1t has been suggested to Us that a
word he said about grass growing on the
streets of Thurmont.
1t does seem strange that the Com
mssioners insist that all side drains be
kept free from grass and weeds and then
allow from four to six feet of grass and
weeds to grow from the drain out into
the street. Along E. Main, Carroll and
Lombard streets and some other places

ACID IN WATER THE CAUSE OF
BOAT EXPLOSIONS?

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 2.-The pos
sibility of acid in the water of the
Ohio river being responsible for the
explosion of a boiler on the Steam
boat Alice, causing the loss of nine
lives, is being investigated by Cor
oner Samuel c. Jamison. Three
steamboats, have been blown up with

this accident occurred. A series of
tests will be made to determine if
boilers are not weakened by some
thing in the water so that it becomes
dangerous to fire them to the pres
sure allowed by the~law.

REPORT SAYS COOK COUNTY
WASTES 81, OF, 900 A YEAR

WASTES 100000 A YEAR
The annual report issued yesterday
by the Cook County Civil Service
Commission was strong indictment
of the method of appointment to pub
lie offices.
In the report the commission says
Cook county spends 81, 072,000 year
that could be saved if civil service
rules were properly applied.
This represents just about half the
amount now spent. The commission
also finds alarming facts concerning
the manner in which some of the Of
fees are conducted since the Su-
preme Court held the county civil ser
vice act unconstitutional.
The Offices particularly referred to
are those of the county treasurer,
county clerk, sheriff, clerks of the
Circuit, Superior, County, Probate
and Criminal Courts, the states at
torney, board of assessors, board of
review, coroner, recorder and cleo
ton commissioners.
The report accuses the heads Of
these departments of being forced to
place 1.-the positions in their depart
ments at the disposal of the county
central committee of whatever party
they happen to be affiliated with.
1t is said that this condition has
prevailed for the past twenty years,
with the exception of the period ex-
tending from July, 1911, until Feb.
20, 1913, when the civil service law
was knocked out.
The report further says that at
least thirty or these men who had
county jobs handed to them by the
grace of political bosses are also on
the payrolls of the city, state and
park districts.
Accusing several of the appointees
as being "grotesque insists" the re-
port reads: Recently a politically
appointed clerk making out tax bills

Observe Birthday
of Aged President

The seventy-ffth anniversary
of the birthday of President
Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon
church, was observed in Salt
Lake City on the 18th of Novem-
Der by the members of his fam
lily and dignataries of the church
throughout Utah, Idaho and other
states. The anniversary finds
Mr.. Smith strong and active,
says an Associated Press dis
patch.
Only recently he has returned
from a long journey to Chicago
and the east, in the course of
which he presided at the dedica-
ton of serveral churches belong
ing to the sect of which he is
the head.
President Smith was born in
the town of Far West, Missouri,
in 1888. AS a boy he drove an
OK team in the exodus of 1916 to
the Salt Lake valley. After SER
wing a number of years as a mis-
sionary, he gradually rose
through the several Offices of the
the church until he succeeded
Lorenzo Snow in the presidency
in 1901.
Mr.. Smith is the nephew of the
Joseph Smith who founded the
Mormon church, and the cousin
of the Joseph Smith who is the
president of the Missouri-Iowa
branch, which is known as the
Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.

CAUSE FOR THANKS

Before another issue of THE
HERALD Thanksgiving Day will
have come, and with it will come
one of the proudest days in the
history of Snowflake, for on next
Thursday, November 27, 1913,
will be dedicated the New Aca-
DENY, after long struggle and
persistent work on the part of
our citizens, and for this the
community will give it's heartfelt
thanks.
If we remember the conditions,
circumstances, events and Incl
dents of the first Thanksgiving
day, and allow thought to ira
verse even rapidly and super
fcially the path of blessing until
this Thanksgiving day of 1913,
we shall have a faint vision, at
least, of that for which the land
should offer praise. If we dwell
only upon the great benefits
that affect the general welfare,
abundant reason appears, why
we should set a season apart,
assemble in our places of wor-
ship and lay upon the altar our
united offerings of praise. And
this is not alone for abundant
harvests, for commercial pros
perity, for continued peace and
increasing power of our nation;
not alone for good bestowed, but
thanks for evil spared; for fires
of trouble from which we passed
unharmed; for the floods that
threatened but did not over
whelm; for the casting down
that yet did not destroy; for all
calamities endured and overpast.
Surely, if ever land should in
humility bring tribute from null
titudes of grateful hearts, ours
should make this a true Thanks
giving day.
