Students For Farm Work.

Arrangements have been made by the
Frederick County School Board whereby
all pupils in the Sixth grade and up will
have the liberty to remain at home and
help their parents from this time on
through the busy season on the farm.
These boys will continued on the school
rolls and their promotion will not be
affected next September, provided they
work. Cards will be sent to their par
ents who will be required to give their
boy credit for the work he does.
The record cards were made up by Mr..
Palmer. On them the parents record
the number of hours the boys or girls de-
vote to each variety of work, such as
work in garden, milking cows, care of
horses, feeding hogs, feeding cattle,
feeding horses, blowing, narrowing, cul-
tivation, planting, hauling, hauling sup
plies, milk. etc., repairing, general re-
marks. At the bottom of the card the
parent must certify that the record is a
correct and accurate one.
In many cases the boy will be big
help to his parents, and will be able to
do the work of man. And, again, if
his work is not such big lift, probably
he will learn as much as if he were OIL

The Henry Savage production of Every

the artistry and experience of that fam
Gus and successful American manager;
the presentation is no less compelling
than on it's initial revelation here-indeed
time seems only to have added to its at
Effectiveness and interest.
Walter Browns remarkable dramatic
allegory takes rank with the best as a
spectacle wherein the mirror is held up
to nature; the fable of the woman who
led by fiattery, journeys far afeld in
quest of Love, only to find after bitter
experience that it awaits her return to
the hearthstone she had deserted.
"Everywoman" is a superb presenta-
ton, dramatic spectacle worth while
with its impressive characterization,

wonderful story absorbing in intensity.

singing melodiously, dancing gracefully
and being vivacious all the while.

Railroad Men To Farm.

The Hagerstown & Frederick Railway
Company is offering its employees an OPP
portunity to do some farming and thus
provide for themselves food for the COM
ing summer and winter. From Thur
mont to Frederick and from Frederick to
Hagerstown, much valuable ground lies
along the trolley tracks. This land is
being allotted to employees who are willing
to do little farming for themselves, and
many men are taking a section or two.
Besides securing food for themselves,
they also keep clean the ground along the
track and save money for the company.
A good scheme for both parties.
