The reel team of the Westminster
Fire Company returned nome Satur-
dav evening in fine condition and
happy as could be over the $325 In
real green stuff which they won at
Cumberland in the hook and ladder
and reel races that were held in con-
nection with the Maryland State Fire
mems Association meet. The hook and
ladder race was pulled Off in the
morning with three contestants Brun-
swick, Western Enterprise, Hagers-
town, and our team. On account or
the ladder slipping on the slippery
street, caused Githa Miller, the fleet
footed ladder climber, to lose his
footing and speed in climbing. The
race resulted:

ond, :32 1-5; prize, $25; Western En-
terprise, HagerstoWn, third, :33 9-lO.
In the afternoon at 1.30 p. m. a
tremendous crowd lined the track be-
fore the reel races started and cheered
the victorious runners at every con-
test BY fast work and good Judgment

with the following contestants and
time.

went wild over winning SIS, and start
ed to celebrate the victory by ringing
bells and blowing whistles. When the
news was sent Westminster won $925
the citizens never as much as
congratulated them upon their sue
cess. 1t only shows the difference in
spirit of the people for their
fire companies in the two
cities. A band should have been
secured and parade arranged upon
the reel teams arrival home. We Wont
allow it to happen again. Win again

HAIGHT.

The thunder storm which visited
this section on Wednesday afternoon
of this week was severe but no dam
age was done, although there was
some hail.
Mrs. E. o. Phillips had a paralytic
stroke last week, her right side being
affected and at this writing is still in
a precariOuS condition
The festival held in the grove near
New Oakland Church on Saturday eve
ming last by the WOmen's Bible class,
taught by Mr.. VIM. Watson, was quite
a success, netting quite a nice little
sum.
We notice rust is appearing on late
sown wheat, caused by heavy dews
and rain. The early wheat is too far
advanced to be affected. Harvest will
be later than usual on account of the
late spring.
1t will be quite a relief to the trav-
cling public to know that in a few
days the section of the Liberty Road
from North Branch to the North
Branch School will be completed and
will be open for travel by the first OF
the week,
There is rumor atloat that the
Oakland road to the Liberty pike
when built is to be concrete instead
of a pike, if such is the case it will
not meet with much favor by resi-
dents here and some of the subscrib
ers declare they will not contribute
toward a concrete road. A good pike
will serve the residents need much
better and said road will cost much
/ less, as there is an abundance of stone
available without being quarried
which is expensive work and at this
critical time we think the extra ex,
pense should be taken into account.

Pen-Mar Park Opening.

mountains. Quite a number of per-

WHALE STEAK on SALE SOON.
Meat Of POrpOiseS, DOlphins and Other
Fish TO BE Offered.

Washington, June 10.-The Bureau
of Fisheries today announced that
yithin a short time the meat of whales
porpoises, dolphins and other ceta-
ceans will be placed on the market for
food to help relieve the demand for
animal meats. Whale steak it is point
ed out can be served at 10 cents a
pound against sirloin at 35 cents.
Whales and porpoises are mann
mails like cattle and sheep, and their
flesh is meat and not fish says a
Fisheries Bureau statement. In tex
ture and appearance it resembles beef,
though the color is darker red, and
the flavor is closer to that of meat
than any other. 1T is devoid of fishy
taste.
1T is likely it will soon be obtain
able fresh, corned and canned, and it
is recommended to those who have an
opportunity to purchase it."

EGGS AS WEDDING GIFTS.

In the days OF old they used to show
er the bride and bridegroom with egg
beaters by the score, patent toasterS
and heaven knows what not, but in
this day of efficiency that isn't what
happened to James Davis, mail carrier
on Route No. 3, Brook, Ind.
James got in his eggs. All his
friends banded together and decided
that with the way the cost of living
kept on soaring and May wheat kept
rising, it would be crying shame to
give him a linen shower or glass
ware shower. So they decided upon
eggs.
He received crates of them; he ac-
cepted boxes Of them; he had sacks
and cans full of them. And he was
more pleased. he says than if his
friends had decided upon half dozen
other gifts.
What are you going to do with all
Of them?" one friend asked.
James looked hurt, Don't crowd
me-" he said. We had IL for break
