To Citizens Of Thurmont.
A Few Interesting Facts For
Consideration.
Believing that in many cases the large
majority of the citizens of Thurmont are
ignorant of the laws governing the cor
poration of Thurmont, and that it will be
of interest for our people to know some
of these laws, we therefore at this time
publish parta of Ordinances No. 1 and
No. 6, the sections of Ordinance No. 1
being especially applicable to the coming
week, or July 4th. We hope this section
will be heeded and that Thurmont may
have, if any, a safe and sane celebration
of the 140 th anniversary of the Declara
tion of Independence. The sections we
call to your attention are as follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted and ordained
by the Commissioners of Mechanicstown;
That all unnecessary firing of Guns,
Pistols and Fire Crackers within the tax
able limits of Thurmont is hereby pro
hibited, and any person or persons
guilty of violating this Section, shall pay
a fine of not less than one dollar nor
more than Five dollars, for each and
every such offense or violation.
Section 2. Be it enacted and ordained
by the authority aforesaid; That Horse
Racing, Bullet Playing, Ball Playing and
all species of Gambling and Intoxication,
Rioting, Fighting, Swearing and all in
decent or disorderly conduct in the streets
or alleys, within the taxable limits afore
said. is hereby prohibited and any person
or persons violating said Section, shall
be fined not less than One dollar nor
more than Twenty dollars.
Sections 1, 2 and 3 of Ordinance No.
6 relates to the establishment of proper
grades for streets and the paving of side
walks and gutters. Said sections read
as follows:
Section I. Be it enacted and ordained
by the Commissioners of Thurmont, That
the President of the Board of Commis
sioners of Thurmont shall annually ap
point a committee of two members
of said Board, who together with
such President shall constitute a com
mittee on Streets and as such shall have
the general supervision and control of
the public streets, lanes and alleys of
Thurmont.
Section 2. Whenever, in the opinion
of said Committee on Streets, it shall be
necessary to pave or grade any street,
lane or alley in Thurmont or when
ever in the opinion of said Committee
any such street, lane or alley shall re
quire repaving or regrading, the said
Committee shall lay down and mark the
proper grade or pitch for the same, or
cause the same to be done by some com
petent person under their supervision
and direction, and shall report to the
said Board of Commissioners a detailed
estimate of the cost of such paving or
grading.
Section 3. It shall be the duty of said
Committee to lay down and mark the
proper grade or pitch of all sidewalks
tnd gutters requiring repavi n g or regrad
ing, or to be newly paved or graded.

Bowel Complaints in India.
In a lecture at one of the Des Moines,
lowa, churches a missionary from India
told of going into the interior of India,
where he was taken sick, that he had a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with him and be
lieved that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as a
preventive and cure for cholera. You may
know from this that it can be depended
upon for the milder forms of bowel com
plaint that occur in this country. Obtain

