The Key Celebration.

The Francis Scott Key Celebration,
for which the Legislature of Mary
land at it's last session, appropriated
SIS 200 has assumed the shape of a
local celebration for the selfish inter
est of Baltimore and the self gloriti-
cation of some of its more prominent
citizens, namely, Mayor Preston and
his followers.
While Senator Matthias voted for
this appropriation with the distinct
understanding and agreement that
Frederick county was to be given
$500 of this fund which agreement
Senator Campbell of Baltimore still
says was the fact, nevertheless, Bal
timore has turned a deaf ear to Fred
erick county and is going to hog"
the whole fund.
Very well let them have it. If
their sense Of patriotism is of this
swinish" brand, certainly Freder-
lick county has enough of different
variety to have a true and genuine
celebration financed by its citizens
without the aid of Baltimore or the
State of Maryland, through its treas
Dry, to which Frederick county GER
tainly contributes her share.
We are gratified that Frederick
city is aroused and is going ahead
with the celebration. Francis Scott
Key belongs to this county; he was
one of her many illustrious citizens;
his ashes are now inferred in Mt.
Olivet cemetery and it is fitting that
all Frederick county meet at his
grave and pay tribute to his memory
and to his patriotism.
Let all the sons and daughters of
Frederick county make this a home
coming week and let every village
and hamlet catch the spirit and have
their community celebrations and
home comings and then gather for a
great big celebration at Frederick.
Let us forget the selfishness of Bal
timore in this instance and pay no
attention to her. Let US bend all our
energies towards making our own
celebration a success and studiously
avoid aiding Baltimore in hers by
the presence of any of our citizens or
otherwise. Go to it Baltimore, Fred
erick county don't care a rap, but
some of her citizens will have cause
to remember some of yours.

BASEBALL NEWS.
ThurmOnt =; +. A. e. |.

lHuFIllOnt ., r. ~. u. l.
A very interesting game was played
on the local diamond Saturday afternoon,
the team organized under the name of
the Frederick Athletic Club being the
visitors. Lease, we'll known twirler
from Frederick, was put in the box to
pitch and for four innings held the local
club to no runs.
In the fifth inning the Thurmont boys
commenced making things lively and
three runners came across the home
plate. For the next two times up the
locals failed to hit safely and went out
before reaching first.
The eighth inning proved regular
picnic for the local team. Ed. Creeger
started the fun, Root drove long fly to
center and was caught out, Freeze hit
safe and the ball went in Esterline's gar
den to look after vegetables while Freeze
was max ing the circuit; Leo Creeger,
Willhide and Wisotzkey hit safe and
scored, Kelbaugh hit to short and was
out at first, Beard hit one steen feet in
the air and Lease left the ball through,
Damuth hit for single, E. Creeger came
to the bat for the second time in this in
ming, hit to short and was out-five runs
scored.
For the home team Root pitched an
elegant game. Only five hits were made
off his delivery and but for an error the
Frederick boys would have been shut ont.
This lone run was made, however, by
John Creeger, of this place, who played
right field for Frederick. The score:

Political Influence Of No
Avail.
Lincoln Highway Not to be Di'
yerted-Direct Route From
Coast to Coast.

THAT the Lincoln Memorial High
way will not be diverted from the
original, route as planned by the High
way Association seems quite evident
from the letter recently received by
the Secretary of the York Chamber
of Commerce. There has been much
agitation over the route since the in
ception of the idea of establishing II
coast to coast boulevard and many of
those who were slow in lending sup
port to the proposed highway are now
making the biggest noise about hav-
ing the route changed SO that it may
pass through some favored spot Of
their choice.
"Vice President, A. r. Pardington,
of Chicago, who is also Secretary OF
the Lincoln Highway Association
states that while there is agitation in
Washington and Baltimore to change
the route SO as to have it pass through
these two cities, the decision of the
board of directors in the approval of
the original route is final and that it
is the disposition of the directors to
sit tight. The national association
is not in any way whatever connect
ed with any organization or body in
the country and it is said, that the
influence will be of no avail in hav-
ing the proposed change brought
about.
"Thc original route from Philadrl-
pha, through Lancaster, York and
Gettysburg and on West has been
marked and is now generally rccog-
nized by tourists as the Lincoln High
way. Many cities along this route
have under consideration suitable me-
MORALS to mark tn" entrance and
exit of the Highway. Chambersburg
and York are contemplating the con-
struction of Arches, and at other
places the route will be marked with
trees and shrubs making the boulr-
ward attractive as well a. a highway
of comfort.
"Much credit is given to the Fed
Grafton of Women $ Clubs of America
by Mr.. Pardington for what they are
doing to assist the movement. When
/ Congress was asked for its indorsr-
ment of Highway the matter was
juggled by politicians until it resulted
in the construction of a mass of
granite confined to the city of Wash
ington. The American people are
now building a memorial TO the ven
cradle Lincoln and are not soliciting
political influence. " - Gettysburg

SeaSOnable Weather.

