Another Big Snow Here.
Nearly IL Inches On The Level.
The 18th For the Season.

How many SHOWS thus far this winter
have fallen? Sunday morning the shovel
brigade was busy moving about four
inches of the beautiful that fell during
Saturday night and were glad when the
sidewalks were finished and that it was
day of rest. We were told that that
was the 18th since about November 10th.
But the worst was not down. According
to what young men say, snow had fallen
to the depth of more than an inch at one
o'clock Sunday night 1t continued fall
ing and the shovel brigade had nearly IL
inches to move from sidewalks and paths
Monday morning-the greatest fall oi
the winter. If any of our neighbor towns
need little snow. apply to Mayor Wed
die. it's free for the coming after.
Along Main street at places snow II
banked to height of about five feet anc
at places about two feet deep on the bee
of the road. Lucky we are that thus fa1
the wind has not insisted on blowing II
in or out OF town.
Another snow came Wednesday after
noon, about four inches of it, hence th'
number is 10.
The railroads had about all they want
ed to handle, the $50 eastbound trair
Monday being more than hour late. The
H. & F. trolley leaving Thurmont at 6 o.
got to Frederick in fairly good time bu'
did not get back until near the noon hour
Dispatches from Cumberland, Md, re
port 10 inches Of snow added to that pre-
viously on the ground. At Frostsbure
the SHOWS have piled up to depth OF neal
three feet. The railroads have had snow
plows out keeping the Connellsville divis'
ion of the Western Maryland open. Snow
has been on the ground ten weeks in thai
vicinity.
The fourth severe storm to sweep the
Central Western states did not do as
much damage as was expected. and Is
reported as died out. Chicago exp 'cted
another blockade, but was agreeably dis
appointed.

Everyone speaks well of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy after having it. Mrs.
George Lewis, Pittsfield, N. Y, has this
to say regarding it: Last winter my
little boy, five years old, was sick with a
cold for two or three weeks l doctored
him and used various cough medicines
but nothing did him much good until
began using Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. He then improved rapidly and in a
few days was over his cold"

GERMANY HAS
175 DIVISIONS
IsTOtal Enemy Strength on West
Front, the French Report
Work Hard Getting
Ready for Drive

Grand Headquarters Of the French
Army in France, Feb. 14-German
preparations for their announced Of
fensive on the allied front have not
brought with them any relaxation of
German vigilance or efforts to meet
any possible attack from the Allies.
New concentrations of German forces
are gathering in the rear of their lines
simultaneously with the hard work
which continues on the front line posi-
tions, where q most formidable sys-
tenn of defenses has been erected
during the winter months.
Various authorities make widely
different estimates of the number of
German divisions which may event
ually be brought into the line on this
front should the Germans decide to
engage in battle on large and decis-
i've scale. The exact total of the
German forces in the front line and
the immediate reserve is known to a
unit.
One hundred and twelve divisions
occupy the German front lines facing
the French, British, American and
Belgian troops, while their immediate
reserves total sixty-three divisions.
ION the basis of twelve thousand men
in a German division, this would be
100000 troops.)
Possibly several additional divisions
have reached various points behind
the lines, but the fact has not been es-
tablished with certainty. At any rate
it is agreed by authorities here that
the greatest possible number the Ger
mans could add to their forces on this
side does not exceed twenty divisions,
which would bring the total to 1876
divisions. (2,34O,O0O men).

PICTURES A FACTOR IN
GROWTH OF NEWSPAPERS
Carl p. BOlmar Discusses Meth.
DDS of Illustrating Used in
Periodicals

The illustrating has been an i'm
portant factor in newspaper develop
ment was pointed out by Carl P. Boil
mar, artist of the Topeka State Jour-
nal, in an address to the students in
Journalism Monday.
Although newspapers have been in
existence for more than 200 years, he
said it is only in the last 35 years that
illustrated newspapers have become
common. Up to 35 years ago the
woodcut was the only cheap, easily
made cut.
When business began to grow and
firms desired to advertise their wares
all over the country, some form of
wholesale duplication becomes neces-
sary. At this time the electroplate
process was put into service, but
newspaper illustrating really began
with the advent Of the chalk plate and
the photo-engraving processes.
"The chalk plate process is simple"
said Mr.. Bolmar, "since the picture
is merely scratched on q polished
steel plate covered with thin film Of
prepared chalk. This is the cheapest
type Of illustration for the country
newspaper 10 use"
The development Of the phOto-en-
craving processes brought about a
revolution in newspaper illustration
because it made possible the publish
ing Of the same illustration in hun
dreds Of newspapers on the same date,
the speaker brought out.
Mr.. Bolmar drew . cartoon and ex-
plained how cartoons may mold public
opinion. Every man has his own in
dividual habits and poses, and the
eartOOnist simply calls attention to
ihsm.

