The Thrice.A.Week Edi.
ton of the New
York World
Practically a Daily at the Price of
Weekly. No other Newspaper in the
world gives so much at SO low price.
IN 1922 and 1923

The whole world is being made over
and the United States is taking the
lead in the work. This year, particu
larly, history will be made, and every
American citizen will be deeply inter-
ested. No other newspaper is better
equipped to give the news of the world
at the time it is news than The New
York World.
The Thrice-a-week edition of The
World is the greatest example of COM
prehensive journalism in America. 1t
will keep you as thoroughly informed
as a daily, which would cost five or
six times as much. 1t is a unique
newspaper, published three times
week, for 81 year. This is the regu
lar subscription price and it pays for
1876 newspapers.
, We offer this, unequalled newspaper
and the Clarion together for one year
for $3.50. This offer is good for both
old and new subscribers to the Clarion.

u. 8. TREASURY BLAZE

Blazing scaffolding and repair ma
terials, accompanied by the explosion
of barrel of kerosene, on the roof of
the Treasury Building, threatened the
the structure for half an hour late last
Wednesday until the fire was brought
under control, with nearly every en-
CINE company in the downtown dis
trict in action.
A blue print factory and contrac-
tors shack on the roof were destroyed.
Thousands of shoppers were attract
ed by the dense clouds of smoke
pierced by high flames from a supply
of tar and tar paper.
Treasury employees, who left the
building in an orderly manner after
the alarm was sounded, joined the
spectators while firemen went about
their work.
The millions of dollars of the ma.
TONS treasure stored in the building
was guarded by a Gordon of United
States Marines and Secret Service
men.
No one was injured and no valuable
blue prints were destroyed, according
to James A. Wetmore, supervising ar
chitect of the Treasury, and William
Y. Brady, superintendent of construc,
ton.
Six clerks in the printroom saved
all the important plans. The print
room was situated directly above the
supervising architects Office, where
plans for Government buildings are
drawn. Repair work has been pro-
ceeding on the roof for several months

CREAGERSTOWN MAN MISSING

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance from home of j. Blaine Hoffman,
q well-known farmer residing one
mile east of Creagerstown. He went
away suddenly, about three weeks ago.
and is said to be involved to the eX-
tent of between $4,000 and $4,000,
About $4,000 or $4,000 of this amount
is said to be in cash that he obtained
in different ways, and the remainder
represents accounts unpaid and UNI
provided for that he is said to have
left behind.
Mr.. Hoffman, who is about "a years
old, and who is son of John S. Hoff-
man, left home while his wife and
young daughter were,away. 1t is said
that he came to this city in his auto
mobile and after cashing a check at a
well-known drygoods store and at a
bank, for which he had no funds on
deposit to meet, left his automobile at
local garage and disappeared from
the city. Later, it is said, he notified
his father and brother where he had
left his car and later they obtained it.
Since then nothing has been heard of
the missing man and States Attorney
Aaron r. Anders stated yesterday that
the authorities did know where to look
for him.
Mr.. Hoffman was well-known in the
vicinity of his home and was thought
to be doing well on his farm. He was
an elder in the Church of God and was
identified in church and religious
work. 1t is understood that he gave
bill of sale on his personal property,
including his stock, and that his faith
er went his surety for about $4,000
which he recently withdrew from a
bank in Thurmont. 1t was not gen.
orally known that he was involved to
such an extent before he went away.
Residents of the vicinity of Creag-
eretown speak in high terms of Mr..
Hoffman and much sympathy is felt
for his wife and daughter, who are
still at the home place.-Frederick
Post.
