Near the West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania lines is one of the live villages of
Garrett county.
The business houses OF the village
would be credit to much larger
town. The merchants carry a large
stock of goods and meet competition
without fear.
The sport of the First National bank
of this village show the financial con-
dition of this section of Garrett county.
We have State High school, which
is doing good work, as is shown by its
graduates.
A planning mill and grist mill add to
the business interests of the town.
Our church houses meet the demands
of the village and surrounding country.
The streets and homes are lighted by
electricity.
We have two hotels, a garage, with
auto supplies.
We have good brass band, several
fraternal organizations and progress
i've farming community all about US.
The books of the B. & o. R. R.
agent show good business transacted
at this station, both incoming and out
going.
We have telephone and telegraph
connections with the outside world.
We have no State road, but we live in
hopes that some day we may be among
the elect and be connected with the
county seat by at least a good road of
some sort, or an air ship passenger and
freight service.
The Garrett County Board of Trade
is represented by Hon. N. L. SeIby,
Clarence Y. Guard and F. G. Fox as
the Local Committee for District No.
2. This connects us with the Garrett
County Boosters and puts US in line for
the development of this end of the
county.
We are lending to District No. ID,
bCOlS &c ~. DlOWLhllS, w. w. Savage,
ct ais to develop the lumber, coal and
other resources of the undeveloped
territory of that district. We are not
only boosters but doors of things as
well.
We are keeping up with the march
of civilization and have a few candi-
dates for offices at the approaching
primaries. They are tried and true
men and would fill with credit the DO
stions sought after, both to the county
and to themselves.

many organizations will send repre-

the College and Experiment Station
have made during the past year in
promoting agricultural development.
There is probably no time of the
year when greater variety of work
can be seen in progress at the Agricul-

Crops are sufficiently advanced to
show the differences which have been
brought out by selection, fertilizing,
lining, etc AS a result, the farmer

top dressing of grass lands improves
the grass yield, can see for himself

RID THE FARM HOUSE OF THE
FLY ISANCE-CLEAN UP.
T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College

maryland AGRICULTURE OOlleSt.
1t is most important to kill the early
appearing flies and to remove their
breeding places. The task of com
batting the pest in rural districts
around farm houses is largely an in.
dividual one and its presence in large
numbers or to a limited extent will
depend upon the sanitary conditions
that are maintained around the house
and barn.
Since house flies may carry germs
of typhoid fever, dysentery, tuber
culosis and other diseases, we would
do we'll to observe the following
rules:
1. Keep flies from breeding (a) by
hauling stable manure out each day
and scattering it Immediately over the
fields, or (b) by putting the manure
in a vault or screened room.
2. Keep all outhouses from breed
ing or communicating flies.
3. Keep all filth and garbage in
closed receptacles.
a. Screen all foods exposed for
sale
5. Do not let nies come in contact
with food.
6. Screen all doors and windows,
especially those Of kitchens and dining
rooms.
Z. Notify the Health Department at
once of a nuisance in your ne1ghbor-
hood
& Let all unite in Sighting the pest.

BY SARA ROBERTA GETTY.

Was there ever a month like lovely May,
When the flowers of spring appear?
While the verdant leaves and blossoms gay
Tell us that summer is near
The birds sing merrily in the tree
Building nests in their leafy homes.
We hear the hum of busy bees
AS they go from flower to flower.
The apple blossoms so pink and white
Fill the air with fragrance sweet
And their petals CLEAN like stars at night
In the grass beneath their feet
Can we find anything like lovely May
Though over the world we roam?
The fragrant breeze of a warm spring day
Fills our hearts with thoughts of home.

defying them. Now and then she
would halt obviously, biting her lips
thoughtfully, a little fearfully, then
quickly resume her journey.
1t was the hour Immediately before
the curtain of night descends upon
the twilight that Captain Judd looked
up sharply at hail from the dock.
While he waited at top of the land
ing stairs for the girl, he wondered
nightly as Alica Knight lightly
climbed beside him. What in the
name of common sense could this
young woman want aboard the yacht
at such an hour? And what should
he do? And then Captain Judd did
exactly as most people do when puz-
zled. He pointed toward the rail
where the owner stood dreamily star
ing out to sea.
Lynn was tired, very tired, and the
rest he sought out here upon the
equally troubled sea came not so
readily as he had expected. The very
soul of him chafed at John Halstead's
bitter mandate that he was to be a
stranger at his home.

curved his lips as he recalled the
beautiful, wild, young creature. Alica

ventions. needless of the morrow. In

III.


