THURMONT AT WOODSBORO

Although Eaton outpitched Fox in
pitchers duel, by taking advantage
of several costly errors at critical
times, Woodsboro was enabled to score
q / victory over the Thurmont team
in an exhibition game at Woodsboro
Wednesday afternoon.
Eaton, for Thurmont, pitched a fine
game, allowing hits and having 8
strikeouts to his credit, some of which
came at critical periods. He was go
ing just as strong at the end of the
game as at the beginning.
Fox, for Woodsboro, was surprise.
Last year he was out of the game en-
tirely, recuperating from an acci-
dent in which he sustained two broken
arms and other severe hurts.
Both teams played real baseball
from start to finish.
Ecker and the infeld are working
right up to the minute. The outfield
needs a little more confidence to put
them in good shape to meet all corners
This kind of ball, if continued by
both teams, will see Thurmont and
Woodsboro heading the list at the
close of the season.
Woodsboro will play return game
here on Saturday afternoon.

shrubbery of many colors.
After a delicious luncheon the meet
ing was called to order and all bust
ness transacted. At the roll call was
read letter from Mother Landers.
A great pleasure of the meeting was
to have as our guest Mrs. Chas. E

Pictures of long ago were looked
over and the styles of those days were
much enjoyed.
Our hostess gave US pleasant sur
prise by appearing in her wedding
gown, worn twenty-five years ago.
A bouquet of rosebuds was present
ed to the May birthday member.
After receiving the privilege to
gather lilies-of- -the-valley from the
profusion thereabouts, we left with the
remembrance of a perfect day.

KEEPING INSECT PESTS OUT OF
THE UNITED STATES

Inspectors of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board of the United States
Department of Agriculture are con-
tinually on the alert to prevent in
sect pests from making their way
into the United States from foreign
countries, often locating them in new
and unexpected places, for their ways
of arrival are numerous. Twice dur
ing the month of March one inspector
in cooperation with customs officials
intercepted living larvae of the Eu-
ropean corn borer in stalks of broom
corn contained in passengers baggage
One interception was made from the
baggage of a third-class passenger
arriving from Italy, whose intention
was to take the infested material to
Missouri. The second discovery was
made by the same inspector when
the same pest was found in the bag
gage of a passenger from Germany.
These fortunate interceptions en-
phasize very forcibly the need and
Importance of carefully examining, in
cooperation with customs officials,
passengers baggage arriving from
various foreign countries. Work of
this kind is now carried on by the
Federal Horticultural Board at a
number of ports of entry, and as
funds permit it is purposed to en-
large this phase of the boards ac-
tivities.

ENGLISH AS 1T is SPELLED

A stranger in our land was he:
He tried to learn our spelling.
He thought it would as easy be,
AS buying or as selling.
He tried to write, but couldn't quite
Learn when to wright or right.
He couldn't tell just where he stood,
When using Good or wood or shood.
He had to stand lot of chatting,
When cruel people started laffing.
Then other things confused him so,
AS doe and dough and roe and row,
And mail and male and sail and sale
And many more that turned him pail
Said he. 81 left my wife and daughter
In other lands across the waughter,

But they will have to stay, I fere,
And I must leave you" With sigf

CONDENSED MILK WEEK

Is the life of little child worth a
can of milk?
Every resident of this county will
be given an opportunity to answer
this during the week of June to 10
This week, June a to 10, has been
set by the Near East Relief as Con-
densed Milk Week, and everybody is
asked to give Borden's Condensed
Milk for the starving children for
whom the relief organization is car
ing.
The Near East Relief has set this
date in response to a call for condens.
ed milk sent by those in the field;
10000 cases are needed in one area
alone, that in the Caucasus. And
this is only one of the sections under
the relief organization
The call is for condensed milk be-
cause it can be shipped easily and
keeps well. 1t is food in condensed
form, easily handled and most nour-
ishing. 1t is especially suited to lit
tie ones and it is for these, 200,000 OF
them, that it is asked. These are
children who have no one to care fol
them, who will literally starve to
death unless Maryland does its share
in helping by sending condensed milk
But besides these there are 10000
orphans in the orphanages under care
of the Near East Relief who must be
fed regularly. 1t is for these, child
rem inside and outside of the orphan
ages, for whom the milk is asked.
Maryland's quota is three carloads
Give can, that will help. But don't
stop at that, give a half dozen, a
case. Order Borden's Condensed Milk
through your grocer for the Near
East Relief. Borden's matches, can
for can.
Every can will help in getting the
states quota. Harold F. Pellegrin,
state director, believes the response
will be so generous that Maryland will
give over its quota.
Remember-June to 10 is Con-
densed Milk Week-everybody help
by giving.

Last Saturday afternoon the
'Waynesboro Independents gave the
Thurmont Baseball team pretty hard
rub on the local field. Up to the end
of the seventh inning real baseball
was played on both sides. A slight
let-up gave the visitors 2 runs and
Thurmont 8. With one inning to play
and only one run needed to tie the
score, Thurmont took advantage of
their opportunities, shut out the visit
ors and scored three runs. The boys
had on their batting clothes and gave
the visitors plenty of work in the field.
