First National Bank of Frostburg a
Top-Notecher.
We are in receipt of a statement of
the condition of The First National
Bank of Frostburg, Md., at the close of
business on July 15th, 1908. As usual,
the aforesaid bank makes a fine show-
ing, one that the officers and stock-
holders of that institution may well
feel proud of, and one that is bound to
be very gratifying to the depositors
and patrons of the same.
With a capital stock of $50,000, sur-
plus fund of $70,000, total resources of
$1,246,524.74, individual deposits of over
a million dollars, loans and. discounts
of $494,280.87, ete., otc., it will be seen
that The First National does a banking
business of great magnitude.
For a long time it was one of the few
government depositories in Western
Maryland, and it still continues to be a
favorite depository of your “Uncle
Samuel,” as the bank has equipments
for safety equaled by few and exceeded
by none, and its officers rank among
the most conservative, energetic and
conscientious financiers of the country.
No bank is conducted on more com-
mendable principles than The First
National Bank of Frostburg, and none
is officered by more courteous and
gentlemanly men—men who are always
ready to give their patrons any safe
business advice and assistance that
may be needed. Its patrons are ever
on the increase, and no bank is held in
higher esteem than the one mentioned.

Death of Mrs. Lueinda Lowry.
The subject of this sketch, who was
the wife of the late George Lowry,
died at her home near Salisbury, last
Friday, aged 77 years, 8 months and 15
days. Deceased was the last surviving
child of Peter Beachy, the father of the
late John W. and A. P. Beachy, and
other sons and daughters well known
to many of THE Star’s readers. Mrs.
Lowry was the mother of Millard F.,
Albert B., Abram L. and William G.
Lowry, also the mother of Mrs. Annie
Kretchman and Mrs. Elijah Newman,
all of whom survive her. She died of
various complications to which old
people are subject, but she bore her
afflictions and suffering bravely to the
end. :
Grandmother Lowry was one of the
noblest and best women in this neigh-
borhood, and her death is mourned by
a large circle of friends and relatives.

WHAT MAKES THE WHEELS GO
ROUND.
The Presidential campaign has ac-
tually begun, and to the Democrats
must be given the honor of being the
first in the field. Colonel: Brvan be-
gan making speeches before he was
actually nominated, and now comé the
Democratic organs of the Hearst tribe
with the statements that the Trusts
are going to open their shops instead
of their purses for Taft. The New
York American says:
As part of the Republican campaign,
there has been planned by the great
corporations the most stupendous labor
movement ever known in America.
The corporations are to contribute
day employment, instead of dollars.
They are to contribute to prosperity
instead of the campaign fund.
It is estimated that in all perhaps
3,000,000 men will benefit by the re-
employment movement to be inaug-
urated.
The mills are to open, railroad im-
provements planned in the boom times
are to be pushed, and all lines of man-
ufacturing are to be made active.
The workmen are to be told when
they are put to work that the election
of Taft looks like a certainty, and that
the employer feels he can make the
investment which the additional wages
represent.
Among the many things which the
Peerless Promiser said, from his front
stoop at Lincoln, Neb., was that with a
law compelling publicity of campaign
contributions, such as is demanded by
the Democratic platform, he couldn’t
be beaten. The Treasurer of the Re-
publican National Committee challeng-
ed this statement by saying he would
not wait for Federal legislation on the
subject, but would make public all
campaign contributions, as is required
by the laws of the state of New York,
wherein he will exercise the duties of
his office.
It was up to the Democratic candi-
date and his managers to meet this
very complete reply, and the Hearst
Newspaper Trust, with characteristic
enterprise, beat even the ready Bryan
in pointing the way out of the dilemma.
The way was simple. It was merely a
continuation of the Bryan policy of
bluff. The mills were already starting
to work.
The fact is that the nomination of
Bryan was discounted, and now that
he is nominated, his defeat will be dis-
counted on a scale much larger. This
is the real reason for industrial re-
sumption. If there was the remotest
danger of Bryan being the next Pres-
ident, capital would withdraw further
within itself and prepare for the with-
ering blight which his peculiar poli-
cies of government would inflict upon
the country.
It is comforting, however, to know
that in any event, and from whatever
cause, it seems to be agreed that busi-
ness resumption and better times are
coming without the aid or consent of
Colonel Bryan and his party.
It will also be noted in this connec-
tion that it is conceded that Republi-
can success, or the mere hope of it,
makes the wheels of industry move
around. This is another thing for the
American people to think about, but it
is safe to say that most of them have a
proper appreciation of the fact. >
All honest citizens will agree that it
is better far for industry to open its
shops to idle workmen than to open its
purse to grafting politicians.—Con-
nellsville Courier.
Mrs. Charles Musser Passes Away.
The wife of Charles Musser died at
her home in Salisbury, last Friday, in
her 41st year, after long and intense
suffering with dropsy. She is survived
by her husband, one son and two
daughters.
Deceased was one of Salisbury’s best
women, and we can pay her no higher
respect than to say that she was recog-
nized by those who knew her as one of
the best and most tidy housewives in
the town. Good house-keeping is the
greatest of all womanly accomplish-
ments, and Mrs. Musser possessed it to
a high degree. She was a good woman
in every way, and her death is greatly
deplored by her many frisnds.
The funeral service was conducted
by the Rev. Geo. Yoder, of the German
Baptist Brethren church, Sunday after-
noon.
An Excellent Midsummer Number.
The August number of The Ladies’
World is given up chiefly to fiction—
and excellent fiction it is, so good, in
fact, as to restore our belief in the
short story. There is variety enough
to suit every taste, but all have that
touch of human nature that makes
them attractive to everyone who reads.
As a collection the illustrations are re-
markable, and typographically the
magazine is, as always, a delight to the
eye.

