A number of people have bought small homes here, which is only about four miles south of the city limits and was formerly the site of the old county hospital and the poor farm. Alarge spring right near Mrs. Arthur's home makes this property very desirable. Nearly everybody in the community haul water from the spring, saying it is impossible to get wells in the vicinity. MT.

The soil is deep sand, and the road from the spring to the Little Pike becomes impossible even for wagons in wet winters, so the people are very anx- ious that the case be decided so that they can have a good road.

They will plant seven acres, which at three years old will yield from S to $25 to the tree. Being 100 trees to the acre, that would mean from $500 to $2, 500 to the acre. Who all wants in with me on this deal? All speak at once, for the Wandering Fairy will watch over this orchard, and has already furnished me a name for this, the finest peach.

Camp Meeting at Bayard.

The camp meeting, conducted by
DR.. E. D. Fellers, conference evangel-
ist of the West Virginia Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, is in
full swing at Bayard. A large tent
60x90 feet, has been pitched, seated
and lighted by electricity; a platform
accommodating one hundred singers
has been arranged for the choir, and
the town band is giving thrilling pro-
auctions in music every evening. I'M
mense throngs of people are in atten-
dance from all the surrounding coun-
try and from many towns along the
line of the Western Maryland Rail
road. Bishop John W. Hamilton, Of
Washington, D. c., is expected to be
present the first Sabbath in June. This
visit is being planned for and looked
forward to as one of the greatest
events in the church history of the
town. The pastor of the church at
Bayard, Rev. E.. G. Hutchinson, who
planned and projected the meeting and
the visit of the Bishop, is an old ac-
quaintance and longtime friend of
Bishop Hamilton. If the weather is
favorable on June 5th, the date of the
Bishops visit, fully two thousand peo-
pie from the surrounding towns may
be expected to visit Bayard. The camp
meeting will likely continue a week
or more after the Bishop leaves.

SCHOOL SAVERS ARE
DOING SPLENDID WORK
IN THRIFT CAMPAIGN
MANY SOCIETIES FORMED AND
MEMBERS ARE NOW BUSILY
WATCHING THEIR MONEY
GROW

Teachers and children are enthu-
siastic over the new thrift spirit in
the school room, which has already
resulted not only in giving novel and
practical interest to time honored sub
jects, but in the organization of ap-
proximately 1900 school savings
clubs in the schools of this district.
Last year the gross sales of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates in the fifth dis
trict amounted to more than $2,315, 900
during the school session, and it is
hoped that when the figures are COM
piled for the 1920-1921 session, an
even better record will be shown.
Thousands of penny and nickel saw
ings books, text leaflets in thrift and
wall charts for showing the records of
savings clubs have been mailed out to
schools asking for them. Boys and
girls are learning to put their money
into government savings securities in
stead of wasting it, and in order that
they may not look upon savings as an
end in itself, and gain false concep-
ton of thrift as a form of stinginess,
they are encouraged to save for some
definite, worthwhile object such, for
instance, as a college education or
business capital.
Saving is only a third of the game,
however, for the youngsters earn much
of the money they save and invest in
Thrift and Savings Stamps. Wedding
tobacco, running errands, clerking in
stores, washing dishes, raising vege'
tables and live stock are some of the
callings in which school savings club
members engage during summer vaca
lions and after school hours, and keen
| is the rivalry among them.
Even the smallest tots are taking an
active part in the Earn and Save
movement, and patriotic teachers who
understand the value of thrift as an
element of good citizenship are devot
| ing their time and thought to making
it part of their educational work, anG
are also encouraging the organization
of savings clubs by the children them
selves They realize that they are
rendering a real service to the country
by teaching sound economic thought
practical patriotism and prosperity.

