PICTURES AT TOWN HALL.
SATURDAY, MARCH 1lTH,
"THE DANCING GIRL

Florence Reed, the celebrated emo
tional actress, whose amazing talents
have been seen to advantage in noted
Broadway successes, will be seen at
Town Hall Saturday evening Of this
week.
1.-THE Dancing Girl might have been
written for the camera, 80 full of action
ard picturesqueness in every scene, the
colorful exteriors of the rocky coast Of
"The Isle of Endellion" contrasting with
the rich interiors of the elegant home of
the profigate Duke of Guiseberry, under
whose patronage the dancing girl lives
for a time; and there is the dramatic
comparison Of the sober life of the grave
Quakers on the lonely island with the gay
life of London society and the bright
Bohemia Of the singers and artists, with
whom the Quaker girl, Drusilla, mingles
when she becomes the favorite of the
Duke. Perhaps the greatest incident of
the play is the famous staircase scene"
where Drusilla, at the zenith Of her fame,
having come to dance before the Dukes 8
own family, declares to her amazed and
angry old Quaker father, who comes in
search of her. that she wants to be "the
topmost rose on the topmost bough, and
live in the sunshine" and is crushed by
the terrible wrath of fathers curse.
Tottering for a moment beneath her
fathers scourging censure, she faints
and falls the length of the grand stair
case, and awakes to consciousness, know
ing at last the havoc she has made of her
life and the shame she is to her people.

Using Electric Energy.
New Mill At LewistOwn Doing
Big Business.

DlS DuSlAOo0s
Mr.. D. F. Shook, the agent of H. &
F. Railway at Lewistown, who also runs
a warehouse in connection Herewith, has
just recently installed new Double At.
triton mill driven by electric power and
is grinding on an average Of 100000
of feed per month.
Mr.. Shook was largely responsible for
the installation of electric energy at
Lewistown and vicinity and was the first
one to install machinery driven by elec-
tricity.
The mill which he runs has the small
grains fed to elevators from a hopper in
the building and the ear corn Is shoveled
from a wagon or emptied from sacks in
q spout outside of the building from
whence 1t passes through the crusher to
an elevator and from there to large
double bin from which it Is ground from
another side of the mill while you crush
the next customers in the other side.
When desired, small grain can be fed
from small bin to the elevator while
you are crushing and it will enter the
same elevator, thus mixing the two to-
gether before grinding and when they
are then ground you obtain perfectly
mixed feed, No farmer with such mill
at his command would buy the city feed
when he can have his own ground end
perfectly mixed, as he knows exactly
what he is getting with no adulterations.
This machine has capacity of 5000
pounds per hour; all ordinary grists can
be ground while you wait, saving an ex-
ira trip to the mill with the lost time en-
tailed.
Mr.. Snook says that the electric power
has been absolutely perfect" and so
far has always found it ready day or
night obtaining full speed the instant the
switch was thrown on. When you are
through cutting off the power permits
your leaving the machine at once; he
does not have to stop to bank fires or
pump water or take the other precau-
tions if any other power is used; heat or
old, wet or dry, low water or frozen
streams, none of the to hinder or annoy.
Mr.. Shook says that after his many
years of experience with steam and gas
he would not for a moment substitute
them for electric energy.
One should stop in and see this mill at
work to fully appreciate what this little
"giant" can accomplish in 80 short a
time. Mr.. Shook will take great pleas
ure in demonstrating the machine to any
one who may feel interested in seeing it
work.
With electric energy row within the
reach of the people of Thurmont, EN-
mitsburg, Jefferson, Middletown, Myers
vile, Boonsboro, and other places ada
cent to the H. 4 F. Railway, it would
seem that the demands of the farmers
would make the installation of the mills
a necessity in each community.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week March 18th, d. w. Griffith's
phenomenal triumph, the motion picture
sensation of the age;
THE BIRTH OF A NATION.
866 consecutive performances at the
Liberty theatre, New York.
"The Birth of Nation" the wonder
full motion picture production which
crowded Ford's last week and delighted
hundreds, will be continued for brief
season.
The remarkable success of this really
great presentation has been universal,
there is no one who is not thrilled by the
clash of great armies in scenes showing
great engagements in the Civil War, and
that the appeal is.to all types of men, is
apparent in the diverse kinds of people
to be found at every presentation Of the
picture.
Apart from the wonderful representa-
tion of the assassination of Lincoln at
Ford's in Washington, there Is success
sion of scenes of compelling interest.
Beginning with an exposition of early
slavery days, the picture takes the on
locker into the trying days of the Civil
War. Delightful romantic scenes are
placed in contrast with each dread hap
pening, and the horrors of war are for
gotten or relieved by little human touches
such as Griffith knows 80 we'll how to
give.
The burning Of Atlanta is a remarka-
BILE picture, but still more effective is
the series of scenes showing the Ku Klux
Klan on its errands of safety.
Evenings-Th prices range from 25c to
$500.
Matinees-The best seats are 25c, Soc
and $1.O0.

