The Miser's Lot.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said In one
Of his brilliant class addresses:
"Young men should be. saving, but
not miserly. There is no greater folly
than miserliness.
"a young man on seaside excur-

at once he leaned back in his chair
and heaved a tremendous sigh-a sigh
half of rage and half of grief.
"'What's the matter, Bill? said the
other young man who was with him.
"Bill pointed to his plate.
"This here steak and kidney pie he

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS TO
=. A TOWN OR COMMUNITY >

The Highway Education Board has
conducted annually for number of
years an essay contest on some sub
ject concerning good roads. In 1922
the subject was ,'4How Good Roads Are
Developing My Town and Community"
This year the topic is "The Influence
of Good Roads Upon the Religious
Life of My Community" The writer
is and has been for at least ten years
intensely interested in Good Roads and
emphasized their importance espec-
tally at every Harvest Home Service.
And just to arouse the public interest
more keenly in behalf of Good Roads
this week a few thoughts on the first
subject, viz: "How Good Roads are De-
veloping Town and Community"
The coming of the automobile has
given us the incentive to Good Roads
and it is marvellous what the country
States and Nation-has done by
way of building roads. Practically
every important city in the United
States is now connected by some good
road-hard road, as we may say-and
a town or city that has none is back
number and on the decline because
trade goes to the town. or city that
has good road in to it, and no town
can keep alive unless it has such road
or roads. Therefore, every town that
wants to live and grow should be am
bitiously working for Good Roads
leading to it. The business man OF
this or another town is dead to his own
interest. that does not root and work
for better roads. 1t \ advances every
mans property in town and country
at once from 10 to 25 per cent when a
solid State Road reaches it or comes
bv it. 1t means soon increase Of popu-
lation and double business. 1t means a
clean town, free from dust and noise
to a large extent, and better class of
people.
No one will want to live in COM
munity or town that has noNgood, solid
road of some kind. In fact State
roads put towns on the map today, like
the railroads did 40 or so years
ago-and we are just at the beginning
of the Good Roads movement.
Is Thurmont and this fine commu-
nifty alive to the issue? Are we put
ting all the effort we can into it to get
more good roads-or are we indiffer-
ent and let other towns and communi-
ties get what belongs to us? Shall
our taxes constantly help to build good
roads for other peoples benefit and
none for ours? Are you interested in
your town and community and bust
ness? Then boost Good Roads!
Next week we shall have short ar
'ticle on "How Good Roads-affect the
Church and Religious Life of a Com
munity."

Original Upper objects to Tips.

Original Upper Objects to Tips.
The tipping system might be said
to hail from England, at least it has
been allowed to flourish there for a
great many years, but the English
men are now criticizing the American
tourists for their generosity in the
matters of tips. Recently several
publications have had articles on this
subject. A correspondent of one pa.
per says it is almost impossible for
other tourists to get any attention
whatever when there are American
tourists to be served at the baggage
rooms of the railroad stations. 1t is
asserted that the Americans are un-
necessarily extravagant in the matter
of tips and the English people do not
like them any the better for 1t.

CARNIVAL A SUCCESS

The High School Carnival closed at
midnight, Saturday night, after two
sessions which will net the High
School a profit of more than $500.
The bills are not yet all in and for that
reason, exact figures are not available.
The net profit may exceed 1925. The
gross receipts were over $475, a part
of which were contributions made
prior to the carnival.
This money constitutes the main
financial support of all extra curricu-
lar activities of the local school. At
least $100 will be set aside towards
the purchase of piano. The school
Improvement Association receives a
small share, additional supplies and
equipment, including such things as
baseball uniforms, books for libraries
in both high and elementary schools,
minor improvements to the building
not provided by the school board will
absorb a portion. The rest will be
reserved for current expenses such as
magazine subscriptions, telephone sub
scription, travelling expenses of teams,
delegate to oratorical contest, etc.
The usual attractions were main
tained at the Carnival. The supper
was served by committee of ladies
of the town presided over most eff
GENTLY by Miss Stella Powell.
The contest for "Queen of the Car
nival" was spirited and interesting.
1t was won by Miss Margaret Cree
ger who received a beautiful ruby set
ring contributed for the purpose by
McCleery's Jewelry Store of Freder-
ick.
The carnival was made possible by
the interest of local citizens and mer-
chants and the merchants of Frederick
city.
The organization of the carnival was
as follows:
Candy booth, Miss Nora 10y, chair
man; Cake booth, Miss Linnie McGuik
gan, chairman; Fancy articles, Mrs,
Anna Jones, chairman; Ice Cream, Mr..
Curfman, chairman; Dutch Market,
Mr.. L. B. Crawford, chairman; Fish
Pond, Miss Kathleen Crawford, chair
man; Oysters and Sandwiches, Mrs.
r. A. Tyson, chairman; Punch, Miss
Mary Rowland, chairman. Miss Ship
ley was in charge of the voting for
queen of the carnival; Misses Hesson
and Rice superintended the entertain
ments for both evenings; Miss Fran
ces Flory, service, and Mr. c. c. T..
Stull the arrangement of the Hall and
the erection of the booths. Mr.. Bur-
dette, treasurer.
Among the closing features of the
carnival last Saturday evening was
the music rendered by the High School
Band under direction of Mr.. Stull. The
boys play we'll and produce good mu-
sic. Probably the music most enjoyed
was Produced by Mrs. Louise Young
and 'Ted" Martin, violinists and Miss
Mary Birely, pianist. One number af-
ter another was played until finally
the young folks just had to dance.
This was kept up until the closing
hour of twelve.
