The success of the plan to organize
the farm boys over Ia years of age into
class for the study of vocational agri-
culture and related subjects seems as
sured. The boys will spend the winter
months in school work and the busy
months of the year on the farm practi c.
ing the practical knowledge they have
gained in school, The following letter
approves the plan.

My dear Mr. Isanogle:-
II have taken up with the Federal
Board in Washington the matter you
brought to my attention the other day.
and learned that the six months course,
providing for six months of supervised
practical work such as proposed by you,
will meet the requirements.
Il shall be very glad to have you work
out this proposition AS far a. yen can.
calling on US for any aid that we may be
able to give you. | feel that this is Il
movement in the right direction and will
meet specific need of the bows who

1t only remains to secure a teacher.
Good teachers of agriculture are scarce.
The class will report at the Thurmont
high school on Monday morning Dec. l.
All boys in the community over Ia years
of age not now in school should enroll in
this class at once. Call at the school
and talk it over with MIR. Beachley or
Mr. Isanogle but he sure to enroll. If
not convenient to call before, remember
to be on hard Monday, Dec. l.
We believe that this is a step which
will enable the Thurmont school to serve
its distinctly agricultural community to
a better advantage.

FINE SAFETY
 RECORD DRIVE
 BY RAILROADS

New Haven, Nov. 1-The employees Of all railroads under government control are watching with great in terest the result of the National Rail road Accident Prevention Drive, now under way.
 For the first ten days of the drive the nations railroads as whole show a reduction in accidents of 5S%o over those for the same period last year.
 On the roads which comprise the New York, New Haven and Hartford system and Central New England rail road the advance work was so thoroughly organized and such ac- tive interest aroused through the eff forts of F. w. Mitchell, superintend- ent of safety on the New Haven that by the cooperative efforts of all em- ployees, in the first ten days of the drive, they have been able to reduce the number of accidents 80@6. This places them in the lead in the Eastern Region and unless all signs fail the employees intend that they shall hold this place when the final result is an- nounced.

VOLUNTEERS ARE WANTED FOR NEW
 FASHIONS WAR

''Vounteers- 1000 sports men of good social position to wear upon a given date, new fashions for men designed to bring back color and line into masculine attire"
 This was the gist of a request the apostle of the new era of romantic dress" sought to have inserted in London papers. To convince news paper representatives of his sincerity, MT. Parkes exhibited fifteen sample suits, or, rather, costumes.
 These clothes," said the revoIa- tionist in fashions indicating a pearl gray evening dress with lace ruffles, "are not effeminate-can you call the age of Sheridan and Garrick and Walter Raleigh efecinase? It was a gallant age-and so is this The end cf every war heralds a new age. The snlartness of army regaHa has work cd a sort of dress revolution for men. They see how much finer they look with waists and in brooches, the girls like them better, they feel braverH more upright"
 The "call for volunteers was printed, but the last communique from Mr Parkes' establishment, which is to serve as headquarters during the proposed offensive on cur rent mems fashions, was to the effect that the desired war strength of l = 900 had not yet been recruited.

E. F. McBain. who went overseas for the Knights of Co., lumbus, umpired no less than 125 baseball games and several double headers thrown in for good measure which is a record for soldier games in France
 Secretary McBain started the sea- son on May 5, with the Diamond Di- vision (5th) at Mondorf-le- Rains, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. He officiated with the try outs until the divisional team was formed and went on tour all through Germany. Many other umpires had likewise started out, but proverbially speak ing many were called but few were chosen" McBain proved to be one of the few chosen, and then remained alone because the jibes and yowls of khakf-clad fans made all the others haul tail to the rear"
 "I. did not mind the joshing one bit" he said, "but the doughboys simply raised Cain with umpires. There were times when poor old 'ump' began to get Authorizations about what might happen to him.

EGG TRADE HAS BEEN TOLD 10
 STAMP PRODUCT
Dairy Commissioner Says Law Will Be Enforced
 Henceforth.

Thomas Holt, state dairy and food ginning November 15 the dairy and food department will insist on a full observance of the state egg law, which has been practically inopera- tive since America entered the war. The law requires the stamping on all eggs of the words, "cold storage '' preserved" or "incubated." as the case may be. He has written to the egg trade of the state that the law must be obeyed or prosecutions will follow, The text of the letter fol lows:-
 Chapter PA. Public Acts of 1917, provides that:-
 Section Any person who shall sell or offer for sale any egg which has been preserved by any artificial storage more than fifteen days in any place where the temperature is reduced by means of chemicals or other agents, or which has been in- cubated for twenty-four hours or more, unless such egg shall be plain ly stamped with indelibIe ink with the words :coid storage,'' "preserved' or 'incubated" as the case may be shall be fined not more than twenty five dollars.
 A short time before this act became effective I was visittd on several oc- casions by representatives of the egg trade, and the claim was made tha+ on account of war conditions it was almost impossible to get help to ever candle cold storage eggs, and that ii would be an unnecessary hardship and expense to enforce the act requiring the stamping of individual eggs.
 After a consultation with the attor- ney general it was decided not to en- force this law during the period ol the war, unless evidence was procured by interested parties and a prosecu, ton insisted upon.
 There was a strong sentiment fo1 the repeal of this act during the leg. islative session of 191S-1919 Severa hearings were held before the prop CT committee, but the 1aw-makins powers of this state refused to repea the egg stamping law.
 In view of the fact that the law has not been enforced and war con. ditions- are supposed to have ceased to exist, we deem it only fair to the trade to state that after November 5 1919; we shall expect full observance of the law, and where evidence of vio. latfon is found, prosecutions will fol low.

