AN APPEAL BY THE PRESIDENT.
Needs of the Nation Set Forth in Hour
Of Supreme Crisis.

ton of any kind, no inefficiency or slack
ened power. To the merchant, let me
suggest the motto: "Small profits and
quick service;" and to the shipbuilder,
the thought that the life of the war de-
ponds upon him The food and the war
supplies must be carried across the seas,
no matter how many ships are sent to
the bottom. The places of those that go
down must be supplied and supplied at
once To the miner, let me say that he
stands where the farmer does: The work
of the world waits on him. If he slack
ems or fails, armies and statesman are
helpless. He also is enlisted in the great
service army. The manufacturer does
not need to be told, hope, that the ma
ton looks to him to speed and perfect
every process; and want only to remind
his employees that their service is abso-
lutely indispensable and is counted on by
every man who loves the country and its
liberties.
Let me suggest also that everyone who
creates or cultivates a garden helps and
helps greatly to solve the problem of the
of the feeding of the nations; and that
every housewife who practices strict
economy puts herself in the ranks of
those who serve the nation. This is the
time for America to correct her unpar-
donable fault of wastefulness and extra
vagence. Let every man and every
woman assume the duty of careful, pro-
vident use and expenditure as a public
duty, as dictate of patriotism which
40 one can now expect ever to be excus-
ID or forgiven for ignoring.
In the hope that this statement of the
needs of the nation and of the world in
his hour of supreme crisis may stimulate
those to whom it comes and remind all
who need reminder of the solemn duties
of a time such as the world has never
seen before, beg that all editors and
publishers everywhere will give as prom
inent publication and as wide circulation
as possible to this appeal. venture to
suggest also to all advertising agencies
that they would perhaps render very
substantial and timely service to the
country if they would give it widespread
repetition. And hope that clergymen
will not think the theme of it an unwor-
thy or inappropriate subject of comment
and homily from their pupits.
The supreme test of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act and serve
together!
WOODROW WILSON.

Owing to the recently large increase in
tina authorized strength of the Navy, a

M. Gall of near Thurmont, will be pleas
ed to learn of his promotion to the rank.

Special Meeting Notice.

The ladies of Thurmont and comm un-
ity are asked to come to a special meet
ing in the Town Hall on Thursday even
ing, April 10Th, at 7.30 o'clock at which
time Mrs. T. B. Hayward. the head of
the Red Cross Volunteers for Frederick
county will be present and explain the
object of the Volunteer Red Cross work
in connection with the war.
At the same time full and complete
organization will be effected for this dis
trict. All who can come are urged to do
so. Gentlemen are also asked to come
and encourage this splendid work.
separate and distinct organization to
be known as,the Frederick County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross Society
was formed in Frederick Monday night.
While the organization was the outgrowth
of the formation of Woman Auxiliary
to the Frederick County National De-
tense Association, it was brought out
that the Red Cross work is so important
that it would be we'll to undertake it IN
the name of a separate organization.
Mr. Joseph d. Baker was elected chair
man, Judge Urner vice-president, j. T.
Thomas treasurer, Ernest Helfenstein
secretary. The work that will be taken
up by the Frederick Chapter will be au-
thoritative, and under orders from the
American Red Cross.
The following article brings out very
clearly the Idea in organizing the work
all over the country:
"Do you know that as an American
you have the right to become a member
of the Red Cross? That by paym ent of
small annual dues and little unseltish
service you can support government.
Your circumstances may not permit you
to engage in field work. Few members
CAM. But you can help; your family and
friends can help by becoming members
of this society and by actively support
ing your local Red Cross chapter. Your
help is needed now.
"The American Red Cross is chartered
by Congress. 1t is the only volunteer
agency for relief commissioned by the
Government in case of war or overwhelm-
ing disaster. The President of the Unit
ed States is president of the Society.
"No other agency provides SO practical
an opportunity for helping humanity in
time of great crisis when the need is
urgent and the measure of relief must
be prompt and adequate"

Flour $1,000 Per Barrel.
Advanced 80 Cents Here On
Monday Last.

