The County Prohibition Convention at Narrows Park last Saturday after noon was called to order by Fred. W. Seaber, of Westernport, and organi zation followed in the election of Wil liam H.

Treasurer John Bannatyne, of Eck hart. The usual endorsement of State and national platforms was made by resolutions. The campaign will begin next month, with Dr. A. S. Watkins, a noted orator, in the field. Strong Statement from Good Authority. One of the finest articles on “adver tising” in a long time appears in the Hardware Reporter, St. Bouis, Mo., j of the 15th inst. The first paragraph follows: “It has been charged, and in some measure rightfully so, that the aver age retail hardware dealer does not use his local newspaper as much as he should for the promotion of his busi ness, but is rather inclined to assume an attitude of indifference towards newspaper publicity and to endeavor to get along without making use of the advertising columns of his paper to any material extent. It is" not an unusual thing to pick up a newspaper in a good live town and not find a single hardware advertisement in it, though it may abound in announce ments of grocery, dry goods, and va rious other stores, and even be patro nized by a far-away mail-order house. It is frequently the case, too, that when a merchant fails to advertise his store and business through this medium his show windows are neg lected, for these two methods of ad vertising usually work hand in hand. If they do not, they should, for it is the mission of the one to help the other.” And so on through five more similar paragraphs. The moral is—what is true of hard ware advertising is true of all other lines of mercantile advertising. And, brought directly home, it should be regarded by all the business people of Frostburg as a part of their business duly to advertise in their home paper! Political. Sterling Galt, editor of the Emmits burg Chronicle —an excellent news paper, is the democratic nominee for the State Senate in Frederick county, and people who know him say he will make a progressive legislator if elected. Just “Thirty Years Ago” the editor of the Journal enjoyed the same honor, but his party enemies in Cumberland were too “slick” for him. In the east end of the county they persuaded a number of voters to be lieve the Journal was “a dangerous laborite,” but on Georges Creek they measured the editor by the tenets of the gospel of labor of that day and denounced him as “a At least 164 votes were affected by this contradiction, and the battle was lost. Poetic Puzzle. A Federal Hill poet sends the fol lowing- contribution, hoping the Jour nal will arrange so it will completely rhyme: Mary had a little lamb as a Present from her papa. But when Mary went to buy lamb chops she found The price was 20 cents a pound. “The object of the request,” it is stated, “is —Mary’s father wants to keep Mary from selling to instead of buying from the butcher.” The Journal has done its best, but is compelled to turn it over to some “centennial” poet with this offer — j make a complete poetic stanza, ratio of measure 100 to 106, and send to Journal accompanied by 100 cents— not 106, for one year’s subscription. WHEN HER BACK AGHES. —— A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Frostburg women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approach of dropsy or Bright’s disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They at tack kidney diseases by striking at the cause. Here’s proof of it in a Frost burg woman’s worde: Mrs. Cleaver Richardson, 102 Center street, Frostburg, Md., says: “I found Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a very ■ good kidney medicine and I publicly endorsed them in 1907. All that I then said in their praise still holds good. I had various symptoms of kidney complaint. My head and back ached and often I felt dizzy and nervous. Mornings on arising, I was all tired out and my kidneys were in bad shape. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I used them and they not only drove away the pains but toned up my entire system. One of my children was af flicted with kidney trouble, and in this case Doan’s Kidney Pills effected a complete cure.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 : cents.

