Next week September 22nd Mr. and i Mrs. Coburn presents the international success “THE BETTER OLE” De Wolf Hopper as old Bill with famous New York Company and production j pretty girls, catchy music, joyous laugh ter, augmented orchestra. It is a farce comedy by Henry Darew- I ski and Percival Knight, and is the; work of Captain Arthur Eliot an actor I and humorist. Both authors have been ! in active service at the front. This unique play, which is based on Captain Bairnsfather’s cartoons “Frag ments from France” has been running a year and a half in London. The authors have called their offering “a fragment from France” in two ex plosions, seven splinters and a short gas attack. But it is claimed that every ex plosion rocks the theatre with laughter every splinter of the seven is a shaft of fun, and the short gas attack is made from laughing gas. The presentation this season has the advantage of the appearance of the famous American comedian, De Wolf Hopper as old Bill, who in the vigorous role of the wonderful character with his sprawling mustache and gdod natured attitude toward everything and every body. Mr Hopper has the advantage of the original Metropolitan company under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Coburn and the presentation in this city will be identical in every way to that given so long and successfully at the Metropolis.

The big Homecoming event which was planned for Friday August 15th was i very abruptly postponed only a few days before the date set on account of an epidemic of Scarlet Fever in mild form at Catoctin Furnace and that vicinity. Dr. T. Clyde Routson, Health Officer for Frederick County made a visit to 1 Catoctin Furnace and Thurmont at the time and on account of the numerous cases of the epidemic insisted that our plans be postponed indefinitely. The | Association having in charge the Home- , coming plans took immediate action and accordingly mailed notices to all Soldiers and Sailors of this District and posted | notices throughout the District of the postponement. Dr. Routson now advises that the epidemic is practically cleared up and we have his permission to proceed with our plan. The Thurmont Homecoming Association held a meeting on Thursday evening September 4th and has decided to hold the Homecoming on Saturday September 27th. The program for the day will be the same as originally plan ned and the Association is highly pleased that it will be able to secure the same speakers and musicians. It is found that very little interest has been lost in postponing the Homecoming and the Committees having in charge the various parts in the program are waiting to fail back into line and help curry the event to a successful conclu sion. 'Posters are again being displayed throughout the District giving notice of the program in detail which is as follows: 10.IK) a. m. Baseball game on The Thurmont High School grounds between the Soldiers of Emmitsburg District and those of Mechanicstown District. 2.00 p. m. Assembly of citizens on the lawn at the home of Mr Daniel R. Rouzer; Community singing, Address of Welcome, Memorial Address by Chief Judge Hammond Urner of Frederick; Concert by the Yellow S-prings Band conducted by Prof. S. Fenton Harris. 600 p. m. Banquet in the Town Hall in honor of the returned Soldiers and Sailors of Mechanicstown District. Con cert by TheThurmont Orchestra; Toasts. The date set by the Association may not be as convenient to the out of town people as the original one owing to the vast amount of fall work to be done at ; this Season; however we are giving as much advance notice as possible trusting that the opportunity may be given all of our people to make their plans ahead and be with us for the big Homecoming. Don’t forget the date. Seeing Gettysburg. Early Sunday morning last an aged man arrived in Thurmont and accident- | ally fell in company with Maj. Geo. T. Castle. The spied the little • brown button on the Major’s coat and soon displayed the same little button on his coat to Mr. Castle. Comrade Myers, aged 87 years, left his home in Pekin, 111., about six weeks ago bound for Gettysburg to get a view of the ground over which he fought with the 29th Illinois regiment more than fifty years ago. He carried frying pan and coffee pot with him, and took his good time traveling east. He expects to spend several weeks driving about the battlefield, then sell the rig and go by train to his home in Pekin. Big Excursion. Last Sunday was Excursion day at | Luray Caverns. Two trains—l 9 coaches ! —went over the Western Maryland rail road and carried 1450 passengers, seventy four or more persons boarding the trains at Thurmont. Excursions were run from other points, and it is said the crowd at Luray was very # large. Thurmont pass engers report that it was necessary to stand the entire distance from the cav- i erns on the return trip, seats being mon opolized by one person , baggage and sleeping infants.

