New Telephone
Directory Out

Hagerstown's new summer-fall is
sue of the telephone directory has
just been delivered to more than
1925 subscribers in this area, ac-
cording to a statement made by
Lawrence c. Card, manager of the
Hagerstown office of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company of
Baltimore City. This directory also
contains the listings of subscribers
in Clear Spring, Hancock, Highfield,
Keedysville, Smithsburg and Will
Transport and connecting company
subscribers at Blue Ridge Summit,
Pa.
As many telephone numbers have
been changed since the last directory
was issued, telephone users are asked
to consult the new directory before
making calls. In this connection,
Mr.. Card pointed out that more than
half of the calls to Information"
are for numbers already listed in the
directory. If the new telephone di-
rectory were checked before calling
Information" these unnecessary
calls would be eliminated and the
time of the 'Information" operators
could be devoted to handling more
essential calls. Personal telephone
number lists should also be checked
with the new directory and correc-
tons made where numbers have
been changed.
Reversing previous policy in the
interest of national defense, Mr..
Card suggested that telephone direc-
tories-now being replaced by new
directories-be saved along with
newspapers and magazines and
turned over to the proper agencies
to be used for defense purposes. In
the past subscribers have been asked
to destroy old directories so as to
avoid confusion Now the old direc-
tories have their use in the paper
salvage program.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION
No. 15754 Equity

INO. lOfOf Equity
In the Circuit Court for Washington
County
Mark +. YOunker, Complainant VS..
Ethel C. YOunker, Respondent
TO: ETHEL c. YOUNKER, the
Respondent and nonresident of the
State of Maryland.
THE OBJECT of this suit is to
procure a divorce A VINCULO
MATRIMONII for the Complainant,
Mark F. Younker, from the Re-
spondent, Ethel c. Younker.
THE BILL states that the parties
were married on June 16, 1926, by
Charles w. Mellott, Clerk of the Or
phans' Court of Fulton County, at
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. That
one child was born as a result of the
said marriage, Garvin Younker, age
sixteen years, who is in the custody
of Ethel c. Younker. That ever since
said marriage your Complainant has
been a faithful, chaste and affec-
tionate husband. That notwithstand
ing the said Ethel c. Younker aban-
doned and deserted your Orator,
which said abandonment and de-
sertion has been continuous and I'M
interrupted for more than eighteen
months and that he has not lived or
cohabited with the said Respondent
since that time. That he is a resi-
dent of Washington County, Mary
land, for more than one year last
past, and that the said Respondent
is a nonresident of the State of
Maryland, but at present resides at
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Bill
then prays for divorce A VIM
CULO MATRIMONII from the Re-
spondent and for other and further
relief.
1T is THEREUPON this goth day
of July, A. D. 1914, by the Circuit
Court for Washington County,
Maryland, sitting in Equity, ordered

each four successive weeks prior TO
the 10Th day of August, A. D. 1914,
giving notice to the absent Ethel c..
Younker, Respondent, nonresident
of the State of Maryland, and now
residing near Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania, of the object and substance of
this suit, and warning her to be and
appear in this Court, either in per-
son or by Solicitor, on or before the
4th day of September, A. D. 1914,

at least to the non-farmer In his
PlOwman's Folly, Mr.. Faulkner de-
cides that blowing is the curse of
agriculture. His experimentation
have proved his theory to his own
satisfaction and in his book he ex-
plains, in delightful manner, just
how he went about his theories and
before you know it, you, too, may be
convinced. Deep blowing must take
large share of responsibility for
increased erosion, which in turn
creates dust bowls, deserts and
floods. Those who raise crops of any
kind will appreciate Mr.. Faulkner's
viewpoint and those who raise moth
ing will like his book just for his
way of saying what he means.
The lovers of music will enjoy
seeing young concert pianist in the
making, in John Selby's Starbuck.
The story is that of young Brant
Starbuck, admired concert pianist,
who, when war came, went into the
Service gladly An injury to his
hands made future career impos-
sible, and the story builds up prop
erly to satisfying conclusion. Sur
rounded by music, knowing only the
notables of the world, riding on a
wave of prosperity and popularity,
the young musician becomes a bit
weary of the fawning populace. II
is good reading, good character
drawing and a story that is inter
esting.
Hugh Walpole's books need no
comment. This is just to remind
you that his last one, the final one of
the Rogue Herries series, is Kath-
crime Christian. If you have read
the others beginning with "I'he
Bright Pavili6ns" and on to the
present, you know what is in store.
If you have no previous acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Walpole then you can
begin with katherine Christian"
There, is the deft handling of history,
personality, symbolism that is char
acteristic of Hugh Walpole. His
heroine is the daughter of a profess
sional magician in the time of the
struggle between James and Par
lament. Her career is exciting, her
personality invigorating and her
notoriety country wide. There are
some of the most vivid moments in
this book that startle the magma
ton. The execution of Stanford
and the burning of the Herries' home
by Cromwell's men are outstanding.
One of the gems in the field of
mystery is Ministry OF Fear, by
Graham Green Immediately one
is plunged into an atmosphere OF
threats unexplained, a past that
holds some horror that reflects dimly
enough to be felt but not seen. In
the midst of the homiest scene Mr..
Greene introduces fear, death and
insanity with such conviction that
his characters become people, not
puppets to show off an authors de-
tective skill. Excitement, suspense
and intensity runs through the story,
the plot is we'll constructed, SO that
to hint it would deprive the reader
of part of the effect of reading. Il
is real literature in the field of
crime stories.
The Washington County Library
has these and many other old and
new titles of adventure for your
summer enjoyment.
