THE PARABLE OF THE CLEAN
HOG AND THE POSTOFFICE

Behold, there was an husbandman,
which dealt in swine, and he invested
the profits Of his husbandry in yet
other swine so that he prospered. and
his animals were content and Of a
round and jolly aspect.
Now certain favorite SOW brought
forth seven goodly sons and three
fair daughters. Among these sons
was one which surpassed all the
others in comliness and wisdom, an
his mother set him above all her
children, and he ruled over them and
they obeyed him. And he hourished
and waxed great, even as Joseph Of
old. And he was larger and had a
greater appetite than all his breth-
rem.
In the fullness Of time il came to
pass that he reached maturity and
became a young hog. And he re-
joiced in his strength and he said un-
TO his mother, "Yea, give me thy
blessing, and will depart and go in
to distant place, and see new scenes
and travel in foreign cline" And
she blessed him and said, GO" And
he went.
On the first day Of his travels he
came unto a city, and the gates there
Of being open, he entered in, and
passed through the market place and
before the doors Of the money
changers. And he drew nigh unto
an house which is called post
Office" And when he had looked
and said. "Why doth not this man
clean his stahe?" And having al
inquiring mind, and there being nor =
TO stay him, he entered and abode
there for little season. But be-
coming uncomfortable, he shook him
self and said, "Yea, like not this
place." and being an hungered, he be-
gan 10 long for the flesh pots Of
home, and he returned TO the house
Of his mother.
But his mother and his brethren
saw him afar off, and smelled him,
and they lifted up their voices and
said, Behold, our brother returneth,
and is an hungered and cold, but
wherefore smelleth he thus?
And when that he had approached
nigh unto them, they perceived that
he was defiled with dust and spittle,
and ashes and ancient spiders, and
cobwebs and vermin, so that he was
no longer worthy TO associate with
his kindred.
And one Of his brethren, even the
largest, arose and said, yea, the fool
hath been to the postoffice, which
hath not been swept for two admin
istrations."
And they fell upon him and smote
him, and he fed, and they pursued
after him and smote him hip and
thigh, and drave him forth, and set
a mark upon him. And he became
a wanderer and a vagabond upon the
face of the earth.
II hath been known of all men that
"a new broom sweepeth clean," but
this parable sheweth the converse
that an old broom sweepeth not at
all.

VIVID PLANETS DISPLAY

The attention of residents has been
called to display of planets that
may be had just now that is worth
while getting up early in the morn
ing to view. The display is one that
occurs but once in every 20 years,
and according to one interested the
following is written concerning the
planets.
Any who will get up little early,
between four and five o'clock, will see
in the Eastern sky a beautiful and
rare sight, a group of planets which
occurs only about every twenty years.
They are Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and
Mars. They are directly below the
Constellation Leo. Venus, Saturn and
Jupiter are very close together.
Saturday morning, October 22nd,
Venus passed very close to Saturn
on the South, and passing downward
between Saturn and Jupiter passed
very closely to Jupiter on the 25th.
These three planets being so close
together in this interim is termed a
triple conjunction which last happen
ed twenty years ago. This econjune-
ton is all the more remarkable when
we consider the different times. that
it takes each planet to pass over its
orbit around the sun.
Venus makes the circuit in 226
days; it takes Jupiter 11.9 years, and
Saturn 1916 years, while Mars makes
the circuit in 1.9 years. Mars is not
quite so close to this group, it being
little higher up in the direction of
Regulus, the principal star of the
Constellation Leo.
The group cannot be mistaken as
Venus is by far the brightest thing
in the sky and Jupiter close second
while Saturn and Mars are not quite
SO conspicuous yet they are very
easily distinguished.

EVOLUTION OF AN ERROR

l. Poor writing of the copy, es-
pecially of words that look much like
other words.
2. The rapidity of the compositor,
and the fact that the eye, the brain
and the hands fail to cooperate per-
fectly at all times.
8. Inaccurate proof-reading. The
-.mistake that sAs reader sees SO easily u,
is somehow as easily OVsf7ocfsaI--3ss
the proof-reader. Eternal vigilance is
hard to command.
a. 1t often happens that in cor
recting one error in line, the COM
positor makes a new one in the same
line, and proofs are not often read,
for newspaper work, after first cor
rections are made.
5. Inability to always keep the
mind fully intent on the work at hand
without getting side-tracked to the
many other problems of "the job
6. The copy preparing and proof
reading departments should not be
mixed up with the duties of the bus
mess office-but in weekly offices they
are.
7. There is probably not more than
one error for every 10000 opportun-
ities to make them.
8. The making of an error is us
nally helped along by somebody else,
in one or more of a variety of ways.
9. Newspaper workers sometimes
become both brain tired and eye tired
strange to say.
10. Occasionally an error is made
Just because the fellow who made it
doesn't know any better.

