lmmeQlaTe ana personal, distances
dropped away and the end Of their
journey seemed as near as the be-
ginning. Across the Hudson we
could see the vast inert hulk Of the
Vaterland; in happier days the Lusi-
tania had been warped into the very
slip where our ship lay. And smaller
things than these made the war real
and personal-the wife of young
doctor saying goodbye to him, her
stiff mouth moving, her eyes dead
as glass; and a mother on the pier
staring at her son with helpless
ness, hopelessness unforgettable.
For in those swift minutes before
their departure the war seemed to
reach out and touch the coasts Of
America, and those of us who stood
with them like sponsors at baptism
assumed a promsie of their name.
Whether they or we live or die,
whether this war ends as we wish it
to end or ends in defeat and shame
for our nation, whether new wars
come in our day worse than this that
we are in, or whether-as some
think-this Is the end Of war, our
first thought must be to save and
not to destroy; to mend and not to
break; to build up and not to tare
down.

by us from the County Commissioners
of Carroll County:
Westminster, Md, May 28th, 1917.
To the Board of Education of Carroll
County,
Westminster, Maryland.
Gentlemen:-The Board of County
Commissioners of Carroll County, Md,
acknowledges the receipt Of your bud
get of expenses which you allege are
required for the ensuing school year,
amounting to $24S,390.00.
We cannot consent to levy for this
amazing amount of money for your
Board; to add this amount to our levy
would make the tax rate for all pur-
poses nearly $500 on every $4,000 of
valuation, and we cannot consent to
impose such large and, we believe,
unnecessary burden upon our tax
payers at this time, when the prices
of building materials and the cost of
mechanics and labor are excessive,
when the people are greatly suffering
from the high cost of living and when
war taxes of all kinds will impose a
heavy burden upon them.
For the year ending July |, 1916, the
School Board received from the Coun-|
ty $67 100000 and for the year ending
July 1, 1917, your Board received from
the County $88,00000, and at 40 cents
on the $4,000 your Board will receive
for the ensuing year the estimated
amount of $92,O0O00.
A short time ago we notified you
that we would not levy over 40 cents
for your Board for the ensuing year
and suggested that you govern your
selves accordingly in making up your
budget, and we see no good reason
to change our mind now, hence we re-
peat that for the ensuing year we will
levy 40 cents on each $4,000 of valu-
alton for your Board and no more.
You will have to arrange your ex-
penditures accordingly.
Yours truly,
JACOB N. DAYHOFF,
JOHN w. MYERS,
BENJAMIN F. STANSBURY,
County Commissioners of Carroll
County.

Give Uncle Sam Your Vacation.

The United States Government will
receive the services this summer of
nearly 100000 men and women, if
the Vacation Service" movement
started in New York is carried out ac-
cording to the plans originated by
F. B. Croker, formerly of Columbia
University and a past president of the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers. The movement means that
the Government will receive about
years of the time of these men and
women, who will give their vacations
to their country as their patriotic
duty. Prof. Crocker expects that his
plan will be adopted all over the
country.
"Realizing that there are many who
cannot enlist" he said, and who are
unable to participate in the Liberty
Loan as heavily as they wish, this
means of national service was evolved.
This war is the most serious crisis
the United States has ever faced-the
work of every man, woman and child
is needed to bring it to a successful
Every hour given to the
is an hour gained in
bringing the war to an early end. Un-
derstanding this, the Vacation Ser
vice movement was started. Every
one in the United States that takes a
vacation, and it is estimated that
there are five million such, can do his
or her bit by giving their two weeks
to Government work.
Thousands, perhaps hundreds of
of these are specialists in
their various trades or professions
they can give the services of experts.
Others can put in their time on the
farms helping to solve the vital food
problem of the world. Think what it
would mean to the farmers if they
were able to avail themselves of 100,-
900 years of the time of willing work
ers, who worked because they were
patriotic! There are hundreds of
other tasks in which these patriots
could help their country.
Every person willing to do this
should apply to the nearest Govern
ment depot or arrange to spend their
vacations on the farms. Organiza-
tions should be formed in every city
and these should enroll the vacation
workers and assign them to their
tasks"

ANOTHER LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Contractors Need No LicenSe-LaW
Unconstitutional.

In charging the grand jury at the
present term of the Circuit Court for
Carroll county, Chief Judge Thomas,
at the request of Comptroller Nc
Mullen, called special attention to the
license act of 1916. The result was
large number of indictments against
those who had failed to take out Ii
censes for soda water fountains, liv-
cry stables, picture shows, and those
engaged in construction. Among the
builders indicted was Paul Case, this
city. Bond & Parke appearing for him
demurrered to the indictment of con-
stitutional grounds, and Judge For
sythe declared the section of the Act
requiring a license from those engag-
ed in construction unconstitutional
because it imposes a license of $50 on
foreign corporations and a license of
$40 on local people, and this is dis
criminatory and contrary to the 18th
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. The decision il far
reaching in it's scope, as the law is a
State law. States Attorney Seabrook,
who represented the State, has referr-
ed the decision to Attorney General
for his determination of the
question as to whether an appeal shall
be taken to the Court of Appeals. "A

The closing of the business houses
and the large display of flags
throughout the town, with the large
attendance at the services and in the
cemetery, were sufficient proof that
the spirit Of patriotism is not dying
out in Westminster, and the veterans
of Burns Post, may feel assured, tnaI
with the splendid organization of the
Boy Scouts and the patriotic instruc-
ton in our schools, memorial day will
be perpetuated when the last of their
number has answered the roll call
and rejoined his comrades on the
other side.
