where the money was coming from.
Enright may get his high power cars
this morning. when the board meets

required to adopt a motion, and neither
Craig nor Hubert will be on hand. Only
eleven votes were available yesterday

The Mayor wanted to know from

Of the contingent fund of the Police
Commissioner. and the latter said he
could not tell offhand, the fund being
pretty lively one. but he did not think
so. II would mean merely that he would

These events-the granting Of new po-
licemen and the appearance OF Enright

Brooklyn particularly disturbed by
burglars and holdup men.

The Band is Asked to Play in a
NeighbOring Town

The people of Thurmont should be
very proud of the success of the High
School Band. Under the leadership
of Prof. Stull, it has made very great
progress in it's second year. The
Band has played several times in the
Town Hall, and on Saturday, May q
it played for the Memorial exercises
in the Hall and also marched through
the town with the Double Pipe Creek
Band.
Our band is not only appreciated at
home but it has also gained recogni-
ton among neighboring towns. 1t
was asked to play in Emmitsburg for
the Memorial exercises there Tuesday,
May 80.
Our band has also the honor of be-
ing the first to march and play in the
Memorial Park in Thurmont, which
is now being constructed.
The success of our band is due to
the earnest work of its instructor and
to the cooperation of the boys. Now
that our school work is about COM
pleted, we hope that the boys will not
lose interest, but will continue to prac-
tice at their homes every day, so that
next year when the band is again
organized it can start out in full sway
and make the third year an even great
er success than the first or second.

Juniors Triumphant

Hurrah! The "Jolly Juniors" Of
Thur,nont High School have won the
championship in baseball for the year
1922. The games were played be-
tween the grades of the High School.
Each grade played two games. The
Juniors played the Freshmen and de
feated them by the score of 1913. Al
though the High School pitcher and
catcher were both on the Freshman
team, the Juniors, by good playing,
were able to defeat them.
Next came the game with the Soph-
IGNORES. The Juniors had no trouble
defeating them, the score being 1877.
John Boiler was the winning twirler
for the Juniors and it was his balls
that caused the downfall of the
Freshies and Sophs.

Dweller in q Cave.

Gave bears were great big beasts,
weighing half ton or more. They
lived in Europe during paleolithic
times, and were contemporaneous with
our ancestors. They get their name
from the fact that their bones are
usually found in caves. All bears, as
a matter of fact, prefer den in some
rocky hole to live and die In.
Cave bears are all extinct now, but
their near relatives the Siberian brown
bear and the Alaskan Kodiak bear, are
alive Scientists were at loss as to
where to place these huge beasts until
they discovered Pleistocene afiinities
for them Although a cave bear stood
as big as a small cow, he WAS rela-
lively inOffensive. He preferred root

sional bee tree to preying on animals

The Straets az Franco.

Travellers in France often remark on
the neatness and. cleanliness Of its
streets, and before long they discover
how they become so. Any fine morn
ing one may see women and children
sweeping the street busily, with
brooms made of punches Of twigs
bound together. Every speck Of dirt
is banished from the cobblestones, and
that is why 1t Is no hardship to walk
in the streets, for in many French
towns there are no sidewalks. 1t Is
the natural instinct for cleanliness that
makes these women sweep the streets,
for no law demands that they shall
do 1t.

Mental Processes.

Mental habit is the great enemy Of
subcOnscious mind that gets in the
way and causes all the trouble. for
1t seems to be one function Of the
subconscious mind to relieve the con-
scious mind of the burden of direct
thinking with regard to many Of our
routine actions. A mental process Of
some sort is connected with every
physical act, bat 1t is amazing to learn
the extent to which these mental
processes are conducted by the sub
conscious mind. A good part of what
the average man does every day IL
done literally without thinking, SO far
as conscious thought Is concerned.

New Musical instruments.

1t has been said by musicians that
the violin family Is composed of two
pygmies-the violin and the VIOLA
and two giants-the violoncello and
the double bass. 1t Is reasonable to
suppose that the great gap between
these two extremes could be advan-
tageously diminished. 1t is not sur
prising, then, that two well-knOwn
French musicians, father and son,
have, after years Of study and expert
mentatien, created number of inter
mediary instruments which have en-
tirely changed the nature of the violin
family.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

A Freshie's Evening Prayer
A Freshie knelt in prayer one night
Beside her little bed,
"God, make my teachers merciful,"
That is what she said.
"Help me to be good in school,
And learn my lessons we'll,
Forgive me for the rules break
And for the fibs I tell.
"Give my teachers patience, Lord,
For this they surely need,
Around bunch of kids like us,
For they are trying, indeed.
Deliver me- from the final exams,
And help me to make good,
That / might pass into ninth next year
As every Freshie should.
"My Algebra l find so hard,
don't know what to do,
In Latin get all mixed up,
The declensions I know, are few.
20 Lord, please help me to do right
And I will surely try
To be the best that can be found
In all of Thurmont High.
Amen"

TEN PER CENT SLASH IN
FREIGHT RATES EFFECTIVE
New Schedules Are In
corporated

Washington.-Freight rates through
out the United States on practically all
commodities were reduced by 10 per
cent when the carriers of the country
put into effect the decision rendered
last month by the interstate commerce
commission in the general rate case.
New schedules Incorporated In the re-
duction have been completed since the
decision was handed down. although a
series of orders abrogating rules and
regulations concerning publication of
new rates and like details were neces-
sary TO prevent delays in some in
stances.
Agricultural commodities e5ill he the
only important traffic which the 10
per cent cut will not affect. rGsss on
these commodities having been reduced
last January. One or two other classI-
f%ications of freight have also been
given lower rates by commission or
ders. in recent months and these also
are excluded from the new cuts. Rail-
road statisticians lave worked. out the
estimate that the general rate decision
will cause n decrease of $3.50. 100000

Productivity of Lower Stratum VIII
More Than Double Life
of Field

Billings.-The Franz producer from

in the Cat Creek field, is a tremend-

has just reached here.
The well was drilled seven feet fur
Their into the sand, and is now making
over 5000 flush. This is said TO be a
conservative estimate of the increased
flow.
The Franz well is offset to the Mid
Northern guster, Clayton-1S No. 2, and
is 44O feet due south Of the Clayton
The latter well is making 1900 barrels
a day. The Franz corporation has
the new well connected up with the

Cat Greek sand of the Wild Schultz
tract Indicate a tremendous quantity of
oil remains in this field, despite the
fact that scores of wells have been pro-
ducing the liquid wealth for three or
four years from the first sands. The
productivity of the lower stratum will
double the life of the field, 1t Is be-
lieved by biologists and experienced
operators.
The Mid-Northern and Frantz cor
porations are said to hold practically
all the ground on which wells can be
drilled to the second sands. Officials
of the Mid-Northern company said that
there are no Immediate plans to drill
d new well to the deep sand.
