March.

The stormy March has come at last,
With wind and cloud, and changing skies;
| hear the rushing of the blast,
That through the snowy valley flies.
All, passing few are they who speak,
Wild stormy month! in praise of thee;
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art welcome month to me.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills
And the full springs, from frost set free,
That, brightly leaping down the hills,
Are just set out to meet the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
or wintry storms, the sullen threat
But, in thy sternest froWn abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring st the hope of those calm
skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems of brighter world than ours.

Mr.. EDITOR:
= c..

One of the editorials couple
Of months ago referred to standing up
for the right. and for order. 1t chal-
lenged the citizens of our town to ''speak
out A profound silence ensued -
sounded" like like Quaker meeting!
1t is pity that in community where
SO much is at stake in regard to the
morals of the young, so many represent
alive people dare not speak out for what
is upright and moral.
What is needed here very much is a
Y. M. c. A., where the boys and young
men can congrcgate for healthful, sane
Amusements, gymnastic work, and clean,
personal, moral direction.
The only place for the young of both
sexes is the street, where they can pass
more or less time, and which is not con-
lucive to the best results; especially
when so many hear rough, vulgar jokes;
backguarding on the part Of those who
houd set more decent example, and
where very little is said to elevate. Un-
fortunately the example is not set only
by the worst element, but by those whom
the young men and boys ought to be able
to look to for good example.
There is nothing admirable nor credit
able in foul language and Safeguarding,
and it is very Notifying to the ladies of
the town to realize that in passing a
crowd of men and boys on the street,
rough, unmentionable remarks, should
some times be overheard.
There is, also, another element which
needs cleaning up, and this is house
cleaning time; so why not undertake the
job now? | refer to scandal monger5.
No act on the part of an innocent person,
whether young or old, goes uncri;icised;
evil is imputed to that person at every
turn. Only the naturally evil-minded
gently developed, are the ones always
ready to turn an innocent act into some
thing wrong. Were people to endeavor
to use their brains and time to better
purpose it would be to their credit, and,
society in general far better One can
not, nor does self-respecting person
care to run around explaining each move
to the general public, nor is it the public $
business.
One great pity is that the young people
of the town are so often criticised by the
slanderous tongue of suspicious or jealous
person. If they meet at respectable
homes, even for an evenings entertain
ment, properly chaperoned, there is
bound to be tale of woe spread next
day that has not an atom of truth in it..
Fortunately there is large element
who desire decent, intelligent morality
along all lines, but united effort is need
ed single individuals can do but little,
except that one good example can bene-
fit in like degree.
, Hoping others will not fear to take up
| the cause and trusting that this will not
paralyze the tongues as your editorial
did, | remain sincerely.

Good Citizenship.

letters appearing under this head
Good Citizenship.
Now that the time for the annual elec-
ton of Board of Town Commissioners
for Thurmont is approaching, it is thor
oughly within keeping with the ideas OF
good citizenship that all voters should
pause for a moment and reflect upon the
selection of the proper candidates for the
Board.
Since the installation of the electric
light plant, some, grave questions have
arisen as to the proper methods OF oper-
alton, the improvements which will as
sure us light, all night, safety appliances
which will prevent damage to machinery
all of which must be solved at an early
date if this investment is to be success.
Other important problems such as more
rigid enforcement of law and order reg
ulations, establishment of paving grade
lines, ETC., must receive prompt atten-
ton if Thurmont is to continue to be pro-
gressive. Do you desire continuation
of our growth or do you desire that the
town should stop and stand still?
If you are satisfied that the members
of the present board have given thorough
satisfaction; that the electric plant has
been operated in the most profitable and
satisfactory manner possible; that the
present enforcement Of law and order
regulations has been all that it should be;
in brief, if you think that better Board
cannot be selected then it is your duty
as voters to reflect the old board.
On the other hand, you are thorough
ly satisfied that by the adoption of strict
business methods, better results and
greater revenue can be required from the
electric plant than has been done under
the administration of the present board;
if you think that the maintenance of law
and order can be improved upon by
stricter enforcement of our present reg"
ulations, then it is your duty as taxpayer
and citizen to think carefully and select
men whom you think will improve upon
the present conditions and to nominate
and elect such men to compose the Board
for the coming year.
This is not meant as challenge to any
individual, but simply asa keynote to the
campaign in which we are about to enter.
The writer has the welfare of the town
at heart and while he regrets that condi-
tions of nature have been such that we
do not h ave sufficient water to operate
"a hours per day our $40, 0OO electric plant,
at the same time he feels sure there are
other plans which can be adopted to make
this plant thoroughly successful and this
at a minimum cost SO that the invest
ment will be profitable one instead of
burden as it is at present.

Waiting to Grow.

Waiting to Grow.
Little white snowdrop just waking up,
Violet, daisy and sweet buttercup!
Think of the flowers that are under the
snow,
Waiting to grow!
And think what hosts of queer little
seeds
Of flowers and mosses and ferns and
weeds
Are under the leaves, and under the
snow,
Waiting to grow!
Think of the roots getting ready to sprout,
Reaching their slender brown fingers
about,
Under the ice and the leaves and the
snow,
Waiting to grow!
Nothing so small, or hid so well,
That God will not find it, and very soon
tell
His sun where to shine and his rain
where to go
70 help them to grow!

Pretty little catkin,
Swinging in the sun,
Pretty little catkin
Is your work begun?
You are stretching downward,
Do you want to see
Just how long catkin
Growing we'll may be?
Pretty little catkin,
Now your blossoms part
And the yellow pollen
Scatters from your heart.

This is what you do;
Growing time is pleasant

The cock is Growing,
The stream is flowing.
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter.
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest,
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare i'll
On the top of the bare HILL
The plowboy is whooping anon-anon
There's joy on the mountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!

OF the trees in the valleys low?
Have you watched it creeping creepin,
Up the mountain, soft and slow?
Weaving there plush-lika mantle,
BrowniSh, grayish. reddish, green,
Changing. changing, daily, hourly,
Till it smiles in emerald sheen?
Have you seen the autumn frostings
Spreading all the LEAKAGE bright,
Frostirgs Of the rarest color,
Red and yellow, dark and light?
Have you seen the glory painted
On the mountain, valley, hill,
When the landscape, all illumined,
Blazons forth his taste and skill?
Have you thought the resurrection
Seen in Nature year by year
Is symbol of our rising
In a higher, holier sphere?

Make your autumn rich and grand,
That your winter be Ii passage
Through the gates of Glory-land.
