SOME "HOOTCH"

Last Friday evening one of Uucle
Sans Boys, while passing the home
of Mr.. w. E. Trego, East Main Street,
saw a large eagle perched on the
chimney. Greatly excited, he rushed
to the house and rang the bell. His
summons was; answered by Master
Myron Trego.
"Got a gum" was suddenly shot at
the little fellow by Uncle Sans Boy.
"No, but my father has," was the
quick reply.
Father home?"
This query was answered by Mrs.
Trego. .',.':-3
Later, in talking to Mr.. T. about
the eagle, he remarked that he would
not lend anybody his gun to shoot the
revolving hood from his chimney, and
added, "but would like to know
where he got such a dandy grade of
"hootch!" &c

FARMERS MEET AT EMMITS-
RJ1RG

A we'll attended meeting of farmers
was held. in the schoolhouse,. Emnits-
burg, Friday night at which a number
of shares of the Agricultural Cerpor-
alton of Maryland were taken. Fred
erick Bamberger, an official of the cor
poration delivered an address explain
ing the object and purposes Of the
corporation, and at the conclusion OF
his remarks subscriptions were So
licited.
The meeting was called to order by
David G. Zentz, Thurmont, county dl-
rector of the corporation, who after a
few remarks introduced Mr.. Bamber-
ger. The latter to some length refer
red to the benefits of cooperation
among farmers and pointed out in a
very practical manner how the Agrl-
cultural Corporation will benefit farm
ers after it has been established upon
a working basis. He urged farmers
to become members thus placing them
selves in a position to receive the ben
efits as we'll as promote an organza-
ton designed to make it possible to
purchase all standard supplies at
much less cost than under present
conditions. His address was given
close attention and at its conclusion
questions were asked and answered.
!. Mr.. Zentz expects to hold meet
ing at Buckeystown and Brunswick as
soon as plans can be made to secure
a speaker 1t is his intention also to
plan meeting for Frederick City
and also for towns in the county. He
stated that he would like to hold a
meeting in every district of the county
in order to secure stockholders from
every locality. 1t is probable that
the next meeting will be at Buckeyes
town.

(Communicated.)

Mr.. Editor
As a resident of Thurmont for over
forty-five years, with its social ano
commercial interests at heart, firm
believer in. fair play in business as
we'll as sport, cannot help expressing
NV disapproval of some of the meth
ODDS used for one purpose. or another
bv q few of our would-be broad-mind'
ed citizens. The first incident deals
with the so we'll and graphically de-
scribed knocker of the late Chautau-
qua who used the letter columns OF
the Clarion to vent his ire, but as such
ample justice was done him in the
reply to the same, believe enough
has been said.
The second matter bears upon an
other unsigned" communication ap-
bearing in your last issue, in which
the writer wonders how long the gen
eral public is going to stand for beng
fleeced of it's savings by semi-wild cat
concerns-so far we'll and good and
the writer of this letter heartily con-
ours although he fails to comprehend
inst what a semi wild cat or half hon
est stock can be.
The wording and phrasing makes 1t
self evident that the reason was not
purely philanthropic-the several ref
erences to promises of larger return
in dividends than the usual interest
rate. and the unreasonableness OF the
dear public to expect such seems to be
the objectionable offense.
The reference to two failures OF
houses dealing in stocks, etc. seem to
have been used by your unsigned cor
RESPONDENT as the horrible example OF
what the public can expect in being so
greedy as to believe anything more
than the usual rate could be safe.
So to be sure the public will
not be tempted, he classes all those
concerns paying more than the usual
rate in the same category, good and
reputable houses, wild cat and specu-
latiye schemes and the statesmen
resenting the same--and the public
has been saved, or at least warned.
Noble-noble. But right here arises
the inconsistency of this great bene-
factor. Does he believe and say
that .because of the failure of two
banks in our own State within the
mast few weeks that all banks are I'M

LONDON, Aug. .0--Olficial circles
here are OF the opinion that the irish
situation has not been materially
changed by the speech of Premier
Lloyd George. The continuation OF
legotiations is. looked for. but just
what form this VIII take remains n,
mere conjecture.
There was no evidence Of any en-
'husiasm for the Government scheme
in any part of the house. Members
listened to the speech more with res
ignation than with qualification
The phrase. explanation, elucida-
tion and elaboration Of etals was
considered to give free play to efforts
toward negotiations to arrive at an
agreement II was also noted that
tho Premier refrained from emphasiz-
ing, as he has always heretofore
done, the Government support of VI
eter in its irreconcilablc attitude. IL
there was ono omission from tho
speech which 1t Is thought might have
appreciably promoted an agreement
1t was his failure to answer the Irish
question as to whether he accepted
