cents a peck. the housekeeper should
more than ever be interested in
apples and should serve them often to
her family. The old saying about an
''apple day keeps the doctor away" is
only one reason for eating apples, and,
when all the good qualities of this fruit
are taken into account. it is surprising
that it should have stirred up so much
trouble in the Garden of Eden.

GOOD roads tend to make better men
and women, and while they add to the
natural wealth of communities. make
homes happier and lands more valuable,
for which reason alone encouragement
should be gwen to the construction OF
good roads, the influence of such I'M
provements from the other point of
view should be as persuasive as that
which is purely material, an influence
wrought through the medium of dollars
and cents.

Nor only on Thanksgiving Day, but
on each day in the year, as it slips silent

nation should raise their faces toward

land on all the compass of this little
planet is so blessed as our United
States? Democracy. Peace, Oppor-

WOULD you like to make this Christ
mas just little different-and little
better than all of the others past?
Would you like to feel just little better
satisfied with yourself? Figure up
about the amount of money you expect
to spend, and then send a check for
about one-tenth or one-twentieth of the
amount to your church treasurer. If
every person in town did that it would
save the ministers good deal of plead
ing for funds. Of course the sugges-
ton is rather startling, but it would be
quite in keeping with the Christmas
spirit.

Garrett County's Opportu nifty.

The State of Maine has made for it's
self profitable reputation as a seed
potato raising country. Enormous
crops Of potatoes are raised and mark
eted IN the Southern States, especially
on the Eastern shore Of Maryland One
large Seed House in Baltimore has a
potato farm in Maine.
1t has been demonstrated by the State
Agriculture College that the Garrett
county production Of the same seed
potato, The Irish Cobbler. the Green
Mountain as is raised in Maine is
better adopted for planting on the East
ern Shore and elsewhere in the South.
This being the case the farmers Of
Garrett county ought to produce the
seed potato for this market?
1.-THE difference in transportation would
add largely 10 the profit of our farmers.
Would it not be wise for the farmers
in the specially tested portions of this
county to specialize on the potatoes
spoken of in this articIe2
The potato would have to be raised
in large quantities so az TO fiji orders
for car load lots. There is no question
about the market Produce the pota-
toes and buyers will flock 70 Garrett
county to buy them.
Mr.. Farmer, think this matter oyer
carefully. Make yourself an expert
potato raiser Produce a marketable
seed potato, 1t is i cash proposition.
Taking the pay out IN goods at the
stores is not in the proposition. You
can deal directly with the planter Sc
cure your customers and they are
yours as long as you produce a good
seed potato.
The REPUBLICAN would like to see
the experiment made by some of the
Ryans Glade farmers. Their test as
reported by the Agricultural College.
was good and pronounced equal to the
Maine seed potatoes; yes and more
profitable for the planter who purchased
them. The Steiding report was also
excellent.
The Republican throws out these
suggestions for the purpose of getting
the Garrett county farmers to thinking
on this subject. believeing that it is
Garrett county's opportunity to build
up profitable business and make Gar
rett county famous as a seed potato
growing county. Who will take the
lead IN this matter?
We repeat that it has been found
that seed potatoes grown here here
when planted in the counties on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland by the side
of Maine grown seed, produced 20 per
cent larger yield. This fact was dis
covered and established by the Mary
land State Agriculture Department
after three years test.
The Eastern Shore counties, which
grow train loads of potatoes Tor the
table, cannot, on account of their eli
mate, grow their own seed. They have
been using Maine grown seed. but since
the above mentioned fact was establish
ed last year, they are eagor to get Allie
gany and Garrett seed; but they want
pure, not mixed seed. The varities they
use, more than all others combined, are
the Irish Cobbler for early, and the
Green Mountain for late.

THIS is THE DAY OF THANKS
GIVING.


day is observed as day of National
Thanksgiving. The citizens of this
Republic will assemble in their respec-
tive places of worship for services of
praise and thanksgiving. Addresses
and sermons appropriate for the occasion

country of ours. this iland of the free
and home of the brave, this nation
wonderfully and gloriously blessed by
the Almighty, meet together and con-
slider the unnumbered and manifold
blessing we enjoy, as they think of the
awful war of slaughter, pain and suffer
ing IN the Old World, of the misery,
poverty and destruction those people
are passing through, their hearts will
be filled with pity.
We are in land OF peace and plenty.
God has dealt bountlfully toward US.
Surely goodness and mercy has follow

Our neighbors on the north Canada
are in the midst of sorrow and loss.
Many are the sad homes with: them.
Our neighbors in the south Mexico
have passed through year of strife,
ruin and bloodshed. Their country is
torn up with rebellion and crime.
From all this we have.been delivered.
From our bounty we have been able to
a certain degree to help the needy and
relieve the suffering.
We of Garrett county have just
reasons to observe this day.
The year just closed has been crowd
ed with blessings. Peace, happiness
and comfort is ours. in basket and
in store" have we been blessed All
over Garrett county are seen rich in
dications of Gods meScies and good
ness.
Our condition in every respect, is
better today than it was one year ago.
The year just closed has been a re-
markable one. Pause, for a few
moments, and take look into the past
twelve months. See what the months
have brought to US. They were full of
promise and good cheer.
The glorious local option victory of
November third will call forth songs of
praise and hearty thanksgiving. Not
only for the closing of the dram shop.
but also for the magnificent vote cast
for local option and the small vote for
license.
Thanks be unto God, after April 81,
1915, Garrett county is to be free from
the sale of intoxicants, and the saloon
and all the evil influences connected
with it, and that by the decision of
over rs per cent of the voting popula-
ton.
Thank God for that kind of citizen
ship. 1t means much for the future
history of this growing, prosperous
county. 1t is marvellous. Less than
$40 voters in the county who favored
licensed saloons. This is a splendid
showing. We fell proud OF it. 1t
speaks of growing, healthy, honest,
sober citizenship.
To-day from the abundance bestow-
ed upon US by the giver of all good
gifts, we shall sit down at we'll filled
tables and enjoy the rich things pro-
duced on our farms and be thankful.

The estimated cost of the war in
Europe is in excess Of forty million dol
lars day, exclusive of the value of the
property destroyed and the lives sacri-
feed. The expense is $3.50, 900, 900 a
week or one billion, two hundred million
a month. These figures are beyond
human comprehension. Future gene
rations will have to bear the burden of
the debt growing out Of this war.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union of the United States, in session
at Atlanta, Ca, has passed resolutions
pledging the membership "to make
national prohibition an accomplished
fact" From the committee on reso-
lutlons protest was submitted against
the recent Congressional Legislation
which provides for raising a part of the
war tax from alcoholic liquors and to-
bacco." The convention declared "that
the ballot for women is just and right,
and the recent elections have proven it
a weapon against the liquor traffic"

IT is said that there are two sides to
every question. This is true of the
European war. The United States Is
selling to these warning nations millions
of dollars of supplies. On the other
hand our people are giving millions of
dollars as gifts to help those starving
because of the fearful destruction of
life and property. From America
come the munitions for prolonglng the
war and increasing the suffering, and
also the food and other help which is to
lesson the hardships. A rather peculiar
condition of affairs.
