Early Closing During July anu August
The merchants of Thurmont have de-
cided to close their stores during the
months of July and August at o'clock
each evening of the week, except Satuf-
day. While the merchant is taking care
Of his trade, he must also take care OF
himself, and in closing early it gives HIM
a chance for rest during the warm sum-
mer evenings. We know it to be fact
that many persons who come to town and
those living in town, sit around and talk
until they notice the proprietor shutting
off the light and then rush in to do their
buying. This is not giving the merchant
a square deal on a hot evening. Doyour
buying early then talk to your friends as
long as YOU desire. The following is the
agreement and names Of those who have
signed it:
AGREEMENT.

1t is with much regret that 1t becomes
necessary to call attention to depreda-
tons committed in the u. B. cemetery.
Every now and then some one comes to
us and reports that a certain beautiful
bouquet, wreath or emblem has been
stolen from the grave Of a loved one.
Last week Mrs. Josiah f. Willhide re-
ported that wreath was taken from
the grave of one Of her children and that
it was the second to be taken. We are
sorry such things occur and would advise
a closer vigilance on the part of the
trustees of the church property. If the
CLARION can aid in stopping such law
lessness it is ready to do so. Some one
likely will make the acquaintance OF
Warden Weyler in the Maryland Peni-
Tertiary or occupy apartments in the

Stomach troubles are very common il
the summer time and you should not only
be very careful about what you eat just

careful not to allow your stomach to be-

goes wrong take Kodol. This is the best
known preparation that is offered to the
people today for dyspepsia or indigestion
or any stomach trouble. Kodol digests all
foods. 1t is pleasant to take. 1t is sold

"0THERS OVERDRAW" WILL
BE DEFENSE OF CRAWFORD
Attorney for Son of Boston Lawyer
Outlines Case of Client Accused
of Passing an Alleged
Worthless Check

Jay w. Crawford, son of a we'll
known Boston attorney, was up before
Justice Frederickson yesterday charged
with having offered worthless check
in payment for an automobile. The
case will be resumed Friday.
The check was drawn on the Farm
ers and Merchants National bank and
was for the sum of $3.50. Among the
witnesses examined were Frank A.
Hiel, head bookkeeper of the bank,
who testified that Crawford had no
deposit at the Farmers and Merchants
bank, and w. A. Copeland, salesman
for the, automobile company. who tes-
titled that the check was made out to
w. A. Gump, and that Mr.. Gump aft
erwards added the words Auto Co."
In speaking of the case Paul Schenck,
attorney for the defense, says he OBJ
tanned the admission from John b. AL
ton, assistant cashier of the bank, that
there are five men In the bank who
have the power to permit anyone whom
they may select to overdraw their ac-
counts.
This, says Mr.. Schenck, is contrary to
the federal banking laws. and on this
point, together with the fact that the
check had been altered before 1t was
presented for payment, he bases his de-
fense of Crawford.
