Railroad Notes.

Scarcely in the history of the W..

tions been worse than present. Mer-
chants along the line are complaining,
for they never know when their
freight from Baltimore will arrive.
Just recently it took what is known
as the local" freight train from
Friday until Tuesday to reach Thur
mont. Just last week this freight
train arrived here at the end OF the
rs hour time limit. The train was
placed on siding and the crew took
their eight hours rest before unload
ing much wanted goods for local mer-
chants.
The big No. 80 passenger car which

OUTBREAK OF FALL ARMY WORM

The Fall Army Worm which has
caused great destruction of crops in
Southern States this summer, has
appeared in several places in Mary
land during the past week. 1t has
destroyed fields of alfalfa and millet
and seriously damaged late corn,
spinach and other crops. 1t has also
ruined many blue grass lawns.
At the present time it seems highly
probable that there will be another
generation of the worm, which will
appear about the last week in Sep
tember, unless sharp cold spell in
tervenes, or natural parasites destroy
the pupae, which are now just below
the surface of the soil in infected
fields.
In cases where crops have been de-
stroyed, the denuded land should be
plowed as deeply as possible at once.
Such land should be kept clean by
narrowing and the planting of any
crop should be delayed as late as
practicable.
Practical tests by this Department
during the past week have proven
that the poisoned cut-worm bait is
the most effective remedy where prac-
tical to employ. This bait is made
by mixing ! pound Paris green or
3 pounds arsenate of lead and one
gallon of molasses, or 10 pounds OF
sugar to 80 pounds of bran or wheat
middlings. These materials should
be mixed together thoroughly and
then dampened to make wet mash.
1t should be sowcd broadcast over
the infected fields late in the after
noon.
In treating corn or other similar
crop, the poison is best applied in
dust form by mixing one part of the
poison to 20 parts of flour or air
slaked lime. The migration of the
worms from one field to another, or
parts thereof, can be prevented by
plowing deep furrows into which the
worms may be trapped. All out
breaks of this pest should be prompt
ly reported to the undersigned, 50
that we may cooperate as far as pos
sible in preventing further depreda-
ton by the insect.

only by running very slow. 1t is said
the track will be Strengthened and put
in condition for high speed cars such
as No. 80. After this is done the
running time between Frederick and
Hagerstown will be reduced to about
half of what is now required.
Contractor Johnson has finished
grading for the long sidings which
are to be built by the w. M. road at
this place. The laying of track will
begin shortly.

Fireman Staubs Of Cumberland, was

layed about four hours.
Business on the Thurmont Division
of the Frederick railraad is ever on
the Increase, especially in the way OF
freight. On Tuesday of this week 30
cars were moved, one train of sixteen
cars coming from Frederick in charge
of conductor E. f. Weddle. Two
engines were attached to the cars, one
of them being the old No. 800 which
some months ago left the rail and
upset at Lewiseown. After placing
the cars on the siding train of five
cars was taken to Frederick.

BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATED.
Mr.. Simon A. LOhr 80; Master
Calvin s. LOhr IL.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Lohr on Sun
day last in commemoration OF the
birthdays of Mr.. Simon A. Lohr and
Master Calvin S. Lohr, their father
and son, invited Mr.. and Mrs. Lohr
to their home for dinner, telling them
that friend, Mr.. Isaac Fisher, would
also be there to help entertain them.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. l.. Creager hap
pcnd(?) to be dated for Emmitsburg
on Sunday, and offered Mr.. and Mrs.
Lohr seat in their auto which was
accepted by the aged couple. On
arriving at the home of their son, 1t
was learned that Mr.. Fisher was un-
avoidably detained at home, but that
his brl ther, Mr.. John Lohr and wife
of Hagerstown, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Overholtzer of Fairfield, and Messrs
Calvin and Harry Fox of Mt. St.
Mary's, were waiting to greet them.
The Messrs Fox we understand were
on their way to church but were held
up by Mr.. VIM. Lohr, and they,
knowing good thing, decided to re-
main for the day, and in fact they
were still there ON Monday, at least
for dinner. Those of us who know
Mr.. Fox, know well how he liked
chicken when he belonged to Guar
dian Hose Company.
Dinner was ready at II O'Clock, but
the company being little doubtful
about DR.. and Mrs. Bealle who had
left Liberty in their automobile at 10
o'clock, waited patiently for them to
arrive, but finally decided to wait no
longer. Dinner was served at ~. 30
and everybody bountifully supplied,
or if not, it was not Mrs. William
Iohr's fault. About | O'Clock DR..
and Mrs. Bealle arrived, they having
had some trouble with their auto ON

gan at once to scrub, and by the time
they were through they were hungry,

of such cup, and advise the wide
spread use of private cups. Further
more, it might exercise a protective
supervision over common cups and
provide that they should be of glass
only, and be thoroughly cleaned
daily.
There might be still other ways
in which the state could exercise
most helpful influence in the matter;
but for it to say public cups shall be
banished entirely, as practically
first measure toward the prevention
of contagious disease, especially with
out any effort to first provide pure
water supply, strikes as being both
arbitrary and illogical, and, as we

When George w. Perkins was asked
by New York Times reporter for an
explanation Of the conditions In an
establishment OF which he is one OF
the directors, he made, In part, the
following remarkable reply: This
night work has been rendered neces-
sary largely because of the govern
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations, which has
made 1t impossible for managers OF
large concerns to know whether they
we're on foot or horseback. whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up with increasing demands or not"

more grimly humorous than the fore

is director Is working women all

BOUGHT HIS 0OCkS IN
SCOTLAND.

Governor Wilson Is q FREQ
trader and is 80 recognised BY
the rank and flle Of his party.
The truth IL emphasized a little
by the fact that he buys his
socks In Scotland.
His apparent indifference to
the condition of American
laborers may be due to his abil-
ity to get along without being
obliged 70 eat bread In the sweat
of his brow.
He has been extremely fortu-
nate in this respect. His auto
craoy has been deeply tinged
with aristocraoy during his en-
tire career as an educator and
dabbler In literature.
He has neither by personal ex-
perience or observation 40
quainted himself with the actual
struggles and needs Of the ordi-
nary wage Garner.
During the trying times that
this country was under the
blight Of free trade in 1894, %
and '96, Woodrow Wilson was
enjoying a liberal income that
was in no degree affected by the
deplorable conditions surround
ing the laborers in this country.
Mr.. Wilson Is not to be con-
demned for his good fortune.
On the contrary, we should be
disposed to congratulate him,
but in self interest the less for
tunate should protect themselves
against the enforcement OF his
tariff theories and policy, a trial
of which has been given moro
than once with deplorable effect
