Some Heavy Fines.

On the charge of driving an automobile
while under the influence of liquor M. G.
Summers of Frederick was arrested early
last week and fined $75. This evidently
did not hurt for on Friday he was again
arrested on the same charge. This time
the magistrate said $3.50. Summers took
an appeal, giving $500 bond.
Justice j. Holm Kefauver of Middle
town fined H. A. Brubaker of Waynes-
boro, Pa, SITS last week, the latter plead
ing guilty of driving his auto while un-
der the influence of liquor. Brubaker's

Plans To Aid Farmers.

To aid in meeting the shortage of farm
labor throughout the State, the Mary
land Preparedness and Survey Commits
sion created Farm Labor Bureau Com
mittee, with w. H. Manss, head of the
Industrial Department of the B. & 0.
Railroad as chairman, and composed
chiefly of men who are closely in touch
with the supply of labor in Baltimore.
At the first meeting, held April 18th,
N. M. Parrott, of the Advertising Club
of Baltimore, was elected secretary, and
committees were appointed to begin at
once the various phases of the work.
A census will at once be taken of the
farm labor situation. Blanks for this
purpose are being sent to every County
Agent, to be filled out by the farmers,
and returned to the County Agent, who
with the Chairman of the County Agents
Advisory Committee of the County Pre-
paredness and Survey Commission will
act as local county committee to CO.
operate with Baltimore headquarters.
Meanwhile an extensive publicity cam
paign is to be started in Baltimore. VOL
unteers for farm work will apply to the
United States Employment Service,
which is earnestly cooperative in the
work. The intention is to have this bu-
reau at the. city end, and the county
agents at the county end act as the 60
between for the distribution of the help
among the farmers as needed.
This work is under way. and will be
rushed as fast as possible SO as to get
help to the farmers before the planting
season is over. Later on it is planned,
in addition, to send out gangs of men to
be housed and boarded as in construc-
ton camp, the Committee approaching
that if the farmers are to SOW greater
acreage, they must be assured the addi-
tional labor necessary during the harvest
period.

Acquiring New Roads.

Dispatches from New York say the
Rockefeller interests have purchased q
control of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad by buying approximately eleven
million dollars of the Z per cent prior
lien stock at price thought to have
been about $88 and accrued dividends.
1t is believed that this road has been
secured with a view of linking it with
the Western Maryland, which the Rookie
fellers now control, and made part of
through route to the West. Advices
from New York say that it is the inten-
ton to make line from Washington to
Chicago by means of the connection of
these roads, though exactly how this is
to be done is not clear to those who know
Of the relation of the two properties.

An Elaborate Program.
Arbor Day Exercises At High
School Please Many.

As was announced last week, Arbol
Day exercises were held in the High
School auditorium last Friday afternoon
and at the same time very appropriate
program rendered prior to the raising Of
the large flag given the school by Colum
bia Council No. 81, Jr. o. U. A. M.
Perhaps never before were SO many
visitors present at an entertainment
given at the High School, the auditorium
being crowded and many were forced to
stand in the spacious Railways at either
side of the room.
Almost the entire entertainment was
given by the little people. All of them
were decorated with flowers, vines OF
branches from some particular tree, all
having some particular bearing on the
exercises of the day and intended to
teach lesson to the young mind.
The principal feature of the flag rails
ing program was the address by Hon.
Thad. A. Wastler, of Cascade, Md. Mr..
Wastler was born in Thurmont 66 years
ago. Since identifying himself with the
Junior Order, he has travelled over the
greater portion of Maryland, visiting
Councils wherever one is found. Last
week, however, Mr.. Wastler made his
first speech in Thurmont. During his
address he received very liberal applause,
perhaps the greatest outburst following
the statement that there were but two
classes of people in the United States
Americans and traitors. -
After this the exercises in the building
came to an end. MIR. L. D. Crawford,
who acted as Master of Ceremonies for
the day, announced that the concluding
exercises would be held on the lawn in
front of the building. The visitors were
asked to occupy spaces on either side OF
the main walk. After these had left the
building the pupils left by the east
and west doors and marched to the front
of the building, going up the main walk
six abreast.
The flag, 6x1O feet in size. was then
hoisted to position on metal pole erect
ed on top of the, building, Misses Coletta
O'Toole and Mary Wachter having the
honor of hosting the flag. DR.. E. c.
Kefauver then in brief speech accept
ed the flag IN behalf of the Trustees, and
Prof. H. D. Beachley accepted the flag
in behalf of the Faculty. In his address
Prof. Beachley explained why no Bible
was presented to the school at this time,
the reason being that there are Bibles in
each room and the same are being used.
He also stated that one of the require
ments placed upon each pupil in the
future will be to salute the flag every
time they come before it. After singing
1.-The Star Spangled Banner" the exer-
cises came to close.
Many persons present expressed them
selves as being highly pleased with the
entire program. and were much surpris-
ed to learn that such admirable enter
tainments were being given under direc-
ton of our school teachers.