RAILROAD MUST RUN
SAYS FEDERAL AGENT
Insists Service Must Go On Re-
gardless Of Wage or Other
DilTerences-Plans Not
as Yet Announced

James B. Barrett representing the
department of labor Washington, d.
c., has ordered the Joplin & Pitts
burg Railway, which suspended oper-
ations at midnight Tuesday when the
carmen quit their jobs, to resume op-
erations at once. He said stoppage
of the traffic not only inconvenience
the public but reduces production of
coal, which is needed for war pur-
poses. Officials of the road offered to
turn the operation of the local system
over to the government, submit the
controversy to a federal commission
or permit the utilities commissions of
Kansas and Missouri and the inter-
state commerce commission to act as
arbitrators.
These propositions were rejected by
Barrett said. He urged
that the controversy be submitted to
the federal commission and said that
he was appealing to the patriotism of
the men not to leave their work.
1t is understood the carmen sug-
gested that the wage increases be put
into effect now, with an agreement
that the question be reopened if the
company could not meet the scale
from rates in effect March 1.
Officials of the Southwestern Inter-
state Coal Operators Association es-
timated the loss of coal production to-
day through the inability of the men
to get to the mines at 500 tons. Steam
roads are running shuttle trains. Sew
eral small mines whose only outlet is
the Joplin & Pittsburg road, are
closed.

After Five Years

Time is the best test of truth. Here
is a Parsons story that has stood the
test of time. It is story with a
point which will come straight home
to many of US.
Mrs. Albert Taylor, PA N. Twenty
eighth St., Parsons, Kans., says: "My
kidneys were weak and showed many
signs of disorder. My back ached
frequently and ! suffered from head
aches. / didn't rest we'll and mOri-
ings was all tired out. Having heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills, l used
some and they soon relieved the pains
and regulated my Kidneys"
Five years later, Mrs. Taylor said:
"The benefit DOan's Kidney Pills
brought me is lasting. ! haven't had
the least sign Of kidney trouble for
several years."

Shipping Loss Of Week Shows
Increase Over Last Week,

submarine in the past week, accord
ing to the admiralty statement to-

of 1900 tons or more and six were
under that tonnage. Three fishing
craft also were sunk.
The loss Of British shipping in the

crease over that of the previous week,
which totaled fifteen vessels, ten of
them over 1900 tons. In the preced-
ing three weeks the losses were eight,
eight and fifteen respectively.

WORLDS SHIP SUPPLY
BUT TWENTY PER Gent
Tonnage Sent Down During Past
Year Nearly Three Times
That Produced by Am
erica and England

The Food Administration estimates
the total number of ocean-going ves-
sells now afloat at 10000, having q
gross tonnage of 45,O00,O00 tons.
Losses of shipping during the war
have tOtalled about S,7SS,0S0 tons, and
the supply Of ships is about 20 per
cent short of normal.
Shipbuilding in France has been at
a standstill since the beginning of the
war; England's output is less than
normal; Japan is hampered by lack of
material; the American ship supply
is only beginning.
Ship tonnage sunk by submarines
in 1917 was nearly three times as
great as the production in the United
States and Great Britain during that
year.
This was disclosed by the announce
men of Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor
of the exchequer, in the British house
of commons that Great Britain pro-
duced only 1884 tons Of shipping
last year. The output in the United
States was 901 ,22S tons, making a
total combined tonnage of 2,064,6
while sinkings by submarines last
year generally are reckOned at 6,O0O,-
600 tons.
While complete figures on con-
struction in Japan, Italy, France and
other nations in 1917 are not yet
available. officials do not believe their
aggregate equaled the total of the
United States. II that is the case,
submarine sinkings more than doubled
all tonnage produced.
American and British officials ex-
pect very different story in 1918.
The United States and Great Britain
are speeding up shipping programs
and naval officials in both countries
have predicted that the submarine
will be curbed this summer. Secretary
Daniels believes that effectual results
will be obtained in the early summer.
Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, former
chief of the British naval staff, re-
Gently predicted that by next August
it could be said that the submarine
menace is killed" However, he pre-
dicted dark months before that time.
The output of ship tonnage in the
United States in 1918 has been va
riously estimated at from 2,500,000
tons to 100000 tons, with shipping |
board officials confident that at least |
!, SOC, 900 tons will be completed. No
estimate of Great Britian's output has |
been received, but that country is ex-
pected to materially increase its 1917 |
figures.
Japan's operations just now are
hampered by lack Of steel, but this
is expected to be overcome
and that country also is expected to
its output this year. Other
are building few ships.

GETTING RID OF COLDS

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract q second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay
in bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.
