PICTURE POSTCARDS

FIS OhE -FOS SHhDS
Picture postcards were once de-
nOunced as a fad, bordering on a
mental disease. But if shooting
'pics" is a mental disease, let's all
yell for brainstorm life-boats.
Picture postcards have slOUghed
the art of letter-writing to a great
extent. Once upon a time a traveller
betook himself to some quiet cor
ner where the hotel loafers and other
local rubber-plants couldn't crane
over his shoulder. Then he would
sharpen a goose-quin. With a barrel
of ink and a ream of linen, he would
write lengthy epistles home" in a
fine, Spencerian hand, with fancy eff
fects in shading, which must have
been more firing than batting flies
with an indian-club.
Then came the sealing wax. A
whole day shot to splinters on mere
letters!
But in this hasty age the tourist
simply swarms on a postcard pagoda
and yells breathlessly:
neutrality-suspicious.
He snatches them off the rack
without regard to their beauty or ap-
propriateness. Hastily, like John D.
Rockefeller endorsing S1,0O0,OOO
worth of checks between gulps of
hair oil, our tourist proceeds to
scrawl the addresses Of the dear ones
thereon.
With loving care he sends the gen
eral view of a local brewery to his
uncle, a Sunday school superintend-
ent, and to a cultured cousin he for
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-26

wards a picture Of the interior Of a
glue factory, remarking underneath,
THE view is very beautiful from
here" To his f1ancee he rushes a
funny picture of man beating his
spouse.
Having addressed the cards &C
cording to typewriter list, he slams
the stamps upside down. on any old
corner. The whole he hurls into a
maiIbox, and then he sinks back on
a bench with a vast sigh of relief.
His duty is done.
His worries are over and now he
can go out and enjoy himself like
regular guy.
"The First Postcard" Is the title
Of a sobbing domestic scene that's
played somewhere every day. That's
when a travelling man sends his wife
a postcard for the first time in their
honeyed existence. It shows that he
no longer cares to write his six-chap-
ter love letters, full of burning SEN
timent which singes the postman's
fingers and a "snooky-ookums" post
script and a row. of pen-and-ink
Kisses" which look like barb-wire
fence. ....-
Alas, the "frst postcard" tells the
tale. -------,
But, then, that's the brute MAIL
all over, isn't it? 49,
Johnny, you're a naughty boy!
You can just go to bed without any
support well, mother, what about
that medicine I've got to. take after
meals?"

Installing Big Pump,

The Union Bridge Water Company is
now engaged in installing the big pump
and engine in the annex to the pump
house which was finished in March. The
delay in the work was caused first by the
sickness of the contractor, F. A. Myers,
of Westminster, and later by the disas-
trous floods in the west which prevented
the pumping outfit from arriving on
time. The pump is big one, its capacity
being from $4,000 to 10000 gallons of
water per hour. To move this large vol
ume of water gas engine of 30-horse
power will be used
The old pump which this one will re-
place has a capacity of 5000 gallons per
hour The old outfit will be kept in COM
plete order for any emergencies that may
arise.
The mains leading to the four wells
now in use have all been opened and new
ones dug. new and inch pipe will re-
place the old. The boring of another
well has been commenced by Mr.. Shoe
maker, of Taneytown, which the COM
pany hopes will give sufficient quantity
of water for all present requirements.
When the improvements now being
made are completed the Water Company
will have a plant that it can justly be
proud of

Farm Brings S276 an Acre.

Jacob z. Fisher, auctioneer, sold at
public sale in front of the Court House
at Hagerstown for ADMINISTRATORS of
Mary Motter, deceased. the farm form
erly owned by the late Isaac Motter,
Williamsport and Greencastle turnpikes,
of one hundred acres and valuable i'm

chased by Alexander Armstrong, Jr., for
$276 per acre. 1t is said that he bought
the property for another party.
There is only small frame tenant
house on the land purchased. The heirs
reserved the large brick dwelling and an
acre of valuable land. This put the value
on the land exclusively. The reserved
portion is valued at about $4,000.
Nothing is to be given out yet as to
the development Mr.. Armstrong says
he has not yet made up his mind what is
to be DONE The impression is that streets
will be laid out and addition to Williams
port prepared.

