Chances
to Make an
Error.

When one remembers that in an
ordinary column there are 10000
pieces of type, that there are seven
wrong positions each letter may be
put in, and therefore 10000 chances to
make errors, besides millions of
chances for transposition, he will not
be to critical. In the sentence s'To be
or not to be" by transpositlon alone
it is possible to make 6,256,O22 errors.
So you see the perils that beset a
printer.

AUTU1OBlLE RAISES COST OF
WALKING.

The automobile, not content with
putting the horse out of business, will
on September 1st have another sin to
answer for. The price of shoes is go.
ing up, according to local dealers, and
the 20 per cent advance may be laid
directly to the gasoline gig.
''The cost of leather has been in
creased " per cent said one dealer
today. 1.-THE automobile is one of the
principal causes. 1t is astonishing
how much leather is used in connec-
ton with one touring car. AS the
uses for leather increase, the supply of
raw material is rapidly decreasing.

WANTS TO PAY MORE TAX.

Did you ever hear of a man who
wanted to pay more tax and could
not? Here is case in point according
to message sent out from Washing
ton:
Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester
and Roosevelt champion, cannot in
crease his taxes in the District OF Co
lumbia though he wants to. Mr.. Pin
chot recently decided his mansion had
been underassessed about $4,000 and
proposed to pay more taxes. The as
SCISSORS, however, think their figures
are correct and declined Mr.. Pinchot's
money!

W6o Pays Obe
Income
OAK?

The farmer says he won't, as he
didn't make report. Two years ago
we made this statement that we now
repeat, that was to dissolve the oil
company. Meat was TOD raising in
price to the consumer at that time and
there was not one out of 10 that would
believe the. statement. Now they are
paying 3icents per gallon more for oil
than we did one year ago. 1t requires
no argument to convince them but 1t
is too late. The same people are now
advocating the income tax, who a
short time ago were in favor of des-
troying these big enterprises. At that
time you believed that they were
honest in their opinion and that it was
for your good that the changes should
be made. Now they propose to give
| you another dose still larger, made
from the same material, precribed out
of the same barrel only with faucet
in the other end and different label
on it. The wealth of the world is in
the soil or earth and must come from
the miners or farm products. All other
enterprises are branches; destroying
one branch affects the body. The IN
come tax is taxing a mans ambition
and industry, not his property. All
taxes are so to considerable extent
h,rk of A
pences are added to the selling price of
goods. How about the farmers COM
bining to build creamery. Will they
give the consumer one or two cents
per pound, that will be saved in manu-
featuring and handling the butter;
or will they put it in their pockets
and say. "This is their profits
for brain work used in forming the
combine,so as to be able to manufacture
goods with more profit? Would not
these people take so cents per pound
for their butter if it were not for the
supply and demand? Did not the
Farmers Alliance try to control the
price of products by not allowing more
planted than would be consumed at
good price? What about the night
riders in the southern states destroying
tobacco plants? Who took $1.15 for
potatoes several months ago when the
crop was good? Rockefeller would
not have done that. Better not throw
stones when we live in glass houses.
1t is every farmers duty to use his
influence in every way for the good of
the whole country. When the
politicians come around asking you to
support them, tell them on conditions
only that they pledge themselves to
use all their influence with some
ginger to it to have the income tax
law wiped off the books, several others
repealed and modified, the state and
university expenses reduced, the
county board expenes shortened, and
all along the line demand a reform.
What is the need of people working
three hours and getting pay for six
when they would not be over worked |
if they put in six hours. Farmers, it is
ur to you. The controlling power is
in your hands if you only knew it. |
Will you allow more offices to be
created with short hours and big pay
or will you come out like men and |
say we will not sGand for it?

Christmas AT The Churches.

