BURNING The TRASH
BEST DISPOSITION THAT CAN BE
MADE OF REFUSE.
Means a Saving Of Money and Is tho
Quickest Way Of Getting Rid OF
it--Ashes TO Make Walks
and Repair Roads.

A woman who lives In the country
will find she can save a great many
pennies by regulating household trash,
ashes. etc. Trash. for instance. is all
expense in the country. because the
householder pays for having 1t Carted
away. Therefore her economy comes
In having inllammablc stuff burned on
the premises. And as dry trash is
easily threC-fourths of the refuse. she
saves just that much on carriage.
To hold trash there should be bar.
rels and a firm mandate issued by the
head of the home that old tins. bottles
and everything non.burnable must be
put into them In the other barrel pa
pcrs, rags, etc, that usually fill the
household scrap baskets must be
placed.
One particular spot on the place
should be reserved for the holocaust
II will be black and unsightly spot
and for that reason retired nook
should be chosen. If there is none
the drive may be used, for after the
fire is out the gravel may be raked
a.
Of the fire are obliterated.
Whether or not there is a regular
day for burning depends upon the
hOusekcepGr's own routine. If a man
comes once IA week to clean the
grounds he should attend to the bon
fire.
AS for ashes. unless they are very
coarse they make excellent walks in
the country. II is advisable to have
them siftcd first as some may be
burned later, thereby reducing the
coal bill. Those LEFT are cinders that
will pack down hard and smooth and
save buying gravel for walks and
drives. In this way whole path may
be made of ashes with thin top
layer of gravel, This is a tip for per
sons building bouutry homes on lin.
tied incomes. They. as none others,
know that the financial demands of
the grounds are endless and this is
one way in which money may be
saved.
lf one does not require ashes for
the grounds there are always country
roads in need of repair, where they
may be put. For instance, deep holes
may be filled with the cinders, or they
may be distributed evenly along the
wayside. Selectmen have no objection
to this, if the ashes are properly
placed, and many dollar may be
saved.

An ImDOrtaut Matter.

Over i'll HarrisOnburg, Va, the new
State Normal School Faculty advertses
an attendance last year from all orer the
state of ''209 students"
Why is it that the people of Maryland
do not favor the State Normal in Frost
burg in the same way and to similar
extent?
In the JOURNALS Judgment the lead
ing reason is-the want of dormitory
for the proper accommodation, enter
tainment and protection of students.
Hence, while there is talk of exploit
ing the town as great summer resort
and bloviating about some other desira-
bilities, there is nothing more important
as an acquisition than dormitory for
the State Normal School,
To this end, at least three men should
be sent to the next Legislature, strong
enough and specially commissioned, to
secure the necessary appropriation for
that addition to the school property.
Until that is secured the Schools use
fulness and power will continue to be
materially curtailed-this to the mutual
loss Of public education and the town.

HendrickSOn, w. G.. DevecmOn and
Clayton Purnell, and reports from others,
including farmers, made the meeting
representative of popular protest
against the current piecemeal methods
of building and rebuilding the roads
committee was appointed to voice
this sentiment i'll resolutions, as follows:
First, That it is the sense of this meeting
that the State Roads Commission, estab-
liShed by Act of the General Assembly of
MARYLAND, was designed to build and main
tam system of good roads to develop the
resources of the whole State to improve the
State as whole, and not to benefit local in
tereSts or particular parts of the State, and
that the plans of the Commission, as mani
tested in its work IN the western counties
are not in accordance with the design of the
Legislature.
Second, That in executing their work in
Allegany county the Commissioners have
been guilty of gross CareeSSneSs and negli-
gence, whereby the citizens of the county
and Others have for a long time suffered
grcviOuS injury.
Thjrd, That the grand jury for Allegany
county be requested to investigate at its next
session the conduct of said Roads Commits
sion in reference to the building of the road
from Cumberland to the SiX-Mile House on
the Baltimore pike, and particularly to
ascertain whether it was lawful for said
Commission to cause said road (Which has
been public highway for over sixty years.
to be closed to public travel for more than
twelve months.

To our notion the former primary law
making the counties of the district the UNITS
of power was fairer method of making
nominations than the present one, wherein
the total vote of the whole district deter
mines the result.-Cumberland 1ntericau.
The JOURNAL cannot see it that way.
That county giving one candidate a
thousand majority should have no more
vocal power than one giving another one
hundred majority is a postulate Meth r
republican nor democratic in principle.
Under the unit rule a nominee may
carry three counties with a less ma
Jority than his opponent has carried

the weaker winning over the stronger.