THE MEMORIAL PARK

first read about it in the Clarion
some issues back-I was convinced at
once that the proper solution to the
problem had been found. / had the
honor of serving on the original Men,
orial Committee, and at that time
many suggestions were made as to
what should be done to found me-
mortal to commemorate the valor, her.
oism and patriotism of the local hu-
man contribution to the great World
War. Some of those suggestions
were good but impracticable, some
were impossible, and it was difficult
to decide on just the right thing.
When l read, therefore, of the Me-
mortal Park and its probable location
felt that the right idea had arrived.
Personally, | can think of no better
plan than to beautify the spot of
ground mentioned in such way as to
make it a worthy representation of
what Thurmont and the surrounding
country thinks of their heroes, living
and dead.
The possibilities for future develop
ment are unlimited. In a few years
with the proper care it would become
veritable garden spot, and feel sure
in decade a marvellous transforma-
tion would take place.
am convinced it would not take a
very large sum of money after the
ground had been acquired and laid off
and the rostrum erected. Volunteer
labor would lessen much of the cost
and a growing sense of pride would
insure its continued improvement and
care. NJ, should be progressive
movement. All, should not be done at
once. 1t isn't logical that a thing
should be full grown in the beginning
it should have a plan and each year
would find the plan being progressive
ly carried out.
More went into service from our
district in proportion than from any
other district in Frederick county, and
more made the supreme sacrifice.
Less populous places and localities,
with less wealth, have erected costly
memorials, some far in excess of what
the local memorial plans call for.
Thurmont has never failed to do the
right thing when the call came, and l
feel sure that everybody will put their
shoulders to the wheel and make this
project a greater and grander success
than is even hoped for by the commit
tee in charge 1t will be in sense
one of the greatest things Thurmont
has ever done. Not only will it be a
wonderful and unique memorial but it
will prove a source of the greatest i'm
aginable service to the community at
large in view Of the various uses to
which it may be put. 1t will be great
to say to the visitor "this is what we
did for the boys and girls who went"
The best we can do at this time can
only repay in small measure the
debt we owe them. Everybody may
not feel as do about the matter but
personally the project as outlined at
present appeals to me as being very
proper and fitting. ! trust the finan-
cial response may be generous enough
to enable the committee to begin the
preliminary work at an early date.

THE FREDERICK FAIR

The attendance at the Frederick
Fair last week was about $4,000.
The first day, Tuesday, about 10000
Wednesday about 10000, Thursday,
about $4,000 and Friday approximate
ly 5000.
1t is approximated that the gate
receipts for the four days will reach
about $4,000 and the. grand stand
receipts about $4,000. The receipts
for ground privileges aggregate a.
bout $1,000 Other sourdes Of reve-
nue. include the sale of reserved seats
on the grandstand, boxes and the en-
trance fee of exhibitors. 1t is approx
mated that about 1000 exhibits
were placed in the household depart
ment which means $4,000 revenue
from this department alone. Treas
urer Guy X. Motter stated that accur-
ate figures, regarding the total re-
ceipts could not be ascertained until
the books were gone over, the receipts
of each department compiled.
The fair, however, attracted the
largest crowd and the receipts were
the largest in the history of the socie-
ty, with the exception of last year,
which was record breaker. The
crowd was not as large and the re-
ceipts were not as much any day this
year as the corresponding day of last
year. The total gate receipts last
year were approximately $4,000 and
the grandstand gate receipts approx
mately $4,000. This year the gate re-
ceipts at the grandstand were about
81. 100 short of last wear.

By Associated Press
 New York, January 4.-Seven Rus sian children brought here for adoption by Rear Admiral Newton A. McCully former American high commissioner al Sebastopol, were ordered excluded iron the country by an immigration board of inquiry at Ellis Island today. The order fell like wet blanket or the hopes of the youngsters and ths admiral who had played Santa Claus and father to them all the way from their native land on the collier Ramapo They were to be his wards and his heirs, sharing his home at Washington and enjoying all the educational facili- ties he could give them.
 But the admiral announced that he immediately would take an appeal tc the Secretary of Labor at Washington that he was ready to post as many and as high bonds as would be asked and that he intncded to fight to the last ditch for admittance of the chil- dren. Tn the meantime. pending rul- ing from Washington. the children will be detained at Ellis Island.
 The technical exclusion ruling oi Ellis Island officials. was that the chill dren were liable to become public charSes."
