rs Million Campaign.
Southern Baptists Go In For
Mammoth Sum.

At the Southern Baptist Convention in
Atlanta, Georgia, in May. with more
than S, 900 Baptists assembled. it was
unanimously decided to raise rs million
dollars, for missions, in home and foreign
lands; for their more than 100 education
al institutions; for their manv orphan
ages and hospitals; for their aged minis
tiers; for the National Memorial Church
dedicated to Roger Williams and Religi-
GUS Liberty, to be built in Washington.
A Campaign Commission was appointed
with DR.. George W. Truett, pastor First
Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, as Chair
man, and one member from each of the
Southern States. At meeting in Atlanta
early in June, the Commission met and
made out plans for raising the rs million
dollars. DR.. l.. R. Scarborough, presi-
dent of the Southwestern Theological
Baptist Seminary, Fl. Worth, Texas,
was elected General Director, and his
headquarters established at Nashville,
Tennessee. Five of the Commissioners
were appointed as Campaign Directors,
to whom the details of organization were
committed. Mr.. j. H. Anderson. OF
Knoxville, Tennessee, awealthy merchant
was made chairman.
At meeting composed of nearly 200
representatives from every phase OF the
denomination life and work. in Nash
vile, July End and 3rd, complete pro-
gram and organization for the campaign
were effected. Each of the Southern
States will be organized, with the State
Secretary of Missions as General Direct
or for that state.
The name of the campaign is baptist
rs Million Campaign" The time of the
big drive will be November Both to Dec
ember 7th. This will be called "Victory
Week." at which time cash and pledges
payable in years are to be raised to the
amount of more than rs million dollars.
Three million Baptists are to go in and
put it over. 1t is to be the greatest and
most meanngful movement ever inagu-
gurated by Southern Baptists. Its issues
to the cause of Christ are incalculable.
This money will help every phase of re-
ligious life represented by Baptists thru
out the whole world. 1t is expected that
every Baptist Church, more than 20 thou
sand of them, and every Baptist member,
more than 3 million, will put themselves
in great fashion into this move ment.

What Does The Prohibition
Code Prohibit?
Law Not Unreasonable In Its
Demands.

There is so much transformation about
the provisions of the Federal Prohibition
Code, that it will be of value to know
just what the Code does not prohibit,
said Wayne B. Wheeler, General Counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League of America.
1t does not prevent the possession of in
toxicating liquor in a private dwelling if
the liquor was secured before the law
goes into effect. 1t does not permit a
search warrant to be issued for such
liquor in private dwelling. 1t does not
prevent the sale of alcoholic liquors. for
non-beverage purposes such as medicinal
mechanical, art, scientific, industrial or
any other such purpose. 1t does not
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
soft drinks containing not more than
one-half of one per cent alcohol by vol
ume. 1t will not interfere with the sale
of alcoholic extracts, under the proposed
Amendment from the Judiciary Commit
tee, unless they are sold for beverage
purposes. 1t provides complete machinery
for the develop nent of the industrial al
cohol industry. 1t does not prohibit the
manufacture. sale, transportation, ex-
portation, furnishing, receiving or pos
session of Intoxicating liquors except as
authorized in this act. 1t does not speci-
fcally authorize in Section 35. of the act
that liquors secured before the law goes
iuto effect may be possessed in private
dwelling. This provision is more liberal
than those. found in the laws of the pro-
. hibition States. The liquor cannot be
seized even though the home is turned
into speak-easy. Liquor in home
which is a speak-easy should be subject
to seizure. In this respect it should be
and doubtless will be changed.
Every section of the proposed bill ex-
cept the one last referred to, has been
tried out in the States and found to be
necessary if the law is to be enforced.
. The effort to make it appear that the
law is drastic is part of the Brewery
propaganda. The friends of prohibition
/ will not ask for unreasonable or. unpre-
'cedent provisions.

Dan9erOuS To Complain.

The Union Bridge Pilot, in its issue of
last week, says:
'Taneytown is complaining about NOS
quito breeding places and feels the Coun-
ty Health Board should be reso rted to.
Better not do this or you may receive
notice to install complete sewerage
system and in the meantime still continue
to propagate these little but mighty
blood-thirsty insects. Union Bridge is
not without its insect breeding places
insects perhaps that have never yet been
classified by the bugologist.
Union Bridge had some soclamed UNI
healthy places within her limits and COM
planned to the County Health Board, the
result being that the town authorities
were ordered to install complete sew
erage system. Rather expensive COM
planning, and others should take warning.

