Westminster Boy i'm Peck of Trouble.

What would probably have been
a most daring holdup has been pre-
vented through the arrest of Chas. S.
Noel, 19 years old, who says his home
is in Westminster, and Theodore Fine,
II years old, of 222 South Caroline
street, Baltimore. Both youths we're
arrested Wednesday. Both admit they
had planned to assault and rob the
nightclerk in the store of the Nattans
Drug Co., at Franklin and Howard
streets. A revolver and piece of iron
bar were recovered after the arrest,
the former the effects of Noel, while
the iron bar was found in a hand bag
belonging to Noel. The detectives
had been on the lookout for Noel, who
was wanted by them on a charge or
defrauding Mrs. Sadie Gardner out or
a board bill amounting to $24. The
scheme, as told, was to call the night
clerk to the back iof the store where
Noel was to have been secreted by
Fine, just before closing time. Revol+
vers were to be thrust in his face, and
if. he then resisted the iron bar was
to be used to silence him. In the Ell
fects of Noel the detectives also re-
covered a number of articles, which,
they say, he admits having stolen from
a wholesale drug firm when employed
by them before going to work for the
Nattans firm.

SAW FRANCE FROM SKY.
Charles BOylan, Baltimore, Writes
About Flight Which Made Him
Eligible As Aviator.

Charles BOylan, one. of the Balti-
moreans who was admitted to the
United States aviation service a few.
months ago, has had a bird 's-eye view
of France. He got this view a few
weeks ago when he ascended 10000
feet on trip on which he qualified for
aerial service. He is now taking
special course in the hydroaeroplane
service somewhere on the coast OF
France.
This information was conveyed in a
letter from young BOylan to the Rev.
John E. Wade, pastor of SITS. Philip
and James Catholic Church. Boylan,
whose home is at 2813 Hampden ave-
nue., is a member of SITS. Philip and
James parish. In his letter to the
priest the young aviator said that he
enjoyed the sensation of his first high
trip, and that France, with it's rivers
and forests and villages, looked from
his lofty perch in the aeroplane like
some flower garden. He said that
when he returned to earth there was
buzzing and a ringing in his ears
as if he had suddenly gone deaf.
At the services in the church Sun
day Father Wade asked the people of
the parish to pray for the safe return
of Boylan, whom he did not mention
by name.
Mr.. Boylan is a native of this city,
having been born and raised in a
residence on Liberty street.

CAMP THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR FOOD SUPPLIES

Why is Uncle Sam like George
Washington ?
Because he cannot tell a lie.
So, when he assures us-as he did
last week, through the State Agricul-
tural College, in its letter to Mr.
Kinzy, Agricultural Agent for Car
roll county, that he absolutely has no
intention of Communicating or taking
away from US, or in any way debating
as to the private stOres-such as pre-
served fruits, jellies, vegetables, etc,
put up by our women of Carroll; and
when he goes to the trouble to re-
peat this statement through the Coun-
Gil of National Defense this week, let
us believe him. And If the time ever
comes when we cannot put out trust
in Uncle Sam-when his written word
becomes like the German treaty with
Belgium-"a scrap of paper"-in 9TH
er words: when these United States
have gone wrong tOO-well, this old
world won't be much of a place to
live in; that is all.
But until then let us believe in
Uncle Sam implicitly, for through
such a national attitude and no other,

best sense, and without this universal
cooperation, the war IN lost. And do
we stop to figure just what that would
mean to us? 1t would mean not only
hundreds of thousands Of American
lives sacrificed, but authorities tell
us, that it would also mean the paying
over to Germany by our Government

the leading soprano singer in the
Lutheran choir of Taneytown, which
gave people a special opportunity to
hear and know her. She was of d
cheerful disposition, with a pleasant
word and a smile for all whom she
met. The interest and sympathy Of
the people are attested by the fact
that at the funeral the large audi
tOrium of the church was filled to its
capacity.
Mrs. Motter was a bride of less than
three months, having been married on
June q, of this year. They had re-

the simple reason that if it is right for
one person to hoard, it is equally right
and just for everyone possessing food
stuffs to hoard them, and if all did so,
it is easy to perceive that famine would
quickly spread over our land, because
of the fact that so large a percentage
of the consumers of food must exist
upon food purchased from the CONS
paratively few, who are producers OF
it.
So play fair" with Uncle Sam for
your conscience's sake as we'll as for
your pockets; for nations prosperity
effects the prosperity of every indi-
vidual of that nation.
{ So let us, in the few canning weeks
left, load up our shelves until they
grOan with every periShable fruit or
vegetable that can be put into jar.
And get the drying habit too, If you
haven't it already this means economy
of both space and receptacles. What
is the use of conserving a lot of wat
er? Or why use a glass jar when the
! dry product may be kept in any
tight box or bag? Let us win the war
in our kitchens" as the English now
! say.
! If you should find that your gems
erous stores we're over tapping into
the winter of 1918 and 1919, never
mind; remember you may not have
as many hands to help you produce
the foOdstuff next summer as you
have had this. You may be glad OF
those extr-. jars.
Then too-while Uncle Sam does not
ask it of us--it is hoped that every
woman will reserve a generous shelf
for him, just the same; he may need
it for the families of soldiers and
sailors, or indeed for any needy ones
of our communities, before this awful
war ends; for while the poor always
we have with you" they are especially
our responsibility in war time.
And now just one more important
thing. Please, housekeepers, send in
list of the numbers of quarts of food
canned or dried by you this summer
sending it to the leader OF your diSi
trict as mentioned below, for listen to
the good news: word has come from
the Food Administration in Washing
ton, to the headquarters in Baltimore,
that Maryland stands mt the top
think of it-in this war emergency
thrift movement Not only is Uncle
Sam not going to take away your food
! conserved. but he wishes to encour-
: age you to increase them by this
: competitive registration.
