Business Men After Huge Sign.

Frederick is in the throes of the cleo
trio sign craze. 1t was reported on
Tuesday night from an authoritative
source, that more than half a dozen mer-
chants have made tentative plans for the
purchase and installation of electric
signs of the newest and most catchy de-
signs.
Gaping the entire movement is the
huge electric slogan sign, Live Wire,
Frederick, Of Maryland" which was
designed by Mr.. James d. Enright. No
efforts have been made to secure this
slogan sign for Frederick. The Board
of Trade has endorsed the sign as has
Mayor Fraley and President J. M. Dron-
enburg.
Frederick's slogan sign will cost ap-
Lioximately one thousand dollars. One
of the leading hotels OF the city has Of
fered fifty dollars to the public fund il
the sign is placed on his building. An
other business man has volunteered to
donate about one hundred dollars to the
fund. 1t was estimated recently that
about four hundred or more dollars have
been voluntarily pledged in case some
effort is made to secure the slogan sign
for Frederick

The acorn fell at the edge of a
little humn ock. A day or two la

hummock and lcosened a piece OF
earth from it's edge and it fell
right on the acorn and buried it.
The acorn was quite content to
stay where it was but it wanted to
look through its covering. and be

He'd know that he was wrong.
Did lie ever have, 1 wonder,
A sister just like mine,
Who'd take his skates or take h.s

Or taIgle up his Irvine?
Did he ever chop the kindling,
Or fetch in coal and wood,
Or offer to turn the wringer?
If he. did he was awful good

In winter it's shovel the snow"

But has it's work, you know.
