LOCAL RESERVE COMPANY WILL
 MEET TOMORROW
Details of Organization to
 be Perfected, and Tempo rary Officers Chosen.

Members of the Pine Bluff company of reserves Or guards, and those who desire to enroll, are to meet at the courthouse tomorrow evening at s o'clock to perfect details of organi- zation.
 This company is to be made up of married men and others with de- pendents, physically capable of un- dergoing military training, but not eligible for regular army service un- der the present government plan.
 Army officers are seeking to dis courage the enlistment or enrolment of married men and others with de- pendents, and in several known in stances have advised bachelors be- tween the ages of 8 and 45 70 wait" explaining that the man above 9 requires year or more of trai T. ing in order to harden him physically for the work of a soldier, and that the government now seeks the young men who are capable of being trained in brief time and possessing the stamina and strength to marchl under an army kit without undue fla tigue.
 The reserve company, therefore, is intended to supply opportunity for men to acquire training in military work and rifle shooting, and gradu- ally harden muscles, which have be- come soft through years of quiet life. The reserves will not affiliate with the state or federal organizations, but it is intended they shall be avail able for service in the event of pos sible menace to Pine Bluff peace, and Pine Bluff industries.
 It is expected there will be large crowd present at the meeting to- morrow evening, as some of the lead ing citizens in the community have enrolled or declared intention of en- rolling, and temporary officers likely will be chosen.

Beginning last Sunday afternoon re-

Opera House, Frederick, for four weeks.
These series of meetings began at the
conclusion of series of prayer meetings
held at various homes the past month in
that city. All the ministers of Frederick
are giving their support to the evangel-
istic meetings. The News says, editor
tally, that IAN the Protestant churches
of the city have joined hands to make
these meetings accomplish great and
lasting good. From the indications thus
far this campaign should bring abou. a
noteworthy religious awakening in Fred
erick. The workers consecrated them
selves to this worthy cause; and, while
earnestly petitioning the aid of the Heav-
emily Father, have been striving to insure
the success of the coming services
Scores of citizens have volunteered their
aid. One of the inspiring features of the
meetings will be the music which often
works wonders in opening mems hearts

Some "Star" Show.
Minstrel Company Come From
Frederick And Entertain
Big Crowd.

Advertising pays, and paid exceedingly
we'll the Minstrel company which gave
an entertainment in Town Hall, this
place, last Thursday evening. Large
colored posters showing colored people in
all sorts of colored costumes gave color
to the supposed high class show and peo-
pie from all sections turned out in num-
bers so that standing room was almost at
premium in the old play house.
With the company came a carload OF
friends from Frederick and other points
along the H. & F. road, one prominent
among them being Sheriff Rhoderick.
His services were not required after the
performance, however.
Some orchestra came along and gave
several selections on the public square.
Their music was good both on the street
and in the hall-the volume of sound in
the latter, however, was too much for
the vocalists to overcome, hence not
much of The songs were heard by the
audience.
Mr.. j. Folk in his song entitled Gust
Little Nonense" to the tune of ''There'll
be Hot Time" tickled the crowd most,
it being full of hits at local people.
The second part of the program over
shadowed the first part. This consisted
of an act by Prof A. Leibshutz in the
Cabinet Mystery" and another by
"Sara" and the professor in mental
Telepathy." Messls Lhy Benner and
Harry SINNERS saw that everything was
done ION the square" by the professor,
the latter even entering the mystic cabi-
net and seeing things 'one- excepting
however, the putt',l u small apron on
him. This he discovered on coming from
the cabinet. Harry laughed and SO did
the crowd
The slack wire act, the last on the bill,
was up to the STANDARD il. that line, Mr..
Devilbiss performing very creditably.
The show over, every nody seemed
happy nobody moreso than those at the
head of the affair who it is stated had
tucked in their inside pocket $500 plus
some cents.

National Song Day
Fitting|y Observed.
Elaborate Program Rendered
At ThurmOnt High School.
COMMUNICATED.

