What! No Union!

A new corporation, of major
importance to householders, has
been formed in Hagerstown's
North End, according to Hal Sew
lille, one of the first supporters of
the infant business venture.
With the fall of the first snow
Mr.. Seville answered the door at
his home on Hamilton Boulevard
to find a pocket edition tycoon on
the front porch.
"Have you finished your din
ner," gravely inquired the little
boy, whose name is Jimmy Baker,
| When Mr.. Seville replied in the
affirmative young Baker continu-
led IN the same adult vein:
"Then I'd like to speak with
lyou a moment. You see, a new
corporation has just been formed
here. A group of my friends and
myself are in back of it. If you're
interested in having your walks
lshovelled, we will do the job on
contract at Is cents a foot-we
do the measuring-for the next
three months. That is, December,
January and February. Would
you be Interested"
Mr.. Seville was~but definitely.
Businessman Baker produced the
contract, Hal signed, the snow fell
again and the boys hovelled.
And very satisfactorily, too,
their first customer is pleased to
report.

Sugar Stamp No. 80
Becomes Valid Jan. |
But Must Last For Four Months
VIII Be Good For Five Pounds

Sugar stamp 80, which will be-
come good for five pounds of sugar
January l, will have to last for four
months, through April 80, the Mary
land OPA State Office advised today.
'The sugar supply will be little
better in 1916, but we have not yet
reached the bright spot in the situa-
tion," sal d the OPA. Right now
reserve stocks continue critically low
and the sugar crops from the West
Indies will not start coming in heav-
lily until March That is the situa-
ton we always have at this time
of the year, but ordinarily there are
big reserves on hand to take care of
the demand until March.
''That means that as we go into
1916, housewives will still have to
watch their sugar bowls. And SO
will industrial users. There will be
no increase to the bakers, candy
makers and so on. They too will
have to count their spoonfuls."

Cumberland Valley
Artists Exhibition
Entries Must Be Received By
January ii, Entry Cards BY
Jan. 1.

Each year the exhibition of works
by Cumberland Valley Artists at the
Washington County Museum of Fine
Arts sees a last minute rush of en-
tries. To forestall that rush this year
the Museum sent out its prospectus
for the 18th Annual well in advance
to artists of the broad Cumberland
Valley area.
The Washington County Museum
now reminds the Cumberland Valley
artists that their entry cards must
be returned to the Museum before
January 1st, 1916, and that all en-
tries must be received by January
18th, 1916. Entry cards which were
attached to the announcement pros
pectus must be filled out and fast
ened to the back of canvases and
other art objects.
Any original work in oil, sculpture.
Watercolor, pastel, drawing, or other
graphic medium, may be entered. No
artist may submit more than two
works in single medium. These
will be judged by an outside jury of
critics for both entrance to the show
and prizes which are offered by the
Museum
All artists in the region between
Frederick, and Cumberland, Mary
land, and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
and Winchester, Virginia, are eligi-
BILE to send entries. Though the
Museum has endeavored to reach all
the artists in this area by direct
mailing of its announcements any
artists who have not received the
prospectus may apply for one di-
rectly from the Washington County
Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown,
Maryland. The show will be made
up of approximately one hundred ex-
hibits, which is anticipated to be
the finest Of the fourteen years.

CLOTHING:
Shape Controls

In an effort to increase the output
of more essential apparel like work
clothes, children's wear and under
wear, the War Production board re-
vealed that it would grant priority
assistance to manufacturers pro-
ducing such goods from cotton, wool
and rayon.
At the same time, the Office of
Price Administration announced
plans for reducing present clothing
prices from to per cent by fixing
costs at the average level of the first
half Of 1913. In reporting its plans,
OPA said that better than 100 per
cent rise in the nations clothing bill
from 1889 to 1913 threatened the
whole anti-inflation program.
Although the effect of the WPB's
program will eliminate luxury cloth
ing, medium-priced apparel, along
with essential grade, will continue
to be made, it was said. Quality of
cheaper garments win be controlled
to provide maximum serviceability.

JOB PLAN:
Full En.pLoYment Coal

In the first legislative proposal to
provide full employment in the post
war period, four Democratic sena-
tors introduced a bill under which
the President would be empowered
to furnish full employment if private
industry failed in the goal.
Sponsored by Senators Murray
(Mont.), Wagner IN. W, Thomas
(Utah) and O'Mahoney (Wyo.), the
bill would require the President to
estimate possible employment by
government and industry each year,
and then institute measures for talk
ing up any slack.
According to provisions of the bill,
these measures could include propo-
sails for encouraging private invest
ment, or a federal spending pro-
gram, primarily consisting Of the
construction of public works.

When President Roosevelt asked

Secretary of Commerce to make
way for the appointment of Henry
Wallace, he precipitated a political
turmoil, which saw the senate first
take up consideration of proposal
to divorce all of the multi-billion
dollar lending operations from the
department before considering the
confirmation of the ex-vice presi-
dent.
Long at the head of the Recon-
struction Finance corporation and it

poration into the commerce depart
ment in 1912, bluff, big-businessman
Mr.. Jones made no bones about the
fact that he thought only an expert
enced businessman with traditional
American ideals of free enterprise
should be entrusted with the ham
ding of billions of dollars of govern
ment funds available for credit, and
its huge investments in factories, IA
cilities, etc.
Upon being apprized of his nomi-
nation, lank Mr.. Wallace, long the
bellwether of New Deal liberalism
and favorite of the CLIO, declared:
e.. The Department of Commerce
and federal loan agency provide an
opportunity Z. for intelligent work
in behalf of the producing and con-
Stunning public. Roughly, the job is
to promote maximum of national
employment by private business.

piling up snowdrifts, temporary
stringent regulations were main
tanned on rail traffic in 10 states
both east and south of the Great
Lakes in an effort to move war
freight.
Although originally permitted to
move into the congested area, live
stock and poultry, fresh and frozen
meat, coal and coke were later tenn
porarily barred from shipment
along with less essential civilian
freight. Passenger service also was
curtailed in the original regulation.
Requested by the Office of De-
tense Transportation, and volun-
tarily complied with by the rail-
roads, the restrictions were ex-
pected to serve as a model for
future regulation of rail traffic in
emergencies to provide for the
movement Of goods for overseas
shipment and necessary material to
