The Public Schools.

The attendance at the public schools is
not as good as it ought TO be. Some are
still out on account OF measles or other
sickness but some are careless rather than
sick. The teachers are using every pre-

are now we'll but not in school the teach
ers and other authorities will welcome
information concerning them.
The regular teachers meeting will be
held on Friday afternoon of this week
from three 10 five O'Clock. The first half
hour will be given TO observation Of the
regular work in the intermediate grades.

spent largely in considering the best
methods OF teaching spelling. Parents
who are interested in this phase OF our
work will he welcomed 10 that meeting.
Next Tuesday night will be given 10 a
meeting for all persons in the community.
This programme will be under the i'm
mediate charge of the farmers school
committee. but its purpose is 10 benefit
all classes OF people in The district. Many
of the public school children will partici-
pate in the evenings programme. b.

Patriots In This Family.

Letters to relatives in this county from
the family OF Rev. Frank Aglionby in
London give some extremely interesting
sidelights on war conditions in England
Rev. Mr.. Aglionby, who is brother OF
John o. Aglionby, of Shenandoah juno
ton, and of Miss Jeanette Aglionby, OF
Charles Town, is minister of the Epis-
copal Church. He has the distinction OF
having five sons in the service OF their
country, one as chaplain with the army,
and three as soldiers in the army in France,
and one son in the British Navy. His
two daughters are undergoing hardships
almost as trying as the military service.
In the early part OF the war they did
"canteening." that is. carried hot coffee
and other supplies TO the soldiers drill
grounds in the vicinity OF London. One
of the daughters the past summer lived
on a farm, and assisted with the farm
work, feeding stock and making hay.
All are grateful that no casualties have
occurred in the family.-AdpOcGte.
Appropriate to the above, John o. Ag-
lionby, of Shenandoah Junction, has just
received letter from one OF his nephewS,
who is in Egypt with his regiment, in
which he says: al am writing this by the
light OF a candle in the desert"

An Enjoyable Amateur pIav.

One OF the most pleasing home talent
plays that has ever been rendered in
Shepherdstown was given in The firemen's
hall Monday evening and was repeated
last night. Crowded houses were present
at both performances, and the proceeds
were very gratifying to those who man.
aged the enterprise. The play was a
domestic drama entitled "Valley Farm
and while full OF humor, al the same time
it had its emotional features. The cast OF
characters was as follows:
Harold Rutledge, young New Yorker,
Mr. Floyd B. Matthias Perry Deane, a
son OF the soil, Mr.. Jack Snyder; David
Hildreth, New York lawyer, Mr.. R. o.
McBrien; Silas Holcomb, owner OF VAL
ley Farm, Mr.. Kirkland Mckee /; Azariah
Keep, a clock tinker. Mr.. Richard l..
Spohn Jennings, servant at the Rutledge
mansion, Mr.. Andrew F. Long; Hetty
Holcomb, country flower, translated to
city soil, Miss Ethel Scott; Isabel Car
ney, niece 10 David Hildreth, Miss Dali
las Arthur; Mrs. Rutledge, Harold's
mother, Mrs. Phineas Rush; Alvira Hol-
comb, sister of Silas, Miss Elizabeth
Melester; Lily Ann Tucker, who bor-
rows, but "never gossips," Mrs. NJ. E.
Spohn Verbena, hired girl at the farm,
Miss Glenna Carper.
The amateur actors performed their
parts in the most creditable style, and
there were touc, es OF real genius in some
OF the character delineations. Indeed,
we think that there has never been a
home play that was better done, and
only the kindesf comment can be given.
We know that the audience thoroughly
enjoyed both performances. Mrs. Robert
Gibson had trained the players most ex-
cellently, and Richard L. Spohn arranged
the stage settings very cleverly. Music
between the acts was furnished by the
Shepherdstown Orchestra.

Money For Farmers.

President Wilson proved that he was a
distinct friend of the farmer last July when
he advocated the enactment OF the law
known as the Federal Farm Loan Act"
which received his signature July q, 1916,
and which provides an easy and salts
factory manner by which farmer may
borrow money for the purchase Of land,
for farm equipment, buildings or for The
purchase OF improved stock
The Federal Farm Loan Act carries to
the farm the same privileges and advan-
tages that the building and loan associa-
ton in Shepherdstown brings TO the
builders of homes here. Mosto us know
that many many homes have been built
in this community through the agency OF
the building and loan association, which
lends money TO home builders and per-
mits small weekly payments until The
loan is cancelled.
The u. S. Government comes along
now and says 10 the man who has enough
money 10 buy one-half Of small farm
that he can borrow the balance from the
government and pay it back in small
semi-annual payments in five, ten, fifteen
and even forty years.
Ii says TO the man who owns his farm
and wants 10 build better barns, silo, or
who wants TO get better type OF stock,
that he can secure the money from The
government and pay il back in easy pay
ments. To the man who has debt on
his farm and who finds it hard to make
payments large enough at the end OF the
year to cancel note, the government
says that il will lend money 10 lift the
mortgage and then the loan can be paid
back in small payments. For example {:
II you want TO borrow 5000 you can do
so ifyour farm is valued at $1,000 and
you can pay il back as follows:
10 annual payments OF S27l.74 each. or
IS annual payments Of s2O4.92 each, or
20 annual payments Of sl7436 each, or
Is annual payments OF Sl56.46 each. etc.
BY this plan you pay little more than
the interest each year, and at the end Of
10, Is, 20 or Is years the debt is cancelled.
Should there be as many as ten men
needing money in this vicinity who would
like to know more about it or who want
to try it, you may secure this information
from the undersigned. The plan will be
presented at the farmers week also.

