COTTON INCREAS-
ES FIRE HAZARD
Storage of One Bale of Cotton Will
Not Increase Insurance Rates but
There is Likelihood that the In
surance Might be Void i'm Case OF
Fire..


The popular practice of buying
bale OF cotton at ten cents per pound
by ichants, which is usually plac-
cd IN the front of the building for
advertising purposes. is bringing up
couple of questions as to the fire
insurance covering the, business
which thus gives storage to bale
of cotton.
Mr.. ingalls,, Of the Oklahoma In
spection Bureau. has sent word to
Durant by Ed Bennett. the city light
superintendent, that the placing of
one bale of cotton in the front OF.

seen from the outside at all times.
will not cause any increase In the
rates for fire insurance on the build

In talks with several local insur-
ance men this week, however, the
Advertiser is advised that while
there is likely to be no increase in
the Insurance rates by reason of the
one bale plan, there is likelihood
that in case of fire damage to the
premises in which bale of cotton
Ia stored. that the insurance COM
Pany having the insurance would de-
clare the policy void for the reason
that the building contained goods
on which the fire hazard was greater
than the contents of the building
which were insured.
Further than that, it is thought
that the placing of bale of cotton
even in the front of the business
house, without a doubt. Increases the
fire hazard.

There she is, sir" exclaimed Lieu
tenant Bingham, pointing into the
distance.
Lieutenant Adams, his senior, COM
handing the torpedo boat Spitfre,
looked through his glasses toward
the horizon where tiny wisp of curl
ing smoke denotesd the presence of
the Kronprinz.
The Kronprinz had sailed from
New York four days before, carrying
a few passenger who were resolved
to risk capture at the hands of the
British fleet, a cargo, mostly contra
band, two million dollars in gold, and
Miss Frances Lowell of Bangor.
This last item was confirmed news.
Lieutenant Adams had written to his
American sweetheart, warning her
not to attempt the journey, owing to
the imminent outbreak of war; but
she had not received the letter, and
had considered newspaper prognOs-
tications ridiculous. She was bent
on completing her art course in Eng
land. When it was completed she
was to become Adams bride
There was no reasons why Miss
Lowell should study art in order to
become the wife of lieutenant with
nothing but his pay; still, Lieutenant |
Adams never thought of opposing his |
SWeetheart'S wishes. He learned
that she was to sail on the Kronprinz |
a day before his squadron put to |
sea, with orders to clear the Atlantic. |
The Kronprinz, as treasure ship,
was especially desired by the British
admiralty. Adams orders were strict;
if he saw her he was to summon her
to surrender or sink her on sight.
And, of all the scouting torpedo
boats and destroyers, it had fallen to
Adams to sight the fugitive ,Kron-
prinz.

He rang full speed to the engine
room, and, standing beside the wheel

smoke creep up until it covered the
horizon in front of him. Then the
hull of the majestic passenger vessel
appeared upon the waters. And
gradually the Spitfre overhauled
her.

FRUIT EXHIBITS FOR
THE FAIR Essential
With Bumper Crops Of Apples The
Show Should Be Large.

In few days the annual Garrett
County Fair will be held in Oakland.
This is county institution and each
and every citizen should take an inter
est and help to make it a success.
One way to do this is to send exhibits.
Send whatever you think is good.
The managers are anxious to have a
fine display of fruit, and if their re-
quest is answered such an exhibit will
add greatly to the beauty of the show.
Mr.. W. McCulloh Brown will receive
any exhibits of fruit or grain before the
opening of the fair, at his office on the
third floor of the First National Bank
Building in Oakland. After the fair
all exhibits considered worthy will be
packed free of cost to the owner and
sent to cold storage to be exhibited
again at the Fifth Regiment Armory
in Baltimore during Maryland Week.

US show our visitors what Garrett coun-
ty can produce

GRAND OLD VIRGINIA
WENT DRY TUESDAY
Vets Given a Jolt. PrOhibitionists
Win by $4,000 Majority.

Tuesday old Virginia by a good ma
jority of from %, 600 to 10000 majority
swung into the dry column. The friends
of temperance did thorough work all
over the State and expected to carry
the state by 10000 majority. The
whiskey side expected to win out by
1000 ma jority, they claim and lost out
in the fight Their defeat is so over
whelming that they are stunned.
Services in the churches in all parts
of the state were held during election
day, where prayers were offered for the
success of the Prohibition Amendment
The results show that but few counties
went wet, as did also many cities. The
returns indicate that every Congress
sional district went dry, with possibly
the exception of the First district. 1t
is estimated that the total vote polled
will reach $50, 900, which is a larger
vote than was cast at previous cleo
ton.
The temperance people are jubilant
over theit great victory.

Farmers En.huSed.

Farmers ofGarrett county are taking
more than usual interest in the coming
fair They realize that this is their
fair, their opportunity to show the
world what the farmers of this section
of Maryland are doing in the line of
grain, fruit and vegetable raising that
these mountain farms, under proper
cultivation. can produce even superior
fruit and grain to the farms in the low
lands of the State. All the Garrett
county farmers need is to take an in
terest in the proper cultivation of their
lands. What their lands can be made
to do can be seen at the Garrett County
Fair. Competition and friendly ri
valry will lead the heretofore indiffer-
ent husbandman to greater efforts when
he sees what his neighbor is doing.