Milk Men To Meet.
Every Farmer Should Attend
And Hear Address:

The Thurmont Milk Producers Associa-
ton will hold a meeting in the Thurmont
High School on Monday evening, July
2Sth at $50 o'clock.
This meeting will be of more than or
binary interest to every farmer and per-
son engaging in agriculture in this COM
munity, and every effort should be made
to attend.
President = Harry, and Secretary
l. w. Heaps, of the Maryland Milk Pro-
ducers Association will be present, and
several men from the Maryland Agricul-
tural College are expected. These men
will explain the new conditions under
which milk will be sold after August LIST,
and also tell why certain breeds of cattle
are preferable for producing milk.
As we understand, the price for per
cent milk in Baltimore after August 1st
will be 81 cents per gallon. All milk
will be tested by State Inspectors en-
ployed by the Milk Producers Association
and every shipper paid for the quality of
milk shipped. the scale varying half
cent per point above or below the stand
ard. Hereafter it is stated there will
be no need to have a mixed heard of
cattle. The reason for this will be fully
explained at this meeting. Other inter-
esting topics on milk and its production
will be explained also.
Mr.. David G. Zentz of near Thurmont
is probably the largest milk producer in
this part of the country, and he is of the
opinion that the milk business is yet in
its infancy. He fully expects that in
the not far future city people will go to
the grocery store and order so many
pounds of milk, instead of a pint or quart
each morning. Dried milk is now being
produced, the finished product resembling
to some ext ent graduated sugar. 1t is
put in barrels the same as sugar and is
guaranteed to keep six months.
Don't forget the meeting Monday
evening. Attend it, and receive enlight-
ment on the subject producing and sell
ing milk

Victor Messner. was shot at his home at
"Blue Blazes"4 miles west of Thurmont
and near the Hartman property. 1t is
not known exactly who did the shooting
but according to the child's story it was
boy. and the boy had a rife. The
party was using shot shells. The shot
struck the child from head to foot. He
was taken to Frederick City. Hospital
for treatment. The boys parents are
inclined to think the shot was fired by
one of number of boy scouts who are
camping in the mountain west of town.

Shoe Prices Will Increase.

Prices of shoes are expected to advance
this fall, according to retail merchants.
The increase probably will be 20 per
cent. on some grades of shoes, while
other jumps from 5 to Is per cent. will
be- announced on other qualities. The
price of shoes now is comparatively low,
it was said, when it is considered that
the price of leather has risen consider
able the past year. The jump in retail
prices is expected to equal the difference
between the cost of leather and the fin
ished product.

Burglars Busy Again.
Stocksdale's Warehouse Enter
ed Sometime Saturday Night.

|
For several months past things have
been quiet around town, so far as bur-
glary goes, but Saturday night thieves
again got busy and made raid on Geo.
w. Stocksdale's warehouse.
Entrance to the building was made by
smashing pane of glass in window on
the north side. Through this opening
the party put his hand and removed a
stick over the lower sash. Raising the
window he crawled through and over a
big pile of plaster and was in the large
wareroom. To make sure of escape he
opened large door leading to the porch.
To get into the storeroom it was neces-
sary to get open another door. Evident
ly fearing being detected he did not use
an axe, but began boring and continued
until the door frame fell apart.
Once in the store, the large safe claim
ed attention. This safe is never locked,
tag bearing the combination figures
being kept hanging on the knob. Papers
kept in the safe were scattered about
the floor, and one small drawer in the
vault broken.
A few pennies kept in the drawer were
taken. The money drawer under the
counter was not molested. From among
the hardware it is thought several flash
lights, screwdriver, wrench and ham
mer were taken. A box of 38-caliber
cartridges was left on a showcase.
On going to the store Sunday morning
Mr.. Chas. Stocksdale discovered the
building had been entered. 1t was thot
the thief was after money, from the fact
that so little goods thus far has been
missed.
This is the third time the new building
has been robbed. and Mr.. Stocksdale
says he expects to be robbed any Satur-
day night. The only clue left was foot
prints on lot of plaster sacks but it
would be very difficult to ran down the
thief by footprints alone.
