January. February, MARCH!

Three months gone and nothing done that is this month bears any resemblance at all to last
 Always popular subject, the wealth CT has been greater topic than ever for discussion during the past few weeks. It has even eciipsed the Roose- welt boom for president.
 Nobody can remember such Feb ruary since 1884 and after thinking the matter over they say that the Feb ruary just passed has it eclipsed by several paces. February, 1884, brought us record breaking snow measuring 26 inches on the level, but it did not drift as the one last week. At nc time in the past has traffic been so thorough ly demoralized as twas in this country last week. It would push the average February up north to cope with it in that respect. The only redeemlng features of last weeks blizzard was that it was accompanied by only a modrate drop in temperature, falling little below the freezing point at any time.
 If the old claim that good crop year follows a "hard" winter, next season ought to be cracker-jack. But one thing sure, farmers are going to have to move on double-quick when good weather does come. There hasn't been half dozen blow days for anybody since last October, and where the land is the least bit inclined to be wet, there hasn't been one. It is safe to say that the farmers have less work done now than they have ever had at this time of the year.
 The spring season is calc lated to be disagreeable. March is often worse month for outdoor labor that January or February. Then you know the old saying (which is about as reliable a prognostication as we can geD that thunder in February means ice in May
 But what's the use. The curcum- stances that often lend Encouragement frequently work out for the best and no sensible person ever crosses bridge till he gets to 1t. Just make the best of the situation possible. Get ready to tumble things endways when op- portunty is afforded.
 One thing sure, there is need for little fear of a drought There is enough water in the earth now to keep things moist until summer is well advanced.

Improve the Street to the Depot.


 The question of the improvement of the street leading from town to the depot has zen forcefully put before our people during the past few weeks. Part of the time it has been almost impossible to haul any sort of load with four horse team ~-
 Quite number Of our business men have voluntarily offered to subscribe to fund for this purpose and now, while the matter is so fresh in mind, would be an excellent time to form ulate the movement, so when suitable weather comes the work can be done. We know of somewhere near forty loads of gravel, the hauling of which which will be donated and we believe it would be no trouble to make it a hundred Villines Bros. propose to start it with twenty.
 Some sort of public meeting and a discussion of the most practicable route, etc., would not be out of place.
 Our people should and we beleive do appreciate the fact that the condition of this street is something more than an eye sore to the town.
 Improvement on the route travelled to the depot is proposition to which that every property owner in the town could well afford to contribute. Let us get busy on this matter.

SINGING CLASS CLOSES
SEASON.

After most successful, and we believe
profitable, course of instruction under
direction of Prof. Geo. Edw. Smith, OF
Frederick, the Thurmont Singing Class
closed the season by giving a concert IN
Town Hall, Friday evening of last week.
1t was through the efforts Of Rev. M.
l.. Beard and DR.. E. C. Kefauver that
the class was organized, and to these
gentlemen the members of the class
should be grateful for the organization
and for having so competent an instruct
or at its head.
From the beginning much interest was
manifested in the work by the young
people of the town and community, the
books showing a membership of lis, and
but once did the attendance fall below 60.
On Friday evening 70 persons were on
the stage and took part in the twenty
choruses. Solos were sung by Prof.
Smith and Mrs. H. D. Beachley, a trio
by Mrs. Eta Damuth Martin, Mrs. H
D. Beachley and Prof. Smith, and a
quartette by the three persons last named
and Mr.. Jas. H. Firor.
From dues received each evening the
expenses were paid and sufficient money
accumulated to pay for special music,
Hall rent two evenings. give the sections
of four churches cash donation and then
pay for ice cream and cake for each MEM
Der of the class and his or her guest.
1t is to be hoped that the members Of
this class will not stop singing now that
the class has disbanded. There is plenty
of church choirs in town in need oi sing.
ers, men especially, and all that is neces-
sary to become member is to show
willingness to sing and attend choir re-
hearsals. One cannot sing without learn
ing and you cannot learn without apply

BIG TREE FORESTS.

The Forest Service is raising sever
al acres of big tree seedlings on the
Tahoe National Forest in California
at more northcrly point than any
natural big tree grove. While the
giant sequoias are found in the for
ests of the Sicrras at various points
throughout total range of some 26(
miles, in the northern two-thirds OF
this range there is practically nc
natural reproduction. 1t has consc-
quently been a question whether the
species would not practically disap-
pear from this region when the pres
ent mature trees die. -
The most northern existing grove
Of big trees is on the Tahoe Forest,
but about "a miles southeast of the
site selected fer planting. This site
is on "A moist fiat not far from Neva-
da City, and is about 200 feet above
sea level. The first seeding was done
in the fall of 1910, with very sue
crsSful results, and last fall an addi-
tional area was seeded.
The method used in planting the
seed was that known to foresters as
the seed spot method" Spots
about 6 feet apart each way were pre-
pared by pulverizing the earth with
a garden hoe. Seeds were then drop
ped ON these spots and lightly press
ed in the soil with the foot. The
furnishing condition of the young
seedlings gives good reason to expect
a future growth of big trees at this
point. With protection of forrst,
from fire there seems to be- no reason
why the big trees should disappear.
