Accepts Call To ThurmOnt.

Rev. J. w. Reinecke, of St. Johns,
Pa, has received unanimous call to be-
come pastor of the Reformed church at
Thurmont, this county, and he has ac-
copied the call. He will enter upon his
new labors sometime in September.
The Valley Vigilant, published at ST..
Johns, says:
1.-THE members of the congregation are
loath to his leaving. Rev. Reinecke came
here eleven years ago, and during that
time he has labored hard and conscien-
tiously for the welfare of the several
churches and flocks in the St. Johns
charge. Not only will the members of
his flock regret to see him leave, but the
people in general. He is well-liked
man and always had the interest of this
valley at heart. Through his efforts to
a very great extent Mt. Nebo Comman-
derry, R. of M, was organized and fine
hall erected, which lodge and building is
a credit to our community"

Saturday Daily Neacs of Frederick. Ed

The monlc Merchant.

Besides helping TO pay for your
own protection and security, the
home merchant does many more
things for you. The following arti-
Gle clipped from Wisconsin news
paper, tells of some of these things.
and as clarksburg has u number of
wide-awake merchants. the article Is
worth reading by local people:
You never ordered a one dollar
iiGhtnins rod from your home
merchant ana then found yonr note
Tor $1,000 in The bank the next day
as the result. You never paid him
$50 for range that warped out of
shape in six months without your
wife getting her money hack. He
never charged You $T5 for ''triler.
pnssy that You founa ont afterwara
could he bongtt anywhere for $50.
Fellows. let us give the home mer-
chant credit for what he has done
and is doing for us. He is a teacher
whose school is open TO us twelve
months in the year He keeps us
informed abont the progress of the
world by bringing It's latest and
best offerings to our door. While
we are oecnpied with our work he
searches the world over for things
,nat viii add to our comfort or prof
It and keeps them on display SO
mat We can see them whenever We
choose and become educated TO their
saiue and use. He protects US
against fPaud and deceit. He stands
for the square deal.

"Knoelslng, the College.

How prevalent the sentiment is
that colleges, take them by aud
large, are not giving our youth full
measure OF training they should
have. appears from the discourse OF
the recent convention OF the Nation

iyen, observes Harper's Weekly.
Professor Samuel Willlsson of tho
University of Chicago declared to
the educators that the American
College of the Liberal Arts had
''lamentably failed as a popular in

that 1t, trained less than one pc.
cent. OF our Young men and women.

because of illiberality. and had lost
discipline, both mental and moral,
so that the bachelor degree is clos
