School Demonstration.

Final plans for the Second Annual
Public School Demonstration are being
arranged for the meeting in Frederick
on May l4th. Teachers in the local
schools and throughout the county are
already preparing exhibits, and indica-
tions are that the demonstration will sur
pass that of last year. 1t is stated that
children will be given half fare rates by
the railroads to Frederick on this occa-
sion. 1t is to be hoped that the H. & F.
railway will arrange to haul the hundreds
who go from Thurmont and get them to
Frederick in time to take part in the pa
rade. AS will be remembered, several
teachers and their pupils from Thurmont
missed the parade last year because of
lack of cars.
The School Board will decide this week
whether the exhibit will be at the Armory
or at the Fair Grounds.

Forest Fires Near Thurmont
Much Damage Done Timber
At This Season.

A fire started some time Sunday night
along the Hartman Gap road west of
Thurmont at what is known as Blue
Blazes not far from the Hartman home
stead and at a place where some time
ago James G. Stevens had his saw mill
located.
The strong wind drove the blaze down
the mountain to Bear Branch, a small
stream issuing from the hills to west.
At this place fireman made a fire line
and following the stream turned the fire
up the hill and Monday night led it to
where another fire was making its way
across the top of the mountain from the
west.
From this place the two fires made a
very spectacular appearance. On top OF
the hill are many pine trees and the
flames would envelop these and shoot
many feet skyward
Monday all day the smoke from the
fire was dense in this vicinity and hun
dreds of particles of burned leaves could
be seen drifting in the air. Through the
efforts of Messrs Howard Creeger of this
place and Frank Fraley of Catoctin, For
est Wardens, and large number of men
the fire was put out Monday night. The
fire was about two miles from Thurmont
and at no time was any buildings in
danger.
The dry condition of the leaves and
wood in the mountain caused fire to
spread rapidly, and during the past week
thousands of acres have been burned
over. These fires do not start themselves
and many people are beginning to think
that they are started purposely by law
less people for the purpose of getting
employment at twenty cents per hour.
Evidently the expense to the county and
State will be heavy for fighting fire this
year.
