FREIGHT
RATES ACCEPTED
COMMISSION PERMITS ROADS TO
INACCURATE DECREASE FOR
FARM PRODUCTS.
ROADS PROPOSE REDUCTION
New Tariff on Practically All Farm
Products Can Be Made Effect
i've at Once; Old Decrease
Order Stands.

Washington. ~ Voluntary railroad
proposals for Inauguration of 10
per cent decrease In freight rates on
practically all farm, range and orchard
products in the United States outside
of New England, were accepted Sat
urday by the interstate commerce
commission.
Orders were issued allowing the rail-
roads to disregard all usual restric-
lions in making up the new rate
schedules as well as such violations Of
the ong-and-short-haul clause Of the
interstate commerce commission act
as might be brought about by percent
age reductions. The orders also per-
init the rates to be put into effect on
one days notice "on as early date
and in as inexpensive manner as
possible" for six months experiment.
al period
The commission left standing its
order of Oct. 20, requiring an approx
mate 1914 per cent rate decrease on
grain, grain products and hay through
out the entire trans Mississippi district
which the railroads were later in
structed to put into eject by Dec. 81,
The railroad executives, In applying to
the commission last week suggested
that the general 1870 decrease on ag-
rlcultural products which they contem-
plated should apply to the western
grains and hay as well as to the other
commodities and become a substitute
for the 1914 per cent. No mention of
this point in the railroad procedure
was made by the commission ex-
cept that grain. grain products and
hay in western territory were omit
ted from the promissory orders accept
Ing the general decrease.
While the commission swept away
all administrative barriers to the 10
per cent decrease, it was pointed out
that further steps would have to be
taken by the railroad arrangements
before the lower rate basis actually
comes into effect. The commissions
failure to consider the 10 per cent de-
crease on grains and hay as a substi-
tute for the greater reduction it pre-
viously had ordered, IT was said, might
bring about proceedings and confer
ence.
The commissions investigation into
the reasonaheness of the general level
of transportation rates in the United
States will begin next week and if the
railroads are disposed to withdraw
their voluntary offer, the tariffs on the
agricultural products may be left to
adjudication i'm that proceeding.

GERMANY HAS NEW PLAN
FOR MAKING PAYMENTS
Newspaper Says SHINES Would Form
consortium for Economic
Exploitation

Paris.-Germany's latest plan for
meeting her reparation obligations to
the allies includes the formation of
a consortium for economic exploita-
tion in Russia to be participated in by
Germany. France, Great Britain and
the United States. according TO an
article published Saturday by the
Journal Des Debates. The newspaper,
although not divulging the source Of
its information. declares this IS the
plan on which Hugo SHINES, the Ger
man industrial magnate, and former
German minister Of reconstruction
Rathenau. have been negotiating for
the last 'sw days in London
AS outlined by the Journal Des De
bats, the plan includes the following
general nipulations
The United States, England and
France would supply Germany with
capital necessary to transport raw ma
terials sufficient to assure a German
monopoly in supplying Russia with
manufactured products. The Russian
Industries would be restricted to the
production of raw materials sufficient
to repay Germany for the manufac-
tured products transported into Rus
STA. The profits thus realized from
would be divided among the members
Of the consortium in such a way as to
insure the payment of Germany's war
reparationS Meanwhile Germany
would be allowed to benefit by a NOR
atorium permitting a test of the above
plan to be made.

HallOwe'en!

The gloomy evening of the 31st of
October was made merry and gay for
the Philokaleans by the party which
the Delta Sigmas held in our honor
We trembled as we felt our way
through the spooky darkness of the
lower hall, but our greatest fright
came when at the door of the audi
torium, we were seized by the clammy
hand of a ghost We looked around
and saw, not our Delta Sigma friends,
but ghosts riding on the breeze, and
the jack o'-lanterns grinning at US
from all sides. At last the lights were
turned on and we could see our friends
in the room beautifully decorated with
fodder, leaves, cats, ghosts, and COB
lins.
In one end of the room was a for
tune teller's booth where nearly ev-
eryone had his palm read by the Delta
Sigma Palmist, Miss Catherine Eyler.
In the other end of the room was

