burg today stands where the crest of
the high tide of disunion broke, and
is stirred to thoughts that do not come
to him elsewhere. And whether his
father stood by the old flag with Meade
and Hancock or charged with Pickett,
his final thought is of the deathless
words that Lincoln spoke on that
same field; his final impression the
awful futility of settling the disputes
of brethren by butchery; his final gain
a deeper Americanism and a greater
reverence for peace and Lincoln, the
great lover of the only true peace,
which is peace with honor.
"A good road in itself was joy to
Lincoln. The man who had helped
with his own hands to make passable
the rough neighborhood highways of
his Illinois home and later was mud
died and jolted and wearied and de-
layed when he rode circuit" to the
district courts, knew instinctively how
potent an agency of civilization good
roads would be.
"But, above and beyond all the prac-
tical appropriateness and utility of this
great mOQel roadway, Wnlcn would
draw from Washington all lawmakers
and all tourists, for hours of pleasure
that would prove to be an unlocked for
lesson, would be the symbolism which
would make of that memorial the most
noble of all proposed.
Foreign lands give to those sons
who serve their mother countries with
devotion ribbons of honor to wear
across their breasts.
''This nation cannot honor itself and
its bestowed son better than by
stretching the white ribbon of this
memorial highway across the heart of
the land itself, fastening one end to
the spot where Lincoln did his con-
secrated work and the other to the
field that saw the fruition of that
, work and utterance of the message

COMMENDED BY ALL
The LINCOLN HIGHWAY STRIKES A
POPULAR CHORD
Makes Friends Wherever the Project
Is Mentioned
From the Gettysburg Compiler.

FTOm the G0tCySDuTS CoIHplleT
Gettysburg is most fortunately sit
uated in the matter of the great high
ways that are being planned at the
present time Gettysburg as one of
the termini of the proposed great Lin
coin highway would be the junction
with the great Philadelphia and
Pittsburg highway which Gov. Edwin
S. Stuart in a speech last month he
fore the Pennsylvania Bar Association
advocated should be reconstructed,
and the favor with which the propo-
sition has been received has made the
Governor more determined and ear
nest in the project OF the rebuilding
of the old turn pike, which in Adams
county in the eastern part of the State
is known as the York pike and in the
western part as the Chambersburg
pike.
Good roads, first of all, are neces-
sary to the farmer" is the way Gov.
Stuart puts it. "He must have good
roads to get his products to market.
Good roads, of course, are wanted by
automobilists, but they are not so
necessary to them as to the farmer.
Pennsylvania agricultural interests
are so great that the farmer must re-
ceive consideration"
The cross state highway will oc-
cupy prominent position in the mes
sage of Gov. Stuart to the Legisla-
ture next January. 1t is said that the
treasury of the state is over running
with money, each month seeing an in
crease and that the great highway
could be rebuilt without any tax on
the treasury and should not cost over
six million dollars. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that this famous old highway
/ will be rebuilt Towns and cities
have grown up along the route and
there is no road of equal length that
would see more use than this high
way When it comes to the rebuild
ing however it seems to us that &
study of the avenues at Gettysburg
and the figures at which they have
, been constructed, should make it plai1
that good roads, better than the pres
J ent state built roads, can be built a
, $4,000 mile instead of at $4,000
and that three million ought to built
the Philadelphia and Pittsburg turn
: pike of 800 miles with as good road
: way as the Gettysburg battlefield Tel
ford road. The old turnpike has
t solid bed and the problem might large
, 1y be a superstructure at even les
l cost than that of completed nev
road at the rate the state is now pay
1 ing.
: Visions of a great future for Get
: tysburg arise at contemplation of th'
} town being the junction point of thu
l magnificent Lincoln roadway of seven
ty miles with a great state highwa!
/. of over 300 miles. The time of realiza
l ton can not come too quick for thi:

"The centenary of Lincoln's birth
is near at hand. There is much talk
of monuments and celebrations. All
such plans are commendable. Crate
full America never can do too much in
honor of the greatest American.
"But in all the suggestions, we have
seen no such example of fit and hap
py thought as lies in the proposal
which Congressman Lafean, of Penn
sylvania, will present to Congress to
construct a national boulevard eY-
tending from the White House in Wash
ington to the battlefield of Gettysburg.
LET as many arches and statues
be erected as may be possible-perfect
and permanent in beauty as was the
character of Lincoln. Excellent in
every way is the work of the associa-

which constituted Lincoln's nature

From the Rochester Democrat.

1t has been proposed to construct
great national highway from Wash
| ington to Gettysburg as a monument
to the martyred President Lincoln, land
also a road from the national capital
| to Mount Vernon in honor of the mem
ory of the Father of his Country, the
work to be done entirely by the gen.
eral government.
Lincoln is peculiarly timely, in view
of the near approach of the centen-
ary of the birth of the Great Liberia
tor. 1t is not purposed to discourage
the erection of monuments to his mem
ory elsewhere, but his name is so in
separately connected with the battle
field of Gettysburg that the anniver-
sary should be recognized in an i'm
pressive way by the nation at large.
The battle of Gettysburg marked the
high tide of the Civil War. It was at
the little Pennsylvania town that the
long contemplated invasion of the
North by the Confederates was check
ed. 1t was there also that Mr.. Lin
coin, in an address which is familiar
to every school boy made his eloquent
appeal to patriotism. The blood of
martyrs on both sides, who fell in
that most notable of modern battles,
has made Gettysburg consecrated
ground. 1t will ever be the Mecca of
patriotic Americans VINO, happily, now
know no sectional lines.
In no more appropriate way could
the memory of Lincoln be honored
than by making and preserving broad
boulevard between the capital and
Gettysburg. In. order that, when COM
pleted, it should never degenerate or
go to ruin, like SO many ambitious
highways, it would be appropriate to
place it under the care of the War De-
partment, as permanent military road,
to be forever preserved as free high
way to the field of Gettysburg and the
scene of Lincoln's patriotic and i'm
mortal utterance.
