Again Thurmont has baker. This
time the bake oven and store room is To-
Gated in the Lycett Building, corner E..
Main and church streets, the store being
on on E. Main street.
Mr.. Emil Barkowsky, the baker and
proprietor, with his wife and little daugh-
ter arrived here from Baltimore last
Thursday and were busy the remainder
of the week arranging their furniture
and storeroom but found time Saturday
to bake few cakes. Monday his first
bake of bread was placed on sale. Wag-
ons have been on the road daily and those
In charge find no trouble selling the goods
produced by Mr.. Barkowsky.
Every day about half dozen baskets
of bread has been shipped from Hagers-
town, Frederick and Columbia into Thur
mont. Now that bakery Is located here
those dealing in bread should patronize
home industry.

100000 A YEAR FOR
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.

The 10000 or more rural free de-
livery carriers in the United States
are to receive salary increases as
result of decision reached last week
by Postmas ter- General Hitchcock.
The order will provide for the dis
bufsement during the current fiscal
year of 81 100000 which will mean
an increase of 500 over the present
salary of 5000 for ill carriers on stand
ard routes, with proportionatc IN
creases OH the shorter routes.
Congress provided last Session tor
the expenditure Of this extra 81. OO0.-
600, but left it to the discretion Of
the Postmaster General as to how
much should be expend ID. Mr..
Hitchcock has now decided to nu-
thorize the disbursement of the full
amount. His desire to compensate
the carriers for any additional bur
den which may be placed on them if
the parcels post system he has rec
commended for rural routes is approx
ed by Congress was the important
consideration, he declared.
Now that the men are to re ceive
such generous increase in pay" he
says, II feel that Congress should
lose no time in authorizing the car
rying of parcels on rural routes. A
parcels post system on rural routes
can be conducted without extra ex-
pense to the Government other than
the $4,000, 900 salary increase, which
in my Judgement, would be more
than offset by the parcels post sys-
tenn"
During the current year the rural
service will cost about 10000, 600,
the estimated loss being Approximate
ly $25,OOO,OOO. The Postmaster
General expressed the belief that the
parcels post system, under proper
management, would insure the main
tcnancc and proper extension of the
rural free delivery service as self
supporting branch of the postal ser
vice.
The rural delivery system was start
ed Is years ago with SO carriers, who
were paid only 5000 year. On Ju-
ly /, there were Al 1862 carriers, their
aggregate salaries being $35, 1913, GOO.

Stone Pavements Disappe airing.

Stone Pavements Disappearing.
During the past three weeks an unusual
amount of concrete pavements has been
put down. On w. Main street the flag
stone pavements in front of Mrs. H. C.
Roots property and the Miller Hotel
have been torn away and substantial
concrete pavements put down. Adjoin-
ing Mrs. Root on the east Mrs. Jas. l..
Lytell has had torn up very rough alley
cobbling and piece of brick pavement
and replaced the same with concrete and
put in concrete water drain.
On Altamont Avenue concrete pave
ment and water drain has been put down
in front of the unimproved property of
Mr.. Lester Birely, the Church of the
Brethren property and along the proper
ty of Mrs. w. w. Zimmerman con-
tinuous stretch of about 700 feet. This
with the concrete walk in front of the
residences of MIR. Blrely and Mrs. Grason
Palmer, makes walk about 800 feet
long, with concrete water drain the en-
tire length. If the town council goes
ahead now and grades the street, this
will be the prettiest of the streets in
town.
While all this work was being done
Mr.. d. X. Rouzer had force Of men en-
gagged tearing out the stone cobbling in
the water drain in front of his E. Main
street property, and a concrete drain put
down. Unfortunately, last Friday when
about half the cement was put down a
heavy rain fell and damaged the work
badly. This was remodeled Saturday
morning and on Monday the work COM
pleted.
We presume no laborers could be Sc
curek to lay cement on that ten feet of
miserable pavement at the railroad on E.
Main street.

PORTRAITS
 ADoRN POSTAGE STAMPS
New Assignment of Various Sorts Just
 Received at Phoenix Office.

After many years of service Benja min Franklin is about to be removed from his position on the 1-cent post age stamp. He will, however, be pro- noted to a place on five other stamps Of higher denominations This is one Of many interesting changes which are about to be made in the stamps of the
 United States. Early in the coming year new issues will be ready and some of them will be d decided nov city.
 The portrait of George Washington may now be found on stamps of ten different denominations When the new issues are out it will only be on six. The Washington stamps will hereafter be the 1-cent, 2-cent. scent. 4-cent. scent and 6-cent. Hereafter the Scent 10-cent Recent, 50- cent and si stamps. which now bear the DOT trait of Washington, will display that ot Franklin.
 Here is an item which will be of interest to stamp collectors. At pres ent the government issues S2 stamp. G;rk blue in color. with the portrait of James Madison and S5 stamp, dark green. with the portrait of John Marshall These two stamps are to be dropped from the new issue. which will contain no denomination higher than dollar As soon as those which are now on hand have been disposed of the Madison and Marshall stamps will simply become of historical in- terest
 There will be q few changes in stamp colors. although not in the issues which are widely used. The 2-cent will remain the same, crimson. The 1-cent will remain green, but there will he change in design. because of the removal of the Franklin head. The Washington portrait will be displayed in the sam1 manner on the 1-cent as it is at Dresent of the 2-cent stamps. On both the I and 2-cent issues, however, there will be this important change The denomination of the present stamps is expressed in words. On the new ones numerals will be used in each of the lower corners. in the same manner as they are employed on our

The Day of Days.

Today is the day. By o'clock tonight the voters of Arizona will have decided irrevocably. for a year at least. whether they will turn over to the radical, rule or ruin element Of the population the reins of state government or whether they will put in place and power in Phoenix and in congress men who will briug about a restoration of prosperity to Arizona by inspiring confidence in capital that it will be given a square deal if it seeks investment in Arizona enterprises and gives employment to thousands of Arizona workingmen.
 The campaign has been spirited in the extreme and the issues have been discussed thoroughly in every voting precinct of the state with the result that every voter is fully informed as to the attitude of the political parties toward the many questions in which the voters having the best interests Of the state and their own welfare at heart. have deemed of vital import ance
 As has been said before by The Republican the campaign of the re- publican party has been an educa- tional campaign. Accepting the con- stitution as an accomplished fact and pledging themselves to carry out its provisions as loyal citizens of the state the candidates did not waste their time discussing it but devoted themselves to elucidations of plans for the up-
