In MemOriam

In loving remembrance of our dear
father, w. Orlandus Weller, and our
dear mother, Annie A. Weller, who
departed this life May "a, 1920 and
April 20, 1921.
The month of May again is here,
To us one of the saddest of all the
year,
For it was on a May day
That our dear father passed away.
Oh, the memory of that evening
When we knew our father was dead;
Our hearts were crushed with sorrow
And many tears were shed.
Two years with all it's changes
Since death suddenly bade us part,
But dear father all the changes
Cannot take you from our hearts.
Mother, we did not see her pass away,
Or did we see her die;
We only know she passed away
Without bidding us goodbye.
Though she left a memory fair and
sweet,
Its fragrance can never die;
Her life it was complete,
For God called her home on high.
BY their devoted Children

EIGHT TOWNS LIKELY IN COUN-
TY LEAGUE

A meeting of representatives OF the
eight towns likely to be represented
in the Frederick County League this
summer will be held in the Y. NJ. G. A.
building the evening of May 20, at 8
o'clock, President M. J.(Mike) Thomp-
son announced yesterday evening.
The first business before the meet
ing will be the election of second
vice president. j. A. Chambers, exec
utive committeeman from Brunswick
last season, was nominated for this
Office at the meeting at which the ot!.-
er officers were elected. He asked that
the election be deferred and the nomi-
nation was laid on the table after
every member present had announced
that he would vote for Mr. Chambers
if given the opportunity. He will I'M
doubtedly be elected at the'meeting on
May 20.
The other officers of the league cleo
ted at that meeting were: President,
NJ. j. Thompson, Emmitsburg; first
vice-presidert, Leonard c. Barrick,
Woodsboro; treasurer, Raymond q.
House, Middletown; secretary, Minor
Simpson, Indian Springs. All OF these
| officers were those who served in the
1921 season except the secretary, Rob-
ert Hopkins, New Market, who was
secretary last summer, having stated
! that he did not expect to be in the
county during the summer OF 1922.
President Thompson is working up
on tentative playing schedule, which
he will submit at the meeting on May
20 for approval. He is also drafting
new set of eligibility rules, which, he
indicates, very closely resemble those
under which the teams in the circuit
played last season. President Thomp-
son made it plain yesterday evening
that the rules would not be made less
lax on the subject of professionalism
and that no club in the league would
be allowed to pay any players for
their services.
Each club will also be required to
restrict it's list of players to men who
are bona fide residents of Frederick
county. Only one exception has been
made. Anyone residing within the
corporate limits of Mt. Airy, NUM-
cipality located on the border line of
Frederick and Carroll Counties, will
be permitted to play for team from
any town within seven miles. 1t is
understood that Mt. Airy is within
seven miles of both Unionville and
Green Valley, both of which places
are expected to have teams in the
league this summer.
The following teams are expected to
make up the circuit this summer:
Thurmont, Emmitsburg, Woodsboro,
Midd!etown. Brunswick, Point Of
Rocks, Green Valley and Unionville.
The first five towns had teams in
the league last summer. The other
three take the place of Jjamsville,New
Market ard Ladiesburg. Evansville and
New Market have combined with
Green Valley and Ladiesburg has gone
in with Woodsboro.-Post (Monday.)

inconvenient for earners of weekly
wage to reach bank after receiving
their pay, but post Office is usually
available. When the people fully u1-
derstand that their post Offices offer
them modern banking facilities they
will avail themselves of this modern
savings system which is run for their
own advantage and at no cost to them.
Postal Savings and Treasury Savings
Certificates offer an unusual opportu-
nifty, and the post Office is ready to
render these banking facilities in an
efficient manner.
Postmaster Rouzer is pleased with
the suggestion of the post Office as the
wage-eamers' savings bank, and in-
tends to make it that in fact, as long
as people who are its patrons show a
disreition to save.

