Reisinger's 5-and-1Oc Store Will
Open April FL.
CONE AND GET Your SOUVENIR.

At last we are able to open our 5-and-l0-
cent store and we call upon every lady in
the town to visit our store on either of the
first three days of the week and receive
souvenir, those living in the county can
get theirs on any day of the coming week.
We've been told by one Of the largest
wholesale houses catering to the 5-and-l0-
cent stores that it is impossible to conduct
a strictly 5-and10-cent store successfully
in a town of less than $500 inhabitants
that it is absolutely necessary in order to
get enough volume of business to make 1t
pay in smaller town to add some higher
priced Goods AS we don't claim to know
it ALL we thought it best to follow this adj
vice and to gradually add such higher
priced goods as you demand, always, how
ever, giving better value than, as a rule,
you can get elsewhere in fact, such values
as you expect in a 5-and-l0-cent store.
While we have quite large assortment of
the usual 5-and-l0-cent goods. yet pru-
dence demands that we 60 slowly, feel our
way. We, therefore, hope that you will be
patient and considerable if we are not able
at once to supply all your wants. for you
can rest assured that we are only too anx-
ious to carry as complete line as you can
find elsewhere if the patronage justifies it,
as we have several hundred feet of ground
to expand in if necessary.
Although the profits in this line of goods
is obviously small, yet. as an experiment,
we will issue checks with every cash pur-
chase, they being redeemable, however, at
only half of the value of the checks in the
other departments. Your dealing with us as
much as you can will be of mutual interest,
for the more patronage we receive from
you the sooner we will be enabled to in
crease our assortments and to give you
more value for your money. We ask for
your patronage from purely cold-blooded-
business standpoint only, that of getting
no less, if not more, from us for your money
than you can get elsewhere.
In issuing these checks, we look upon
everyone of our customers as mutual
friend and partner in the business, and if
we can get you in the habit of thinking of
and patronizing our store as your store.
telling us of our faults and boosting us to
your friends, if you think we deserve it, it
is not going to be very long before "our"
store will be a paying proposition to all
of us.
Remember the date and call on us, even
if you don't wish to buy anything We
will appreciate the call just the same.

Ringing Circus.
GREAT SPECTACLE Or Joan Or ARC" ADDED
To THEIR SHOW

Ringing Brothers Circus and newly
added 100000 spectacle of Joan of
Arc" will exhibit in Washington, d. c., on
April 28th and Goth, 1918.
The spectacle In itself is an attraction
that should take thousands Of visitors
from the surrounding country 1t is be-
yond question the greatest production of
its kind ever seen in America.
The worlds most skillful scenic artists,
costumers, prOperty-makers. chorus direc-
tors and stage managers were engaged to
mount the production. A stage bigger
than a hundred ordinary theatres was
built and made portable so that II can be
conveyed from town TO town and erected
each morning in the main tent. Thus the
circus propriet0rs have made ii possible for
those who live in contributOry towns as
well as in the large cities to see this mag
nificent wordless play with its cast Of 1900
characters, ballet Of 800 dancing girls,
grand opera chorus Of 400 voices. 900
horses and a train load of special scenery,
costumes. properties and mechanical de-
vices for producing such stage effects as
thunder, lightning, storms, fires and the
sound Of battle.
In the old market place of Rouen, France,
there now stands monument by which the
French Of today have sought to redeem
their part in the execution Of Joan of Arc,
who on May 80, 1881, was burned to death
on the false charge Of heresy after having
delivered her country from the English and
having restored the crown to Charles VII.
History records but the meager facts Of
this strange heroine Of eighteen years, who
led the armies Of France victorious through
English invasion. and then. deserted by
all. even the indOlent monarch whom she
preserved, died by the cruelest torture
known with the name Of the master upon
her lips Unsung in poetry, the name Of
this simple peasant girl has come down
through the ages to be revered as that Of
a saint, and whose wonderful powers and
whose bravery are verify believed to have
been OF divine inspiration.
On the triumphant Incidents the victo-
rious engagements, the final defeat Of the
English armies, and the coronation Of
Charles VII, all achieved by the frail Maid
Of Orleans. has been founded the inspiring
spectacle which gives Ringing Brothers
circus new Significance and makes an
attraction such as the world in searching
for amusement has never before found.
The regular circus program Is more than
ever attractive. Its company Of 375 for
eign artists. Its double menagerie and its
new street parade will prove great sur
prise to those who attend from this county.
The event Is one that should not be missed

County Medical Society.

