MillerS Blamed For The High
Price OF Flour.

1t is absurd for the millers to clam
or for an embargo on wheat exports
in order to keep down the price Of
flour, and it is also absurd, or worse,
for the millers to mark up the price OF
flour because the price Of wheat ad-
vanced suddenly under bad crop re-
port; it also fell suddenly on the en-
trance of Roumania into the war.
The millers don't buy wheat at the
crest of a wave; they carry consider
able stocks and buy when the price
favors them. The prospective wheat
crop is 3O,OO0,0OO bushels more
than domestic requirements on a
very high basis, and 100000, 900
bushels more than those requirements
on basis of consumption sanctioned
by the Department of Agriculture.
furthermore, last years crop was enor-
nous, and much more wheat than
usual was brought over to this year.

Pen-Mar Closed.

Sunday last Pen-Mar Park closed for
the season of 1916. From all reports,
the Park has enjoyed the biggest season
in its history. On the closing day the
Western Maryland railroad hauled nearly
a thousand people to the Park, and the
trolley from Waynesboro hauled another
thousand or more. The Waynesboro
Daily Herald in it's issue of Monday last
says:
'The railroad, amusement managers,
hotel men, boarding house keepers, cab
men, and all the concessionaires unite in
saying the season just closed was the
best in the history of the park, in the
way of attendance and business. The
only drawback was the enormous price
of all meats, poultry and country pro-
duce. The profits of hotels and boarding
houses were largely swept away by high
prices of all they had to buy.
A notable thing about this season, was
the phenomenal streak of luck the big
days had. Every one of them from May
80 to Knights of Pythias last week was
clear and rainless, something that has
never before happened"

Milk Dealers Say No.

The demand made upon the eight big
milk dealers of Baltimore city by the
Maryland and Pennsylvania Milk Produc-
ers Association, representing milk deal
ers of Frederick, Howard, Carroll and
Baltimore counties, was fatty turned
down last week at meeting held at the
Rennert Hotel in Baltimore. The pro-
ducers asked cent advance or 20 cents
per gallon for their milk, due to the fact
that all kinds of feed has advanced in
price, hence the cost of production made
greater.
In brief, the reason for refusal was
that the effect of such an increase in
price as was asked would be to lessen
the consumption of milk, and at the
same time to increase the supply, so that
the eight big dealers would be caught in
an agreement to pay high prices, while
lS7 small dealers, handling the other so
per cent. of the milk sent to the city,
would be able to buy at the lower general
market figures which would result from
decrease in demand and an increase in
supply. The big dealers said that would
lead to retail price cutting by the smaller
dealers, to the disadvantage of the form
er, who, paying more to the shippers,
would be compelled to charge their GUS
toners more.

Plans Night Schools.

The Washington County School
Board expects to open night school
in Hagerstown for boys from II to
16 years old who are employed and
who have not completed seven grades
in school, as required by law.
They come under the Compulsory
Educational law, which is in force
here for the first time. Suporinten-
dent Charles +. Dryden thinks it
would be hardship to the boys and
their employers for the boys to attend
school at least 100. days, as the law
requires, and he believes that the es-
tablshing of the night school would
meet all legal requirements and yet
would be satisfactory to the pupils
and their employers.

IN MEMORIAM.
Thurmont, Sept. 10, 1916.

Thurmont, Sept. 10, 1916.
The following is dedicated to the men,
ory of little Carroll David Keefer, who
died in Waynesboro, IL. 10 O'Clock Friday
morning, September 8, 1916.
He has entered the great unknown from
which no one ever returns to relate to us
the immensity, wonders, and beauty OF
our long and future home
Nature was very unkind to the little
babe for she denied him one of her great
est gifts. good health, but withall, in his
childhood, very suddenly, his Good and
Merciful Lord released the innocent little
boy from all, by giving him sure and
an easy way to heaven.
OF course we think it sad that he had
to give up the willing smiles and fond
caresses of his mamma, papa, sisters and
brother and leave them all behind, but
he had to obey the call of the Great Om-
nipotent Power over and above us all.
He was chosen to yield up his young
life to his Creator who gave him that life
for purpose.
Just for us to fathom the perfect wis
dom of our great creator would be diff
fcult task. But some things we do knoW.
We know that his innocent soul was
spared the many sins, dangers and evils
of world full of anxieties, sufferings,
mental and physical, and hopes hard to
fulfill.
Another, we feel sure of; by his being
called to yield up his all here below, he
has been given Gods choicest gift for
which so many must struggle long and
patiently.
In thinking of the little sons case
feel happy in saying that our Blessed
Lord made known to us one of his kind
acts by giving rest and sleep to his deli
cate body, and on his pure soul He be-
slowed the crown of life: and his soul
will continue with joy and happiness by
loving, praising and glorifying his all
powerful Master for having done so much
for himself, for his parents and for his
relatives.
Those whom he left here below should
labor earnestly in order to reach, one
day, his company in that immense and
long future.