There was the hint of longing on
Esther Halsteads face as Alicia fin
ished showing her through the dainty
little Goldcrest apartment. Not the
longing for freedom which seemed the
principal reason for Alica's delight;
not the pride for ownership the
younger girl had displayed, but the
thought of how perfectly it would
serve as setting for the life she had
imagined with the man she loved, the
picturing of Felix Lynn occupying
special little hooks and corners Of the
apartment-that was what brought
the tears all unconsciously to her
eyes.
And you will come to my reception
just a little house-warming tomor-
row afternoon, Esther?"
She started to shake her head in
dissent, smiling at the eagerness of
the girl to begin making the most of
her new-found liberty. But Alicia pratt
tied on before she had time to an
swer.
First I'm going to ask Felix Lynn
and
Esther's lips parted in smile. She
could not forego the delight of seeing
him again. True, she owed a great
deal to her ailing father. But she
owed a debt to this other man as
we'll.
While Alica darted to the phone,
intent upon carrying out her plan i'm
mediately it entered her head, Esther
thought it over. Was she doing right
or wrong?
Felix is living on his yacht now"
Alicia poutingly announced as she re-
entered the room.
Esther smiled lightly as she took
her leave. Lacking responsibility
herself, it was charmingly delightful
to her in others. And it was so be-
coming to Alicia her naive delight in
this freedom from restraint. She was
still laughing as she left the house
and came back to her own distressing
responsibilities.
So engrossed in fact, she did not
turn back and see Alicia slipping light
ly down the street in the opposite di-
rection. Even her innocent mind
would have suspected that the young
girl was about to do something which,
to put it mildly, might have been
termed indiscreet.
For Alicia Knights very back bris-
tied with defiance, her pretty chin was
uplifted and her eyes looked out bit
insolently upon pedestrians as though

v.

The nine days sensation died away,
for the morsel of any scandal, no
odds how savory and juicy to begin
with, grows fiat and pulpy with too
much fietcherizing. But the cheeks
of Felix Lynn grew more and more
sunken and the shadows under the
fine eyes of the man seemed to have
eaten hollows there, hollows from
out of which fearful light burned,
the light Of a man afraid to look at
something, yet, by some terrible at
traction, always forced to look.
There were whispers that the pres
tige he had won in the street was
waning, that he seemed unable to
concentrate, to put the oldtime fire

The smoldering rebellion that had
been banked so long within the very
soul of Alica knight leaped sudden
ly into full flame. For just second
as she deflantly faced her mother,
she realized that now was the time
for final assertion of the manner in
which she proposed to live her life.
Mrs. Knight indolently resumed her
book, unconscious of the crisis she
had precipitated by her refusal to al
low her daughter to christen Felix
Lynn's yacht, needless of the hurt she
had inflicted. She looked up as Alica
stamped her foot.
II tell you ! shall go. told him
over the phone that l was coming,
and am. If you won't chaperon
me I'll go alone. I'm sick and tired
of silly conventions hedging me away
from everything l want to do. It's
my life I'm living and I'm not going
to live II for the world but for my
SELF
Mrs. Knight frowned slightly as the
girl stormed away, then resumed her
reading. So gradual had been the in
creasing violence of Alica's rebellions
she did not realize how close they
stood to the brink of the precipice.
She looked up again as her daughter
Stood, framed in the doorway,

Mrs. Knight rose swiftly. There
had been something incisive, decisive
and Jnbending about the way Alica
announced her destination that re-
vealed vision of herself many years
before. She, too, had been rebellious,
and II was the very violence of her
own nature that made her so fearful

they had been and, somehow the spec
tacle struck deep at something within
him he had thought long since crusted
over.
He had listened carefully to the
captains report and dove-tailed the
scene with the chance gossip he had
heard. At times Lynn was quiet, at
other times he would rave and tear
In the grip of the attendants with
the strength of ten men. And always
In these struggles would he be pur-
sued by the eyes and the lips that
never opened.
Finally with shrug, the doctor
left the place, rather foolish smile
upon his face, certain decision in
his step that came from the indeci-
sion actuating a move that his ASSOC
ciates might have construed as par
taking of the sentimental. He turned
in at the Halstead residence, finding
Esther there clad in deep mourning.
He plunged squarely at the heart of
che matter t4
Miss Halstead," he began quickly,
Il have come to you on behalf of your
husband" He lifted his hand as
she drew quickly away from him, her
eyes hardening with decision.
Felix Lynn has suffered a complete
mental breakdown. Not the break
down which demands few weeks rest
but the sort that may possibly be
cured if the correct methods are APP

You mean-he is"
Insane, Miss Halstead. Yes, that
is what l mean. He is violently In

Her eyes flared defiantly, while her
shoulders Strengthened.
Il am not afraid"
His eyebrows lifted in surprise as
Esther suddenly left the room, to re-
appear almost Immediately, her hat
on for the street. Without a word
she took his arm and moved out the
house with him.
Felix was struggling in the grip Of
powerful attendant when she en-
tered the room. And then a great
pity and love welled within her and
lighted the eyes Of her as she moved
toward this man who had been her
husband. He looked up at her as her
hand fell upon his shoulder. Doctor
Breadner watched the scene eagerly,
slow smile playing about the cor.
ners Of his mouth, as Lynn ceased to
struggle, looked up into the tender
eyes fastened upon him, then sank
back quietly in his chair.
He was about to tiptoe out the
room, away from the scene, when
sounds Of a struggle in the corridor
reached his ears. He moved swiftly
toward the door, annoyed at the dis
traction, then was brushed aside by
woman who darted into the room,
away from the attendant, stood a
moment in the doorway, then flung
herself upon her knees at the right
side of the patient, flinging her arms
about him and bursting into wild
paroxysm Of regret and love.
She lifted her eyes, conscious of
another's presence. Esther did not
finch as she met those eyes, did not
yield by an inch her possession Of
this man she loved.
Doctor Breadner stepped forward, a
bit stunned at the situation. The bat

care for the helpless one they both
