WHERE YOU MAY NOT FISH.
Streams Stocked During the Past Two
Years closed To Angling.

That the new Garrett County Fish
Law passed by the Legislature is al
most prohibitory and will permit little
trout fishing IN the next two years is
the opinion of local fishermen.
The bill makes it unlawful ''to kill,
take or catch in any manner whatever
any brook trout or other trout from
any of the streams of Garrett county
which have been stocked with said fish
from the states fish hatchery for the
period of two years from April l. 1914. -
There are % streams in Garrett
county that have been stocked this year
over which fish wardeus are now being
employed to keep strict surveillance.
They are Salt Block, Salt Creek,
McLean's Run, Muddy Creek, .Crabtree
Run. Murley's Run, Cherry Creek,
Bear Creek, Short Run, Wolf Den Run.
Harrington Greek, Edgewood Merley
Run, Wilson Lake, Big Savage River,
HoYes Run, Spelcher' Run, Castlemen
River, Delawder Run, Younh Stream,
Forks Run, North Fork, Bear Creek,
Sang Run and Buffalo Run.
To fish for trout before April /. 1916,
in any Of these streams will not only be
an evidence of poor craftsmanship, but
will be violation of the law. punishable
by heavy fine, Several arrests have
already been made by Deputy State
Game Warden E. NJ Warden, of Kitz-
miller, and several wardens are now be-
ing employed to police the streams in
the eastern section of the county where
Allegany county anglers are wont to
cast their lines.
Notices are being posted in every
section of Garrett county with regard
to this matter and all the weekly and
daily newspapers, at the request Of the
best fishermen, are giving the law an
unusual amount of publicity, so if any
one happens to be disturbed by the
strong arm of the law while unlawfully
angling in freshly stocked stream
they Will receive neither mercy from
the law nor sympathy from anglers who
have the best interests of the sport at
heart.
The law fixes violations of its pro-
visions as misdemeanor. punishable
by fine of not less than IS or more
than $50.

The state and License.

When the State licenses the saloon it
is giving legal sanction to the very
thing it was organized to prevent.
The purpose of the State is to suppress
evil while the saloon is the supreme
fountain of evil. The State exists to
maintain peace and order, the saloon is
the enemy of both. The virtue of the
people is the stability of the State, the
saloon destroys this virtue. It is the
function of the State to make and en-
force laws. the saloon is the supreme
cause of lawlessness. The existence
of the saloon places In jeopardy every
purpose of the State. Can the State
be true to herself and legalize thai
which more than all other institution:
combined blocks her purpose? Chris

The Circus Abandoned Performance

The circus people were forced to
abandon the performance advertised to
take place in Oakland last Tuesday.
The day was one of the most wretch
ed experienced for a long time.
1t rained and at times poured. The
circus trains did not reach Oakland
until late in the morning. The bad
condition of the roads made it almost
impossible to get the tents poles, ETC., to
the show grounds. About 2 p. m. the
announcement was made that there
would be no night show, but that there
would be an afternoon performance.
The band played one piece of music in
front of the Garrett National bank
building and then went to the show
grounds, but as no seats had been put
up and because of the great difficulty
in getting the material together the
show people gave up and abandoned
the idea of having any performance and
begun to take the tents down and pack
up. There was fine lot of horses, and
some Indians and a great MANY show
people. Of the street takers we have
nothing to say. In loading the show
Tuesday one of the most valuable of the
horses was killed by being struck by g
fast freight train.

MAY QUEENS DAY LAST FRIDAY
This Is The Month When SprinS Is
rloSI Charming.

Last Friday was the first day in
witching May. Mere mortals had to
bow and pay homage to the May Queen,
who assumes the seasons throne.
And poets, dreamers and just plain,
every day mortals who love the open
for its own sake, expressed hopessthat
the spring, so coy, 50 shy. so disapoint-
ing this year, would decide to stay
awhile.
In We olden tyne the first day of the
fifth month was one of great rejoicing.
Among the Germanic and Latin peoples
it has always been associated with
festal ceremonies in their origin religi-
ons. With the ancients, it was Gus
tom to rise early and go forth into the
fields gathering all manner of wild
fruits and flowers. There is evidently
a pagan origin behind this observance,
which was confined to no particular
class, but was enjoyed by plebeians
and patricians with equal enthusiasm.
Maia was worshipped thousands of
years ago as the goddess of bounty and
fertility, and in the midst of the past
the May day celebration is linked,
somehow, with this benefcent deity.
Closley akin to it, too. was the Roman
Floralia, which was celebrated on April
2S. Flora was another goddess of fer
tility. From these these ancient Gust
oms sprang others which spread
throughout the world, and the MAY
birth is now celebrated in almost every
land and cline.

