Poultry at Ha8erStOWn.

Think of it, $4,000 entries in this mon
ster show and they include everything in
pigeons and poultry. The interest in
poultry and pigeons is constantly increas-
ing-everybody seems filled with enthus-
iasm who visits this department and
everywhere you will find little knots of
exhibitors with radiant faces, admiring
the feathered beauties and swapping
stories with each other. This exhibition
is held in the largest and most complete
poultry building in America.
The children find this department one
that is filled with wonder and pleasure
for them. What boy or girl does not
loye chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, Bel
gian hares, pigeons, ETC.? Here may be
seen all the breeds of poultry that one
ever heard about and many that will be
new. Then come the turkeys, ducks,
geese, golden and silver pheasants, sea
fowls, guinea fowls, until you are simply
swamped with amazement. Every sort
of pigeon will be there, from the COM
mon kinds that we are all familiar with
to the strangely ornamental kind that
fill the onlookers with wonder.

Visits Familiar Scenes.

Numbered among those from afar Oft
who Sunday last brushed into town for
while to mingle with kindred, renew
old acquaint ances and brighten up recol-
lections of long goneby days, yea years,
was D. C. Martin who, with his family,
Berry Byers Martin and Miss Bessie
Martin, motored (Mr. Jack M. Byers at
the wheeD from their home in Hagers-
town via Braddock and Frederick to this
bailiwick, arriving at II 80 A. M. Here
the quartette were joined by the writer
and his and together journeyed up into
the wlds of Harman's gap in the Blue
Ridge range, finally settling down nearby
the electric power dam. At this stage
of the procedure there was revealed a
(as we term it) portable larder Gust
about such as Dave Martin could con-
ceive and construc) containing a most
deliciously prepared dinner, yea, feast
for the -, as we regard it. For this
kindly remembrance, tactful procedure,
and for the genuine pleasure it afforded
the writer and his, sincerest thanks and
best wishes are due to our Washington
county friends.
For the edifcation of those of our den-
liens who are not so old as myself, will
say that D. C. Martin was resident of
the western edge of town for about
twenty-three years but for the past
thirty-seven years has resided in Hag-
erstown. In the early 70's he was called
to the mayoralty of this village. He also
conducted livery here at the same time.
Later in the 7O's and early in the SOS he
owned and operated the grist mill at the
west end of town, which he sold to John
Jones in 1880. Soon thereafter the struct-
ure was destroyed by fire and the enter
prise became extinct.

Three Fires AT Westminster.

Three fires of undoubted incendiary
origin occurred at Westminster last Sat-
urday. The first was the stable of DR..
l.. K. Woodward, used as a garage. The
stable was destroyed with two automo-
biles.
About 10 minutes later the stable of
John T. Andrews, two blocks west, was
discovered to be burning. 1t also was
destroyed with horse. wagon, hay,
straw and quantity of plumbers sup
plies.
While the firemen were busy with
these fire started in the stable of DR..
Charles Billingslea, half mile east.
Here the horses were saved, but the
building burned.
The loss is placed at $4,000.
John H. Taylor, of Westminster, was
arrested at Reisterstowp Sunday on
suspicion. He was taken to Westminster
and given a hearing and committed to
Jail. 1t is thought Taylor knows who
took part in starting the three fires.

Thieving Continues.
Getting Close About Town Last
Week.

The night wandering gentry were busy
last week around our neighbor town,
Graceham. Exactly how many persons
were touched for some of their produce
and belongings is not known, but it Is
stated that Mr.. w. D. Wertenbaker lost
big bunch of chickens. The top part
of the windshield on Mr.. Adam Zentz's
automobile got away, grain from Messrs
U. e. Smith and Charles Snurr, blank
ct from Mr.. Allen Saylor. 1t is also
stated that entrance was gained to
Nicodemus' warehouse but very little
was found missing.
Sometime soon after nine O'Clock last
Friday evening Charles Baxter, huckster
of Thurmont, went to the pump to get
drink and heard a noise around his pro-
duce sheds. A few minutes later shot
from gun Baxter possesses sent some
fellow double quick over wire fence
and another shot hurried his steps thro'
the corn, the distance between foot
prints looking as though the fellow was
making long run, hop, step and jump.
Nothing was missed from the premises.
Some time between 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon and Monday morning the door
leading from the street to the G. A. K.
Post Hall, this place, was forced open.
Major George T. Castle found number
of cigarette butts on table in the Hall.
Nothing but few papers on desk had
been disturbed. This Hall is over Russell
Baxter's grocery store and it might have
been the object of those entering to OBJ
tain something from the store.
In Emmitsburg thieves are now taking
automobiles-tires, gas, and oil being
taken several weeks ago. H. M. Gillelan
& Sons garage was opened Friday night
and the car taken away. 1t is said there
is slight clue. The car was 1917
Ford, and was tracked through the alley
and to the east end of Main street.
Money. auto and tires seem to attract
the robbers. On Thursday night West
minister was visited by crowd of thieves
and at that time the store of George N.
Hunter was opened and robbed. $3.50 in
cash was taken. Auto tires were stolen
from three cars standing on Main street.
1t is about time that every person
having property of any kind keep build
ings and storage houses securely locked
and then sleep with one eye and one ear
open and have the good old splash gun
within easy reach. Very few private
garages about here have been kept lock-
ed, but it would seem that the time has
arrived to put locks on everything.
Only the finest beans on the vines were
taken from Mr.. S. l.. Shaffer's property
Monday night of this week. The thief
was somewhat particular and took of
but one variety.

Mileage To Pay For Meal.

The Baltimore & Ohio management
will try out on part of its system the
policy of allowing its patrons to use
their mileage coupons for the payment
of such incidental expenses as happen on
trains. These will include the accept
ance of the mileage coupons for meals,
for excess baggage charges, for tele-
grams and like purposes. The company
has asked the permission of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to put this
policy into effect on October Is. 1t will
be a great convenience to the travellers
when they can surrender coupon for
this service as we'll as for transportation.
1t is on the principle of person travel
ing with the letters of credit issued by
the express companies.
One effect may be to cut off the tips
given the porters on the cars and the
walters in the dining cars.
Constipation the Father of Many Ills
Of the numerous ills that affect human,
ity large share start with constipation.
Keep your bowels regular and they may
be avoided. When laxative is needed
take Chamberlain Tablets. They moi
only move the bowels but improve the
appetite and strengthen the digestion

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's Tablets. They are
intended especially for these ailments
and are excellent. Easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Obtainable
everywhere.
