"Ihe rIan en- the Box. "

Few comedies produced in recent
years have provoked so much hearty
laughter as the play The Man on the
Box, taken from Harold McGrath's
popular novel of the same name, and
theatre goers of this city undoubtedly
will be well pleased to learn that this
good play will be the attraction at The
Maryland Theatre on Friday night,
February 10th, 1912.
From start to finish Its plot, its char,
acters, and incidents are provocative of
laughter. Comedy is always in high
favor with theatre goers, and the full
capacity of the theatre will surely be
required for the performance.
The play will be presented here by a
special company, headed by Mr.. Walter
Scott Weeks in the role of Bob Wor-
burton, and supported by Miss Marion
conquest and a good cast. The play
will be staged with special settings with
no detail of the production sighted.
Seats on sale at Gonder's Pharmacy
and the prices will be 80, so, rs cents
and 81.

To Form West Virginia Synod.

The convention for the formation of
Lutheran synod in West Virginia will
convene at Fairmont on April l6, The
formation of the new synod was an
nounced for an earlier date. but some
of the churches were unable to have
representatives present, and so the later
time was selected.
The decision of the Wheeling churches
to enter the synod made it possible.
The Cumberland churches have not yet
decided whether or not to enter, but if
they do, the strength of the synod will
be materially increased. AS soon as the
new territory is organized, missions will
be established at a number of points
through the state and the eXpositlo of
of the church attempted.

ENLIST CHILDREN IN MOVE
Publlc-Spirlted Men of Washington
Offer Prizes for the Best Kept
School Gardens.

At meeting of the Washington
Cd. c. Florist club prizes were Of
fered for the best ornamentation OF
school gardens in order to stimulate
interest in the competition between
the schools. This is another move in
the direction of the proper develop
ment of the gardening spirit on the
part of the children Of Washington.
For some years they have been under
instruction in the matter of home and
school garden work, and without ques-
ton Washington has benefited ma
terially in appearance as result, but
much yet remains to be done. The
opportunities at the school buildings
themselves have not been fully util-
lied, owing, in a large measure, to
the lack of funds. The children have
contributed themselves, with the aid
of their parents, to the purchase Of
supplies for school garden work, but
their means are limited. Further
more, at many of the schools the con-
ditions are unpropitious. Most Of the
ground is utilized for recreation pur'
poses. After the closing of the schools
the gardens are exposed to the van
dalism of the public, and by the first
of July little remains to show for the
diligent work that has been done dur
ing the spring. Nevertheless, all this
means Improvement. At the homes
of the pupils flowers and vines are
grown where before there was no at
tempt at decoration. These influences
reach far, and the school gardens
stand virtually for widespread So
cial Improvement.
