payment is necessary: "The U. 5.
Postoffice law requires us to have all
subscriptions paid in advance or they
cannot go through the mails. The

several on our list that are in arrears
one year or more, who if their label
does not say 1922 their paper will be
excluded from the mails until they do
paw. We ask all to look at their label
and see if their date is 1922, if not
please remit so it will be that date.
Do not forget this request but attend
to it by calling or sending the amount
due at once"

SENTENCE SUSPENDED

With the opening of the criminal
docket in the Frederick County Court
Edward Hamill, the first prisoner
brought before the court, pleaded
guilty to larceny and was given sus-
pended sentence. He had in his pos
session an honorable discharge from
the United States Army. Hamlll,
who said his home was in Baltimore
appeared in the vicinity of Thurmont
as a camper, land was given food, etc.,
at the home of Donald Wilhide. 1t is
alleged that he broke open the cellar
door, made his way up through the
house, took a five dollar bill from the
clothing of Wilhide, as well as some
other change belonging to other per-
sons there, and escaped. In the Gel
lar of the Wilhide home, footprints
were found which were the identical
tracks of the shoes worn by Hamill
When he was brought to Frederick
and asked if he had any money he an
swered in the negative. A search OF
his clothing brought out $4. He then
confessed to Deputy Sheriff Mackley
and returned the $4 to Mr.. Wilhide.
When asked if he had anything to
saw for himself, Hamill told the court
in detail the happenings of his life
since the opening of the World War.
He enlisted in Baltimore on Aug. %,
1917, and was attached to the 32nd
Division. He went overseas with his
division and was in France for II
months. During that time he took
part in two of the greatest battles OF
the war and on returning to the Uni
ted States, was discharged at Camp
Meade.
Aged q years, his parents dead,
and with little or no money, Hamlll
made his way to Thurmont. He could
not find work and was camping IN
that vicinity. He admitted taking
the money from the Wilhide home.
Chief Judge Hammond Urner, stating
that the grand jury had recommended
leniency for Hamill, suspended SEN
tence. He gave the young man some
good advice and asked that he look
for employment at once. Judge Ur-
ner added that the excellent war rec
ord of Hamill, proving that he was q
good soldier and willing to fight fol
his country, had much to do with his
receiving the suspended sentence.
