GOOD WILL
BY ARTHUR EUGENE sMIT

Near the ruined abbey singing
Through the cleaning, nightingale
Back loved scenes his song s bringing
over mem'ry's dimming trail
Like the swiftly moving steamer
Going down into the west
Pass from sight OF lucSless dreamer
Form OF one his heart loves best.
As through clouds the cancellations
Light the dark skies OF the night;
SO through years bright apparitions
CLINT us with their spdden light
Joy and gladness are twin brothers;
Light and darkness God hath made.
Faith Is light Go forth as lovers
In the darkness unafraid
Like the throbbing heart OF ocean,
Underneath the crested wave,
Heart OF man is in commotion
Till enfolded by the grave.
BE the vessel trim and stately,
Not the floating derelict;
Sail your course through lHe sedstey,
Watching Ger each dire defect!
Be not Pharisees. my brothers.
Climbing up life's rugged hilll
You are helped by helping others!
Mine OF gold is mans goodwill!

FLIES ARE ON DECLINE

AS has often before been said, if it
isn't one thing it's another. There are
fewer flies than ever in New York this
summer, but the mosquitoes are more
numerous and more ferocious than in
years.
This is no idle rumor based on a
busy evening on a suburban front
porch. 1t is the authentic report of
the Health Department among the
multifarious duties of which agency
is the collection of vital statistics re-
garding the pest population of the
metropolitan area.
Fewer stables, therefore fewer
flies," said Acting Health Commits
sioner Monaghan explaining the sit
uation during the week. "On the 9TH
err hand, more puddles of standing
water and, therefore, more able citi-
zens scratching furiouslv ut their
ankles Cause and effect; demand
and supply. 1mmutable natural law;
you can't get away from it."

ELEVATION OF FREDERICK
COUNTY TOWNS

For the convenience of many people
who are unfamiliar with the elevations
in this mountainous section a table
furnished by the Maryland Geological
Survey should prove interesting.
The report sent out has the follow
ing to say about Frederick County.
Frederick County includes several
different types of country. On the
east are the series of minor ridges
eliminating in PARIS Ridge, made up
of intensely folded and crumbled
schists and gneisses, and with narrow
valleys and heights of 500 to 600 feet.
A remnant of the ancient highlands
preserved from erosion by the hard
ness of the quartzite of which it is
composed is Sugar Loaf Mountain in
the southernmost corner of the coun-
ty which reaches an elevation of 1881
feet. West of this is the broad and
relatively level surface of the Freder-
ick and Monocacy Valley with eleva-
tons from 200 to 900 feet. The val
ley is bounded on the west by the
rugged Catoctin Mountain which in
creases in elevation from about 1000
feet on the south to between 1000 and
100 feet on the north and forms the
line of division between the Piedmont
type of country to the east and the
Appalachian type of country to the
west.
"The country between Catoctin Noun
tain and the Blue Ridge, whose even
topped summit at an average eleva-
ton of about 1000 feet constitutes the
western boundary of the county, is a
rugged upland particularly toward the
north, where it is about 700 feet in
elevation, declining farther to the
north where it is about 500 feet and
also becoming lower toward the Poto-
mac"

PASS THE HAT

The Emmitsburg Chronicle, in speak
ing of the attendance at the league
games, says "the crowd was SMALL"
and "the fans should turn out in large
numbers" We would suggest as a
remedy for that state of affairs that
the management eliminate the tariff,
and, instead, "pass the hat" Twen-
ty-five cents admission to the grounds
with ten cents extra for the grand
stand and again five cents extra for a
mat on which to sit is, in our opinion
good way to keep out those who
cannot afford to pay the price land
there are many of them) but would
contribute five or ten cents.
The Thurmont management "passes
the hat" and it is seldom that more
than one "greenback" does not find
it's way there, in which case 25-cent
admission would mean a loss to. the
hat.
