Strictly NOn-PartiSan.

In view of the approaching Congress
sional Electon-the first since this coun-
try's entrance into the great war-Na-
tonal Headquarters of the American
Red Cross has issued statement re-
minding all members of the Red Cross
that the American Red Cross is and must
be maintained strictly non-partisan,
non-political organization.
1t is of the highest Importance, there
fore, that all candidates for office, who
are at heart sincere well-wishers of the
Red Cross, should realize that they ought
to make every effort to prevent the public
from gaining the impression that politi-
cal preferment can, or should. directly
or indirectly, be affected by Red Cross
work at home or abroad. The text of
Red Cross Service to mankind is stamped
by the approval of the American people,
regardless of politics, race or religion,
and no taint of sefishness or self-seeking
can be allowed to creep into the work,
endangering. and perhaps even destroying
its great accomplishment.
National Headquarters, therefore, re-
quests all officials of the Red Cross who
are in position of executive authority,
and who at the same time contemplate
candidacy for public Office, either to re-
sign the office which they hold under
the Red Cross, or to refrain from offer
ing themselves as candidates for cleo
ton to any National or State office.

tunity to observe how one of our most
successful growers manages and oper-
ates an up-to-date orchard

Plan to take this trip which will be

Had No Lights.

On Monday fifteen persons from this
section were called to Westminster and
fined $5.95 each for failure to have their
automobile lights turned on the evening of
July l. These persons were among our
most law-abiding citizens and the cir
cumstances attending the arrests were
rather peculiar and the violations perhaps
excusable. All these attended Chautau-
qua, the evening sessions beginning about
sundown. Going into the the tent at
this time it was quite easy to overlook
turning on the lights, while the car num-
bers were taken some time after dark
We believe, however, there are many
who violate light and traffic laws know

New Job For P0StmaSterS.
Will Sell Stamps For Payment
OF Telegraph Messages.

Since the telegraph and telephone lines
in the United States have been taken
under control by the government, the
committee in charge, composed of Post
master-G General Burleson, John c. Rooms,
David J. Lewis and Judge William II.
Lamar, has tentatively decided to make
postmasters the fiscal agents and treas
urers of the wire service in cities and
towns.
Under the proposed scheme, Col. Sher-
lock Swami will take over and merge
with the accounting department of the
Baltimore city postoffice the accounting
divisions of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Postal Tel
egraph Company. He will collect and
handle the funds taken in by the Federal
wire service just as he is now doing in
regard to the funds of the postal service.
The consolidating of these divisions
will greatly reduce the cost of operating
the telephones and the telegraph, as the
postal accounting machinery is equipped
to take charge of the work without any
great expansion.
The postage stamp will be employed
to facilitate this end of Federal Wire
Service, especially in the case of tele-
grams. Books of stamps for kilograms
will be gotten out and sold like books of
postage stamps are now sold. When
telegram is filed for transmission, the
sender will aflix telegram stamp upon
it, after the cost has been determined,
and hand it in to telegraph office, post
office substation or the main postotiice.
That stamp will serve the same purpose
as it does on a letter. If telegram is
sent collect, postage due stamp will be
affixed on the envelope by the receiving
office and the messenger boy will collect
as mail carriers do in the case of post
age due letters.
In case of the telephone, different
methods will have to be employed The
postmasters will have to send out bills
for telephone service, or IA general order
will be issued notifying all private tele-
phone users that their bills must be paid
promptly on the first Of each month or
the service will be cut off. There will
be no paying the telephone bills on the
18th of the month.
While no definite decision has been
reached, the plan Of the Telephone-Tele-
graph Committee is to place the Wire
Service on strictly cash basis, as Direc-
tor General McAdoo has placed the rail

Violations Of Road Law.
Traffic Officer Does Big Bust
ness In North End of County.

For many months past persons owning
and driving automobiles over the State
and County roads in the north end of the
county have been left unmolested by
Automobile Commissioner Baughman and
his force of deputies.
Last Saturday and Sunday the arm of
the law was extended north to Emmits-
burg and Thurmont, and regular stream
of autoists were hauled up before Ma
gistrates Cadow of Thurmont and Stokes
of Emmitsburg by deputy Smith.
Charges were preferred against these
people for exceeding speed limit, leaving
car stand on wrong side of the street,
no drivers license, no rear lights, cut
out open and passing another car on top
of hill. In fact it would have taken
several deputies to gather all violators
Sunday night. While Justice Cadow was
hearing case several cars passed by
without rear lights. Lucky for them
that the deputy was busy in his office.
Court was in session until near eleven
o'clock, both deputy and magistrate hav-
ing worked hard from noon up to that
time.
A number of cases were held open for
hearings until Monday and Tuesday.

custody at Emmtsburg Saturday night,

Des Moines, Dec. 27.-The treasury
department is calling upon every per-
son in the state who made a war saw
ings pledge to redeem that pledge in
full before Dec. 81. This makes IL
absolutely necessary for those who
have not fulfilled their pledges to COM
plete them in full at once because the
government has depended on this
money and expects 1t. With the war
over some may perhaps have felt IL
was unnecessary to redeem their
pledges, but attention is again called to
the fact that this money Is now needed
for rehabilitation purposes and to ala
in the reconstruction period In when
we are now entering.
state Director Miller issued the fol-
lowing statement:
1--WE must not put the honor Of our
state in jeopardy by failure to realize
this need of the government and our
obligation to make good on our
pledges. The people Of this state are
few days In which to buy more stamps
and redeem their pledges. The last day
on which stamps Of the 1918 series may
be bought and pledges redeemed is
Dec. 81. An stamps bought after this
date will be Of the 1919 series and will
count nothing on pledges or sales
made in 1918 for the state war savings
record of this year. urge every one
to act promptly and buy to their limit
war savings stamps for the honor of
Iowa and the honor of ourselves"
