News of the SWaStika Climb.

Tuesday evening of last week found
the members of the Swastika Club at
st. Anthony's hall for the first rehearsal
of what is considered the best drama ever
produced on the local stage. This great
military drama has won fame wherever
played and we feel sure it will more than
likely have to be repeated. The date for
the drama at St. Antnony's is June q,
and Thurmont June 20.
The drama will mark the anniversary
of the clubs organization. Nothing will
be left undone to make it success. The
scenes and events mentioned in the da-
logue are all correct war history and are
backed by the best histories of the late
rebellion and the many old soldiers when
witnessing it's rendition will recall the
events mentioned.
Come one and all and see the drama
Children under six accompanied by par
ents admitted free. Tickets will go on
sale June 6 for St. Anthony's, and June
l3 for Thurmont.

Give Students An Outing.

On Saturday last the students of Blue
Ridge College, of Union Bridge, were
taken to Myersville by teachers of that
institution for the purpose of seeing
where, in all probability, many of them
will in the future attend Blue Ridge Col
lege. The trip was made via the W. M.
and Frederick Railroads, all having tick
cts with no stop over privileges attached.
Wonder what the verdict would have
been had these students been given the
privilege of seeing Thurmont and the
grounds on which the college would have
been built?

the road in an automobile all day.
The inspection trip started at Oakland,
Garrett county, and the route of the old

John P r. Matthias and Mr.. Peter N.
Hammaker of this place, and number
of citizens from Frederick IN automobiles

Clean Tn and Decorate.

AS Saturday of this week is Decoration
Day in Thurmont, the streets should be
put in good condition and everything
made to look neat as possible. The pile
of stones which decorate the space be-
tween the pavement and building at the
Corner Drug Store should be removed.
Wonder what visitors think of this stone
pile, and again we wonder why the town
commissioners allow them to remain
there?
Let everyone who can decorate their
homes and places of business with flags
and bunting on this occasion.

BAND CONCERT.
M. V. Band and Alfretta Tribe
Red Men Bring Big Crowd
To Town.

As announced through this paper and
by posters, the Monocacy Valley Band of
Creagerstown, and Alfretta Tribe, I'm
proved Order of Red Men of Woodsboro,
came to town Saturday evening.
Many members of these organizations
brought their families and together
with those coming to town to see the
parade and hear the music, made the
crowd unusually large.
The parade started from Town Hall,
the band leading and the Red Men fol-
lowing the trail. This, SO far as we
know, being the first Red Mems organi-
cation to parade in Thurmont, it furnish
ed more or less amusement to the onlook-
ers. After marching over the principal
streets concert was given in the Hall.
This was listened to by large audience
in the Hall and larger one from the
street; the solo work of Mr.. Pierce Sny-
der and Marion G. Warner, and in fact
all the music, being much appreciated.
During the evening Hon. Glenn H.
Worthington, Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Circuit Court, addressed
the audience.
The visitors remained in town until it
was near the hour of the Low Sun. I"
Just how many palefaces were scalped
or promised to appear before the Sachem
at his wigwam, or how many inches of
wampum the boys secured we cannot
say. We believe, however, that num-
Der of twigs were pocketed.

WoIf On Grand Gland

Wolf On Grand Island
a large wolf has crossed the ice from
the mainland to Grand Island and is
slaughtering the deer on the Cleveland
Cllns game preserve. The carcasses
of four deer have been discovered by
the gamekeepcrs. and many others
have probably been killed. Al efforts
10 STAY the wolf have been unsuccess-
iul, and at the present time there are
fifteen hunters on the island.
According 10 the accounts Of the
gamekeepers the wolf is an enormous
one, and when found he is expected
To be the largest ever killed IA these
parts. The wolf undoubtedly crossed
over TO the island at b'riday. as his
tracks were still fresh when discovered.
There Is considerable apprehension
left by the gamekeepers because of
the presence OF the wolf on the island.
The large area OF the game preserve
makes il possible for the wolf 10 evade
the hunters who are seeking 20 put an
end to him. Several Years ago a wolf
crossed over from the mainland, and
when he was finally killed had done
damage 10 the amount of $500.

him as he would not try TO break
down party precedent But, on the
other hand II Osborn win make a
statement that he Will positively not
accept another nomination, then Nus
selman win enter the field.
Now the general feeling among the
legislators is that If Musselman enters
he will be a very strong contender for
The position Even the Wayne delega
ton declare that Musselman stands
high in Detroit and that ne will take
away some support Martlndale may
hope for among the business men OF
the city of the straits. From the
rural districts Mussolman's praises are
loudly sung ana it is very manifest
indeed that should be announce his
candidacy. he win rally very strong
support 10 his banner.
Then there is Ross to be considered.
Ross made friends on every hand as
Lieutenant governor. During the tur-
bulent times Of the regular session he
steered mighty even course, playing
absolutely fair with all factions and
winning the friendship ana respect Of
every man i'm the, senate and those
outside who had an opportunity to
watch the proceedings. Ross was
doomed as a possible candidate a long
time ago. But he, too, said If Gov
crnOr Osborn wanted a second term he
was entitled to II and Ross would be
for him. But now Governor Osborn
has told Ross positively that If the
presidential primary bin is passed he
viii. under no circumstances, accept
another nomination and pressure IS
being brought 10 bear upon the lieu
tenant governor to get into the game
so he is likely TO do IL.
II is well known that Ross has
received assurance of support from
Detroit and from all over the state,
especially i'm the cities. 1t is gem
orally conceded that he would make
an ideal governor and ne admits he 8
greatly tempted To get into the Same
at once.
1t has been said, too. that should
Ross and Musselman get into the
game or either one OF them. an at
I
tempt would be made 10 secure the
withdrawal of Martlndale and Camp
bell. although 1t is admitted it viii
probably be impossible to get Martin
dale out. However, should Ross and
Musselman get in, the ether candi-
dates would be lost sight Of because
the candidates of these two who are
most prominently mentioned and look
ed to everywhere would over shadow
the other two whose strength at this
time seems INSIGNIFICANT.
The attitude of Governor Osborn
will be clearly made known after The
special session is a matter of history
The vice presidential talk will become
more than ever insistent i'm case the
governor is not candidate again IN
the state game.
