SUGAR MAKING WILL SOON BEGIN
The Extract of Trees Made A la Gar
tett County. The Best.

Boiling maple sugar will soon begin
in Garrett county, which event takes
the place of everything else on a farm
where sugar groves exist.
The weather has been of such nature
this winter that the outlook for good
crop is promising, and as a result the
market will be active. Already buyers
are arriving at .GrantsYllle and many
sales have been made.
In the camps at night there are scenes
of festivity around the blazing camp
fires. where the sap is being boiled, and
already the shipment is being made of
maple sugar to the Eastern cities.
Grantsville is the headquarters of
maple sugar makers. and there are
several big camps The flow of sap
this year is far above the average, and
the farmers owing large maple groves
look for an abundance of sugar.
Boiling the sap is one of the greatest
events, and while entaiIing great deal
of hard work. furnishes lots of enioy-
ment for the young people all over the
countryside.
Especially is this true in the gather
ing of the "spotza' from the boiling
sugar. Spoonsful of the boiling sugar
are dropped into cold water, which
almost instantly converts it into sue
culent sweet mass like taffy. A large
spoonful! of 'spotza" can be chewed
for an hour if the chewer can success
fully keep it from sticking to his or
her teeth.
1t is expected that the run of maple
sap will continue the entire week.
Frost has tendency to increase the
flow.
In recent years the extensive sale of
timber lands in the mountainous section
of the maple tree country cut down the
supply. The large maple trees that
annually yielded barrles of sap, are cut
down by woodmen, and cut up into
lumber.
Maple wood is in great demand from
the manufacturer of furniture and
woodenware of all kinds. With the ex-
ception of the farmers who are refus-
ing to sell the maple groves. it is be-
lieved in a few years the immense
tracts of maple timber will be cut
down and the boiling of maple syrup
and the manufacture Of maple sugar
will disappear. There are trees in the
GrantsviIle district that have Welded
maple sap for over hundred years.

AS TO ADVERTISEMENTS OF
INTOXICATING LIQUORS

In the Pittsburgh Gazette Times of
recent date there appeared the follow
ing announcement on the first page,
and, as the Times is one Of the great
metropolitan daIlies, its utterances
along the lines of Temperatures are
significant and shows the pronounced
and growing trend of public opinion:
''In order to make its business policy
harmanize with its editorial utterances
The Gazette Times will hereafterneither
seek nor accept advertisements of IN
toXicating liquors al existing liquor
advertising contracts will be cancelled,
if possible; those that cannot be cancled
will not be renewed upon their eX-
plration.
In this connection it Is in order to
mention that The Republican, which
was founded in March, 1877, has never
sought nor has it published ONE LINE
OF ADVERTISEMENTS OF IN
TOXICATING LIQUORS. More over,
it has repeatedly turned down contracts
calling for fabulous advertising rates
for very limited space, Very often the
money which could have been secured
for this class of advertising was much
needed to pay operating expenses of
the office, but it was deemed that it
were better to close up shop than to
accept line of advertising that would
in the end drive 9ther advertisers from
our columns. This record is one of
which very few papers can boast; none
other in Garrett county has clean rec
ord in this respect.
The Republican rejoices to see a
newspaper of the size and influence of
the Gazette Times take this stand.
Such an example will have far reach
ing effect.
Public sentiment once aroused can
not be denied. 1t is only a matter OF
time

snow fall the roads are almost entirely
blockaded by snow drifts.
Charles Wiley and sister MISS Myrtle

which will be used in improving their

A falling limb struck Charles Buckle
on the left shoulder and side, few DAYS

for Jennings Bros. The injuries re-
suting to Mr.. Buckle were not serious
and his escape from death is considered
miraculous.
Joe Hetrick, of Negro Mountain, was
an agreeable visitor to this village last
week.
Oliver Beachy made flying visit to
Salisbury. Pa, recently.
The public attention is on the situa-

CHANCE AND PERSEVERANCE THE
Difference

There is an old maxim which runs,
"All things come to him who waits
A very pretty sentiment indeed but
capable of unfortunate Interpretation,
for we know there are too many per-
sons relying on chance to bring success.
And success isn't attained as result
of chance
Perseverance is a necessity. Moth
ing guarantees success like it. 1t is
more effective than brllliancy.
Continuous, unfagging effort, per
sistence and determination are winning
factors. Cyrus Field spent eleven
years before he succeeded in designing
and LAYING the Atlancic cable. But sue
cess didn't come to him because he
waited for it but because he went out
after it and stayed on the job.
Edison according to his own ad-
mission, made 1900 experiments before
he discovered the proper substance for
the incandescent light. He made some
5000 experiments before he solved the
problem of preparing the products of
the great iron mills for the blast fur
mace. Things came Edisons way be-
cause he made them come-because he
persevered.
Kepler solved the laws of the plane
tary system but it took him II years to
do it. Noah Webster was 35 years pro-
ducing the dictionary that bears his
name. 1t took 20 years for Edward
Gibbon to compose The Rise and Fall
of the Roman Empire" and so count
less examples could be cited of how men
labored and persevered in their labors
in order to accomplish their aim.
Perseverance is simply the bending
of all energies in one direction until
the thing is accomplished.
Those who are found at the foot of
the hill all seek for an easy ride. The
man who succeeds, while others fail,
must be willing to pay the price. There
is not a business or profession but
knows that luck is but a myth. Plod,
push and perseverance win the game.

GOOD ROADS AND RURAL SCHOOLS

The rural population is more willing
to support better schools today than at
any previous time. 1t is being realized
that all education activities,o agencies
must be more or less correlated, and,
more than all else, that they must be
made accessible to the children.
In many counties where bad roads
prevail, most of the schools are of the
Anticipated one-room variety. They
are usually located along bad roads
which, during the winter. when the
schools are usually in session, become
so nearly impossible as TO make it
difficult for the children to reach them.
This condition causes irregular at
tendance and restricts the educational
opportunities of the child. Not only
this, but it often impedes the economic
consolidation of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, directed by a
competent principal and corps of
teachers, according to the office of
Public Roads, U. s, Department of
Agriculture.
On the other hand, in counties which
have improved their roads, the schools
are easily reached. the average at
tendance greater, the efficiency largely
increased and economic consolidation
made possible. Regular attendance at
school means consistent and regular
growth of both school and pupil, and
consolidation of schools means max
imum of efficiency at minimum Of
cost.

TIE YANKEE IN ENGLAND.

those jealous local railway men who
complain of the choice if we imagine
that the appointment Of Henry w.
Thornton of Long Island to be General
Manager of the Great Eastern Rail

proof of the superiority Of our men and
methods in transportation.
An American is such a post has some
advantage over Briton Of like ability
and experience. He will probably get
freer hand He will almost certainly
be less obsequiou5 toward titled direct
ors. But his chief distinguishing quail
ticatiOns is precisely that he comes from
distance, has profted by a different
experience and should be quicker to
notice where improvement can be made.
That advantage good English railway
man would have in this country.
There is no tariff on talent; free
trade in ideas benefits civilization. We
lent the older hemisphere a Franklin
and Paine to stimulate political thought,
a Rumford for dawning science, a
Hotchkiss and Maxim to show how
war NAV be made more deadly. Yerkes
taught London how to make d subway.
and Thornton may be as successful with
a rundown committing traffic. But we
had to import Slater to teach US to
make cotton. Hamilton and a Gala
tin to steady the national finance, an
Ericsson to build the Monitor. All the
