SATURDAY. AUGUST STH,
John Barrymore in
“THE MAN FROM MEXICO.”
John Barrymore is presented in his
second motion picture appearance in the
celebrated comedy, “The Man From
Mexico,” by H. A. Du Souchet. John
Barrymore’s first film characterization
was the title role of the noted comedy,
“An American Citizen,” a Famous Play
ers production that created a sensation
throughout the country. As in his form
er portrayal in “The Man From Mexico,”
John Barrymore finds himself in continu
ous trouble, from which he consistently
extricates himself in a highly humorous
manner.
It is in this type of play that John
Barrymore excels. With this excruciat
ingly humorous facial expressions, his
ludicrous gestures and his general meth
od of portraying farcical tribulations and
sorrows, he finds himself admirably suit
ed in a character such as that of Fitzhew
in “The Man From Mexico.”
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9TH,
Theodore Roberts in
“THE CIRCUS MAN.”
Undoubtedly one of the widest read
novels, “The Rose of the Ring,” by Geo.
B. McCutcheon, which has now been
made into a motion picture drama under
the title of “The Circus Man,” by the
Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company,
with Theodore Roberts, America’s lead
ing character actor, in the title role,
promises to exceed in popularity, even
Mr. McCutcheon’s two former Lasky
plays, “Brewster's Millions”and“What’s
His Name?”
In addition to Theodore Roberts, the
cast contains James Neil, Florence Dag
mar, Fred Montague, Mabel Van Buren,
and other well known Lasky artists.

Guardian Hose Company
Organized Nearly Thirty Years
Ago. Meeting.
Back in the year 1887 the question of
organizing a fire company in (then Me
chanicstown) Thurmont was agitated by
the citizens of the town, and finally on
June 28th of that year articles of incor
poration were granted Guardian Hose
Company, Dr. M. E. Leatherman, pres
ident; James C. Mackley, vice president;
Charles E. Cassell, secretary; SamT M.
Birely, treasurer; John F. D. Miller,
foreman; Frank Stokes, chief hose direct
or; H. Clay Anders, chief pipeman.
The organization flourished. A com
pany was formed and under the direction
of Mr. Frank Stokes men were drilled to
perfection. Uniforms were purchased,
and many laurels won in competitive
drills in various cities. This continued
for a number of years. Interest began
to decrease because of the absence of a
leader and drill master, and finally there
was no organization of fireman in Thur
mont.
Officers were elected annually if suffici
ent citizens of the town attended the
meeting when a call was made, and thro’
the untiring efforts of Messrs. E. L. Root
and SamT Bennett, and perhaps a few
others, Guardian Hose Company still
exists.
Of the original incorporators three are
living, viz: Messrs. Mackley, Stokes and
Anders. The charter was granted for a
term of 40 years.
The company has from time to time
purchased fire fighting apparatus, and
with the equipment on hand has done
good work at recent fires.
Since 1887 Thurmont has spread over
a much larger area, and if a call was
made for hose at some outlying point,
the run to be made from Town Hull
would be more than men could do.
How about purchasing a light auto
truck for a hose truck? If not for a hose
truck, to use same to pull hose reels and
hook and ladder truck. Think about it.
On Monday evening of next week there
will be a Firemen’s meeting in Firemen’s
Room in Town Hall. The object of this
meeting is unknown to us at this time,
but likely it is something interesting to
every taxpayer, and every taxpayer ex
pecting protection should attend.
Impressions of the First Week of the
Summer School for Rural Ministers.
ißy Dr. T. F. Dixon, of Frederick.)
About half of our school work is over
and we take a moment to gather up the
impressions that have been made.
First of all is the impression of the
oneness of our job. We are from all
sorts of churches, but we are all facing
the same problems and the school makes
us realize this as we possibly never have
before. Here we have felt no difference
because of creed, but have been a unit
in the work before us.
A next impression is of the great value
of the College of Agriculture to the peo
ple of the State. There seems to be
somebody at the college who knows any
thing that the farmer can possibly want
or need to know and we are wondering
why more farmers do not send in their
problems for solution.
Still another impression is of the great
importance of the Country Parish in the
sum total of the work and success of the
Church at large There are more churches
in the country than in the city. The
bone and sinew of the city church is born
and raised in the country church, the
vast majority of the recruits for the
ranks of the ministry come from the
Country Church.
We are also impressed with the great
opportunity and real responsibility of
the Country Church to be the leader in
all forms of community betterment. The
church and the school are usually the
only social centers in a country neigh
borhood. They must set the pace for
advancement or none will be attained,
and by setting it unitedly they can much
more easily and completely attain their
own specific ends.
The particularly strong impression of
the Ministerial School at the Agricultural
College is the vital connection between
physical and social conditions in the coun
try and the success of the Church in the
country. Better farms, better houses,
better schools, better roads are as im
portant to the work of the church as
better Sunday Schools and better ser
mons. In all these the minister ought
to be the leader or at least the inspirer.
At our school we are learning what we
ought to be to the community and how
to be it.
The School is pre-eminently a school of
methods, it has given us inspiration, it
has given us principles, but best of all,
it has given us practical programs that
can be carried out in our actual work,
and which we believe will be used to the
great betterment of the Country Church.

