Home From Firemen Conven-
ton

Former Judge John c. Motter, G.. Will
liam Shipley and Henry Lampe returned
from New York where they examined a
number of motor tractors with the object
of selecting one for the use OF the Juniors.
The tractors, with a number of other
motor fire apparatus, were exhibited III
connection with great convention OF fire
chiefs. The convention was attended by
firemen from all over the country and a
few from Europe.
The standing committee Of the JUNIOR
Fire Company has decided to equip the
company with a Christy tractor. This
decision was made few days ago by the
committee. which was appointed to make
the purchase. The cost of the tractor
will be about $1,000.
The engine ordered with the tractor
will be 90 horsepower, and capable OF
pulling the engine at speed OF about IS
miles per hour and guaranteed to climb
any of Frederick hills.
This committee was also authorized TO
purchase a chassis for the hose wagon,
which will cost about s., 500. but this pur-
chase has not been fully decided upon
yet. 1t is expected the purchase will be
made in few days because the COM
mittee wants to have all OF the apparatus
ready in about six weeks.
The type of tractor to be selected will
be a two-wheeled affair which will be at
tached to the front of the fire engine now
owned by the company. Gasoline power
will, of course. be used. After the pur-
chase of the new tractor Frederick's fire
department will be entirely equipped with
motor apparatus, making it perhaps the
most up-to date in the country for cities
of thie size

Fusion Ticket Plan of County
"DryS."

County Chairman H. o. Keene, of the
Prohibition party, has called a county
convention of the party to be held in the
Y. NJ. c. A. building, this city, on Mon
dav, September IS, at which time a full
county ticket will be selected. II ticket
is nominated in this county this year by
the Prohibiionsts, it will be the first
county ticket of the party in decade or
more.
Overlapping the declaration of the in
tention to nominate ticket is the state
ment from Chairman Keene that fusion
ticket will probably be nominated, con-
tanning Prohlbtionsts, Democrats and
Republicans, with the legislative candi-
dates pledged to support a bill in the
Legislature prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor in Frederick county and
in the State.
Rev. Mr.. Keene is pastor of the Metho-
dist Protestant church at Kemptown, and
came to this county from Delaware, where
he was active in the work of the Prohibl-
ton party. While living in Delaware, in
the lower county Rev. Mr. Keene took
part in fight similar to the one he pro-
poses for Frederick county, and the fusion
ticket. declaring for prohibition, was sue
cessGul, and saloons were voted out OF the
county, He stated the convention in
Delaware occupied one full day.

A Blow to Pumpkin Pies.

Pumpkin pies. the kind of pies that
mother used to bake, will be a scarce
article of diet in Frederick county this
year. if one must rely upon the home
grown pumpkins. Probably, not in
many years. has this crop been such a
short one as this year, and only those
who planted the seed in some particu-
larly good spot, will have any pump
klns The usual method of raising
pumpkins is to plant them among the
corn in the fields, and then after the
corn is cut to gather them. Some
farmers often gather several wagon loads.
The failure of the crop this year is
due to the extreme drouth which this
county has suffered. Very few pump
kins are to be found in the corn fields, is
the report this year, the vines being
small and naarly all dried up. j, In some
nearby sections, such as York, Pa, there
is reported to be a good crop, but
pumpkins are something which generally
have not been imported in this section.

to have Frederick county fully represent
ed by display of agricultural products at
the show of Maryland products to be held
in Baltimore in November. For many

because anyone familiar at all with poll
