FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of May oath, Geo. M. Cohan pre-
sents Mary Ryan in the new comedy
drama,
"WORD OF HONOR"
The week of May gath at Ford's will be
eventful for the premier of WORD of
Honor" new comedy drama by Sam.
Forrest, in which the successful actress.
Mary Ryan, will appear in role in which
her peculiarly charming talents have full
sway.
Miss Ryan needs no introduction to
Baltimore theatre-goers who will recall
her excellent performances in the follow
ing successes: "Brewster's Millions,
"Officer 666, 1.-The Fortune Hunter,
ION Trial., THE House of Glass" and
1.-The Little Teacher.
In "Word of Honor" Miss Ryan will
be seen as Nell, decidedly interesting
young woman who has given her word OF
honor to do certain things. In carrying
out her resolve, she and her associate
players place themselves in many situa'
lions from which the touches of comedy
in the place arise.

The services at Apples Church in com
memoration of Mothers Day was well
attended and the singing of the male
quartette was enjoyed by all In his ad
dress the Rev Heimer spoke feelingly of
the love of the Lord Jesus for his moth
er.
1t is reported that some 5000 acres of
woodland was burned over by the forest
fire last week, and some valuable timber
seriously injured. II tisherman's match
and high, dry wind may cause incalcu-
able damage. Safety first is needed
at other places aswell as along railroads.
Edward Collfower enjoyed the visit to
his home town on Sunday. He was sur
prsed and delighted to hear his brother
Robert sing bass solo in the morning
sci vice.
The evening services at the church are
increasing in interest. THERE'S no doubt
but that the singing by the choir has
much to do in drawing the attention of
strangers to these services. On Sunday
night as they sang Let Jesus Shine In
many were led to resolve to listen to the
call for higher life. 1t is a delight to
hear Mrs Zimmerman grip the high
notes and send her voice pleadingly thro
the church.
Whit Sunday has always been very
important day in the church year at this
place. Not only the active members,
but the oldtime friends, are glad to come
to the lovefeast and communion, and
while they enjoy these services to re-
me mber the good times in the Sunday
School and at the lovefeasts of long ago.
Their cheering words serve to encourage
those who. with loving hearts and busy
hands, are hoping that the church may
renew its days of old.
Pen up your biggest rooster and make
few extra pies and cakes. You don't
know how many automobiles will bring
visitors to your door these fine May Sun
days.

The above article is taken from the
Middletown Valley Register of last week.
Ii is to be regretted that Thurmont gets
such advertising, but when such sinking
tricks are pulled off, somebody needs
more than advertising.
From what we can learn of the matter,
the boys doing the egging are small, per-
haps from s to u years of age, and as
stated above, sit can hardly be said that
It was done of their own initiative" yet
- place the blame on the club seems to
rs N injustice.
Whether done in or out of the taxable
limits Of Thurmont, the matter should be
thoroughly investigated so that the blame
ran be directly placed and justice given
chose included in the egging.

Showed Poor Sportmanship
Thurmont Boys Play Dastardly
Trick After Defeat By
MiddletOWn Team.

Last Monday afternoon as the Mid
dletown High School baseball team was
returning from Thurmont, where they
had just defeated the High School team
of that town by score of 8 to 3, they
were subjected to dastardly trick on
the part of some Thurmont boys. just
as they reached the outskirts of the town
rotten eggs were thrown at two OF the
machines of the Middletown team, one
being the new Oakland sedan of DR.. A.
A. Lamar, which was badly splashed up,
the egg breaking over the inside of the
machine on the plush lining and over Ed
gar Bakers clothing, one of the players,
who was in the machine. In the machine
were also Mrs. Lamar and her son Aus
tin, who was driving the car. The other
was the Odsmobile truck belonging to
the Model Garage, containing a crowd of
"rooters," among them being number
of young ladies', one of whom had her
hat and clothing badly splashed.
GAS this act was perpetrated by small
boys, it can hardly be said that it was
done of their own initiative. The Thur
mont team has lost every game they have
PLAYED so far this season, and they dis
play very poor sports'nanship in time of
defeat.

Rogers in time viii develop into one

experience before facing eXperinced
men. The cath infantry champ has a
large following in Columbus and the

which he can acquire
