News From Dayton.
X. A. Stull Arrives Home With
Sisters. Travel Slow.

Several letters were received by per-
sons in Thurmont late last week from
relatives who were in Dayton and West
Carrollton, OHIO, at the time of the great
flood and while not great deal was
written, yet from their contents 1t can
plainly be read that their suffering and
loss has been great.
A letter from West Carrollton, dated
March Both, was received by Mr.. Jos.
Messner, it being from his son-in-law,
W. j. Burke. In part it says: 81 am
writing to you for Effie as she is not able
to write. Guess you have heard of the
awful thing that has happened this part
of Ohio. Many lives have been lost and
Dayton and all towns to CINCINNATI have
have been ruined. We saved our lives,
but lost everything. | was working the
night of the food and was taken in a
boat to where | lived. We took Efiie
and the children out in boat as far as
we could, but the water raised so fast
that we had to stay out two days and
two nights without food or fire. We
were then taken to the Paper Mill where
we were cared for
Another letter dated April I'd, was
received from Mr.. Burk. In this letter
he states that he saw Mr.. Stull and that
he (StulD had delivered a message sent
by Mr. Messner. He also said that their
baby was sick, that they were living in
room without fire, and that their food
was being supplied by the government.
Getting away from the flood district was
then almost impossible.
Mrs. John Smith received letter
from her brother. Mr.. Charles Firor,
who was a resident of West Carrollton,
it being written March Goth. Mr.. Firor
states that 1--WE are all alive, but no
man can tell how bad the flood was. "
He says also, that dob" Hahn, Harry
Barton. Elmer Lidie and SANDY" Hum

Mr.. Kleason Stull of this place who
went to Dayton and West Carrollton to

and Mrs. Chas. Firor, found them safe.
They saved all their household goods by
moving them to the second story.
On Monday afternoon of this week Mr..
Stull and his sisters and brotherinlaw,
Mr.. Chas. Firor, left West Carrolton
for Thurmont, and arrived here Wednes-
day at noon. The only way out of West
Carrollton at that time was by way OF
farm wagons, and progress was slow.
The railroads are also badly damaged

Mr.. Bruce Willhide who went with Mr.
Stull returned home Monday, and reports
that his uncle and cousins, the Messrs
Graham, lost heavily by the water.

The hostess cordially welcomed all, and
gave the house over to the guests, and
soon all were at home and indulging in
the usual party frolics.
At the right hour the perfume of coffee
was waited along, then came the real

Primary Meeting.
Two Meetings Necessary To
Secure Candidates For
Municipal Ticket.

On Tuesday evening of this week a
primary meeting was held in Town Hall
for the purpose of selecting candidates
for Commissioners of Thurmont, these to
be voted for at the annual election which
will be held next Monday afternoon,
April 18th.
The number of voters at this meeting
was small, but Mayor Freeze called the
meeting to order and Mr.. Lester Birely
was elected chairman and Charles M.
Mackley secretary. Nominations for
President of the Board was called for
and Mayor Freeze was nominated. There
being no further nominations for this
office, the nominations closed and nomi-
nations for Commissioners was in order.
A number of names were mentioned,
but Immediately the ida Cline" was
heard. After some time passed four
names were secured; two of the persons
being present and two absent-the latter
not having a chance to say "Ida Cline. y
Before the meeting came to close one
of those present asked that his name be
erased from the list. This was done.
The hour being late, and little hope of
ticket being nominated, the meeting
adjourned until Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday evening the attendance
was much better than on Tuesday even
ing. After the chairman, Mr.. Birely,
called for order and stated the object of
the meeting, motion was made to re-
consider all business of the evening be-
fore, the motion being carried. This
gave chance to nominate for President
of the Board as we'll as Commissioners.
Two names, those of VIM. j. Freeze and
J. Henry Cover, were placed in nomi-
nation and remain on the ticket
Nominations for Commissioners was
called for and they came fast and soon
sight names appeared on the list.
other names were put in nomination and
then the Ida Clines" came along and
,ome of the eight joined in the chorus.
For time it looked as though there
would be no ticket, but someone made
the proposition that he would allow his
name to go on the ticket if all others
nominated would do the same. This finally
was agreed to, the result being as follows:
FOR PRESIDENT OF BOARD.

ADVERTISING FOR THE MAN OF
SMALL CAPITAL

The smaller dealers in any line OF
business sometimes say they cant
afford to advertise. Did they but
realize it, though, they are just the
ones who have peculiar reasons in
their business why they can and must
advertise.
The man with a small capital can
not afford the most expensive loca-
tion. He cannot pay a high price
for the good will of some long-estab-
lished and profitable business
He must start in some less favor
able location, often on some side or
back street, or in some crowded and
cramped quarters.
This situation, however, has dis
tinct advantages of it's own, provided
he knows how to utilize them. His
rentals in the side street or less
favorable location are, of course,
much below those paid by the long
established place of business. They
constitute a smaller charge'on his ex-

POULTRY CULTURE

Intensive Is the key word to
poultry success, No man gets the
greatest returns for time labor, ma
terlal space and money invested
without intensive methods. The
poultryman succeeds as he avoids
wastes.
l. II under the most, favorable
circumstances one man can care for
five thousand chickens and developes
each to its best, then the man who
cares for a less number has to reckon
with the loss OF TIME.
q Ii with labor saving devices
and convenient arrangements a man
natures as many fowls as any two
men, with not additional expense, the
latter suffer loss in LABOR.
=. Ii by an economical use OF ma.
terial a person saves fourth on his
investments, the man who uses more
is handicapped by loss for MATER
IAL.
4. If ten acres can be made to
provide for as many chickens as are
now being cared for upon twenty
acres, other things being equal, there
is loss to be charged to SPACE.
b. II given certain capital you
get by fair means in the course of a
year returns equal to that of the
man who has twice the amount, your
neighbor has to figure loss by his
investment of MONEY.
Economic Factors
There are certain economic fac
tors in the chicken business, which
save time, labor, material, space and
l. Certain localities which pos
sess favorable soil, vegetation, cli-
mate and marketing facilities provide
2. Some poultrymen by their
to the science and arts of
business avoid the mistakes of others.
B., There are breeds and strains
which are more virile healthy, and |
easily cared for than some.
A, A knowledge Of the physical
nature OF the fowl, its tendencies,
needs, weaknesses, and strong points
are all important.
5. Time, labor, material, space,
and money saving methods, devices,
ana houses accomplish more than all
else with successful poultrymen.
The possibility of success with the
largest industries depends chiefly on
their ability to conserve time, labor
space and money. Note
intensive methods in large depart
nent stores. To get the greatest re-
.urns intensive poultry culture is alb
necessary.

superior knowledge of how to meet
the cost of living, and better famili-
arity with what is doing in town.
The essential element to complete
this connection is advertising. Peo-
pie will pass dozen non-advertising
stores to hunt down the remote one
that tells about the things it is do
ing. Don't expect, however, that
simple card telling your firm name,
street, and number, will have the full
effect. You must describe some Of
the things you are selling and tell
the price, and thus give the reader a
chance to judge for himself.