SMALL CAPITALISTS
RAPIDLY INCREASING
GROWING NUMBER OF MODEST
INVESTORS CONSIDERED SIGN
OF NATIONAL PROS
PERITY

One of the most hopeful signs for
the future of this nation is the ever
increasing list of small investors. This
movement, which gained such great
stimulus through the issue of Liberty
Bonds, is now continuing with added
momentum Having once tested the
joys of coupon clipping, having learned
the rewards of economy and thrift, the
man of small means has become an
inveterate investor.
Never before has the absolute safety
of investment in government securities
been so coupled with opportunity for
sure profit as at the present time. Lib
erty Bonds, Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates and Savings Stamps offer the
chance for every man, woman and
child to join the ranks of the capitalists
and to do so without inconvenience or
danger of loss.
Equally important is the effect on
the habits of the people. The
movement strikes directly at the ma
tional vice of extrvagance. Already
1t has done much to change the Unit
ed States from a nation of spenders to
a nation of savers and the end is not
yet,

intendent of the Park, was summoned
to New York this week on business in
connection with the Association.
Mr.. T. D. Richards and Mrs. Rich
ards have arrived in the Park from
Florida, where they spent the winter.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. G. Richardson and

having arrived one day the latter part
of last week.
Miss Belle Pritchard, who spent the
winter at Warrington, West Va, ar
rived here one day recently and is

commodious cottage on Cozy Row.
Another new section is being built
in the boardwalk leading from the post
Office to Pilgrims Rest,while the other
portions of the walk are being re-
paired and made more presentable as
well as safer for pedestrians.
Mr. w. E. Landon, superintendent,
is making some very important i'm

ing the water from the mountain into

long been needed.
Several applications for cottages
have been made this week. The pros
poets are that every available cottage
will be rented this season and that
the Park will soon come into her old
time popularity which she enjoyed for
more than twenty-five years under the
management of the original associa
ton in its palmiest days.

GRAIN GAMBLING ENDED
BY NEW REPUBLICAN ACT
Leader Mondell' Explains Measure Re-
ported by House Committee On
Agriculture.


That the passage by the House of
Representative of the bill restricting
trading in grain futures will be of
immense benefit to the farming inter
ests of the country is tie opinion of
Representative Frank w. Mondell, of
Wyoming, the Republican floor leader.
He says:
"The committee has endeavored, as
understand it, to retain a wide OPP
portunity for dealing and trading,
both in cash grains and in futures, and
preserving that opportunity is very
important one think, for the grain
trade and for the grain producers. On
the other hand, the committee pro-
poses to outlaw, by prohibitive taxa
ton, certain purely speculative, purely
gambling, transactions; transactions
that do not, as a matter of fact,
broaden or extend or widen legitimate
trading in grain, but transactions
which, in the opinion of many people,
have a tendency to produce condi-
ton of fiuctuation in the market,
harmful, alike, as they see it, to both
the consumer and the producer.
"The desire of the committee has
been, as l understand it, to differen-
| tiate between those transactions that
are legitimate, even those that may be
purely speculative, but necessary and
| helpful to the dealer and not harmful
to the grower, and put the ban on
pure, unadultered and harmful gamb-
ling. Whether the committee has ac-
complished this purpose in an ideal
way do not pretend to say, but l be-
lieve they have approached their task
with an understanding of what was
needed, and l am inclined to the opin-
ion they have reached a sound conclu-
sion. I.want to compliment the COM
mittee on having approached this mat
ter from perfectly sane viewpoint, as
it appears to me. There are folks who
are misguided enough to believe that
we should very greatly curtail oppor
tunities to trade and speculate in com
modities. l have never INDUCED il
that kind of pastime myself.

tunate for the producer of grain or O.

production and consumption if W.

GIVING SPLENDID. AID

Postmasters are giving splendid
cooperation in the effort to create
new capital by increasing the num-
Der of investors in government
savings securities. Approximately
100000 letters have been distributed
by them since the middle of Feb
ruary to patrons of their offices,
through post Office boxes or by
means of the regular carriers, call
ing attention to the fact that the
man who saves even dollar out
of his income has to that extent
become a capitalist, and to the alb
solute safety of government securi-
ties as investments for such saw
ings. The postmasters are to be
congratulated not only for helping
to finance the government but for
making their influence felt in be-
half of the welfare of their own
communities. Distribution of these
letters means that the benefits of
saving and sound investment have
been brought directly to the atten-
ton of thousands of persons in
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
West Virginia, Virginia and the two
Carolinas.
