H|KERS GET GOOD VIEW
OF BLUE RIDGE COUNTRY
Visit Bears Den and Lookout Tower.
Many Have Stroll by
Moonlight.

One hundred and fifty three strong, the
wanderlusters Of Washington yesterday
amb1ed about in the vicinity Of Blue
mont, Va. under the leadership Of John
0. Lewis. The weather was excellent,
and the outing was declared to have
been the most enjoyable yet taken by
the mixers.
The party left Georgetown at o'clock
in the morning and reached Bluemont
about noon. The trip was one of the
longest yet made. as well as one of the
most arduous. On this account no night
march is planned, but one is to be held
Sunday.
Trip Described by Participant.
Walter w. Paige, one of those who
made the trip yesterday, described it
today. Reaching Blucmont the hikers
Immediately started for Bears Den,"
said Mr.. Paige. although many could
hardly wait for dinner The den was
reached about 1870. and here dinner was
spread upon the rocks From the din
ing ground the broad, fertile plains be-
low and the sparkling Shenandoah river
could be seen. The scene was too pretty
for adjectiyes to describe. If any We're
tired from the 600-foot climb they soon
forgot it in the beautiful picture below
them.
Fine View Obtained.
After remaining at the den for an
hour and a half short walk was taken
, to the Lookout Tower. where another
superb view Of the country was OBJ
tanned. The larger part Of the crowd
, then dispersed for the early train back
TO Washington. Thirty or forty, how
ever remained for the later train, ar
irving in the city at 1890 o'clock. This
party enjoyed a real moonlight stroll
climbing down the hill over the steel
rails: Many of those going yesterday
carried cameras"

There has never been a time
since the custom was first estab.
lished of setting apart one day in
tue year for Thanksgiving that the
American people as nation and
as individuals have had greater
cause for thankfulness than they
have today. As a nation we are
at peace with the whole world and
as individuals we have an abund-
ant supply of everything needed
for comfort. And yet, while re-
Joicing over our own peace and
comfort, we can not help lament
lug for the misfortunes Of others.
The feelings of universal brother.
hood can not be limited to the
realms Of nations. The ties of So
cial intercourse, of business rela-
tionship as well as of kinship that
bind US to the people of other coun-
tries transcend all national lines
and mingled with the selfish re-
joicings over our own good fortunes
must come the sorrow and sympa-
the for the sufferings of others.
While giving thanks to Dlvinu
Providence which has made our
own peace and prosperity possible
We should not forget the RESPONSE
bility that rests upon US in acquir
ing these blessings. 10 attribute
all of our good fortunes to Divine
Providence alone, would in effect
be to charge that same Power with
causing the strife and conflict that
is bringing suffering to others, a
charge that is not in accord with
our conception of Divine Proyi-
dence. Wherever strife and it's re.
sulting miseries exist it is due to
human failure to conform to the
Divine plan. Peace and happi-
ness can only come through hu-.
| man agencies working in harmon y
with Gods plan. Thanksgiving
therefore, should be coupled wi h
worthy determinations on our own
part, for Gods gifts come to rs IN
the form Of opportunities which
must be utilized by us to become
effective.

In The Sixth District.

The Baltimore American of last
Thursday editorially said:
The formal announcement by State
Senator Fred. N. Zhlman, of Cum
berland, that he will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress in the sixth district, means that
the Western Maryland political cam
paign will be full of life and full of in
terest. There are indications that
other Republican candidates will enter
the primaries, but, with his strong
backing, the chances seem all in favor
of the state senator. If there is any
contest at all it will be and should be a
friendly one, entered into with the dis
tinct understanding that when the
primary is over all Republicans will
unite and support the winner.
Until four years ago the Sixth dis
trict was counted Republican strong
hold and some election days showed a
party majority running as high as six
thousand. The present congressman,
Hon. David j. Lewis, was able to carry
1t when the Republicans were divided,
and, having been once elected, was
able to repeat the performance. He
has been hard-working congressman
and will not prove an easy man to beat
unless the Republicans are thoroughly
united and determined to win.
Success can be attained in this way.
All country and local jealousies must be
done away with, past political quarrels
forgotten and the whole party from one
end of the district to the other must get
into the fight with an enthusiasm and
Loyalty that presage victory. Repub-
licans are in a large majority in the
Sixth district. and, let them once again
get control of it, they will continue to
hold it through many a congressional
year to come.
Theirs is no reason why the Sixth
Congressional district OF Maryland
should be represented in Congress by
a Democrat. 1t is Republican
district by large majority. The sug-
gestion of the American that the Re-
publicans lay aside all differences and
work together in unity is a wise one.
The past should be forgotten. There
should be a determined effort to rally
under the banner of the Republican
party and elect our candidate by an
old time majority. We believe Garrett
County can be counted upon for a
loyal, united support of the ticket.

