The demand for butter and eggs in
Oakland and vicinity is greater than the
supply and command high prices. That
there is money in butter and eggs no
one will question. This being true, why
not plan to meet the demand? There is
no trouble to raise chickens and there is
always demand for chickens and eggs.
Others have made money by engaging
in the business, why not you? Put the
poultry houses in good shape for the
winter. Protect your fowls from the
storms, give them proper attention and
you will have results.
The farmers of Garrett county are
beginning to be large producers and
shippers of grain, baled hay and straw,
cattle and sheep. This is as 1t should
be. Car load shipments of each of the
above are frequent. The demand for
Garrett county buckwheat flour is great
er than the mills can supply. greater
because the millers cannot get the buck
wheat to make into flour. 1t is up to
the farmer to increase his crop of buck
wheat, both in acreage and in yield.
More grain of all kinds, more sheep,
more cattle, more of everything raised
on the farm means more money. better
farmhouses, better barns, better roads,
better school houses, and better church
buildings. The REPUBLICAN congratu-
lates the farmers on what they have ac-
complished thus far and wishes them
more prosperous career as the years

FOUGHT WAY THROUGH
SNOW TO SAVE HIS WIFE
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Speicher Had
Thrilling Experience.

Caught in whirling snow storm on
the new State road in this county while
on her way to Baltimore to undergo an
operation, Mrs. Charles Speicher, of
Accident, was forced to remain IN an
automobile Sunday morning while her
husband searched the surrounding
country for a sled and horse to carry
her to Oakland, where they were to
board train.
Because of his courage and untiring
efforts, Mr.. Speicher's mission was
successful, and with his sick wife he
reached Oakland in time to catch the
Baltimore and Ohio train, which arrlv-
ed in Baltimore at ! O'Clock Monday
morning.
Mrs. Speicher is now at the Mary
land General Hospital, where she was
taken in taxicab from Camden Sta
ton. She was operated on by DR..
Ridgeley MARRIED.. She is suffering
from complication of diseases.
The story of the struggle to reach
the depot at Oakland is best told in the
words of local physician, who accom-
panied Mrs. Speicher to Baltimore. Her
husband, who was so fatigued by the
hardships he endured while tramping
through the snowfilled roads searching
for a sled, that he was forced to return
to his home.
"Mr. and Mrs. Speicher left their
home early Sunday morning in an auto
mobile" said the physician. at had
been raining all dav Saturday and late
that night the rain turned to snow.
After the couple left their home the
snow fell harder and every moment the
flakes became larger. They thought at
first that they could reach Oakland
without any difficult.

Speicher wrapped her carefully in
several blankets and, making her as
comfortable as possible, told her that
he would go for a sled and horses to con-
tinue the journey.
''His mission, however, was much
more difficult than anticipated. He was
forced to make path through drifts
of snow that in some places were
seven feet high. After several hours
of labor he succeeded in reaching
farmhouse, where he obtained the sled
and horses and returned to the side of
his wife, who by this time was half
frozen.

Oakland was also beset with many
