Barn Near Jefferson DESTROYED.

Three horses and six cows, together
with all farming implements, feed, har-
ness, was burned Monday night when the
barn Of William l.. Kemp, near Jeffer-
son, was completely destroyed by fire.
The loss will be near $4,000, according to
indirect reports received from the vicini-
ty of the fire Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Elmer Kemp, daughter-in-law of
Mr.. Kemp, walked to the home of Geo.
W. Morningstar, about half mile dist
ant, and asked that the community be
aroused. There is no telephone in the
Kemp home. Quite large crowd of
farmers turned out for the fire.
1t was Mrs. Kemp who discovered the
fire. She was aroused by the bright
light which shone in her bedroom. 1t
was about 11.30 o'clock, which time the
fire was discovered. On going to the
window Mrs. Kemp saw the barn in a
mass of flames.
When the members of the family had
been aroused rescue of the animals in
the barn was out of question. Parts of
the building had begun to fall in.
1t was reported that although there
were several buildings in the immediate
vicinity of the barn, that none were
burned.
No cause is given for the fire. Wheth-
er it was due to the presence of tramp
is not known. Mrs. Kemp reported that
the family was mystified as to any posi-
BILE cause of the fire. Post.

Excursion to Pittsburgh.


Pittsburgh. How many citizens resid-
ing in this community can picture the
vast magnitude of this metropolis of
Pennsylvania?
Another opportunity will be given by
the Western Maryland railway to the
people along the line to visit the great
steel center of the United States, Satur-
day, April 10th, allowing ample time to
inspect the many interesting points, Wis
iting friends or to take in the sights, of
which there are many.
Leaving Thurmont Saturday, April
10, at IL 81 p. M, the frst-class through
train is due to arrive at Pittsburgh 1926
p. m. Saturday and the time limit of the
ticket will allow the excursonist to re-
main over until 9.l5 Monday morning.
The Western Maryland will, for this
occasion, carry those holding tickets, in
the most modern equipped trains over
the new scenic route.
Pittsburgh is the center of population
of 10000 people and is also the center
of the large steel industries. There are
many fine public buildings to be seen.
The Carnegie Art Gallery and Museum
which is considered to be equal to any in
the country are open on Sunday, which
will afford an excellent opportunity to
inspect the many treasures contained
therein. There are also many other in
teresting places to visit in this city.
Indications at the present time point
to one of the largest excursions ever
taken over the Western Maryland.

Celebrate Maryland Day.
228 Pupils In Procession To
Town Hall. Were You There?

| Town Hall. We're you There!
On Thursday afternoon. March 25th,
most pleasing and interesting Maryland
Day exercise was held in the Thurmont
Town Hall.
The teachers and pupils of our public
and high school, accompanied by the
speaker for the occasion. marched from
the school building on East Main street
to the Hall.
The procession was led by Mr.. Paul
Fleagle, student of our school, He
carried beautiful, new. American flag
which had never before been caressed by
the mountain breezes. This beautiful
flag belongs to the G. A. R. Post of Thur
mont and was most graciously loaned to
the schools. 1t was most kindly court
esy and shows the patriotic devotion OF
our old soldiers not only for our country
but for our state also.
The teachers and pupils most fully ap-
preciate this evidence of goodwill on the
part of the G. A. R. Post for our schools
and the cause of education.
Smaller American flags and two Mary
land flags were carried by the pupils OF
the Primary Department. The Inter-
mediate Grades were led by Mr.. George
Hoover, also student of the school,
carrying the banner used at the May.
1914, exhibition in Frederick. The High
School pupils and teachers brought up
the rear of the line of march.
This procession presented quite for
mida BILE appearance and no doubt caused
many to wonder where such number
were housed in the present school build
ing. 1t should also have been an object
lesson as to the possibilities for good or
evil which lies dormant in all children
and the absolute necessity that these
possibilities be developed for good by
giving adequate facilities for educationa
advancement.
The recitations and readings were wei
rendered, the songs quite pleasing, the
instrumental music most enjoyable.
DR.. Joseph H. Apple, of Hood College,
gave very forceful address showing
most conclusively the necessity for the
full development of body, mind and soul
in order that the highest possible cult
walton may be attained and our boys and
girls become the most worthy men and
women.
A very commendable spirit of interest
was shown on the part of many parents
and patrons of the school by their at
tendance and their words of approval
for the exercises.
Such manifestations of concern for the
welfare of the children of our town and
neghborhood is far. reaching in its in
fluence.
1t encourages the children, who at
present can see very little use in the
necessary effort to gain knowledge, it
becomes an incentive to those in the
community who are careless about hav-
ing their children avail themselves of
the present educational opportunities, it
inspires the teachers, who are much more
deeply interested in the lasting welfare
of the children than is generally suppos-
ed, to press on even more ardently in the
very important work in which they are
engaged.
The standard of any community is
much raised when it's citizens show that
they fully appreciate the benefits derived
from being known as an intelligent peo-
pie, and in part judgment is passed by
the attitude shown towards education.

