Victory For ThurmOnt

Monday was great day for those of
us who believe in and enjoy clean sport.
Our boys journeyed to Middletown to pit
their skill and endurance against those of
their only remaining rival for the base
ball pennant of Frederick County, and
we tagged along en- maasse to be with
them during the test. Our home team
won.
As the game progressed the ,tuneful
voices of our ladies' were lifted up in
song to watt message of encourage
ment and promise to. the ears of the
players; ''you do your. best, boys; Wen
do the rest, boys" was the refrain. The
lusty shouts of our accomplished rooters
filled the air with sound more appropriate
to the occasion than the fitful blares and
booms of the band on the other side.
Those of US who are not gifted with lung
power stood back of the lines and thrilled
with the surge of pure joy as run after
run was Tailed for Thurmont.
Our baseball team has done it's best,
and that is the best that has been by any
team in the league. Let US honor them
as the victors they are. Now that the
tumult and shouting has died, let US get
together with will and do something
practical for them and for ourselves.
Every resident Of Thurmont is ex-
pected to contribute to The Dinner Fund.
Cash in excess of the cost of the din
ner for the team will be placed to the
credit of the club. to be used. when and
as occasion arises, for its advancement.
Many of our people believe that we
should have a stand on the local athletic
field for the comfort of spectators; some
have suggested that the field be graded
and drain ed; there is much that can be
done for betterment, and improvements
cost money.
This is home cause; it is worthy of
our best; all should esteem it privilege
as well as privilege to participate in its
success. Give as your heart dictates.
Give until it makes you feel proud. Give,
no matter how little or how much you
can afford. Give your limit.
Place your donation of honor in one of
the envelopes provided for the purpose,
and leave it with Mr.. Jones, the treas
urer, at the Thurmont Bank, or drop it
in the jar at Mikes Corner Drug Store.
Do it now. Don't wait. Know the joy
of duty. The dinner will be given on
Thursday evening, the 18th inst.

Get RId Of Dyino Trees.

Two men with a crosscut saw can
bring down a tree in better shape than
one man with an Ak, although an az is
good, but slow. In many communities
where wood is plentiful company Of
men run a power saw. This Is an cas-
Ter and much more efficient method
than the handsaw way.
So sharpen your trusty az and lay
