Good News For Farmers.

Sales of No. 2 red Western wheat
were made at the Chamber of Commerce
Monday at $l6O bushel. This is the
top price for this grade of wheat on the
present crop movement and the fact that
the demand was fairly active at the ad-
vance indicates that the extreme price
may not have yet been reached. Between
80, 900 and 10000 bushels brought this
high price. Other lots of the same grade
sold earlier at 81 $50. Exporters were
said to have been the buyers and they
are constantly in the market for all avail
able wheat.
While the market was at its top No. 2
red wheat brought from SIS to $l.54 a
bushel. This grade comes from the near
by sections, much Of it from the Mary
land farms. This will be oh eerful news
for those local farmers who have not yet
sold their crops.
Embargoes which have been placed on
grain by the railroads serving Baltimore
are check to the freer movement of
this trade. Practically all the roads have
embargoes in some form or other now in
force. The effect of this is to limit the
buying in the West, which most of the
Baltimore exporters have done freely in
the past. On the outlook for the rail
roads in the grain and general merchan-
disc movement, an official of one of the
leading systems said they will be called
upon to move this autumn and winter
the greatest tonnage of freight ever
offered, and their facilities will be taxed
to the very utmost. 1t is to the advan.
tage of all the business interests that
their arrangements be aided by prompt
unloading of cars carrying commodities
Hundreds of thousands of tons of freight
can be added daily to the movement by
the prompt release of cars

Camp Ord Storm Swept.
Gulf Storm Strikes Hard the
Maryland Troops.

Eagle Pass, August 19.-The worst
storm in the history of South Texas
struck Eagle Pass at II O'Clock last night,
threatened to obliterate the entire camp,
and this morning Camp Ord is almost a
complete wreck, while cold. wet and
hungry soldiers huddle in the shelter OF
the few mess halls and tents left stsnd-
ing and wonder dejectedly when the
hurricane which is still raging at its full
strength will cease.
The Fourth Regiment, exposed to the
full force of the gale, suffered heaviest.
Not more than IL per cent. Of the tents
were left standing and the big frame
post exchange is mass of timber wood.
In the Fifth Regiment about so per
cent. of the tents were blown down by
the sO-mile gale and the substantial sta
BILE erected for the headquarters horses
has disappeared entirely, while the horses
and mules made wild by the chaos and
noise, have broken loose and are scattered
about the surrounding country
The storm started with light rain
shortly before IL O'Clock last night.
Most of the men were asleep in bed and
the first ntimation they had of the i'm
bending disaster was about IL 80 O'Clock,
when the canvas began to crack in the
wind with the noise of steady rifle fire.
Those who awoke ran outside just as the
first tent pegs began to pull out.
The regiment turned out in body,
and in rain that stung like pellets of hot
lead worked with almost superhuman eff
fort to save the tents. A dozen would
hold the side of tent while others drove
pegs, and at times those on the guy ropes
were lifted from their feet and whipped
across the grouLd for several yards. The
whole camp was bedlam of shouts, COM
mands, half naked figures moving about
in the uncanny light of scores of lanterns.
1t was soon seen that to keep the can
vas up was impossible, and the men
sought the shelter of the mess halls that
remained standing and there disconsolate.
" watched tent after tent crashed to the
ground.
In the First Regiment Major Mitchell
and Major Markey slept throughout it
all, and were only awakened when their
tent came ping about their ears. From II
O'Clock on not man slept a wink and
the morning broke on $500 dripping,
hungry men, most of them without
change of clothing and little prospect of
any substantial food for some time to
come.

In the role of the waif of the London
slums, in 1.-THE Dawn of Tomorrow
the great dramatic success by Frances
Hodgson Burnett, Mary Pickford, the
foremost exponent of the screen, literal

ization dominate the play and give to this
celebrated subject vitality and appeal
which even its inherent strength would
not possess without her. This latest pro-
duction of the Famous Players Film Co.
on the Paramount Program will do much
to advance its artistic standard and the
immense and almost Unreasonable pop.

Miss Pickford is particularly wei
adapted to the part of the unk empt but

hearted London waif known as "Glad. u
With wealth of opportunity constantly
at her command throughout the entire

Motorists Have Some Hunt.

Since work began on the State road
and especially on Payne's hill, persons
travelling in automobiles have some jot
getting from Emmitsburg to Thurmont.
The dirt road is fairly good between the
two places and direct when once known,
but strangers generally have to find their
way and experience some trouble owing
to the numerous roads branching Out
from the main thoroughfare.

Trouble On State Road.
Laborers Strike For Nine Hour
Day. Fight Ensues.

Work on the section of State Road i'm.
mediately north of Thurmont progressed
nicely until Tuesday of this week. The
men had been working 10 hours for 81. rs.
For some reason they became dissatisfied
and in the absence of Contractor For
scythe, Tuesday, they struck, demanding
nine hour day and the same money.
During the afternoon and in the midst
of heated argument regarding the sit
uation, two of the men, John Ridenour
and Ed. Devices, got in mixup and as
result Devices got the worst of the en-
gagement, he tripping backward over a
wagon tongue and injuring his head suf-
ficiently to cause Inconsistencies for
some hours.
Deputy Sheriff Idle was called on to
arrest Ridenour, but whether or not he
was arrested has not been learned. 1t is
said the two men settled matters peace
fully Wednesday morning.
On arrival of Mr.. Forscythe at the
works Wednesday morning the men were
found there waiting for reply to their
demands. They were told to 60 home
for the day. and if any Of them wished
to 60 to work Thu. sday morning at the
same scale they had been working, to
come to work. Deputy Sheriffs will be
on hand to see that no disorder occurs.
1t is also reported that some of the road
men and transfers were discharged, their
services no longer being desired.
