Xmas Fund Boxes.

The pretty litlle glass bowls that at
tract your attention on entering places
Of business have been distributed by
members of the local Red Cross The
money you see in them is for Christ
mas fund for the Maryland boys who
have been called to serve their country
and any amount you feel like contrbut-
ing will be greatly appreciated by the
Red Cross and more SO by the soldier
boy who shares in the distribution prior
to the Christmas holidays.
The movement was started by the Bal
timore Sun and is heartily indorsed by
Joseph E. Kuhn, Maj General National
Army, who says,
''The plan is certainly meritorous and
deserving of cordial support. No day is
so trying to the soldier, in camp or field,
as Christmas which is so essentially a
home affair.
"To make the soldiers Christmas an
occasion of cheer and gratitude affords
an opportunity to all who are kindly and
sympathetically disposed towards the
defenders of the honor and safety of our
beloved country"
The boxes are open for your bit.

Our School Opens.

Monday morning, September TO- found
our school population vending its way
to our school building. The enrolment
was greater than that of any previous
year. Owing, however, to scarcity of
labor on the farm and to busy season
in the factories, the high school attend
ance was not quite equal to that of last
year The usual teachers are in charge
of the grades below High School. Two
new instructors have been added to the
High School faculty-Miss Edna Engle,
of Yardley Pa, who takes the place
made vacant by the resignation of Miss
Wineman, and Miss Nunia Browning, of
Myersville.
Our High School now tax es rank as
first group school, provided the average
attendance can be kept above 70. There
is still some High School material in
Thurmont and the surrounding communi-
ties not enrolled. The hope is expressed
that advantage be taken of this oppor
tunity by our young people. The patrons
of our schools are earnestly requested to
visit the teachers and pupils many times
during the year.
The following is complete register of
the teachers, their work and the enroll
ment:
Miss Linnie McGuigan, 1st grade, 40.
Mrs. Anna Jones, End grade, 33.
Miss Grace Henshaw, 3rd grade, 81.

Government Denies It.
Will Not Take Food Supplies
From Pantry,

For some time past the report has
been current here and everywhere oyer
the country that the Government intend
ed making demand upon all families
who laid up supply Of canned goods and
other provisions for the winter, for a
certain amount of same. People were
not very favorably impressed with the
idea and had such a demand been made
likely officers collecting would have met
with some stiff opposition.
The following article in which the
Government denies the report was pub
lished in city papers Tuesday morning.
1t says:
"The ubiquitous German agitator ap-
pears to have been getting in his under
mining work in relation to the food con-
servation effort of the United States.
Thomas B. Symons, of College Park,
director of the Office of information,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, has sent statement to the Wom-
ems Section, Maryland Council of De-
fense, with the request it be made wide
ly public in all the counties of the State.
"Mr. Symons states that it has come
to the attention of the agricultural SER
vice that there are rumors in some Sec
tions of Maryland that the Government
expects to take some of the food supply
put up by individual families and that
the information that comes to the Agri-
cultural Department from the Govern
ment states that it believes this kind of
propaganda emanates from German
sources.
"The Government issues emphatic de-
nial of the report that it is going to COM
mandeer the housewives pantry"

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty. That
is because they neglect the liver and
bowels. Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will not only
feel younger but look younger. When
troubled with constipation or biliousness
take Chamberlain Tablets. They are
intended especially for these ailments
and are excellent. Easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Obtainable

have been reported.

party, none were seriously injured. The
buggy was completely wrecked. The
automobile was badly damaged. The tires
were stripped from both right wheels
and the front axle forced back under the
center of the car. The tenders on the
right side were crushed.
Mr.. Thomas Baker was accidently
struck by an automobile near the Thur
mont garage Saturday evening. Too
much light from a number of cars is said
to have blinded the driver of light car.
Baker was thrown backward over front
wheel fender, his face being scratched
when landing on the ground.
Sunday sometime, two automobiles in
some manner hooked front wheels on the
State road about half mile south of
Thurmont and as result both got into
ditch Neither car was injured to any
extent, and none of the occupants in

struck a COW owned by a Mr.. Nunemak-
er at Catoctin Furnace. The COW was

ed over her. Objecting to being under
meath, the cow gave hump and tossed
the car to the side of the road and into a
ditch. One of the ladies went through
the top. Shoemaker was caught under
the car. Mr. C. w. Lidie, who was close
by with his family in his car, rendered
first aid and succeeded in liberating
Shoemaker. The car was damaged but
was able to run under it's own power.
The COW, like many do, is said to have
made a sudden turn across the road
directly in front of the car, the driver
being unable to avoid striking her. She
was injured very badly, Mr.. Lidie took
the passengers in his car to their home,
his family returning to Thurmont by
trolley.

selective CONSUMPTION.
The plan put forth by President Will
son will call every single man between
the ages of 10 and 25 to the colors. This
selection will nearly depopulate the min

give the United States as husky and
athletic bunch of men as war ever
called.
Most ball players are young men.
Those in the majors are, for the most
part, just above the limit set by the

composed almost entirely of youths Just
starting up.
Stars of the game like Cobb, Speaker,

The big story today is on the sudden
advance of IS cents a hundred for su
gar. About week ago the hint was
given that sugar might advance even
as high as 10 cents a pound this sum
mer, but no one expected it to go 7t
cents higher over night
Pork chops and lamb chops are get
ting to be so high priced that it is now
quite the thing to economize by eat
ing rice which has not put on as yet
any war figures. Hence the following
poem is appropriate:
Mary bought little lamb,
But when she learned the price
She sent it back to the butcher shor
and ate bowl of rice.