Wood Lot Work That Pays
In the winter of 1915 Esther L. Cox
applied at the office of the State Forest
er for a plan of profitable forest im
provement on her wood lot, situated in
Frederick county near Union Bridge, j
The timber consisted chiefly of large size
White Oak, of excellent quality, with a (
smaller proportion of Black Oak, Wal-'
nut, Hickory, Gum and miscellaneous
hard woods. '
The Board of Forestry, whose office is
in the Johns Hopkins University in Bal- |
timore, makes a preliminary examination |
of any woodland in the State of Mary- i
land. The facts thus obtained are em- |
bodied in a report with a plan of Bug- j
gested management and sent to the
owner.
In this wood lot the preliminary ex
amination, free of any charge but trav
eling expenses, showed that the trees as
a whole had come to financial maturity,
in fact had passed it. The plan suggest- I
ed was the removal of mature and mer
chantable timber and the improvement
and safeguarding of the rest. In order
to accomplish this a scientific examina
tion and marking of the trees was made.
Those to be cut down because of over- (
ripeness, defectiveness, or for any other
cause were blazed with a marking axe
and stamped with an ‘‘M” in two places,
one a few Inches from the ground, the :
other four or five feet above it. The
higher mark shows clearly what trees
are to be cut, the lower serves as a safe
guard to the owner.
The amount and value of the timber on
this tract was estimated when the trees
were selected and marked; also tables of
value and volume were prepared for the j
owner. A Hat of the number, kinds and
sizes of the trees for sale was sent to a
large number of saw mill operators, who
from their location might be expected to
take an interest In It. In this way a j
purchaser for the marked trees was
readily found and at very satisfactory
terms.
In order that the young timber should |
be protected while the old trees were re-
moved and precaution taken against fire, 1
i a contract to that effect supplied by the
Forester was eigned by the contracting
parties.
The charge made by the State for this
transaction was $8 13; a small amount in
comparison with the work accomplished..
It secures to all owners of woodlots a
profitable sum for mature trees and also
a future stand of the right character of 1
timber in such away that the maximum
production is assured.
The Peril of the Country Church.
Everywhere we find flourishing
churches. Numerous organizations are
succeeding, but we must not form our
opinion by single examples. The truth |
remains that only one out of every three
1 churches is growing. The others are
! slowly dying.
Dr. Edwin L. Harp, of Drew Theolog
ical Seminary, in speaking of the in
sufficiency of the church services in back
ward country districts says; "The mess
age of the minister in the neglected pul
j pit of the dilapidated church building is
about as effective in creating a commun
ity spirit as the noise of a lone wood
pecker on a dead tree in a swamp.”
Dr. Harp believes in facing facts. So
should we who compose the rank and
file of church membership. To continue
his remarks: "The greatest peril the
church of the present has to face in the
community is not the hostility of the
people, but their indifference; the peril
of unattractiveness to those who need
her fellowship—the peril of being let
alone by the multitude.”
Instead of letting the church alone,
the people should rally around it as a
center. People who claim to live accord
ing to its high ethical standards should
recognize it as the fount from which has
flown all that makes for hope and happi
ness. All that is good of their lodges
and fraternities, their clubs and their
societies, was born of the church which
they are now deserting. It has done
much, but there is much yet to be done.
It should not now be left anemic and
dying.
The Country Life School and Confer
ence for Maryland Ministers will deal
with this and other opportunities of coun
try church in its sessions July 24th to
August 4th. Anyone interested may ob
tain complete information by writing to
the Secretary of the Country Life Con
ference, College Park, Maryland.
Horse Thieves Arrested.
Two boys, Walter McCoy and Roy Hoff
man, from Newburg, Pa., went to Ship
pensburg Saturday evening, jumped into
a buggy which was standing along the
street and drove off. They want Cham
bersburg, then to Hagerstown, and then
to Waynesboro, arriving at the latter
place late Sunday afternoon. Later they
drove to Rouzerville where the horse fell
over from exhaustion, it having been
driven straight along without food. Peo
ple notified Constable Rodgers of that
place. Before his arrival the boys got
the horse up and drove away. Not long
after they were overtaken and arrested
at the intersection of the High Rock and
Blue Mountain roads near Penmar. The
boys were taken to Chambcrsburg by the
constable.
Play Ball Here.
Last Saturday afternoon the Rocky
Ridge and Keymar baseball clubs came
to Thurmont and played a game on the
T. H. S. diamond. Very few people
knew a game was to be played, hence
the attendance was small. A good num
ber of rooters came with the clubs and
made things lively. Fox did the pitch
ing for Rocky Ridge, and Grinder and
Myers for Detour. Not having been
used for some time the grass on the field
was very high and made fielding bad.
The score, Rocky Ridge, 6; Keymar 2.
On account of the excessive wet weath
er potatoes have rotted- How is youf

LIQUOR DEALERS SUE STATE. |
About seventy-five liquor dealers of 1
Washington county, .Mil., through]
ex-State’s Attorney Scott M. Wolfin-j
ger, filed a hill in equity against the
State of Maryland, for an injunction
to restrain the officials of Maryland
from enforcing the provisions of a
bill passed l>y the last legislature pre
scribing additional license to sell in
toxicating liquors. The new law re
quires from BKX) to 851X1 in addition
to regular fees.
A NEW MODEL CAR.
“The most powerful low priced car
in the world” is the description g'V-1
en of the great Toledo factory and it ]
is to be known technically as the j
Willys-Overland Company’s New]
Series Model 75 B. In spite of the
nation-wide lamentations concerning
the increased cost of materials, labor;
and manufacturing equipment, tins*
latest motor vehicle is to be sold at
8(>35 for the touring car and 8020 for
the roadster.
Model 75 B Overland naturally
bases its claims to being the most
powerful low priced oar in the world 1
on its motor and on the exhaustive
tests. With a larger bore, now 3|
inches, and a 5 inch stroke, it devel
opes 31 i horsepower at 1960 revolu
tions per minute. Like a flash this ,
motor will take the car 2j miles an
hour to 53 miles an hour, on high, ,
with ail the case of action so widely ;
advertised in the big, powerful ma- (
chines selling at five times its list i
price.
Tests have repeatedly proven that
this sensational car will accomplish
25 miles on one gallon of gasoline
and 18 and 20 miles per gallon is a
common performance in average alP
around use.
WAR APPROPRIATIONS,
The Mexican trouble is causing

TO RUSH SHIPS FOR NAVY. |
! Preparedness at Washington, as a
“program has assumed a concrete form
so far as the navy is concerned. An
agreement has been reached to sub
-1 stilule a three-year plan of construc
tion for the five-year plan originally
proposed by the Administration. |
I Under the new program all vessels
which it was at first intended to build
in five years will be constructed in
three, if there are facilities in the
country to do the work. Of the 16
capital ships projected for the whole
period one half are to be provided for
the first year. I
This new policy has the approval
of the President.
The new Naval Appropriation bill
i will call for an expenditure of ap
i proximately $604,000,000 to meet
the first year’s authorization.
The adoption of this policy is the
longest step toward practical prepar
i edness either Congress or the Admin
istration has yet taken.