Just the Thing for Diarrhoea.
“About two years ago I had a severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted over a
week,” writes W. C. Jones, Buford,
N. D. “I became so weak that I -could
not stand upright. A druggist recom
mended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose
relieved me and within two days I was
as well as ever." Many druggists recom
mend this remedy because they know

War Mutions Explode In New
York Harbor.
Loss of Property Estimated at
$25,000,000.
Liberty Statue Injured
An unknown number of dead and injur
ed, $25,000,000 in property loss, five
States shaken, and millions of persona
within a radius of 100 miles badly frigh
tened to distraction, is the partial toll of
the damage wrought by an explosion of
war materials in New York Bay early
Sunday morning, July 30th.
While only two persons are known
definitely to be dead, the loss of life is
believed to have been considerable, and
scores of persons were injured.
Black Tom Island, an area of reclaim
ed land, which projects into the bay
from the Jersey shore, immediately be
hind the Statue of Liberty, was the
scene of the explosion.
Six Lehigh Valley railroad piers and
the National Storage Warehouse com
prising 24 3 story, brick buildings, about
100 feet deep, bore the brunt of the ex
plosion.
Thirteen storage warehouses and their
entire contents were blown up, 85 loaded
freight cars were burned, a dozen barges
and their contents burned or blown up,
and probably three tug boats sunk.
The New Jersey Central Railroad pier,
half a mile from the source of the ex
plosion, also was damaged.
The detonations, which were felt in
five states, began with a continuous
rapid fire of small shells, then the blow
ing up of great quantities of dynamite,
trinitrotoluene and other high explosives,
followed by the bursting of thousands of
shrapnel shell, which literally showered
the surrounding country and waters for
many miles around.
Fire that started soon after the first
great crash, which spread death and des
olation in its wake, destroyed 13 of the
nuge warehouses of the National Storage
Company on Black Tom Island, in which
were stored merchandise valued between
$12,1 00,000 and $15,000,000. The flames, |
shooting into the clouds, were reflected '
against New York’s sky line of towering 1
office buildings, which only a few mo- j
ments before were shaken to their foun
dations as if by an earthquake. Miles
of streets in Manhattan alone were
strewn with broken glass and shattered
signs.
Great havoc was wrought on Bedloe’s
Island by the explosion at Black Tom
Island. Damage to the Statue of Liberty
has been estimated at several hundred
thousand dollars. The figures are the
guess of Captain Clifton, in charge of
Liberty Island. The exact injury can
not be ascertained until experts have
made a careful examination of the ped
estal and base of the statue.
Bedloe’s Island, almost on a direct
line with Black Tom, bore the brunt of
the shock. A warehouse recently com
pleted there is practically in ruins.
The first thought of the officers and
men who comprise the little army post
was for “Miss Liberty”; though an ava
lanche of dirt and pieces of flying shrap
nel a detail of three men with a non
commissioned officer ran to the statue
after the first blast. They found it bad
ly damaged. The light on the statue
was found to have been completely flick
ering when the successive blasts rattled
the monument to its foundation.
It has not yet been definitely deter
mined just what the money loss will be.
Some 40,000 tons of raw sugar, valued
at approximately $3,400,000, is known to
be lost. It is believed that the other
contents of the warehouses destroyed
will greatly increase this amount. There
were no explosives stored in the ware
houses. Two of the cars destroyed were
loaded with shrapnel, which would not
have been a source of danger but for out
side fire. The other cars destroyed were
loaded principally with salt and pork.

river did not furnish water sufficient to
operate the two power plants. In the
future current will be furnished the Mar
tinsburg lines from Security during dry
seasons.
Liver Trouble.