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 1 A party of 300 or 400 striking miners left the Cabin Creek country early today to march to Charleston, despite the rain and the orders of their dis trict officers forbidding the march, according to official information re- ceived here.
 There was no information as to whether the men were armed, and the purpose of the march was not made clear in reports receivedS z-
 The men expected to march only as far as the end of the interurban lines, when, it was reported, they would take cars for the city.
 Many miners were in the streets here this morning, but they were or derly and quiet. Four hundred fed eral troops who came in during the night from Huntington, were quar- tered in the armory, preparatory to leaving for their permanent camp in kanawah City.

Lashar Report Shows How to Get the Five Cent Fare By Appeal to U. S. Circuit Court.

Members of Labor Unions through out the city are thoroughly aroused against the zone system which is to company tomorrow. For the past two weeks the different unions in the city have taken decisive action at their meetings against the system and the action of the company has been de- nounced in no uncertain terms. The members have instructed their dele gates to the Central Labor Union to take such action as might be neces- sary to compel the company to re- scind it's action and return to the old five cent fare.
 Speakers called attention to report of the committee appointed by Mayor Wilson to investigate the conditions when the six cent fare was started and condemned the mayor for not taking action on the report signed by Walter B. Lashar which showed that the trolley lines in the city could make money on a five cent fare and that the increase was an injustice to the workingmen of Bridgeport.
 Every member was requested to at tend the mass meeting which the Central Labor Union will hold at the Plaza this afternoon following the police parade.
 This meeting is arranged as a pro- test by the workers of the city against the zone system and no politics will be allowed.
 The mass meeting arranged by the Central Labor Union for this after noon following the police parade al the Plaza, foot of John street, has ab. solutely no political significance and is simply what it is announced to be- a meeting of the members of the la Dor unions of the city to protest against the zone system on the troll ley cars and to endorse the cam paign for a return to the old five cent fare" said Fred Cederh olm, organizer of the Machinists, today.
 John J. Eagan, president of the Central Labor Union, will preside al the meeting and the speakers will be Carl Lang, former president of the c. L. IT.; Jasper McLevy and John J O'Neiu.

Don't Know Who WilI
 Protest
Mayors Committee Has Other Business to Attend to and Isn't Bothering About Five Cent Fares.

'T don't know when we will protest
 to the Public Utilities Commission. I
 have too many other things to think
 about right now" said Alderman Ed -Ward J. McManus, Jr., a member of
 the mayors committee on the zone
 system, to a Times representative this
 morning when asked what the com-
 mittee was doing about protesting g
 against the zone rates.
 Tomorrow morning the zone system
 with all it's i'll timed and unwarrant-
 ed demands on the already over bur
 dened public's pocketbook. will be
 here. From then on every man,
 woman and school child will be fore
 ed to pay exhorbitant rates for travel here. As shown at the Chamber Of Commerce luncheon last Wednesday ehere is absolutely no need for this if an appeal Is taken to the United States Circuit Court and Bridgeport branch of the Connecticut Co. separ- ated and operated as separate unit. For this branch must pay the cost Of the dead wood the company owns. At a meeting of the common coun- cil, several weeks ago, Mayor Wilson said he would take up the cudgel for the people and he appointed a com mittee to take care Of the details and he would then cooperate with them. The committee was appointed and they have met but that, according to their own reports, is about all they have done. They have talked and written a couple of letters to Hart ford, New Haven and the Public Util- ities commission and that is all. While the system imposed on a
 grunnbling public will start here to- morrow and the committee have defi-
 nite plans to take care of this nothing
 has been done As far as can be as- certained the manufacturers of the ] city have not even been asked to pay the difference in fares for their en-
 ployes.
 i DON'T KNOW 3. huaRm And now no definite plans have been formulated and members of the
 committee are not even conversan; with what is going on as they are ''too busy.''
 It is a well known fact that the Connecticut Co. fears for the success | of the system after it's failure in New Jersey as is shown by their adver- tisements instrUcting the public just what to do. It is also equally wei l known that many of the people who
 use the street cars never read the i newspapers beyond the headlines 1 and have not seen these ads.
 This is but another example of the j promises of the present administra- 1 tion. To be sure they could not 1 protest to the commission before the ! rates went into effect but they could ! have taken the appeal to the United i States Court. MT. McManus is him. . self q, lawyer and knows how to pro-
 ceed. while they could also have
 formed plans for the. protest an6 ] campaign against the system before i this late date.