Inc annual meeting of the County Medi-
cal Society was held Wednesday afternoon
at d. Billiards sanitarium here, DR.. Hen
derson' Of this place, presiding. DR.. John
L. Lewis, of Bethesda, was at his post as
secretary.
Dr. G. H. Nouvse, of Jamestown, was
elected president of the society for the en-
suing year, after which it had the benefit
OF addresses by DR.. John S. Fulton, of Bal
tlmore, Secretary of the State Board of
Health. and DR.. B. W. Goldsborough, of
Cambridge, member of the State Exam
lining Board, on THE Necessity for Trained
Sanitarians to Act as Local County Health
Officers"
DIR, S. B. Muncaster read a paper and
exhibited specimen of tumor of the eve
of rare Inflammation.
DIR. Butler. of Washington, showed ton
sill that had been removed from patient
and said to be one of the largest on record
in this vicinity.
Dr. Bird, Of Sandy Spring, reported sew
eral similar cases that had been under his
care.
Inc deplorable state of idleness of the
Weli-equipped Starmont Sanitarium, near
washington Grove. came up for discussion,
especially in regard to the number of in
digent consumptive patients in the county
that need treatment and the fact that the
owners OF the property are holding out al
most nominal inducements to anyone or
to any society that will take hold of the
sanitarium and strive to relieve those suf-
ferine from this dreadful scourge. The re-
suit OF the discussion seemed to be the
query as to where to find the kind angel
that might furnish the necessary funds to
maintain the sanitarium.
Among other physicians attending were
Doctors Anderson, Linthicum and Maunar
of Rockville, DR.. Chapel, of Tenleytown,

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
An Offer or A Gold Medal For Best
Composition.

A gold medal to the school boy or girl
between the ages of 10 and Is who writes
the best composition, not to exceed 800
words, on the repair and maintenance of
earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page. Director, Office of Public
Roads, United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. C. All compost
tons must Re submitted to Mr. Page be-
fore May IS. 1918, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the compost
tons can be graded. The composition may
be based on knowledge gained from books
or other sources, but no quotations should
be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation Of the
country. it is Mr.. Pages belief that ienor-
ance on the subject Of repair and mainte-
nance Of roads is as much the cause Of
their bad condition as any other one fac
tor. II is expected that the competition
will bring about better understanding Of
the subject of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
trcts have experienced the disadvantages
of roads made impossible through lack
Of proper maintenance and ii is expected
that their interest in the competition will
stimulate greater interest among the par
ents. Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper education
and have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side Of rural patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mentioned,
attending a public school, may compete.
Only one side Of the paper must be writ
ten on each page numbered the name,
1 age, and address Of the writer. and the
name and location Of the school which he
or she is attending must be plainly writ
ten at the top Of the first page. The an
nouncement Of the competition has been
sent to the superintendents Of schools In
the rural districts No further information
can be obtained from the Office Of Public
Roads. This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and oil children will
thus start on basis Of equality.

Throwing Money Away.
A DAILY SCENE In ROCKVILLE.

1t is hard to believe, but. nevertheless.
a fact, that there are people in Rockville
that would sooner throw money away than
keep it, even when placed in their hands
without any effort at all on their part, and
most of them are at the same time be-
moaning hard times. Not every one can
open savings account at the bank, the
most of us lead sort of -to-mouth
existence and are compelled to spend prac-
tically every cent we earn. Yet. If you
are able to save 500 year the banks
will only pay you 8 per cent. on it-three
dollars-but you never even dream of
throwing that away. Now. for every 500 a
year you spend at Reisingers he will give
you cheerfully per cent, or IS, back in
merchandise, which ought to prove that il
pays you better to spend your money with
him than to deposit it in bank. Moral
Deal at Reisinger's all you can, and don't
throw your checks away.
