Nothing Heard From Missing
ThurmOnt Merchant.

On Tuesday, March 3rd, MIR. David F.
Firor, confectioner Vt this place, left for
Baltimore for the purpose of purchasing
Easter novelties, etc., stating to his wife
and mother that he would be home on the
evening train. The train came but Dave
did not come home, and 1t was taken for
granted that he did not get to finish his
shopping and remained until next day as
he had done on future occasions.
Dave failed to come home next day
and inquiry was made. 1t was ascertain
ed that he was seen and spoken to In
Baltimore by Thurmont people Tuesday
afternoon. Nothing further has been
heard of his whereabouts since that time.
His family and relatives are at lost
to account for reason why he should
not return. Those in q position to know
state that his financial condition was not
so embarrassing that it would drive him
away. No creditors have thus far made
demands for immediate payment and his
store is now in charge Of his mother
Mrs. VIM. Firor.
On Tuesday of this week his brother,
Mr.. William Firor of the University OF
Athens, arrived home and on Wednesday
went to Baltimore to try and learn some
thing about his brother. 1t II thought
by many that Dave met with foul play
in the city. His home relatives have
been always pleasant, and he enjoys thu
friendship of large circle of friends If
this part of the county. Things OF hi
whereabouts will be great source Of
Joy to his wife and mother and all wht
knew him.

BaItimore's Generosity.

Last week we made reply to the
inquiry of Mayor Preston respecting
the views of country newspapers OF
bringing about a better feeling be-
tween the City of Baltimore and the
Counties of the State, and having for
gotten one particular point, we de-
sire to refer to it in this issue.
The city can get closer co-opera =
ton of the counties II the city will be
just (not generously to the counties.
We have q notable ease OF rank in
Justice to Frederick county, when
Baltimore asked the last Legislature
to appropriate So, 600. 90 out OF the
Treasury of Maryland for the purpose
OF aiding Baltimore in rlri'ration
Of the birth of the Star Spangled Ban
ncr. Frederick county desired a pOr-
ton of this fund to be given her for
a local celebration at the authors
grave. This was opposed by Balti-
more city's delegation, but gentle
mans agreement was reached in
which Baltimore city assured Freder-
lex county members Of the Lrgisla-
ture that portion of the fund would
be 80 given. Well, To make long
story short, Baltimore got these, 900
and she fatty refused to Civ" one
cent to Frederick county.
His Honor Mayor Preston is ac-
credited with the job, but regardless
of what individual was responsible,
the fact remains that Baltimore city
hogged" the fund, broke faith with
Frederick county and it will take
some time to make Frederick county
feel that Baltimore city can be trust
ed. She won't take any more gen
tlemen's agreements.
If it had not been for this promise
made to Frederick county, the APP
preparation would not have been
made. 1t would have been far bet
ter if the bill carrying this had been
defeated, for it was taking that much
money out of the taxpayers pockets
without one cent value being return
ed. 1t is reported in the papers that
Baltimore failed to spend all the fund.
She still has about seven thousand
dollars left. OF course che will (not)
return this fund to the Treasurer of
the State of Maryland.
No wonder Baltimore desires
large representation in the Legisla-
ture. If she gets this she won't be
50 anxious then to have this good
county feeling" because she can get
anything she wants regardless of how
it effects the counties.

Newspaper Prize
Contest Illegal
Attorney General Cites 1913
Statute in Answering Query
on Subscription Campaigns

Newspaper contests, with a
subscription string tied to them,
are barred by a Minnesota sta
tute. Attorney General Lyn-
don A. Smith has had occasion
in the last two years to call
more than one publisher to &C
count for infringing the law, vio-
lation of which is punishable as
a misdemeanor.
1t was supposed that the ex-
istence of such a law was well
understood by publishers, but
only recently Mr.. Smith received
an inquiry from an East Grand
Forks paper asking if it's circu-
lation contest was illegal.
Piano Was Prize
In this case, a piano was Of
fered to the contestant "secur-
ing the largest number of votes
to be given away with subscrip-
tions," and 10 other prizes to
less successful competitors. The
attorney general in his answer
quoted Section of Chapter 374,
Laws of 1913, as follows:
whenever any person, for the
purpose Of inducing the public
to subscribe for or buy any
news paper, magazine or period
ical for valuable consideration,
offers and advertises to give
premium, gift or prize to any
person or persons procuring such
sale or subscription, the person
offering such gift shall be
deemed to be engaged in gift
enterprise, unless such premi-
UNI, gift or prize is absolute and
does not depend upon any chance
or contingency whatever"
Reason for Statute
The 1913 statute was enacted
in response to a general public
demand for some limit to a raid
upon the peoples pocketbooks
by certain daily and weekly
| newspapers, magazines and
trade and religious journals in
efforts to initiate subscription
lists by offering prizes.
Usually the contests have to
do with 'the most beautiful, "
or ''the most popular" or the
most something else. The SUI
perlative in each case is meas
ured by the number of subscrip-
lions obtained, or the number of
copies Of the publication sold in
procuring voting coupons. Min