For the past several weeks showers
have been frequent in this vicinity and
vegetation is looking its best. The pros
poets for big corn crop is exceedingly
good. While these rains are helpful to
everything growing, they are damaging
to the wheat that has not been housed.
In many instances the wheat is sprout-
ing in the shock and will be practically
worthless.

New Substitute IS
 Found for Gasoline

Warner Z- Reed las returned from m Inspection of tae Midwest Oil properties near Casper, Wyo. l.e annomcys tbat he is well pleased with the pro-resa beln- made in te development Of fhg fields The Stan dard Oil company, he said. is going to erect a huze refinery which will take the fuel oil as it is being sold by the Midwest and the Franco com oanies for manufacture into many by-products.
 One of the chief productions to be derived from the fuel oil is motor spirit, new article invented and patented by Dr. Burton. This sub stance is taken from the heavy fuel oil after the lighter oils have been substracted. Dr. Burton claims that it contains F per cent more mileage than gasoline when used by automo- piles, and that it can be sold for several cents less per gallon
 He is now introducing the new oil on the market and plans 10 de rive the bulk of it from the Casper plant. The new plant will employ several hundred men, says Reed, and will manufacture nearly 100 different products for consumption. The struc- ture will cost approximately $75o- 000.-San Francisco Examiner.

Sufragists Have
 Big Campaign und

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-There are very few organizations that enjoy the distinction of having been be- queathed $1o00000 in cold cash. Therefore, the suffragists of New York, who so handsomely benefited by the will of the late Mrs Frank Leslie of this city are not just sure what they are going to do with it. The establishment of a Woman Suf- fraae commission has been proposed for one thing.
 Such a commission would have "harge of the great fight now being waged in the interest of votes for women and would have charge of the funds spent for campaign purposes. It is also not unlikely that the suf- fragists will devote a part of the money to helping their sisters in the cause in war-stricken countries.

EXPERIENCES IN
 BELGIUM TOLD

LONDON, Aug. 2l-The fighting at TirIemont aud Louyaia is descrih- ed by the Ostend cores spoadent of the Express, who says he witnessed it from church tower at Tirle. mont first and later proceeded to Louvain. He says;
 until lunch time on Tuesday Thlemont was quiet and normal Suddenly about 1 o'clock came tho sound of the first German guns. The artillery had opened fire.
 From the church tower it was possible to see distinctly the posi- ton of the German guns and the Bursting Of their shells. The Bel eians replied from their positions east of Louvain. It was q striking sight to the accompaniment of the ceaseless thud, thud of burstins shells with their puffs of cotton like smoke tearing up the peaceful wheatfields not far away
 Gradually working nearer. the shells began To strike the houses in Tirlemont This was t}e signal for the populaee, which heretofore had been confident that the Belgian ar- tillery would protect them, to fly blindly and unreasoninglv, All they knew was that the Germans were coming. From the tower the scene was like the rushing of rats from disturbed house The people fled in every way except one.
 - moved down to Louyain, where everything seemed quiet and peace- ful The people sat in the cafes their evening beer and smoking. Meanwhile the Belgian troops were retiring in good order toward Louvain.
 By midnight the town was in the throes of a panic Long before throngs of refugees had be gun to arrive followed by soldiers By II o'clock the Belgian rear guard was engaging the enemy at the bridge at the entrance of the town.
 The firing was heavy. The wounded began to come in Rider less horses came along, both Ger man and Belgian. These were caught and mounted by civilians, glad to have so rapid a mode of escape.
 "At some of the barricades along the route. the refugees and soldiers arrived at the same time, making the defense difficult All about Tir- lemont and Louvain the refugees interfered with the work of the troops The road to Brussels always was crowded with refugees
