FOREST FIRES HARM SOIL FER
TILITY.

A definite relation between the
amount of humus, or vegetable mat
ter in the soil, and its crop-producing
power as shown by yields of corn, is
given in figures just issued by the de
partment of agriculture. The depart
ment, therefore, advocates the use of
various methods to introduce the re-
quired humus into the soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country,
and particularly of the south, have
lost and are losing immense amounts
of this source of soil fertility through
forest fires which apparently do little
immediate damage but rob the soil
of accumulations of humus. In many
parts of the south, land is being clear
ed for farming, and where such forest
land has not been burned. there is a

large percentage of vrgrtahi" matter,
which provides considerable fertility,
and good texture. Moreover this
soil has a greater capacity to absorb
and retain moisture, and thus is less
likely to be washed and quilted under
heavy rains. For these reasons, l"av-
ing ont of account the damage to
standing timber, the departments
authorities are agreed that fire should
be rigidIy kept out Of woodlands.

Our New School Building.

1t is to be hoped that the Board Of
School Commissioners will act
promptly on our new school building,
and when they act we hope that they
will take into consideration that this
building and the grounds selected
will have to do for some time to come
for school needs and to that end there
should be no cause for any regrets
after all is finished.
There has been liberal appropra-
ton made; greater in fact than our
necds demand, but IN building and
selecting Il site we hope that it will
DE borne in mind that Thurmont is
a growing community; that the day
is fast approaching when there will
h a tending to the consolidation of
schools at central points for the pur-
pose Of getting better results, and this
might as well be faced nov.
Look to the future and anticipate
Its demands and don't let's get into
the position that we will have to
patch" few years hence.
We are of the decided view that
the present location of,the school is
entirely inadequate for the present or
future needs. We believe that this
will be recognized by the School
Board at first glance.

THURSDAY, MAY ~. 1914.
An Unusual Event.

Considered from the standpoint OF
the very short time in which teachers
and pupils had to prepare for the
School Celebration held in Frederick
on Friday last, it was a most success
iu1 as well as an unusal event, IN
which the school authorities have
reason to be Justly proud.
The parade was one that would
have done credit to old and well
trained organizations. 1t was an in
spring sight to see 50 many OF the
pupils and teachers marching soldier
like in their bearing and many carry
ing their banners or flags or other in
sigma of their various schools or
districts.
The Girls High school of Frederick
made an exceptional showing both
from their numbers and from their
appearance uniform.'
The II. 4 +. Railway was taxed
To its utmost-in fact, was ovrrtaxcd,
because it was unable to get all the
pupils and teachers from Thurmont
and other points on this division in
on time and the cars that carried the
crowds were packed to three and even
four times their normal capacity.
We think these celebrations should
he an annual event as they will slim
ulate greater interest in school mat
tiers and promote better understand
ing between the different sections of
our county. The exhibit of the work
OF the schools at the Armory was Il
revelation as to what the school child
rem are accomplishing. Let the work
50 well begun, be- continued. Fred
erick county need not be ashamed of
her schools. They will bear conpar-
ison with any in the state.

Dogs Poisoned.

During the past ten days two dogs have
been found dead on the streets, both
having the appearance of being poisoned.
The first dog to succumb was found on
f. Main street and belonged to Mr.. Geo.
H. Bussard, and the other a big collie
was found on Walnut street near Etzler 5
mill. Some times these bats are set for
a certain dog, but generally some other
dog gets caught.
