she was employed by Mr.. Ream.

she was employed by Mr.. Ream.
To find out the difference in the two
words "hired" and employed" one
must go to Noah Webster and his
dictionary. If you do something fol
a man you are employed by him, but
not necessarily hired.
h&E
If Noah Webster is right, then the
investigating committee has techni
cally wiggled out of tight situation
But here are two things to think about
If the committee was so certain Of
the wording of that article severa
weeks ago when it appeared it was
there for no other reason than to pur-
posely mislead the people of the coun-
ty. Whoever would think to question
such a remark when the two words
''hire" and "employ" have always
meant the same thing to a working
man and an employer. No employer
would think of employing a man and
not paying him for his work. Nc
workmen would ever be employed and
not expect to be paid.
If they were not certain of the
wording, they are merely clutching
at the last straw, in an effort to save
their faces, or more appropriately the
fooo of Canator Eriand
***
The copy for the letter to the editor
which appears this week over the sig
nature of the three committee mem
brs, was badly marked up when pre-
scented to this office, and it is very re-
liably reported that it was scratched
up because one member of the COM
mittee wouldn't sign his name unit
several paragraphs were stricken
from the article.
These paragraphs contained person.
al attacks upon members of the wei
fare organization, and had no connec.
ton with the controversy, and the
member of the committee who stooc
up for his rights did so justly. Where
the article originated is question.
1t has long been contended that
desire for personal attack on Mr.
Ream was the motive behind the entire
investigation, and not because of any
desire to be helpful to the relief situa.
ton.
1t is our guess that there will be nc
more articles by the committee. Il
is our belief one of them has hac
his fill of taking up personal matters
under the guise of public good.
***
We don't have his word to thai
effect, but news gets around anc
around-and comes out here.
***
The only thing left for me to de
now is to persuade the boss editor
to sign a statement to the effect that
l have been hired, then l will be
assured of a check at the end of the
week.
Otherwise I'll be doing all this blow
ing off just for nothing. And there:
not much fun in that.
Dou't forget the citizens meeting
when it is held next week. There
ought to be a good representation
there.

There is one thing certain that the
numerous cold waves and billiards.
have done for this county. Many
people are now convinced that an en-
joyable evening can be spent occas-
ionally at home
While grateful to the sun and warm
weather for making this snow disap-
pear, isn't the countryside, streets,
everything, a dirty and sorrowful
looking mess? The cinders that are
necessary to prevent one from falling
when the ice thickly coats the streets,
certainly don't add to the beauty of
the town by any means.
Anyone who wants to invent clean
substance that will serve the same
purpose will have the everlasting
thanks of lot of people.

In case you might be interested to
know what families are mostly on the
increase in Garrett county, we can
tell you.

How You Spend Your Life
Some wise person has figured out
how an average life is spent. A per-
son living to 70 spends his years as
follows:
In sleep, % years; awake, At
Washing himself, six months.
Eating, four to six years.
Talking, Is years; working, 1872.
Seeking pleasure and comfort, 25
years; remainder, wasted.
Six months in church, if he goes en-
Sundays.
Are You Employed or Hired?
Are you employed or hired? If you
don't know you had better find out.
Maybe you think it doesn't make any
difference, but if you are follower of
Senator Friend and Noah Webster
it's bound to make difference. Why :?
Because Senator Friend says so.
I'm in a pickle. 1 can't remember
whether was employed or hired when
l began to work at this office.
Just in case you don't know what
I'm talking about I'll let you in on a
secret.
The relief investigating committee,
in making what 1 believe will be their
final reply this week, have denied that
they ever said Mrs. Slope was hired
by Mr.. Ream. They claim they said

count Of 0enevieve Tobln, Ann To-

thing that will send 1.-THE High
Shoppers From Broadway" revolving
across the stage Of Jacques theater
on next Monday matinee, Septem-
Der IL, when 1.-THE High Shoppers
From Broadway" Is presented BY
Frank lilo as the opening attraction
Of the new burlesque season. This
new burlesque revue Is the fastest
production Of its proportions TO be
presented. The show spins so rap
idly that for the first few scenes the
audience Is q bit bewildered. Then
programs flutter! to the floor and the
crowd catches the tempo and sits
back to enjoy the high-geared con-
glomeration Of the mirth and music,
girls and gags. Twenty scenes are
set into this burlesque show without
the curtain falling for more than
ten seconds between any two. In
stead Of the overwhelming opulence
that Broadway is beginning to be-
come satiated with, this burlesque
revue emphasizes action. The whole
show seems to shoot past the foot
lights, hit or miss, without excuses
or explanations, and percentage Of
hits Is high indeed. Scenery Is not
skimped and the girls are many and
glowing and their setting genuine
Splendor, but the show speeds on
without hesitation. Enough mater
ial for several standard revues app
pears to be packed into this one,
and probably Is, for there Is recog-
niEable the hand OF Ben Bernard.

ner Brothers screen adaptation Of
Marc Connellys Pulitzer Prize play.
The picture which ran for Ave
years as o stage play and thrilled
millions OF people, Is said to DO one
Of the most inspiring spectacles that
has ever been screened. II was pro-
duced on o magnificent scale with
gigantic sets and beautiful back
grounds. In this respect II Is for
greater In scope than the stage pro.
duction because scenes which were
oniyu limited OF In the cramped
quarters before the footlights ore
shown In oil their magnificent
grandeur on the screen. The ua-
limited space and the magic OF the
camera have wrought o miracle the
stage never dreamed Of.
Tho story, representing the primi-
tive conception Of the Bible and its
characters, Is filed with delightful
humor, although presented with o
tender reverence.
The wonderful characterizations
OF biblical folk and the beautiful
scenic effects are enhanced by the
singing Of rich and melodious spir-
ituals by the famous Hall johnson
choir. There are 26 Of these spir-
ituals altogether, some 0 faint,
haunting background with the
singers unseen, and others In full
voice with the 90 members OF the
choir on the set.
There Is q tremendous cast with
III speaking parts and nearly
1000 other players. Thirty Of the
actors were taken from the stage
production while the others were
