Biederwolf (Jets 93,100.
Although he worked hard, some times
under a physical handicap, Dr. W. E.
Biederwolf could only induce 1300 to “hit
the sawdust trail” in Hagerstown during
his six weeks campaign which ended
Sunday night. Besides there were over
600 reconsecrations in person and nearly
200 by letter, bringing the total number
of trail-hitters to 2100.
Hagerstown gave Dr. Biederwolf its
free will offering for his services. The
total amounted to $3,100.
The lack of co-operation by the Pres
byterian and three Lutheran churches in
Hagerstown, all strong congregations,
kept down the success of the campaign
there. Nevertheless the promoters feel
that the big campaign has been a success
and they are glad Dr. Biederwolf came
to Hagerstown.

tween Two Lives” and the many funny

Second School Celebration
Bigger and Better Than That
Held Last Year.
The second public sohool demonstration
was held in this county at Frederick city
last Friday and can safely be said to be
better and larger than that held last
spring.
The weather was ideal and early in the
morning pupils of the far distant schools
of the county began arriving at the coun
ty seat via trolley cars, automobiles and
vehicles of almost every description.
By 10 o’clock the city was crowded
with children and their parents. The
sidewalks along the line of march were
packed, and while the parade was taking
place business along tha street was sus
pended.
Mr. Harry Kefauver was Chief Mar
shall for the occasion and led the chil
dren over the prescribed route to the
Boys High School building, on the cam
pus of which lunch was served.
Bands in the parade were numerous
and their music added much to to occa
sion.
Thousands of children were in line, the
wee little folks attracting attention
equally with the High School Cadets.
It seemed as though the various schools
vied one with the other in the matter of
costumes, banners, etc., and many pret
ty designs were shown.
After the thousands in the parade ar
rived at the Boys High School, the pro
gram as arranged was followed. Mr.
Cyrus F. Flook, presided at the exercises.
After singing “America”, Supt. of Ed
ucation, Prof. M. Bates Stephens was
introduced and made an eloquent address.
Other persons to make addresses were
H. W. Foght, Chief of the Rural Divis
ion of the National Bureau of Education,
Washington, D. C., and Charles Calvert
Ellis, a lecturer of Huntington, Fa.
The exhibits of the various schools
were placed in the Armory and many
beautiful designs were to be seen. Al
nost every class of school work was ex
hibited, and that shown by the Thur
mont schools was particularly interest
ing.
During the afternoon Athletic Contests
were held at the Boys’ High School.
Students of the Thurmont High School
were entered in a number of the events,
and succeeded in gathering in several
medals.
In the 95-pound class, 60 yard dash, H.
Smith came in third.
In the Junior Unlimited Class, Charles
Brenaman won the Running High Jump
he going 4 feet 7 inches or 4 inches bet
ter than his nearest competitor.
In the Senior Unlimited 100 yard dash,
Eddie Creeger won second place.
In the Mile Relay the Thurmont team
composed of Roy English, Paul Fleagle,
John and Eddie Creeger, got third place.
Fire Destroys Buildings.
On Friday night of last week tire broke
out ih the summer kitchen on the farm
of Mr. Latimer Schildt, near town, and
when discovered the entire structure was
in flames. Adjoining the summer kitchen
and with only the log wall between was
the smokehouse in which was housed a
quantity of bacon. An old stone build
ing formerly used as a spring house stood
several feet from the kitchen and the
wood work about this building was also
burned.
A 25-gallon tank of gasoline under a
shed roof nearby was rolled some dist
ance away from the fire by Mr. Schildt,
but he discovered the fire too late to
save the meat in the smokehouse.
The fire occurred at 1 o’clock, and al
though several dozen persons responded
to the fire alarm they could save nothing.
Fortunately the wind was blowing from
the northwest and carried all sparks away
from the dwelling house, granary, and
other buildings.
Cattle Rules Modified.
Word has been received from the Fed
eral Bureau of Animal Industry by Dr.
W. C. Siegmund, who has been in charge
of the Government’s work in this State
to eradicate the foot-and-mouth disease,
that all of Maryland has been placed in
free territory except Baltimore city and
Baltimore and Frederick counties.
In Baltimore city and Frederick coun
ty all shipments of cattle, whether in
coming or outgoing, must be for immedi
ate slaughter. In Baltimore county, out
side of a radius of three miles of an in*
fected spot, cattle may be shipped to
other places, but only for immediate
slaughter. Cattle may be shipped into
Baltimore county from free areas for
any purpose.
Lutheran S. S. Reunion July 28.
At a meeting of the Frederick County
Lutheran Reunion Committee held in
Frederick this week, plans were made
for the reunion of the Sunday Schools of
the county at Braddock Heights on July
28th. A concert by the band from the
Loysville Orpha'ns’ Home will be one of
the features of the reunion. Rev. C.W.
Hess, of Brunswick, was elected chair
man of the committee in the place of
Rev- C. J. Hines, who has moved from
the county.
Delighted Audience.
Last Friday evening the people of this
place had an opportunity to hear music
such as was never given in Thurmont,
but very few took advantage of the op
portunity. Those who heard the music
produced by Herr Peter Peters on his
Violoncello were charmed with his work.
Herr Peter Peters is one of the few not
ed *cello players in this country.