Besides the stories—eight in all |
departments, | value to advertisers, our subscriptic
Children, Summer and the Complexion,
and the Midsummer fashions, all treat-
ed in a sane, practical way, which gives
the impression that the writers know
what they are talking about. To sum
up, this number is up to the usual high
standard of the publication. New
York: Fifty Cents a Year.
Putting Sawdust to Practical Use.
Sawdust is one of the puzzling wastes
The waste is
serious, too, for the kerf—the part cut
out by the saw in the mill and trans-
formed into sawdust—always bears a
rather high ratio to the boards obtain-
ed. In cutting thin stuff,one-fourth of
the log, or even more, may be kerf.
Efforts to turn sawdust into pulp for
the paper mill have usually been un-
successful on account of mechanical
difficulties in handling. In several
European countries, however, a new
way has been found of turning sawdust
to account. The sawdust, chiefly pine
and fir, is ground with millstones, ex-
actly as old-time mills made cornmeal,
or wheat or rye flour. Expensive ma-
chinery is not required, but it is neces-
sary to take special precautions against
fires which might start from sparks be-
tween the millstones.
The sawdust flour is sold to the dy-
namite factories to be mixed with
nitroglycerin, and forms the body or
absorbent for that high explosive. It
is also in demand for the manufacture
of cheap blotting papers. The mills in
the Hara Mountains, in Germany, an
important manufacturing center, are
kept busy meeting this demand.
The price of the “flour” in Germany
ranges from $7.50 to $12.50 a ton. It is
shipped in bags, like meal, or in bales
of about 40 cubic feet, made by means
of high pressure.
PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.
While we advise all business men to
advertise, and believe that business
success can be obtained in no other
manner, we propose to practice what
we preach, and therefore we advertise
our paper as the best local paper in
this congressional district. It is a
journal which may be taken with the
most implicit confidence. Its pages
will never be soiled by anything ob-
jectionable, and its advertising col-
umns cannot be purchased for immoral
announcements at any price. It is em-
phatically a local journal, designed to
be a home history of the living present.
No movement for the benefit of society
will be allowed to go unnoticed. No
movement for the benefit of society
will be allowed to pass unapproved,
but it will heartily second the efforts
of any individual or any class where
their objects are for the improvement
of the community, financially and
morally.
Any newspaper is the companion of
the family, but the local paper is one
identified with the interests of the
home. It is conducted by those whom
you know. Its columns are filled with
what is of special value to you. In its
prosperity you have a vital interest,
and to its prosperity you can best con-
tribute by giving your support and
patronage. It is your neighbor. Your
duty is first to know your wants. Its
interests are your interests. It is your
friend, it, in preference to any and all
others. No outside or foreign paper
can possibly have claims upon you un-
til your duty is discharged to the local
journal. Of him who says he can get
a city paper much larger than his own
local journal for the same amount of
money, we would inquire: Do the city
papers say anything about your
country, its climate, water, springs,
healthfulness, soil, product, stock-rais-
ing, mills, minerals, schools, churches,
roads, bridges or other improvements?
Nothing. Do they meation your public
meetings, your town and county news:
and the other thousand and one mat-
ters of interest which your home paper
publishes without pay? Not much.
Do they ever say a word, gratis, calcul-
ated to draw to your town or county
and aid in bringing in capital and de-
veloping the wealth of your commu-
nity? Not a line. And yet there are
men who take such contracted views
of the matter, that unless they get as
many square inches of reading matter
in their own county paper as they do
in a city paper, they think they are not
getting the worth of their money.
Your local newspaper works for its own
town ; does all it can to build up the
place, advance the interest of its citi-
zens, draw trade to the town, puts
money into the pockets of the business
men, and adds to the well-being of all.
Such a paper is entitled to the liberal
patronage from the town and commu-
nity it works for.
Qur columns will prove of great | view
list enabling us to place the announc
greater number and a better class of
readers than can any other medium,
and at much less expense. Our job-
bing department is provided with a
line of type and ornaments suitable for
all commercial printing,and we always
keep on hand the best brands of paper
stock, etc. All orders will be filled ex-
peditiously, and satisfactorily, and at
city prices. We invite a call, and
promise to make any favors shown us,
beneficial to our patrons.