Fight Over Prohibition Bill.
Amendment Adopted By House
To Allow Separate Vote.

The State Wide Prohibition Bill now
claiming the attention of the Maryland
Legislature and large majority of the
citizens of the State, is having rough
handling by the "wet" element, and it
now looks as though State Wide Prohibi-
ton will not be voted on at the next elec-
tion in Maryland.
Mr.. Mcintosh, Of Baltimore county,
offered an amendment to the bill giving
Baltimore City and the counties and dis
tricts now wet, the right to vote separ.
ately on the question, and the House by
vote Of So to n favored the amend
ment. The delegates from Frederick
county voted against the amendment.
The amendment is in effect a compul-
sorry vote on prohibition; not State wide.
but by "wet" units. Baltimore city and
county, Washington county, Allegany
county, Frederick county, Havre de Grace,
Ellicott City, Annapolis and parts Of the
Fifth district of Anne Arundel county, 1t
is provided, shall vote as units to decide
the question in their respective localities.
The balance Of the State, all "dry", is
to remain as it is.
1t is expected that the Senate will do
as the House has done.

Goldfish Came From China.
First Specimen Brought TO
Europe As Gift For Nine.
POmpadOur.
POmpadOur,

The following article taken from the
Philadelphia North American may inter
est many persons in this community.
Goldfish culture is an important industry
in Frederick county, hundreds Of acres
between Thurmont and Frederick being
given over to the goldfish business. Mill
ions of these pretty little fish are raised
yearly and shipped from here to dealers
throughout the east and west The orr
gin of these fish as given in the publica-
ton is as follows:
"Some centuries ago an observant
Chinamap noticed a gay-colored carp
swimming among some other fish in .
fresh. water pool. The Chinaman did
not know it then, but the attention he
gave to that little fish started the world
in pursuit Of another hobby. And that
little carp in its gay clothes became the
father of millions of finny beauties scat
tered all over the earth. We call them
goldfish.
"The fish the Chinaman saw was prob
ably an accident-it may have been an
albino carp. He singled 1t out and bred
other fish to it. That developed the
type. Goldfish were swimming around
in aquariums and ponds in China long
before the rest of the werld saw them.
"About the year 1400 the Japanese
imported them from China. Two CEN
turies later they reached Europe. There
is story that the first goldfish in France
came as gift to Nine. Pompadour. 1t
is also known that Admiral Ammen, of
Uncle Sans navy, brought some of the
first goldfish to America and gave them
home in a pool at foot of Lemon
Hill, Fairmount Park, in Philadelphia.
descendants Of this goldfish today are
80 varied and fantastic that the China
man of several centuries ago wouldn't
recognize them. There are goldfish with
Two tails, goldfish with no scales, spotted
goldfish and others adorned with nearly
every color of the rainbow"

THE MORALS OF MARCUS"

Charles Frohman presents his popular
star, Marie Doro, in the greatest tri-
umph of her stage career, 1.-THE Morals
Of Marcus" in the latest Famous Play
ers-Paramount five-part feature, current
at Town Hall, Thurmont.
William j. Locke's scintillating roman
tic comedy, "The Morals of Marcus" at
the time of its original stage presenta-
ton, made Marie Doro one of the most
talked about stars on the American stage,
and the film version of this popular sub
ject even increases its possibilities as a
vehicle for the talented star.
The theme of the play is both absorb
ing in interest and refreshing in its orig
inality, and the development of the plot
unfolds one of the most delightful love
stories that the stage has provided in
many years. Comedy is predominant
throughout the story, but there are many
moments of pathos and one big tragic
scene that leads up to charmingly nat
ural and altogether satisfactory denoue-
ment.

CURRENT COMMENT.

This is normal year. Party lines
are being tightly drawn. The Demo-
Gratis will vote their ticket and the
Republican party is united and will
vote straight. The nation is normally
Republican. When normal conditions
prevail the Republican candidate for
president has easy sailing. Conditions
are exactly right this year and
Hughes will win because he stands for
those things upon which the Republi-
can ticket was founded-a protective
tariff for the farmers products as well
as for the goods of the manufacturer,
and Americanism.