Delta Sigma Victorious

AS everyone knows, T. H. S. is COM
posed of two literary societies, the
Delta Sigma, whose members gradu-
ate in even years, and the Philokalean,
whose members graduate in odd years.
These two societies test their strength
by holding joint meetings several
times during the school year. and the
society winning the most meetings
during the year is victorious. Last
Friday we held our first contest meet
ing. The debate was justly won by
the Delta Sigmas whose debaters did
wonderfully well, both in argument
and presentation. The recitation
also was won by the Delta Sigma,
leaving the Philokaleans winners only
of the Journal. The Philokalean side
was upheld entirely by the Freshmen
who did very, very well, considering
that the work was new to them, and
the Delta Sigma side was upheld by
Sophomores and Seniors, who, we

Commandments given by the Philo-

Philokalean Literary Society to be
carried out under penalty of suspen-

stone and posted on the bulletin board
as an epitaph to our memory in future
years.
Thou shalt not play the victrola in
the lower hall under any circumstances
even if thy life depend upon it.
Thou shalt not throw chalk, erasers,
or other such dangerous weapons
through the class rooms while the
teachers are absent or otherwise.
Thou shalt not disturb, mess up, or
destroy any magazines that are placed
carefully and in order upon the read
ing table-for he that doeth this un-
kind deed will be duly punished by
the librarian.
Thou shalt not keep thy wraps in
the class room; but go Immediately to
the cloak-room and hang them upon
a hanger if there is one available. If
there be none, by no means place
these wraps upon the floor to be
trampled into the dust.
Thou shalt not be so careless as to
let paper lie on the floor in the class

The ThurmOnt High School Band

Our High School Band as everyone
knows,
Is noted for fame wherever it goes.
Prof. Charles T. Stull, the leader of
this band
Has his members trained by the move
ment of his hand.
There's Warren Weller and Leroy Van
Horn, musicians of renown,
For playing saXophone and clarionet,
no better can be found.
And when you hear John Boiler on his
cornet play,
1t makes you think you want to listen
the remainder of the day.
Said Prof. Stull one morning: "Now
Kipe, don't play too loud,
Of all the noisy boys, you're the most
noisy of the crowd.
Now Leatherman, clean your from
bone slide, and boys, don't you
laugh,
For if he neglects it any longer it will
certainly drop in half"
In the midst of a rehearsal, came some
DOyS III ldLe,
Says Prof Stull, "You that miss so
much time will be late at Heav-
ems gate"
"And Flower, with your bass horn,
don't smash it when you play,
And about those trombone positions, |
have to tell you every day."
But with all this misbehavior the band
has done it's best,
And whenever it is asked to play it
will always stand the test.
So here's three cheers for our High
School Band and the boys that in
it play,
They're going to become great musi-
clans and make Thurmont proud

the door. The father, looking at his
wife quite eagerly, arose to open the
door, but before he could get within
reach of it, it opened and there in the
doorway, stood their dear soldier boy,
taller and manlier than ever.
That night was the happiest they
had ever known. Donald took his
mother and little Lucille in his arms
while his father patted him on the
back, saying, "Welcome home, my
boy"
Lucille threw her arms around her
brothers neck and kissed his hand
some manly face. Then looking up
happily at. her mother, she said Joy
fully, "There,. Mother, I told you Dom
ny would come back, didn't r. To
morrow will be Christmas and we can
spend it all together"
And that Christmas will never be
forgotten by that happy family.

A Delta Signals Dream

This story which am about to un-
fold to all curious ears may seem a
bit startling and unreal but you will
have to use your imagination as Mr.
George Hodgkins used to say. | make
no claim that this story is true but |
will repeat it to you as it was told to
me by shining star of that illustri-
Gus society, the Delta Sigma.
The story runs thus: The aforesaid
shining star, having said his prayers
like a good boy, lay down on his pillow
trying to WOO the god of sleep. He
soon fell into gentle slumber and
dreamed a wonderful dream the like
of which has never been heard of be-
fore.
He dreamed that his earthly career
having come to close, he climbed the
golden stairs to that Pearly White
City called the Happy Hunting
Ground" One fine day he was seated
on a feecy cloud playing his golden
harp with his white wings idly flap
ping in the breeze when he was a
reused from his revelie by a loud
knocking at the Golden Gates. He
heard good St. Peter say, "Who is
there?" What was his surprise when
he heard an old familiar voice say,
"Spoony Knott and Snitz Harbaugh."
Almost falling from his feecy perch
from this sudden shock he leaned out
over the ramparts and recognized his
long lost friends. He called to st.
Peter, "Let them enter for they are
old friends of mine" AS st. Peter
swung wide the ponderous portals his
mind was filled with doubt and misgiv-
ings for he wondered what would be-
come of Heaven with such occupants,
but the newcomers were already safe
ly inside and the three friends were
united once more.
John Jones, '23
