Minimum Charge Made 800

The Frederick Daily News announces
that 1.-THE Frederick Gas and Electric
Company, which furnishes electric cur
rent for residence lighting at Braddock
and Middletown, has made the minimum
charge for both places one dollar per
month, effective August LIST. Heretofore
the minimum charge at Braddock was
81 per month and at Middletown $3.50"
Considering the prices paid for current
by our neighbors, the people of Thur
mont can certainly feel proud of the fact
that the minimum price for current fur
nished by the town is but so cents per
month. More of our citizens should be
using the current.

New State Road.

A State Roads bill was recently passed
and signed by the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania and one of the roads to be built is
what is known as the Emmitsburg road
or the road le-ding from Gettysburg to
Emmitsburg.
To the hundreds of tourists travelling
in automobiles this will be good news.
The road leads from Gettysburg and the
famous battlefield south to the Pennsyl-
vania State line within about mile of
Emmitsburg, the terminus of the State
Road from that place to Frederick. 1t
is now up to the Maryland State Roads
Commission to build from the Pennsyl-
vania State line to Emmitsburg, and
thus finish the link of good road between
the historic towns of Frederick and Get
tysburg. This link can not be finished
too quickly.

Winebrenner Reunion.
Presence of Dog Obnoxious To


Policeman. Arrests Two.
The fourth annual reunion of the Wine
brenner families of Thurmont, Waynes-
boro and Gettysburg was held at Pen
Mar last Sunday, and everybody was
having delightful time until police
man, who was evidently looking for
notoriety, spied pet bulldog by the side
of daughter of Mr.. VIM. Winebrenner
and her friend, Mr.. Bannister.
The policeman wished the dog taken
off the Pen-Mar grounds, and after
few words with Bannister grabbed him
and hustled him off toward the guard
house. The young lady screamed and
this attracted the attention of her father.
Mr.. Winebrenner hurried to where the
policeman had his victim and offered to
pay fine for the dog and also for Mr..
Bannister if demanded. All parties were
now at the guard house. The policeman
listened not to entreaties made by Wine
brenner for the release of Bannister, but
slapped him a blow over the face and
threw both men in the prison. Disinter-
ested parties from Thurmont witnessed
the affair and state the officer acted ex-
tremely rude.
The men were kept prisoners until five
o'clock, when Sheriff Snively, of Smiths
burg, arrived and accepted bail for the
appearance of the men before Smiths
burg magistrate Monday afternoon.
The affair spoiled the pleasure OF the
reunion to a great extent. Present at
the reunion were Mrs. Annie Winebren-
ner, the head of the family, Mr.. and Mrs.
George l.. Winebrenner and two daugh-
tiers and Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Eigenbrode
and two sons and two daughters, Of
Thurmont; Mr.. and Mrs. Doctor Zentz,
of Waynesboro; Mr.. and Mrs. William
Winebrenner, son and two daughters. of
Highfield; Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Wine
brenner and two children, Mr.. and Mrs.

Methodists Seek To Solve
Rural Church Problem. Big
Rally Planned Sept. 8, 10, IL.

Rally Planned Sept. 8, 10, II,
The first Methodist preacher, Robert
Strawbridge, preached in the log meet
ing house on Sans Creek in 1865. Today
one person out of every four in America
is a Methodist either by confession or
preference. Simplicity, sincerity and
capacity to adopt itself to circumstances
is largely the explanation of this growth.
The rural church should be the social
and religious center of the community
which it serves. A church should do more
than conduct Sunday school, a preach
ing service, and an occasional revival;
vital as these things are there are other
things important. Societies should be
organized, especially among the young
people, for social, intellectual and spirit
ual purposes; lectures, festivals and other
entertainments should be given. As far
as possible every one who needs help of
any kind should be given it whether he
lives at home or far away. Religion is
not series of "dont's", but life of
happy, normal, profitable activity and
service in the vineyard of the world.
"Heaven used to be an upper fiat,
With credo on the front door mat,
In which the saints serenely sat
Each with halo for hat
What Heaven is now, Heaven only knows,
But Earth is run as Heaven was:
Some live like Heaven and idly shirk,
Some live like He'll and do the work.
Is this profanity? Good sooth,
| wish it were, it's worse, it's truth,
Heavens an effect and not a cause,
And subject to eternal laws.
So to make Heaven of higher worth,
Come on, let's make better Earth"
A meeting of Methodist ministers and
lavmen held recently at New Windsor
made plans for country church cam
paign. A rally service will be held SIM
ultaneously on the 9th, 10th, and 18th of
September in all the Methodist churches
of Frederick and Carroll counties. The
speakers will be well known and eloquent
men. ard the topics will be finance, mis-
sionary work, social service and evangel-
ism. The object of these services will
be to inspire and enable churches to re-
late themselves to the community in such
fashion as to accomplish greater and
more effective work.

Dear Sir
! had occasion recently to review
in part the progress of insurance
since I nave been Insurance Com

was struck with the fact that,
when l became Insurance Commits
sioner, the Southeastern Life had
total assets of about $4,000. 1t
has now assets of abort S3sO,000,
practically increasing 200 per cent.
in four years.
When / realize that all OF these
assets are invested in South Caro-
lima securities and that every dollar
you spend for officers salaries and
expenses is spent in South Carolina,
/ can but realize the excellent work
you are doing in South Carolina in
keeping this money in the State
which would otherwise 20 beyond
it's borders, part of it never to re-
turn. The people of South Caro-
lima should appreciate this fact.
Very truly,

PeddIe,a claim to Fnme.

Peddie Institute is very proud of
the fact that Acting Governor Leon
Taylor was once representative of
the Blue and Gold on the football
field. Taylor was a power in the
Peddie lineup of ten years ago. The
governor played In the back field.
Recently the acting executive of the
State addressed the Peddie gridiron
representatives, since which occasion
the Peddie team has not lost game.
Peddie's 81 to defeat of East Or
ange has created considerable sensa-
ton in local scholastic circles, and
there are many that begin to doubt
whether or not Lawrenceville would
have gotten away with the 10 to vic
tory over the Blue and Gold had the
gridiron been In any sort of condition.
The day that Peddie grappled with
the Hickey School was the date of
Princeton's defeat at the hands of
Dartmouth, and an opinion has ex-
listed ever since that had the weather
been otherwise the score of the game
would have been different. A 81 to 0
defeat for the gridiron warriors of
East Orange is somewhat startling.
Hitherto this fall East Orange has
been rated higher than any of the
high school teams hereabouts. Bar
ringer was forecasted for a defeat in
the annual Thanksgiving Day battle,
and the Red and Blue was touted as
being in line for the State champion
ship, as the to 8 defeat suffered at
the hands of Princeton Prep was any
thing but decisive.