BY FLORA MILNER HARRISON

It was considered impractical to attempt to handle the entire class of 45 juniors at Auburn with the equipment at hand, and so a preliminary contest was held in March, in preparation for coaching for the Memphis contest In this preliminary contest all except 12 students were elim- mated. From that time until just before the college closed in the spring, these students were given extra work in judg- ing during every vacant period that could be secured. Frequently there were night classes and the professors and students worked intensively on stock judging.
 For the summer positions on good, live stock farms in Illinio,s Ohio and Ken lucky were secured by the professors for several of the men in this team In this way they were enabled to see great deal better and more live stock than they had seen at home and on the station farm

Students Stock Judging Contest Auburn Team Wins First Hono

E. Gibbons, scientific assistant in beef: J. A. Mcleod, assistant in swine, and c. T. Bottoms, farm superintendent.
 The work taken up may be classed un- der five heads; stock judging, feeding, breeding. management of live stock. and dairying. The work Is as practical as possible. The students are given such practice and instruction that upon grad uating they may succeed In these lines on their own farms and may assist in solving some of the economic problems along agricultural lines.
 According to Professor Girton, the abil- ity to judge live stock is the basis for animal husbandry work, for unless per- of selecting good animals he is handi- capped, even though he may take proper care of his stock. For this reason stock judging is one of the points emphasized at Auburn. Not only are lectures given. but the classes go to the station farm, where the lectures are followed up and the students get actual experience. It was to give further work in this line that the team went to Memphis.
 Preparing for Contest
 Professor Templeton and Professor Girton, knowing that competition gives added interest to any work, decided to coach team for the students stock judging contest held at the Tri-State fair at Memphis. Both the professors have taken part in similar contests in their student days. Professor Temple ton was a member of the Missouri team which won first prize at the in irrational contest in Chicago, 1910, and 9hile con- Dected with the animal husbs by de- partment at Texas A. and M. colege. he coached the winning team a1 tf.e Fort Worth contest, March, 1913 This team won the international contest held in Chicago the following fall.
 Professor Girton was member of the stock judging team representing Iowa State college. Ames, la. at Kansas City Royal, and of the winning team at the international in Chicago. 1912. This team won over Il others contesting.

 During my stay here I have visited the national library. the national mu- scum and the art gallery. all of which are worth seeing. The library ad1oins the supreme court building, but new site has been chosen and they are now packing the books preparatory to nov ing. The library has about 500,0D0 vol umes and a special feature of it Is q collection of native newspapers that goes back to the beginning of the country. Among these are copies o1 the first paper that was published ih South America. and also of the Aurora, the first paper printed in Chile. Ths latter is dated February IS. 1872, and, strange to say. It's editors and printers were men from the United States, this fact being stated on the title page.
 The Chile of today has excellent newspapers. It has altogether about 70 dailies and more than 200 weeklies and semi-weeklies There are 100 dii- ferent periodicals issued here in San tiago, the chief of which Is the Mer- curio This has editions for both tlre capital and for Valparaiso, and it IS published both morning and evening. Like the New York Herald. its evening edition is printed in pink. It has also big Sunday issue including features similar to those Of our metropolitan dailles. The paper has fine offices in Santiago, with a counting room that looks more like the rotunda of ca- thedral than the ordinary place for transacting such business. It belongs to Don Augusta Edwards. one of the richest men of Chile. and at present minister from this country to Great Britain.

 At Tri-State Fair
 From the University of Missouri, the Auburn team went to Memphis, arriving there on September 2S. The Tri-Statel fair had open but the men were instruct ed not to visit the fairgrounds. as the contest would not be held until the fol- lowing day.
 The management of the Tri-State fair. recognizing the possibilities of stock pro ducing Tn the south and the importance of interesting the yonug men in the southern states in the study and improve animals, made the students judging con- test an prominent feature of it's fair pro- gramme. The association offered hand some silver trophy to the institlte whose team did the msot efficient judging In the horse, beef cattle, hog, and sheep classes, and gave the most satisfactory reasons for their placing. Beside this team trophy, others were offered to the individual students proving o be the best judges in each division. Individual prizes amounting to sio5 were also of fered.
 Professor A. NJ. Murphy of the exten- sion department of the University of Tennessee had charge of the contest grading and judging the contestants placing and reasons. Each man was gwen number and was known by this number instead Of his name, to avoid all questions CT partia1ity. The contestants were noti- fled that on all sheep, beef cattle, and hog classes they would be allowed 15 minutes for placing the animals, making their notes, and submitting their placing cards Or horses they were allowed 20 minutes ill order to have time to consider action
 The animals were divided into the fol- lowing classes; First, yearing Duroe- Jersey sows; second. Berkshire boars un- der six months; third.

the team visit places where good live stock in larger numbers could be studied. The University of Missouri was decided upon as the place where a trip could be made at least expense and yet where the men would be able to study a large number of different breeds of live stock.
 On September 21, Professor Templeton with a team of five men, w. E. Ayres, J. F. Bazemore J. T. High, H. H. E. Mask, and J. A. Simms left for Columbia, Mo-. arriving there the following even ing.
 Dean Mumford and Professor Trow- bridge, together with all the other mem bers of the animal husbandry faculty gave the Alabamians a royal welcome put at their disposal everything that would be of service to them. Four days were spent at the university judging horses, beef cattle, sheep and swine. Pro- lessor Templeton was assisted by from one to four of the university professors. They assisted during the entire time in class work and in arranging classes, and