Dr.. Hare Lectures.
Maryland Sure To Go Dry In
Near Future.

Near Future.
On Wednesday evening of last week
DR.. Thomas M. Hare, State Superintend-
ent of the Maryland Anti-Saloon League,
spoke in Town Hall, Thurmont, on the
very important topic claiming the atten-
ton of the people of Maryland-"Prohi-
bition."
As is we'll known by those who read,
laws are being passed by many States
prohibiting the sale of liquors, about half
the States of the Union now having a
prohibition law.
A State to 60 "dry" recently was
West Virginia, and from statistics given
out in that State since dry, DR.. Hare
quoted many facts thought impossible
while she was in her wet condition.
Maryland is said to be one of the wet
est" States in the Union, and DR.. Hare
and many others in the cause of temper
ance IRE making desperate effort to
place Maryland in the dry column. The
thing necessary to have the matter de-
termined is for the voters of the State
to elect delegates to the legislature who
are favorable to temperance, or at least
willing to pass law giving the people a
chance to vote on the proposition. Last
fall three counties had the privilege to
vote on the proposition and the people OF
those counties put them in the dry
columns.
If given a chance, the people of the
State will put Maryland in the dry, is
DR.. Hare's belief, and he is not the only
one thinking that way at this time.
The large audience present was de-
lighted with the address, and no doubt
DR.. Hare's coming here has had good
effect.
Messrs. Welty Fahrney, of Frederick,
and ]. Bibbs Mills, of Baltimore, made
tour through the north end of the equity
last week in cause of temperance.
Speaking of West Virginia, the follow
ing article appeared in the Baltimore Sun
asst Monday morning:
THE city of Wheeling, w. Va, has
,aved %, 588 meals in the last six months
because of prohibition. That many few
er meals have been served at the city
workhouse during the dry regime. In
the six months ended February %, all
dry months, 1900 meals were served
workhouse prisoners. In the six months
ended February %, 1914, all wet months,
sc, 45S meals were served In the six
dry months 2O3 prisoners were received,
while in the six wet months there were
49,"

Chilly, But Pretty Weather.

Weather conditions in this vic Unity for
some time past have been ideal for out
door work. Farmers have already done
much of their blowing; many persons
have spaded their entire gardens and did
considerable planting. Tuesday morning
the air was very cold, caused in meas
ure, by the passing during the night of
a small snow storm over this section.
The wind was very strong portion of the
night, and it is reported to have done
damage to wires, fences, and buildings
in the county. To the present time bet
ter weather could not be wished for by
people who are moving, the roads being
free of mud and the sky clear of clouds.

Establishing a Fire Record.

Everybody is trying to hang up record these
days. Fire Chief Miller also got into the game
in November. He wanted to see Richmond es-
tablish record of passing thirty days without
fire loss. And his wish was fulfilled There
was no fire loss.
There's a reason for it, too. Fire Chief Mil
Ter always has been booster of Fire Prevention
Day and of the annual Cleanup Day in spring.
When these days drew near, the fire chief sound
ed the tocsin call to clean rubbish, old paper, rags
and other combustible stuff out of garrets, barns
and cellars. The tangible reward for his inter-
est is the enviable record which has been estab-
lished in November.
Why not make the record monthly one ?
Of course, the fire risk is always with us, but
the risk can be kept down to a minimum if citi-
zens will observe precautions and strive jealous
ly to reduce the fire hazard by removing COM
bustibles as fast as they accumulate. -.
Christmas is drawing near. This is q day
that old fire fighters fear. Cotton and tinsel
stuff placed below and on Christmas trees are
invitations to fires. Even where the utmost
caution is employed, lighted candle will often
set fire to strand Of tinsel and in few minutes
the tree is ablaze and the home is threatened
Keep tinsel and connbustibles off the tree.
The most acceptable Christmas gift the city
OF Richmond can give the fire chief and the mem
bers of the department is a month of December
devoid of fire.
