Mr.. Willard are:
Il am writing you as counsel for
the supervisors of elections for Fred
erick county for information in re-
ference to parties who may apply as

Yer. who on account of a severe at
tack of typhoid fever at the last re-
gistrrtion was unable to have his
name put on the registration books.

Lincoln Road to Go Through
Frederick.

Word has been received here to the
effect that the Lincoln National high
way will pass through Frederick. The
route is to be changed so that instead
of turning westward at PHILADELPHIA
and running to Gettysburg, the high
way will run south to Baltimore. At
Washington it will make a turn west
and follow the Rockwell pike into
Frederick and will run from this city
to Gettysburg.
Something like a year ago an effort
was made to have the national
road included Washington, Baltimore
and Frederick. President Wilson used
his influence to bring about this end
by writing to the president of the
lincoln Highway association. The
president of the association replied to
the effect that the change could not
be made, the principal reason being
that the distance between New York
and San Francisco over the thorough
fare would be increased 172 miles.
The marked improvement made in
the road between Gettysburg and En-
mitsburg undoubtedly had much to
do with the change being made. The
Lincoln National highway is now at
tracing thousands of automobiles
and the change in the route will bring
many of them to this city.

Will Lecture on Farm Topics.

With a view of meeting the popular
demand for lectures on farm topics
by medium of stereopticon views, a
series of lectures will be given in
Frederick county in public school
buildings during the coming month
by Sidney S. Stabler, head of the agri-
cultural department of the Boys high
school. This scheme is an extension
of the Frederick county farm bureau
work which is being conducted this
summer under the supervision of Mr..
Stabler.
The stereopticon views are fur1-
ished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture A modern mach
inc for the displaying of views is now
in the possession of Mr.. Stabler.
These subjects will be discussed and
illustrated With views:
Dairying. horses, poultry, COM
munity work. In the rural high
school: Some features of high school
instruction in agricultural; live stock
industry.
The indications are that many petit
tons will be made for these lectures
Already three applications have been
filed to Mr.. Stabler to place his lee
ture in certain sections. Mr.. Stabler
announced last evening that but one
lecture would be given in one parti-
cular community.
About fifty boys are growing pota-
toes scientifically under the super
vision of Mr.. Stabler A record break
ing yield of potatoes is expected by
Mr. Stabler.
THE prospects for a fine corn croI
are good indeed, especially in Mid.
dletown, Valley" said Mr.. Stabler in
discussing the indications for bum
per corn yield in this county, which
has been made possible by the unus-
ually seasonable weather.

0 clock Monday night addressed a fair
sized crowd on the steps of the People $
Insurance Company at Court and Church
streets. this city. The Yellow Springs
Band furnished the music DR.. Lloyd
I. MaeGill presided and introduced each
speaker. Inasmuch as Mr.. Lee has a
very decided antipathy towards Senator
John Walter Smith. his colleague in the
Senate, and is leading that portion of
the party which is opposed to Mr.. Smith
and his friends throughout the State. it
is quite natural to figure in one mind
the nature of Mr.. Lees remarks. He
Of course advanced his own ideas. what
he is going to do, and gave an explana-
ton of what caused him to enter the
fight for governor whilst still represent
ing the people of this State as United
States Senator at Washington. Mr..
MalOy went into various phases of the
platform on which they stood, and en-
tertained the people for some time.
Mr.. Copper also spoke about his concep.
ton of the Office to which he aspired.
On Tuesday Dir. Lee and party took
in another section Of Frederick county

to Frederick that night. On Wednes-
day he returned to Baltimore to attend a

Wants Parcel Post Exhibit.

Postmaster General Burleson, of
Washington, d. c., in a letter directed
to all presidential postmasters, in
GLIDING Postmaster Williamson, of
Frederick, urges parcel post exhibits
at county fairs and civic expositions
throughout the United States this
summer to educate the people to the
usefulness of the governments ex-
press service. The plan will be car
ried out at the Frederick county fair
to be held in this city.
THE department" said Mr.. Burle-
son in his letter, SIS now successfully
carrying parcels at the rate of a bill
lion pieces year. The public are Of
ferlng the packages in a much better
wrapped and packed condition than
formerly. As a result there is prac-
tlcally no loss or damage to articles
in the mails. The service reaches not
only large cities and towns on rail-
roads, but extends to all rural sec
lions, even though remote from ordi-
nary transportation facilities"
Mr.. Burleson tells the postmasters
TO cooperate with exhibitors of par
eel containers. Last year exhibits
were installed in nearly 200 fairs,
with the result that the parcel post
traffic, despite the war, made a big
increase.
In an order the Postmaster-Gene
prohibits the use of bicycles and mo-
torcycles in the rural delivery service
after January 1, 1916, because of IL
aolilty OF the mail carrier to injury.
mere are now 5000 routes upon
which these vehicles are used. 1t is
contended by the department that the
carrier using bicycle or motorcycle
is tempted to discourage parcel post
shipments, which traffic the DEPART
ment is boosting.

Maryland Practically Free From
Quarantine.

No territory in Maryland is now IN
der quarantine for foot-and-mouth dis
ease except the Baltimore Butcher $
Abattoir Company pens and the Union
Stock Yards Of Baltimore. The order
making this change is effective July %.
1t frees Connecticut. Kansas and West
Virginia altogether. and reduces the
quarantines in Kentucky and Virginia
to restriction on the stock yards at
Louisville and Richmond similar to those
imposed upon the yards at Baltimore.
These are still not permitted to handle
live stock except for slaughter. The
sane order frees five counties in New
York, four in Pennsylvania, and one in
Illinois. With these reductions. the
area in the United States now under
quarantine for foot-and-mouth disease is
practically confined to stock yards, three
counties in New YORK, two in Pennsyl-
vania, four in Illinois, and one in New
Jersey. Even in these the regulations
are far less stringent than formerly.
