NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE.

after working hours, as he has hab-

Because he doesn't care boot about
union schedules or the convenience of

And suppose he doctors refused tic

Wouldn't you feel like tossing a
boquet of granite blossoms from a
quarry orchard at them?
Or supposing that one of them was
engaged in the interes ing operation of
separating you from your appendix
And about a hundred dollars?
And about the time he was in the
middle of the excavation work,
And was about to dig out your ap-
pendix and wear it for watch charm,
That the old whistle would blow and
he decided to knock off work for the
day,
And that he informed you that he
would stroll back in the morning to
sew you up,
Wouldn't it make you awfully sore |?
And we are asking you would it
be much worse than the action of the

And exposed sick persons in cold
rooms to all sorts of illness.
And who endangered the lives of lit

THE LAUNDRY JOKE.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: The next
thing we know there is going to be a
joke shortage In this country One
by one we are losing our national
Jokes. Now it is the laundry which
is about to be taken away from US.
The laundry joke has been with US
always. Ever since we began wear
ing shirts anyway. 1t has mitigated
the macerations of millions of our
shirts.
The laundry owners have national
association and they are out after the
laundry joke all over the land.
It might be supposed that the as
ISOLATION would be too busy to bother
with the busy little laundry joke, but
the members think that the business
has to contend with and they will
consider that the association has
justified its existence if it does moth
ing more than lay the laundry joke
once for all. The joke hurts because
it attributes destructiveness to the
laundry. Luke McLuke says it this
way in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
We never blame the tailor when
our pants we have to pin;
We never blame the shoeman when
our shoes grow old and thin;
We never blame the halter when
our lids we have to flout;
But we always blame the laundry
when our shirts wear out.
An incorrigible laundry joker sug-
gested the other day that if the laun
dry owners really want to extermin-
ate the laundry jokes they should
gather them all up and send them to
the laundry.

It is quite probable that the local

ty to see J. Il. Slaymaker in action
against heavyweight wrestler, John

proposition to wrestle Slaymaker in a

to those who watch the sporting pages
Of the Twin City dailies. He appears
in most Of the preliminaries at the

There has been some rumors that
the branch train service will be cut
down to one train each way a day
Railroad men, however, have heard
nothing of it. AS the coal shortage
becomes more acute railroad service
will be curtailed but on account of the
heavy traffic on the branch the service
is not likely to be affected on the
first retrenchment. With the weather
severe and coal production less than
half of normal coal economy has got
to come until the strike is settled or
broken. Morgan Messenger.

Home Coming Celebration. Dr. Chas. H. Dl||er Dead
Planning For Big Event At Succumbs TO Severe Attack OF
Frederick. Brights Disease

An effort is being made by Frederick
city to hold big homecoming celebra-
tion in that city on July 4th in honor of
the boys of the county who have arrived
home from overseas and who served in
the army and navy in this country.
The celebration will be held on the Fair
Grounds. At 2 o'clock the Yellow
Springs Band will give a concert. No
program has yet been announced through
the press and we cannot give any par
ticulars concerning what the events of
the day will be. All soldiers and sailors
in Frederick county are expected to take
part in what ever is planned for the
occasion.
In speaking of the celebration, the
Frederick News on Tuesday states that
contributions are coming in slow, only
$l72.14 being in hand at that time 1t
further says,
"The committee in charge of the Gel
ebration estimates that $1,000 will be
needed in order to make the welcome
success. Unless the people of Frederick
come across with the wherewithal during
the few days remaining the celebration
may fall through for lack of financial
support.

Demand For Sumac.

Sumac which grows abundantly in,
certain sections of the United States,
may be gathered and sold proftably
to tanners and dye manufacturers,
say the specialists of the Bureau Of
Chemistry, United States Department.
of Agriculture. The price of sumac
has increased in recent years, because
of the decrease in importations of this
plant from Sicily. The American
sumac, if properly gathered and cured
is equal to the imported article.
In certain sections of Pennsylvania, ,,
Maryland, Virginia, and West Vir-
ginia good wages can be made, the
department says, by gathering and
selling sumac during July, August
and September. Arrangements for
the sale of the sumac should be made
before it is gathered.

gives useful information regarding
the gathering, curing and sale of

AS soon as he accumulates sixteen
Thrift Stamps he may exchange them
for a War Savings Stamp by paying
the few cents additional to make up
the purchase price Of War Savings
Stamp for that month.
Thus If the Thrift Stamp saver col
leeted his sixteen stamps in May, it
then cost him 16 cents additional to
convert them into one War Savings
Stamp. In June it costs II cents addi'
tional and so on, and then on January
1, 1924, less than Ave years after the
exchange, the War Savings Stamp will
be worth SIS and the government will
pay that amount for it.
In the table below the second col
umn shws that the person who. in
vests a little more than $100 month
for eight months Of this year, will
have paid in before January 1, 1899,
$S39. On January l, 1924, this will
have grown to $1,000. The other col
umns show what the purchaser will

FOOD Is CURE
FOR B0LSHEVISM
First Aid Treatment Splendid Medi-
cine for Spirit of Unrest. How
War Savings Stamps Help.

President Wilson has asked for food
to stop the wave Of Bolshevism roll
ing westward out of Russia. No intel
ligent person doubts the value of food
IS first g d. but at bottom the secur-
ity of our institutions rests upon the
working interest the people take in
those institutions.
Citizens having no interest in gov
ernment, no economic interest in the
success of that government, are apt to
be the first victims Of vicious propa-
ganda or unbalanced political theo-
rists. On the other hand men and
women who have invested in their
government either by way of conduct
ing private enterprise under it's pro-
lection or through direct purchase Of
government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
Institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists. They may
be quite progressive and anxious for
reform where reform is needed.
Consequently the effective barrier
to Bolshevism in America today is
thrift and investment The philosophy
must reach into the workshops Of the
nation. 1t is reaching into those work
shops and into the schoolhouses of the
nation in the form OF the Thrift
Stamp and the War Savings Stamp.
When everybody in America is buy
ing Thrift and War Savings Stamps as
a habit ore won't hear much about
Bolshevism in America. 1t is the
financial and patriotic duty Of every
American who loves real liberty to
get the Thrift Stamp habit NOW.
