PLEADS TO SAVE
OLD TRAILS ROAD
]. NJ. Lowe Warns People Against
Passage OF ShackIeford Bill.

| am writing this communication to
the people of Garrett county in order to
warn them of the danger of the Senate
adopting the bill of Congressman
Shackleford, of Missouri, which even
as it is amended smacks of the ''pork
barrel and will be a disaster to the
National Old Trails Road project which
means so much to your county.
The National Old Trails Road Asso9
citation already. has spent great sums of
money and worked increasingly and
periodically TO the end that there shall
be vast and efficient system of road
ways connecting ocean with ocean.
Other associations, almost as powerful.
have done almost the same thing to
promote the linking together by rock
roads of all the cities of the country, of
more than 10000 population and all of
the state capitals.
No State has better scenery or more
fresh, invigorating air to call the tour
ist from afar than Maryland.
1t is therefore only matter of course
for the Old Trails Association to look
to this State for large number of
loyal supporters. And the attitude of
the people iustifies the belief that when
the Shackelford bill comes before the
Senate there will be voices raised in
protest in your vicinity.

THE BOY USEFUL AND PATRIOTIC.

If there is anything the adult world
would hold Interchangeable, it is the
charming hodge podge of good and bad
that makes up boy nature. Yet there
is meeting this week in Washington a
body which asserts that the boy char
acter is being reformed. The National
Council of Boy Scouts, having enlist
ed 800, 600 youngsters, under Z, 1000 mas
tiers. credits itself with all but a rev.
olution. Once, as Jacob Riis puts it, the
boy was an unmistakable admiXture
of heather and good citizen, heather
normally little uppermost.
Now. that he is a scout. he is friend
ly, courteous, kind! obedient, cheerful,
thrifty and brave; these are the scout
laws, and he obeys them not only be-
cause he wants to-" The bureau of ed
ucation is even asked to recommend
the Boy Scout movement to all educa-
tional authorities
Much as is claimed for its tutorshIp
in camp knowledge, physical training
and so on, more is made of the fact
that every scout is expected to per
form kind act every morning of his
life, that scores of people write in
monthly telling of the good turns the
scouts do them, that cities which once
feared the small boy now expect him
to assist the aged across the streets and
bell the town cats against the birds,
while good manners and thoughtful
ness have made him invaluable at
events like the Inauguration and Get
tysburg celebration.

EVANSVILLE Loses Very Good Citizen

roofing, and his services were always in
demand, for he was an honest and COM
petent workman. Last summer he
was a candidate on the Republican
ticket for legislative nomination, and
while he was not successful he never
theless made very creditable run, con-
sidering that it was his first entry in
that sort of a race.
On account of the snow-blocked roads
the remains could not be brought to his
home at Grantsville until Tuesday and
the funeral. which at first was arrang-
ed for Tuesday afternoon, was post
poned rntil Wednesday afternoon when
a large concourse of relatives and friends
assembled to pay their last respects to
the departed. Funeral services were
held in the Springs Mennonite church.