Maryland Quota $4,000.
This Number Likely to be Draft
cd For Armv If I .OOO. 600.

ed For Army Of 100000.
According to Adjutant- General Henry
M. .Warfield, no one, except possibly {
few insiders at Washington, knows how
the selective CONSUMPTION law will be ap
piled in determining the number of mer
each state shall supply. General War
field said he was unable to make pre-
diction.
Further, he did not know whether the
State would be called upon to recruit its
National Guard up to war strength, in
addition to furnishing the quota for the
new army to be raised. General War
field estimated that about 5000 men
would be needed to put the National
Guard regiments on a war basis as to
numbers and to build up the reserve
battalions.
However, while General Warfield was
in the dark as to the method of applying
the CONSUMPTION law in raising the new
army, and consequently as to the number
of men Maryland will be required to fur
nish, number of estimates were made
Monday. OF the more plausible, one was
based upon the relation which Maryland's
population bears to that of the entire
country, and the other upon the assump-
ton that the Federal authorities will re-
quire quotas from the Congressional dis
tricts rather than from the states, an
assumption which is believed by many to
be we'll founded.
Under the first of these methods of
estimating, it was found that Maryland's
population, approximately 1900, 900, is
about one seventy-first part of the popu-
lation of the United States at the last
census, that of 1910, which gives it as
about $4,000, 900. If Maryland were re-
CURED to raise one seventy-first part of
an army of 100000 men, her quota
would be approximately ID, 900 men. Of
course, if the army were 100000, her
quota would be 1000 men.
Under the second of these methods of
estimating. that based upon the Con-
gressional districts, it was found that
there are 435 districts, 80 that for an
army of 100000 men, each district
would raise approximately $500 men;
and as there are six Congressional dis
tricts in Maryland, the States quota
would be $500, virtually the same num-
Der as was estimated under the first
method of computation.

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance

five pointed star which they regarded as
a symbol of health. A red five pointed
star appears on each package of Cham

Hail Hits Baltimore City.
Garden Plants And Shrubbery
Damaged Considerably.

Damaged CONSIDERABLY.
Mr.. Grayson Fogle, an employee of the
w. M. Railroad residing at this place,
reported a heavy hail storm in Baltimore
Tuesday afternoon. About noon light
rain fell in Thurmont, heavy thunder be-
ing heard in the distance. Frederick
city had two thunder gusts that after
noon. Regarding the hail storm the Bal
timore San says:
"Hailstones three fourths of an inch
in diameter pelted down upon the city in
q torrential rainstorm that materialized
and was gone again in 20 minutes Tues
day afternoon.
1.-THE hail poured down at first from
seemingly clear sky. 1t was like the rat
tie of shrapnel. The stones were as large
as cherries, and they played rat-a-tat
on cars, teams and automobiles. They
rolled about the streets, looking like
food of mothballs. Within another half
minute the rain "broke", sending DEL
uge and driving everyone to cover. And
for the next ID or 16 minutes the rain
dropped In torrents,
There was no accompanying wind
and the rain and hailstones fell straight,
causing little or no damage to windows.
But scores of horses were made frantic
by the pelting of the huge hailstones,
and one team plunged away, throwing
the driver to the ground The wheels
passed over his leg and broke it.
1.-THE hailstones grew larg and larger
each minute, until wh.n they struck the
sidewalks and hattened they seemed al
most as large as guinea eggs. Some
wonderful tales will be told generation
hence of the "big ones" that fell May /,
1917.
Reports from many sections of the
city indicated that gardens suffered seri-
GUS damage from the barrage of hail.
Young plants, especially those trans
planted from hot boxes, we uprooted
and bowled over and general havoc was
wrought. Pear, peach and plum bios
SONS were struck from the trees"

The Weather.

During the past week weather condi-
tions have generally been favorable for
growing grain and grass. Several show
ers of rain have fallen, but not sufficient
to retard farm work. Warmer weather
would hasten the sprouting of garden
seeds and potatoes.