The Bug Joint At the Junction.


There is talk again OF new union sta
ton at Shenandoah Junction, and 1t is
said that blue prints OF the proposed i'm
provement are being considered by the
officials OF the B. 6 o. and N. & w.
roads. Unfortunately for the travelling
public, however, there is no definite in
formation as to when, if ever, the new
station will materialize. Conditions in
the wretched howell where these two
great railroads compel their passengers
TO await trains and where their employees
are forced to work are absolutely dis
graceful. The old shack is so badly in
tested with bugs oil various sorts that no
one stays inside except from absolute ne
cessity. The other evening some one
looked inside the ladies waiting ROOM
and saw the women seated on their suit
cases, which were grouped in the center
OF the floor. A procession OF reaches,
waterbugs and other obnoxious creeping
things were travelling around and around
the walls and the benches, and the ladies'
could do nothing else than give them the
right of way. AShepherdstown man and
his wife landed at the station recently,
and had a couple of hours to wait for a
train. The lady stood the bug perform
ance for about live minutes, and then
she left and sought refuge at a private
house. Her husband had to remain to
keep the reaches from carrying oil the
baggage, and he saw more strange crea-
lures than man with the iimjams would
imagine. There is talk of appealing to
the State Public Service Commission to
investigate conditions at the Junction.
Ten minutes investigation ought to be
amply sufficient.

Letter From A Preacher.

Campbellsvllle, KY, Jan. q, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Snyder-Enclosed find draft
for subscription to the Register. have
read with interest ard approval the COM
ments that approve OF your advance in
subscription price There is only one
other thing that has not been advanced
and think il should be-a minister's
salary. Why not II isn't what his
preaching is worth, but the cost Of his
support that is supposed TO be met. Let
me see an editorial on the subject, if you
approve, and oblige yours most cordially,
A. g. LINK.
Brother Links suggestion that the sal
aries OF the ministers should be raised in
order that they may be enabled TO meet
the increased cost of living is so reason
able that no one can fairly object 10 If.
But the devil at our elbow I'VE OF course
refer to the printers devil says that
preachers salaries ought to be fixed on a
different basis. He says that the salary
of preachers in the country and smaller
towns is like the price OF butter in these
places-it is all graded alike and you pay
as much for poorest as for the best. He
says that he thinks that there should be a
distinction where there is difference ;
but when We asked him by whom the
distinction is to be made and how, he
couldn't answer. He did say, however,
that il congregations weren't so chinchy
,here'd be no trouble on this score. If
each church member would give dollar
or two more each year-wllich all ofthem
could afford-many minister would be
freed from cares and burdens that he
should not be required TO carry.

Carrying Booze On The Trains.


Train men on the passenger trains oil
the Norfolk & Western Railway ere being
greatly annoyed these days by the nulner-
GUS employees of the company who are
using their free passes 10 run jug lines be-
tween Hagerstown and points in Virginia.
One day recently conductor said that he
had more deadheads aboard than paying
passengers, and nearly all OF them had
suit-caseS filled with booze that they were
carrying from Hagerstown. He was a
good deal exasperated at the conditions,
and expressed the hope that the company
would take some action in the matter.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad recent
ly issued an order that no employee trav-
cling on a pass would be permitted to
carry liquor OF any sort with him on the
train, diSobedience of the order TO be fol-
lowed by cancellation OF the pass. It
seems 10 be about time for the N. & w.
TO make similar rule.
The Hagerstown Globe has the follow
ing item concerning the carrying of liquor
from that city: "Varnie Kendall and Ellis
Atkins, of Boyce, Va, were arrested at
the N. & w. passenger station on Satur-
day by Officer Golden on the charge OF
being drunk and disorderly. They were
before Justice Bitner Monday morning
and each paid fine and costs of So 43.
When leaving police station they asked
for some liquor which was on their per-
son when arrested, but they were told
the liquor was gone" They had be-
tween two and three gallons OF liquor in
a suit case when arrested. They said
they were over q, although The one es-
pecially did not look it,"
