Calling the Violet.

Calling the Violet,
Dear little Violet, don't be afraid!
Lift your blue eyes from the rocks mossy
bed;
All theNbirds call for you out Of the sky
May is here waiting, and here, too am l..
Why do you shiver so, Violet sweet?
Soft Is the meadow grass under my feet.
Wrapped in your hood of green, Violet.
why
Peep from your earthen door SO silent
and shy?
Tickle the little brooks close to your bed;
Softest of fieecy clouds float overhead;
Ready and waiting!" the slender reeds
sigh;
"Ready and waiting" we sing May and l.
Come, pretty Violet, winters away;
Come, for without you May isn't May.
Down through the sunshine wings f1utter
Quick, little Violet. open your eye!
Hear the rain whisper. Dear Violet,
comev
How can you stay in your underground
home?
Up in the pine-boughs for you the winds
sigh,
Homesick to see you are we May and l.

THURSDAY, MAY II, 1911.
New and Proper Departure.

The Board OF Town COnmlsslOn-
ers have indicated that there will
he new departure from the old me-
thod of doing things. They will have
all their meetings at stated times to
which the public or those who may
be interested will be welcome. The
citizens Of the town have right to
know how their representatives delibe-
rate on the questions, and the public
likewise have right to know where
the Board as a whole or in part are
inclined to be progressive.
This is as it should he. 1t is true
there are not SO many weighty quest
ions that confront the officials It a
town the size OF Thurmont, yet there
are some coming up at all times for
settlement.
The Commissioners should invite
the Citizens of the town to come for
ward with their demands, and if
reasonable they have right to have
them granted; if they are unrcason-
able the Board should say SO and give
their reason publicly for their action.
The town commissioners now have
considerably more on their hands to
handle than ever before in the adj
ministration of the Lighting system,
and this with the street Improvements
will require a strict business watch
on the subject of taxation, in which
all are interested.
The subject of taxation will bring
forth many criticismsi if the Commits
sioners should fail in any particular
to do their full duty by each and
every taxpayer of the town.
There are few who pay taxes with
a relish; most people would cvade
taxes if they had a reasonable way
Of doing SO, yet those who would be
disposed to evade taxes, would, no
doubt be louder in their demands
for reforms, improvements, etc, than
the other class.
That there is an inequality of
taxation in the town will not be
denied, and it will be duty of the
Commissioners to make it equitable,
in so far as it lies in their poweNto
do so. The person with loose per-
sonal property and real estate can
never escape the vigilant eye of the
assessor, but those who have securely
locked strong boxes are harder to
reach. This latter class are not so
numerous in Thurmont, yet they do
exist, and when the time for assess
ment comes around they should be
interviewed the same as the little
fellow" who amt got much".
The Clarion stands ready to assist
in any way that is reasonable or
possible to help further the welfare
of the town and better the community.
The columns are open to those
who have anything to say pro or con
on the subjects that are of interest,
and we shall particularly welcome
the proceedings Of each meeting of
the town commissioners, and if any
individual member of said Board has
any view that he may wish to public
ly express, it shall be our pleasure to
publish them.

Who Toih The News?

Oh, the sunshine told the bluebird,
And the bluebird told the brook,
That the dandelions were peeping
From the woodlands sheltered nook
So the brook was blithe and happy,
And it babbled all the way,
As it ran to tell the river
OF the coming of the May.
Then the river told the meadow,
And the meadow told the bee,
That the tender buds were swelling
On the old horse chestnut tree;
And the bee shook off its torpor,
And 1t spread each gaugy wing,
As it flew to tell the flowers
Of the coming of the spring.

Why so many songs and poems have
been written about dreams is a question
that has never been definitely settled,
still, every new song on the subject that
has literary merit and pleasing melody
meets with public approval. 1.-THE
Vale Of Dreams" new song by Chas.
E. Baer and Johann e. Schmid, is at
present very popular in New York and
Boston. In fact, it was in Boston that
it first attained popularity, byits rendition
at Boston Conservatory concert. A
young contralto made her debut and in
stantly became famous by her rendition
of 1.-THE Vale OF Dreams" 1t is really
a high-class ballad, and far above the
average popular song. The publishers,
Jerome H. Remick & Co., have of late
years devoted considerable money and
energy in trying to raise the standard of
popular songs, and 1.-THE Garden Of
Roses, ''by the same composers, also
high-class ballad, has actually outsold
any of the popular sohgsin their catalogue.
Musical taste is improving, and while
the people still love the rollicking songs
of the vaudeville stage, they welcome the
better class of songs in their homes.
The first part of "The Vale Of Dreams"
opens in minor key, leading up to the
refrain in major. Mr.. Bert Sheridan, of
the celebrated Rolfonians, is singing this
song nightly to big applause.
CHORUS.
Meet me in the vale of dreams, by the
summer sea;
There loves star forever CLEANS, dear,
Cleans for you and CLEANS for me.
There our hearts will find,repose,
Meath the moons fair beams.
Meet me there beside the rose,
In the vale of dreams.

The Swing.
How do you like to 90 up in a swing,
Up in the air 30 blue?
Oh, I do think II the pleasantest thing
Ever child can do!
Up IN the air and over the wall,

Over the contryside-
Till Isuok down on the garden green,
Down on the roof 90 brown
Up In the air 60 flying again,
UP IN the air and down.

Daisies, -
At evening when go to bed
see the stars shine overhead;
They are the little daisies white
That dot the meadows of the night.
And often while I'm dreaming 80,
Across the sky the moon will 90; .
1t Is lady sweet and fair,
Who comes to gather daisies there.
For when at morning arise,
There's not star left in the skies;
She's picked them all and dropped then
down
Into the meadows of the town.
