Ask Help On Road.
Mountain Road From LantZ To
ThurmOnt TO be Improved.


Residents and taxpayers of Lantz, this
county, are making an effort to have the
road leading from that place to Thur
mont improved. To this end they have
secured piping from the county to place
across the road instead of the big break
ers now used to turn the water from the
roadbed. They have also set day, Sat-
urday, July oath, as get-together day
to do work on this road. Every person
from the valley section who possibly can
will give days work or it's equivalent
in money, and begin work at or near the
Deerfeld crossing and work towards
Thurmont.
To aid these people an effort is being
made in Thurmont to have as many men
as possible Join in this work on this day.
These will begin somewhere near the
iron bridge over Owens creek and work
up the mountain until the two forces
come together. The promoters of this
work hope that every person who posi-
bly, can will aid the work from the Thur
mont end on July Oath.
This road is the main thoronghfare
from Thurmont to Blue Ridge Summit.
That portion between Deerfeld and the
top of the mountain has been put in ex-
cellent condition, it being almost as good
as the State Road and better than the
average pike.
If the road from Deerfeld to Thurmont
was put in as good condition, motoring
from this place to the mountain summer
resorts would be splendid and would
draw many cars this way.
For further information see Mr.. d. K.
RouZer.

THIRD: DR.. Lamar has bushes abil-
ity. He has had professional career
of great many years and his work has
been more than success in every par
ticular. AS physician, he has built up
one of the largest practices in Middle
town Valley, and has shown himself to
be an excellent and capable business
manager.
FOURTH: DR.. Lamar possesses all
of the excellent qualities of good Office
holder, and none of the disagreeable fea-
lures of bad one. He is a man of
strict attention to the business in hand.
He is an economist and man who would
undoubtedly save money for the county.
When he undertakes a matter he is ac-
custOmed to continue working until he
has either pushed the affair through to
a successf ul finish or has proved it i'm
possible of achievement. He is not a
qui tier. He is not a figurehead. He is
a worker-a worker of the highest type.
He is a man Of responsibility and man
whom the people can trust in chaLge Of
their affairs.
FIFTH: DR.. Lamar, in addition to
possessing all of the above qualifications,
has been lifelong resident of Middle
town Valley. This is the qualification
upon which the Doctor wishes to lay the
most stress. Last week figures were
given from two different elections to
show that Middletown Valley has been
the county's most loyal Republican
stronghold. Figures do not lie, and those
figures were most convincing. They
proved, without further doubt, that
MiddletOwn Valley deserves to be given
the office of Register of Wills, and hard
ly Republican in the entire county can
concede otherwise AS DR.. Lamar is a
Valley citizen, he should receive an enor-
nous Republican vote, and he undoubted-
ly will if the county voters carefully con-
slider his qualifications for the Office.
Read these facts over again, Mr.. Vot-
er, and give them your unbiased, person
al attention, and then DR.. Lamar asks
you to give HIM the support which you
think he deserves.

they REFUSEST0T EAT

AT periods In most chlldrenS lives
they fail to relish their meals and refuse
