NEW SCHOOL FOR BAKERToN.

Bakerton is to have a new school
building. The contract for it has
been awarded with provision that
guarantees that the building shall be
finished by October /.
The town had outgrown the old
building which was erected long be-
fore the big quarry development
started there over 80 years ago.
The school Board is to be con-
graduated on the appointment of
Miss Rose Cockrell as principal Of the
new school, Miss Cockrell is re-
garded as among the best teachers of
the District.
Increase in school population has
likewise overcrowded the one-room
school at Engle in the same District
Miss Jessie Cockrell who taught most
acceptably there last year when she
had 40 pupils has been reappointed.
The school Board hopes to have an
other room added to the present
building, or new two-room building
erected some time during the coming
year to accommodate the pupils of
the community.

DANIEL BAKER DIES IN BALTI.
MORE.

Daniel Baker, president of the
Standard Lime and Stone Company
and widely known through his activ-
tiles as churchman, died at o'clock
Monday morning at his home, 3442
Auchentoroly Terrace, Baltimore,
following protracted illness.
For more than year Mr.. Baker
had been in declining health, though
he maintained an active interest in
his business and church associa-
lions until some months ago, when
he was confined to his bed.
Mr.. Baker was born at Buckeyes
town, Frederick county, March 30,
1858. Upon leaving college Mr..
Baker began his business apprent-
icesship as a clerk in the country
store at Buckeystown. Subsequent
ly, however, he entered his fathers
business, conducted as Daniel Baker
& Sons, continuing that relationship
until 1888, when, with his brothers,
William G. Baker and Joseph d.
Baker, he organized and incorporated
the Standard Lime and Stone Com
pany. This company grew to great
magnitude, including large quarry
operations in Jefferson and Berkeley
counties. A year later the three
brothers also organized the Washing
ton Building Lime Company.
In 1898 Mr.. Baker moved his fam
lily to Baltimore. Eight years pre-
viously he had married Miss Mary
Elizabeth Brat who died on May 2
of this year. To her death is attri-
buted the rapidly failing health of
Mr.. Baker.
Mr.. Baker filled an important place
in the business life of the city, but
to the community generally he was
better known as churchman. He
was an active member of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church and identified
himself with many of the movements
which his church supported.
In addition to having been the
president of the Standard Lime and
Stone and the Washington Building
Lime companies since their incorp-
grafton, Mr. Baker was a director in
the Citizens National Bank of Fred
erick, the Buckeystown Packing
Company and the Stevens Baker
Company.
The deceased is survived by five
chlluren, Danlel BAKER, Jr., David b.
Baker, Joseph D. Baker, Jr., Mrs.
Henry E. Triede and Miss Nellie c..
Baker; two Grandchildren, George B.
and Elizabeth B. Triede, and two
brothers, William G. Baker, of Buck
eystown, and Joseph D. Baker, of
Frederick.
Funeral services will be held We'd
nesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at
the Auchentoroly home. They will
be conducted by Rev. William H. Lit
singer, pastor of North Baltimore
Methodist Protestant Church, and
Rev. DR.. Thomas H. Lewis, former
president of Western Maryland Col
lege, now president of the General
Conference of the Methodist Protest
ant Church. Interment will be made
in Loudoun Park Cemetery.

SOME REASONS FOR YOU.

If you have an automobile accident
tomorrow, and you break your leg,
and your wife has both her arms
broken, and your children are smash
ed up too, what would become of
you?
In all probability you would be
taken to the Charles Town Hospital.
Have you ever done anything to keep
this Hospital up?
Do you know that not a single
Hospital in Baltimore, or any other
city is self-supporting?
Do you know that the staff of our
Hospital has to be kept up for emer-
gencies and in smooth running order
whether we have six patients or
twenty-six?
Do you know that the County does
not contribute one cent to the Hos
pltal or the Community nurse?
Do you make it hard for those who
are trying to do this work in the COM
munity by criticism and lack of CO.
operation?
Do you know that we all make
mistakes and even you are open to
criticism?
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
By becoming life member of the
Hospital Association at the cost of
$500. This gives you vote at the
yearly meetings, and you can say just
how you think the Hospital should be
run.
You can join the Hospital Aux
iliary, it will cost you $.25 year, but
you will have to work in some way
either by donations of eggs, butter,
vegetables, canned fruit, etc, where
you can spare them or helping to
raise funds in some sort of entertain
ment, etc.
A little from every one would keep
the Hospital comfortable. There is
an Auxiliary in every Church-Join
the one in yours. Have some pride
in making your county institutions
successful.

KUTz HOPEFUL
OF CITY BONUS
Commissioner Thinks Fire
And Policemen Will Get
n
Added Pay.

Continuation through the next
fiscal year of the Sl2O annual bonus
for District police and firemen was
predicted last night by Engineer
Commissioner c. w. KutZ.
Col. Kutz stated this to be his
belief, although District legislation,
in its present status, would wipe
out the bonus and reduce the pay
OF police and firemen to the mini
mum basic salary of $l,46O.
Il think that the bonus will go
through all right" Col. KutZ said
The pay of the men in the police
and fire departments is low enough
as it is. l cannot believe that Con-
gress will strike out the bonus en-
tirely."
The only hope for reinstatement
of the bonus clause in the District
appropriations bill lies with the
Senate at present. Representative
.harles r. Davis, member of the
District subcommittee of the House
appropriations Committe, said.
Davis also expressed optimism as
0 the outcome of the bonus in Con-
gress.
Il am heartily in favor of the
bonus" said Davis, "and 1 believe
that it will pass Congress"
The section in the District appro-
priations bill providing for the bonus
was stricken out in the House on a
point of order. but will Be taken
up in the Senate. The legislative,
executive and judicial bill excluded
the firemen and police entirely, when
the bill was reported to the House
