REAL LAZY MANS LAND
Where They Rise at Four in the Morn.
ing to Loaf Around all Day.

You ask a Kentucky mOuntaineer a
question which he doesn't quite grasp
and he says, "HOW?" A Tennesseean,
in like case, eXclaims, Which,
There are other differences between
the two. The former, for example, may
be lazy. but he has at least the grace
to try to conceal his shame while the
latter openly "brags on it.
'You-uns have come to lazy mans
land" drawled a soft voice that after
noon in Black Water. The speaker
was unshaven and unshOrn, and his
black eyes laughed at us with impu-
dence and easy good humor from a
wilderness of curly black beard and
tangled elf locks beneath a tattered
hat Yes, yOu-uns have sure come
to lazy mans land" tiuted the mellow
voice once more. and it was easy to
believe him that somnolent afternoon,
when all the little sun-fooded valley
lay drenched in golden dream, and
the air, drowsy in the dull drone Of
bees, hung heavy with the heat.
Next morning. however, when we
awoke in our room in the hotel at
Sneedville, at 40, reused by the clan
gor of the great bell that hung in the
hotel yard we felt there must be a
mistake somewhere. Surely this can't
be lazy mans land where folks get
up at such an hour"
We were still more impressed and
COMPOUNDED when we got down and
found that breakfast was almost over,
William A. Bradley writes in Harp
er's. But when we had finished our
own breakfast and gone out in the
street there was the entire male pop
ulation sprawled about the court
house steps across the way or seated
on chairs along the sidewalk, while
over every fence bobbed a feminine
sunbonnet Not in the whole town
did we see a single person who SEEM
ed to have anything to do, and yet
there was not one who had not risen
at four in the morning to do it.

LEARN TO SAVE MONEY
One Needn't Be MiSer to Cultivate
This Fine Habit.

One Of the best habits that young
man can form is that of saving Ger
tain part of his earnings regularly.
From the very first, when he has made
arrangements with father and mother
in the home or with his landlady as
to what he shall pay into the house
for his keep, he should make it the
rule Of his life to put something, be 1t
ever so little, away from his weekly
or monthly wages.
It's fine thing to be able to wear
a necktie that is artistic in Its color
ing, a vest that Is beautiful In it's
construction or suit that Is hobby
and hat that Is up to date. But
better than all these Is the conscious
ness of a bank account, however
small 1t may be, and the feeling of
satisfaction that comes from the
knowledge that II he is taken i'll he
will not altogether be dependent upon
his fraternal society, his family, his
friends or the cold charity of the
world.
But greater than the money that
young man can save is the character
that he is establishing. Miserliness,
stinginess, greed, are to be abhorred,
but prudence and carefulness in ex-
penditure are graces which, cult
waited, make a man a power In the
community and give to him a char
acter which commends itself to ALL
EXCHANGE

Forest and Stream Club Meets.

The regular annual meeting of the
Forest and Stream Club was held at
the Times Building last Monday even
ing. The meeting was well attended
The following officers were elected

The annual camp will be held at
their club house from August to
August -, inclusive. The next meet
ing Of the club will be held Monday
evening, June 4, and it is important
that every member be present to vote
on the amendment to the bylaws
The meeting was addressed by Mr.W
H. Killian, Conservation Commission
err, and Mr.. ]. p. Snyder of the United
States fish hatcheries. These ad-
dresses were very instructive, especi-
ally along the lines of fish cOnserva-
ton. The club is cooperating in
every way possible to increase the
supply of fish in our streams, also to
conserve the supply that is already
there. We are very much interested
in having a fish hatchery located in
Carroll county, and on Tuesday morn
ing George A. Babylon, John J. Reese
and RI. l.. Hobby, accompanied by
these two gentlemen left WeStmin-
ster early in the morning in an auto
mobile to inspect the MOnOcacy River
and the streams that empty into same.
The first place inspected was Toms
Creek. the location was alright but the
temperature of the water was GO de-
greeS. The next one visited was Piney
Creek, the temperature there was 81
degrees and they then went to the
Club House. Double Pipe Creek at
DetOur was also inspected and the
temperature there was Ga degrees
These gentlemen said that in order to
locate a hatchery SO that it could be
operated on an economical basis it
was necessary to locate on some
stream that would be suitable for the
propagation of bass and trout In or
der to be successful with trout it is
necessary that the water does not go
over so degrees and as the temperature
of our streams runs higher we cannot
hold out hopes for the hatchery to be
located in our county. However, one
located in any part of Western Mary
land will be great benefit in stock
ing our streams.
Messrs. Killian and Snyder were
elected honorary members of the club.
The club has reports from several
sections of the county that fish are
being taken from the streams with
traps and nets. This is unlawful and
it is time the citizens realize that these
laws are made for the good of all con-
cerned, that this source of food supply
should be protected and the offenders
punished

MAXWELL A FUEL SAVER.
Makes 20 4.1O Miles ON One Gallon OF
Gasoline Witnesses i'm Each

Makes 20 4.1O Miles ON One Gallon OF
GasoIine-Three Witnesses i'm Each
Car.
You have possibly heard, we sup
pose, of how many miles automobile
drivers have claimed to have made on
one gallon of gasoline, which seemed
impossible. On Wednesday afternoon
two Maxwell automobiles were given a
test with three witnesses in each car
that leads all automobiles in saving
fuel The remarkable distance OF
over 20 miles were made by each car
red tank that held one gallon Of gaso-
line was filled and connected to the
carburetor and the start made from
Klee & Hoff's garage to Hampstead
by the way of Manchester and return
and on up the LittlestoWn pike until
the gasoline was exhausted.
Car No. 1, driven by Mrs. Charles
o. Clemson, Court street, which has
been driven over 5000 miles, made a
record of 20 4-1O miles.
Car No. 2, driven by Mr.. George Hoff,
of the firm of Klee & Hoff, and own
ed by Mr.. A. c. Algire and has been
driven but 900 miles, made even 20
miles.
The witnesses on the test were
Messrs. C. o. Clemson, H. P. Gorsuch,
Charles Klee, Geo. n. Hunter, Robert
Billingslea and E. o. Diffendal.
The mileage records we're sworn to
and sent to the Maxwell factory.
A similar test was made all over the
country on Wednesday by Maxwell
dealers.

INDIVIDUAL THRIFT
Ii Means to the Man What COnserva-
ton Does to the Nation.

The movement to encourage the
people of this country to curb extrav-
agance and to save money is rapidly
growing, and it is a good thing that
it is so. We need such a campaign,
and it's gospel of thrift should be
spread broadcast throughout our land.
The American people must save. They
can no longer afford to waste.
1t was the tremendous natural
wealth of this country that made
Americans a nation of spendthrifts.
Now the end of natures bounty is
actually in sight. All of the better
public lands have been taken up. The
government is carefully estimating
our resources of coal and oil. Water
power is being developed and hus-
banded Wealth is not half so easy
to create as once it was, and for that
reason there is a nation wide appre
citation of the necessity for conserv-
ing it. Thrift means to the individual
life exactly what conservation does to
the nation.
This movement for saving money
means a good deal more than the
curbing of individual extravaganza
1t means more capital available for
the uses of commerce. 1t means that
when you have saved $1,000 you will
find it a good deal easier to borrow
another 81 900 if you have a good in
vestment in view.
