Homecoming Celebration.
Committees Busy, But No Date
Set For The Event.

Several months ago plans were begun
for holding Homecoming in Thurmont
during the coming summer. Accordingly
a meeting was held in the Community
Club Room by representatives from the
various churches and fraternal organiza-
tions out Of which developed the Thur
mont Homecoming Association.
This organization has held several
meetings at the Club Room and appoint
ed committees to take up the various
parts of the work that are to play an
important part in an extensive program
to be prepared
The dates for the holding of the Home
coming have not been set for the reason
reason that it is desired to hold it at such
time that the boys from overseas can be
with US. The date will probably be set
for some time in the early part of July.
Full announcement will be made later on.
The program will probably cover per-
iod of two or three days and promises to
be one of the greatest events in the his
tory of Thurmont
The committees appointed are showing
great interest in the matter and will call
upon the citizens of Thurmont and vicin-
ity to help make the event one of great
welcome to our boys.
1t is planned to erect fitting memoir
ial in Thurmont to the memory and in
honor of the boys who went into the
service from this district. This has been
done elsewhere and there Is no reason
that Thurmont cannot do the same.
The Association welcomes and asks the
hearty cooperation of all our people in
this community, town and country, to
help show the boys our appreciation of
the great sacrifices they have made.
Further announcement will be made
through the newspapers and later by pos
tiers giving plans and program.
The officers of the Tharmont Home
coming Association are:
Maj. Geo. T. Castle, Chairman; L. S.

Forget What You Have Done.

Uncle Sam is no more able to pay
his present debts with money you
lent in previous loans than he was
able to meet a prevailing situation
on the battlefront in France with
men who had already given their lives
in previous drives.
Forget what you have done.
When the American soldier was
called upon fer another attack, he
didn't think what he had done, but
of what he hal to do. The Ann rican
citizen is called upon now to prove
himself worthy of what the boys did
in France.
Even when victory was remote the
men on the battlehelds went on with
enthusiasm. The people at home
were equally enthusiastic in contri-
buting funds although they did not
know how many more times they
would be called upon. Victory was
their object. They were as deter
mined to reach it as were the Ameri-
can soldiers.
How much more enthusiastic should
the nation be over the present drive
the Victory Liberty Loan drive. The
objective has been reached sooner
than expected. This is the last Lib
erty Loan.
The American army didn't fight
and fall back. 1t kept going ahead.
The American people are not going
to fall back either. They are going
further ahead this time than ever be-
fore.
American wage earners, as a class
are going to come out of the war no
richer than when they went into it,
except for the money he saved by in
vesting in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. Rents have in
creased against them while the val
lie of your farms have grown for you.
High prices for farm products have
made keener demand for farm land.
Doesn't it LOOK as if the farmers of
America owe IA great deal of their
1919 surplus to the government that
has said to them; well stand by
you through war and peace. Wen
see that you pass through the read
justment period in safety" Cannot
the Americans say in return: "You
are square, Uncle Sam. And, to
show you that we appreciate it and
are thankful for peace, Wen take the
load in lending our surplus and our
credit. We honor our occupation
and will uphold it now when you
need cash to settle for the victory
you gave us"
Money from the early loans, which
the farmer did not share heavily,
found its way to the farmer for cot
ton and food stuffs, grain and live
stock at high prices. Isn't that the
more evident reason why the farmer
should jump at the last opportunity
to return the favor to his government?
Peace must be paid for. Germany
must know America was in earnest.
The government must have cash to
pay the bills, to re-educate the wound
ed, rehabilitate the soldier and put
America once more on it's feet in a
prosperous peace. America needs
your moral and financial support.
Uncle Sam has assumed debt with
your consent. This debt will be paid.
Lending is the easiest way to pay it.
Increased taxation is another way.
Don't force Uncle Sam to raise the
taxes.
Make this Thanksgiving Loan.

Money From Liberty Loans
Has Spelled Prosperity.