COMMUNICATED.
The patriotic program so admirably
rendered on last Thursday afternoon by
the Thurmont public school in its audi
torium was intensely interesting and
worthy of the many fitting compliments
it evoked. The friends and patrons were
prepared for such an occasion by the in
vitations so ingeniously prepared and
sent out by the elert pupils. By Up. m.
all the seats reserved for visitors were
occupied and when the school entered in
its we'll ordered way, standing room was
practically all used as we'll as all the
seats.
The purpose of the occasion was to re-
acquaint US with our patriotic hymns and
songs and to stimulate the patriotism
that is testing the finest metal in US at
this time. Certainly the purpose was
served, for all who attended were de-
lighted with the success of the program
and felt amply repaid for the tagging
interest that prompted their attendance.
Every Rart of the program went off
without hitch, and all the participants
brought credit to themselves as well as
to the splendid corps of teachers and
leaders who so ably trained the pupils
for the occasion.
america" was enthusiastically sung
by all, after which short descriptive
sketch of it was given. Drills, songs
and various exercises were given besides
the Living Pictures in Song" that were
strikingly interesting. A quilting bee
was well played; and the Boy Scouts
with uniforms, songs andexecution were
in the front ranks of success.
The school sang "Juanita" while a
maid posed. Mrs. Beachey sang The
Japanese Love Song" that was illustrat
ed by two pupils representing Japanese
love making, which leads us to believe
that love- making is romantic to others as
we'll as to Americans. Miss Ruth Firor
sang from 1.-THE Land of the Sky Blue
Water" which was also illustrated. AS
an OLD negro sat plnlng away 1or MS oiu
Virginia home class sang softly Garry
Me Back to Old Virginia. 1t makes
the writer bit homesick to see his ma
tive cline where the pickyninnies are al
most as the sand on the sea shore Tor
abundance.
The Goddess of Liberty came on the
the scene as all stood singing the Star
Spangled Banner" AS we left the
building we sorrowed because SO many
patrons and friends had failed to show
sufficient interest to enjoy such de-
lightful afternoon as had been ours to
enjoy. But we consoled ourselves by
hoping that larger crowd would be on
hand when Maryland Day exercises are
given.

Potatoes At $2.25 Per.
Mayor Preston of Baltimore
Pays High Prices at EDGE
mont.

Baltimore City officials are taking {
hand in the game of reducing the higi
cost of living. AS we understand, it Ii
their purpose to buy direct from growers
and manufacturers and sell direct to Bal
oimore consumers and thus in way e.
liminate, as it were, the middleman,sp pro-
fit, and thereby reduce the price of food
stuffs. A grand thing to do, but is the
Mayor playing the game correctly.
Tuesday morning Sun in big headline
says: "City's potato order totals 1.OO(
bushels" And in the summary states
ut is said the Mayor will have no diff.
Guilty in obtaining $1,000 bushels at that
price" The Sun further says:
Mayor Preston jumped into the ring
yesterday and began punching the high
cost of living by buying in the name OF
the city $50 bushels of potatoes at $2.25
a bushel from Edward T. Batchell, of
Edgemont, Washington county. The
Mayor notified Mr.. Batchell that he would
be willing to take as many as Thousand
bushels from him at the same price. Mr..
Batchell accepted the offer and said the
thousand bushels would be on their way
within few days. The first truckload
will be put on sale tomorrow.
No doubt potatoes have been scarce
for some time, especially during the Sc
we're cold weather at which time it was
very unsafe to disturb them on account
of freezing. The growers in the noun
tain are not in the habit of hauling their
crop during cold weather, but now that
there is no danger of freezing and that
spring is nearing and it is time to get
rid of the crop, those who have will sell
and when So. rs per bushel is offered at
Edgemont, potatoes will roll down the
mountain by the thousands of bushels.
Last week small load of spuds came
to Thurmont, $l;75 being offered by the
two merchants. but the owner held out
for So 90 and finally one bit and took the
load
Now that 50 25 is the price at Edge
mont, that will be the price at Thurmont,
for it is as easy for the mountain grow
ers to haul to the former as to the latter
place.
Had Mayor Preston said $500 and no
more for 200 bushels the chances are
he would have gotten just as many pota-
toes, and had the Thurmont merchant
said 81. rs and no more, it is most likely
the load would not have been hauled
home.
Mayor Preston perhaps will benefit
a few of the many Baltimore people, but
while he is doing so, he is also ridding
the country of potatoes and forcing
country people to pay excessive high
prices.
The crop was not large one generally,
and it is difficult to predict what the
price will be before the new crop is
ready to use.
