BOYS MILITARY
BAND ON TOUR
St. Mary's Boys Will Take Part In
The Great $4,000, 900 Drive
For School

The crack military band of St.
Mary's Industrial School, of Balti-
more, composed of 81 sturdy young
musicians, is making a tour of Mary,
land in the interest of the campaign
to raise $2,000,000, with which it is
intended to replace the imposing in
stitution of education and industrial
training that was destroyed by fire
over year ago.
The boys will be accompanied by
Rev. Brother Paul, Director of the in
ititution. and will give a series of
concerts at each place visited. Anoth-
er interesting feature will be an ex-
Libition of moving picture film, TAX
en- few days ago, showing the ac-
tivities Of the youngsters at their
school, including instruction in the
practical application of the various in
dustries. Not the least attractive of
these features will be hot game of
baseball, in which an unpopular de-
cision by the umpire provided the
caneraman with fine opportunity for
lot of action.
1t will be remembered that "Babe"
Ruth, the famous baseball player, was
q student at st. Mary's Industrial
School. He was sent there not be-
cause he was criminal, but was I'M
comfortable by his parents. Today he
cneerfully and openly declares that
all his success was due to the training
he received at st. Mary's Industrial
School.
The same condition prevails with
hundreds of other boys who are lit
orally knocking at the doors of the
institution for admission as pupils. 1t
is these boys that the charitably in
clned people Of the United States are
asked to assist in the campaign that
is Just getting under away.
Governor Albert c.. Richie has vol
lntecred to act as Chairman of the
Executive Committee, which is COM
posed fthe most representative men

Gibbons, who has started the cam
paign fund with donation of $4,000

Right Reverend o. B. Corrigan, D. D..

The campaign is non-sectarian and

SOLDIERS BODY
Still lies IN Home
Brought From France Seven Months
Ago and Still Lies In Metal
Casket at His Home

Seaford, Del, Feb. 6-An order has
been placed with the local tombstone
and monument dealer for one of the
finest granite receiving vaults ever
rlaced in cemetery on this PENN
sula. This overhead vault will be the
last resting place of Eugene Linthi-
cum, son of the late Benjamin Lin
thicum Of Church Creek, Md. who
died while in the service overseas.
Noung Linthicum was a member OF
the United States Marines.
His body was brought to the United
States about seven months ago and
since that time has lain in a metal
casket in the parlor of the Linthicum
home at Church Creek. His father,
one of the wealthiest men in Dorches-
ter county, died recently, and before
his death made a request that his son
lie in the metal casket in the home
until the receiving vault was ready
for occupancy. 1t will be at least 9
months before the vault will be ready
for the burial of the young marine
and the body will lie in the Linthicum
home 10 months before it is finally
buried.

1t Isn't Your Town, Its You

If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike.
\ QUILL only find what you've left be-
hind,
For there's nothing really new.
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town, it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the deaG.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't the town, It's you.

In MEMORIAM.

In memory of William ]. Ards,
who departed this life three years
ago today, February IL, 1918.
A loved one from us now has gone
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Dear father it's lonely and sad with
out thee;
How we miss your loving face,
But you left us to remember,
No one else can fill your place.
Oh the memory of that dreadful morn
AS we stood with aching heart,
Seeing the one we loved so dear,
Pierced by deaths most cruel dart.
He will never be forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger,
Round the grave where he is laid.
Friends may think we'll soon forget,
And our wounded hearts be healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That's within our hearts concealed.
By his daughter,
CARRIE l.. ARDS.

MARYLAND SHOWS
A GREAT RECORD
Last Year a Great One In Thrift
and Savings Stamps and
Other Securities