In previous wars in which America
has figured the brunt of the fighting
and the burden of the loss were Shout
dered by the rural patriots of the
young republic. The young blood OF
the soil was the first to respond to the
colors, and the soil itself suffered
depradations from the armies of at
tack and defense.
But not a foot of American ground
was laid waste in the world war.
Not an American woman or child was
outraged; not an American home was
despoilcd. The draft called alike
from the crowded metropolis and the
free air of the farm. Exemptions
were effected alike for the farmers
sons and the boys in town; for the
armies of America and the armies Of
the allies had to be fed and the food
had to come from American farms.
The boys who responded-all honor
to thcm-fought with the same deter
minaton and conquered with the
same grace, whether they came from
field or street. And now America
is one of the victors.
From April 81 to May 10 the
people of the United States have an
opportunity to show their gratitude
10 the boys by subscribing to the Vic
tory Liberty Loan. The loan is nee
essary because America must pay its
bills, just as America always has
done. Our soldiers fought for peace.
Peace came. 1t is what America
wanted. 1t is what America obtained.
1t is what America must pay for.
In the first Sd second Liberty
Loans the American farmer shared
very lightly in lending to pay the war
bills. He didn't want war. None
of us did, for that matter. The eX
element of the war was conferred in
the cities, and the cites responded
wonderfully in the first calls for war
finance. The wage Garner was with
in easy reach. He was solicited.
He responded quickly. In many
cases he not only lent everything he
had, but mortgaged his pay check.
In the third loan the farmer began to
take part in lending for war. In the
fourth the records show that he re-
sponded well in the lending that
brought victory. But in the fifth, or
Victory Liberty Loan, the nation
looks to the farm for u much greater
share in this last public call for lend
ing to pay the price of peace.
Whom has the world war benefit
ed? In 1914 the American farmers
received $4,000, 100000 for their
products, wheat, corn, cotton and
live stock. In 1918 they received
$23, 900, 100000 an increase of go
per cent. The cost of producing this
increased, of course. Some authori-
ties say it increased only so per cent.
But even if it was 100 per cent this
leaves net increase Of 1870 per cent
for the farmer on his products over
1914. Isn't $50 per cent pretty
good figure for war to bring?

AS we stood beside you Alice dear,
And hung oyer your sad death bed,
And gazed upon your loving face,

And the lonely vacant chair.

INFLUENZA AND EPILEPSY.

The epileptic has always shown
considerable natural immunity to
infections of certain kinds, and his
wounds often show a surprising
readiness to heal. It will therefore
be of interest to note how he reacts
to grip, and Maillard and Bruno of
the Electra, Paris, have reported the
inter-relations of the two maladies
in La Presse Medicale. The pam
demic passed over the hospital re-
gion in two waves, in June and Octo-
Der respectively. The first fact es-
tablished was the severity of the
course Of the grip in the epileptics,
while the second was the verifcation
of the old observation that severe in
fections diminish the number OF
seizures. Third, the first wave OF
grip immunized the victims against
the ravages of the second wave.

GENTLEMEN IN THE GARDEN
Many Just Now at Work That 10
Happy Combination OF Pleasure
and Profit.

"There are no ancient gentlemen
but gardeners" said Shakespeare.
One might challenge this sentence
these days by putting modern in
place of ancient; for all the gentle
men are now doing some gardening
OF their own. If a person would look
into the back yards, from now on, he
would see very many gentlemen hap
PLY at work, enjoying a quiet dill
gence and a sweet communion with
nature. In fact, the best field for q
gentleman is in the back yard spad-
ing, planting seed, pulling weeds and
hoeing. That work comedies with
the soul as happily as the song Of u
bird. Then to watch things grow
and to join ones smile with that Of
the morning, while the promise Of
nature unfolds itself, that is solid
delight. And what joy when some
thing gets up, to part it from the
earth and carry it in triumph to the
kitchen. There is nothing so proud
in all the grand achievements of the
age as this.-Ohio State Journal.
