WHY Buy Red Cross Seals?

Why you should buy Red Cross Christ
mas Seals, may be answered most effect
lively in the words of twelve-year-old
boy in the Duluth (Minn.) schools, who
gave the following as his reason in a
composition on this subject:
"The reason put Red Cross Seals on
my Christmas gifts is because every seal
| use counts one cent toward stamping
out tuberculosis in the city and for the
maintenance of hospitals for that pur-
pose. J he seals are also used to raise
funds to teach people the value of fresh
air. Another reason buy them is be-
cause my father died of tuberculosis and
buy them so that olher little boys and
girls won't lose their father as | did.
Another reason is that if | am ever
threatened with tuberculosis the doctors
will have fund to try to prevent it. y

Savings Rank Closed

The Libertown Savings Bank of Liber-
ty, this county, was closed Friday of las
week by State Bank Commissioner j.
Dukes Downes.
The toial amount of deposits, accord
ing to the last statement made by the
bank in September, is SO, 54J 50, and as
the capital stock of the bank is $25, 900
all subscribed and making the liability
of the stockholders $50. 900, there is no
danger of depositors losing.
The stockholders will be the only losers
and should the banking house and it's fix
lures, valued in the last statement at
81, APO. OS, and outstanding notes provide
sufficient money to pay the depositors,
their loss, if any, will be slight.
At one time the bank held deposits
amounting to $4,000, but owing to a
change in the directorate and cashier, all
but one being non-resdents of the COM
munity, trouble ensued and those who
were patrons of the bank withdrew their
money.

Frederick r. r. Prospecting.

By the reduction of operating expenses
through the medium of the new power
plant of the Frederick and Hagerstown
Power Company the Frederick Railroad
system will be placed on splendid pay
ing basis according to statement by
Mr.. Emory l.. Coblentz, president of the
road
The cost of the present operating ex-
penses, including all expenses with the
exception of the interest on bonds, is Is
per cent of the gross income of the road.
Mr.. Coblentz expressed the belief that
this would be reduced to SIS per cent.
Because of power difficulties the operat-
ing expenses of the road have been
enormous.
Mr.. Coblentz gave out report OF the
gross earnings of the railroad company
and the Frederick Gas and Electric Com
pany for the year ending in June which
shows that the railroad earnings have in
creased $2l $3.50, and that those of the
Gas and Electric have increased $4,000
over the preceding year.
This winter the Frederick Railroad
Company expects to reballast its track
on the Thurmont division, from one end
to the other. With this end in view the
railroad company has just entered into
an agreement with the Catoctin Furnace
Co. for the removal of an immense bank
of Stag or the remains after iron ore has
been smelted, and will use this in rebal-
lasting the tracks. The pile of Stag is
an immense one, which has accumulated
in the many years during the Catoctin
furnace has been operated and it is esti-
mated that 1000 or more carloads of the
Stag will be secured.
At meeting of the directors of the
Frederick Railroad George William Smith
was elected e-president to succeed
the late DR.. Franklin B. Smith.
DR.. Thomas B. Johnson was elected
medical director to be in charge of the
staff of physicians and surgeons of the
road

With the Olympic riders out of the way
the professional and amateur sprint rid
ers ut the velodrome will come into their
own again tomorrow.
The Olympic aspirants have held the
stage the past week, but their little stunt
will pass into history this afternoon.
The program tomorrow contains nine
events, three of them being match races.
Big Fred Grenda, the sprint champion of
Australia, and Pete Drobach, of Boston,
will furnish the star bout of the after
noon. These riders will engage In an
Australian pursuit race of the unlimited
variety, which means that they will ride
until one catches the other. As both
Grenda and Drobacb are great unpaced
and gamesters the race will probably go
a considerable distance and be q fast,
guelling race.
The match between Marcel Dupuy, Carlo
Missori and John Bedell will be run with
Fred West replacing the French rider.
Dupuy, who was caught In the meshes of
the immigration department. was re-
leased from Ellis Island yesterday, after
being held our days, and he is not in
condition to race tomorrow. The sub
stitution of West does not hurt the race;
in fact, 1t really makes 1t a better match
for Missori and Bedell and West are
very evenly matched, and It is a toss as
to who will win. Dupuy would have
been the class of the race and probably
an easy winner.
The motor-paced event tomorrow will
be a dual between Ernie Pye, of Aus

sewed up the game in the fifth inning,
when they got to the Reillys' mound art
tst, tallying five run The Reillys
fought hard all the way but missed by
one lone Fun.
In the second ARRAY the runs came in
punches, the Smiths downing the Jagles
by a II to Z score. The Jagles had what
seemed to be q comfortable lead In the
third inning. but the Smiths made an
uphill fight. forging ahead in the sixth
inning and keeping the lead. After the
third inning the Smith twirler was In
vincible, the losers being retired In one.
