WANT NEW STATE ROAD

Residents of HauverS and Mechan-
icstown districts want the State Roads
Commission to take over the road run
ming from Thurmont to Blue Ridge
Summit. Delegations from these dis
tricts appeared before the Board of
County Commissioners yesterday and
urged the members to use their in
fluence in having the road made into
state highway.
DIR. Morris Birely, Thurmont, and
DR.. Victor Cullen, of the State SAM
tarium, Sabillasville, spokesmen for
the delegation, urged upon the COM
missioners the Importance of the high
way. 1t is part of the main highway
from Washington and Baltimore to
Pen Mar and also to the State Sani-
tarium, it was shown. 1t is used very
largely, especially during the summer
months, by tourists from Washington
and Baltimore travelling to and from
Mar or the State Sanitarium, it
was claimed.
The speakers contended that the
road is at present in very bad condi-
ton, the water-bound stone surface
being torn up by the very heavy traf-
fic passing over it. There are holes
everywhere, the speakers claimed.
Many stretches of the highway are
claimed to be particularly dangerous
where one automobile cannot pass an
other. There are also number of
sharp curves in the highway which
should be eliminated, the speakers as
serted.
1t was plainly the opinion of the
delegation that if the highway is not
made a state road it should be repair
ed by the county commissioners.
All five of the commissioners attend
ed yesterdays meeting. They took the
proposition of the delegation under
advisement. One or two of the COM
missioners expressed themselves as
favoring the project.-Post Dec. 13.

AGRICULTURAL CORPORATION
MEETS

AGRICULTURAL CORPORATION
MEETS
A meeting of the Agricultural Cor
poration of Maryland was held in the
public school building in Emmitsburg
on Monday evening. A large number
of agriculturists were present. The
object of the meeting was explained
by Frederick D. Shamberger, Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the corporation,
who is also Vice President of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Bank, of Baltimore.
The immediate purpose of the cor
poration will be the purchase, on a
Statewide basis, of supplies needed
by farmers in quantity, with the
knowledge that very considerable
saving can be effected. 1t is the in
tention to purchase direct from the
original producer and ship direct to
the point of distribution, thereby elm
mating unnecessary profits, transpor-
tation and storage expenses.
1t is planned to make advantageous
arrangements n each community with
an existing merchant as warehouse
man, for the distribution of goods not
usually purchased in large quantities
as we'll as to meet small demands for
goods generally distributed direct.
The capital stock of the corporation
consists of $4,000 shares, with par
value of $40 per share, full paid and
worcestershire.
The corporation will function, so far
as the distribution of supplies is con-
cerned, through county organizations
1t is intended to have the purchas'
ing and distributing machinery in op-
Grafton by January LIST, 1929, so as to
be ready to fill all spring require
ments. This means an enormous
amount of work In a short space of
time. Every farmer can help, first
by subscribing to stock In the Cor
poration, and then putting his shoul-
der to the wheel for the general good
All but two Of those present sub
scribed to the stock, and they also will
do so by the end Of the week.
Meetings will be held at different
points in the county as soon as ar
rangements can be made.

FOR A GOOD ROAD
To the Editor of the Clarion:

Dear sir:
Will you allow small space in your
paper for the discussion of project
which will be of mutual benefit to the
town of Thurmont and the people liv-
ing in the vicinity of Logs Station and
Rocky Ridge? If so l will endeavor
to present the matter as briefly as pos
sible. 1t is concerning the proposed
State Road leading from Graceham to
Rocky Ridge, connecting at the for
mer place with the improved road
to Thurmont. You probably do not
have any occasion to use the road to
any great extent, but your merchants
and business men in general are the
ones who are benefited by the patron
age of the people from this communi-
ty and we feel that you should be able
to create some enthusiasm among
them for this project through your
paper.
The people of Rocky Ridge, Logs
Station and vicinity depend largely
upon some of your enterprises, and
professional men for their services,
and this statement can be verified if
you will interview your merchants,
ministers and physicians, and, con-
cerning the latter two it is very Sc
lious matter, for there are times when
this road is impossible, with the pres
ent mode of travel, for weeks at a
time There are times when phys
ician or Minister cannot get through
only by using the railroad, and this is
not very satisfactory for these pro-
fessions. The rehave been several in
stances lately when ministers were
detained and one actually missed his
appointment on account of the condi-
tion of this road.
Emmitsburg Junction which is the R.
r. station name tit being the junction
point of the w. M. and E. r. R.,
which makes it all the more import
anti and Logs Station, which is In
close proximity to this proposed road
are the only railroad stations in Fred
erick County which do not have an
improved road outlet.
Now taking all these things into
consideration we do not see where we
are asking for anything unreasonable
when we ask the State build this piece
of road, for this is one of the most
important thoroughfares in the State
as it is a direct route from Pen-Mar
and the mountain resorts as well as
the State Sanitorium through Thur
mont, Graceham, Rocky Ridge, Detour,
Keymar, Middleburg, Union Bridge,
New Windsor, Westminster and Balti-
more. When we see our taxes being
used to improve roads upon which
there is not one-tenth the travel, don't
you think it is time we are up and
doing something?
We feel sure the State Road Com
mission is composed of men fair mind
ed enough to give this matter careful
consideration if presented to them In
a practical way, so let US get together
and see what can be done.

Just three years today have vanished
Since the Savior in his love
Called our loving son homeward

While in this world we stay;
Our hearts have never been the same

You are free from pain and suffering,
Not a care can reach you now.
And never say farewell.

Favorite-In loving remembrance Of
my dear husband and father, Charles
Favorite, who died December 18, 1920.
The hands that did so much for US
Now helplessly they lay;
God knows they worked continuously,
But they are gone today.
Our hearts are crushed and wounded,
Our lives are lonely and sad,
But just one look upon your dear face
Would make US contented and glad.
What happy hours we once enjoyed,
Happy, sweet the memory still;
But they have left an aching heart
The world can never fill.
Our home was filled with sadness
AS we stood with aching hearts
Seeing the one we loved so dearly
Pierced by deaths most evil dart.
By his wife and children.
