The Homecoming Savings Bank is MAX
ing generous effort to stimulate
potato growing in Garrett and Allegany
counties. Cash prizes will be given for
the first, second and third largest two
acre yield. Particulars can be had at
the bank. Potatoes-good potatoes
home grown. have been none too plen-
tiful this year or last and are too high
priced. If every farmer in the two
counties will enter this contest and make
special effort to grow more and better
potatoes. the consumer may be able to
buy homegrown spuds at reasonable
price next year. However it may be,
the bank is much to be commended for
this generous offer, which is entirely un
selfish and solely in the interest of the

The room in the First National Bank
building until recently occupied by Mr..
Townshend, will be turned over to a
force of workmen Monday who will
make the necessary repairs and altera-
tons for the installation of new fur
niture preliminary to moving the post
office from its present quarters to the
new location. The old quarters for the
postoffice since the introduction of the
parcels post system. have become en-
tirely INADEQUATE for the increased bus
mess. With the installation of the new
equipment and in much larger room,
which will be divided INTO compartments
for the different officials and the differ
ent departments, this drawback will be
obviated and the work of the office can
the more readily be dispatched. The
new Office will be ready for occupancy
by the first of March.