Monday of this week for some reason
wheat was advanced some 10 or IL cents
per bushel on the Baltimore market, and
before seven o'clock that evening flour
in Thurmont had advanced 80 cents per
barrel. The eighth sack that sold at 6
o'clock for $l.4O, at o'clock sold for
$3.50. The laborer getting SITS per day
therefore could buy one sack of flour and
have rs left to purchase meat and gro
ceries for his family. One merchant here
sold all the -four he had at $l.4O, but
others took the advance price. The mil
Ter who secured big stock of $l.25 to
81. so wheat ia the fellow who is now in
a position to pile up fortune. Hun
dreds will be made rich, while thousands
will be made go almost begging.
A section of the appeal made by Pres
ident Wilson to his countrymen has not
yet made very deep impression. He
says:
"This let me say to the middlemen OF
every sort, whether they are handling
our foodstuffs or our raw materials of
manufacture or the products OF our mills
and factories: The eyes of the country
will be especially upon you. This is your
opportunity for signal service, efficient
and disinterested. The country expects
you. as it expects all others, to forego
unusual profits. to organize and expedite
shipments of supplies Of every kind, but
especially food. with an owe to the ser
vice you are rendering and il the spirit
of those who enlist in the ranks, for their
people, not for themselves. shall con-
fidently expect you to deserve and win
the confidence of people of every sort
and station"
Other commodities such as sugar, cof-
fee, tea, etc are adv'n"inr. sugar now
81 cents wholesale with the likelihood OF
a war tax being adj ID i the near future.
Potatoes are retailing at 81 60 per bushel
and customers are buying them by the
S and 10 cents worth.
New York, April lG attributed by
dealers to an unreasonable panic among
housewives" flour prices advanced about
rs cents barrel here today, some fancy
spring patents being held as high as Sl4.
1t was asserted that housewives in some
instances are stocking up year or more
ahead, fearing still higher prices. Dur
ing the hot months much of this flour
will spoil, it is added.
Crop conditions have been reported i'm
proved lately and dealers contend that
normal buying on the part of consumers
would do much to keep prices down.

Why Consultation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they become
obstructed by constipation part of the
poisonous matter which they should carry
off is absorbed into the system, making
you feel dull and stupid, and interfering
with the digestion and assimilation of
food. This condition is quickly relieved
by Chamberlain Tablets. Obtainable
everywhere.

Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many as the
most delightful season of the year, but
this cannot be said of the rhematic. The
cold and damp weather brings on rheu-
matte pains which are anything but
pleasant. They can be relieved, however,
by applying Chamberlain Liniment.

FOUR SENATORS
ARE ONGROUND

To be on the ground early and get
acclimated to Honolulu's weather and
ways four senators from other islands
are already in town as the advance
guard of the coming legislature.
There are also a few representatives.
One of the new senators is George
Kamauoha, who; from the way he is
keeping his eyes open and his mouth
shut, may be destined to become the
wise old fox of the session.
Kamauoha of Kona, Hawaii, is one
OF the oldest in political experience in
Hawaii and his service dates back to
the time of the house of mobiles in the
days of royalty. He has little to say
ABOUT what he will do and would not
even commit himself on the appropria-
tion to bring the congressional party
here, although other legislators believe
he willfavor that.
One thing Kamauoha did say, how
ever, and with emphasis, was that the
people up in Hawaii wanted roads.
I'VE would like to have the tourist
visitors come to Hawaii and travel
around on good roads," remarked the
senator. we have some fair high
ways, but we need some more"
Other senators who have arrived
from the other islands are Senator
Raymond Makekau and Senator Rob-
ert' Hind of Hawaii and Senator Will
liam T. Robinson of Maui.

NEW YORK, NJ Y.-More than
100000 has been pledged to the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium by mem
bers of the Rocky Mountain Club of
New York, it was announced recently.
The money originally was subscribed