Foster, West Mechanic street, this place, Monday, September 18, 1811, by Rev. F. H. Crissman, Miss Marie Josephine Bosdeck to Mr. Adolph Goebel, both of McKeesport, Pa. A small company of friends were present and bade the happy couple a joyous journey through life. Mr. Goebel was not long since one of Frostburg’s good boys, but is now filling a posi tion of responsibility in McKeesport, and there he and his bride will make their home. Estray. “How do you sleep these nights?” “Much better since I got into the habit of leaving my dollar watch out in the hall on the hat-rack.”—Birm ingham Age-Herald. This would indicate that Ed. Wil lisou’s watch had gotten away from him. Ia the Insect World. The Union and Water-street inter section swarmed Tuesday morning with what were generally called by the crowd “moth-millers.” Where they came from no man —not even a present-day centennialist could say. Ed. Miller said the proper name is psychodid fly; that he was once over at Burdockburg and that was what a high-school principal from Sand Patch said it was. Melville Dennison took issue with this statement, saying he and his base drum spent several hours at Oldtown last Sunday, and down there a pupil said he could prove by a new diction ary just extant that it is an aleurodid telegraph-pole bark louse. Joshua Davis pronounced it a cicada, because in Welsh that word means both moth and clabber-fly. After tasting one Walter Scott Bur ton spit it out and exclaimed:—“scar abeid nidus!" —the first Eatin words Scott ever spoke. Taken to task for the obscurity of his speech, he denied that he meant beetle; in fact, he ex plained that he was trying to avoid the word, bug. Just then the post office windows flew up and the discussion was adjourned indefinitely. W. C. T. U. The County Convention of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union was held in First M. E. Church, this place, Tuesday, 19th inst. The forenoon and afternoon sessions were taken up with the business work of the Union. One of the leading program num [ bers of these sessions was an address by the State President —Mrs. Mary Haslup, of Baltimore. The election resulted in the re-elec tion of the officers who served last year, as follows: President —Mrs. Charles C. Willison. Vice-President —Mrs. R. C. Stotler. Corresponding Secretary —Mrs. C. J. McKenzie. Treasurer —Mrs. Horace G. Evans. The leading number of the evening meeting was the contest for the grand gold medal. Five contestants entered as follows: Misses Fannie Crawford, Twila Wil lison, Grace Stotler and Gladys Burk hart, all of Cumberland, and Mr. Clif ton Jeffries, of Frostburg. Miss Burkhart won, receiving a per centage of 46 1-6. Her nearest con testant was Miss Willison, who made 46. The judges were —Rev. W. D. Eynn, of Eonaconing;' A. Taylor Smith, of Cumberland, and Dr. S. A. Baer, of this place. Only winners of gold medals in previous contests are eligible to en try in the grand gold-medal contest, and winners of grand gold-medals are eligible to entry in* the diamond con test. The County Union expects to hold a diamond contest during next year.

The leading “beauty” in the new dictionary of the national language of Frostburg just now is “centennial”— 106th anniversary. Does Baltimore Deserve It? There will be two amendments on the ballot, this year, providing for in creased representation for Baltimore in the legislature, and about these the • voters of Carroll ought to be thinking. The effect of these amendments, if they had been in force this year, would have been to increase Senator Gor - man’s vote to 78 instead of 65. The r change, therefore, would not only af fect the vote of conventions, but all matters coming before the legislature in which both city and counties are interested, as well as all general legis lation. On the basis of representation ac cording to population, Baltimore seems entitled to the increase, but for all other reasons it is not. The counties have not a single interest to be served, that we are aware of, to justify their giving to Baltimore this increased hold on the political and business future of , the State. The city shows a grasping, domineering spirit along all lines, and appears to consider that the State exists merely to feed it, politically „ and otherwise. It may be the fault of the repre sentatives from the counties in. the legislature, who lend themselves to the superior ability and wiles of the ; city’s representatives, that the city al ready has too much power in shaping a legislation, and especially politics. That is the fact, at least. The city organization, and city interests, have first call on all things worth having, , and the city papers are continually re } minding the counties' that the city s pays more than its share of the State 1 taxes, for the upkeep of public roads - and improvements. , Baltimore will have to change its 1 tune toward the counties before it can i expect them to fall in and grant it more political and legislative power, and we predict that they will line up ! solidly against the present amend . ! ments Taneytown (Md.)