What is believed to be a stolen auto mobile was located last Friday in the Jungles near Catoctin ore mines about two miles south of Thurmont, by Mr. Marshall Reed not far from his home along the State Road. | When first found Mr. Reed thought but little about the car—one peculiar and ; unusual thing being thaftrit was so far ■ from the road in the bushes, and an other that no license tags were on the car. j Soon afterward Reed was in conver i sation with John Tom Davis who resides a little further down the road, and spoke I of finding the car. This occurred Friday. I On Thursday a pair of Ohio State tags were found along the Thurmont-Deer field road, brought to town and deliver ed to Justice Rob’t A. Cadow, the latter telling Davis of the fact. After Reed hud related his story to Davis, Tom at once reported the finding j to Justice Cadow, Davis also reports! that on Friday two men came to his abode and asked for something to eat and for some tobacco. Davis supplied their wants and was paid for his food. Justice Cadow reported the find to Deputy C. W. Lidie, and the two went after and brought the car to Thurmont Friday afternoon. Saturday night two men came to Mayor Lidie and wanted the car, stating that it was stolen, but the number of the engine in the car and the engine number held by the men did i not correspond, and Lidie refused to leave the car leave his premises. The car is a Buick Sedan Roadster, arranged for three passengers. It is in good condition, and running order. From some things found in the car, it would seem as though it belonged to someone in or about Youngstown, Ohio. Justice Cadow has recently received word that the car was stolen in Youngs- j town on or about August 24th. Traffic Violations Many. Traffic violations continue unabated in both city and State in spite of the “cam paigns of education” and preventive ef forts made. According to the statistics of Commissioner of Motor Vehicles E. Austin Baughman, fines for the week ending September 11 collected from chauffeurs and owners of motor vehicles in Baltimore city alone amounted to l $2,119 the total of fines in the whole State being $3,151. Most of the fines were in small amounts as there was ; only one fine of SIOO for the week. One man, James A. Colbert, of Wash ington was given two jail sentences of 60 days each, one for operating a car while under the influence of liquor and the other for using the car without authority. | The new week started with a rush, as i about SBOO wss paid in fines Friday, ! chiefly by speeders on the Belair road i bound to or from the track meet at Havre de Grace. This was in spite of a warn ing that the Belair road would be watch ed with especial care during the Havre de Grace race. “50-50” Has No Meaning. Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 13. —As pri vate citizens the five Judges of the Sup reme Court of West Virginia may know, but in their capacity as Judges of the highest tribunal in the State the ex pression “50-50” is Greek to them. The i expression puzzles the court. The Main Island Creek Coal Company , made a proposition with J. L. Chafin, whereby he was to purchase certain 1 lands. Chafin reported to the company : the price was $27,200 and the manager told him to offer $25,000 telling Chafin : ; that “whatever you save us will be “5 •- 50.” Chafin sued for SI,OOO commission and it was allowed in the lower court, whereupon the case was appealed. One of the points in the petition was that I the expression “50-50” was meaningless and the court took that view and grant ed a writ of error and supersedeas. Loys Letter. 1 Mr. Joshua I, Gruber, of Pleasant Hill spent last Sunday Mr. George W. Pitten ger and family of Loys. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey M. Pittenger spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Clar- , ence R.

Pittenger of Loys; Mr. Amos Ar- 1 I nold and daughthr and Miss Bessie Arnold of Rocky Hill and Mr. Luther Fox of Creagerstown. ! A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Pittenger of Loys. Typhoid An Epidemic. It is reported that typhoid fever has reached an epidemic stage at Hagerstown i 30 cases being reported last Sunday. | So far ail cases are traceable to milk j I furnished by one dairyman who had used i infected water trom two wells and a spring on his farm to wash his milk re ceptacles. Ail miik, as well as the city water and wells and springs in the community will be tested for typhoid bacillus. Anti typhoid inoculation is proceeding. < Mashed Fingers. Last week while in the act of canceling 1 stamps, Postmaster Joseph C. Gernand ! struck the index finger of his left hand with the stamp he held in his right hand. The postage stamp was on one of those 2x2 envelopes. The blow struck the, finger nail and caused him considerable ! loss of time and blood.
