Work ON SchOOihOuSe Begun.
After a series of delays in matters per-
tanning to the erection of the High School
building at this place, work was finally
commenced Monda y morning of this week.
Three two-horse teams with pillow and
scoops began excavating for the founda-
ton and these have been kept working
since that time. AS the earth is scooped
it is hauled to low places and in this way
much of the grading will be done.
Mr.. Lloyd Cutler, the contractor, now
has three large contracts. He is erect
ing the administration building for Hood
College, at bid of $6l,0 the new
dormitory building at $55, 500 at Freder
ick, and the Thurmont High School build
ing at $3l 900, in addition to other small
er work. The press of hard times. which
is being felt in many cities, and to some
extent in Frederick, is not bothering Mr..
Cutler and he has work which will last
him about II months.

Frederick County Loyalty.
ThurmOnt to be Represented al
The Banner Centennial.

The Star-Spangled Banner Centennial,
which takes place next week, should en-
list the cordial encouragement and sup
port of every loyal son of Frederick
county.
The city is made the scene of the cele-
bration, only because it is the centre, the
heart of the county from which it's AFTER
les of commerce and exchange radiate.
There are no more important factors
in the success of the affair, than the
farmers who till the fertile soil of Fred
erick county.
Francis Scott Key belongs to the coun-
ty no less than to the city, nay, even
more, for was he not born on farm in
Frederick county, not so very far from
Thurmont. There are several ways in
which aid and encouragement can be
given to make this Centennial and Home
coming week great success and credit
to the county's history and traditions.
Most important is the presence at the
various events on the program, of all
who can attend. Next the most liberal
contributions within the means of resi-
dents of the county, who are proud of
her and unwilling that any of her under
takings should fail, or not reach the full
measure of success.
Last, is to have as many former resi-
dents as possible visit the familiar scenes
of their youth and renew their devotion
to the place of their birth. When they
return to their homes in far distant
States they will spread abroad the glories
of old Frederick county, tell of her green
fields, her blue mountains, her glorious
hospitality, her fitness to be the mother
of brave sons and fair daughters and the
birth place of the author of the immortal
ballad 1.-The Star-Spangled Banner"
The Committee, Messrs l.. R. Waesche,
H. d. Beachley, Joseph c. Gernand, P.
N. Hammaker, and John P. T. Matthias,
Who have charge of the preparation of
the float which will represent Thurmont
in the parade, Thursday, Sept. 10th, are
working hard and expect to have some
thing that will be credit to the town
and community. Let all who can, go to
see it and feel proud of our town.
The owners of automobiles in Thur
mont and district are invited to join in
the parade on Thursday, Sept. 10th. 1t
is the wish of the Committee to have at
least twenty cars in line. Please get in
touch with any member of the Committee
so that they can arrange place for you
in the procession. They also desire to
have fifty horsemen in the parade.
A public meeting is called for Friday
night in Town Hall at o'clock. The
presence of the ladies' is desired as well
as the men. Every one come.

Chairman Committee.

Tree Warden For Thurrnont
And Vicinity.

The following letter came to US from
the Maryland State Board of Forestry,
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
and for information of the public we
publish same. After reading cut the
item out and preserve it for future use.
The letter is as follows:
"Under new State law all the trees
standing within the right-of-way of pub
lie highways and along the sidewalks OF
Incorporated towns become public shade
trees, under the care and protection of
the State through the State Board of
Forestry. Heretofore the authority over
such trees has not been clearly defined,
generally the property owner. who owned
the abutting property claimed them as
his trees, the town or road supervisors,
as the case might be, claimed certain
amount of jurisdiction because they were
along the public highway or street, while
the pole line companies, which have
franchise or permit to use the roads or
streets, claimed that whenever such trees
interferred with their wires they had the
right to cut or trim them. This has led
to much i'll feeling and many controvers-
les and has proven very unsatisfactory,
Now the status of these trees is clearly
defined, and they are recognized as part
of the improvements of the road or street,
belonging not to the individual but to
the public generally.
"This new law makes it misdemeanor
for any one to cut, trim or in any way
in ure one of these trees without a per-
nit from the State Board of Forestry.
The purpose of the law is to prevent the
mutilation or reckless cutting of these
trees, which add so much to the attract
iveness of the streets and roadsides and
are source of comfort to the people.
1t takes many years to grow a shade
tree and they are worthy of the very
best care and protection of the State.
"For the town of ThurmOnt and the
oatying sections the Governor of the
State, upon the recommendation of the
State Forester, has commissioned Mr.. +.
". Fraley. of Thurmont, as the local
Tree Warden. Every one interested in
the protection of trees should cooperate
with Mr.. Fraley in this good work to see
that the law is strictly enforced and to
see that the community receives the full
benefits under its provisions.
