New Registration.

After the September primaries the
Democratic management will face the
greatest problem that has confronted
them for more than eighteen years
That is general REGISTRATION. which will
occur on Tuesday. September 22nd;
Wednesday, September 23rd;. Tuesday
October 9th; Wednesday. October 9Th;
and Tuesday, October 18th for revision
only. (No new names will be added
the sitting on Tuesday, October 18th. J
This will be tremendous job. 1t can
hardly be expected that either party will
be able to nearly register its present
vote, but the effort TO register becomes a
necessity to carry ON the election. and
the expense will also appeal to the man
agement OF both political parties, who
will no doubt make the most strenuous
efforts to register their vote. Only those
who are registered can participate in the
next years primaries in September,
when all of the officials connected with
our State and county will be voted Tor.

Pipes Down Before Streets are
Fixed.

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen at
special meeting Friday night. passed
an ordinance which will hereafter compel
the putting down of all water service
pipes from the mains in the street to the
curb. before any street is built or rcsur-
faced The work will be done bv the
city and will be charge against the
property to which the service pipes run.
and there will be service pipe for every
lot. whether such lots are built upon at
the time or not. This ordinance was
heartily approved by all the aldermen, as
il is claimed that Frederick has suffered
much because OF the tearing up of its
streets often only few weeks after being
put down.
The -ity is now engaged in building
new macadam street on Washington
street where the new school building to
provide for the southern section of the
city was erected. Park avenue may also
be macadamized and also several other
streets about the city. The new law will
work no great hardship however, as the
CITY has for the past year or so endeavored
to have all such service pipes laid before
a street is macadamized. similar to the
plans as followed before streets are
paved.

Band Concerts.

It's up to the Frederick Board of AL
dermen whether or not Frederick is to
have series Of concerts in the beautiful
city park in front of the courthouse this
summer as an amusement scheme for the
public. The city has been asked to give
one hundred dollars towards band con-
certs. When this action is taken, the
Board Of Aldermen has been asked to
appoint a committee to conduct rapid
fire campaign for a hundred and forty
dollars which is still necessary to assure
eight concerts by the Yellow Springs Con-
cert Band, of which S. Fenton Harris is
director
This proposition was put before the
Board of Aldermen more than a week
ago. That body has had several meetings
since, but the question has not even been
discussed. The fact is the matter has
been pigeon holed so far. Several men,
bers of the Board declared that they
would bring the matter before the Board
at the next meeting and that action would
certainly be taken one way or the other.
Alderman Cutler said: II am certainly in
favor of band concerts, but don't think
The city is in position to give out one
hundred dollars for such a purpose. !"
Alderman Shoemaker said Il am a
lover of music, but must think it over
seriously before denoting one hundred

Less Danger in Proposed Road

A scheme has been placed before the
Good Roads Commission of Maryland,
which provides for the opening up of
about mile OF road through the proper
ties of Noah +. Cramer, County Com
missioner John w. Humm and J. F. Gro
Mise, and joining the Emmitsburg pike
and the road of the Woodsboro and
Frederick Turnpike Company. The plan
eliminates two crossings of the Northern
Central railroad, one directly in front Of
Rose HILL owned by Mr.. Cramer, and
the other at Harmony Grove station. AT
the same time the proposed link is slight
" shorter and the grades will not be SO
great.
AT the present time the highway of the
Woodsboro and Frederick Turnpike
Company extends directly from Freder-
ick to the old Worman's mill, where the
Emmitsburg pike intersects The new
route is perhaps more direct running al.
most directly IN straight line from Fred
erick to HARMONY Grove on the west side
of the railroad line 1t is believed that
the residents in that section of the county
will generally urge and back the granting
OF this petition.

Threehers Violate Law.

The traffic of engines hauling threshing
outfits over the county have damaged
the State roads in Frederick county and
other counties of the State 10 the extent
OF thousands of dollars. c. A. Tenney.
resident engineer of Frederick county
and part of Washington county. had a
conference with the Goods Road Com
mission and he was given Instructions to
arrest every man that appeared on State
road in his section with cleated engine.
in few days there will be warrants

of threshing machines" said Engineer
Tenney when asked about the matter.
The Good Roads Commission is 60

Engineer Tenney. Last year the county

a great saving to the State roads"
Engineer Tenny said that last year

Frederick, Carroll, Washington and How
ard counties for this very same thing, and
there was but one conviction, and that
was in Carroll county He said that the
authorities should fix and enforce the pen.