More than $214,0O0 was invested ii.
thrift and war savings stamps and
ether government savings securities
in Maryland last year, according to a
report just made by the United States
Treasury Department. Much of this
money represents the earnings and
savings of school children. who, or
gained into savings clubs, of which
more than 1000 have been formed
in this federal reserve district, are in
vesting their pennies and nickels and
dimes in the savings securities.
In the entire district the sales of
thrift and war savings stamps and
Treasury savings certificates amount
ed to $1,965,87S.49 with a per capita
investment of 80 cents. For the
country at large a total of Sal, 300
T00.91 is given, the per capita figure
being 40 cents. Detail sales for the
fifth federal reserve district are list
ed in the Treasury report as follows:
Maryland, $214,8S9.09; District of
Columbia, 1856, 7S4.11; Virginia, $35S-
727.49; West Virginia, $5O2,714.76;
North Carolina, $454,245.31; South
Carolina, $78,517.73. This money rep
resents actual savings, it is said, in
addition to the funds put in banks or
investor in safe commercial securi-
ties. This year the Government Saw
ings Organization of this district
looks for larger sales not only be-
cause of the momentum which the
savings movement is said to be gath
ering but because of the new 81 and
$25 savings securities which the
Treasury Department is offering in
addition to the savings securities sold
last year and reissued in 1921
series.

p. O. DEPARTMENT
ADOPTS NEW SYSTEM
Insured Parcels Lost In Transit Can
Be Settled For By The Post
masters of two Offices.

Heretofore persons sending insur-
ed parcels through the postoffice
have had to wait long time to have
their claims adjusted in case the
package was lost. But since Decem-
her 18th new system has been in
stalled by the postoffice authorities
whereby such claims are settled by
the postmaster where the package
was received and the office at the
place of destination.
Packages sent previous to the a.
bove date, in case of loss, were adj
justed by the third assistant post
master at Washington, and this re-
quired months and months until a
thorough investigation could be had.
Now the procedure is confined to the
two postmasters. One thing neces-
sary for a prompt settlement is tie
presentation of the bill for the arti-
clcs shipped. For instance, if You
send package by mail to party in
Baltimore and the package is lost you
make complaint at Pocomoke show
ing your bill from the merchant. The
Baltimore postmaster is notified of
the loss, and after assuring himself
that the package was never received
he will mail you check for the
amount insured.
This will take but little time COM
pared to the old system. Postmaster
Ross says already claims have been
settled within a few days, but in
some cases it may take few weeks
at the most. This is a great improve
ment over the old system, when Po-
comoke people have had to wait over
year for adjustment.

Effects of Constipation.

Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body.
The poisonous refuse matter that
should be carried away is retained in
the system and often poisons the
blood and causes numerous disorders.
No one can afford to neglect his bow
els. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets
will afford relief. Avoid drastic ca
thartics as they take too much water
out of the system and their use is
likely to be followed by constipa-
tion.-Adv.

FLAMES AT HUTTIG
CAUSE Big LOSS
TWO BIG LUMBER MILLS ARE
ENTIRELY DESTROYED
BY BLAZE.

Huttig.-A loss estimated Mt more
than $1,OOO,O0O was sustained recently
by the Frost-Johnston Lumber Com
pany Of New Orleans when its two big
lumber mills were destroyed by fire.
The blaze originated in the kilns,
which were overheated. Within five
minutes the flames had spread over
practically the entire plant.
Besides the two sawmills, both of
which are of large capacitv two dry
ing sheds, the f,s:c!, House, 100000
teet of cut lumber and the trans were
destroyed, and the planning mill was
badly damaged The plant covered an
area OF approximately rs acres, the
daily capacity of which was 100000
feet.
When the fire broke out, all en-
ployes of the company. numbering
more than 700 men, were put to work
fighting the flames The company
had its own waterwOrks system, but
the pressure was inadequate. Dyna-
mite was used, but this did not check
the flames
Sparks from the burning plant flew
in all directions, and the entire town
was endangered. Several residences
caught fire, but the flames were ex-
tinguished before serious damage re-
suited.
The flames rapidly ate their way
through the buildings and leaped to
the huge stacks of lumber A high
wind assisted them in spreading, and
greatly handicapped the fire fighters.
The flames were visible for miles.
They leaped 40 or so feet into the air.
Several directors of the Frost-John.
ston Lumber Company, who were at
tending a meeting at St. Louis have
left on special train for Huttig.
The company owns more than co.
900 acres of timber lands In this sec-
ton, and it is considered probable the
plant will be rebuilt as soon as posi-
BILE. The plant was established about
IS years ago, and was one Of the larg.
est in southern Arkansas
The heat from the burning plant
was intense, and it was impossible to
stand within several hundred feet of
the two mills. Hundreds Of people
were attracted to the scene. A large
crowd from Ell Dorado, about 35 miles
northeast of Huttig, came here in au
tomobiles
