Accnsers are Gnilty ones.

Bulgarian atrocities in. the recent
war in the East are being vivsdiy re-
called and more plainly revealed as
results OF Bulgaria's own declara-
tons in seeking aid from Amer ca
and other countries in the matter OF
finances. which declarations ascrine
the abtect state of Bulgar-ans to al
legged barbarities committed upon
them by the Greeks. The state
ments have stirred Greeks to refuta-
ton OF the charges and the pre-
sentation of proofs that the Bul-
aarians themselves are really thc
guilty ones. The American press
barring yellow journals seems to be
in accord in the belief that the
Creeks are not guilty as charged
but that their accusers are those who
are guilty Along this line, the phil

one were killed at grade crossings
during the preceding year. The slg-
nificant part of the report is that
nearly half the people killed were
trespassers. ..,.,o,a
that the public generally does not pay
suficient heed to the oft-repeated
warnings to keep OFF the railroad

says: ,.,,u,,

war Arainst HOE Cholera.

Control and eradication of f9g
cholera in this state IS a commendaD3e.
undertaking the state departments %
agriculture now has on and II seeks:
the cooperation of the farmers OF tle
state who raise hogs.
The department has only a meagre
apnroprfation for the control OF dls-
CAGES among domestic animals and II
Il impossibIe to furnish free of cost
hog cholera serum for all persons
anplying for the same. However, the
5ana rtment is to be commended IN
Ito nnrpose to send one of its con-
sultine veterinarians with sufficient
hog cholera serum to Yaccinate hoss
already exposed to an outnreaA
of cholera as well as those in the
neighborhood , on adjoining farms
These consulting animal doctors are
also instructed to advise farmers how
to handle the disease, how to vaccinate
and how to prevent the cholera from
spreading beyond the quarantine linn
its.
Farmers and hog owners every
where are urged to listen to and obey
the suggestions and orders OF the con-
sulting veterinarians of this depart
nent. and in the case of an outbreak
~ hog cholera notify the department
at once either by wire or letter giving
unfortunately the number OF hogs
exposed and the number on adjoining
farms. This information should be
carried by telephone message or tele-
gram, because when there is an out
break of hog cholera it is necessary
that action be taken quickly TO pre-
vent it's spread.
AS Howard e. Williams, commits
sioner of agriculture of the state, says
it is true that great percentage OF
diseases among hogs is cholera bur
farmers should be reasonably sure
of proper diagnosis before they put
the state to the expense necessarily
incurred in making examination.
Another praiseworthy feature OF the
department in handling hog cholera
is the fact that it keeps on hand at all
times serum, which it offers farmers
at a nominal price.

success and Is Price.

Success like every other good thing
must always pay the price. 1hdl
price is constant and earnest WORK
and application and steady course
as we'll success usually is attained
only over a long road. Short cuts
figure but little in its history. An
exchange says on the subject, In
these strenuous days when there is
such tendency to place the emphasis
ON the material side of success IT is
rather easy to consider the thing IT
self and overlook the means by which
il is attained.
The great men of today, what
ever the realm of their greatness, are
great because they were willing to
pay the price. There are too many
neople today who are looking Tor
short cuts to success. The path to
any notable achievement, whether
business or professional, is not easy.
1t never has been. It never will be.
Every house beautiful is situated on
hill Difficulty. the pathway 10 whlch
is lion-guarded.
Genius has been defined as three
quarters drudgery. The definition
contains a great amount OF truth.
But drudgery is SO comparatively

gift Of laboring intensely. continu-

1.-The world has no use for drones,
for idlers. for parasites. Work is the
law of the universe. Work-it is a

in which he sees things in their just

Insurance for Firemen.

The Junior and Independent Steam
Fire Engine companies have not taken
out compensation insurance. Members
of the Junior company believe that the
State Industrial and Accident Commits
sion will not compel them to do SO.
awaiting an opinion from the commits
sion. The United Steam Fire Engine
Company has secured firemen's insur-
ance for it's two paid employees.
Members of the latter company stat
ed that the organization was compell-
ed to take out insurance for its men,
If the commission holds that these
engine companies are required to take
out insurance. two of them may be
liable to fine of $500 to $1,000.
Refused Chauffeur's Policy.
One member of the Independent
company said last evening that an at
tempt had been made to insure its
two men under a chauffeur's policy.
The insurance companies will not is
sue this policy Since then they have
asked the commission for an opinion.
Because the companies were organ
lied for the benefit and protection Of
the residents of the people of Fred
erick, it is advanced that the stand
ing committees should not be requir-
ed to take out insurance under the
new act. Firemens insurance is one
of the highest.
At one time it was thought that the
city would write up the engine COM
pany employees. The city has estab-
lished it's own insurance fund.

BIG BARN DESTROYED.