less to spend great amounts of money to
build fine network of roads.
In Frederick county the threshermen
have been particularly careless whether
or not their engines were blocked. The
roads all over the county, especially State
roads, are badly cut. While in itself
only slight damage, in short time
these holes will have extended until the
entire top dressing of the road has been
ruined. The members of State Roads
Commission were lrate over the matter
and instructed their resident engineer to
prepare to carrv out the provisions of the
law and swear out the warrants

Federal Control of Grain Market

Samples of Frederick county wheat
will be used by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in fixing definite and
set grades for wheat. Monday John H.
Cox, representing the Department of Ag-
riculture, came TO Frederick and obtained
samples of wheat delivered by farmers
at the Mountain CITY Mills and the Fred
erck CountyaFarmers' Exchange for the
purpose Of studying the conditions and
quality Of wheat as marketed by farmers
at this time of the year and also for max
ing milling tests.
The department has a number of men
in the principal wheat growing States of
the country at this time of the year, max
ing similar investigations and taking SAM
pies of wheat. The wheat in every sec
ton of the country, that al any time pro-
duces much wheat is being investigated.
The whole idea Of the department is to
establish definite grades for wheat This
power and authority was given the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture by the acts of Con-
gress of June 80, 1906; and of March a,
1918. The Secretary was empowered TO
fix definite grades of grain. The grading
of corn has been fixed and went into
effect July 1, 1914.
Although the Department of Agricul-
ture has the power to establish these
grades, the millers and grain exchanges
are not compelled to use them. There is
now a measure before the House Of Rep
resentatives providing for Fedrral super
vision of grain trading and uniform grad
ing This is known as the Moss bill and
was on July 20 reported favorable by the
House Agriculture Committee.

Farmers Must Fight the Worm.

The crusade against the army worm" :"
which has appeared in Frederick
county for the past week, and has
made its presence generally felt on the
nice, velvety laws, is now being actively
carried on in Frederick county. for on
Monday morning thousands appeared
on the farm of George Harmon, of Ar

morning h e army" had taken pos
session of the entire field, and had be-
gun to eat up things on the farm owned
by'Mr. William Rhoderick.

County Farm Demonstrator Emory C..
Rensburg, were called and went to the
farm to see just how much the worms
had destroyed DIR. StabIer advised Mr.

his field, and then set fire to it. He also
recommended that the field be powed

Board Cars Now From the Right
Side.

The loss of life BY the boarding Of
cars in Frederick will be reduced to a
minimum on SUNDAY morning, shortly
after midnight, when the new order,
Boarding and Getting Of of Electric
Cars" goes into effect simultaneously
as that law goes into effect. the Mayor
announces the enforcement of the law
that compels all automobiles, motor
cycles and vehicles of all varieties to
halt when passengers are getting off and
boarding an electric car.
1t was Mayor Fraley and Superintend-
ent R. Paul Smith, OF the Hagerstown
and Frederick Railway. that brought
about this new rule The two men got
together and held several conferences.
The Mayor contended that the lives of
the public were constantly in jeopardy
bv the system which was used in getting
of and on the cars; not that the railroad
was at fault but because no provision
has been made to have the public COM
ply with the most modern methods of
getting on and off Of the cars.
The Mayor and Superintendent Smith
then struck a compromise. If the Railroad
Company would provide the ways and
means of compelling the public to board
the trains from the right the city would
see that all vehicles should stop when
the loading of the travelling public was
in process. Superintendent Smith then
agreed, and on Wednesday night re-
ported to the Mayor that every car on
the line had been equipped with ratings
on the left side. which would compel
the travelling public TO use only the right
side.

Gasoline Under the Pavement

To have gasoline stored away under
the pavement in front of garages for the
convenience of statesmen OF gasoline to
motorists is the latest device which is
now being used in Frederick AS much
as 500 gallons of the gasoline can be
stored away in the huge tank under the
sidewalk. Fire or water can not pene-
trate into any part OF the contrivance.
At the edge of the side walk is built
an automatic measurer of the amount
OF the liquid sold. so that the invention
makes great convenience to autoists.
The tank goes down under the pavement
for four feet, and is drawn up through
tubing when necessary. Two such under
ground tanks arein use IN Frederick. one
at the National Garage. West Patrick
street, and another at the Davis Garage,
South Market street.