In Loving Memory

Of our dearly beloved mother and
grandmother, Mary V. Hahn, who de-
parted this life year ago today, May
21, 1921.
Before our eyes she faded slowly,
Growing day by day more frail,
Bearing sweetly all her sutferings
Without murmur, moan or wall.
A loving mother true and kind,
Faithful to the end of time;
For all of us she did her best,
May God grant her eternal rest.
Sadly missed by her daughter-in-
law, and son and grandchildren.

TREASURY SAVINGS CERTIFl-

Postmaster Rouzer is endeavoring
to impress upon the people of Thur

Treasury Savings Certificates and
Postal Savings as an investment as
well as the best method of encourag-
ing persons of small income to form
the habits of thrift and saving. "The

financial sage who made an investi-

saving system, "will become the saw

Trying to Push
Ship Bill Aside
Both Sides Struggle For Dom
nance in Senate-Matter
is Unsettled

Washington, Dec. 18. Sup
porters of the administration ship
ping bill and members of an alli-
ance between opponents Of the
measure and proponents of the
Norris agricultural financing bill
struggled for dominance in the
senate today without definite re-
suit
The issue, which was before the
senate throughout a six-hour ses-
sion, was embodied in the motion
of Senator Norris, of Nebraska,
chairman of the agriculture COM
mittee, and leader in the new
progressive bloc, to lay aside the
ship bill and to take up the sena-
tors own measure to create a gov
ernment capitalized agency to buy
and sell farm products. The ques-
ton was the subject of numerous
conferences and several speeches,
including the maiden address of
Senator Brookhart, Republican,
Iowa
An attempt was made soon after
the session began to obtain unan-
imous consent for vote on the
motion late tomorrow and appear
ed on the point Of success, but a
wrangle over the detail blocked the
way. Renewed efforts are to be
made tomorrow with prospects fa-
voring vote before adjournment.
Demand that the shipping bill
be laid aside was made during the
session by Senator Brookhart,
Senator Borah, Republican. Ida
no, and Senator Fletcher, of Flor
ida, leader Of the Democratic op-
position to the measure. Senator
Ransdell, Democrat. Louisiana, in
a four-hour speech, urged prompt
passage of the legislation while
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington, in charge of it, stood firm
ly on his. determination to keep
the bill before the senate until
rural credits legislation could be
reported to the senate by the
banking and currency committee.
Chairman Mclean Of this commit
tee. announced during the day that
such action might be expected
early nextsweek. IS.
One senator-John Sharp Will

nouneed he would not vote either
way on the question, because he
said he would feel himself dis
graced either way" He said he
had not thought .'it was within the
realm Of human ingenuity to frame
a bill worse than the ship subsidy
bill "but that Senator Norris by
his measure ..had accomplished
the impossible.

Greenville, Dee. 19.-Utilizing
straight football against forward
passing by Thornwell, the Gaffney
High school team won the upstate
championship here this afternoon
on Manley field by a score Of 80 to-
IA ina game which was jammed
full of scintillating plays and
which was up and down enough to
keep the final outcome in doubt
from the very beginning until the
final play. y
Two distinct types of football
were played. Gaffney resorted to
line plays and end runs, while the
Thornwell team, finding early in
the first quarter that they could
do nothing with the Gaffney line.
resorted to the second-story route
and tipped thirteen successful for:
ward passes during the contest
out of sixty-three tries for a to-
tai yardage of 1884, Their passing
game resulted in their two touch
downs. Wilson, playing end, was
wonder at snagging the oval in
the air, and with this weapon the
Clintonites Kept the Cherokeeans
constantly in doubt as to their next
move. when Gaffney took the ball
there was no doubt as to what
would be done, with one or two
exceptions. These heavy lads SIM
ply crushed their way to victory.
Butler, clary and Cook were the
stars in the backfeld for the Gaf-
fney team. Clary made two beau
tiful runs, of twenty-seyen and
twenty yards and put the bah in
scoring distance on both occasions.
