FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week February 7th, Cohan & Harris
present the best play in rs years,
ON TRIAL,
by Elmer L. Reizenstein; original New
York cast and production.
Novelty is the key note of many of the
Conan and Harris plays, and ION Trial.
which ran so long at the Chandler Thea
ire, New York, possesses that charm to
an eminent degree.
1t is the story of trial for murder on
circumstantial evidence. The wife of
the victim takes the stand and begins to
tell of the telephone call just before the
murder, when telephone bell really be-
gins ringing, and you have hardly time
to count sixty before the scene changes,
and what the witness is actually testify
ing, you see enacted before your eyes.
1t is wonderful transition at the end
of which you are brought back to the
court, where the final scene takes place.
A vein of comedy and romance inter-
mingles with the other incidents of the
play that has held so many almost spell
bound by its remarkably unique theme
and action.

Thurmont Pays Fine.
Town Hall Assessed $50 Under
Special Revenue Law.

lOWn Hall ASScSScu COV OhuCA
Special Revenue Law.
At the session of the 63rd Congress
numerous laws were passed placing special
taxes on hundreds of articles, proprietors
of theatres, museums and concert halls,
for the purpose Of increasing the Inter-
nal Revenue of the United States.
Many towns throughout the State have
hall similar to our Town Hall, and it
was question at the time of the pass
age of this law whether or not such
Halls were subject to this special tax.
The law went into effect November /,
1914. The Commissioners Of Thurmont,
whether having knowledge Of the law or
not, let the matter drift and everything
went smoothly until several weeks ago
when Mr.. w. C. Brenaman applied for
license for his Picture Parlor in this
place. 1t was then that the revenue
officers learned that pictures were being
shown in Thurmont, and soon an officer
came to Thurmont to look up matters.
AS we understand, taxes for the six
months from July 1st to December 81,
1915, were collected and a fine of so per
cent of the amount for this period i'm
posed. Taxes for the six months ending
June 80, 1916, were also collected, max
ing the total amount $3.50.
Since the collection of this tax consid-
cradle comment has been made in regard
who should pay this revenue tax. the
Commissioners of Thurmont or Mr.. Lewis
O'Toole, who has been showing pictures
in Town Hall. The law says. ''proprie-
tors of threatres, museums and concert
halls, where a charge for admission is
made, shall pay, etc.
As we view the matter, the town must
pay the tax, as the town is proprietor of
the Hall, and does not lease the Hall to
Mr.. O'Toole, the shows being run COM
mission basis. If the picture shows were
eliminated, it is not plain to US whether
or not the $50 tax per year would or
would not have to be paid. The Hall
might then come under the clause which
says, mot including halls or armories
rented occasionally for concerts or thea
trical representations. The law is as
follows:
"Proprietors of theatres, museums,
and concert halls, where charge for
admission is made, having a seating ca
pacity of not more than two hundred and
fifty, shall pay $25; having seating ca
pacity of more than two hundred and
fifty and not exceeding five hundred,
shall pay $50; having seating capacity
exceeding five hundred and not exceeding
eight hundred, shall pay SIS; having a
seating capacity of more than eight hun
dred. shall pay 500. Every edfice used
for the purpose of dramatic or operate
or other representations, plays, or per-
formances, for admission to which en-
trance money is received, not including
halls or armories rented or used OCCASION
ally for concerts or theatrical represen-
tations, shall be regarded as a theater:
Provided, That whenever any such edifice
is under lease at the passage of this Act,
the tax shall be paid by the lessee, I'M
less otherwise stipulated between the
parties to said lease"

The Flag Goes BY.
Hats off!

A blare of bugles, ruff1e of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky,
Hats off!
The flag is passing by.
Blue and crimson and white 1t shines,
Over the steel tipped ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before US fly.
But more than the flag is passing by.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums,
And royal hearts are beating high.
Hats off!
The flag is passing by.

While the napkin like banner
Waves upon the stick!

Our Heroes.

ouI
Here's hand to the boy who has courage
To do what he knows to be right;
When he falls in the way of temptation
He has hard battle to fight.
Who strives against self and his comrades
Will find most powerful foe;
All honor to him if he conquers,
A cheer for the boy who says "No!'
There's many battle fought daily
The world knows nothing about;
There's many brave little soldier
Whose strength puts legion to rout.
And he who fights sin single-handed
Is more of hero, | say,
Than he who leads soldiers to battle,
And conquers by arms in the fray.
Be steadfast, my boy, when tempted,
To do what you know to be right;
Stand firm by the colors of manhood,
And you will o'ercome in the fight.
1.-THE right be your battle-cry ever
In waging the warfare of life;
And God, who knows who are the heroes,
Will give you the strength for the strife.

All Things Beautiful.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by.
The morning, and the sunset,
That lighteth up the sky.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath made all things well.
