Shartzer, of Garrett county, appeared
in behalf of a number of local bills.
One of these was Mr.. Shartzer's bill

males from 16 to Is years, in Garrett
county. Mr.. Shartzer introduced a
Statewide bill of the same sort some
time ago, and the Judiciary Commit
tee reported it unfavorably. He, there
fore, introduced the same bill, making
it apply only to Garrett county. Mr..
ShartZer argued in favor of this bill be-
fore the committee, and Chairman Hoff-
man intimated that bill meeting the
purpose intended by the Shartzer bill
will have the committees support
little later.
Delegate Shartzer next took up his
Mt. Lake Park bill, which authorizes
and empowers the annual committee of
the Mt Lake Park Association to col
lect their community taxes as municipal
taxes are collected. Chairman Hoff-
man asked Mr.. Shartzer whether he is
a member of the Mt. Lake Park com
munlty, and he replied he is not. The
chairman then asked upon whose auth
GRITTY he. is representing them, and
Delegate Shartzer said the bills had
been sent to him by G. Semmes Hamill,
Jr., attorney for the community. and
he was then informed by Chairman
Hoffman that a gentleman, a reverend
gentleman, had been before the COM
mittee during its forenoon session, who
stated that he is the superintendent of
the Mt Lake Park Association, and
that the only person authorized to speak
for the Association; and that this rev
erened gentleman (Dr. Reed had told
the committee that at his instance a
bill would be introduced at the same
days session "wednesday in the Senate

product of the kitchen. The door is
open to every farmer in the county to
exhibit that which is raised upon his
land. Take advantage Of thesopportu-
nifty to advertise Garrett county as the
best place on earth to liverand to raise
good paying crops Of everything that
can be grown in this section of the
country.

The local merchant is not only con-
venience, but a real necessity. Let
the average housewife imagine herself
trying to deal direct with the manufac-

she needs. Then she will more readily

ton of the man who brings the wares