TOWN TAXES.

We have been celebrating for some
time whether or not we should call at
tention to the fact that the town author
tiles have never taxed stocks of corpora
tons. They have never heretofore done
so, and when the new assessment was
ordered the question was asked whether
or not stocks were going to be taxed and
| it was answered in the negative. That
is so far as the assessors were concern
ed, they said that they were not author
lied to list either stocks or bonds.
So far as the assessors listing stocks
of corporations held by residents of the
town, we think this was entirely proper
that the assessors should not list the same
for they would be entirely unable to
place proper valuation on it.
The method pursued by the State,
County and Municipalities (other than
Thurmont) is that the State Tax Com
missioner requires a report from the
Corporation in form which is provided
and upon the earning capacity OF this
stock, its dividends paid together with a
report of the last sale price is fixed
and then the tax is levied on this basis
so fixed by the State Tax Commissioner.
The question is, why does not Thur
mont collect taxes from this source? If
they do not tax this stock held by resi-
dents of the town, Is it fair to the other
tax payers who do not own stock, but
have to pay on all other classes of pro-
perty? We may be met with the question,
will this produce any revenue, and if so
how much?
From information had, there is at least
$50, 900 worth of stocks held by residents
of this town which does not pay a dollar
tax to the Corporation. This stock tax
is levied against the Corporation and the
Corporation pays this tax direct to the
town and does not affect the stakeholder
except where, perchance the stock tax is
heavier in one place than in another,
then the tax is apportioned by the COM
panies among it's stockholders equitably
when dividends are paid
Emmitsburg collects about $6O.OO per
year which at 80 cent rate is tax on
$50, 900 worth of property. $50, 600 worth
of stock will produce for Thurmont $3.50.
Can the town afford to donate this to
the Corporations?
If Frederick, Middletown and Emmits-
burg derives revenue from this source it
is our opinion that Thurmont should also,
and it may not be necessary for US to
call attention to this matter again, but
we take this occasion to say that if the
matter of collecting this tax is left 60 by
default, we shall deem it our duty to
analyze the matter in detail when the
next annual statement is made, when we
shall be prepared to give the list of Cor
porations that should pay this tax with
the amount of stock held by residents of
the town

Arrested For Racing.
Three Given Hearing Monday
Before Justice Black.

AS will be recalled by many, several
months ago a number of young men OF
Creagerstown and Rocky Ridge vicinity
came to Thurmont one Sunday evening
and engaged in racing on the State Road
south of town.
The affair was witnessed by large
number of people; some enjoyed the
sport and others thought it very wrong.
The matter was spoken of for several
days after which nothing was heard Of
the race until Monday morning last,
when the principals in the event came to
town early to appear before Justice of
the Peace, e. E. Black, to answer to the
charge of disturbing the peace on Sun
day racing.
AS we learn the matter had been re-
ported to States Attorney Lewis and it
was he who prosecuted the boys.
A large number of witnesses were
summoned and on hand but no testimony
was taken, the boys pleading guilty.
Justice Black fined each $500 and thus
the case ended The three young men
fined were Eddie Krise, Grant Long and
Morris Barrick.
The charge of cruelty to animals was
also preferred against Mr.. Krise, and on
this charge he is asked to appear before
the Grand Jury.
Warrants are also out for several young
men of this vicinity who it is claimed
participated in the sport on that Sunday
evening.
Other young men are liable to appear
before an officer of the law for disturb
ing the peace. Last Sunday night be-
tween eleven and twelve O'Clock there
was shouting and shooting enough for a
18th of July celebration. This occurs
when the boys leave town after spend
ing the evening with their sweethearts,
.heir thoughts evidently being more of
shooting, shouting and racing than of
sove.
