Work Begins Soon.
Good Road From Deerfeld TO
ThurmOnt Assured.

Last Monday number of members OF
the committee appointed to look after
the building of good road from Thur
mont to Deerfield. this county, went to
Frederick to consult with the County
Commissioners in regard the matter.
Considerable money has been subscrib =
ed by citizens in the valley and also about
Thurmont. The County Commissioners
favored the road as did also the Western
Maryland Railway Company, but the
amount of expense the railway offered to
bear was not what the county officials
and others thought it should be, due to
the fact that four very dangerous grade
crossings on the railroad would be elimi-
mated by the route over which the new
rood is to be built.
1t was learned that the railway officials
have agreed to pay half the cost OF grad
ing and right of way expense, and the
Commissioners have ordered Mr.. Charles
H. Brown, of Deerfeld, to have the
trees and bushes cut from the proposed
new route at once.
Surveyors will be put on the job and
surveys made and grades given, and like
ly the work will, from this time on, be
pushed along rapidly.
This section of road will connect the
State road at Thurmont and the good
road built from Blue Ridge Summit to
Deerfed several years ago. 1t will give
a continuous stretch of good road from
Baltimore and Washington to the Mary
land State Sanatorium, Blue Ridge Sum-
nit, Monterey. Pen-Mar and other re-
sorts in the Blue Ridge mountains, and
will be of grea. convenience to the resi-
dents of the great Harbaugh valley.

No Railroad Strike Now.
The Bill Passed By Congress
Relieved Situation.

KclleVcu SlCudClOn.
The strike threatened by railroad en-
ployees throughout the United States
was declared off by the four Brotherhood
officials last Saturday evening after bill
, in Congress had been passed authorizing
Eight hours to constitute day for train
men.
The Western Maryland railroad had
been preparing for the strike. On the
section of road at this place over which
Mr.. Robert Eighenbrode is foreman, the
road officials ordered the placing of IA
men to do patrol duty, watch bridges
and other property day and night. Sim
liar precaution was taken all along the
line.
Mr.. Grayson Fogle of this place, who
was visiting in Peru, ILL.,, states that
railroad at that city was building high
board and barbed wire fences around its
property last week. Mr.. Fogle thought
it meant strike sure, and he cut short
his visit and struck for Maryland soil.
These two instances show that the rail-
roads were preparing for the worst.
Since the passing of the law there
are three alternatives confronting the
roads The question now being consid-
cred is, which of the alternatives will
work the least difficulty and will be the
most economical.
EITHER the divisions of the lines, as
now laid out, must be changed 50 that
a train of loaded freight cars can make
the run in eight hours, or the size of the
trains must be reduced and their number
increased, to permit the present run to
be made in the legal time, or the roads
can maintain the present terminal points
and pay the train crews extra for all
overtime.
"These are not easy questions and can
not be determined in day or a week.
They will require the concentrated thot
of the best experts in the operating de-
partments to solve satisfactorily. The
roads have until January LIST to settle the
difficulties and put into effect the new
law.
ut is just possible that the roads may
resort to the courts to have the law held
up until the legal right to apply all pro-
visions has been judicia lily settled. This
is phase of the matter officials will not
discuss, but the impression is widespread
among bankers and business men that
the constitutionality of the law will be
tested. If injunction proceedings will
stop the placing of it into operation at
the time fixed, then it is feared the same
issue with the brotherhoods of trainmen
may be revived and the whole strike
scare be fought over again.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions Of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS

ing his friends to have this same
ambition. 1t will then not be
long before others in surround
ing villages will be coming to
this town to select from so COM
plete line of jewels instead of
depending on catalogues.
Can you not readily see how
trading at the jewelry store in
ones home town will keep the
money in circulation in his town?
Can you not also see that this,
indirectly, keep us the Churches,
builds beautiful parks and roads,
and makes the town life more
progressive and pleasant? Is it
not better to invest ones money
in this way thereby receiving a
benefit by it than putting it in
some already prosperous city?

city reads the following MAN.

you trade" Now what was

merchants? This is a good les
son for one who is in the habit
of ordering, for, how many
times does he write to that mail
order house for money for chart
table benefences, special honors
or to advance his town? No,
not once. How can he then
have the nerve to go to. the poor
struggling jeweler in his home
town and ask him for a medal or
a loving cup for this or that pa
triotic town contest? Now since
| have shown you that the best
quality of an art object comes
through personal examination
and that building up the mer-

advances the interest of the

ANNOUNCEMENTS

JOHN E. DAVIS
Spend Your Money at Home

This is one of the five letters
written by the Lanier Club as to
why it is better to spend your
money with the Droke Jewelry
Company instead of patronizing
the Mail Order Houses.
Why should one buy jewelry
at home instead of ordering it
from catalogue houses? The
main things he, who is buying
an article of personal adornment
such as jewels, should consider
are: for the purpose for which
the article is intended, and the
. merits Of the object as a creation
of art that is decorative rather
than ornamental. This jewell
should be selected to fit the one
for whom it is intended, as
though it were to be a part of
his individuality. For example a
very large cameo would be eX-
tremely out of place on a small
child's dress, while two or three
gold pins would be more appro-
pirate. Will this art object be
an ornament or a decoration?
If an ornament it will only eX-
plot itself; if a decoration it will
be beautiful and useful. Beauty
is found not in label, period or
price. Then, how can one follow
only general description and
vague pictures for a thing
of beauty? A thing of beauty is
pleasing to the eye and it may be
characterized by such minute
tones of difference in color that
adjectives would fail to portray
its charm. Wherein the same
adjectives and pictures may be
equally true in the same two in
stances, in reality, the one en-
bodies a quality of refinement
that the other lacks. How is he
who is ordering to know which
of the two he is to receive? The
utility of a piece of jewelry
largely rests on the guarantee.
Are mail order houses always
true to their guarantee? Can
they not sell articles which have
Slight imperfections, that an
ordinary person could not detect,
as excellent? Herein lies the
secret Of the tempting fruits OF
mail order houses, the low prices.
SO, he thinks he is getting it
cheap but all that glitters is not
gold". Then if finding a fault he
will let it go in preference to go
ing through so much red tape
to have the article replaced.
How much easier and better to
buy from to town store where
all articles are thoroughly ex-
amined before being put on the
market. Here he finds a COM
petent, a reliable jeweler who
knows his goods must be true
or his reputation will not allow,
him to stay in that community.
Has one not sufficient town
pride to wish the jewelry store
where he lives as large, well
equipped and as brilliant as that
Of any other town Of its size?
In order to have this kind each
Individual in the community
must do his part to help build up
the ideal jewelry store not only
by patronlzing Il himself. to his
