LOST ON DESERT

Joe Kennison came in last night
at ten o'clock with two passengers
whom he found wandering at large
off the road twelve miles from
Tonopah. Each man carried a
basket and bundle of clothing, but
neither had an idea Of where they
were Or how to find a place to rest

Auto Fever Increasing

Harry A Roe. State Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles, reports that ISIS more
automobile licenses have been issued up
to date than there was up to this time
last year. In other words. licenses have
been issued for $3.50 automobiles so far
this year, while for the corresponding
three months for 1918 the figures were
ITS. Not only has the number OF auto
mobiles increased considerably, but mo
torcyces are also on the increase, I. ass
licenses having been issued this year for
them as against 997 last year for the
same period of time.
The total number OF licenses issued in
I9II was $500; IN 1917, 10, 500; in 1913,
$4,000, AID thus far In 1914, $3.50
That the popularity of the automobile
has increased with rapid strides since
the beginning OF the good roads through
our the State is shown by the fact that
nearly 1000 more licenses were granted
IN the last slx~monhs than there were in
the whole 2 months of 1911 1t is prob
able that before the year is ended there
will have been considerable more than
twice as many issued than were issued
three years ago.

New Officers in Charge.

Capt. and Mrs. s. D. Kelly, accompain-

Frederick and have taken full charge Of
the work of The American Rescue
Workers formerly American Salvation
Army. They found themselves to be
without any quarters or any other thing
necessary to the work i'll which they
were engaged when they reached here.
However, the Capt. and his wife soon
found out where their practical friends
were located and in short space of time
things began to take on a more pleasing
appearance
An Emergency Home for destitute
women and children has been opened at
the new quarters, No. 246 East Seventh
street. 1t is the desire Of the Captain
and his assistants, that before long, the
people of Frederick will realize they have
in their midst an organization, of which
they may justly be proud Any one who
cares for further information OF the work
may call upon the captain at his resi-
dence or he will call and visit the party
interested. Furniture for furnishing the
Emergency is needed greatly and the
highest appreciation will be extended for
assistance.

New Bait Fish Law.

Fisherman of Frederick county learned
with much interest of the final passage
OF the Bussard Bait Fish Law. which
IS designed TO protect the streams of
this county from being depleted of the
supply OF scale bat. mad toms and stony
cats, and while the bill created more or
less amusement for the solons as it went
through the various stages before be-
coming a law. because of the peculiar
terms anglers of this section are reioic-
ing that the legislation has been secured
and arc hoping that the law will be com.
piled with by all.
Tine bill prohibits the catching and
selling OF catfish (also known as mad
toms) out side of Frederick county
There was a time when this bait was
very plentiful in this county, and fisher
men have been known to catch them by
the thousands. Streams that were once
lined with this splennid bait are
said to be without them today, so that
It is not worth the time and labor of the
fishermen to visit these streams in search
Of them.

Arbor Day.

Armor Day was first observed in this
country by the school children of West
ern State more than forty years ago.
From a small beginning in treeless
State the idea spread, until now it is a
day regularly set apart each spring not
alone in nearly all of the States, but in
many foreign countries as well.
The Governor has designated Friday,
April grid, as Armor Day in Maryland.
and much good can be accomplished in
the right direction, and a valuable lesson
conveyed to the children in the public
schools, where it is properly observed.
The State Board of Forestry recon-
mends the planting Of useful trees on that
day. The shade and protection afforded
by few well-placed trees or belt of trees
adds much to the attractiveness of the
schoolyard, and comfort in all seasons to
the school itself Trees planted on that
day should not be forgotten when the ex-
ercises are over, and allowed to die
through neglect, for given careful atten-
ton they serve as object lessons IN use
fitness, and the children will watch their
growth from year to year with interest
and satisfaction.