Beginning on Tuesday evening, Christ
mas festivities began in st. Johns Lu-
theran church. The church was neatly
decorated with small pine trees about
the pulpit and choir loft. The service
rendered was very pretty, the music be-
ing specially catchy and appropriate.
While addressing the school, the pastor
Rev. M. l.. Beard. announced that $l7OO
of the debt resting on the church had
been assumed by various societies of the
congregation.
At Trinity Reformed church Christmas
exercises were held Wednesday morning.
The service rendered was almost the
same as that at the Lutheran church, the
latter having several more pieces of mu-
sic Although the morning was cold, the
sun shone beautifully and large crowd
was present. The front of the church
was banked with pine from amid which
shone forth the electric lights, the power
plant having been run specially for the
occasion. Rev. M. L. Beard and Rev.
Hammersley Of the Lutheran and Meth
odist churches were present and took
part in the service.
Services at the United Brethren church
were held Wednesday evening. The dec
oratons were pretty and the service rem
dered very appropriate. Rev. Holdcraft,
pastor of the congregation addressed the
school and large audience present.
Tonight Christmas services will be at
the Moravian church, and Saturday ev-
ening at Apples church.

ner of the barn; the barn having already
caught fire. Attention was directed to
the cattle, horses and other live stock,
and these were all gotten safely from
the barn. The fire spread rapidly and in
a short time the entire structure was in
blaze. All the feed in the barn, sew
eral hundred barrels of corn, binder and
other machinery was destroyed. The
blaze was plainly seen at Thurmont as

Want Agricultural College.

A very important matter to the people
of Frederick county is now being discuss
ed in the county papers.
Some time ago the Maryland Agricul-
tural College buildings were destroyed
by fire, and now that new buildings will
have to be provided, change of location
is thought advisable by some and Fred
erick county people are now working to
have the college located within the coun-
ty. To this end every man of influence
and means should work with might and
main.
No better land or location can be found
in the State. We understand the county
is in position to sell Montevue Hospital
property; why not make the sale to the
State? An effort is being made to hold
meeting at Frederick on January 4th,
at which time the matter will be discuss
ed. Work hard gentlemen and get this
college in line with other educational in
situations at Frederick.
The Frederick News says:
I'm letter published in The News,
Mr.. l.. F. Kefauver, of Middletown,
makes the suggestion that a meeting,
more or less of public nature, be held
on Saturday, January 4, to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking steps to urge the
removal of the Maryland Agricultural
College from College Park to Frederick
county. Unless some objection is raised
to the proposed gathering it should be
agreed to hold the meeting on this date.
If there is any interest in a movement
to bring the institution to this section, it
can be Judged by the kind of conference
that will be held. Other places are
preparing to advance their claims if they
find that there is much sentiment to re-
move the college. Frederick county offers
an ideal location for an agricultural in
stitution, and efforts on the part of local
citizens would be most iustifiable.
Even if it is found impossible to in
terest the State authorities in the re-
moval of the college to this section, the
movement could we'll be carried on for
the establishment of an Experiment sta
ton. From all standpoints an expert
ment station would be most desirable in
this county, and it is likely that if the
proper steps are taken those having this
department of the work in charge could
be interested in such an undertaking
which would probably result in the start
ing of station in this county at some
future time. The Importance of these
matters demands earnest and careful
consideration, and the citizens of the
county should be alive to their own in
terests.'

Another New House.

They come slow, but just SO they come
and Thurmont keeps growing. This re-
fers to new homes which have and are
being built at this place. The latest con-
tract has been given out by Miss Ada
Grouse for the erection of a six room
bungalow. Miss Grouse recently pur-
chased a lot from Mr.. Lester S. Birely
on Altamont Avenue, and Monday Mr..
G. C. Weddle drove stakes for the foun-
dation.
Mr.. VIM Stoner's house on Carroll
street is under roof and partly lathed and
work can continue on the inside by use
of stoves.
Work on the founda ton of the Reform
ed church parsonage was progressing
nicely until the heavy fall of snow. If
the weather does not get too severe work
will be pushed along rapidly.

Weather To Order.

The weather for Christmas has been
ideal. The snow which fell Monday night
made good sleighing, and the tempera-
ture has remained low enough to keep
the snow from melting, hence there has
been no mud and slush for those who
walk to wade through. The sky has been
clear of clouds and altogether weather
conditions have been such that everybody
could be happy. The temperature this
morning was IA above.
