To Locate Plant in This City.

After visiting Grafton and ElEins, w.
Va. and Cumberland and Hagerstown,
Md representatives of the Gilman EX-
tension Company Wednesday located
their factory for the manufacture of furni-
ture, refrigerators and ladders of all kinds
in Frederick.
An excellent lot of about two acres,
Just within the city limits, was purchased,
and the representatives say that it is their
intention to move their plant from Gil
man, w. Va, to this city as soon as pos
sible.
They were shown FIVE sites in this city
by special committee from the local
Board OF Trade, and because of the loca-
ton Of Frederick in respect to the cities
to Which they sell.in the Eastern market
it was decided to locate here.
1t is the purpose of the company,
which manufactures furniture at present.
to enlarge their factory in this city so as
to include refrigerators and many differ
ent kinds of ladders. They expect to
erect a 40 by so foot two-story plant
which will furnish employment for num-
Der of expert workman.
The company is capitalized at $25 900
and has a factory at Gilman. w. Va,
but wished to move to point closer to
their market
John Thuabald inventor and manufac-
turer of, extension, scaiiolding, straight
and step ladders, is with the firm and will
move his business here also.
The members of the firm in Frederick
are: Oliver Coblentz, formerly of Middle.

William j. Grave on Preservation
Of Highways.

The following communication was re-
ceived from Mr.. VIM. Grove. one ofthe
foremost advocates in the State of Good
Roads. 1t deals widely with the preser-
vation of improved roads. and carefully
points out the necessity OF taking care of
good roads after their construction. He
refers particularly to the road recently
constructed between Jefferson and Knox
vile. With his article he enclosed the
following clipping from an editorial in
the Montgomery County Press:
The up-keep of good road is quite as
important as its construction in fact, 1t is
waste of money to build an expensive
highway without providing for its main
tenance The surface of every macadam
road should be treated with oil, or some
sticky application, which will hold the
top dressing IN place, as soon as the road
is finished, and holes and ruts in the road
should be filled IN as soon as they APP
pear. A tight roof is necessary to good
road, for if water once gets into the ma
cadam the road will go to pieces, More
than thirty miles of modern roads have
be- built in this county in the last few
wears, and Montgo merry county is next to
Baltimore county in the matter of road
building, which is, indeed creditable,
but system of constant maintenance
should be established to insure the long
est service.
The letter follows:
The attached splendid editorial from
the Montgomery Press applies to all ma
cadam roads and immediate action must
be taken if our roads are to be preserved
from destruction by speeding automo-
bilists. The seven miles of road between
Jefferson and Knoxville just completed
by Coblentz and Klipp and NJ. ]. Grove
Lime Co. where they have been IN use
for more than year are beginning to
ravel owing to the suction caused by the
powerful cars now in use.
The road being the gateway between
the North and South through the great
Valley is becoming very
popular and this fine stretch of road is
being used by many as speedway. BY
actual count two hundred and sixtytour
and motorcycles passed over |
this road on the Fourth OF July while |
about one hundred is the average on Sun |
day, and touring cars are rushing in great |
over it daily.
The State should take immediate ac-
ton to preserve this expensive and we'll
built road.

Hog Cholera on the Increase.

The Live Stock Sanitary Board, whose
office is in the Union Trust Company
Building, Baltimore, Md, give out the
fact that hog cholera is existing to quite
a serious extent in the State, and with a
desire to do all in its power to overcome
this terrible enemy to our hog stock, has
bought small quantity of Hog Cholera
Serum, which it will supply to the
farmers free upon the condition that it is
administered promptly as the State Vet
erinarian may direct by competent
party. Hog cholera serum does not cure
the disease but has proven very eftica-
cious as a preventive. Due caution
should be used in buying and selling
hogs while the present serious conditions
exits. When hogs or other animals die
of contagious diseases, their carcasses
should be promptly burned. Simple
burying will not do as they are often
dlsinterred by dogs and the disease then
spreads. Any information concerning
the laws on this subject will be cheerfully
supplied by the board.

More than S., 900, 600 damage was done
to crops in the south last month by the
army worms, according to unofficial esti-
mates of the department of agriculture.
Whether the seasons second brood of
the insects. already appearing in South
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and other
states, will increase this loss is of much
concern to government experts. All the
means at the departments disposal are
being used 10 meet the emergency.
Reports to the department say the
army worms, at some places half foot
deep on the railroad tracks, have stopped
trains. The loss is placed at $1,000, 900

of the corn and 20 per cent of the cotton

A Welcome Caller at the Office of

A welcome visitor at the office of the
CITIZEN was Professor Ernest l.; La

conversationalSt, he has wonderful men,
orv for gentleman nearly four score years
In answer to an inquiry relative to his
old pupil, President Madero, of the Mex
lean Republic, he said he was a great
man. and his administration would be
crowned with success, The unfortunate
condition of affairs caused by the unruly
element, consisting mostly Of bushwhaCk-
ers and half breeds, has set back many OF
the contemplated Improvements for the
betterment of the Republic. In regard
to political affairs in this county and
country at large he spoke hopefully and
predicted the election of Governor Will
son, as well as Messrs. Lewis and Worth
ton.
Thursday last, August 18th. marked
the AID anniversary of the acceptance OF
the position Professor LaGarde holds at
Mt. St. Mary's, and he became MEM
Der of the faculty OF this famous inStltu-
ton on September s, 1860. In all these
years Mr.. LaGarde has been the profess
sor of English and of modern languages
and no professor of the institution is held
in higher esteem. Professor LaGarde
probably holds the record for continued
service in one college in Maryland, al
though Professor Jourdan, of Mt. St.
Mary's preceded him at the institution
by five years, but was away and not
member of the faculty for nine years.
Professor and Mrs. LaGarde have been
spending few days with Mr.. and Mrs.

dence on West Church street.
