Home Burned

The old Bowers home, occupied
by Cameron Bowers, on Lower st.
Creek, was destroyed by fire last
Saturday, the blaze originating In
the kitchen roof.
We have not heard an estimate
of the loss, but it is known that the
removal Of household property to q
a large extent was prevented by
the more urgent task of getting an
invalid mother to a place of safety.
Mrs. Bowers made her home with
her son, and being an unusually
large woman and helpless, the
work of caring for her occupied
much time and care. She had not
been out of the house for several
years.
The home vas probably one OF
pioneer history in that section, 1t
being the residence of William
Bowers, who died at an advanced
age some ten years ago. Among
the losses sustained was a stock OF
1917 maple sugar, about thirteen
hundred pounds.

Cash Basis

Owing to the unusual conditions
which exsist at present, a great
many jobbing houses and manu-
facturers are demanding very
prompt settlement of their bills,
some refusing credit to any one.
Owing to present conditions
there has been considerable discus
sion of the all cash basis, and we
find upon investigation that many
garages over the country have gone
to this basis.
The undersigned is Of the opinion
that to force all to pay cash on
delivery, will not only be incon-
venient, but may prove a hard
ship to some at times. We think
if all will give the best possible at
tention to their bills upon presen-
tation, it will not be necessary t.
operate on a strictly cash bass
Whether we are right or not, lI@S
With the consumer. Buy only wnat
is needed and have the mc2e5
ready to pay when the bill is pre-
septed and this will solve The
problem for most of us.
When credit is established with
us, our terms will be all accounts
due the first of each month follow
iun purchases. Ifthese terms are
carried out, there should be no las
months account unpaid after the
10Th Of each month. -
We do not wish any one to con-
slider this reflection on his or he
credit. for it is not, as this rule WI!
apply to all.
If you value your credit accom-
modations,; pay your bills promptly
and there will be no need OF
STRICTLY CASH BASIS. g
We wish to thank our patrons
and trust that under the new rule
we shall receive your continued
patronage, which sc will endeavo
TO merit as in the past.
Yours very respectfully,
Monterey Garage & Light Go

Aerial Routes

Establishment of aerial mail
routes Between this city and New
York is to have an interest for
stamp collectors. 1t was learned
today that a special new stamp, of
the denomination of "a cents, is to
be issued by the Post Office De-
partment for use on letters sent by
aero, in addition to the regular B.
cent stamp The new stamp is to
be in effect an aero special delivery
stamp, it stated, and all letters Of
the designated weight to which tn ;
new stamps are affixed will 60 by
the air route,
The Post Office Department is at
work on designs for the new stamps
without which no stamp album will
be complete. 1t will be possible,
Postmaster General Burleson be-
lieves, to deliver the mail dispatch
ed from here by airplane in New
York office buildings three hours
after the mail closes here.
At the start only one airplance
will be dispatched eachway day.
Mail probably will close about II
O'Clock, making it possible for bust
ness u,en to answer their morning
letters and get the answers deliver
ed by p m. 1t is the belief oil
the officials that hundreds of bust
ness firms will avail themselves Of
the service.
The mail airplanes will make one
stop at Philadelphia, but even with
this it is belived the trip between
New York and Washington will be
made in two houls, leaving ONT

WAR CAMP
COMMUNITY SERVICE
What The Work OF Organizing Club
Stands For In Annapolis. Fertile
Ground For Service

Annapolis is now War Camp Com
munity suggestion OF group of pub
lic-spirited citizens, the Capital of
Maryland which has always been
known as a military and naval centre
is now included among the many COM
muniries throughout the country that
are unifying and organizing their po-
tential resources with he principle
object of working with the man in
uniform.
Surround the camps with hospitali-
ty'' is the slogan of War Camp Com
munity Service which is a division of
the War and Navy Departments CoE,-
missions on Training Camp Activities.
Annapolis has already made great
strides in this direction and recrea-
ton rooms for men in uniform had
been established in the State Armory,
under the direction of the local COM
mites providing facilities for the COM
fort and entertainment of soldiers and
sailors.
1t is planned, with the cooperation
of those previously interested in the
project. to evolve these rooms as w.
c. C. S. Club. 1t is believed that An
napolis will become centre of war
activity. Aside from this the city on
the Severn is rich in historic wartime
memories and its affiliation with Lafa-
yette and the spirit of France makes
it a peculiarly fertile ground for SER
vice to the man who is fighting the
battle of human freedom. Not only a
community famed for its elements of
romantic and historic interest; not
only community of service; but
community of war camp service, that
is Annapolis in these stirring days.
The War Camp Community Service
has been represented by r. w. Moody
who has been in Annapolis for several
weeks

lot in the rear OF Independent No 2
Engine House from July 29th TO
August 10th. are out canvassing the
city from morning till night doing

The firemen are hard at work build