The new barn of Lewis Putnam,
near Montevue Hospital, together with
wheat, corn and hay, burned yester-
day morning about 8 o'clock. The
loss is about $4,000, partly covered
by insurance. About nine months ago
the barn of Mr.. Putnam was wreck
ed by severe hurricane. The build
ing that burned yesterday morning
was a new structure erected to take
the place of the one wrecked last
March.
The fire companies of Frederick re-
sponded to an alarm. The huge motor
driven engine of the Junior Steam
Fire Engine Company, driven by Dan

Georgianna E. Clifford VS.. Edward w. Gift
ford.
The object of this suit is to procure a
decree for divorce vinculo matrimonii
for the said Georgianna E. Clifford from
the said Edward w. Clifford The Bill in
substance states that the said Georgianna
Clifford was married to the said Edward
w. Clifford at Orange County, Virginia, on
November 4th, 1879, by the Rev. J. P.
Strider Presbyterian Minister of the Cos
pei and they lived together thereafter for q
period of twenty years in Cecil County;
Maryland, and thereafter for a period of
about five years at Chester County, Penn
sylvania, and thereafter for a short period
at Yorklynn, Delaware. That although
the conduct of the said Georgianna Clifford.
toward the said Edward w. Clifford was
kind, afectionate and above reproach, he,
without just cause, and for no reason, ill
treated and neglected her, and deliberately
insulted and abused her and neglected to
provide her with the comforts and necessi-
ties of life with the studied and deliberate
design of producing abandonment, and
that he frequently stated he would no long
er live with her and would obtain d.
vorce from her. That the said Georgianna.
Clifford was finally compelled to leave the
said Edward W. Clifford because of the
treatment aforesaid, on the 14th day Of
February, 1905, and support herself, and
he has failed and refused to support her;
that such abandonment of the said Georgi-
anna E. Clifford by the said Edward w.
Clifford is deliberate and final and said
abandonment and the separation of the
parties has been continued uninterruptedly
for more than three years, and said separa-
ton Is beyond any reasonable expectation
of reconciliation. The Bill further states
that the said Georgianna E. Clifford is a
resident of Frederick County, Maryland,
and that the said Edward w. Clifford is q
resident of the State of Pennsylvania, but
his residence therein is unknown to the
Plaintiff And the Bill further states that
no children have been born of said mar
riage. And the Plaintiff prays that she
may be divorced a vinculo matrimonii
from the said Edward w. Clifford and for
such other relief as her case may'require.
1t is thereupon this fifth day of November,
1914, ordered by the Circuit Court for
Frederick County, sitting in Equity, that
the Plaintiff by causing copy of this or
der to be Inserted in some newspaper pub
lished in Frederick County, Maryland,
once in each four successive weeks before
the 5th day of December, 1914, give notice
to said absent defendant, Edward w. Gift
ford of this object and substance of this
Bill and warning him to appear in this
Court in person or by Solicitor on or be-
fore the 21st day of December, 1914, next,
to show cause if any such he has why
decree ought not to be passed as prayed.

Schools Must Be Neutral.

Biased references to the European
War are tabooed from the schools Of
Frederick county. Strict neutrality is
to be observed by every teacher and
pupil Discussion of the events of the
war are not barred from the school
room, however, if they can be taken
up by the pupils and the teachers
from an unprejudiced standpoint
"Unless the European War can be
discussed in the schoolroom from an
unprecedented standpoint, it were bet
ter the topic was not brought up"
said G. Lloyd Palmer, superintendent
of the schools of Frederick county,
yesterday.
Announcement of opinions as to
who is right and who is wrong in this
struggle merely cause dissension and
disturbance in our schools" continued
the superintendent. Our schools are
made up of children who are des-
pendants of natives of practically ev-
cry country now at war. Naturally
each child believes implicitly that
their fathers native country is right
in this struggle.
For this reason any discussion of
this-confict which voices personal OPP
inions should be eliminated. Children
and teachers have opinions concern
ing this war. That is right. But
they can't be introduced into our
schools without causing disturbing
element, without creating dissatisfac-
ton and without making enemies"

Plague Caused by Flag.

In the year 1902 the Russian city
of odessa was visited by bubonic
plague. This rcged for five months
and killed 5000 people. It's origin
was traced to an Austrian flag which
was hoisted over the grave of an Aus
trian seaman who had died at sea
and had been buried In the cemetery.
After the funeral the flag was carried
in turn by two seamen who afterward
entered various public places, lay
ing the flag down as they stopped to
drink. Shortly afterward both these
men fell i'll and died, and people were
taken Ill in all the houses they had
entered.

Oriuin of Knitting.

Knitting is Scotch invention Of the
fifteenth century, and Scotch knitted
stockings soon found their way to
France. A guild of stocking knitters,
too. was soon formed, with st. Fiacre
as their patron saint. Hand knitting
was not long left without machinery
as a rival, for 1t was as long ago as
1889 that William Lee invented the
knitting frame.