The Army Worm In Garrett County

The army worm is still on the march
in the vicinity of Frostburg, and unlike
"Coxey's Army" they increase in
numbers as they march. A Garrett
county farmer states that thousands and
thousands of the destructive pests are
crossing the National pike at different
points between here and Grantsville
He says that unless some concerted &C
ton is taken to destroy them they will
devastate the country. They have not
reached the county in any great num-
bers, but there are enough here to prop
agate millions. But it is not necessary
to wait until they overcome the country
and eat up everything. The best, quick
est and easiest way to save the lawns
and fields from them is to mix 10 pounds
of bran and middling, quarter of a
pound of paris green, a pint of mo-
lasses and water and scatter the paste
on the grass.
The mixture will not hurt the chick
ems and birds. Water the lawns as
usual, for it keeps the poison bait fresh
and palatable for the worms. 1t is also
fatal to slugs. -Frostburg Spirit.

AN OLD TIME FAVOR|TE
At MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK
Or. Russell H. ConweIl Will Lecture
At Chautauqua.

The return of Rev Russell H. Con-
well, pastor of Grace Baptist Temple
and President of Temple University
in Philadelphia, Pa, to the Park plat
form brings one of the most interesting
and wonderful men of the present day
to this community.
Not long ago in Philadelphia he de-
livered for the five thousandth time his
famous lecture, ACRES OF OLA
MONDS" to over five thousand men
and women who had gathered to hear
him. On this occasion he was given a
present of FIVE thousand dollars by the
many prominent men of the country
who are interested in his work.
By means of this wonderful lecture,
DR.. Conwell has made an amount of
money which, had it been invested as
compound interest, would have reach
ed nearly eight million dollars. Of all
this vast sum of money, not one penny
has DR.. Conwell retained for his person
al use, but has devoted it to help de.
serving young people along the road to
knowledge.
The Hon. John Wanamaker, in in
Producing him to the Great audience
which gathered to hear the 5000 cele-
bration, said; "Dr. Conwell is our
great citizen, who cannot be matched
anywhere in the United States. Not
anywhere in this country is there
citizen who has such tide of thank
fulness rolling about him as has DR..
COnwell.
although once a poor Baptist
minister without hope of a career, he
had vision that it would be a great
work to provide education for poor
boys and girls. He had feeling that
| if boys and girls of this type were
given educations, they would build
better homes and make better citizens.
80 he founded Temple University in
1886. From a struggling institution he
has developed it into one OF great power
and influence. He has spent his life
building men and citizenship"
The lecture, Acres of Diamonds, -
which DR.. Conwell will deliver again, is
based on the legend of an Arab who
sold his farm to go in search of diamond
fields. He searched in vain for many
years, and finally in dispair cast himself
into the sea. In the mean time the
man who had bought the farm. had
found diamond mine on the land
DR.. Conwell was born in Worthing-
ton, Mass, on February 18th, 1912. He
was graduated from Yale University,
1860, and from Albany University,
1886. He was Lieutenant Colonel in
the Union Army, and entered the
ministry IN 1879.
He has written number of books,
but his acres of Diamonds" is the
lecture that has won him fame through
out the world. He will repeat this
lecture in AS different towns for the
Chautauqua Association.
